with their mouths and could transform from a biped walking mode to a four-legged hunt mode. Their secondary weapons were staffs with special powers which were needed to track down criminals. The arms could rotate with a wheel on their backs. The Vahki sets also included ''Kanoka Club codes'' to enter on Bionicle.com, printed on a cardboard piece. Their canisters were triangular, with a transparent lid in their respective colours.

In 2005 the [[Toa Metru/Toa Hordika|Toa Hordika]] were released, along with the [[Visorak]]. It varied in several countries on which set line came out first. The Toa Hordika were the first Toa to have uniform weapons, these were called [[8748 Rhotuka Spinners|Rhotuka Spinners]]. They could be launched by pulling a line. The Rhotuka Spinners had a code consisting of Matoran letters and numbers to enter on Bionicle.com as a Kanoka Club code. The canisters of the Toa Hordika were nearly round, having some rivets on the side. The lid could be screwed and on top there was a notch to fill with Rhotuka Spinners.▼

The [[Visorak]] also used the Rhotuka Spinners, mounted on their backs. Additionally, by pressing the back of these spider-like creatures down, their pincers would open and close. Their canisters were similar to those of the Toa Hordika. The lids had a transparent plastic dome which could be removed to remove a Rhotuka Spinner. These also had a code printed on them.
This year the ''Playsets'' were introduced, LEGO models of big buildings and vehicles of the BIONICLE universe. The figures included in these sets didn't have any articulation points and consisted of two parts: the figure and its weapon. The Titans were packed in big boxes, all of them including Rhotuka Spinners.

During spring 2006 the [[Piraka]] were introduced. They featured light-up eyes, rubber faces and spines and a new weapon called the ''Zamor Launcher'' which fired plastic balls called [[8719 Zamor-Spheres|Zamor-Spheres]]. The secondary weapon of the[[File:Zlauncher.jpg|thumb|Zamor Sphere Launcher]] Piraka was a double-sided weapon which could be flipped. [[8903 Zaktan]], for an example, featured a secondary weapon with a three-bladed scissor on the one and pincers on the other side. Their canisters were bullet grey with a screwable lid. The lid contained the light-up eyepiece and it had to be taken out before it could be built with. There was also a plastic mould of the respective Piraka head, which in turns could also be removed from the lid, although it wasn't compatible to any [[LEGO]] [[TECHNIC]] piece.▼

The [[Toa Inika]], which were released in summer 2006, carried a modified version of the Zamor Launcher: It had an additional piece that made it able to hold four Zamor-Spheres at once, instead of one. The Zamor-Spheres included with the Toa Inika came in the colours orange, blue and green. As their secondary weapon, although used as a primary one, was a strobe-light tool which glowed either red, blue or green. It could be activated by pressing a small black button on the side of the weapon. The weapon pre-included small batteries, which were removable. Each head of the Toa was designed with a rubber mask, and could not accept any other mask. This caused problems for some builders who wished to use the new masks on custom characters but wanted the original eye colour of that character, not the green they had. The plastic canisters of the Toa consisted of two parts. The bottom part could hold the four Zamor-Spheres and the strobe-light weapon. The top part fastened everything into place. The sides of the canisters showed the word "BIONICLE" on them.
