1Hi Mr. Farshtey:
2I have a couple of questions that I am confused about. If you could answer them, that would be great. Thank you:
31. When a toa is using the mask of speed, do they see in slow motion, or is everything a blur?
42. Can a toa suspend his/ her element in the air, like Onua Nuva did in Mask of Light?
53. How does Onua Nuva (wearing his mask) compare in strength to Krekka?
6This one is kind of off-topic:
74. Do you watch Smallville?
8(P.S: I am a big fan of your books. I think that they are great: )
9Thank you for your time.
101) I try to have them see the way Flash sees, not the way they would if it were real life. 112) Yes 123) Krekka is probably a hair stronger. 134) No, I used to
14Just a couple tidbits of info.
1Just one or two questions today, Greg...
21] Have we seen the toa team that Krakua told Vakama about? 32] Was Onu-koro always underground?
4_-wiggie-_
51) Yes, he was referring to the Inika 62) Yes
7It's just that I had a theory that Onu-koro was once in contact with the sun. Cause the sundial would never be able to reach four o'clock...
1Hmm, when did you get these replies? I haven't got mine yet and it's been quite a bit longer then usual.
11) Is Kardas stronger than Makuta? 21a) If yes, is he stronger than Nocturn?
32) How could Ehlek have survived in the original Pit without his breathing apparatus?
43) Since the first Toa team member is green, and is one of the original elements, does that mean that he is a Toa of Air?
51) It's a good question. My first thought was to say yes, but ... if he is physically stronger than Nocturn, does he then become too heavy to fly? Not sure.
62) Where does it say he didn't have it?
73) I believe so
3No thats a misunderstanding in a question asked by a BZP member Greg mistyped the name Inika instead of Ignika, the Ignika will be damaged by the end of this year.1Don't quote spam. 2Anyways, I heard someone say that GregF said that the Inika will be injured and repaired into the Mahri. Does anyone have a quote?

7It's just that I had a theory that Onu-koro was once in contact with the sun. Cause the sundial would never be able to reach four o'clock...
8My take on that is he means the actual city of Onu-Koro was always underground, which makes sense as that's where the Matoran built it. Personally I'm of the opinion the sundial would have been something visible only in the beforetime; AKA something that would show up if the Bohrok had succesfully cleansed the island and cleared it.
1Hey, all: Johnny C., here: 2Anyway, I just Pmed Greg aboot some stuff... Namely, Ehlek's possible betrayal, and personality questions. 3To comment on the above thingy about the sundial, I'm not sure it has any story signifigace, but my guess is that there was a hole in the cave cieling allowing light to enter the chamber of the Dial a long while ago... Maybe...
1Just a few questions I was wondering about:
28-Uz
2Hey Mr. F, just a couple of questions on Krakua:
31. Is Krakua from any of the islands we've heard/been to so far? 41a. If not, is he from the "World that feeds the world"?
52. How exactly was Krakua able to communicate with Vakama?
6And one more about the Red Star:
73. Could the Red Star be the World that feeds the world?
8Thanks.
91) No 101a) No 112) Telepathy 123) No
13So Krakua used his mask power I'm assuming; if so, then if Kongu still had his Suletu, could he have talked to someone from the past as well?
14Remember the circumstances -- at the time Krakua "spoke" to Vakama, Vakama had the Rahi on his face that allows for visions of the future. As soon as Makuta yanked that Rahi off Vakama, his contact with Krakua was lost.
15Oh, I understand now. Just two more things:
161. So can I assume that in the future, Krakua will have heard about Vakama and his adventure? 171a. How exactly could Krakua have known what would've happened in the future (aka if the Inika fail their mission, he wouldn't have existed)?
182. If Makuta hadn't ripped off the Rahi on Vakama's face, do you think that Krakua would've told him more things about the future?
193. Is it possible that we may one day see Krakua again?
20Thanks.
