1I just a few questions today
21)Will the toa marhi ever meet Lesovikk? 32)You said that if you combine 2 masks/disks, you get a totally different power, is the power some what guessalbe/predictable, or completely random? 43)In the Mask of light movie (in the begining when they show the Makuta stone unleashing his shadows on Mata nui) there was a part of the island (northwest part to be exact) that wasn't touched by his shadows, why is that so?
5Thank you for your time :)

6your soposed to ask questions through pm and post the awnsers here ;)

23)It's just a metaphorical demonstration, not the real thing. What it means is Makuta giving evil and despair to the Matoran.

11Well to give you a better answer for number two, the power created by combining two disks is not random. There is a definate power that each combination creates. Greg actually has compiled a list of known disk combinations, located here.

1I'm sorry to bother you so soon, but to me, these questions need to be answered (except for the last one).


21. Did the traitor actually hide the contract, did he just leave it there and forget about it, or did he drop it as the Pit broke?
32. Does the traitor know where the contract is? If not, does he have any idea?
43. Does Mantax know where all the other Barraki's jail cells are?
54. About how long has Mantax been searching? Did he start very soon after he escaped, or did he wait a few hundred years or something?
65. Were the Barraki always confined to their cells in the Pit? Were they ever allowed out for things like recreation or the mess hall?




71) He hid it and then forgot to retrieve it when the quake hit, and it got buried. 82) He would have a general idea, because it was hidden in his cell. 93) Yes, of course he does 104) It has taken Mantax a while to put two and two together, so he has only been searching for a short while 115) No. You don't get those kind of freedoms in the Pit. You're there because you're the slime of the universe, and you have forfeited any rights you might have had.


12Okay, thanks. But one more question: Mantax has not searched all of the Barraki's jail cells throughly, has he?

13Mantax has, by now, found what he is looking for.

1Hi, Greg: 2I hope you could answer these questions... 31) Can Jaller 'boil' the water in the environment he is in now, creating water vapour which would be poisonous to the water-breathers? 42) Can Jaller use his chain and mimic Karzahni's flaming chains? 53) What is Nuparu's toa tool? 63a) Does it fire anything? The toyfair description said it fired shock waves or something... 74) Can a toa of fire absorb heat of an object, freezing it like what a toa of ice could do? 85) What was so special about Iruini's spear? Any Toa of Air could create cyclones, right? 96) What powers do the zyglak's staffs have? 107) A new member recently came up with a very detailed theory on the physics of Bionicle. The member suggested that energised protodermis is like a 'computer', with output to Mata Nui (after a being comes into contact with it) and input, receiving info from him (if the being is destined to transform). Would you agree with his theory? 118) Just a random question, did lego plan for energised proto even in 2001? Or did they come up with the idea only in 2002?
12Thanks, Greg :)pirakahakann


131) He can boil water in a localized area 142) I would say no, it would melt 153) I am not discussing the Mahri Toa tools yet 164) Yes, Vakama did that in 2004, I believe 175) Where did we say it was particularly special? 186) I am saving this in case the Zyglak story actually goes online on BZP 197) But if that's the case, how has it been working all this time he has been asleep? Doesn't make sense to me. 208) The plan for the substance existed, but the name did not until 2002


21Thanks, Greg: 22Hope you don't mind if I ask a few more questions... 231) Does Jaller have certain knowledge on Kanohi masks ever since he returned to Metru Nui? 242) Does the Toa Terrain crawler really "repair damage to a toa's mask and armor"? 253) How many rahi can Kongu summon at one time? 264) Does the Hahnah crab have any natural tools? 274a) If so, what are they? 285) Why does Matoro have to remain loyal to Makuta, despite Makuta's plan obviously being against his will? 296) Does Makuta use any of his own powers while in Maxilos with the toa mahri? 307) How much air can a Toa Mahri withstand before passing out? 318) Can a being hide from the Kanohi Arthron by hiding behind a wall?
32Thanks again, Greg: :)pirakahakann


331) What kind of knowledge? 342) Yes 353) Multiple Rahi 364) I don't have the set, so reluctant to comment 375) Because if Matoro exposes him, Makuta will kill him -- or else, the Toa Mahri will have to go into battle with Makuta right then, and by the time they are done (if they survive) Mata Nui will have died 386) Yes 397) About as much as the average large fish 408) I believe so, yes


41Thanks, Greg :)1) Knowledge of mask powers, how they work, etc.Does Jaller know such things? 42And just a few new questions: 431) Does Jaller at any instance successfully use his elemental power underwater? 442) When did he do that? 453) Is Jaller pretty much helpless since he cannot use much of his elemental power underwater?
46Thanks again, Greg: 47Pirakahakann


481) He knows the functions of those he has seen used. Remember, the Toa Metru lived in Metru Nui but didn't know what their Great Masks did. 492) He uses his elemental powers in the books, yes 503) No. Use of his elemental power exhausts him, but he can still use it. We have, in our world, torches that can burn underwater, so why wouldn't his power be able to work there as well?


