1actually it's two sets, Icarax and one we have not heard anything about at all. so that quote may be from the third titan winter set.
11) Avak and Zaktan together created a lava monster. Was it only a unliving puppet, did Thok used his special power alongside with them, or do they have a power of life? 22) Can you at last explain what was this two-headed Matoran? An ill Matoran? http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/8/8b/Weird2.JPG 33) What use is a Miru for Lewa now that he has a jet-pack? Does it is used as a parachute? 44) Will the Toa Nuva switch masks sometime in 2008? 55) Which forces can the Order rely on? I mean, do they largely outnumber the Makuta? And do they have some armies? Army of robots, rahi... Because a dozen Axonn wouldn't be a match for all the Visorak and Rahkshi armies. 66) You said that the BoM has a way to keep the world not fully destroyed. So if the Order attack them, re they choosing total anihilation rather than Makuta's domination? I mean, like Krakua said to Vakama? 77) As I understood, Silver Kanohi are canon but not used in the storyline? 88) Very hypoteticaly: three Kanohi can be traded for one silver, six for one golden... So it is possible to trade two silver for one golden? I mean if the silver ones have no common power. 99) Was the spear of fusion destroyed by Jaller Inika or Mahri?
10Thank you for all:
111) It was unliving 122) Far as I know, it may simply have been drawn in such a way that there are two Matoran there and you cannot see the body of the second. 133) Allows for greater maneuverability in the air 144) I don't plan on doing that, no, because the masks do not come in all six colors this year and there's no point in showing them that way if they aren't available in plastic 155) I can't answer this at this time 166) Depends on how successful the attack is and what has gone before it. 177) No, they never appeared in story to my knowledge, beyond the one worn by a Toa Kaita. 188) Hypothetically, I suppose 199) Inika
201) Oops, I meant Avak and Hakann 212) A two-headed Matoran would have frightened me. 227) I'll ask for complementary information
23Oh, do we have an official "Invasion" topic to put all the facts we get?
2Wait; did Greg just say that there's another Makuta coming out in the next wave that we still don't know about? Is this new info? Am I reading this totally wrong cuz it's 1:30am??
3No, we've known for a while that more Makuta will be released late 08
4Greg said WINTER one. That must mean that winter titan we've not known yet.
5From the post right above yours:69) Will the other villain canister sets in 08 be Makuta?
79) Yes, for the most part
8That's CANISTER sets, though, Adventurer. Greg said it's an unknown winter set, and since the other three canister Makuta won't be out till August, it's not a cantister set he's referring to. So we get five Makuta this winter: Chirox, Antroz, Vamprah, Icarax and the unknown one.
1Found some stuff on Elements and Light: Don't know if anyone else has asked these questions:
2QUOTE 3Hi again, if its ok could I ask you a few more questions.
41. Is the Great Being who toughed the Mask of Life and went mad still alive and if so were would he be.
52. Are the other Turaga from Jovan's team still alive?
63. Are there any plans for Vezon to appear in any future media?
74. Are there any more elemental powers other than the ones we already know?
85. Is it possible that are/were more Toa who could control light, or is this a power that only a Toa with the Avohkii can control?
9Sorry If these questions have been asked before.
101) Yes, he is, and he's with the other GBs 112) Probably 123) Not at the moment, no 134) Yes 145) There are no other Toa of Light at the moment, because no other Av-Matoran have become Toa. Doesn't mean it can't happen, just that it has not up to this point.
15Cool: I didn't think you can have more than one Toa of Light: (Didn't it say that in the legends?)
11-I've heard that there will be a female Makuta next summer. Will she be a canister set or titan. 22-Do you know What Icarax's mask is(other than the Kraakahn)? If so, what is it?
31) Canister 42) Since he is not wearing any other mask in story besides that, I had no reason to come up with another one for him.
5Wow, a female Makuta in a canister:

1QUOTE 2Hi Greg, I thought I'd ask you a few questions I've been thinking about for a fairly long time. Specifically about Legacy of Evil.
31: Has the Toa of the Green ever had or will ever have a name in particular?
