1but greg has said that lessovikk was not the leader too. so the question comes in, which is the right answer. I believe that he was not, because when greg answered it the first time, back in 2007, when lessovikk was out there more, he had a better memory of him. but now, in 2008, remembering such little details is a bit harder, even for the creator to remember.


2Let somebody ask him again if you don't believe it

1Hi Greg. I'll be brief;
21. Does Takanuvas increase in size come with an increase in power, both physical and/or elemental? If so, would you say it is a significant boost, or only a minor change? 31a. Is it permanent, or only while he is in Karda Nui?
42. I hear the Hagah's spears have their own powers. Are these elemental in nature, so the Hagah do not need to use as much of their elemental energy (hence the names, i.e Seismic Spear, Cyclone Spear, etc)?
5Thanks.


61) Physical, yes, elemental no 71a) No one knows yet 82) Yes

#1886
1Hey Greg. I appreciate giving me feedback about my post in the FOF6 Talkback Topic. I have a few more personally questions though.
2Would Tren Krom, in a technical sense, be considered Mata Nui's older brother? This isn't really what he would be called, but it was just something that came across my mind. The downside to this theory is that would make Umbra, Artahka, and Karzahni relatives of TK and MN, and that would be weird. I can just imagine a family reunion, lol.
3Second, as I said in my post in the FOF6 Talkback, would you consider Tren Krom as the flip Mata Nui? As a twisted, disgusting alienated thing, but with near unlimited power? I thought I saw the comparison made clear in the mention of "two supremes" or something, and that caught my eye. Just a thought, wanted to see if it made sense with you. :)
4I think that's it for now. Thanks again. :)


51) I don't really see him that way, as you say, that might be pushing things a bit too far. 62) You could say that, except for the fact that you really don't know much about how Mata Nui looks, feels or acts, beyond the fact that he pays no attention to the nitty-gritty of his universe, so not sure how you can make a comparison yet.

1Ah well. I should of known. At least i tried.
2Hello, Mr. F. Great, great great job with FoF 6. Got some questions concerning something...
31) Do you or the LEGO Company know about these?
42) Did they get the LEGO Company's permision?
53) Do you think or know if LEGO will taken any action (That is if they didn't get LEGO's permision) 63a) If yes to above, then do you know what? 73c) Could you say what if you know?
84) Is LEGO concerned with these ripoffs?
9And, a FoF question:
105) Is Carapar truly dead, or did he dissapear or something?
11That's all for now. Thanks .


12Our Legal dept. handles things like this, I have nothing to do with it, so I have no info. I can tell you the answer to #2 would be no -- we don't give other toy conpanies permission to copy our products.
135) Truly dead.



14I'm guessing the first four questions were about the 2005 set knockoffs, right?
15-Draco

16Oops. the link isn't there anymore, but yes, they were the 2005 knockoffs.
#1889
1QUOTE 2Hi Greg I have some more questions but not to many,
31.Is Tren Krom more of an octopus? 42.Does he hate the Great beings and will he have another role after FOF6? 53.Does the Ignika have a soul inside the mask since it can think? 64.If vakama was able to see the BB's map from bird eye's view would he recognize it? 75.What does Bionicle mean to the matorans and all beings in the matoran universe? 86.Would you say the Barrakis are weak without an army on land, they need water tanks and if they crack they will die and they don't have elemental powers? 97.Is a Bohrok Kal of magnetism stronger or weaker than a stage 6 Rahksi of magnetism? 108.Would Teridax lose if he fought against Tren Krom and both can't escape until one dies?

