1^ Coment 21) Same reason Atlanteans can talk underwater in comic books -- artistic license. Also, if I remember correctly, there are fish who make sounds underwater, so why can't the Barraki? 3~~~Well they were mutated into fish-like beings. Anyway think how boring a comic would be with no words....
1Hi, Greg. I have some questions concerning 2007, plus a few about the previous years. First those that are not about this year:
21. Did all of the Toa Hagah come from the same land? 32. Last year, I read that five of the Piraka had the sense that Avak was onto something shifty, but they did not know what it was. What was he up to? 43. Since Takua was originally white and gold, being a Matoran of Light, did he always wear a Pakari before he was made to look like a Ta-Matoran? 54a. If Matoran were separated into different environments like those on Mata Nui, would one expect to find Matoran of "the Green" in jungles? 64b. What types of environments would one find Matoran of Sonics, Gravity, Plasma, and Magnetism if they were separated by environment? 75. Since the Rahaga's propellors are noncanon, are the search-lights on their heads in WoS canon? 86. Is there a storyline reason for why the Turaga of Mata Nui (former Toa Metru) are smaller in stature and have a different body shape than Dume? 97. Since Dume can repair structures with his Kiril but not heal living beings, is it possible that he could heal living beings when he was a Toa?
10And now, the 2007 questions:
118a. Since the Matoran of Mahri Nui apparently have a uniform body style, while those on Voya Nui do not, is the Mahri-toran body style a result of their mutation? 128b. Are the weapons used by the Mahri-toran a result of their mutation, or did Karzahni give them those weapons when he rebuilt them? 139. Is there a storyline reason for why Velika is brown like most Po-Matoran, and Dekar is yellow, since both were (initially) from the Mainland and Voya Nui? 1410. Since Brutaka has now mutated, has he mutated to look like a sea creature, or just to breath underwater? 1511a. Since Ehlek already had the ability to breathe underwater, does he still look anything like he did before his mutation? 1611b. Before being tampered with by the OoMN? 1711c. Did any members of Ehlek's species find about the OoMN when they were tampered with? 1812. Did any of the Mahri-toran we have seen in BL6 have particular friendships with any of the Matoran Resistance Team while on Voya Nui (ie. was Defilak best friends with Piruk or was Idris friends with Dalu)?
191) I would call it unlikely 202) As it turned out, they were being paranoid 213) I would say no. 224a) Probably 234b) No idea. This is something that's better for fans to debate. I don't worry about such things until I have to to for the story. 245) I don't think so 256) Nope 267) No. Kiril cannot do that, Great or otherwise. 278a) Yes 288b) Karzahni gave them to them 299) Ah, you forget, they didn't. The Matoran of Voya Nui were sent to Karzahni from different places, then all shipped back to Voya Nui. So they are not all from the same starting point. 3010) At this point, just to breathe underwater 3111a) No 3211b) No 3311c) No. 3412) It's possible, I haven't thought about it.
35My comments: 361. I remember in the animated comic on the WoS DVD, Kualus says the Visorak invaded his land, but did not say it was the home of all the Toa Hagah/Rahaga. 374. Maybe I should start a topic about this. 389. It makes sense that they are not from the same land, but I still don't get why Dekar is yellow.
39The Great Kiril can probably just repare bigger things and structures with less energy, like Nuju's mask. It could pick up biiiig things but when he became a turaga, all he could pick up were little stones.
