1Just a PM I sent a week ago. Nothing big.
21As you can see, I was very skeptical on the Makuta/Hydraxon fight.
22-TBC
2Hey Greg, just came back from vacation, and BZP is back, so I'd like to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind.
31)Is there anything significant about the fact that the scroll the Nuva found is made of paper?
42)It says in Bionicle Legends#7 that the new Hydraxon has no fears. Does this contribute to the fact that the new Hydraxon is going to fight Makuta by himself(a very bad move in my opinion), or would he have done that anyway if he was the old Hydraxon?
53)While on that subject, isn't the fight a little unfair? How could Hdraxon win if Makuta had previously taken out TSO and Voporak?
64)Does Hydraxon have extras of his weapons in case he loses some(like the exploding boomerangs)?
75)Will Makuta learn about the OOMN soon? He's gotten a lot of evidence recently(Axonn and Brutaka, The Pit, Botar, etc...)
86)About how many tasks do the Nuva have to complete?
97)Is Axonn aware that Voya Nui will have to go back to the Mainland for Mata Nui to be awakened?
108)Does Makuta consider anyone to be his friend?
11Thanks Greg:
12-TBC
131) Yes 142) He would have done it anyway. You can't be jailer and run screaming every time you run across somebody more powerful than you. 153) Makuta has awesome powers, that's true, but Hydraxon knows every detail of Maxilos' construction and Makuta does not. 164) Yes 175) Time will tell 186) Depends on how many I can fit into 10 chapters 197) Yes 208) No. To have a friend, you have to be able to trust someone else.
21As you can see, I was very skeptical on the Makuta/Hydraxon fight.
22-TBC
1QUOTEhey greg im sorry i have to ask questions but i need to know stuff: 21.who was the insane turaga on lesovikks island? will we see him in the future 32.what island was lesovikk from? 43.which year do you think is the best? 54.will we know how the barraki originally look like? 65.did the lego company run out of ideas to make a sword for lesovikk? 76.at comic-con did you see any cameras that had the g4 tv logo? 87.will the story get more suspenseful? 98.will people DIE::::? 109.how many islands will there be? 1110.how did you find out about bzpower?
12thanks for answering.
131) You have all the info on him that exists at this point. 142) Hasn't been revealed 153) 2004 was my favorite because that is when I started doing books 164) No more than you do now 175) I don't understand your question. Why would a sword mean we are running out of ideas? Jaller has a sword. 186) No 197-9) I can't discuss future storyline plans 2010) I don't remember
21what i meant by the sword is that its just a recolored pridak blade, not something a bit unique.

