1Hi Greg:
2I hope you wouldn't mind answering just two questions this time...
3Maxilos is the Pit Guard, right? Then why didn't he go hunting for the escaped prisoners with the Jailor, Hydraxon? Since he's the pit guard, he should at least accompany Hydraxon to hunt the prisoners, but where was he?
4And who is more powerful? Should it be Maxilos, since he's the guard?

5Thanks, Greg: 6pirakahakann

71) Maxilos' job is to guard the prisoners Hydraxon recaptures. If he goes with Hydraxon, then there is no one to guard them. 82) I would have to check the stats

9Thanks, Greg.
10Hope you don't mind answering a few more... 111) So, from what you had revealed, Maxilos, Spinax and Hydraxon are going to fight each other, right? How did you fit all that together? 122) Is Makuta going to fight Maxilos? 133) Does Maxilos ever let Spinax loose? If so, when would he do so? ( Spinax may run off, right? ) 144) Can Jaller use the Mask of Sonar to detect weak points in objects? ( Shouldn't he be able to find hollow parts using the sound? ) 155) Just for confirmation: 16Makuta cannot be Hydraxon ( not being able to posses him), Gadunka ( it was created by accident of the Ignika ), the Toa ( He's using them to steal the Ignika and ruin their kind ), the Barraki ( Unable to posses ), Karzahni ( He's fighting him) and presumably Lesovikk (He's a side story), right? And you've mentioned that Makuta will appear as a set. So the only candidates left are: Maxilos and Spinax. Am I right?
17Thanks, Greg: 18pirakahakann

191) You'll find out when we reach that point in the story 202) See answer to #1 213) Spinax is like a bloodhound, so you can let him loose if he is on the trail of something. He's trained, he's not going to just run away and not come back, anymore than a police dog would 224) No 235) Sorry, you will have to follow the story to find out this answer.

24It's a little difficult to prove that Maxilos is makuta, since Greg doesn't really want to reveal it yet...

2Hi greg, this is the third time I have tried pming you this week, the other messages were eaten by the server, so here goes:
31: Are the toa mahri's weapons (specificly jaller's) made of protosteel? If not, is it because protosteel is just rare and hard to come by, or does it relate to how they got their weapons?
42: When lesovikk went to karzahni, did he meet the phycopath himself, or did he just check to see if they were there? 52a: If he met karzahni, did they battle? 62b: Speaking of lesovikk, how old are we talking here? Possibly between 90,000 and 100,000 years?
73: Would you consider hydraxon a leader, or a follower?
84: I been thinking about he cordak blasters, and came up with a theroy on how they work. The bullet is solid protodermis, and there is an unstable liquid inside. This liquid will exlpode if it vibrates, which takes place on impact. However, the good thing about this is that the cordak blaster is snug enough for the bullets to fit in, but stay in palce. The liquid can splosh around, but it cant vibrate since the bullets cant move. Am I close, or am I totallly insane? 94b: Considering hydraxon had limited materials to work with in the old pit, what are the cordaks made of?
105: Could you consider hydraxon an inventor, since he made the cordaks from scratch? 115a: Did he have an armory or a workshop, were he built and experimented, or some sort of lab?
126: In book 7, will it expalin how the mahri got there weapons, and got the cordak lanchers?
137: Not sure if you can answer this one: how would you describe artahka's personality?
148: Was lesovikk created by the great beings as one of the first matoran, or was he created by the process which all the presant day matoran are made through?
159: I dont want to sound greedy, but do you think you could give me one of the mahri's tool names other than jaller's sword? I have no preferance as to which. 16(I will not beg you, I try that with my parents for things and it fails spectacuraly)
17Thanks a lot:
18P.S: Do you ever remember me or recognize my name when you get pms from me?

191) Hahli's is, I know that. 202) I don't want to discuss what happened yet. 213) A leader 224) I haven't bothered theorizing how they work, cause I don't really need to know. 234b) Hydraxon didn't make the blasters. 245) Again, he didn't make them. Blasters were made on Xia. They were stored in an arms cache in the Pit. 256) Yes 267) World-weary, a little cruel, but usually for good reason 278) He was a Matoran before becoming a Toa 289) Hahli wields protosteel talons

koji toa of ice May 24, 2007, 6:19 PM

11. Do the matoran that were released as sets in 2006 in the story wear Great Masks? It says that on Biosector 01, probably because they wear the masks of the Toa Metru.

