The model has two removable aero - slicers that double as wings . Background . After Matau became a Toa Metru , he was concerned more about fame and glamour of being a hero , rather than the work . Once Vakama had the vision of the six Great Disks , Matau was immediately ordered by Vakama to go find the Le - Matoran Orkahm . Matau eventually found Orkahm in a web of transport cords . He managed to get the Matoran out and escaped before the Morbuzakh reached them . Vakama then had the Toa and Matoran split into pairs to find the Great Disks . His partner on this mission was Nokama . Matau rescued the Great Disk from a Force Sphere in The Notch , almost killing himself in the process , and helped Nokama find the Great Disk of Ga - Metru under the Great Temple by providing a distraction for the Vahki that were chasing them . They then entered Ta - Metru to find the Morbuzakh . After nearly being killed by Morbuzakh seedlings and gaining entrance to the Great Furnace with the help of a Matoran Nui , Matau with the other Toa Metru faced off against the king root with the other Toa , killing it with their Great Disks . After defeating the monster plant , Matau and the other Toa where told to go down into the Archives by Nuparu . Then and there , he and the other Toa fought Rahkshi and an intelligent Rahi known as Krahka . They defeated the Rahkshi and the Krahka and headed up , and out of the Archives . Matau and the other Toa were ready to be hailed as Toa by Turaga Dume and the Matoran . Instead , they were branded as impostors . Unbeknownst to the Toa , there really was an impostor — Dume himself . Teridax , under the guise of Dume , planned to place the Matoran into hibernation and then wake them up to serve him — and him alone . Nuju , Onewa , and Whenua were all trapped under the Coliseum while Vakama , Nokama , and Matau escaped to safety . After many encounters and adventures , Matau and the others were all reunited , along with Turaga Lhikan . Now the Toa had one last mission to accomplish — defeating Teridax . After a long battle on the Great Barrier , the six Toa Metru trapped the Master of Shadows in a Protodermis prison . During the battle , Turaga Lhikan sacrificed himself to save Vakama and the Vahi , Mask of Time . Now the Toa had to find a new home for the Matoran with no guidance — a mission which was filled with many trials . The Toa Metru managed to make it above ground , to the island which they christened Mata Nui . The island was filled with wild Rahi , several habitats , and was many times larger than Metru Nui . Matau chose a dense jungle for the home of his Matoran , as it reminded him of the Chute systems in Le - Metru . But before the Matoran could come and live here , they would have to be rescued - a mission which would change Matau forever . When he had seen what had happened to Le - Metru after the earthquake , it filled him with grief , especially the destroyed and abandoned Test Track and Moto - Hub . Matau wore a Mahiki Mask of Illusion , which not only allowed him to create illusions but also shapeshift . He could duplicate the voices of those he impersonated , but did not assume their powers . He carried two Aero - Slicers which were strong enough to cut through energy fields and could also serve as glider wings and rotors ; they also channeled his elemental air power .