211) Yes 221a) Ah, but who says Krakua exists BEFORE the Inika go on their mission? If he exists in the post-Inika future, then he would know if they didn't carry out their mission, he would not exist. 232) To some extent, there is a limit to how much you can tell someone from the past without risking changing history. 243) Yes, but I doubt he is going to play a prominent role, since he isn't a set.
25Alright, but I just have another question:
261. If Krakua hadn't communicated with Vakama, how different would things be right now?
27My guess would be Vakama would have reacted to what Jaller did by sending out Matoran to bring him and the other five back. The Inika would never have come to be and the Nuva would be still imprisoned or dead.

1Just four this time. Enjoy:
2You have said that the Barraki have a little of the most famous supervillains in them. Would you mind linking at least some of the Barraki to some specific villain? 3I would need to know what I was referring to when I said that. I know someone asked about why Nocturn was serving Ehlek, and I pointed out that most super-villains have henchmen stronger than they are.
4Who (or what) defeated Nocturn so he could be sent to the Pit? 5Hasn't been revealed, cause it's not relevant to the storyline at this point
6Some time ago you made a list of strong characters, and it went like this: 7Nocturn-Makuta-Axonn-Brutaka-Reidak-Krekka. 8Where would you place Keetongu? 9Probably around Reidak level
10Will the different personalities of the Barraki have any importance in the way this year ends? I mean, last year the Piraka were all defeated the same way. I expected Thok to escape, or something like that. Will this year be different? 11There generally isn't room for me to do six individual defeats for characters, unfortunately. 12NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO::::

1Hey GregF Question
21 on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being makuta evil) how evil are the Barraki?
3Thanks.

5Oh, that's frightening... Although, I find that the Barraki are far more successful as villains than Makuta. Think about it-They kill out of necessity and to get a point across, but not for pleasure; They know value; They can work together if need be; They are (I think)always wary and never think everything is going to plan exactly... The perfect villains it seems, but for one weakness-rage. Their tempers will be the end of them...
1Makuta's like that, too -- he understands that you have to lose a few battles to win the war. That's part of the reason he hates the Barraki so much -- he sees himself in them. For whatever reason, that drives him insane.

1Message Forwarded From GregF
2Hey, Greg. About the Chronicler topic, got a question about Kapura (from second to last paragraph here). His "travel far by moving slow" ability or whatever in MNOG. Is there any way this could be adopted into the official story somehow? (Assuming it isn't already considered official?)
3Of course, that raises a lot of questions, like what the MNOG producers intended that to mean, or how exactly he'd actually accomplish it, since Matoran don't actually have powers. (My thoughts would be a tool he's hidden somewhere that is somehow tied to him with that power, or possibly that it's a lesser-known power built into protodermis, that you can sort of attune your mind to if you relax...)
4Any thoughts? 'Cuz this is influencing a lot of people's votes, who apparently aren't considering that it may not be official, and it's the main thing that's holding me back from deciding one way or the other...
5This was something that came from Bob Thompson, original head of the story team, and unless Leah knows what he meant by it, I don't. I wasn't on the story team at the MNOG was done.

11And Makuta managed to put him into eternal sleep and start to gradually kill him, and he caught the whole universe off guard with it. Plus he caused a universe-wide earthquake that threw everyone off. The Barraki gathered their armies and never put them to use, because MAKUTA ambushed and utterly demolished them.
12So, who would you say is more successful?
1I just have one question sence you seem to get over 100 of 'em a day.
21) I was thinking the other day and I realized that a few of the Piraka would be at a huge disadvantage against the Barraki. For example Vesok and Reidak wouldn't do to well cause the Barraki don't much to say in powers for them to resist and absorb.
32) Also would the Barraki even think twice about killing Reidak if he just got back up?
4Reidak doesn't absorb powers, Vezok does. Reidak adapts to defeats. And the Barraki would hesitate to kill Reidak if they thought there was some way they could get use out of him.