111) He is a tentacled mass 122) No, he does not hate the Great Beings. 133) Ignika is sapient, but we do not know that he has a spirit as such, since he is an object. 144) A lot of BIONICLE characters would recognize it, many of them have seen that shape before. They wouldn't know it was a map or what it was a map to. 155) "Biological chronicle" 166) Some, like Carapar, are quite powerful in their own right, but if they were to make an attempt to reconquer, they would assemble armies first. 177) About the same 188) Moot point, since Teridax won't be fighting him
#1890
11. Between his defeat by the Toa Hagah and the Great Cataclysm, why did Teridax wait 300 years to absorb more mass and recover from the fight?
22. How long were the Toa Metru/Hordika toa?
33. Did other BoM members have their own Toa Hagah teams?
44. I don't quite understand how Lhiikan died. In the movie, it seemed as if Teridax grabbed his shield, and that was it.
55. Do you think we may see a Toa not of the 6 main elements or light play a significant role in the story in the forseeable future?
66. You said the Toa Ignika couldn't be a Turaga. Can't he just transform his body to look like a Turaga's just like he did to make himself a 'Toa'?
77. Did Teridax create the Nivawk?
88. Why did Teridax only use his Shadow Hand power against Vakama?
99. Can you confirm that these are the correct destinies for these people: 10Lhikan - Create the Toa Metru 11Toa Metru - Rescue the Matoran of Metru-Nui 12Toa Hagah - Steal the Avohkii 13Toa Mahri - Save Mata Nui's life
1410. Does the BB map correspond to a location in the Domed Universe?
1511. Why exactly did Takanuva change his name when he became a Toa?

161) He didn't need it, basically. He was planning to pose as Turaga Dume, so he had to be small in stature to start with. 172) Couple weeks 183) Yes 194) Teridax had sent a wave of shadow energy at Vakama. Vakama used the Mask of Time to slow it down, but couldn't handle the mask, so he slowed himself down too and couldn't dodge. Lhikan leapt between them so when time resumed its normal course, the shadow energy hit him and not Vakama, and he died. 205) Impossible to predict, because that is decided by the set designers and what color they make the models. 216) He could make himself, shorter, sure, but he won't really be a Turaga. Just a short Toa Ignika. 227) I don't recall it was ever stated that he had created the actual species 238) Because that was all the movie people wanted to show. Using lots of powers adds to the budget of the film. 249) Correct 2510) I can't answer this 2611) Because if we called him Toa Takua, everyone who went on IMDB before the movie came out would know who the Toa of Light was going to be and the movie would be ruined. As for in story, his heroes were the Toa Nuva, so he changed his name to honor them.

28) Yes

3Wait, what? I'm sure Greg has aid before that Lesovikk was NOT the leader of his team. Greg cited the serial when Lesovikk was having Karzahni's vision, and he was with his team, but wasn't calling the shots on what was going on, so he couldn't be the leader.

4Yeah but the leader would be most ashamed if his team died.


5Anybody on the team would be most ashamed if their team died.

7Yeah but the leader made the decisions and so feels responsible. like vakama in WoS

8but greg has said that lessovikk was not the leader too. so the question comes in, which is the right answer. I believe that he was not, because when greg answered it the first time, back in 2007, when lessovikk was out there more, he had a better memory of him. but now, in 2008, remembering such little details is a bit harder, even for the creator to remember.


9Let somebody ask him again if you don't believe it


10This is what I received from Greg Farsthey in early February.
111. Was Lesovikk the leader of the first Toa Team?
121) It hasn't been stated, but I tend to lean against it right now. If you recall, there is a scene in his flashback where the Toa of Lightning tells him the others are going to do something and he should come along. If he was team leader, it would seem that he would be telling them what to do rather than just being invited along.

13With this quote, I believe that Lesovikk is not the leader of the First Toa Team.
#1895
1The other Makuta had Toa guardians too? Interesting... I think I'll go pm greg and ask what happened to them... Maybe some of them are still around? 2:infected:
#1896
1Wait, but back then, Greg hadn't decided. Maybe now he's made up his mind... :shrugs:
#1897
1Hey Greg. I have some questions about sets, but there's only two LEGO employees who are currently BZP members that I could PM: You and Binky (possibly Swiftone?). I figured it was worth a shot to ask you.
21) In order, from best to worst, how well did the Barraki sell?
32) If a Toa Mata was made, piece for piece, and sold today, how much would it cost?
43) Any reason why the Av-Matoran/Shadow Matoran cost as much as a Toa Mata did in 2002?
54) Why do exclusive sets? While it would allow a great set (i.e.: Icarax, Karzanhi) to Toys 'R Us, why deny it to the much larger markets at Wal*Mart, Target, and beyond?
65) Where would I be most likely able to find Carapar (not on the Internet, but in like a store or something)?
76) At my local Rite-Aid, they had Kalmah and Takadox. After buying Kalmah, he was quickly replaced with another Takadox. Did Takadox sell very well?
87) I've heard rumors that some stores still get "new shipments" of sets from 3-4 years ago. Is Lego still shipping them?
98) Which set is the best-selling Bionicle set of all time? 108a) The worst?
119) Which sets do you personally own?

