1Here are some questions from my last PM to Greg.
21) Now that the Toa Nuva are fulfilling their tasks to reawaken Mata Nui, do they even have time to retrieve the Matoran masks of Jaller and Co? 3A) or will this story be dropped because of the other short stories? 4
Or do the Nuva have to get to Karzahni anyway on their way to/fot a task to reawaken Mata Nui? 51) That story will be dealt with as part of the Gali Nuva blog on BIONICLEstory.com
62) Will the Makuta vs. Karzahni battle be presented as a short story or as a podcast? 72) Short story
83) You recently told a member you may not have time to put up the Invasion storyline here at BZP. I thought Invasion had basically been finished when Scholastic dropped it out, so wouldn't it be possible to release like 2 chapters each month? Or does the storyline needs revision because the storyline has changed in the meantime? 93) No, only 6000 words of Invasion were done -- the books are 20,000 words long. 10Oh, I thought the book was finished when it was dropped...
114) If the Invasion storyline won't be published at BZP, are you at least planning to release outlines of it e.g. in you Bionicle News-Update topic or in some similar way? 124) Don't know yet 13I really hope Greg will find a way to let us know what happened during Invasion
145) You probably can't, but still: Can you reveal anything from the Invasion storyline that has not been known so far? 155) I'd rather hold off on that 16I'd expected that
176) The BL9 quote you had last week: "You just saw our technique. We laugh in the face of danger. But sometimes danger doesn't get the joke" . Can you tell me whether the members of this group are known to us or whether this group is a new faction/organisation? 186) No, I can't discuss that 19mhm so who can it be? Piraka? Barraki? Makutas? so many options.....
207) Do you know whether the Toa Nuva – once re-released- will still be called Nuva, or will they get a new team name, since you said their will be a storyline reason for their new appearances and it not just a set redesign? 217) Still be called Nuva 22So we don't have to learn a new teamname:
238) By the way, you have never released a translation for the Matoran word "Nuva" right? 248) Nope 25I wonder what it means, if it has one meaning at all.
269) I spent some time thinking about how Lesovikk's Toa team might have been called. I thought maybe that their name was related to the fact that they were the first Toa team ever. So I looked for a Matoran word for "first" but did not find one. Then I found a web- Maori-English translator and found a translation. First=mätua. I know Lego won't use Maori words again, so maybe my action was not that wise, but still I like the tone of the word Metua for Lesovikk's Team. However I am quite sure you can't use that term (costs saving a new term legally, Maori controversy), but do you think it may be a safe guess that Lesovikk's teamname refers to a Matoran word that means "first"? 279) It's possible 28What do you guys think? Would you like Lesovikk's team be called the Toa Metua?
2910) I know destiny is not an easy issue. But is Lesovikk's destiny or his primary task the same as the rest of his teammate's? 3010) I would say no
3111) Can you say the Red Star is an entity (whether a person, a place, an object, or something else) that has the task to assure the will of Mata Nui or destiny in general can be fulfilled on the surface world? 3211) I cannot discuss the red star at all 33So we all won't bother Greg asking stuff about the Red Star ever again:
3412) Have the Toa Mata met the Makuta of Metru Nui or any other member of the BoM in their lives prior to the time they entered the Toa Canisters? 3512) No, I am guessing not, off the top of my head
3613) Was it an instant decision (by whoever) to send the Toa Mata with the Toa canisters to Mata Nui when the Great Cataclysm occurred or did the Toa Mata spend a longer time (dormant) in the canister before being shot up in the sky after the Great Cataclysm? 3713) They were dormant in the canisters for a long time before the Cataclysm happened 38I wonder when and why they went dormant into the canisters.....and where they were shot up from
3914) Since Takanuva has not become a Turaga after "defeating" Makuta he obviously has not fulfilled his destiny. Is his destiny tied to the final defeat of (the) Makuta or is it related to something else? 4014) I can't answer this, but I can point out that there is more to becoming a Turaga than just fulfilling destiny -- you also have to make the choice to give up your Toa power. 41Gali:"Lewa, we have defeated Makuta and reawakened Mata Nui, we can pass your power to new heroes, our path is over" Lewa :" No, I don't want to, I want to stay a super-handsome powerful Toa hero:::::"
4215) The dome containing the Southern Continent was flooded when Voya Nui broke of. 43A) Is it still flooded now? 44When Voya Nui returns magnetically to the continent, will the water be drained? 45C) Can you tell how the hole in the ceiling of the dome will be sealed? 4615a) Partially, yes 4715b) No 4815c) Nope 49I wonder whether there is a continent left or whether there are only island left over due to the flooding of the dome
5016) Here is a link to amazon.de: Link removed: 51Although both book are still labelled as BC 1&2, the homepage of the publisher says it actually BL6&7 (I guess amazon-typo). But what I'd like to know is whether the 3rd book due in October is the Encyclopedia published in German? 5216) Have to check for you 53Seems like we will have BL6&7 and the Encyclopedia Vol II in german language:
5417) If the Toa Mata had not been summoned by Takua to Mata Nui. Would Makuta most likely have just continued "annoying" the Matoran and keep them away from Metru Nui, while he can lean back and watch his master plan unfold? 5517) Yup. He had no reason to want the Matoran dead 56This evil mastermind.....
5718) Just a question that arose when I listened to "Into the darkness". Does Makuta know where Hydraxon's corpse is located in the original Pit? 5818) He might 59Might get interesting since he is travelling there with Matoro and his Mask of Reanimation....
6019) When are you planning to go into detail about the OoMN-member that has lost contact to the Order? 6119) I'm not at the moment. Not relevant to the story
21) Now that the Toa Nuva are fulfilling their tasks to reawaken Mata Nui, do they even have time to retrieve the Matoran masks of Jaller and Co? 3A) or will this story be dropped because of the other short stories? 4