5Yeah I know Reidak doesen't absorb powers. Probably should have been more clear with my question(Very sorry). Anyway I have a few more.
61. I read that Reidak is actually PHYSICALLY stronger then Carapar and Krekka(not put together mind you) and that Krekka is a tad stronger then Onua Nuva when hes wearing his mask. Is all this true?
72. If all of the above is true I have another question... How? Reidak doesen't even look exceptinally strong. I mean I thought Carapar for sure would be stronger then Reidak(Figured he'd have to be having no powers an all).
83. Reidak sounds like the perfect thug. Why would Makuta bother with someone like Krekka when Reidak is stronger, smarter and perfectly willing to take orders for a fee and the chance to snap Toa in half.
94. Also Onua sounds insanely tough. I mean he practically brought down like half of the Piraka, regrouped his buddies then got hit with all the Piraka's powers and was still running until Vesok finally finished him off(And he still wasn't dead
105. Could Lewa have really broke Reidak's arm if he wanted to back in Bionicle Legends#1?
116. Since Carapar's strength is equal to or less than Reidak's, does that mean Carapar could possibly snap Reidak in half with his claw?
127. Since Carapar is nearly invunerable and Reidak is invunerable to whatever defeated him wouldn't that give Carapar an edge since he can only be harmed by electricity?
138. I read Mantax is weary of Carapar cause he has fought and lost to him a few times in the past. Why would these 2 fight?
149. Last question, If the Barraki wanted the Piraka dead could they use their stealth skills to strangle, crush, bite and claw them to death?(save Zaktan though Zaktan might actually join them) Or would the Piraka see if coming?
15Sorry if i'm sounding a bit judgemental about your choice to make Reidak one of the most powerful villians out there, but he does seem unbalanced to me. I don't doubt you had a excellent reason(being a AWESOME writer and all). But thank you for keeping Bionicle alive with awesome and vibrant story telling. It helps alot.
16SoGD.
171) I did provide some member a list, but in general, I am not real big on quantifying these things beyond in stats. I will probably try to do stats for the different characters we have along the lines of what we did for the Barraki, and determine by that. 182) Reidak once fell off a massive cliff and then climbed back up. 193) First off, Makuta didn't choose Krekka -- he hired Dark Hunters and that was who the Shadowed One sent. Most likely, Reidak was on another mission at the time. 204) Toa Nuva are battle-hardened and experienced Toa -- they are among the best there are. 215) Sure. 226) No idea. Depends on if Reidak uses his buzzsaw on Carapar first. 237) I would say no, because Carapar only has so many ways he can defeat you, and once Reidak adapts to them, then what does Carapar do? 248) Get stuck in a place with the same people for 80,000 years and see how often you wind up squabbling with them 259) In a Piraka-Barraki fight, I give the edge to the Piraka - they have more powers and better ranged abilities. You're not going to be able to sneak up on Zaktan, probably, and Reidak can see heat patterns, so he is pretty hard to ambush too. In water, yes, the Barraki have an edge, but I still like the Piraka in a one on one fight. 2610) Reidak's strength is less about bench pressing and more about being able to survive falls from high places, big boulders dropped on him, etc.
274) sweet 287) Kill him? 298) Guess it makes sense 3010) So Reidak isn't so much as strong then he as tough. Guess Carapar and Krekka might be the same strength or stronger then Reidak after all.
1For all of you guys out there thinking that the Barraki are strOnger than the Piraka, THINK AGAIN:
2Hi Greg: I have a few questions about Takanuva, the Barraki and more that I hope you will answer(you always do, your the best author Greg)
31-Ok, so scientifically talking, lasers are beams of extremly concentrated light particles that don't disperse all around. A light glow illuminates everything around because the particles are being sent everywhere, but not lasers, right? So if Takanuva can master light, does that mean that after months of practising he will have the possibility of shooting lasers like the ones Zaktan shoots?