12And, something which is more your area, storyline questions (yay).
131) If Mata-Nui is a 10, Trenny Tren Tren is an 8, and a Toa Nuva is a 4, where is a Makuta? 141a) Could a large amount of Makuta (i.e.: an army of past Bitils) defeat Tren Krom?
152) If the Makuta's plan works, would Tren Krom take action? 162a) Would Tren Krom be around to take action if their plan works?
173) If Brutaka hunted down Teridax and absorbed him, would that be the end of our favorite meglomaniac? 183a) Do all members of Brutaka's species have this Makuta-absorbing power?
194) Has the 2009 location ever been mentioned in the story?
205) If Karzanhi got his sanity/mind back, would he be capable of escaping Daxia?
216) Destral can teleport anywhere. What's stopping it from popping up next to Daxia, or Artakha? 226a) Would the Makuta know it was Daxia/Artakha?
237) Did Krakua sabotage the Blade Burrowers to make the Unity, Duty, Destiny symbol? 247a) Considering that the Blade Burrowers were created by Mutran and sent to the Barraki, which part of the route would the BBs be tampered with? (when Mutran made them, when they were with the Barraki...?)
258) Was Mangaia always a part of the island of Mata-Nui (the area itself, without any of Makuta's inventions), or did Teridax make it for himself? 268a) Was the Unity, Duty, Destiny symbol that revived Takanuva already there, or did Teridax place it there? 278b) Was it Teridax who tampered with the Blade Burrowers?
289) In order for the Toa Nuva to awaken Mata-Nui, they cannot be... 299a) Dead? (not sure why I mentioned this, it seems obvious) 309b) Seperate? 319c) Infected? 329d) Drained of light? 339e) Injured (i.e.: Icarax uses the Rahkshi heat vision/laser vision power to melt part of Kopaka's arm)? 349f) Unwilling?
3510) Can anything else awaken Mata-Nui besides the Nuva? Like maybe Tren Krom using some of his universe controlling powers?
3611) How much of a setback was being crushed by a door to Teridax? Was it a 2001-ish setback, or like when the Toa Hagah defeated him? 3711a) His armor was still there in BL4, if it was repaired could he just get back in it? 3811b) How much of his armor is left to be repaired?
3912) Did Artakha put some kind of safeguards in the Makuta armor in case they went bad? (like it stops moving at his command, or it explodes, or a hole opens up and all the Makuta essence leaks out)
4013) Is Takanuva's current method of flight similar to Superman's from The Justice League?
4114) When the Bahrag recreate the Bohrok-Kal, will they be exact replicas of the Kal that the Toa Nuva defeated? 4214a) Will the new Kal remember the Toa Nuva? 4314b) Have any past Kal been defeated?
4415) How did FoF6 get online if Binky was away until the 31st?
4516) Could you explain how the following wars were/are fought (such as tactics)?
46Brotherhood vs League of 6 Kingdoms
47Toa-Dark Hunter
48Toa Empire vs Dark Hunters/Brotherhood
49OoMN vs BoM
50Matoran Civil War