51Thanks yet again, Greg :) 52Just two more questions: 531) So, Jaller's elemental power is just as effective underwater as it is on land, except for the fact that it exhausts him, right? 542) Can melted masks still function well?
55Thanks:


561) Yes 572) I don't understand your question. If you are wearing a mask and I melt part of it, it won't work at all anymore. In general, Kanohi cease to work if they are damaged.


58Guess that settles the underwater fire problems :)
#9569
11, At the time of "The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet", was Dume being Impersonated by Makuta? 21) No. MDTT takes place before the Toa-Dark Hunter War, and the war itself was about 1700 years before the Brotherhood rebelled. Makuta only took Dume's place a short time before the events of the second movie.
#9570
1Some new stuff from Greg.
2Hello, I just have a few questions for you today.
31. Does Nuparu Mahri's shield give off shockwaves, or was that false?
42. On Hydraxon what are the back blades? Are they those blades by his head? I just got the set and that's all that setwise it looks like they could be.
53. Just curious, who's your favorite Doctor from Doctor Who? Mine's the Ninth.
64. On a related note, have you ever considered playing the Doctor Who RPG that's under Completely Off Topic? I just started playing, and it should get good.
75. Did you think of any other names to use as your display name? On another Forum that I've been recently using that's about an old show called Portal, the creator is on there. His show was cancelled with I think one day notice to film the last episode and ty up all the loose ends. Where am I going with this? His name in real life is Dave Meinstein (sp). His display name is SirDave or maybe Sir Dave. Did you ever consider anything like that? Sir Greg sounds good to me for some reason.
8Thank you for your time.

91) I don't recall ever writing that it did 102) I don't have the set, so can't comment on that 113) Ninth is good, but I have a soft spot for the fourth, since he is the first one I ever watched. 124) No, I don't have the time. 135) No, I am happy with it as it is.

#9571
11. If Sarda had been on Voya Nui, would he have known the piraka were not toa?
22. Is Vezon still in the stone cord with the Zyglak?
33. What did the Zyglak do with Vezon after they captured him?
44. Does Vezon still have the broken spear of fusion?
55. Who has the advantage in a fight, Nocturn or the 6 Piraka?

61) Probably 72) Yes 83) Hasn't been revealed yet 94) It's not broken anymore, it was able to repair itself using its own power 105) Well, Nocturn is stronger than any of them individually, but he is also outnumbered. They could use their armies to wear him down and then finish him off themselves.
#9572
1QUOTE 2Hi Greg. Just have a few questions I was hoping you could answer. 31. I heard that when they come out again, the Toa Nuva will still be called Toa Nuva. Is this true? 42. Do we see the Piraka in their mutated forms in the comics? 53. Can the mask of detection find things other than the mask of life. Like if Toa Inika Hahli lost her harpoon, could she use her mask to find it? 64. In your blog, Lewa says something like: ######. Is this him saying a bad word? or is it something else.

71) Yes 82) No, because they do not exist in those forms as sets. 93) Not that we know of, no 104) Lewa is saying a word that is a pretty standard insult. It is not an obscenity or something that people would usually even get punished for saying. But BZP has a very strict filter to try to cut down on any kind of flaming, and I respect that. I really wish people were not so obsessed with this one word in the story as it really is a waste of their time

11When I asked number 4, the question kinda came out wrong. I was just curious.
#9573
1Hi Greg. You probably can't answer the majority of these questions, but I'll ask anyway. I'm having a bad day and I really need some answers. :)
21. Is the WtFtW underneath or in close proximity to Artahka? 32. Has Artahka (the being) been to or know where the WtFtW? 43. Will Artahka ever meet the new Karzahni in person? 54. Can Karzahni breathe air or is he stuck down there? 65. If there is going to be Brutaka next year, does that mean there will also be Karzahni and Piraka? 76. Will any Barraki make appearances next year? 87. About a year or two ago I asked if Lego would be attempting to publish Bionicle books to the adult audiences with more detailed books, longer and with more character development. You replied that it was being discussed at Lego HQ. Has there been a conclusion to this or is this still under development? I'd love to see better books (not saying the current ones aren't, but because they are based for kids, there is so much lacking because younger kids can simply not comprehend all of the more adult stuff (like death, violence, relationships, and character development)). 98. Can you tell me about when Krakua became a Toa? Was it during 2006, 2007, or early 2008? 109. Is Shadows in the Skies referring to beings or a object in the sky? 1110. Compared to the Pit, how big is the Swamp of Secrets? 1211. Will we ever see Dekar again? 1312. Do you know if the 2008 villains will be released this winter or next summer? I'm just curious. And would you say around October we'll get some new 08 news?
14Thanks. :)