42: Was the Toa of the Green actually killed by the frostelus who raided the fortress? The book says 'all but one [Lhikan of the Toa in the tower that day' were killed but doesn't mention ToG, who was outside knocked out cold on a rock some distance away. Could this mean he is still alive?
53: Did/does the ToG have wings? I made an MOC of him with wings, that's all. And it makes sense with him being a sentry.
64: What mask power did/does the ToG have?
75: Are there any other Toa/Matoran with the element of vegetation?
86: Is the Toa in stasis of a known element? If so, which one?
97: Will we ever see this Toa again?
10Thanks in advance.
111) Probably not. Since that particular Toa is dead, not much point in taking a name off the approved list for him. 122) No, he's dead. 133) No. 144) I didn't bother to come up with one for him, since he wasn't going to use it in story. 155) Oh, sure 166) I haven't decided 177) I haven't decided

1Howdy Mr. Farshtey...I have a few more questions for you.
21)I can't remember, is the terrible thing that would happen if the Av-Matoran all died worse then, or not as bad as if Mata-Nui died?
32)You say all the time that Artakha is not a warrior because the olny battle he ever fought was with Karzahni, but Karzahni isn't exactly a pushover. Is it possible that Karzahni was weaker back then?
43)My theory about the Red Star is that it is the power source for all Toa energy. Is this close?
54)In Into the Darkness (I think thats the one) it says at the end of the Makuta/Karzahni battle that Makuta grabbed Karzanhi's mind with his own and tore it apart, or something to that affect. Does this mean that Karzahni will basically be mentally disabled when Lesovikk and co. catches up to him? 64a)If so then is the damage permanent?
75)Is the Toa Ignika good, bad (doubt it),or neutral?
86)You seem to imply that there is some way to supercharge the MoLi to save Mata-Nui, yet you have said that having a way to revive people from the dead is bad because it takes away the point of someone dying. So is the supercharge method something that can olny be done once? Or mabey something that can olny be done for Mata-Nui?
97)Some Rahi (according to the sets) can wear multiple masks, so if one was wearing an infected mask and a krana at once which one win out in controling the rahi? 107a)How bout an infected mask and a Toa using a mask of mind control? 117b )A Krana vs. Toa with a mask of mind control?
12I understand if you can't answer some of these. Thanks a bunch.
131) Not as bad 142) No, but I don't see winning one fight as making you a warrior. You can win one fight by luck. 153) Not to my knowledge, no. The Toa do not, so far as I know, have an external power source, their power comes from within themselves 164) No, just mad. 175) I can't answer this 186) It is not something that would work for anyone but Mata Nui. 197) Probably the infected mask, because Makuta's will is stronger than any krana's 207a) Again, it would come down to willpower, and Makuta's is stronger than an average Toa. 217b) Hard to say. Would probably depend on the Toa and how skilled he was with the mask. My guess is a Toa would not attempt to sway someone wearing a krana like that, because two conflicting sets of orders could wind up breaking the mind of the person you are trying to save.
221)Okey dokey.
232)Still he must have at least some slight power. You would certainly need a whole heck of a lot of luck to beat someone like Karzahni if you weren't much stronger then a Matoran. 243)I'm suprized he answered this one at all, but his answer makes sence. 254)Mad as in angry, or insane...because he was already insane. 265)I expected as much 276)Ahhhhhh...The plot thickens: 287)Makes sence. 297a)So I suppose it could happen with a Toa with very strong willpower. 307b)That doesn't sound like a great idea 
31I find six very interesting. :psychotwich:
2Wait; did Greg just say that there's another Makuta coming out in the next wave that we still don't know about? Is this new info? Am I reading this totally wrong cuz it's 1:30am??
3No, we've known for a while that more Makuta will be released late 08
4But he said winter. Winter is the early 2008 wave. No more Makuta canisters till late 2008 wave. And he said "the one," as in, one, not the 3 later in the year.
1Hi Greg. I've been keeping close tabs on the OGD lately, and someone asked some interesting questions.
21. If Mantax is searching for the betrayal of the League of Six Kingdoms, then that pretty much rules him out, leaving five Barraki left, right? 32. Let me analyse the other five Barraki:
4Pridak: Leader of the Barraki. Doubtful that he would have not thought that their plan would not work, especially knowing his thoughts before the BoM attack. But he used to work for the BoM, so he could have easily led the other five into a trap.