5117) Does the rest of the Matoran universe know what happens when they stop working? 5217a) If they did, why didn't they send some Toa to Metru-Nui? 5317b) Were Vahki around during the Matoran Civil War?
5418) How many Maxilos robots are active?
5519) Is Xia the BoM's equivalent of Artakha (except Xia is the Wal*Mart of Bionicle and Artakha is a master craftsman) 5619a) Keeping this in mind, would an Exo-Toa stand a chance against a Maxilos robot?
5720) If Tuyet made several Toa Stones, would they be uber-Toa like her, or just normal Toa? 5820a) Could another Toa use the Nui Stone?
5921) Is this a correct summary of Teridax's sub-plan involving Takanuva?
601. Teridax uses the Staff of Artakha to re-create the Nui Stone. At the same time, Icarax takes the Mask of Shadows and infects Takanuva. 612. Takanuva becomes a Shadow Toa. He goes and joins the Brotherhood. 623. Teridax uses the Nui Stone to make Takanuva an extremely powerful Toa. 634. Takanuva is given the Mask of Shadows and set loose on whatever doesn't like the Brotherhood.
6421a) Did Teridax choose Takanuva out of spite?
6522) I can assume that Teridax played a game of Kohli against Takanuva since he knew he would lose? 6622a) If Teridax whipped out all 42 Kraata powers, would it be safe to assume a different outcome?
6723) Would the Hagah be more powerful than the Nuva, considering their training and experience?
6824) Will the following characters appear again in serials? 69a. Teridax? 70b. Lesovikk? 71c. Toa Hagah (present or alternate, or past)? 72d. Krahka? 73e. Toa Mahri? 74f. Barraki? 75g. Artakha? 76h. Hydraxon? 77i. Axonn? 78j. Keetongu? 79k. the Bahrag? 80l. Tren Krom? 81m. Toa GregF, Toa of Comic Writing? (part of my "Toa of Lego Employees" set idea for 2009, since Denmark isn't in the Matoran Universe. :P)
8225) It's safe to assume there will be serials in 2009?
8326) Since almost all of the characters we know are Biomechanical, could Icarax just crush everything in Karda-Nui like he did with Botar?
8427) Of the following Toa Teams, which has the best chance against Icarax? (since I know you don't like the amount of conditions I will give you a setting and a description: They are fighting on the barren island of Mata-Nui. The characters will be using their usual fighting styles and will be perfectly healthy. Icarax will be biomechanical. The teams will be fighting Icarax without the other teams. Icarax cannot call for assistance, and neither can the Toa.) 85a. Nuva 86b. Mahri 87c. Hagah 88d. Toa of Lego Employees ( :P)
8928) What is the most promising set idea (to you) that was scrapped?
9029) Have you prefered the storyline years with movies, or without movies?
9130) Was Bionicle actually planned to end in 2001? 9230a) Do you consider it ironic that it became a bestseller? 9330b) What do you believe gave Bionicle its recent surge in popularity: Movies, new set designs, new packaging, more aggressive marketing, or maybe just a demographic change?
9431) When you said that the Hagah defeated Teridax, did they: 95a. Puncture his armor? 96b. Put him in a state that he could not pursue them? 97c. Held him off long enough to get away?
9832) Can any of these kill a Makuta? 99a. Killed by a giant Rahi with large fangs? 100b. Stabbed with a Protosteel weapon? 101c. Hit with lazor vision, like Teridax? 102d. Old age? 103e. Tren Krom? 104f. Hit with a giant blast of light? 105g. Spontanious smiting by Mata-Nui? 106h. Being absorbed by Brutaka? 107i. Not being needed in the story? :P
10833) Did Botar ever teleport a Makuta to the pit?
10934) Could Tren Krom be upgraded to replace Mata-Nui?
11035) How exactly would the Great Beings find out something is wrong with their Universe? 11135a) Would they return to it? 11235b) If Tren Krom and Mata-Nui (woken up) decided they didn't like a Great Being (that was somehow in the domed universe), could they team up and defeat him? Or would they be overpowered?
11336) Judging by the fact that the Mahri are the only 07 Canisters left on S&H, they are in stock at almost every store I go to, and they are kind of old, would you say they didn't sell very well?
11437) Can/could Mata-Nui smite people when he was awake? (ex. Teridax is sitting around, doing whatever Makuta do in their spare time, and all of a sudden he catches on fire)
11538) Somewhere you mentioned the Great Beings decided not to extract Tren Krom from the domed universe. Why would they want to extract him? 11638a) To be used in a different Universe?
11739) When you said the Makuta contest winner was a girl, do you mean the person who made the winning Makuta, or the Makuta itself? 11839a) If it's the Makuta that's a girl, will there be a bit of editing to do with every scene involving Miserix, or will the identity of the Makuta winner just be changed?
11940) Were the original weapons of the Toa Nuva made of protosteel?
12041) Was the EP Pit in the Bahrag Lair designed as a trap or an upgrade to the Toa Mata?
121Sorry if this is a lot of questions, but I hope it isn't too much trouble to answer them.
122- Fresh Makuta