42-Will we see the Piraka in action at least in BIONICLEStory.com in 2007? I would love to see them fight the DH on Voya Nui:
53-Talking about the DH, will we see them or hear about them when they arrive on the island of Voya Nui to hunt the Piraka?
64-One last question Greg. Are the Barraki stronger than the Piraka if they were to fight in a big battle WITHOUT their armies against the ex-DH? I'm dying to know this, bith sides seem pretty even to me
7That was all for now Greg. Thanks again for answering all of BZP's questions:
81) He already can, just as Tahu can shoot an extremely narrow beam of fire. 92) No big plans for that at the moment. Don't forget, Axonn is still on Voya Nui, so they have to tread carefully. 103) Right now, I don't have plans to go back to VN right away, except maybe at the very end of the year. 114) I would give the edge to the Piraka -- most have ranged abilities and a lot of powers, the Barraki do not. Pridak is stronger than Zaktan physically, but Zaktan can nail him with his lasers before he gets anywhere close.

31On 7, the idea is that anything that doesn't kill Reidak he will be invulnerable against. So if Caraper tries to cut him in two-and he lives-he won't be able to cut him in two again. Even if he is trying to kill him.

31On 7, the idea is that anything that doesn't kill Reidak he will be invulnerable against. So if Caraper tries to cut him in two-and he lives-he won't be able to cut him in two again. Even if he is trying to kill him.
32No duh? What I meant was if Carapar beat him once and Reidak got back up then Carapar beat down again only this time he'd kill him.(Like snap his neck or something.)
1No duh? What I meant was if Carapar beat him once and Reidak got back up then Carapar beat down again only this time he'd kill him.(Like snap his neck or something.)
2Well if you understand how the power works then you know that if he beats him down, then he's not going to be able to beat him down again. He needs to snap his neck the first time or it's just not going to work.
1Hi greg
2got a few questions
31)the barraki kalmah has a tentacle is it handheld wepon or is joined to his hand? 41) I consider it part of him
51a) if it attached to his hand i guess nocturn'stentacle is aswell 61a) Yes
72) now the we've seen official pictures of the mahri will u answering some basic questions on the mahri 82a)if no when will you answering questions on them, maybe june july? 92) Depends on what they are. I can discuss the sets, to a limited extent, but I am not going to discuss story and character, because all that will do is spoil things for people.
103) I gather you have seen the final models of the mahri what do you think of them? 113) What I have seen is what you have seen in the Toyfair pics, and I have no idea if those are final or not. Often what we have in our showroom are prototypes.
124) Which is your favourite mahri not based on character mainly design? 134) I really haven't spent enough time with them yet to decide.
14ok thank for your time
1No duh? What I meant was if Carapar beat him once and Reidak got back up then Carapar beat down again only this time he'd kill him.(Like snap his neck or something.)
2Well if you understand how the power works then you know that if he beats him down, then he's not going to be able to beat him down again. He needs to snap his neck the first time or it's just not going to work.
3Again dude he has more then one way to beat someone down.
1OK, so, I have a couple questions on certaint sets.
2Kongu 31. Why on EARTH does he have no weapon, instead, he just has 2 machine guns... 42. What are those machine guns names anyway?
5Maxilos 61. So what's up with this guy? I mean, his mask looks like an Akaku mixed with a Kiril. 72. Some people have been theorising that he's the Pit Jailer. Can you confirm this?
8Why do the Mahri look so...strange anyway? I mean, in Bionicle Legends^, the mask sent energy throughout the ocean. Is it possible that this is how the Mahri came to be? And which toa wears the mask of stealth? Kindred?
91) If you had two of those, why on EARTH would you need any other weapon? 102) See answer to #3 below 111) He's not wearing a mask 122) See answer to #3 below 133) Since it's February, and these are summer sets, I am not answering story questions about them.
141. Oooh. Sounds like these things can pack a punch. 152. Rats. 161. THIS interests me, very much. I knew his mask looked to weird... 172. Rats *2. 183. Yuppers. Just rats again.
