- “Fighting the Universe? No, we’re not. We’re fighting a madbeing who controls the power of a universe.”
- ―Tahu
8534 Tahu is a BIONICLE set released in 2001. It is one of the first BIONICLE sets.
Background
Tahu was released in 2001. As a Toa Mata, Tahu carried a fire sword, and when you turned a gear in his back, his arm with the sword would move up and down. He wore a red Kanohi Hau, the Great Mask of Shielding. In the 2003 storyline, Tahu was released in his new form as a Toa Nuva in the set 8572 Tahu Nuva. An entirely new set based on the original Tahu figure was released in 2010 as part of the BIONICLE Stars subtheme.
Storyline notes
- Tahu wears the Kanohi Hau, Mask of Shielding.
- In the first story arc, he collected five masks, and combined them to make one gold one. As a Toa Nuva, his mask was red, not gold.
- When Tahu transformed into a Toa Nuva, his mask became a Kanohi Hau Nuva.
- He is the leader of the Toa Nuva.
- Tahu Nuva also collected five Nuva masks, but they were destroyed in BIONICLE: Mask of Light, so he is the only Toa Nuva with one mask.