1231-2) I don't have this info -- neither would Bink, neither one of us works in manufacturing or sales 1243) Cost of plastic, for the most part. Compare oil prices in 2002 to oil prices today -- cost of oil affects costs of plastic, which impacts LEGO sets. For that matter, compare gasoline or grocery prices to 2002. 1254) We do store-exclusive sets because the stores request them -- it helps to drive traffic into their stores and so makes them happy. 1265-6) No idea. 1277) Those rumors are most likely inaccurate. 1288) No idea 1299) Too many to list
1301) Probably a 6. 1311a) Yes -- but all TK has to do is kill one past version of Bitil, or drive him mad, and present day Bitil is doomed. 1322) If the Plan works, it will be too late for TK to do anything, plus there is no evidence his power extends beyond his own island. 1333) Irrelevant, since it isn't going to happen 1343a) Yes 1354) No, it has not. 1365) I think it would be difficult, since his power works on the mind and OOMN members are mentally shielded. 1376) How about the fact that the Makuta have no idea where Artakha or Daxia are? 1387) No. Krakua has been a Toa for a matter of days. 1397a) Can't answer it 1408) Yes 1418a) Yes 1428b) No 1439) They all have to be alive, and I do not think they could do it if drained of light. 14410) No. It's their destiny 14511) It was a setback, certainly, in that it forced him to work through pawns like the Piraka 14611a) If it was repaired, yes, he could 14711b) It's pretty much shattered 14812) No 14913) In what way? 15014) Doubtful 15114a) No, because they won't have the same krana-kal 15214b) No 15315) I would assume he forwarded it to an assistant in Billund who posted it. We all check our email even when on holiday, we're too busy not to. 15416) I really don't have the time to do this. I am getting on an average of 7000-10,000 questions a month here right now, so I can't spend a lot of time on answers. 15517) We don't know that the same thing happens if Matoran somewhere else stop working, or that any ever have 15617a) How would they know what was going on in Metru Nui? They don't have CNN or the Internet. 15717b) Don't recall 15818) Probably about a dozen 15919) Xia is everyone's equivalent, since anyone can buy from them, not just the BOM 16019a) I never predict the outcome of battles, too many variables. 16120) Normal Toa 16220a) If they could get it away from her, yes 16321) It was never aimed at Takanuva. It was aimed at Ahkmou. 16422) No, he played a game of kolhii because that was all LEGO would allow the moviemakers to do. 16522a) See answer to #19a 16623) No. Nuva can share mask powers, Hagah cannot. 16724) I can't discuss future storyline plans 16825) I think so 16926) Yup 17027) See answer to #19a 17128) I am not aware of many that were not done, it's not my dept. That all gets done in Billund. 17229) Generally, without, because having to work around the movie stories is a lot of extra work. 17330) Yes 17430a) What's ironic about it? Most LEGO lines are planned to run for a year to two years. 17530b) It usually comes down to set design more than anything else. We haven't had a movie in three years, so I doubt it can be credited to them. 17631) All we have stated is defeated him. If we get into that in more depth in future, we will deal with it then. 17732) Don't have time for this one 17833) No 17934) There's no one who could do that, the GBs are not in this universe 18035) There is no way 18135a) Irrelevant, see answer to 35 18235b) Irrelevant, since none are here. 18336) The Mahri aren't old. The Mahri came out last summer. That's not even a year ago. If you see Phantoka on the shelves in October of this year, will you assume they must be bad sellers because they are still on shelves 10 months after they came out? 18437) Yes 18538) Because he was of no further use in this universe 18639) The person who made the model. The winning model is going to be Miserix, so not female. 18740) No 18841) No one knows, it's a mystery






18913) As in he just flies, without jets or wings or whatever else a Bionicle character might use.
19019) What I meant was if something from Xia will be of similar quality to something from Artakha (I personally doubt it, since Artakha has the mask of creation)
19121) Ahkmou .? Is this the explanation for Toa Ahkmou, the Shadow Toa we were going to have this year? 19221a) Do you know why it was cut out of the story?
19337) So, in Dreams of Destruction, when Teridax imagined Mata-Nui's revenge, it would probably be him getting smited (since Mata-Nui ignores most things so he wouldn't come down and obliterate Teridax himself)
19438) Could he have been used in another universe, or would the GBs just make a new Tren Krom?
19541) Do we know who put it in?