2Quick clarification there. What BS01 means with what masks Matoran wear purely is a shape thing. For the individual Kanohi pages, we have a "Matoran" Kanohi section, signifying that they're entirely powerless, and just note what Matoran have masks of that specific shape. As for the individual Matoran themselves, for extra clarifications I just changed "Mask" to "Mask (Shape)" for their info table to the right.

1Hello Greg, just a question i've been meaning to ask. 2If you were to take a Kanoka of freezing and make it a Kanohi, would it be a kanohi of ice?

3It would be a Kanohi with a freezing power, but it would not have the same powers that an Ice Toa -- it could not stop/start blizzards, etc. Just freeze people and things.

1Okay, after my last batch, I had a lot of questions.
21. Dekar and Defilak carry 'Electro-Swords', correct? Did Karzahni make these or did Defilak (Or someone else) invent them on Mahri Nui?
32. Is Dume's Noble Kiril shaped like a Noble Kiril? I only ask because Toa Norik wore a Pehkui shaped like Dume's Kiril, and why would you honor someone with a noble mask?
43. Idris and Sarda have spiked feet, while Dekar and Defilak have Metru-Nui Toa style feet. Is this because those two were out in the mutagen for longer?
54. In Legends 6, the Solidified air launchers are potrayed as 'cannons' (Dekar was given command of one of the largest, and a nameless gunner was firing a launcher which Carapar smashed). Are they turret emplacements or shoulder-mounted weapons like in the sets?
65. All of the Voya-Nui Matoran look slightly different (Well, the sets). Do all Matoran of one type look the same (i.e., all Ta-Matoran look like Balta, all Ga-Matoran look like Dalu, etc.)
76. Did the Skakdi have spines before they were 'upgraded' by the Brotherhood?
87. The Pit's mutagen doesn't effect equipment, right?
98. Do the sea creatures ruled over by the Barraki understand their rule? Are they intelligent enough to comprehend they are being ruled?
109. We know that a Kanohi Mask of Diminishment exists. If you forged a Disk of Shrinking into a mask on its own, would you get a Mask of Diminishment, or something else?
1110. Can a Mask of Sonar detect a being using a Mask of Stealth?
1211. Occasionally, do Matoran 'discover' new Mask powers? The Mask of Stealth seems outdated compared to a Mask of Concealment. Same thing with Mask of Quick-Travel compared to Mask of Dimensional Gates.
1312. Does the mutagen of the Pit change your appearence drastically? For instance, if the Shadowed One went in, could he come out with three legs, no tail, two heads, and four arms? (Just hypothetically)
1413. Balta and Velika were 'inventors', correct? They didn't seem to do any inventing, while Nuparu made the Boxors and Vahki. Why weren't they shown doing inventing? Also, the MNOG games added a ton of Matoran names, but we only know seven Voya-Nui Matoran. Why?
1514. Is it possible there are Matoran of other tribes on Voya-Nui or Mahri-Nui?
1615. No Ko-Matoran has been seen yet in Mahri-Nui. Are there any, or is this just a lack of story time yet?
17Some of the questions are pretty wacky, but I hope you can answer them.

181) Karzahni gave them to them 192) Who says a Turaga could not have done something heroic and been honored by the Hagah? 203) Not aware of any storyline reason for it, just a difference in set design 214) They have heavy weapons versions of them and hand-held versions of them 225) I doubt it 236) Yes 247) Can't be certain of that, because the mask is an object and it's being affected 258) Yes, the same way a lion pride can comprehend it follows the alpha male 269) No, that's what you would get 2710) Yes 2811) I don't see them as outdated, I see it as the same as the Miru-Kadin situation. You need different kinds of masks for different kinds of situations. Dimensional Gates is great, if you don't mind having to traverse hostile dimensions to get from one point to another in your own. Teleportation is less powerful, but safer 2912) I would say yes 3013) Let me break this into a couple of parts -- 31-- When did Velika and Balta have time to do this? Nuparu was living in a relatively stable village -- Velika and Balta were on the run as a hunted resistance. That doesn't leave a lot of luxury for tinkering. 32-- Many of the MNOG and MNOG2 Matoran names were never cleared through Legal. All names now have to be, meaning you are talking several thousand dollars a name -- I can't just toss names in for characters for the sake of tossing in names, because they cost money. 3314) Not unless there are Av-Matoran among them 3415) They haven't been seen because there is no Ko-Matoran set, therefore I can't put one in the comic, etc. I would assume there are some there, since there were on Voya Nui