40EDIT: oh and that world thats feeds the world thing. The mata HAVE been there, theoretically(i think thats the word0. Their canisters were launched from there, so that means they were there, cept they wer in the canisters. man this sounds confusing.....
11. Can Antidermis change colour? 21b. Can Antidermis change from a solid colour to a translucent color?
32. Can Antidermis change density (as a liquid)?(I mean density, NOT destiny)
43. Can it change viscosity (as a liquid)?
54. Why doesn't Makuta change part of his essence into a Kratta, change it into Rahkshi Armour, posses that armour and shapeshift into a different form?
65. What does Antidermis do to the Piraka?
76. What does it do to the Barraki?
87. Does Antidermis always enslave every species other than Brutaka and Toa Inika? 97b. If not, who else?
10Thanks in advance,
11BE
121) Probably 132-3) Would make sense 144) Well, first off, let's say he turns into a kraata. He's not REALLY a kraata, he just looks like one. So if he exposes himself to EP, he won't turn into Rahkshi armor, and if he's not destined to transform, the EP will destroy him. 155) It would do the same thing it does to the Matoran 166) Again, it would do the same thing it does to Matoran. 177) Yes
18Just random stuff.
19Comments: 201: I got this question by thinking about Milk. (I really have no life) 214: I actually think it would work, he could pull out Kratta in his armour form, so why not in his virus form? 225-7: Interesting... Why couldn't there be more immunities?
1Heres an update of some stuff I posted earlier.
25Brutaka Was in the Hand Of Artakha:::::::::
2hey Greg just have a few random questions.
31/ Apart from Axonn who else in the OOMN was in the Hand Of Artakha?
42/How powerful were the Barraki at their peak?
53/How did the Barraki convince people to join their armies?
64/Can you reveal anymore of Axonn and/or Brutaka's powers?
75/Can you give me any new info on Gadunka?
86/Will the Toa Nuva's new mission have a major impact on the storyline?
97/When will we see more Takanuva?
10Thanks Greg your awesome.
111) The majority of members were 122) Think Alexander the Great or Caesar 133) When you are a conqueror, you don't have to convince people - people want to be associated with a winner 144) Nope 155) No, I can't discuss summer sets 166) Yes 177) Don't know yet
181/Was Brutaka in the Hand Of Artakha?
192/Was Botar in the Hand Of Artakha?
203/Was the Jailer in the Hand Of Artakha?
21Thanks heaps:::
221) Yes 232) No 243) No
25Brutaka Was in the Hand Of Artakha:::::::::
1Sorry about the double post my computer stuffed up::::1
11. What do you like fans to refer to you as? Mr. F.? Greg? Dude? GregF? 2A. Greg is fine
32. Um, I used to think that you were like THE BIONICLE MAN, and you called ALL the shots, but now I no other wise (for example: You don't have much [if any control over sets). I'm trying to get a clearer picture of your level or position and this might help: Can you fire and/or hire anybody? 4A. The only direct report I have is the staff writer for LEGO Magazine, who is not involved in BIONICLE. My work on BIONICLE is outside the realm of my actual job, which is Editor in Chief for Community Education and Direct at LEGO.
53. I'm not sure if you have this info, but if so; Are box set sales going down? ('cause there was only four this 'season') 6A. I'm not sure where you are getting your info from -- in 2005, we had Roodaka, Keetongu, and Sidorak, plus store exclusives and play sets. In 2007, we have Hydraxon, Maxilos, and Gadunka, plus store exclusives and play sets. 73. By Box sets I meant Matoran and the like. 8A. Ah, I see. We wanted to see if their sales would go up if there were fewer of them. They are meant as impulse buys, so we don't count on them for a lot of revenue to start with.