22New parts cost more money. If you didn't notice, everything on Lesovikk is recycled.
1I'm not sure if these have been asked before.
21: Does Spinax attack Makuta because (a- He finds out he's Makuta, or (b- Kongu uses his Zatth to control it?
32: What is the extent of the Great Zatth?
42a: Can one control Gadunka?
52b: Can one control Keetongu?
62c: Can one control Kardas?
73: Using the Faxon, one could use the powers of Spinax to locate anything, correct?
84: Lesovikk's Kanohi is a Faxon?
95: What would happen if one of the Mahri's pipe's were cut?
106: I understand that the Barraki can use Kanohi, but do their races wear them regularly?
117: Just as a Toa is weakened without a Kanohi, are the Barraki weakened aswell?
121) Neither, and Kongu's mask cannot control Rahi, just summon them 132) See answer to #1. It is not a Mask of Rahi Control - Rahi Control is a Makuta power 143) No. Spinax can track living energy. If you were looking for, say, the Spear of Fusion, it's not alive and has no living energy, so Spinax wouldn't be able to find it. 154) Yes 165) They would have a harder time breathing 176) No. 187) No. They don't need Kanohi to function at full capacity.
198: Could the Zatth summon any of the Rahi I listed in the earlier post? 209: So, then I assume you could use the Faxon to use Spinax's ability to track living things?
218) Well, I doubt it would summon Keetongu or Kardas under the circumstances, since they would both drown, and it's doubtful Kardas or Gadunka would want to help out the Toa. 229) Probably, yes
1Hey Greg, it's me again. As usual, I have some new questions for you:
21. Is another Matoran on Metru Nui going to be named captain of the Ta-Metru Guard, or is that too minor a plot element for you to worry about right now?
32. Was Maxilos the only robot like him ever created, or did the Order of Mata Nui commission others?
43. Before Makuta took over his body, did Maxilos have any sort of personality?
54. Would Maxilos be able to function on land, or is he solely an underwater machine?
65. Here's one about the Toa Inika/Mahri: is it part of their destiny to see to the safety of the Matoran of Voya/Mahri Nui?
76. Is there any being who we know about thus far who has the<i>skill</i> to defeat Makuta, if not necessarily the power?
81) Not until they know Jaller has become a Toa 92) No, there were more than one 103) Not really, he's a robot 114) Yes, because he functioned in the original Pit when there was no water there 125) Time will tell 136) Well, we saw Vakama and his team defeat Makuta
14Okay, I know that Makuta has been beaten before, but that was more dumb luck than skill so far as I've seen. The Toa Metru beat Makuta because nobody can really stand up to the six elements combined-except maybe the Kanohi Dragon or Kardas-and Takanuva only one because as a Toa of Light he's uniquely suited to battle a Makuta.
15Here are some more:
161. When the guys on Metru Nui find out that Jaller is a Toa, who will they appoint to the role of Captain? 172. Where are Maxilos' "brothers"? 183. Are robots like Maxilos or the Vahki affected by the Pit mutagen?
19Actually, Takanuva never beat Makuta - Makuta let him win. And also remember the Toa Hagah, who also defeated Makuta.
201) No idea. I haven't worried about it. 212) Out hunting down escapees. Remember, outside of the Barraki and Nocturn, all the other prisoners cleared out of the area 223) At a much slower rate, yes
1Yes, I remember a quote saying there were multiple guard robots, and that they're out in the ocean hunting prisioners. It's been a thousand years, somehow I don't think that venture has been a sucess....
11. Is Spinax fully robotical or his he biomechanical?
22. Does the trap that comes with Karzahni belong to Sarda and Idris?
33. Did Lesovikk where a Faxonn before he was mutated?
44. Can a Faxonn copy on land Rahi's pwers also?
55. Can a mask of Gravity do everyhing a mask of Levitation can?
6That's all for now, thanks Greg.
71) Bio-mechanical. 82) Follow the story and find out 93) Yes 104) If you are on land when using it, yes 115) Well, we have not seen anyone use a mask of gravity to increase or decrease their own personal gravity, only to use it on others, if I recall correctly. If you can't use it on yourself, then it wouldn't work like a mask of levitation
1Some questions for you.
21. Has Mata Nui ever met the Great Beings, or did they leave the BIONICLE universe before Mata Nui was "active".
32. Will the Bohrok return anytime this years?
43. When Makuta awakened the Bohrok swarms on Mata Nui were the Bohrok in the Onu-Metru Archives also awakend?
54. If Takutanuva were around would he have the mental disipline to fully control Kanohi as powerful as the Vahi or the Ignika?
65. Now that Makuta is housed within Maxilos does that mean he is limited to Maxilos' physical power? (Example: Say Makuta (in his best known forms) is an 8 out of 10 in raw strength, and Maxilos is a 5 or 6 out of 10. Does that mean that Makuta is a 5 or 6 now that he is controling Maxilos?)
76. What will Makuta do with Maxilos when/if he finds a new body?
87. Were did Lesovikk get his Sea Sled and Cordak Blaster?
98. What are the two blue orb-like things comeing out of the left side of Maxilos' head?
10Thank you Greg.
111) If he has met them, he probably wouldn't remember it. I tend to think he never met them in person. 122) No. 133) Any that weren't in stasis, yes. 144) Probably 155) Bingo, yes 166) Leave it 177) Stuff he had prior to coming to the Pit 188) I don't have the set, so impossible for me to answer. They are not in the company store yet

19For #8, they are Barraki eyes.I own him.
1hmm, he had the cordak before the pit? so he must have been to xia, where else could he get it from?
1I thought Greg did already mention Lesovikk having the cordak blaster before the pit. 
1Okay Greg, I have some questions for you regarding the technology of Bionicle:
21. Would air sphere launchers or Cordak Blasters work out of the water?
32. Did the Order of Mata Nui build Maxilos, or did they commission his construction by Xia or somewhere?
43. Were the Cordak Blasters first created as a job for the Order of Mata Nui (presumably under an assumed identity) or were they created and then the Order put them to use in the Pit?
54. Are there still enough Exo-Toa left to form an army of them? 64b. Are any more Exo-Toa being manufactured at this time? 74c. Did the Brotherhood have the Exo-Toa built, or did someone else?
81) Cordak would, yes. Air sphere blasters would be basically useless as weapons against land-dwellers -- hitting someone who breathes air with an air bubble isn't going to do anything to him. 92) Built him themselves. 103) The latter