1Hey Greg:
21/How are you?
32/Is their any connection between the vampire squids and the mutegan [spelling? agent in the water?
43/Can you reveal anymore of Axonn and/or Brutaka's powers yet?
53a/ If not when will you?
64/Can you tell me anyting new about Gadunka?
75/Is it likely that Axonn will rescue Brutaka?
86/Have you done my first quiz? How Loyal Are You?
97/What is your favourite set?
101) Fine 112) No 123) No, I have no plans to do so. 134) no 145) I would say no 156) No 167) Right now, it's Gadunka
17Nothing to good there.
1QUITE INTERESTING STUFF AHEAD::::::: 2Answers My Comments
3Hi Greg, 4I am reading the BC & BA book series right now and I came up with some questions:
51) Far back in 2001, I can clearly remember a german text about the Toa Mata say like: "Toa Lewa is the youngest..." Is that correct information or did the writer just take the "Le-Matoran/Toa way of life" as a hint that Lewa is the youngest? 61) That came from an early, and scrapped version of the story bible, so no, they are not different ages .
72) If the answer to question 1 is "yes", does it mean that the Toa Mata were created at different times or were they created one in a row (lets say within one day) and Lewa was the last to be made not being really much younger? 82) See answer 1
93) Is it true the Toa Mata's canisters were launched from the world that feeds the world, the 2008 location? 103) I don't recall if I have specifically stated where the Mata were launched from, I would have to go back and check 11(Does anybody here know whether this isright?)
124) Last time I PMed you I asked whether the clearing of Mata Nui by the Bohrok would bring something new ot light; and your answerwas "Such as?". Well I thought it might besomething like this: 13a) hints about the one(s) who built Kini Nui? 14
a trace how or where to find Mata Nui? 15c) why Mata Nui and Metru Nui have the same shape? 164) No, none of those. 17( Well but does this mean they will in deed find something??)
185) Can I assume that the island of Mata Nui was just meant as a "landing spot" for the canisters of the Toa Mata so they could make their way from there via Kini Nui to Metru Nui (maybe because a direct approach from the underworld would be too risky in a case when the Great Spirit is severely attacked?) 195) Yes 20( Yeah Big Point, please read my theory concerning this question and Greg's answer to it: Maybe NEW stuff:::::
216) Concerning 5: If not, am I far away from the truth? 226) See answer 5
237) Something I did not quite get in 2006: Some of Makuta's essence was still in his lair when the Piraka found his armor, plus he was present at Voya Nui in shape of the Antidermis-virus. Had he already been there or did he somehow attach to the Piraka and travelled with them to Voya Nui where he turned into Antidermis? 247) He traveled with them, but there was no need to attach to them -- he's a cloud of energy, he probably got there faster than they did 25(Good to know.....finally
268) As I read here on BZP (in the official new book topic I think) the BoM had slaves. Then I thought back to Zaktan's history: he was working as a slave in an antidermis mine. Was he a slave to the BoM? 278) No. The BOM enslaved Matoran 28(I have to correct: I read it in BL6, and the BoM took the Barraki armies as slaves didn't they?)
299) Have any of the Piraka met any of the the Barraki before? 309) No. The Barraki were in the Pit before the Piraka came into existence 31(So the Piraka are the "bad boys")
3210) You said that the corrosion of the seawater damages the Maskof Life and that it's life energies would spill into the water. Does this have some cross-reaction with the mutagen in the water? 3310) Not yet 34(uuh... what dos that mean..... Gadunka?)