4. 5Then, if it was a one-one with no strength just one power Makuta would win. 642 times. 7And then, we can do a one-one with no powers or strength, just their wit... guess who would win? 8With all these possibilities, the counter would be 43-1. 9But you can't make that kind of comparissons, since the characters stop being themselves when you take anything from them. Those are things inherent to the characters, and it's just silly to compare things that way.
1Well, Nocturn's only power is physical strength (and regeneration). Makuta's got a whole boatload of other tricks up his sleeve -- so if it were one-on-one, I'd give the battle to Makuta in a heartbeat.
2but if it was a one-one with no powers just strength Nocturn would win. i can't believe Nocturn is stronger. I guess this explains how he broke his island.

12LOL. Hapaka is some kind of dog built with Kohrak Va and Gahlok Va. The writer's name is Cathy Hapka. 13Khote
105. If you could, and you had the time, would you rewrite the books that Hapaka wrote? 11A. No. I see no reason to do so.
1Hapaka... Maybe I should actually make that a MOC...
1Oh. I never heard of that before...
1Jet, can you tell me about it? PM me if you must.
1I wonder if Greg was ever aware that the Hapaka model was meant to resemble an elephant .
1So Greg called something the wrong thing? Hehehehehehe:
1No, bionicle_fan_nuva made the mistake. No offense, b_f_n.
1Sorry about the Hapaka thing>_>
1Some questions answered by GregF:
21) If the Order was prepared for the Brotherhood treason, are they prepared for a possible Toa treason?
31) Good question. It may have crossed their mind, but I don't think they seriously believe large groups of Toa would go bad, more likely individuals who can easily be dealt with.
42) Was the Toa from the First Toa Team banished to the Pit?
52) No
63) Is Mata-Nui able to take a non-physical form?
73) Not that we are aware of, no
84) Are non-Toa beings that wear Masks (like Axonn) weakened when they're removed?
94) Yes
1No. Makuta caused it on Metru nui.
1I thought this was kind of interesting.
2Hi Greg, 3If a Toa Inika were to become a Turaga, would it still retain a bit of the lightning as well as the elemental powers? For instance a Turaga of fire could make a small flame, would a Turaga Inika's flame have a little static charge to it? I ask this because I asked you a question about a Turaga Nuva before, and you said he would still be able to share his mask powers, so are all Turaga, of any Toa type, just miniscule versions of their original power? 4Thanks
5Yup
1what is takadox
1like what type of animal
1just some info on the hydruka

94:what is it like to be hit by an solidified air bubble is it like just getting hit with an ordinary ball
105:can hydruka launch air bubbles repeatedly or do they have to wait awhile after each shot
11thanks
121) I don't have "how exactly" info, since I don't have to go into that in the story. 132) No. Hydruka would refuse to move. 143) Not that fast 154) It is not physically much of a sensation ... the sensation is when it turns to air and chokes you. 165) There is only a real short interval
17thanks for answering greg do you mind if i just ask these too
181:are all hydruka stubborn or can there be nice ones? 192:are they amphibious 203:what would their roars be like (eg:screech,hiss etc)
21thank you
221) Hydruka are a lot like mules, they tend to be stubborn by nature 232) No 243) No idea

1I was wondering, sometime back in 01, i think i read a post or something saying saomething accross that the Toa (i think you said something along that) and the other creatures,matoran, etc.: were "machines"but im having doubts about it because of Pridak having "red cells"(you know what i mean) on his face-i mean, how coould they both be machine and have red cells? Im kinda confused
2and btw, when i said "red cells"i just dont like the other word-it just creeps me out,but i think you know what im talking about when i say it
3Pridak does not have "red cells" on him. If you look at the model, the red is mixed with the white, it's part of his natural coloring, just as Carapar has black mixed with his yellow, etc. If what he had on him was "red cells," it would have come from some other source and be layered on TOP of his pieces, not mixed in as a part of them. So basically it's not what creeps you out.
4heres some info you might want to look at

1Just some more questions. 2Also i,ll use FTT as a shorter version of First Toa Team
31: Has the Toa from the FTT completed his Destiny? 42: How old is the Toa from the FTT? 53a: Was Jovon from the FTT? 63b: If so, does the FTT Toa know Jovon? 74: What color is the first Toa going to be? 85: How old is the first Toa? 96: Will either the FTT Toa or the first Toa have much storyline significance? 107: Any idea how much the FFT Toa will cost in stores?
11Thanks in advance.
121) I would say no 132) I'd have to check my timeline 143) No 153b) No 164-5) Are you talking first Toa ever or member of FTT? 176) The FTT Toa will 187) No
19Thats all interesting stuff.
1hi greg i have a few questions for you
2what has happened to the bohrok because i heared that the toas new mission is to 3release the bahrag and complete what the bohrok started
4also why did the bahrag call the toa "the brothers of the swarms " 5i must know 6
8i think it would be like this 9if you have legend of zelda twilight princess and you hear a twilit being or a redead scream that would be probably be what they were like 10..... 11but underwater

