1WOAH . . Big info here.
2Hey Greg, just an idea. 3Did the Avohkah mutate the Mistika Makuta? 4:t::a::k::a:

5No, there haven't been Avohkah in Karda Nui in tens of thousands of years.


6This means that the Avohkah are in a flashback . . . 7:t::a::k::a:
#2362
1I would assume
2something to do with the energy spikes way back when, as mentioned in Bionicle Legends#9
#2363
1I could be interpreting it wrong, but it could mean that they're just not there now, just will be later... :shrugs:
#2364
1Or there's a short Toa Mata flashback, and the Avohka were around then.

1I've discovered the name of Miserex's island . . .
2Hi Greg
3Some questions: 41- Since the Miserix model doesn't wear an plastic mask you could give him every mask you want, correct? 51b- Did you ever considered to give him the Artidax, the Mask of Mutation?
62- What powers did the Artidax orginally had? Mutating somebody in whatever you want?
7All for now


81) Artidax is no longer a mask in story, so not an option. Artidax is being used as the name of his island.

9:happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
#2369
1The island of Artidax .
#2370
1Wow . Who would have suspected that? Well, why waste a name that cost so much?
#2371
1Nothing special,
2Hi Greg
3Some more questions, hope you don't mind
41) Is the sundial part of the message that takanuva was assigned to take to karda nui?
52) Does the sundial that takanuva carries specify the time at which mata nui needs to be awakened?
63) Do the markings on the sundial have anything to do with the keystones in karda nui?
74) When/If mata nui awakes, does it affect everything in the core at that moment?
85) If the great beings somehow knew about the current situation in the matroan universe, could they fix it ?
9Thanks again.

101) No 112) No 123) No 134) Yes 145) Yes
#2372
1Sweet . . Artidax is where Botar is from . . Someone should add that to BS01. 2Aaaannnddd, some more info.
3Hey Greg, just an idea.
4Did the Avohkah mutate the Mistika Makuta?


5No, there haven't been Avohkah in Karda Nui in tens of thousands of years



6So it is in a flashback? 7And is it the Brickmaster thing?
8New ones: 91) Did Tahu and Kopaka save Miserix's life with the volcanoes? 102) Is Mazeka in the online serial or the blog?
11Thanks for now.
12:t::a::k::a:


131) Yes 142) No. BM model is in current storyline, not flashback 151) Temporarily, yes 162) I haven't decided yet

1Sweet . . Artidax is where Botar is from . . Someone should add that to BS01.

2:t::a::k::a:


3Artidax is the island where Miserix is held prisoner 4Not Botar's homeland
#2374
1They are the same place. Botar is from the southern islands.
2:t::a::k::a:
#2375
1Artidax refers to the island Miserix is on. Not the whole chain. At least thats what I understand.

#2376
1Artidax . cool name for an island. someone ask greg about the botar thing.

1got some replies today,one I consider interesting in bold.


2Re:2.Is the Order of Mata Nui leader currently on Daxia? 3Re:4.Is the podcast where Axonn gets a visitor,or the one where Teridax currently is? 44a.Are they the same serial?
51.Does Brutaka's destiny involve getting killed? 61a.Lesovikk's? 71b.Is Brutaka's destiny going to get revealed in FOF? 81c.How about Lesovikk's in DM? 92.Who turned Vultraz into a shadow matoran? 103.When is the first appearance of the T vehicles? 114.What mask did Naho wear? 125.Will there be web serials next year? 136.Does Takanuva get his Midak Skyblaster in the Coliseum? 147.When does Spiriah get his Tridax pod?Before,during,or after FOF? 158.May I have a Bitil quote? 169.Was Bitil's name derived from beetle? 179a.Gorast's from gore? 189b.Krika's from cricket? 1910.Can Krika repel attacks with his mask power?
20Have another nice day, 21mistika gorast.

222) No 234) It's too early to discuss this, it's summer story 241) Why would I want to reveal characters' destinies to you? That's the same as revealing future story. 252) Too early to discuss 263) Fall 274) Hasn't been revealed 285) I hope so 296) Wait and see 307) We'll see 318) I don't have time to go quote searching 329) No -- why would base a character's name on "gore" when there is no gore in BIONICLE? That would be silly. 3310) Again, summer story, so wait for summer
#2378
1QUOTE 21) Don't you think that its ironic that even in the most advanced cities from metru nui to artahka, everyone still use stone tablets instead of paper?
32) can sentrakh talk? the reason I ask is because in bionicle adventures #10, time trap, sentrakh did'nt say a word. 42a)what about voporak?
53) would you say these translations are accurate? 6-muaka=cat, tiger 7-kane-ra=bull 8-kopen=wasp 9-jaga=scorpian 10-rama=fly
114) do the mana-ko(sp?) have any relation with the element of ice?
125) do any of the following names/terms mean anything in the matoran language? 13-odina 14-artahka 15-karzanhi 16-zakaz 17-daxia 18-destral 19-xia
206) i have noticed that many of the features on mata nui (island) were named after characters/beings of the past(e.g. mt. ihu=ihu the scholar, naho bay= toa naho, etc.). while looking through my bionicle encyclopedia, i noticed that there was a canyon dubbed ''tiro canyon''. i was wondering, who, or what, is tiro?
21thank for taking the time out of your day to answer questions like these. kutgw

