Antidermis Regeneration
In Legends of Metru Nui, Teridax pulls out this feat.
This is debatably a High regen feat, albeit only possible through absorption; even if his body is completely destroyed, Antidermis Teridax can absorb an enemy to create a new body when only his own energy remains. If not High, it's still a regen through absorption feat, which we treat as valid; in which case, what level of Regeneration is it?
Universal Toa Mind Resistance / Putting a number on Bionicle mindhax
Mindhax in Bionicle is primarily used by the Makuta through their Kraata powers. There are 6 different stages of Kraata power and Makuta have access to them at their highest stages. This is relevant, because of Stage 5 Kraata mindhax; it's powerful enough to affect entire villages at once. Now, these are villages on Mata Nui; Mata Nui's population of Matorans is in the thousands, divided across 6 villages. This makes a Stage 5 Kraata have mindhax at about at least 300 apiece.
Stage 5 Kraata can't affect Toa, however. But Stage 6 Kraata can, and every Rahkshi and Makuta's powers is at the level of a stage 6 Kraata. This means that all Toa have some base level of mindhax resistance, while Makuta and Rahkshi have mindhax even stronger than this. Takadox can also control Toa; in turn, Teridax resists his hypnosis, and the Order of Mata Nui members resists both. It's worth noting that Takadox can also hypnotize his armies into absolute obedience (the full Barraki force likely being somewhat comparable to the full Brotherhood of Makuta force, which was tens of thousands strong), and that Orde, a Toa of Psionics, was able to affect the minds of the entire Zyglak race; hundreds is a bit of a lowball here, we're probably talking thousands here.
I'd prefer to have a non-wiki source, but the original source was a flash file and it is no longer operable.
A number of Kraata powers besides these are only able to affect Toa at stage 6, so they should get other resistances too. Namely Empathic Manipulation, Fear Manipulation, Poison Manipulation, and whatever it'd be to resist supernatural deafening (Sense Manipulation I guess), and maybe Statistics Reduction and Energy Drain.
EDIT: Teridax also controls hundreds of Rahkshi against Voporak in Time Trap, and when the Barraki's legions ambush Teridax in Downfall, he's outnumbered 100,000 to one; assuming they each have an even portion that's like 16,666 things under Takadox's control. However, they're not all intelligent animals.
Destruction of the Cord / Voya Nui's Journey
Voya Nui is connected to Mahri Nui by a long, winding stone passageway called the Cord. When it's destroyed (by the attacks of six Toa at once), Voya Nui floats out into the ocean and reunites with the Southern Continent, so the Cord anchors it down. Remember that the Matoran Universe, pictured here, is a bipedal robot; Voya Nui was positioned above the Southern Continent after the cataclysm, and after the destruction of the Cord, it drifts back down to the Southern Continent.

Said Cord is constricted earlier on by a massive, 300-foot long eel, so I guess that's the only reference for size we have? Even though the Cord's obviously way longer. I found a visual, too.

And a picture of Voya Nui with the Cord. And Mahri Nui.

The question here is how this would scale to the Toa; do they scale to the destruction of the Cord itself, or do they in some way scale to Voya Nui's entire little journey here, given that the Cord was what was holding it back?
Makuta Illusions
Which implies both a general Resistance to Illusions for Makuta, as well as a buff to base Teridax's illusions.
In Legends of Metru Nui, Teridax pulls out this feat.
Teridax abandons his old body and assumes his true form of Antidermis, which is pure energy. He then absorbs Nivawk, Nidhiki, and Krekka, and uses them (along with the remains of his old body) to create a new body.
This is debatably a High regen feat, albeit only possible through absorption; even if his body is completely destroyed, Antidermis Teridax can absorb an enemy to create a new body when only his own energy remains. If not High, it's still a regen through absorption feat, which we treat as valid; in which case, what level of Regeneration is it?

Makuta Illusions
While in the GSR, Teridax has this illusion feat of convincing Miserix he's just a two-dimensional picture on a wall, which also apparently just convinces Miserix he's dead. He's able to do this easily due to the power granted to him by the GSR, but his own narration explicitly states he could've done this beforehand, just that it'd be difficult and costly, and even harder to use it on another Makuta.
Which implies both a general Resistance to Illusions for Makuta, as well as a buff to base Teridax's illusions.
