2Same thing for occupations.

3I think that would be a safe assumption with one caveat -- a lot of the occupations that existed on Metru Nui would not exist on Mata Nui (there was no mask making on Mata Nui for example), so it is unlikely they would have been doing all the same jobs they did before.

4Something I've always wondered; If there was no mask making on Mata Nui, what happened if a Matoran broke their mask?

5The Toa Metru brought a stockpile of  masks with them when they left the city.

2The Toa are bio-mechanical. They are  mechanical parts linked together by organic muscle tissue, and with some organic organs, like their lungs.

1Question about Tehutti's Mask...

 

2In diminished form, did Tehutti wear a Huna or a Kakama? I ran into this while changing all Matoran Kanohi from unknown, to whatever their Mata Nui Kanohi was... With this one, there is a Metru Nui Kanohi (Huna) and a rebuilt form Kanohi (Kakama), but no diminished... Which is it? BS01 says, "On Mata Nui, Tehutti was re-named Tehuti and given a replacement Kanohi Kakama. He worked in the Great Mine in Onu-Wahi as a Miner. He temporarily vacated Onu-Koro with the other Matoran when the Bohrok attacked. Tehutti was rebuilt after the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal. He was evacuated from Onu-Koro with the other Matoran during the Rahkshi attack." but I don't know what the source is... Can you shed some light?

3No, it's not something I remember. Even at the time, I really  paid no attention to what masks Matoran were wearing.

1Well, they found the "cursed" one, but they hadn ot been sent by Mata Nui.

91) I see them as having fuller bodies than that, but that's just me. I have no idea what the set designers would say, and they would know best.

102) Why do you assume the majority of GBs would have been on the Bara Magna portion of the planet when it split?

 

113a) No

123b) Yes

134) Organic muscle? I think it would have to be, to hold the mechanical pieces together

145) Yes

22. Why did the Mask of Malice (from Ninjago: Stone Cold) reveal who was the one that freed him and the others to Sensei Wu? Was he unwilling to be Garmadon's pawn, or did he just do it for laughs?
33. Who was your favorite barraki?
44. What will happen with the Baterra? Will they continue attacking the new Matoran/Agori settlements? Will the Skrall ally with the good guys to get revenge on the machines? And do you think Metus will try to weasel his way into the new society with his knowledge about the Baterra, or will Tuma, Stronius, Branar, and any other skrall beat him to that offer?
55. Why did you scrap the plans to make a Shadow Toa Ahkmou?

6Buried


71) Yes, and most of the occupants of the RS would have been still recovering to some extent or another.

82) The mask loves conflict - revealing the truth to Wu was a great way to spark that

93) Don't recall, too long ago

104) They will continue to function until someone shuts them off, which probably can't happen until the GBs are found.

115) I didn't. I had no say in what sets got made or didn't get made.

4So basically, Masks = Yes, Occupation = Depends?

5So if they were doing a job prior to rebuilding, but doing it on Mata Nui, would they still be doing it post-rebuilding? And vice-versa? But if they were doing it on Metru Nui, they wouldn't be doing it on Mata Nui? Or would they only be doing it if the same occupation exists on Mata Nui?

61) Yes

72) They could only do their Metru Nui job on Mata Nui if the job existed on Mata Nui. Once they went back to Metru Nui, they could go back to their old jobs.

1The Matoran prefixes for the six main elements (Ta- Ko- Ga- Le- Po- Onu-) are the beginning of the Toa Mata/Nuva's names. Were the prefixes named after them, or vice versa? And could we assume the other prefixes are named after important/famous toa of that element? Like a famous Toa of Iron with a name that started with Fe-? Or an important Toa of Gravity with a name that starts with Ba-?

2Thanks for doing this question-answering, and thanks for the awesomeness of Bionicle.

3Vice-versa.

2-So far, we know that there were 11 total: 2 water, 1 fire, 4 ice, 1 air, and 1 stone. Of the 6 primary elements, only earth isn't represented in that list... was there a toa of earth on the Mangai team? Assuming there was, that leaves one last unknown toa... what element was (s)he?

 

3Thanks again for answering our questions!

4buried.

 

57) Yes, and I have not determined what the last one was

6For the last one, a secondary Toa of Fire will be nice in my opinion. What do you think of it? 
7Personally, I think to a Toa of Fire with regard to the first threat that the Toa Mangai had to face : the Kanohi Dragon.8As four Toa of Ice were chosen to be part of the team for the efficacity of thier powers on the Rahi beast, the presence of two Toa of Fire would seem logical : they could manipulate or absorb in theory fire breaths of the Kanoh Dragon, and so avoid probably important damages.

9I repost this to put it in the same message. You haven't decide yet?

10Well, it seems like you guys want to have a debate over what the last Toa should be, so I see no reason to rush a decision. Might as well let you fight it out Smile

 

11Well, the 2 things that people seens to have come up with is:

121. Toa of Air, as it would "replace" Nidhiki after his betrayal.

13Or

142. Toa of Fir, that would, together with Lhikan manipulate/absorb the Kanohi Dragons fire breath.

 

15Maybe... "We" should make a poll? Smile

 

16Well, anyways, I got one question aswell.

 

17For Mr. Farshtey:

18Would the other Mangai be gold (as of the Toa Iruini set was gold) or was it only Lhikan? Nidhiki had silver amor after the mutation.

1To elaborate more on a previous question, are you either unfamiliar (and don't have the time to look up) with the promotional sets and don't feel like you could just give them a canonised role, or do you simply not want to canonise any outside of Gold Good Guy? Either way, could you at least say if there was anything canon/canonizable on the whole idea that Good Guy (6934), Kraatu (8026) and Bad Guy (6935/7217) were the Matoran's puppets? Did you ever say anything on that?

3I am not familiar with them, since they were not sets I had to put in story, and I am not interested in doing wholescale canonizations of promotional sets. I don't see what purpose it serves other than provoking more howls of protests from the existing fanbase.

 

1Well I personally think they have great potential in canonization, but I see your point. Thanks!

1Hello mr Greg 

 

21-On BS01 it was mentioned that before the shattering the people of SM were a very advanced civilization, but after this event they lost the ability to build new things. Is what the civilization of SM before the shattering was at a time futuristic and medieval like the city of Asgard of Marvel but without the gods and magic? I need this answer for my fanfiction about the GB.

 

32-Is what the GB have a machine to manipulate dark energy?

 

43-The GB have built prototypes of the Matoran? if so what they look like?

 

54-What type of science the GB do?

6-Science in medicine7-military Science8-Science in astronomy and biology9-Science occult and nature

 

10Is what the GB are experts in all types of science? if so to what point they are expert in these domains? sorry for this question I need this for my fanfiction...

 

115-The spirit's wish is the only device of teleportation that the GB have built?

12buried 

 

136-Why the inhabitants of the MU have some need that the organics beings need to live? As the need to breathe and eat and drink and sleep and finally the need for light and heat. I know they are biomechanical but you said that the inhabitants of MU are more mechanical than organic.