1hi its been a while but i heard you are/ were on vacation and i hope you had a good time. anyway 21. When is the first time we may see pics of '08 sets?
32. find out story info?
43. Why does matoro spend so much time with Makuta even though he knows who he is?
54. Is '09-'11 a trilogy?
65. When is comic 9 coming out
7thanks, Rusty
81) Not up to me. 92) I wait until the very last minute to release 2008 story info. You may get info from other sources, but my job is to keep you focused on 2007. 103) It's called "keeping your enemy close" -- if you are there to see what he's doing, it's harder for him to surprise you. 114) I can't discuss this 125) The next three comics are mid-July, mid-September and mid-November
1Hello, I have some questions here to ask. 21. If the tubes on the Toa Mahri's masks serve as gills, could they replace their masks with normal ones and breathe air again?
32. About how big is Artahka?
43. The would Mata-Nui's death affect the whole universe, or only the domes?
54. Why didn't The Makuta of Metru-Nui just destroy the city while the matoran were gone instead of herrassing them on Mata-Nui?
65. The Makuta of Metru-Nui was freed from his protodermis cage when a small amount was destroyed, so could the same thing work when the Nuva try to free the Bahrag?
71) No. If it were that easy, then there's no drama -- they can just go back to Metru Nui whenever they want and live their old lives. The point is they have to fight to save the universe and might not be able to go home again.
82) I haven't measured it.
93) The Matoran universe, which is the domes.
104) Destroy what city? You are mistaken about Makuta's plan. Makuta doesn't intend Mata Nui to stay asleep forever -- he wants to control when he awakens. If Metru Nui is destroyed, then he's never waking up.
11Then it seems it is more than the Coloseum that is related to Mata-Nui's well being.
125) Makuta's cage was destroyed by the use of the same six powers that imprisoned him. So all the Toa Nuva have to do is go back to the cage and use their powers to open it.
13I guess I forgot all about that.
115) The dome containing the Southern Continent was flooded when Voya Nui broke of. 2A) Is it still flooded now? 3
8
What?, then the Southern Continent will stay flooded forever? 
1Hi greg, hope you are doing well. Some stuff for you:
21: Is it possible, if Maxilos was destroyed, that he could reasemble himself? Almost like a Vahki, or a Nektann? 31a: Was he built by Hydraxon himself, or someone else? 41c: Were was he built?
52: Not sure you can answer this, but I have to ask: The sets you spoke of in your blog, the ones with returning functions, and the ones that stores might not carry, seeing as they might be a little more expensive than the avarage set: Will they be Promotional, or just regular, world wide sets? 62a: And for price range, are we talking, oh, 40$ here?
73: Any word on a three titan combinder yet? (This is the last time I'll ask) 83a: Possibly...Next year?
9Thanks in advance:
101) No, he can't do that 111a) Order of Mata Nui 121c) I would assume Daxia
132) Regular, world-wide. 142a) Higher
153) I haven't heard anything about one for this year, and it's too early for one to have been made for next year.
16Man, 08 sounds awsome: Those sets are probably gonna be 50 bucks, if not higher, and they are not even 3 titan combos:? This sounds awsome, I cant wait...
1New stuff:: Yes, I realize that this is seven questions not six...
2Hey Greg, six questions, 31) In BL1, Tahu remembers a fight where the opponent was the volcano itself. I looked through all of the old comics and bionicle chronicles 1-4, and i couldn't find this fight. Could you tell me when it happened? 42) In BL2, the Nuva were trying to get their tools back and Lewa made Reidak break the door down to get the tools. I was under the impression that the tools were in the room, but the Nuva never entered the room and they got their tools back. 53a) When Karzahni's matoran take Jaller and co.'s tools and the Suletu, Kongu somehow gets the Suletu back to wear it. How did he get it if it wasn't with them? 63b) What mask did Karzahni give Kongu to put on? (This probably seems like an odd question, but I was just curious) 74) When Karzahni is showing Jaller and co. what would happen if Mata Nui dies, it says "The light of the lone sun had been extinguished for good." Did something happen the other sun? 85) If the builder of the Toa canisters in Karzahni's realm had choosen to go with them, how would he have gone with them? Would he have become a Toa as well? 96) You probably wouldn't know the answer to this, but I'll ask anyways. When the Nuva are re-released, is it possible that they will come in bigger versions of the original Toa canisters? 107) If the Piraka can use elemental powers when combined with another Piraka, could they make solid protodermis if all six of them combined powers?
111) Well, I know there was a time in one of the first year's comics when Pohatu and Lewa had to deal with an erupting volcano. Not having Bionicle Legends #1 in front of me, I am not sure if that was what he was referring to. 122) Or I simply didn't spend time on them entering the room and getting them back. 133a) Sleight of hand 143b) No idea, not something I worried about. 154) One sun-hole is at the bottom of a bay, one sun-hole is buried under ice. 165) Not unless he was destined to be come one. You can't become a Toa unless you are destined to do so. 176) I don't have this information. 187) No, only Toa are able to do that. It's a unique gift that they have.
21: Is it possible, if Maxilos was destroyed, that he could reasemble himself? Almost like a Vahki, or a Nektann? 31a: Was he built by Hydraxon himself, or someone else? 41c: Were was he built?