19613) Correct 19719) Probably not 19821) Yes 19921a) Because the plans for the set were dropped. 20022) Yes 20138) No evidence to suggest that the GBs have or have any interest in creating another universe like this one. 20241) Nope

18) Was Lesovikk the leader of his team?
28) Yes

3Wait, what? I'm sure Greg has aid before that Lesovikk was NOT the leader of his team. Greg cited the serial when Lesovikk was having Karzahni's vision, and he was with his team, but wasn't calling the shots on what was going on, so he couldn't be the leader.

4Yeah but the leader would be most ashamed if his team died.


5Anybody on the team would be most ashamed if their team died.
6-Draco

7Yeah but the leader made the decisions and so feels responsible. like vakama in WoS



Weon Saturn
Toa Keyl
8but greg has said that lessovikk was not the leader too. so the question comes in, which is the right answer. I believe that he was not, because when greg answered it the first time, back in 2007, when lessovikk was out there more, he had a better memory of him. but now, in 2008, remembering such little details is a bit harder, even for the creator to remember.


9Let somebody ask him again if you don't believe it


10This is what I received from Greg Farsthey in early February.
111. Was Lesovikk the leader of the first Toa Team?
121) It hasn't been stated, but I tend to lean against it right now. If you recall, there is a scene in his flashback where the Toa of Lightning tells him the others are going to do something and he should come along. If he was team leader, it would seem that he would be telling them what to do rather than just being invited along.

13With this quote, I believe that Lesovikk is not the leader of the First Toa Team.


14Well, if Greg said yes, obviously he had a change of heart. Remember, he had not made his mnid up when you PM'd him, so...

#1901
1well, those who make long ones, do those who read it a favor and put the answer below its question. makes things so much easier.
#1902
11) Do you have anything to do with the shapes of Bionicles? 21a) If so, what? 31b) If so, how? 42) Will the characters in the next universe ever know about the characters in these universe?

51) No, I am not a set designer 62) Can't discuss 2009
7Thanks. 8I have some more.
94) So their's two ways to wear the Kraahkan 104a) Is Kra- the prefix for shadow? 115) the three leaders of BoM names end with an -ix or -ax. Is this relevent? 126) What are the Mistika Makutas' masks' names and powers? 137) Can a Makuta, such as Bitil, could he morph to be a toa with the Mahiki and use the mask (not his own powers) 147a) With the shapeshifting ability of a Mahiki if someone was falling from a cliff. Could they shapeshift to something with a long arm and grab the ledge? 158) What does Kanoka, Rhotuka, Kanohi, and Tridax? 169) Are the Kanohi Nuve (2003) one of a kind masks?

174) In set, not in story 184a) Not officially, no. Since the shadow Matoran are not a tribe, I haven't bothered giving them a prefix. 195) There have only been two leaders of the BOM, Miserix and Teridax, and no, it's not relevant. We use "x's" a lot in our names because x is not used that often in a lot of other languages, so it makes it easier to clear the names through Legal. 206) Too early to discuss this, they're summer sets. It's March. 217) No. Shapeshifting does not allow you to change your mask power. 227a) If they knew of something with a long arm, yes. 238) I don't understand your question 249) In terms of being Nuva masks? No, because there were six of each mask on Mata Nui.
25Sorry about 8 it was a typo 268) What does Kanoka, Rhotuka, Kanohi, and Tridax mean?

27Kanoka means disk and Kanohi means mask. The others have not been assigned Matoran meanings, so far as I remember
28This was my first question and I didn't really know that much as I know today.
291: Why do the Matoran on Mata Nui have only the Turagas' masks and Toa Matas' masks instead of any others? 301) Because those were the masks the comic artists and animators had in plastic to work with when they created art.
312: Why do the Metruan Matoran have grey streaks on them? 322) It was something that was done to their masks so that anyone looking at a pile of masks would immediately know those were Matoran masks and so had no power.

