blazer claws

The blazer claws were a pair of torch-like weapons that served as Vakama's Toa tools when he was a Toa Hordika.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 They each had the appearance of a claw-like torch emitting a large flame that served as a blade.note 1 Although Vakama lacked elemental powers as a Toa Hordika, he could use his blazer claws to charge his elemental fire Rhotuka spinner, which could significantly increase the strength of its effects.5, 1, 4, 7 In order to do this, Vakama needed to hold up his blazer claws, launch a Rhotuka spinner from his back, and mentally will it to hover in place in between his blazer claws while they charged the spinner, before releasing it again. It took only a couple of seconds to charge a spinner up significantly,8 enough to create an average fire blast.9 The spinner could produce any effect from extreme heat to a destructive nova blast, depending on how much it was charged.3 Vakama could not charge anything else with his blazer claws other than his own Rhotuka spinners.10, 11 The blazer claws themselves could also produce small, intense flames.5, 2, 3

Vakama's Kanoka launcher mutated into the blazer claws when he was mutated into a Toa Hordika. When Keetongu cured Vakama, the blazer claws turned back into his Kanoka launcher.CN

Notes

  • The small flames emitted by the blazer claws have been described as what Vakama used to recharge his fire spinners.2