1so that means when nuparu becomes a turaga, he can fly. 2*imagines a turaga flying, then shudders*
3I always used to think Matau turaga could fly, anyway flying turaga are cool:
4I think that's a little spooky...
5Actcually turaga are miniscule versions of their toa forms. Like Lewa in a turaga form couldprobavly just hover really lightly above the ground. So nuparu could just levitate.
6Just some more questions. 7Also i,ll use FTT as a shorter version of First Toa Team
81: Has the Toa from the FTT completed his Destiny? 92: How old is the Toa from the FTT? 103a: Was Jovon from the FTT? 113b: If so, does the FTT Toa know Jovon? 124: What color is the first Toa going to be? 135: How old is the first Toa? 146: Will either the FTT Toa or the first Toa have much storyline significance? 157: Any idea how much the FFT Toa will cost in stores?
16Thanks in advance.
171) I would say no 182) I'd have to check my timeline 193) No 203b) No 214-5) Are you talking first Toa ever or member of FTT? 226) The FTT Toa will 237) No

25WOW: He stil l hasnt completed his destiny:
26I was wondering, sometime back in 01, i think i read a post or something saying saomething accross that the Toa (i think you said something along that) and the other creatures,matoran, etc.: were "machines"but im having doubts about it because of Pridak having "red cells"(you know what i mean) on his face-i mean, how coould they both be machine and have red cells?

29heres some info you might want to look at
30That was the most confusing paragraph I have read: Pridak's face (and his shark blades) are covered in "red cells" (blood). And al BIONICLE are biomechanical. Priadak's face has "red cells" because he eats organic things.
1I guess Greg decided to make it part of the color sheme only. Remember, he said the designer wanted to apply what looked like blood to the figure, I don't believe that it has been officially stated in the storyline.
1the piraka will be back he says
2No. Lewa would just levitate, since his mask, Kanohi Miru, is the Mask of Levitation. Nuparu, with his Kadin, the Mask of Flight , would be able to fly, but probably shorter distances or for less time.
1So nuparu could just levitate.
4I see that you got confused. Greg clearly stated in that answer that the red marks in Pridak's face are part of his natural colouring (Just like Carapar's black markings, or Turaga Dume's double-colored mask), not blood of some organic creature. 5Khote3That was the most confusing paragraph I have read: Pridak's face (and his shark blades) are covered in "red cells" (blood). And al BIONICLE are biomechanical. Priadak's face has "red cells" because he eats organic things.

3QUOTE 4Hey, I was wondering if you could give me a little info about the store exclusives that are coming out this year. I already know about Nocturn, but if it's possible I want to ask for more detail -
51 - The Member of the first toa team ever. 6Is he from a flashback? 7Does he really interact with this year's characters? 8If he does, how? 9What color is he? 10How much will he cost (US dollars)? 11What Store
122 - The store exclusive matoran. 13Are there multiple? 14What color(s) is/are it/they? 15Do they come with another living creature? 16Does the term Matoran also refer to Hydruka in reference to this year's small sets? 17Is one of them Sarda? 18How much will they cost (US Dollars)?
193 - Are there any other store exclusives? 20What stores can we expect to fing all these at (US)?
21Sorry about all the questions. I understand if some can not be answered due to storyline reasons.
22~Zant~
231) He is not from a flashback, and he is green, I believe. The rest of your questions I cannot answer.
242) The two I know of are Sarda and Idris. Hydruka are not Matoran, they are simply lumped with them on Shop At Home for convenience, since it is silly to create a whole new category for two small sets. I can't answer the rest of your questions.
253) It's possible, but if so, I have no info on them.