5Ehlek: He felt like the outsider among the Barraki, since he felt vulnerable about being the only one to breathe water. And he acted jittery while going over the charts, but they percieved it as just nerves. Could it have been something else? Could he have felt like the other five would kick him out of their alliance after they had won?
6Kalmah: Since he shows little-to-no emotion, this one is hard to read. He seemed to think that Toa were no problem when they were planning millenia ago, and he made a deal with Jaller and Kongu to get rid of Pridak, so could he not have made a similar deal thousands of years ago?
7Takadox: Hmmmm... He seemed to think that he could add MoMN to his list of allies, so he could have made a deal with them, figuring that he could have hypnotised them into obeying him, and then he would have no need of the others. And he was the one to notice what Mantax was doing, and he told Kalmah exactly what Mantax was doing, as if he almost expected it. How would he know what Mantax was doing? Hmmmm indeed...
8Carapar: His army was the last to arrive. What if he had taken a detour to a BoM base to show them where their fortress was? And when they were planning, he added nothing, because he had nothing better to suggest. Could that have been because he knew that the BoM were about to arrive? He was the one to rush over to the window, maybe to see if it had worked? And Kalmah wasn't the only Barraki to make a deal with Jaller and Kongu. Like Takadox observed, he's not as dumb as he looks. And he was even smarter (or at least, thought faster) back then.
9All in all, you have created five characters with their own reasons for betrayal. I commend you on this thought provoker. Do you have any comments for the above profiles? You ought to know my guess, too... 103. Is Protosteel the Bionicle equivalent to a diamond? 114a. How many chapters of DoD, GNB, and ItD will there be by the end of the year? 124b. For clarity, in which chapter of DoD will the Karzahni trap be in? The Lesovikk team flashback? 134c. GNB: By which chapter will they be in Artakha? 144d. ItD: The end of the Brutaka/MoMn fight? 155. Is it just me, or are there more reptiles and arachnids as Rahi then anything else?
16Thank you for your time.
171) Right 182) I am not going to comment -- answer will get revealed when Bionicle Legends #8 comes out 193) Or adamantium 204a) Biocast is 9, the rest are 10 214b) I don't keep track of individual chapter numbers 224c) They don't get to Artakha in the blog, they get there in Book 8 234d) Same answer 245) Well, when we did the Rahi contest a few years ago, most fans made scorpions, so I guess people just like insects and such.
253. Better as adamantium, since if you heat a diamond to 1,405*F, it will sublime (turn into vapor.) [img]http://www.bzpower.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif[/img] 264. Anyone ask this yet?
27I think he was referring to the mystery set. Odd, we have one Makuta for 7 years, and then one year there are at least 8 more.
28
11) Can Icarax be called a Phantoka, along with the "unknown winter titan" and the three "canister villains"? 21) Yes
3jetslandingboard
4This must mean that Icarax can fly... good job on finding that out:
5That's Pretty obvious (that he can fly) for two reasons(or more
). 61. He's a shapeshifter 72. He's in the January '08 story
8~L~
1QUOTE 2Hi Greg, I have some questions again.
31: Are the Phantoka Makuta holding Kraata mutations inside those pods?
42: Did TSO's Fortress actually turn to dust after ItD? 52b: If so, what happened to the Toa in stasis?
63: Earlier this year you mentioned Metru Nui having some new matoran. Are these matoran those of Karzahni?
74: What are the Barraki doing while ItD is happening?
85: At the current time in the storyline, has Kopeke been made Chronicler yet?
96: Is the ending of the last Mahri game (where Matoro wears the Ignika) canon?
107: Is there a specific reason why the Ignika worn by Toa Ignika is silver?
118: Does the Barraki traitor have any idea that Mantax is trying to find out who it is? 128b: Has there ever been a direct reference to who the traitor is?
139: Is the Toa Ignika anyone we have seen before in storyline?
1410: Does the Mantax, Matoro etc. combo have a name? 1510b: Will it only be seen this year?
1611: Where is Nocturn at the moment?