221) No. I think it simply means that trees made of protodermis cannot be used for paper the way ours can. 232) I believe they are both capable of speech, yes 243) Yes 254) No 265) No meanings have been assigned to them 276) Actually, it's sort of the other way around -- we are naming characters after the geographic features, and we may not use all the Mata Nui place names for that purpose, only as we need to. So don't assume every name refers to a character.

28this is some interesting information on matoran to english translations.

11) Does the sundial measure how much light or darkness is left in Takanuva? 21a) If not, does it measure the light in the UC?


3No and no.

4Okay, one last guess: Does it tell how much time is left in the Ignika countdown? 5If so, is info about the Ignika countdown the message Takanuva is going to give to the Toa Nuva?


6No, his message has nothing to do with the Ignika at all.

1Heres some info for anyone that wanted to work with the story team
2Hey Greg its UYI again. I just have one question for you this time but this is more about work then bionicle.
3Im a junior in highschool right now so everyone is thinking what they are going to do when they grow up and i was just wondering what it takes to be on the story team. I think just being able to sit down with a couple of people and being able to make up a huge story like bionicle would be a fun job to have. I know you worked on the comic and magazine before but what about the other people how did lego choose who would be on team

4Hi UYI,
5There actually is no "BIONICLE story team" job -- everyone on the team has other main jobs, and the story team is something extra. The story teams are the BIONICLE.com web producer, the franchise manager, the lead set designer, myself, and two of the people from our creative agency in Copenhagen.
6Greg

7I always thought it was you and acouple other people all meet together and made up what would happen for the next couple years but that makes more sence for all the different groups get together instead. I'm guessing you and the creative agency make up the basic story outline and the set desginers make the sets based on that outline and then you work the sets into the story

8Actually, everyone on the team contributes to the story -- we all do meet as a team, but only two, maybe three times a year at most. Once we have a bare bones outline, the set designers do their work, and then we create the characters based on the sets.

9This is kinda off topic i think lol im not sure but i just PM Greg this stuff yesterday and i dont want to send him more PM with questions because i bet he is busy so do yall know the answer to any of these questions 101) If it has taken the Toa Nuva a year to master there elemental powers how long does it take the average toa to master theres?
112) Is the reason the six rahkshi the toa nuva fought was so hard to defeat because in a way there powers messed with unity duty and destiny? (not counting the toa's problems with team work)
123)Will the toa nuvas armor change back to the old toa nuva look with there old weapons if they were in there own envirment and if it does say Kopaka was in ko metru and then walked into ta metru would Kopaka armor change so it can adapt to extream heat or something like that?
#2386
1wait, what is this avohka we are jabbering about?
#2387
1STOP POSTING YOUR UNANSWERED GREGF QUESTIONS .
21. Does Toa Ignika want the Nuva to know he is the Kanohi Ignika? 32. Could a Toa put some of their elemental power in a Zamor Sphere? 43. When would a Turaga use their elemental power? 54a. Could six Turaga combine their power to make a miniature Toa seal? 64b. If not, why? 75. Can Jetrax serve as Antroz's 'eyes'? 86. Could there be a Mask of Healing? 97. Could Krahka copy a Makuta's power? 108. Could she just shapshift without copying a creature's power? 119. Could a Skadi use a Noble Mask? 1210. Could Tren Krom use a Noble or Great Mask? 1311. If Lewa got a Mask of Flight, would he replace his Miru with it? 1412. If Matoro could have said one last thing to the Toa Mahri before his death, what do you think it would have been? 1513. How exited are the Voya-Nui matoran that their friends are with them? 1614. Does Miserix have a grudge against Krika? 1715. If Tuyet didn't hold on to the Nui Stone, would she lose her new powers?
18-TN05


191) He never tells them directly, I assume he figures they would get it themselves 202) I tend to think not 213) Oh, they use it all the time -- for that 1000 years they were on Mata Nui with no Toa, they were using it to help protect their villages 224) No, not enough elemental power 235) Yes 246) It's possible, yes 257) No -- she collapsed trying to copy six powers at once, she could never do 42 268) No 279) No 2810) No. 2911) Irrelevant, since it's not going to happen 3012) No idea 3113) I am sure thrilled 3214) I would think he has a grudge against all the living BOM members, they all betrayed him 3315) No. Once she has tapped the stone, the power in it is hers, she doesn't have to hold it all the time.


