1Nuju255, the Bahrag were not biological twins, they were the same species and they both lead the hordes together. Calling the Bahrag twins is just a nickname or something like that.
2-Lihyahm

1*wishes he could have joined in the Evolution VS Creation debate - for the Creationists*
2Anyway... 3THe Bahrag could also be called twins becasue they are both practically alike, thus they are 'twins'.
4TMD woz 'ere

1Okay, to settle this debate the Bionicle way:
2Reproduction is the basis for evolution. Sexual reproduction speeds up evolution greatly. There is no biological reproduction in Bionicle. Therefore there can be no evolution in the controversial sense. There can be changes over time the way the Wright brother's plane "evolved" into the 747, but nothing which would get the conservatives all itchy.
3Back to the matter at hand, people. Continue this via PM or, better yet, not at all.

1Could Vezok use his Impact Vision to smash through, say, a door?

2Yes

3I thought he might be able to do that.

1EVOLUTION:::: Nah, just kidding. New answer to a question that was bothering me:
2Can, let's say, a red Matoran (From Voya Nui) have Garan's body style? Or a blue Matoran have Kazi's body? I don't think that all brown ones are like Velika and so on, right?
3Given how they came to look the way they do, yes, your theory is quite plausible.
4He didn't deny it, but he kinda confirmed it. Now, let's MOC your Voyatoran versions of yourselves in your favorite style: GO: 5Khote

1I sent a message to Greg, it was about the goup of Matoran who knew the Great Disk locations. The question:
2I have a question about the group of Matoran from 2004: Nuhrii, Ahkmou and the rest. What exactly happened to them? I read in two of the books you wrote. The Metru Nui Guide says they all disappeared, while the Encyclopedia says they were awoken on Mata Nui and became normal citizens. I'm confused. Could you please tell me what happened to them?
3The answer from Greg:

4Sure, DN.
5After those Matoran helped out the Toa Metru against the Morbuzakh, they basically went their separate ways, got captured by the Vahki, and stuck into spheres like all the rest of the Matoran. They were rescued along with all the other Matoran by the Toa Hordika and transported to Mata Nui, where they were awakened and became part of Matoran society.
6The only exception was Ahkmou. Ahkmou's sphere was lost on the way to Mata Nui, and he was rescued by Makuta, who later sent him to Mata Nui to basically be a spy for him.
7So, that's it:

1Are they going to be leaders in voya-nui?(turaga.etc.) 22.how exactly did the chroniclers of mata-nui became toa



3SLASH

1Is it possible for this to happen? 2Zaktan is trapped by some especially runny quicksand by Reidak. Reidak throws a big rock at Zaktan, forcing him into protodite-mode. All the protodites quickly slide between the grains of quicksand, and Reidak solidifies it into earth. The protodites are trapped apart from eachother with the dirt between the individual parts. He's stuck there without air and the dirt is isolating the protodites so he can't reform, and he suffocates.

5Edit: Anways, lots of these questions help me a lot to see what's for the future in the Bionicle universe. I wish I was in on the Evolutionist vs. Creationist debate too, I love debating, it's an excuse to argue....

1Take a look at this set of 10:
21. What's the "Strobe Light"? If you can't answer it, then is it a playset or another Technic scale set?
3A: As I said in my "2006 Summer Sets" topic, I have no idea what this is. It may exist as a set, but if it does, it's news to me.
42. Is Vezon and Fenrakk like Lhikan and Kikanalo? Sort of a Toa on a steed...
5A: Not discussing summer sets. No one needs to know this info six months ahead of time.
63. Is the ancient evil set to be released or not? Last year you said it would be...
7A: No, I never said that. If the ancient evil is unleashed in 2006, then the BIONICLE universe is over and a set would be sort of pointless.
84. How come retrieving the MoLi causes the ancient evil to be unleashed?
9A: Follow the story and find out
105. Is the island that Voya Nui broke off from gonna be explained this year? Or throughout the 3-year story arc? Wouldn't it be a flashback that way?
11A: It will be explained as part of the three-year arc
126. What does "come lightning and thunder" of the poem/riddle signify?
13A: I didn't write the poem and have no idea what the author had in mind. It was written in Denmark
147. Does Jaller meet Karzahni on Metru Nui or Voya Nui?
15A: Neither
168. In Time Trap, why does Krakua even talk to Vakama? My theory is, that if Krakua is already existing in his time, why talk to Vakama?
17A: Who said he was already existing in Vakama's time? Both the krana/kraata hybried and Vakama's power allows visions of the future.
18I actually meant Krakua's time, not Vakama's...
199. Do you have any plans for storyline beyond 2008? Or do you still haven't had any ideas yet?
20A: We have rough outline for 2006-2008 done already, we did that in 2004.
2110. Is 2006 gonna have a "secret"? Like in the past years we've had:

• 222001: Makuta's fate
• 232002: The Toa's transformation
• 242003: Takanuva's identity
• 252004: Dume's identiy
• 262005: The unexpected enemy's identity
• 272006: ???