17Whoah, what is this, the return of 2001 Rahi and Bahrag type sets?

1Hey Mr. F, haven't talked in a while. I just have one question today:
2In the MoL movie, when Makuta warns Takanuva (referring to Mata Nui), "Sleep spares him pain, awake, he suffers." Could this refer to what Zaktan found in that secret chamber, saying something along the lines of when Mata Nui awakens, a reign of darkness would begin?
3Thanks for you time:
4Nope.
5Hmm, alright then, but I have 2 more questions:
61. The Piraka mutations, are they heavily visible?
72. Was Vezon intended to smash Matoro's head into a wall in the Cord, or would he have gone underwater in pursuit? 82a. Why is Vezon so mad about losing the Ignika?
91) Yes 102) Vezon was not going to go underwater in Invasion, no 112a) Wouldn't you be? He lost all his powers with it.
12Didn't think Vezon would've gone under. I just have a couple more questions again:
131. Had the Zyglak been the dominant species, would they have been good? 141b. What would have happened to the matoran? 151c. Would the Zyglak be able to change into a stronger form similar to a Toa?
162. Is Lesovikk's destiny to defeat Karzahni, or to save his Matoran friends?
173. Your new quote, was that said by MoMN, or a different Makuta? 183b. Does each Makuta differ in terms of thinking, personality, and ideas, or are they all like their Leader?
194. Is it possible that the Nuva will be upgraded in Artakha? 204b. In what island order do they go in to accomplish their new mission (i.e. Metrr ui to Bahrag Cage etc.)?
215. If the Cord were to be smashed, it crushes Mahri Nui correct? And once it does, it kills everyone on both islands right? 225b. If yes, then wouldn't the Toa Mahri, Axonn, Hydraxon etc. be killed as well, or do you have to be present on either island to be killed?
236. Is it possible to get a Vezon quote from original BL7?
247. Do all the Piraka show up in their new forms in BL8? 257b. Are any of them happy with their new forms, or horrified?
268. Does Axonn show the Mahri the TC in BL8? 278b. How is this possible if true, do the Mahri go back up the Cord or something, or does Axonn inform them of the TC before they leave?
289. Who fights Karzahni first, Lesovikk or Makuta?
2910. "Downfall" is based upon more than one thing in the book right, including the Barraki Alliance, Voya Nui going back down etc?
30I think that's all I wanted to ask, thanks again for your time Mr .F.
311) Probably not as savage as they are now, but I don't see them as being benevolent. 321a) Odds are they would have wound up living on the fringes of the universe. 331b) No, the Zyglak were not built for that
342) Can't answer it
353) Can't answer it 363b) They are all have unique personalities
374) Can't answer either one -- follow the Nuva blog and find out
385) You would have to be present on the island to be killed. Anyone on the surface of Voya Nui would drown, anyone in Mahri Nui would be crushed.
396) I really don't have time to go quote hunting right now
407-10) All of these deal with future storyline, so I can't answer them
1Hullo Greg: Apparently you never got my last message, but since then I've come up with some news ones, hopefully you'll get these.^^
2Regarding a Toa of the Green:
31.) What is the extent of how many plants a Toa of Plantlife could control at one time? 41a. Would it be possible for him to make a large number of trees uproot themselves and attack his enemy? 51b. Are smaller plants easier to control than larger ones?
62.) Would a Toa of the Green be able to create new species of plants? 72b. If so, would he be able to create plants with special, for lack of a better word, powers? i.e., A plant that have off a glow that the Toa could use to light the way, a plant that produced a fruit that could cure so-and-so poison...
