Bamboo Disks were created by the Matoran of Mata Nui as a defense mechanism against the Rahi. They were the primary weapon during the thousand-year period in which they occupied Mata Nui. They were most likely based after the Kanoka disks used on Metru Nui. However, unlike Kanoka, these disks are made from bamboo, not Protodermis, and they have no special powers. Disks were manufactured primarily in Le-Koro, although they were owned by Matoran all over the island. Some disks had pictures of Kanohi masks inscribed onto them, although this was only for ceremonial purposes and had no significance relating to the disks' power or attributes. Disk-throwing championships were a popular alternative to Kolhii matches, and Hafu was believed to be a champion. One of these games was noted in the promo comic Challenge of the Rahi. Since the invention of the new form of Kolhii, Disk-throwing has gone slightly out of fashion, although many Matoran still carry disks for defense against Rahi.
Example Usage
In Challenge of the Rahi, Hewkii threw a disk at an attacking Nui-Jaga.
Set Information
Bamboo Disks exist in set form as black throwing disks (the same piece featured in some earlier LEGO sets, and later featured in glow-in-the-dark plastic as Kanoka disks). Six versions were released, each printed with an image of one of the Kanohi masks of the Toa Mata and the name of the Toa Mata who chiefly wore that mask. They were released in the six promotional Matoran sets released in 2001 McDonalds Happy Meals, with the image on the disk corresponding to the Toa who protected that Matoran's village. Pulling back and releasing the Matoran set's right arm enabled them to throw the disk.
The BIONICLE Power Pack released in 2002 featured a disk printed with the Kanohi Hau as well as a Hafu set containing the same action feature as above.
