Axalara T9 is a large vehicle Artakha created and stored in the Codrex with the Rockoh T3 and Jetrax T6 before the Toa Mata were created.
After the Toa Nuva entered the Codrex, Onua accidentally triggered the appearance of three vehicles. Lewa discovered the Axalara T9, and shortly afterwards, Antroz revealed himself and hijacked the Jetrax T6. Pohatu immediately gave chase on the Rockoh T3, and Lewa soon followed on the Axalara T9. When the Rockoh T3 was shot down, Lewa prepared to charge into the Jetrax T6.
As Pohatu and Lewa were about to crash into the vehicle with the Rockoh T3 and Axalara T9 from opposite sides, Antroz teleported out of the pilot's seat of the Jetrax T6. Kopaka managed to create ice barriers to bring the two vehicles to a stop, and proceeded to take control of the vehicle.
Later on, when the Energy Storms arose, all three vehicles were used by the Toa Nuva and Takanuva to escape Karda Nui. They were successful, and flew to Metru Nui. The three vehicles were able to join the defense of the island city against Brotherhood forces, and they succeeded.
Features
Of any aerial vehicle, the Axalara T9 is the strongest. It is equipped with dual Midak Skyblasters and tri-arms which feature lasers, and force field capacitors. The vehicle features double-reinforced, 24-inch-thick armor (0.44 bio) made of Protosteel, and it is armed with Protosteel weapons. Up to seven-million pounds of thrust can be exerted by the T9 engine. The "smart cockpit" on the Axalara T9 directly feeds sensor information to its pilot.
Set Information
Axalara T9 was released as one of the large boxed sets in the second half of 2008 with 693 pieces. Thirty-six of the pieces are used to build Lewa, leaving 657 pieces for the actual vehicle. It comes packaged with a new form of Lewa in his Adaptive Armor. The tri-arms are able to fold away by spinning a wheel on either side, while another pair of wheels directly in front of those ones open or close the four side panels, revealing the set's two Midak Skyblasters. Larger wheels further forward on the craft's sides deploy Axalara's landing gear. A handle affixed to the bottom of the vehicle assists in play. The Axalara T9 set is the largest set yet in terms of pieces; it measures twenty inches (fifty-two cm) long and thirteen inches (thirty cm) high.
Trivia
