8540 Vakama is a BIONICLE set released in 2001 based on the character Turaga Vakama. He is coloured red and orange and carries a staff. The set is identical to 1417 Vakama, but with different packaging. Pushing the lever on his back will cause his arm to move.

Background Edit

Turaga Vakama started his life as a Matoran, until he was given a Toa Stone, and was then changed into a legendary Toa. He later sacrificed his Toa powers to help revive all the Matoran of Metru Nui, who now lived on the island of Mata Nui, with their memory erased. Vakama then became a Turaga, one of the six wise elders and leaders of Mata Nui. After the Matoran and the island's Toa defeated Makuta Teridax, the six Turaga revealed to the Matoran about their past island, Metru Nui, and together, the Toa, the Matoran, and the Turaga returned to Metru-Nui, where they truly belonged.

Physical Appearance Edit

Basic Edit

8540 Vakama resembles a small figure, with two arms, two legs, and a head. One arm is holding a staff. A mask is placed in his face area, like all other BIONICLE figures.

Parts Edit

Two black Part 32140s, black Part 32136, black Part 2780s, black Part 32140s, and black Part x88s are present in the body. Orange Part 32013s, orange Part 32015s, black Part 4519, orange Part 32039 and old grey Part 3749. His head is comprised of a red Part 32553, with a red Part 32573 attached. A red Part 32554 is hosted in back of the head. He holds a red Part x439. His two legs are two red Part 32553s.

Video Game Information Edit

In the Mata Nui Online Game, Vakama is the first Turaga you meet. He is not the first character however, because after you enter the charred forest you can find a Matoran, and to enter Ta-Koro you also meet more Matoran.

Notes Edit

This is the same set as 1417 Vakama.