3511) If answer to 10 is "yes". Could this fill inanimate beings with life? 3611) See answer 10
3712) Do Botar and the jailor know each other? 3812) They know of each other, I don't think they hang out and talk
3913) Can you reveal a name or an ability of the Mahri-Kanohi (probably not, but still I try)? 4013) No
41And here comes my THEORY-PM: 42Hi Greg, 43first of all thank you so muchfor answering that fast: 44And somehow I was surprised that I was right about the Mata Nui island thing:
45"5) Can I assume that the island of Mata Nui was just meant as a "landing spot" for the canisters of the Toa Mata so they could make their way from there via Kini Nui to Metru Nui (maybe because a direct approach from the underworld would be too risky in a case when the Great Spirit is severely attacked?) 465) Yes"
471) Was this ever stated before or is this something new. Usually i post my Q&A to your Official Discussion topic; but I am not sure you might want this one to be posted?: Just dunno. 481) That's not really that new. People have asked me before why they landed on Mata Nui if they wanted to get to Metru Nui, and my answer has been that, since they were shot up into the sky, they basically had to come to Metru Nui through the "roof." 49But I made a theory about the whole thing and hope it is not all that wrong:
502) So originally Mata Nui was a barren piece of land, serving as a landing spot for the Toa Mata in case someday the Great Spirit would be severely attacked. Because one could assume if that happened the balance of power would be shifting in the underground world, sending the Toa Mata - as Mata Nui's saviours and posibly last chance- the more direct way, would bear too much risk they would not reach their destination Metru Nui 51The Toa Mata's canisters would land on Mata Nui (or just at the coastline) and the Toa would assemble. Since Mata Nui was barren, it would be quite easy for them to see Kini Nui as the entrance to the undergound world. 52But since the Great Cataclysm caused more damage than one could assume, and made Voya Nui rocket up to the surface the launching mechanism of the Toa canisters was slightly moved or damaged, so that the canisters did not land on Mata Nui but in te sea, where they swam round for a thousand years. 53(That's the reason why I asked you, if the canisters where launched from the "world that feeds the world" - Since the Ignika seems to lead the Inika/Mahri/whatever to there- which I would assume is part of the underground continent. And an entire island breaking of a continent would surely make the place one of the most chaotic ones in the world). 54Here I want to switch to the Bohrok. I think their task is to clear the island after the Toa Mata would have entered the passge to Metru Nui so nobody could follow them, or if someone would have been following them to Mata Nui, the Bohrok would just have stopped them by clearing the surface. 55So the Bohrok were meant to keep the Toa Mata's back free on their voyage to Metru Nui and make it impossibe to find hints about their task. 56But since the Great Catclysm caused the EP spillage and made the island to a tropic paradise, it seemed the Bohrok were just destroying everything. Just in case the Bahrag (who made the Krana to ensure the Bohrok would function) would be captured or attacked the Bohrok-Kal were meant to be as a back-up plan to stop those who stopped the swarm (in our case the Toa Nuva). 57Well that's my theory for now. I hope this is not that wrong; atleast it sounds plausible to me. 582) Your theory is off in a few places. One, the island of Mata Nui served as a landing spot, that is true, but that is not the purpose it exists for -- it exists to house Metru Nui, the same way an eggshell exists to house the yolk. And the Bohrok's mission exists completely independent of the Toa Mata's, they are not connected to what the Mata are here to do. 59(That eggshell thing is quite interesting I think Greg has not stated this that clearly:::: I thought I was close to solving the Bohrok mystery: But Greg did nt say my idea about Kini Nui was wrong::::
60But it would be cool if you could check whether the Toa Mata anisters were launched from "the world that feeds the world"/underground continent:
61Oh and after reading BL6 Igot an answer to a question I asked you earlier and you were not sure about the answer. I wanted to know whether the BoM alrady had the Visorak hordes when they fought the Barraki - at least they are not mentioned as being part of the BoM-army in the book.
623) Last (and probably least): HOw is the official title of a Toa:
63Toa Team Name (like Toa Mahri Jaller) 64or 65Toa Name Team (like Toa Jaller Mahri - which by they way sounds quite like Toa Calamari; made my laugh and I wondered if anyone else noticed) 663) It's Toa Team name followed by proper name 67(So No Jaller Mahri, Calamari, whatever 68So thanks again Greg