2Evening, Mr. Farshtey. This time, just 07' questions, my friend.
3Storyline 41. Since it's been recently revealed that Mantax is looking for a "contract" of sorts, does that imply he also suspects one of the Barraki betrayed him and the others?
52. Will the Karzahni-Makuta battle have any significance to the storyline?
63. Other than the Matoran, Toa, and Turaga currently in existence, how will other intelligent species (such as the Vortixx, Skakdi, and Zyglak) be affected by the eventual death of Mata Nui (In other words, what will his death bring upon them) ?
74. In the current timeline, who might you say is winning the Dark Hunter-Brotherhood of Makuta War?
85. Since Tahtorak have thrived in Zakaz (as is stated in Bionicle World), does that mean the Keetongu species lived there as well, or might that be another land, where other Tahtorak were stranded on the lands they went to from their original home (also stated in the guide, from what I remember)?
9Book 101. When might Bionicle Legends #7 be released to bookstores?
11Misc. 121. This is something I thought of for fun, mainly. Since normal biomechanical beings can't be cloned, along with the fact Maxilos is a robot, is it possible to copy the program that makes him function and transfer his "personality" into another mechanical body?
13That's all, and I grate you in advance.

Great Being #1 May 26, 2007, 1:18 PM

1I think #2 implies we will be seeing more of him in the future, like 08.

1Would it hurt to add a little more complexity to the build, to provide some mental stimulation for the target audience (7-9 year olds)? Since a lot of them just say "cool toy:" and buy a set on impulse, perhaps there could be a slightly more complicated build? Or would it discourage future sales? Just wondering.

2A: Set design is based on what we hear from the focus groups. So, for example, we have heard things like "gears make things too complicated" -- we have also heard, "don't use too many big, chunky pieces." It's not our job to guess what the design should be to please the audience -- we do research on the builds and on the kids building them.
3A lot of BIONICLE fans are not strictly pre-existing LEGO fans -- they don't have a lot of building experience. Even with things as they are, a common complaint I heard this past week in the groups is that they are too hard to build.

1Dear Mr. F:
2I sent you a PM a little while back but I think the server ate it. 3(If you did get my PM then please excuse this one.)
41) Would you describe Artahka as harsh because he ordered all thoes who had knowlage of the Island to be killed?
52) Did the inhabitants of Artahka make Karzahni's mask? Artahkas?
63) Can you give me some explentaion behind the physics of the energy that makes maskes work?
74) Why is it that of Karzahni matoran forget who they are?
85) Do all being beleive in Mata-Nui or are there things like Paganism or other gods that beings worship.
96) Did the GBs make only Matoran or people like Vortixx or Keetongus.
107) Why was TSO's island forgoten by Mata-Nui.
118) Is the name Toa Mata cannon.
129) If the way a toa looks affects how the matoran turning into a toa looks, does that mean that there is signifigance between the similarity or Toa Lhikan and Toa Haga?
1310) Does the BOM have a massive Olmak?
1411) Can Kanoka be "recharged" by electricity or other methods.
1512) Was Takadox using his hypnosis on Makuta when he talked about betraying Mata-Nui?
1613) Why would a "good guy" have a mask that makes friends into enemys and other evil stuff?
1714) What is Botar's race like? 1814a) Do all of Botar's race have powers of teleportation or is that a gift from the OoMN?
1915)Where Makuta's powers so horrible when he was good? 2015a) Why are a good guys powers so horrible?
2116) Why does Pridak order the destruction of his own troops? Isn't that a waste of man-power?
2217) In WoS how does Metru-Nui get overgrown so quickly?
2318) Is it possible that a matoran could experement with Bio-Engeneering.
2419) Would the OoMN rebuild the Pit if they knew it was brocken.
2520) (This is kind or a complex question) How does Botar know where to teleport people to the Pit if the Pit has been destroyed and all of the convicts are underwater? Do bionicle place have "names" given to them so that they still exist even if they are changed or destroyed?
2621) Do we know any charecters that have been in The Hand or Artahka.
2722) Have you ever heard of a Movie/Manga called Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind?
28Thanks for your time, 29-Leviathan.