28In other words, is there gonna be a SHOCKING TWIST at this year's end that counts as a secret?
29A: You would have to follow the story and tell me
30Jabbadeep

1QUOTE 21. Are the Doomtoran Karzahni escapees?
32. I know you can't discuss summer sets yet, but can you please tell me if the Toa actually have "laser" in their Toa tool names?


41) No, they did not escape from Karzahni's realm 52) I cannot discuss summer sets, and I strongly advise against paying any attention to the info from Amazon.de. A lot of it is wrong and what was at one time right is now outdated in many cases.

1I don't see why evolution would be controversial. There is religion in BIONICLE, after all -- the Matoran worship Mata Nui, right? Then, we have the point that BIONIWorld is another dimension/reality/whatever; everything that happens there doesn't have any relation with our Earth. Again, why evolution would be something controversial?

2No, there is no religion in Bionicle. Greg has said that himself. And as for why evolution would be contreversial, people like me and millions of others do NOT believe in evolution, so to have it in Bionicle would be a very bad idea. 3In case you haven't noticed(<<<not meant to be sarcastic or rude), there is a massive debate between Creationists like me and Evolutionists, so to have evolution in Bionicle would probably end up having Lego sued. 4With that out of the way,
5That's odd that Greg hasn't heard of the strobe light. Yet, it was on Brickshelf, and it was on the German Amazon, I'm pretty sure, as I'm sure I saw "light" somewhere on one of the products(no pic). Then again, "Strobe Light" doesn't sound like anything that would be in Bionicle. 6Nice answers Jabbadeep, I bet from what you said about a "flashback" for how Voya Nui got there, and Greg's answer("follow the story and find out") probably mean that there will be a flashback for one of the years.

17. Does Jaller meet Karzahni on Metru Nui or Voya Nui?
2A: Neither

3Jaller meets Karzahni (the being) in, yes, Karzahni (the place). We don't know where it is located, but we know that Jaller is going to Karzahni's lair.

4If there's creation in BIONICLE, why can't there be evolution? I mean, the Matoran got CREATED, right? Also, I don't believe that Mata Nui exists and I'm not against LEGO (-yet ). You don't believe that the BIOUniverse exists, and if there appeared the Topic of evolution, why would it matter? 5Khote

2But, ET, isn't this Topic called Official Greg Discussion ? We're discussing an answer from Greg, of why Evolution wouldn't be in BIONICLE, so I don't see anything wrong here, unless the Topic's name isn't what it's suppossed to be. 3Khote

4Yes, discussion can go on within this topic of the answers and questions, but not whenever the discussion becomes debate over something very similar to a religious debate, which is not allowed.

1But religion is basically illegal on BZP.

21. What's the "Strobe Light"?

3i have a feeling strobe light is the thing that transforms jaller and co. into toa.its probably a playset.

lava master Jan 21, 2006, 4:37 PM

1 whos krakua and whos karzahni???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

2Lava Master, I can see you're new, but please don't double post. In fact, this isn't quite the right topic to post in. In this topic, you PM Greg and post his answers. But to answer your question, Krakua is a Toa of Sonics who Vakama saw in a vision (Krakua was the winning model of a Toa contest Lego had, and was thus entered into BA 10). And Karzahni is a twisted ancient being who, in the time BEFORE Mata Nui, took away bad Matoran workers to his realm of screaming rocks and whatnot.
3ON TOPIC: I think that's an interesting idea about the strobelight, really.

1Wow, This topic has been going nonstop since 2003: I used to follow this all the time, but had to stop for a while due to religeous reasons. I've always wanted to post here, and now, I have: About the Strobe light: Let's see if I can find the post...Ah, here we are;

likhanTalkback: Toa 'Igniters' For Preorder at Toywiz, Jan 20, 2006, 1:48 PM

2Has anyone ever thought of taking a strobe light and putting it up to a zamor sphere and see what happens.I have and the effect is very interesting.I think the (strobe light)set is for the zamor spheres and these toa igniters include strobe lights.