11Um did you just forget to post the last bit or did Greg just forget to answer?
1Well now we know who built Maxilos. 
1Hello, I had a bunch of questions and... well, you know the rest:
21. How far does the Pit's mutagen extend from the deep? (how close to the surface?)
32. Is the Universe Core on the same 'level' as Metru Nui, Daxia, Xia, Odina, the continents, Lesovikk's island (you get the picture). Or is it below/above these?
43. Did Karzahni ever 'fix' any Matoran that were not Ta, Ga, Onu, Le, Ko, or Po?
54. Did he ever send any Matoran to Voya Nui/Mahri Nui that were not one of the six elements above?
65. Are there others of Brutaka's species and Axonn's species out in the universe? And do these beings have the same level of power as Axonn and Brutaka?
76. After the Hand disbanded, was Axonn not interested in Order membership until he did become a warlord? If yes, why, and what changed after his career as a warlord?
87. What did Brutaka do between the Hand and the Order?
98. The Dark Hunter Kraata-Kal was created by the Brotherhood, but now is a Dark Hunter. Was he a 'gift' (like a few others) or was he taken captive during the DH/BoM war?
109. Did other Barraki (besides Ehlek) have lieutenants (like Amphibax)? Do any still have lieutenants (like Nocturn)?
1110. A while back, I asked you if there was a Northern Continent in addition to the Southern Continent. You replied that if there was, it was probably smaller. This is not exactly what I meant- What I was saying was are there 'other continents' besides the Southern? Like an Eastern, Western, Northwestern... you get the idea.
1211. Would this be correct (North to South) of landmass regions?:
13Metru Nui 14Large Islands 15Northern Continent 16--------------- 17Southern Continent 18Island Chains 19Scattered Islands 20---------------
2112. Is there anything beyond the scattered islands of the far south (where Lesovikk is from)?
22Thank you for your time.
231) Quite a long way down from the surface 242) Yes 253) Certainly possible 264) Not to my knowledge 275) Yes and probably not 286) Order was not created the second Hand ended and Axonn did not know of its existence until he was recruited 297) Since I am not writing his biography, not something I have focused on 308) Would have to check his entry, I don't have a copy of the book with me 319) They probably did have, but don't now. The members of their original armies did not get sent to the Pit 3210) Yes 3311) Yes 3412) Don't think so
354. Is there a reason why he would have fixed them and not sent them away? 365. Really? Are Axonn's and Brutaka's powers 'given to them' by the Order/Hand? 376. So how long was Axonn a warlord? A few months? One or two years? 388. The reason I asked you was in the Kraata-Kal entry, it jumps from TSO explaining about the creation of Kraata-Kal to that he is extremely ambitious and is a Dark Hunter. Do you know, or could you make a guess as to how he went from a Makuta creation to a DH? 399. What I meant is, did anyone else recruit Pit prisoners as lieutenants, or was Ehlek the exception? (I suppose Takadox doesn't need one, he has hypnotism, and Hahli is in a way Mantax's lieutenant, but still). 4010. Does that mean there are several other continents besides North and South? (Sorry, I didn't word my question entirely right... just making sure you answered what I thought you did) 4111. What is in between the North and South continent? Or are these just more continents as well?
42And I two more:
4313. I think you said that Mata-Nui created the Barraki. By that, do you mean he:
44a. Created their species 45b. Created them individually 46c. Gave them their jobs as an efficent way of governing the universe
4713a. Are the Barraki members of species, or are they unique?
48Thank you.
494) Did I say he didn't send them away? You asked if he sent them to Voya Nui. 505) Enhanced 516) Again, not writing a bio of him, so haven't worried about it. I basically have to focus on what is actually going to be touched on in story, because I don't have spare time for anything else 528) My guess would be he defected, which would seem to go along with his being ambitious 539) I would say no. Outside of Nocturn, all the other Pit prisoners beat it 5410) I said there were other continents, did not specify how many. 5511) Probably more islands 5613) All of the above 5713a) Species
58So Mata Nui created the Barraki's various species and gave the six their jobs. It also says that Karzahni sent away Matoran to another location besides Voya Nui (Or Greg thought I meant to the island Voya Nui, not the landmass at the center of the continent).
1Greetings, Greg.
2Just read (and listened to) the BIONICLEstory.com updates, and I must say, they were great. But Into the Darkness caused a few questions to pop up in my head, which I would be very grateful if you could answer.
31. In Into the Darkness, Makuta says that Tuyet might know how to recreate the Nui Stone. Is it even possible to do that, or does Makuta figure that he has nothing to lose by it?