151) Neither 162) He does know where it is, hasn't been there personally 173) I doubt it 184) Right now, he is a water breather 195) Brutaka is not in the story next year. I have no room for him. 206) No 217) It's not something Scholastic is interested in doing. Bookstores see this as a kids' series, so they have no interest in adult-style books for it. Fact is, the teen-adult audience for BIONICLE is extremely small, and given that the current books are not selling great, it's hard to make an argument for putting another series out to appeal to an audience that largely doesn't exist. 228) Can't answer it 239) It's referring to shadows 2410) Oh, much bigger than the Pit 2511) As Dekar? I can't answer that 2612) Both

279. I meant what was creating the shadows? Like if an airplane flies low enough, it will create a shadow on the ground.


289) Sorry, can't discuss that

29Some very interesting stuff.

2Number 9 interested me. Unless we see some new blokes who can control shadows, it probably refers to a Makuta or more, since they'r ethe only ones we've seen that can control shadows.

3Yes... :blink: 4Intresting... It's a cool idea. 5However Greg might mean not canister sets. So a big villan on January but with only toa heroes. 6I hope that the first idea is right.
#9580
1You could pass this on to the set team if you think it's a good idea. 2I think Titans should come in a large canister maybe? It might atract more attention than a box. :shrugs: It might be something to think about. 3BFN
4Not sure if that's feasible or not. Would probably come down to the cost of doing a larger canister like that and the amount of shelf space it would take up. Canisters are deeper than boxes, so you can't get as many on a shelf. 5--BufFooN

1Hi GregF,
2I have some questions, I was hoping you could help me out:
31. I read something about a reboot in 2009? Can you explain this to me? What will be rebooted? 4In what way?
52a. You told someone Brutaka won't appear in 2008, cause you have no room for him. There will be a reboot in 2009. So, does that Brutaka won't return in the storyline again? Never ever?
62b. Is Brutaka dead?
73. Can you give me the name of the November set combiner? (Storyline-name.)
84. The following question is regarding wich Barraki is the traitor. (That betrayed the others.)
9Please anwer with "NO" OR "could be":
10Pridak 11Carapar 12Ehlek 13Calmah 14Takadox 15Mantax
165. Can you ask Binkmeister when the next online stories will be online? I PM'ed him 3x by now, and I read somewhere the site gets updated with new stories once in two weeks.
17Thanks for your time.

181) I can't discuss this 192a) I can't say "never, ever" because there is always the possibility of him appearing in web-only stories, as Lesovikk did this year 202b) I doubt it 213) Nope 224) Sorry, not going to do this. I am not giving out any hints on this, people will find out when Book 8 comes out 235) They will be up as fast as he can get them up. Right now, we are up to date as far as what I am owed him in terms of material, so now it is a matter of getting it ready for posting.


24Let's hope Brutaka shows up on the web sometime. And soon enough we are going to see a new chapter of Gali Nuva's Blog, Dreams of Destruction and hopefully Into the Darkness:
#9582
1Hi Greg:
2I'd like to know the following about the Brotherhoods master plan:
31) Is the BoM trying to use the Dark Hunters to kill the Toa? Your enemys enemy is, afterall, your friend. 42) Can anyone stop the plan, or has It being at work for a long time now? 53) Do it have anything to do with the Toa Nuva? 64) If/when the plan is completed, what would the Brotherhood then do? 75) Did the Makuta from 01-07 made the plan all by himself, or was it a groupjob? 86) Do the Great Beings know about it?
9Thanks for your time:


101) No. The BOM don't need any help to kill Toa, and are occupied with killing the DH themselves right now. 112) Anything can be stopped. 123) Follow the story and find out 134) I can't answer this 145) No, it was primarily his plan 156) No. The Great Beings are no longer in this universe and have no idea what is happening here.