1712: Are you ready to release any information about the picture (with a bohrok and Balta, and a Hau in the background) in the Bionicle World Encyclopedia? 1812b: If not, when do you think you would?
1913: So in Winter 07/Spring 08 are the Makuta sets just Vamprah, Chirox, Antroz, Icarax and an unseen one? Are there any more? 2013b: Are Icarax and the unknown Makuta the only early 08 sets we have not seen pictures of? 2113c: Are those two still called Phantoka?
2214: In Swamp of Secrets, are all six Nuva united, or are they apart? 2314b: Is this book about both groups of Nuva? 2414c: In early 08, do we only hear about Kopaka, Lewa and Pohatu, or do we get to know what Tahu, Gali and Onua are doing at the same time?
25Thanks in advance.
261) You'll find out in 2008 272) Yes 282a) Nothing happened. If were in a stasis tube, and a bunch of dust fell on it, is it likely it would break? 293) I would need to know the context of what I said and what it was in response to, because at that time I had no plans to send the Karzahni Matoran to Metru Nui. 304) They are doing what they are doing in Book 7. 315) No. He doesn't get made Chronicler until the Turaga learn Hahli became a Toa. 326) I can't discuss future storyline 337) Yes, because the set designer made it that way. 348) Time will tell 358b) Do you mean did I state someplace already who the traitor is? No. 369) See answer to #1 3710) Yes, and yes 3811) Where he is at the end of Book 7 3912) No 4012b) It will make sense next year 4113) Not to my knowledge 4213b) Not sure what you have seen pics of and what you haven't 4313c) Yes 4414) Why do you think I would answer questions about a summer '08 book?

8You can rule out Ehlek too, since in Bionicle Legends #6 he went to Pridak's cave with the intention of finding out who had betrayed them. Carapar went with him, but I wouldn't rule him out, since he might've been waiting to find the incriminatory info to destroy it. 9Khote
1Hi Greg 2A few more questions
31- Could the bahrag create new kal
42- Is there a connection between Lesovikk and Hahli setwise because Hahli has got some lime-green and Lesovikk has got her mask in Lime-green? Did they originally planned to give Hahli a Lime-green faxon?
53- So the only confirmed organic stuff that toa/matoran posses are: lungs and muscels? Am I right? 63b- When the toa mata arrived at the island of mata nui they where in pieces right? 73c- If yes to 3b did that mean that they hadn't had any organic stuff at the time?
84- the tryna works like this: you can turn some dead body in to a servant as long as you keep your concentration. Am I right?
95- Will Tuyet 's mask name ( I mean hau, garai, faxon or something like that ) be revealed next year?
106- Does the sanok only supports throwing or does it also supports zamor launchers and cordak blasters?
117- Can zyglak speak matoran?
128- Can a toa have wings by rebuilding himself or some thing else?
13That's all for now
141) Yes 152) I have no info on this, that sort of thing is decided by the set designers in Denmark. I do story only. 163) Only confirmed, yes 173b) Yes 183c) No, because if you recall the first animation, Onua's head was attached to his torso (which contained his lungs), and one arm was attached, so there was muscle tissue attaching that arm to his torso. As pieces got added, new muscle tissue grew to attach those pieces. 194) You can reanimate a body as long as you maintain concentration, the same way any other mask power works. 205) I don't plan to have Tuyet in story next year, so no idea. 216) Pretty much anything you would aim with 227) They know the language, but rarely choose to speak it. 238) No. I don't want to turn them into shapeshifters.

2I doubt that there is a connection. They probably didn't want to make another mask, so they just made a different color.
3=`BaD
11. Are next year's evil canister sets working for Icarax or the rest of the BoM?
22. Do you know if Onua is still a hunchback?
33. Do next year's Makutas wear unique masks like the Kraakhan, or more common masks like Haus?
44. Do next year's Makutas have the ability to shapeshift? If so, to what extent?
55. What's your favorite evil canister set next year?
61) They are working for the Makuta of Metru Nui 72) I can't discuss summer sets 83) Neither, they are wearing new masks 94) The winter ones do, yes. 105) In terms of set or story?
