Techno Blades

The Techno Blades are weapons the ninja obtained at Borg Tower. They can "hack into systems," which allows ordinary machinery to transform into Ninja vehicles.
==History==
===The Surge===
At Borg Tower, Cyrus Borg gave the ninja a statue. In the elevator, when they accidentally dropped the statue, the Techno Blades were inside. When Kai picked them up, the alarm ran, calling the ninja assailants. Then the elevator quickly threw them down, but they managed to escape and put on their new suits. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to use the Techno Blades until Zane hacked a copter. Eventually, Jay hacked a rover, Cole hacked a robot, and Kai hacked a jet. There he got sent a message by Borg saying that once the culprit of the widespread glitches, The Overlord, knows the ninja have the Techno Blades, he won't let them leave the city. 
===The Art of the Silent Fist===
When the Overlord explains that he needed more of Lloyd's power to be freed of his digital prison, a corrupted P.I.X.A.L. says he needed the Techno Blades to stop the ninja from rebooting the system, but the Overlord interrupts her.
At Garmadon's monastery, Zane says he will protect the blades. At night, though, P.I.X.A.L attempts to steal them, but Zane ties her up and brings her to the monastery. When Zane pulls out his Techno Blade, Garmadon tries to refuse him, but Jay reassures him that it only hacks into technology and is not a real weapon. Zane taps P.I.X.A.L with his blade, purifying her from The Overlord's corruption.
At Ninjago's Storm Farms, Kai and Cole attempt to hack it to turn off the power, but it is sealed in with a hard glass seal. 
===Enter the Digiverse===
The ninja bring the Techno Blades to the Digiverse, and eventually, they attempt to reboot the system. Unfortunately, the Overlord blocks the reboot system, but with the help from Lloyd, the ninja harness his Golden Power and reboot the system. It is unknown what happened to the Techno Blades afterwards.
==LEGO.com description==
===Rebooted (2017 Museum gallery)===
Despite their name, the Techno-Blades are not standard weapons. They are not sharp-edged and are not designed for combat. Created by Cyrus Borg, the Techno-Blades were designed to destroy the Digital Overlord. They were capable of rebooting the Digiverse system and erasing the Digital Overlord from existence in the process. The Techno-Blades were also capable of hacking into vehicles' operating systems. When used by one of the ninja, the blade caused their elemental powers to sweep over the vehicle, changing its color to match that of the ninja. The ninja used these blades to take control of and transform vehicles during the fight with the Digital Overlord. Techno-Blades begin to glow in the presence of computerized systems.https://web.archive.org/web/20160919032900/http://www.lego.com/en-us/ninjago/accessories/weapons/techno-blades-zane-season-3-4fb536f916994d0eb5d902e6c2070bff
===Day of the Departed===
Dormant Techno-Blades don’t look like much and they’re too dull to cut anything. It’s only when they’re shoved into a piece of technology that their real power is revealed. Lloyd wasn’t gifted a Techno-Blade by Cyrus Borg. He pretended he didn’t mind and there were other things to worry about at the time, but sometimes he dreams about what his Techno-Blade might have created!Virtual Tour
==Functions==
When dormant, the Techno Blades lack their distinctive heads and much of their power, being too dull to effectively cut most objects. However, their true power is revealed when in the proximity of a hackable machine; the Blades grow in size, and their blades become sharper and begin glowing. It is then that the Techno Blades truly work as weapons and hacking devices. Specifically they can hit a machine run by Borg industries to hack it meaning the main computer also known as the Digiverse can no longer control it also the Blades when all 4 are together with the Hard Drive of the Master Computer can reboot the System
==Appearance==
*Kai's Techno Blade is red and resembles a long axe. He used it to transform a jet into his Kai Fighter.
*Cole's Techno Blade is green and resembles a flail or a whip. He used it to transform a Security Mech into his Earth Mech.
*Zane's Techno Blade is blue (white in the TV series) and resembles a staff. He used it to transform a Hover-Copter into his NinjaCopter and turn P.I.X.A.L. good again.
*Jay's Techno Blade is yellow (blue in the TV series) and resembles a chainsaw blade. He used it to transform a Nindroid Tank into his Lightning off-roader.
*Cryptor's Techno Blade is neon green and resembles a flail with the Yin Blade's handle. He used it to try to kill Zane in order to take his place amongst the living.
==Appearances==
==Trivia==
*Technoblade, a famous Minecraft YouTuber who died of cancer during 2022, once jokingly suggested that his name was inspired from them.
**This is not the case, however, as he had previously stated that he came up with the name before Ninjago existed.https://twitter.com/Technothepig/status/498876070418866176?lang=en
*Lloyd is the only ninja who doesn't have a Techno Blade; according to the Hall of Villainy section on the Ninjago website, he claimed not to mind, but secretly wondered what he might have been able to create with one.
*Jay's Techno Blade is yellow but in the show it is light blue.
* The Techno Blades no longer appear in the series after "Enter the Digiverse," possibly because they fulfilled their purpose in "defeating" The Overlord.
**Despite Borg having created them with the intention of deleting The Overlord, the Techno Blades were unable to erase all of the Dark Lord's encoded essence as a small fragment still remained and was able to latch onto Zane's systems when the Ice Ninja rebuilt himself. This is probably because Borg was unable to perfect the Techno Blades since he was under constant observation by The Overlord.
*Cole's Techno Blade is the only one available in only one set; however, that set is 70720 Hover Hunter, which is the smallest set of the Rebooted wave, making it fairly cheap and easy to get.
*Although Cryptor's Techno Blade was made with the energy and spirit of one of the four originals, it's unknown which one was used to create it.
**It may be Cole's Blade, due to both blades appearing similar to each other.
*When the ninja hack into vehicles, they appear to transport into the pilot seats regardless of where they were the moment before that. It's unknown how this works.
*Even though the ninja seemingly gave away their Elemental Powers to Lloyd in "Island of Darkness," the Techno Blades' use of their respective elements proves that the ninja retained their powers to some degree.https://twitter.com/TommyAndreasen/status/775772307734298624
*Jay's Trans-Yellow Techno Blade appears in a LEGO DC Comics set 76025 Green Lantern vs. Sinestro. It also bares a resemblance to Zane's techno blade but fully transparent yellow.
