8540 Vakama is a BIONICLE set released in 2001 based on the character Turaga Vakama. He is coloured red and orange and carries a staff. The set is identical to 1417 Vakama, but with different packaging. Pushing the lever on his back will cause his arm to move.
Background[edit | edit source]
Turaga Vakama started his life as a Matoran, until he was given a Toa Stone, and was then changed into a legendary Toa. He later sacrificed his Toa powers to help revive all the Matoran of Metru Nui, who now lived on the island of Mata Nui, with their memory erased. Vakama then became a Turaga, one of the six wise elders and leaders of Mata Nui. After the Matoran and the island's Toa defeated Makuta Teridax, the six Turaga revealed to the Matoran about their past island, Metru Nui, and together, the Toa, the Matoran, and the Turaga returned to Metru-Nui, where they truly belonged.