113. I meant, since MoMN wears a mask that's one-of-a-kind, do these other Makutas wear one-of-a-kind masks? 125. Both.
133) Possible, but hasn't been established yet 145) Set is Vamprah, at this point, story is one of the summer ones
1Do we know if the summer sets are Makuta and Toa nuva
1Hello Greg, here are my questions:
21. if Mata-Nui was awakened in Mask of Light, why didn't the Toa ever talk to him (or her) before he died? Or were they just in the process of awakening him. 32.when can we expect a release date for the 4th Bionicle movie? 43. Can only a certain person wear the Ignika without dying? 54. If the Brotherhood/Dark Hunter was has been going on for a long time, is it still taking place? 65. Why do the Toa seem to go to a new island every year? 76. Were the Bohrok ever mentioned in Bionicle Legends#7? 88. Will 2008 start with a new Bionicle book series or will it still be Bionicle Legends? 99. Are there any plans for a Bionicle videogame in 2008? 1010. For some odd reason i remember seeing a picture of the vahi in the comic where it was first introduced and there was another mask that was white and looked sortof like Nuju Metrus mask with the bottom of Vakama (turagas) mask going down the scope of the mask. was there ever a mask like this or was it a prototype or is there no such thing. if there was such a mask, why was it never introduced to the storyline? 1111. Is there any chance that we will get to see the rahkshi or bohrok again in the future?
12Thanks
1But it's a winter set we haven't seen yet; meaning it's either Icarax or that other unknown set. We've seen all other winter sets.
2-Ikk
3I misread what the person above was asking because they misread what I said
\ 4Do we know if the summer sets are Makuta and Toa nuva
5The Nuva have been confirmed. As for the villins, Greg wont tell us yet.
6~CN
79) Will the other villain canister sets in 08 be Makuta?
89) Yes, for the most part
1Hello Greg, here are my questions:
21. if Mata-Nui was awakened in Mask of Light, why didn't the Toa ever talk to him (or her) before he died? Or were they just in the process of awakening him. 32.when can we expect a release date for the 4th Bionicle movie? 43. Can only a certain person wear the Ignika without dying? 54. If the Brotherhood/Dark Hunter was has been going on for a long time, is it still taking place? 65. Why do the Toa seem to go to a new island every year? 76.

13Rapter, Greg rarely reads this topic, try PMing him your questions by going to the very first page.
1ME 2Sorry to bother you again but I have some more questions.
31.)"Gali can combine forces with Lewa to unleash a powerful thunder storm." 4Is this true? Does this work with all toa of air and water? Can they control where the lightning hits?
52.)Can a toa of air fly/glide without a mask of levitation/glider just useing their elemental powers? 6If not why?
73.)From wikipidia "Takanuva has been experimenting with such abilities as light-speed movement (similar to Umbra) and the projection of holographic illusions, but has not yet put them into practice." 8is this true or a lie?
94.) from wikipedia. "Axonn's abilities range far and wide and have yet to be fully revealed. His known powers include: Tremendous brute strength, known to approach that of the Makuta of Metru Nui. 10The ability to heal others' minds of insanity. 11The ability to shoot pure energy at targets. This power has been seen to be channeled through his hands and his axe.When he becomes enraged, he becomes virtually invincible. 12He has the ability to create temporary stasis fields." 13Are these powers true or lies? What is a stasis field?
14Thank you and I hope you are able to answer this list of questions. 15EWPW.
16Ps. thanks for answering so manny of my stupid questions.
17Greg 181) Yes, and no, they do not control where the lightning goes 192) Well, Matau flew in 2004-2005 without a Mask of Levitation, but if you don't have some kind of glider wings or tools to help you maneuver, you are basically just going to be buffeted by winds, which isn't a very efficient way to fly. 203) True 214) True. If you are worried about accuracy of things, I recommend you visit www.biosector01.com for your BIONICLE questions, not Wikipedia. Wikipedia is much less accurate on a lot of things.
22So a toa of light CAN go light speed but has let to do so hmmmmm..... 23Anyone know what stasis fields are?
24Ps I did get that info from www.biosector01.com. 25

1See the online comic 5: in final battle. Axonn put a fraction of his "stasis field" power in a zamor sphere, and the sphere was shot on Vezon.