53Dear Mr. F:
54I only have a few questions for you:
551) How would you describe Artahkas personality?
562) What happend to the people who knew of Artahkas location and dissapered
573) Is the OoMN looking for Artahka now? 583a) Do they know of the fact that they worked hard to destroy the knowlage.

64Does the fact that you have a personality set for him mean that we will meet him in the near future?
65Did the people being killed know that they where going to be murdured?


661) He appears in Bionicle Legends #8 672) No

1Hi greg, I have some urgent stuff:
2A: I know you proved ketongolo12 has book 7, but, he claims hydraxon was revived by the ignika transferring dekar's life force into him, so he retained some of dekar's memory. I found this hard to belive, so I had to ask you:
3B: Can hahli actually bend her talons, or always stiff? Same goes for ehlek.
4C: I'm not sure if you can do this one, but here goes: did the inika lose their weapons when they transformed? And did they get their new weapons in the armory were the cordaks were?
5Thanks in advance:

61) He's wrong, that's not what happened. 72) No, she can't bend them. Can Wolverine bend his claws? 83) No, they did not get their new weapons in the armory, the transformation transformed their weapons

9Some new stuff for you guys... So we know how the mahri got their weapons:

2Who's older the Barraki or Lesovikk? 3How old is Lesovikk?
4Thanks GB #1

5Probably Lesovikk, but I don't have an exact number for him

7Were all of Tahu's masks destroyed except his hau nuva?
8GB #1

9Yup

1How detailed will the plot of Mars Mission be? Will it be very detailed like Exo-Force (unlikely), average-detailed like Alpha Team, or slightly detailed like Aqua Raiders? I'm hoping for the second.

2Slightly detailed -- there's really no push from Denmark for us to do story for it.

1Did Kongu lose his weapon upon transforming and get 2 Cordak Blasters or did his Laser Crossbow transform into a Cordak Blaster?
2GB #1

3He ditches his melee weapon for two blasters, because he knows he is in a war.

4Interesting, I hope we find out what Kongu's melee weapon was.

1In the BIONICLE world, does the word "Ignition" have more than one meaning. For example, could "ignition" mean the beginning of a series of events, like in English? Or would "Ignition" literally mean the lighting of a flame (or flame-like substance)?
2-VK-

3Most things we use for titles in the story have multiple meanings

4I've noticed alot of connections between Artahka and the Order of Mata Nui. For instance, many HoA members became OoMN members. The OoMN protect the location of Artahka, even from those on their side. That takes an incredible amount of loyalty and respect... So I have some questions...
51) Is Artahka an OoMN member/leader? 62) Does Artahka at least have influence over what the OoMN does? 73) Did the Hand of Artahka only serve Artahka? Did it ever do the will of Mata Nui, or was it disbanded when Mata Nui came? 84) Was the Hand of Artahka disband because the Order of Mata Nui was formed? If so, did the Hand essentially become the Order? 95) Does the Order have one specific purpose? Or just the day-to-day backstage duties that Mata Nui needs done? 106) Did the Order request the Toa tools/Avohkii/Kraakahn/Kanohi Nuva to be made by Artahka? If not, who did?
11-VK-

121) No 132) No 143) It basically served the Great Beings, and then disbanded shortly after the coming of Mata Nui 154) No, the Hand actually disbanded because Toa had emerged as the keepers of the peace. Later, when it was decided that the OOMN needed to exist, many former HOA members made it up. 165) Purpose is essentially carrying out the will of Mata Nui and preserving order in the universe 176) Artakha simply seems to know when certain things are needed, and where.

18Just one quick question-
19Is it possible that Tahu, Kopaka, Gali, Lewa, Onua and Pohatu literally mean Fire, Ice, Water, Air, Earth and Stone?
20I ask mostly for the prefixes. If Ta- is only part of the word for Fire (as Av- is only part of the word "Avohkii", meaning light), logically Tahu would seem like a possible word for fire.
21-VK-

22Nope

1Hello Mr. Farshtey, many BIONICLE fans have been questioning as the story goes by, the appearance of some characters that were mentioned but never portrayed in Sets (like Lariska, for example ), images or basic structure plus different mask (Mavrah). But in BIONICLE World (on Odina) we saw various "standard" Dark Hunters that were basically the same.
2What I am approaching to is to ask your approval for the idea of Triglax having the form of those "standard" Dark Hunters. Due to that you don´t think in images and that it has been confirmed that this character wont have a big importance in the future I ask you to let the Fan community assume that Triglax has the next form:

5I can't say what is or is not an official form for him, because I have no idea if he will ever be in use officially. Until that time that he does appear officially in set or illo form, you guys are free to imagine him however you like.

