In spring 2008 the [[Phantoka]] and the Av-Matoran were introduced. The three Toa were armed with a [[Midak Skyblaster]], which could fire Midak Sky spheres, silver coloured [[8719 Zamor-Spheres|Zamor-Spheres]]. The first half of the year concentrated on battle in the skies, so the Toa, Makuta and Matoran had flying devices. The three Phantoka Makuta carried [[Tridax Pod]]s, which were orange transparent spheres which could "explode" by hitting the ground, releasing "''Shadow Leeches''", which could drain the light of a being. These Makuta were the first Makuta to have real Kanohi masks with a certain power instead of having normal faces. The Phantoka canister design is unique, it features a plastic box with a lid and a plastic frame representing rock columns which can be fitted on to the side. These canisters could not be stacked. The Titan sets all came in a box, one of them being [[8697 Toa Ignika]], the first set to have an Ignika included, although it was silver.[[File:Toa_Ignika.png|thumb]]

During summer 2008 the [[Mistika]] were released. This line again featured three Toa and three Makuta. The Toa were released with swamp armour because of the plot playing in a swamp. The Toa, as well as the Makuta, carried ''Nynrah Ghost Blasters'' with rubber projectiles in either lime green or silver. The Makuta were released as a mutated form of themselves, but they too wore Kanohi masks. The canisters of the six Mistika featured a lid with a Kanohi Ignika on the side. The Ignika had two sides: the one side was scarred and rough, the damage the Ignika received in time. The other side was smooth and without any scars, the appearance it had when it was created. The canisters had a notch in the bottom so they could be stacked.

The Matoran were the biggest Matoran to be released, but also the ones with the least pieces, all of them having 14 pieces, except for [[8947 Radiak]]. They did not have uniform weapons and flying devices, the Av- or Light-Matoran had a jetpack and the Shadow Matoran had black wings. Their canisters were a mix of box and canister: The top and bottom part was a plastic piece, representing rocks. The middle part however was made out of cardboard with an image of the set. It was hold together via a plastic band.

In spring 2009 the [[Glatorian]] were released, along with six Agori and two Titan sets, [[8990 Fero and Skirmix]] and [[8991 Tuma]]. The Glatorian all wielded [[Thornax Launcher]] with rubber [[Thornax]] fruits as projectiles. They also all had a secondary weapon. The masks from 2001 - 2008 were now helmets, having no notch where the mouth was, but on top of the head. The lids of their canisters wore an unknown pattern, which could be stacked using the bottom of another canister. In summer 2009 the [[Glatorian Legends]] were released with [[8989 Mata Nui]] wearing a yellow Ignika. These sets also had Thornax launchers and a secondary weapon. Their canisters had a different lid pattern but could also be stacked.