16This... Is... Indeed... Scary:

3He misunderstood what I asked. I meant canister baddies, like Barraki, and he took it as all of them. So he answered my question, yes, we'll be getting canister villains in December, but we'll also be getting Titan villains in the summer. :)

2Not really. How do you know which names were the villains? I've seen the list, there were ** names, but I've heard of a **. Still, ** could be small sets, ** could be villains, and ** could be heroes. Could it be possible we saw different lists?
3Just some edits, in case those are spoilers. Really sorry, guys:
#9586
1Lego has given up with that many small sets a year. And it's easy to tell which are the villians. They all sound alike and are close in set number.
#9587

2Then why are the '08 spoilers removed in the mix. Greg also did confirm earlier that something to do with sets was going to change.
#9589
1What are you talking about? Having '08 spoilers removed in the mix doesn't really change the fact that there are 6 villians in the mix, which makes it most likely false.

2You're forgetting that the leaked names also had prices attached to them on the original website. Six were 4.99 Euros, Six were 10.99 Euros each, and the standalone was 17.99 Euros. It proves that there will be six small sets and six canisters
3And have we forgotten that we're not supposed to name names?

#9593
1STOP talking about leaked sets:
2Hello, Greg. I've been wondering about a few things for a while now, and would be just like to know if you could answer them.
31. In the Official New BIONICLE Books Topic, it states that "Interestingly, at this point, the residents of Artakha are the only ones who even know where the place is:" when talking about the World That Feeds the World. When I asked for a source, I was told one could not be found. So, I was wandering if you could perhaps verify this for me. 42. Where did all this talk about a "reboot" spawn from? Is it just a fan rumor (Somebody thought it would be cool, and not a lot of people think it'll happen), or was this stated somewhere officially? 53. And just out of interest, are Bionicle novels classified as Science Fiction or Fantasy?


61) That's not accurate. There are beings who live there, and they obviously know where it is. 72) What I have spoken about publicly is that at some point, we are planning a radical new direction for BIONICLE that will make it easier for new fans to jump in, but which will still flow out of the old story and contain things old fans will appreciate. That has been mutated by the old "telephone game" on BZP into the idea of a reboot. 83) Amazon classifies them as science fiction, for whatever that is worth to you

9Eh, I just wanted to know where the first two came from, and the third question was simply out of boredom and interest.

1Just some new questions, all important:
2Hello Greg, how It's going? I just read the newest comic, and some questions popped on my Head:
31) What was the reason of the Ignika going dark, just It's way to tell that Mata Nui was dead? 41a) It's the Ignika going to be black all next year unless something happens? 51b) It's still usable while It's in this color?
62) Is the emotional end going to appear in next comic? 72a) The same but with next year setting/characters
83) Just wondering-- Are you going to put the next year Villain name in the Nuva Blog, or It will be just described?
9Thanks beforehand Greg, :):n: :i: :g: :h: :t:


101) Yes, it's symbolic 111a) I can't discuss 2008 story 121b) Yes
132) Yes
143) Most likely, I will, just because I may have to to avoid confusion

#9598
1Very interesting info on the Nuva Blog. Also, I correctly guessed the Staff of Artahka's power. Comic Ten Spoilers.
2Hey Greg, just finished reading Ignition #10, the Serials, and Into the Darkness all at once. The twist at the end of ItD really blew me away.
31)How on earth is the Staff of Artahka going to go all the way to the bottom of the ocean? Is the next place the Nuva need to go somewhere near the Pit?
42)So, is the reason that Makuta wanted Matoro to reanimate Tuyet is so he could just get the fragments more easily?
53)I'm gonna take a guess at the SoA's power(since it is assoicated with Artahka, who makes things): Can it recreate anything, so long as it has a fragment of the object to work with?
64)Will there be more serials next year, with different characters? I always thought a Piraka serial would be cool...
75)I just want to confirm this: the emotional tragedy at the end of 07 is niether Mata Nui dying nor Voya Nui crashing Mahri Nui?
86)I Ignition #10, it says that the matoran of bth islands were safe. What about Axonn?
97)Are they above water?


108)Will Axonn or Hydraxon appear in 08 as cameos?
11Thanks for answering Greg. Keep up the good work:
12-TBC


131) Hee hee hee .. you are assuming someone doesn't beat them to it .. :) 142) Yes. Otherwise, he would have to be digging in the mud to find all her pieces. 153) Oh, very good 164) There most likely will be more serials, since they seem to be popular. 175) Bingo
186) Yes, he's with them 197) Nope

208) Too soon to know


21Looks like the Nuva have some more searching to do.

24Wow...good guessing. Number 1 is interesting perhaps that person might be hinted at in the blog or bio cast... 25Good thing about the serials returning (well PROBABLY returning) too. 26I also found No.8 interesting, does that mean we don't know if they die, too early to tell us or he doesn't know himself?