2Hello. I just recently purchased BIONICLE World (a really great read, by the way) and had a quick question about the artists. In the introduction, you mentioned Jerbraz, Tobduk, and Johmak as agents of the Order. Well, "Tobduk" brought to mind Toby Dukiewicz (who I assume was the illustrator for the first few chapters), so I was wondering if you could tell me anything about the other artists who account for Jerbraz and Johmak (that is, if I'm right and they are BIONICLE-ified names of the artists for the Atlas).
3Would I also be right in assuming Stuart Sayger drew the maps for each island?
4Thank you in advance, 5-Chicken Little-
6P.S. Would you happen to have any updates concerning the winner of the BIONICLE Comic Cover Contest?

71) Jeremy Brazeal and John McCormack 82) No, Jeremy did the maps -- Stuart did not do any work on this book. 93) Contest is being judged tomorrow morning

GregF

Toa Korkoa

2Do the Toa Mahri still retain their lightning powers?

3No, the Inika had those because the sets lit up -- the Mahri sets don't light up.

2I was just reading the Mata-Nui status topic, and now have three questions.
31. Mata-nui has just died, and the universe is falling apart. Say that a team of six Toa decides to respond to the emergency by taking the unprecidented step of merging into a Toa Nui (let's just say they got the idea from the principle of unity).
4You have said now that it would take someone with the powers of a Great Spirit to stop the universe from being destroyed. Since a Toa Nui has the power level of a great spirit (we're assuming the Toa were successful in their merge), would the Toa Nui be able to stop the destruction of the universe?

52. a. Wouldn't someone with a Kualsi who had been to the surface before be able to retreat there?
62. b. Would they be able to evacuate others?

73. Is Mata Nui (great spirit) the Coliseum?

81) No 92) Yes, but no one like that exists. Only the characters you have met in 2001, 2006, and 2007 know of the surface world, and none of the mask-wearers from those three years have Kualsi. 103) No

bionicle_fan_nuva May 30, 2007, 9:51 AM

11. Is every Kanohi made from a Kanoka? 2A. Every Kanohi made in Metru Nui, yes
32. Anything exciting going on in Voya Nui or Metru Nui? 4A. Nope
53. Did TSO make his staff? 6A. I doubt it
74. What's up with Invasion? I heard it won't be on BIONICLE.com any more, is that true? If so, will you post it here? 8A. I discussed with BZP serializing it on here and sent them the first chunk, but they have not posted it yet.
95. Which comic art do you prefer? 1-27 or I1-(?)? 10A. No preference
116. Do you ever edit BS01? 12A. Rarely.
137. Now we know that Turaga don't have to be Toa first. Is it then possible for a Matoran to go straight to a Turaga? 14A. No
158. What do most people put in there subject box's? Does anyone keep a count like me? 16A. Some are very specific, and some are very vague.

31) Can the Arthron be used outside of water? Sonar seems to be a water-specific power. 42) Does the Faxon's power extend to growing/mutating new limbs? For instance, could Hahli or Lesovikk grow the tentacles of a Giant Squid? 53) Does the Zatth ever summon Rahi that could not survive in the surrounding environment? A flying Toa of Air summoning a Takea shark would be pretty useless. 64) In the scene where Pridak and Takadox are fighting Matoro in BL7, and Matoro reanimates an army of dead Takea sharks, which seems to take a lot of concentration, would a single push make him lose control and cause the army to go back to being dead? 75) Isn't the Tryna, being basically a Mask of Zombies, be a little overpowered compared to other powers, like levitation or shielding?

81) Not well, no 92) Nope 103) You're right, it would, but you are summoning things that share your environment, and in this case, the environment you are sharing is under the sea. The Mahri are water-breathers, so anything they summon is going to be a water-breather as well. 114) If his concentration is shattered, then yes, they go back to being dead. 125) No, for precisely the reason you mentioned. You can raise an army against me, but if I hit you with a rock, zip, they're back to being to being dead. And, from a story standpoint, I needed something that a -- helps balance out the thousands of sea creatures following the Barrkai and b -- gives Matoro an ethical issue to deal with, since it is pretty unsavory power.