34Interesting answers... Never knew the Turaga used their Elemental powers.

lhikan toa of fire

13) Since Garai means gravity and Ga means water, would a mask of water be called Ga? 23a) and a matoran of gravity an Garai-matoran (like in Ga-matoran)?

33) Not something I have bothered to determine, since neither has come into story

4Well, Ga is only a prefix, not the whole word, so a mask of water would be longer than Ga (but it would start with Ga). So I think Matoran of Gravity would be called Gar-Matoran, since Ga is taken.
Teridax-MoMN
5Well, we know that the current leader of the OoMN was one of the original leaders of the HoA, so the First Toa is out. (I think I'm just going to call her 'Ga', because it's the first toa, ergo a toa 'baby', and also a ToW) :D

6Well, we don't know if the HoA was created before the Toa. The First Toa could've been created before the creation of the HoA, and replaced the HoA afterwards.

101) Not going to answer this, you will find out the answer in Bionicle Legends #10

11So I think the OoMN leader is the first toa,


12I asked him the same question and I also believe the first Toa is the OoMN leader
13Somebody agrees

14But the Order doesn't accept Toa into the,um,Order.How can the first toa be the leader?


15He made it, he can bend the rules for krakua. Good job .

1Hi Greg, I have some questions about Ignika and a fact on the 2009 storyline :
21) Could the Ignika turn himself into a Makuta or another powerful being ? 31)a) If so, could he have access to the Element of Shadow and the 42 Kraata Powers if he became a Makuta, or simply would he have the powers of the being he would become ? 42) What would be the effects of a a Nova Blast of Life ? 53) Does the Ignika know that he can destroy the Universe ? 64) You said 2009 takes place outside of this Universe, right ? 74)a) If so, does it mean it takes place in another dimension/Universe ? Or simply it don't take place in the MATORAN Universe, so it don't take place in the Domes, but at the Planet Surface ? 84)B) If this is the first answer, could it be a pocket dimension like Dark Mirror, where the story take another way, or like the Zone of Darkness, where everything is different ? 95) A last question : after Takanuva's transformation, can he pass the archway in Karzahni ?
10Thanks.


111) No. 122) Most likely, things that are inanimate would come to life 133) No 144) Yes 154a-4b) I can't comment on this 165) No, he still has light power in him
#2395
11. Could the Onu-Matoran shown here possibly be Midak? 22. You have said that the Order has a spy in the DH. Have we heard of him before? 32a. Is it Shadow Stealer? 43. Is the Red Star on the BB map? 53a. Is the middle dot the Matoran Universe/Planet? 63b. Is the middle dot the red star?


71) Midak has never appeared anywhere 82) I haven't determined who it is yet, and won't unless I need to for story. 93) No, it is not.

101. Will we learn more of him? 113b. Is one of the U,D,D dots the Matoran universe/planet? 12New: 131. Is Botar from Artidax? 141a. Is this order right (North to south) 15Metru Nui 16Karzahni 17Islands 18The Pit 19Northern Continent(s) 20Southern continent 21Artidax 221b.And the Mainland is the Southern Continent, right? 232. When should FoF7 be out? 243. The OGD is debating on whether the First Toa leads the OOMN. He/She is NOT the 1st Toa, correct? 254. Do you know if the animations for summer are like the Barraki/Mahri videos, or like the Piraka Animations? 265. The mysterious voice that told matoro to put on the mask was the Ignika, right? 275a. Do we know of what told Lewa to bring the sundal to Metru Nui?


281) Probably not 293b) Not going to identify locations on the map 301) No 311a) Yes 321b) Correct 332) Well, it's written and in, just a question of when Bink can get it up 343) I am not going to comment on who the leader is, it gets revealed in Book 10 354) They should be like the B/M videos 365-5a) Hasn't been revealed

1Ah, I believe the same voice that spoke was the same that told Gali to look in the telescope and also the same that speaks to them in BL10.

1Ah, I believe the same voice that spoke was the same that told Gali to look in the telescope and also the same that speaks to them in BL10.

2Gali was not told to to look through the telescopre. The list the Nuva found in the Great Temple just demanded to look at the position of the Red Star.
#2400
1She wasn't told to use her akaku, but got a sudden 'urge' to use it.
2Which adds to the mystery of who's passing along instructions to the nuva.
