Basically yeah! Though it should be noted that Teridax used the Vahki for far more sinister purposes when he impersonated Dume. He used Dume's authority to command them to do things they weren't originally intended to do.
My friend told me that the Vahki and metru Nui where the first example growing up of corrupt politicians and police who enforce their will of enacting violence upon the citizens and are the reason why she started down the pathway to police abolition as an adult
@@austingray6885 Did you know that fiction has the capability to make us think about things in ways we never had before? Also like she wasn't an elementary school student yelling about police abolition. It literally was just, "Huh when the police are working for bad reasons and abusing their power bad things can happen.
@@OPTIMUSL1METhis isn't me defending corrupt cops, but completely getting rid of the police force isn't the answer. The system needs to be cleaned up of people who abuse their power, but more funding needs to go to things like mental health professionals who can be called as easily as police currently can be. Don't destroy the system, just improve it.
Glad you enjoyed! Some Vahki did stick around for a bit but they couldn't function as they once did without their hives in working order and eventually were destroyed. They reappear in the 'Dark Mirror' alternate timeline story though as guards/law enforcers.
The Vahki are one of those concepts you don’t really appreciate until you’re much older. The idea that the Matoran would build such an oppressive form of law enforcement to police themselves (who are literally programmed to enjoy the hunt) is really creepy to think about, especially in our modern world where police brutality has become such a prevalent issue. I know in the actual lore it was Dume who commissioned their creation but in my head canon it was actually Teridax who masterminded it.
@@ClownCollegeReject I doubt it. The Bohrok had greater capabilities, and many of the Vahki's abilities were intended for use on Matoran and it's doubtful they would be effective against Bohrok. I think the Visorak vs the Bohrok would be a more interesting match-up and on some kind of parity.
Amoral is probably more likely. They were purely mechanical and the only moral compass they followed was the one of whoever programmed/controlled them. That's why they did evil things when Teridax took them over 🙂

Vakama pulled a Lewa- “Haha! Makes glass!”
The soulless robot terminator spiders in the matoran universe.
"Surrender or Run"
Basically bionicle's version of the gestapo police

Influenced into activism by a piece of fiction? The jokes just write themselves 😂

Abolishing the police is a really good idea

@@NLoett The whole foundation is built on strikebreakers and slave catchers. Tear it up by the roots and replace it with something new.
Thank you that was quite awesome , I wonder If their are stray vahki out their still just trying to do their job.

There online animations were badass.
Good thing 8 years old me totally missed how fucked up the Vahki really were back in the day
I was 8 then as well, haha yeah they were pretty dystopian thinking about it 🤔
@@DaBIONICLEFan i was about 14 i kinda understood
so the vorzakh and keerakh effects were permanent?
No, all the Vahki stun staff effects were temporary
Love it
Thank you!
We need a #BionicleCinematicUniverse
Could the Vahki have defeated tho Borok?

The Vahki are evil.

No, they're evil. Just like "social credit" systems coupled with forced adoption of "digital currency."