83.) Are all Toa of Plantlife male?
9Regarding a Toa of Plasma:
104.) What exactly is a range of a Toa of Plasma's powers? Can he simply just....Melt things?
11Regarding the current state of the universe:
125.) Now that there are fewer Toa in the universe, are the common Matoran on islands besides Metru Nui in more danger than before?
136.) How are the Matoran (Again, on other islands) reacting to the Brotherhood of Makuta's betrayal? Are they doing anything about it?
147.) Has word of Metru Nui's repopulation reached the ears of other Matoran-populated islands? 157a. If so, can we assume trade will resume soon?
16Regarding Karzhani:
178.) How would one go about shipping Matoran to Karzhani, when that still happened? Was Karzhani's location well-known then?
189.)Did Karzhani leave his realm completely alone, without Manas? 199b.) What did he use to geat to Mahri Nui? Seems like a long trip without a Toa Canister.
2010.) I'm not sure I ever understood why there were a set of Toa Canisters in Karzhani, did the crazy Av-Matoran build them?
2111.) Was the crazy Matoran's rant about not building a seventh canister just the ravings of someone who's had a little to much time by themselves, or did the sane Matoran actually build six because of that?
2212.) Where was the crazy Matoran from?
23Regarding Av-Matoran:
2413.) Are there more hidden Av-Matoran on Metru Nui? 2513a. If so, do we know any of them? 2614b. Could the Ta-Matoran Kapura be one?
27Thank you for your time, Mr. Fasrhtey.
281-2) I haven't bothered specing out his powers, since he is not really doing anything in the story at this point. 293) Yes 304) Same answer. Until and unless I actually have to use them in action, I don't have time to worry that much about what they do. 315) Certainly they have less options to protect them and many have to be more self-sufficient. 326) Well, first question is, how many actually know about it? The Metru Nui Matoran know, but they immediately left the city, along with their Toa. The Rahaga knew, but we don't know how much they shared it. Certainly Matoran know about the Visorak rampages, but even the Toa Hagah didn't know for sure who was behind that until they saw Roodaka and Sidorak. So it is an interesting question. 337) Slowly but surely. As far as trade goes, though, as you pointed out, with a lot fewer Toa the waters are that much more dangerous to traverse. 348) To the Turaga it was, yes 359) All of this gets revealed in the serial on BIONICLEstory.com 3610) There are Toa canisters seeded in many places, because it was impossible to predict where or when a Toa might need one. 3711) That was why they only built six, yes. It was superstition. 3812) He was one of the original colonizers of the universe core 3913-14) No. Too dangerous to hide two in one place.
40Hmmm, too bad about the Toa questions, I'm trying to write an Epic.
41Hmmm, Takua was the only Av-Matoran on Metru Nui? Interesting.
1You've said that the Mask of Life cannot bring Mata Nui back to life by itself. Is this a similar case to, say, a Hau not being able to save a Toa by itself 'cause the Toa was merely holding it in his hand rather than wearing and using it? If it is, is it possible that it could bring him back to life if someone was wearing and using it for that purpose?
2Thanks, 3W?
4No. What "in and of itself" means is that the power of the Mask of Life in and of itself -- whether you are wearing it or not -- is not sufficient to do the job.
5Ah... The refreshing sound of a theory going down the drain. Blub... blub... blub...