3And in case you don't know what a Stobe Light is, look it up in a dictionary.

7Doesn't mean that they couldn't recieve false information. We don't really know what their source is, do we? And judging on how The Farshinator himself has never heard of the thing, I think it's a pretty good chance it has no real relevance.

1We don't really know what their source is, do we?

2Yes we do. I've been trying to spread the word - I contacted Brickset, and they told me that they had found all the sets in a retailers catalogue. There were no pictures, just the names. So they're all real. The Strobe Light is just that - a light. Like a torch. Just search for it on Google.
3Besides, Greg works on the storyline, not the sets.

1Hey Greg.
21) We know Voya Nui broke off the Bionicle mainland, and that the Matoran we know have never met a Toa. Now, Matoran live for tens of thousands of years- how is it that the Matoran never met or saw a Toa when they were living on the main land for a somewhat long period of time? Are there Toa on the mainland of Bionicle?
32) Could you confirm what the news article said, about Karzahni giving the Matoran their tools? Will we learn this in Dark Destiny?

41) Not on that particular continent, no. 52) Yes and yes

61) In response to this question- why do Toa come into existance? Who, or what, governs the decision to make a Matoran into a Toa? And why do some Islands, such as Metru-Nui, go through three generations of Toa when this Bionicle continent has gone through none?

71) Basically, Toa go where they are needed. For example, at the time of the Toa-Dark Hunter war, there were over 300 Toa on Metru Nui. By the time of the years immediately before LOMN, there were maybe a dozen, the others having gone where their services were required more urgently. Places like Metru Nui are strategically vital and tempting targets -- the original Voya Nui continent, on the other hand, was not a place anyone had a vested interest in attacking and was well defended without Toa being present.
8What governs the decision to turn a Matoran into Toa is that Matoran's destiny, pure and simple.

5But he needs to know all the sets coming, including potential playsets, so that he can work them into the story. If this Strobelight was a playset he would know about it. He has confirmed he has never heard of it. 6I'm not sure I get what your point about the Strobelight being a light is. I know what it is. I don't see why a flashing light, or a torch for that matter, would have anything to do with a Lego set.

1Dear Greg, 2Could You Please Answer Some Qusestions:
31. In The Storyline Could The Piraka, Take Off There Spines, Like Set Wise? 42. Why Do Some Piraka Have Clawed Feet Amd Others Webbed? 53. Could The Piraka Loot The Toa Nuva Of There Armor? (Or Is It Suck On Them Pretty Tight?) 64. Can The Piraka Use Kanohi? 7Thank You, ~BB~

81) Probably, though I am not sure why they ever would 92) Set differentiation 103) Yes, but they would most likely do it to sell it 114) They could if they wanted to and if they had the mental discipline to do so -- the latter is the primary problem

12A Recent PM WIth Greg, The Nuva Amor Part Quite Interesting.

1[QUOTEWell, they can take the armor off of the Nuva, just like how they can take my head off of my shoulders. But can they actually take it off just like how we take off an armor in our world? I always thought that it was part of their bodies. A very hard part of their bodies. 2Khote

1Here are some Qs. Comments in italics.
2Hi Greg. Got some questions for ya.
31) You recently stated that the Piraka, if they had the mental discpline to do so, could use Kanohi. But I thought only Toa/Turaga could use Kanohi. Does this mean that anyone with the mental discpline to do so could use Kanohi?
41) Yes, the same way that anyone with the mental discipline and training could be a martial arts master. But look at how few martial arts masters there are in the world. Just because everyone COULD learn something doesn't everyone, or even most beings, ever will.
5Wow, very interesting. So Toa just naturally have the discpline to use Kanohi? I'll have to get back to him on that.
62) You also said that the Piraka could loot the Nuva's armor and they would probably sell it. But I thought the armor was just a very hard part of the Nuva 's bodies. So is the armor armor that you can take off, or acutally part of their bodies?
72) No, armor can be removed.
8Oh, I see.
93) do you have any idea if you'll do a signing or something in California soon?
103) I will be signing at San Diego Comic-Con this July.
11*sigh* San Diego...just close enough to where I live to be tempting, but too far away for a trip to be feasible.
12And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