42. The Tryna is only supposed to give artificial life. So technically, Tuyet wouldn't be of any use. But is it possible that the artificial life the mask gives out contains shadows of the subject's former self?
53. Why does Tuyet's Kanohi look slightly familiar to Matoro? Was a description given to him in one of Nuju's tales, perhaps?
6Thanks in advance:
7Cheers, 8Gravitan
9Hey Grav,
101) Okay, well, I will give you a little bit of a hint ... the fragments of what little item do you think might be embedded here and there in Tuyet's armor?
112) You are saying the exact same thing Matoro is going to say in Part 3 -- he can't bring Tuyet's spirit back, and Makuta has to know that, so what is the master of shadows really up to?
123) Yes
13From like two minutes ago. Some pretty interesting stuff here.
14Thanks, Greg:
1I seriously believe Tuyet is the trator of the Barraki....Once Greg told me the traitor (a he or a SHE...) hid the contract in the pit...I mean Toa were part of the Brotherhood arm who defeated the Barraki 80.00years ago and Tuyet was not condemned to the Pit until about 1200yers (or so) back again....I am not sure... but Greg told me when I asked whether the traitor brought the "contract" to the Pit, that "he/she hid it there"However:Makuta wants the Nui stone back:What does the Nui stone do? It sucks all Toa power up into itself wihtin a radius of 3000kios, slowly so that the Toa don't notice it....Now why would Makuta want the Nui stone?Makuta is obviously fine with the Toa Mahri getting the Mask of Light and maybe even using it.So he is also fine with them cutting the cord.If he wanted to use the Nui stone in Mahri Nui or the Pit only the Toa Mahri (and Lesovikk, although he does not know about him) would lose their power. But then again Matoro could not be the destined carrier of the MoLi and Makuta would lose one of his allies....So I Guess Makuta does not want the Nui stone to be used under the sea but maybe later.....There are aroudn 50 Toa in the Matoran universe right now... maybe he wants a) all Toa to be powerless or 
use Toa power to get a new body?
use Toa power to get a new body?1Sorry, Toa of Kenn, but I thought the same thing and PMed Greg about it:
2I was reading through "The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet" when something she said to Lhikan about the League got me thinking...
3Was Tuyet the traitor to the Barraki and left the "contract" there before she perished?
4I mean, I still think a Barraki is more likely, but still...
5No. There were no Toa in the Barraki armies, so a Toa could not have betrayed them to the Brotherhood.
1Here is the latest ont Makuta dn the Nui stone.... number 1 is very interesting:
21) Obviously Makuta wants the Nui stone for some reason. What does the Nui stone do? It sucks up Toa power Nui Stone... Toa power.... Toa Nui??? I know you said a Toa Nui would not be introduced t the storyline at this point but: Could the Nui stone having sucked up the Toa energies of a complete Toa team and thereby combining this power inside of it somehow create a Toa Nui? 31) I'm not going to end up using that term, but you could wind up as powerful as one or more powerful if you could tap into a fully charged stone.
42) Does the fact that Makuta want the Nui stone have to do with the fact that (here I will quote you) " The Ignika in and of itself can't revive Mata Nui? I mean Makuta can't be fine with him dying since the universe would end and his grand scheme would have ultimatively failed. 52) No. Makuta is not planning to take a direct hand in efforts to save Mata Nui.
63) If Makuta got the Nui stone and used it in Mahri Nui or the Pit most likely the Toa energies of the Mahri (plus Lesovikk) would be sucked up into it. Then Makuta would lose his "allies" (regarding to the prologue of BL7)to get him the Mask of Life and Matoro would not be able to be the destined carrier of the MoLi, which in turn would make saving the universe merely impossible right? 73) But the Nui stone does not suck all the energy out of a Toa right away. It drains it slowly and in small amounts, so that you barely notice over time, and it drains all Toa in a huge radius. If it just drained them all dry, then Lhikan and Nidhiki would have had no powers left. Remember, Tuyet had had the stone the entire time she was living in Metru Nui.
84) a)Does the BoM grand scheme at some point need all Toa powerless ? 9or would it be at least a pleasure for Makuta to see the proud heores of the Great Spirit to be powerless; also a sign for the Matoran that they are no longer protected and that the reign of the Great Spirit was not successful? 104) No. If the Plan works, it won't matter how powerful or not powerful the Toa are, they are still going down.
11So with the Nui stone you can create a being as powerful or even more powerful than a Toa Nui? If a Toa Nui might rival a Great Spirit's power.... you would be able to create a being even more powerful than Mata Nui.... as a replacement maybe..... or as a rescue....