6It's strange how it can sustain a being, but not revive it... I had a good idea for an epic until I learned the MoLi can't revive.
4If you re-read that section, Lewa Nuva actually used Reidak to help the Nuva enter the Piraka stronghold. The scene ended as the Voya Nui resistance team pointed the Toa to the room with their tools and masks (although we never saw them enter that room, either).
7Actually, Mr. Farshtey has already released the Toa Nuva's itinerary -- from Voya Nui (end of Legends #5), back to Metru Nui (end of Legends #7), back to Bahrag cage (end of Legends #7), then to Odina (see Mr. Farshtey's topic "BIONICLE News Update"), then to Karzahni (to retrieve the Toa Inika/Mahri's Matoran masks [I believe the main point of that side-trip was that Tahu Nuva wished to recover Lhikan's Hau as a gesture of respect to the deceased hero), then (after a few more places, maybe) to Artakha at the end of Legends #8.

1Some Mahri stuff in the spoilers, normal stuff outside of spoilers.
9Non Mahri ones
105. Out of all the Toa, excluding Kopaka, who probably would be, who do you think is most like a lone wolf?
116. Can a Toa or someone who can access a mask power, push it past it's limits? As in like with the mask of the spirit, do something like make their body into a spirit instead of releasing it?
12Thank you.
175) Nuju and Lesovikk 186) No. The mask can only do what it can do. You cannot change its power or amp its power up by force of will. It's like the BZP server -- you can't make it run faster just by willing it to do so.
2Hello, I have some Mahri questions for you if you could answer them, and I will put them in spoilers.
31. How does Jallers mask work? Does the sound come off his body, mask, etc.?
42. I read on the OGD that Hahli convinced Mantax to join them, or something like that, hence her leading his army at the end of Prisoners of the Pit, so Mantax and Kalmah are both with the Mahri now? 52b. I read on the OGD that Kalmah joined them, is this true?
63. Have you named Lesovikk's sword yet? 73b. His vehicle?
84. Could Hahli copy an octupuss and gain more arms or something like that?

1Hey Greg: How's it going? I sent you a PM a few weeks ago but it was eaten by the server.
21) Why didn't Tuyet escape the Pit? She could have literally walked out by using her mask.
32) Could you give me some new info on what's going on outside of Mahri Nui? The topic's got nothing new.
45) I have a theory about how the Mask of Life doesn't die because of Hydraxon. Gadunka appears at the last moment to get the mask. Am I right?
56) Why does Gadunka want the Mask back? He's way too big to use it as shelter now.
6Thank you for your time Greg:
71) As I recall, it never states in the story what her mask power is (which is why I keep getting questions about it). So what mask power are you referring to?
82) When I have more info to share, I will share it in the topic.
95) Nope.
106) But it's his. It was his shelter, which means it belongs to him. Remember, you're not dealing with an intelligent, rational being, you're dealing with an animal. Why does someone's dog want their shoes -- it's not like the dog can wear them.
113 and 4 were unimportant entirely.
1Q) If the builder of the Toa canisters in Karzahni's realm had choosen to go with them, how would he have gone with them? Would he have become a Toa as well?
2A) Not unless he was destined to be come one. You can't become a Toa unless you are destined to do so.
3I doubt that he was, as he is a Av-matoran, thus he would become a Toa of Light, and didn't Greg sat something about Takua being the only matoran destined to be a TOL?

4Welcome to
Yes I think he did, I don't think there could be two Toa of Light.1until it is neccesary. lhikans team had 4 toa of ice. needed them to defeat the kanohi dragon. so when multiple toa of light are needed, there will be.
2i hope more toa of light come, but not with Masks of Light but rather with other masks. i hope they wont carry regular masks but rather special, like the mahri and inika had. or brutaka and axxon's. a toa of light with a mask of telepathy would be cool

3Did Greg say more would come if neccesary? I always thought Takanuva was THE Toa of Light.