333: Up to what year so far do you have the storyline covered? 343) 2011
354: Are there any other Piraka or Barraki? 364) Both the Piraka and Barraki come from larger species, but there are no other actual Piraka or Barraki, as those are group names, not species names.
375: Does Nocturn count as a Barraki? 385) No
396: Will you ever make a "Matoran Dictionary" so people could learn how to talk Bionicle? 406) Probably not
417: If Toa Lhikan has a Hau, how come he has a different mask as the set? 427) He was still wearing a Hau in his set. But his Hau was not made on Metru Nui or Artakha, so it's in a different style.
438: Do the Toa Hordika have one tool/weapon like in the movie or two? 448) They have what they had in the sets
45Last but not least,
469: In Mata Nui Online Game I what was the mask under the sundial for? 479) I didn't have anything to do with MNOG, it was before my time on BIONICLE, so I can't answer questions about it
48Thanks and don't worry I'll stick to Bionicles.

2315 this is a recomendation more than a custion you should name gakki spear tempestade spear just a leetle recomendation as i think the name sounds good
24answers
251) No, we don't change endings that much. Sometimes we reschedule parts of story, but we don't come up with alternate endings. 262) How would I? He's dead, so won't come up in story. 273) Not consciously, although I used to joke back in the early years that every BIONICLE year was based on a Shakespeare play 284) No, she passed out before she learned anything 295) Karda Nui's history. 306) I have not seen the set yet, so no 317) He transforms when he reaches Karda Nui 328) I can't answer this 339) I am sure there are 3410) No 3511) The Toa Nui is a legend. It has not existed in the universe and most likely never will. 3612) Same six elemental powers 3713) Unknown 3814) What he meant was, it would take several thousand years for the Matoran to wake up and leave their pods and begin worshipping Makuta. With the Vahi, he could have sped time up around the pods and it would have happened in a matter of days rather than millennia.

39*Looks at Greg with mouth hung open* Shakespeare? Blek . 40"Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,..." 41And there was no mistake in DM: Takanuva gets his lance before he gets big.

7Thanks.


8I think we can answer these ones by ourself:
91) Apparently Tren Krom became a legend for the Matoran, the place is named after it. 102) Artahka, Tren Krom and Karzahni were created by the Great Beings. Artahka and Karzahni stayed the same, Tren Krom was fused with one island. Krekka is an example of a gorilla-like specie, except that a Makuta costed him one eye. 113) In an unknown way, a Toa can trade six different Kanohi for one Golden Kanohi. Tha Toa Mata did. The same way, a Toa could trade three different Kanohi for one Silver, but it is unknown whether such a Kanohi ever existed. The Silver Kanohi also exists in sets.
12Notice that Rua http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Rua is not a silver Kanohi: the silver Kanohi can shift between three powers, the Rua has three powers at once.

1woah 2ahkmou was meant to be hit with the leech .


3I don't think. Greg said Teridax wanted to give Ahkmou the Nui Stone. Icarax's mission was to eliminate the BoM worst fear: a Toa of Light.
4Maye we should ask Greg if the "Ahkmiu become a Toa aof Shadow" plan involved the Nui Stone being rebuilt? Or was the plan cancelled after the chapter where Brutaka prevents the recreation was written?
#1913
1Ahkmou was meant to become a Toa of Shadow.
#1914
1Yes, but contrary to Takanuva, Ahkmou could have volunteered for it.
#1915
1Maybe,maybe not.
#1916
1Well Ahkmou had to become a Toa first to become a Toa of Shadow - and how would the BoM know whether ot not he really was destined to. So taking an already existing - relatively novice- Toa and try to drain his light was far easier.

2No, if a Shadow Matoran is destined to become a Toa, he can be turned into a Toa of Shadow.


3Yes but since the Makuta don't know about which Matoran has which destiny it is still easier to corrupt one Toa instead of making houndreds of Shadow Matoran and see whether or not one of them turns into a Toa.
#1920
1I THINK this is how things were supposed to work out.
2Into the darkness was originallly supposed to be 5 chapters. Possibly was when the plans for Ahkmou to be a toa of shadow were still on. The serial was probably just about Makuta getting the nui stone and rebuiliding it. So when the plans for the set got scrapped, Greg changed the serial.
3Plus i also think it's much easier using the leeches on toa instead of matoran. But they are mainly using them on the Av-matoran so there won't be any toa of light, not so they can get shadow toa.