1Hello Greg. I was hoping that you could answer these questions for me. 21. Does Botar's small axe have a name? 32. Is Matoro's twin cutter his actual hand? 43. If the staff of Artahka is not on Odina, where is it? 5Thank you.
61) I haven't named it 72) No 83) Follow the story and find out
9Number two is interesting.
61) I haven't named it 72) No 83) Follow the story and find out

1Well after reading the newest instalments I'm a bit puzzled.
21) How come Matoro didn't know about Tuyet? I mean she was his guardian for a long time.
32) When Makuta mentioned her name shouldn't he have remembered about her like Sarda did?
43) How did Makuta know about Tuyet?
54) You told Gravitan that Nuju told Matoro about the Mo Intangibility, how come he didn't tell him about Tuyet?
65) Was the flying DH in the blog Airwatcher?
76) Can we expect a TSO apperance?
87) Does Karzahni remember Lesovikk after he told the story of entering Karzahni?
98) Is it possible that shards of the Nui Stone are in Tuyets armour? How about in Makuta? Or Lhikan's body?
101) True, but don't forget, when the Matoran woke up on Mata Nui, they had lost their memories of Metru Nui. All they know of Metru Nui is what Vakama told them in 2004-2005 storyline and what Matoro heard in councils. If they never discussed Tuyet on Mata Nui, Matoro would not know anything about her.
112) No. Amnesia patients don't automatically remember things just because someone mentions something. Also, Sarda's amnesia was caused by trauma -- Matoro's was caused by the Matoran pods Makuta forced the population of Metru Nui into.
123) Makuta was assigned to oversee Metru Nui for thousands of years.
134) Would you want to repeat that story, about a Toa who went evil and had to be hauled away, especially when speaking to Matoran who need to trust Toa?
145) Yes
156) Yes
167) Not necessarily, because we don't know that Karzahni fought Lesovikk directly. Lesovikk may have only fought his Manas crabs
178) Why would they be in Makuta? Makuta wasn't there when the stone exploded. And it would be pretty pointless story-wise to put them in Lhikan's body, since Lhikan's body isn't anywhere around anymore.
1wow...but where did we learn about toa tuyet? in a blog? or book? sorry ive been 'out' for awhile lol.
1Hello Mr. Farshety, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read this. I was hoping you could answer a few questions for me. (Although it may spoil future storyline, so I'll understand if you can't answer them.)
21. When were the Bahrag and Bohrok created? Was it at the beginning of the universe like everything else, or was it after the Great Caytaclysm so they could one day 'cleanse' Mata Nui?
32. If they were created at the begining of the universe, then what was their original purpose? The island of Mata Nui hadn't been changed by the Great Caytaclysm yet, so why create them?
43. If they were created after the Caytaclysm, then who created them? I thought the Great Beings had left the universe at that time?
5Thank you for your time, goodbye.
61) 100,000 years ago 72) Their original purpose was the same as it is now. They were not created with an eye toward accidental EP leaks 83) They weren't created after the Cataclysm
9Just got these answers back from Greg. They do raise one very picual question though: Why create them if the island of Mata Nui was already barren?
11) before hydraxon died, did he have the breathing tube gills?
22) Since hydraxon thinks everyone is an escaped prisoner and he has all the memories of the original Hydraxon, including, I'm assuming of being in the Hand of Artahka and Order of Mata nui. If Brutaka were still alive and Hydraxon found him down in the pit waters would he think the OoMN sent him to help deal with the escaped prisoners or would Hydraxon think him a prisoner and try to capture him?
33) Does Hydraxon fight anyone in Bionicle Legends#8 besides Nocturn, Makuta and Spinax?
41) No, because he wasn't living in the ocean then. 52) No guarantee Hydraxon ever met Brutaka. His time in the OOMN has mostly been spent down in the Pit. 63) Read the book when it comes out and find out
1Got this stuff:
2Hello, GregF. I wonder if you could answer a few questions for me;
31) In what way will the outside world be affected when Mata Nui dies, and to what magnitude?
42) Will the Bionicle world "restart" itself after Mata Nui dies (including all the catastrophe stuff)?
53) Is there really a Makuta coming out next year? If so, what gender is he/she and what mask does he/she wear?
6Thank you very much, and I hope you have a nice day.
7~Tahufan111
81)Time will tell 92)I don't know what you mean 103)I cannot discuss 2008 sets
112) As in, will life start again, will organisms from the surface world come down and colonize the domes, something like that?
122) No, I don't have plans for that
1Uh by the way... 2just one minor sidenote... but it's somethong that just popped into my mind and I wanted to know the answer:
3I asked Greg: 4The staff of Artakha: is it really an object (staff = a long stick) a or is it a group of beings (staff = workers employed in a business)? 5I mean we have had the Hand of Artakha, whioch of course was not his hand but an organisation helping to protect the order in the universe. 6But I think nobody asked you before about the staff. 7Would be at least a nice twist... the staff being maybe elite Matoran builders from Artakha who were kidnapped kidnapped by the Dark Hunters since they can create powerful objects.... J ( and you said TSO had to sell the staff to equal a debt.... he could have also sold a group of extremely skilled Matoran) Just a thought. 8So let's bring it down to: Is the staff of Artakha an object or not?
9Here is his answer: 10It is an object
11Nothing really important, but it was worth a shot:

1Nothing new, but number three is kind of interesting:
21. Makuta wants Matoro to use his mask on Tuyet. My question is, since the mask fills adead body with artificial life, how can Tuyet tell them about the Nui Stone?
32. Why was Tuyet's mask familiar to Matoro?
4Here's a question not related to Into the darkness:
53. Does Makuta know about the OoMN? Because in BL3, Brutaka told Hewkii about it in the virus chamber, where Makuta was.
61) She can't, that's what makes one wonder what Makuta is up to 72) Most likely he heard about the existence of that mask from Nuju at some point 83) No. He has suspicions, but he also considers Brutaka to be a nutcase, so he's not sure how much he can be relied upon
11. Since there are more than 6 types of Toa and matoran (light, magnetism, plasma, etc.), might there be more types of other things (such as bohrok)?
1And no, there are only 6 types of Bohrok.
1Yes, but he wanted to know if there were different types of Swarms. And since there are only one of each Kal, they don't really count as "types."
1A bunch of Q&A's with Greg. Some very interesting things about the Hand, the Order, the WTFTW and the Toa Mata...
2Hi Greg

32A - The latter
3314) I've read some bits of information about a renegade Makuta here and there. Could you summarize his story for me in a few words?
34A - Refers to the Makuta who tampered with the Skakdi species trying to make them an army for the BOM and failed, then took off so he wouldn't be executed for failure.

70A - Gets revealed later
7133) Where did Lesovikk get his Cordak blaster from?

74A - Biocast
7535) Any chance that we will get original Bionicle Legends#7 content?

86A - Same answer
87Thanks for taking the time to answer

1QUOTE 2Hi Greg. I was hoping you could answer these questions for me. 31. Hydraxon has explosive boomerangs. When they explode, does he have more? or do they somehow return? 42. In Into the Darkness, Maxilos/Makuta tells Matoro to use his mask on Tuyet to get some information. I thought his mask only filled the body with artificial life and not true life? 53. Who is your favorite Titan set this year? 64. How many chapters are there to Into the Darkness, Dreams of Distruction, and the Toa Nuva Blog? 75. Who is winning in the Kardas VS. the Bohrok fight? 86. What are the Vortixx doing about Tahtorahk?
9Thank you.
101) I have them return, yes 112) You are correct, which opens the question of what Makuta is really up to 123) Hydraxon, I guess 134) 10 for the blog and serial, 9 for the podcast 145) I haven't dealt with it yet 156) What would you expect them to be doing?
16Number two I think, Someone already asked.

1Greetings, Greg.
2Just one quick question here for you.
3You recently said that Maxilos was not the only guard robot in the Pit. Does this imply there were more robots identical to Maxilos, or were they all different to one degree or another?
4Cheers, 5Gravitan
6My guess would be they were mass-produced, and so pretty much the same