4I'm hoping Mata Nui has a backup plan in case Takanuva dies before he can beat Makuta.
1will there be a set of Karzahni befor under water mutation? 2will he die in 2007? 3what bionicle books have karzahni in them
4I can answer those for you. 51. No since he's already mutated its pointless to make a set of a form that wont be seen in the story again. 62. You'll have to wait and see for yourself, GregF isn't going to ruin the story for you by telling you the ending. 73. Bionicle Legends 2, Bionicle World, BA 6-(mentioned only) His mutated form will be featured in online short stories on bioniclestory.com
1Here is a previous question.
21) Why didn't Tuyet escape the Pit? She could have literally walked out by using her mask.
31) As I recall, it never states in the story what her mask power is (which is why I keep getting questions about it). So what mask power are you referring to?
4Tuyet wears a Mask of Intangibility.
5True, my mistake. But she is in basically the same situation Brutaka is in, who could also use his mask to escape. If he does so, Botar will just go bring him back.
6Prisoners are allowed to keep their masks initially in the event of some sort of unforeseen disaster (like an earthquake) where they might need it to survive, since the Pit is not intended as a death sentence. Use the mask to escape and it will get taken away from you when you're brought back.

8I'm putting this on BS01 soon.
8Personally, I doubt that he will die. Greg doesn't like to waste characters with such a lot of potential like Karzahni, or like Kardas, or like Roodaka.1will there be a set of Karzahni befor under water mutation? 2will he die in 2007? 3what bionicle books have karzahni in them

Greg Me 1Hey Greg, I just finished reading BL7, and it was great: But I was wondering, if the Bohrok cleanse Mata-Nui to the way it was in the before time, does that mean that both sun holes will be cleared and there will be two suns in Metru-Nui again?
2That is certainly a good possibility
3Just got this from Greg.
16) The BL9 quote you had last week: "You just saw our technique. We laugh in the face of danger. But sometimes danger doesn't get the joke" . Can you tell me whether the members of this group are known to us or whether this group is a new faction/organisation? 26) No, I can't discuss that 3mhm so who can it be? Piraka? Barraki? Makutas? so many options.....
4I read on ether wikipedia, or bs01wiki that the piraka will come back, mutated by 5the waters of the pit
http://www.biosector01.com/wiki/index.php?title=Piraka 
6T01, OUT: 
4I read on ether wikipedia, or bs01wiki that the piraka will come, mutated by 5the waters of the pit
7Welcome to
Nice question, Toa of Ken I'm hoping Makuta.
4I read on ether wikipedia, or bs01wiki that the piraka will come, mutated by 5the waters of the pit
7Welcome to
8yes welcome T01 9BTW Bionicle_fan_nuva, this is one question from my post one page earlier, just to let you know
1ok the original message got lost somehow or you didnt have time to answer it. some questions regarding axxon's and brutaka's species.
2you hate the "axxon and brutaka have those powers so their entire species has them' thing so...
31) what are the uniform powers of axxons kind? 42)does axxon's species look like axxon? if not how do they look? 53)what powers does axxon have wich his kind hasnt got? how did he get them? 64) on a scale of 1-10 what strenght does axxon have? and his kind? what about makuta, keetongu, takutanuva, "ultimate dume", and krekka? 75)what professions does his kind have? like vortixx are mostly blacksmiths, what is axxon's kind? are they all warriors? 86) when conquering the southern lands, did he conquer his own land? 97) what is axxon's species name?
10same for brutaka.
118)what did brutaka do between the hand of artaka job and the OoMn job? 129) how did axxon get his axe? and brutaka's weapon?
131) Since I am not writing a story about his species, I have not worried about this. 142) Most likely somewhat similar. 153) I made it a point not to define all his powers, as I think it makes him more mysterious. 164) I really prefer not doing these kind of ratings, because it's really not accurate. For example, normal Axonn might get beaten by Brutaka, but enraged Axonn wouldn't -- so which is his accurate strength rating? 175) I don't see them as being "mostly" anything. I see them as being a mix. I think if they were mostly warriors you would have seen more of them, possibly in the BOM's army. 186) No need to, that was already done 197) I haven't assigned it a name. I can't dole out BIONICLE names at will, they cost too much to get cleared through Legal.
20Answers are pretty much the same for Brutaka. As for what he did between jobs, I need to go back and confirm Brutaka was in the HOA. And their weapons most likely either came from their native lands or were forged for them by Artakha's artisans -- I kind of lean toward the latter today.
21so the things you can fish out are:
22axxon and brutaka's species look like them. 23they , like matoran, have many professions. 24it seems like axxon was the leader of his kind "no need to, that was already done " 25axxon and brutaka have more powers than already showed 26i assume brutaka and axxon's kind have roughly the same strenght. axxon enraged can defeat brutaka, while brutaka defeats him when ambushed. so the same strength wich varies by several factors