26Stasis fields are like what Makuta can do, he used a stasis field to keep Matoro frozen in time and space, unable to move.
27Thanks again Greg
281) You told one member that the Nuva armour wasn't made for flight, is that true? 291b) If it is, what purpose did the new armour serve? 302) Is there a particular Storyline reason why the Toa Ignika is yellow, not red or blue? 313) Will the next comic include the "tragic ending"? 324) Is it possible that Voya Nui does NOT reach the mainland due to some reasons at the end of the story? 335) Will the Staff of Artakha be used to repair the hole made by Voya Nui? 346) Is the Swamp of Secrets in the Universe Core? 357) Will the next group of Toa Nuva, Tahu Gali and Onua, be in the Swamp? 368) Will we find out more information on Mata Nui by the end of this story arc? 379) Why is new info on the red star being shown so suddenly in the web serial? Did the Toa Nuva's mission have anything to do with it? 3810) You once told another member that Icarax was not involved in a certain "initial invasion". Is that the invasion of the Universe Core? 3910b) Did the invasion cause some of the Av-Matoran to become allies of the Brotherhood of Makuta? (Like the bat-like matoran) 4011) Why is the Universe Core called the Core of the universe? Does it in some way provide energy/power to the universe?
41Thanks, Greg: 42pirakahakann
431) It's not specifically made fo rthat, no 441b) You'll find out in 2008 452) Why would he be red or blue? Red is fire, blue is water, and we have only really done one yellow stone figure and the stone figure isn't yellow this year -- so it makes sense to have Ignika be a color we are not using elsewhere for a hero. 463) Yes 474, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10b, 11) I can't discuss future storyline 489) Because I found a logical way to work it in. 4910) Yes
1Did the Makuta always have their shadow powers, even when they were protecting Mata-Nui? If so, why? Shadow power is usually seen as being something that only evil beings would possess.
2Also, here's a Makuta revamp that I made. I just thought that you'd like to have a look, since Makuta seems to be one of your favorite characters in the story.
31) Ah, but when have we said that shadow was considered evil BEFORE the BOM rebelled? The example I always use is the swastika, which is a symbol of evil now because of the Nazi use of it, but which was nothing like that prior to its adoption by the Nazis.
4I still don't understand. Shadows are universally symbolic of loneliness, uncertainty, insecurity, and fear. How could this be a good thing?
5I refer you to a couple of comic characters -- The Shroud and Cloak, come to mind -- all of whom have used shadows and darkness in the service of good.
6For example -- let's say the Piraka are rampaging on Metru Nui, killing Matoran. Makuta shows up and uses his power to create insecurity, fear, and uncertainty in them, thus stopping their spree long enough for them to be defeated. Is his power evil then? Or is it good because he used his power to stop murderers and bring them to justice?
7Alright, I think that I understand now. Power over shadows would be great for law-enforcement and protection, as such a power works on more of a psychological level, which would take care of business without causing any real destruction. Makes sense. Thanks:
1QUOTE 2Hey Greg I have some more questions to ask you:
31.What are the tubes or wires for that come off of Matoro and attach to his Cordak? 41a.Do they give the Cordak more power?
52.Are Makuta able to combine their powers? 62a.Like could MoMN send insects after someone and electrocute them at the same time?
73.Are the Nuva's new tools upgraded versions of their old ones or entirely new weapons?
84.Will Axonn appear in any web serials like Brutaka?
95.If MoMN did die would the Tryna be able to bring back and control him?
10Thanks for your time and answers:
111) Not something I have worked into story 122) No 133) New 144) No idea at this point 155) Not really, because all Tryna can do is reanimate a body. If MOMN dies, it will mean his energy is dissipated, and Tryna can't do anything with that. Makuta don't have bodies. 16Just some random questions I was curious about.

1hi greg I know you get this a lot and some one might have already asked the questions im going to ask but I can't be bothered looking through the 260 somthing pages of the offical greg f discussion just to find it: 2so here goes:
3(Q) I know that 3 toa nuva(or will they still be called nuva?) and three photaka(or what ever they are called) are coming out early this year but what my question is are tahu,onua and gali and three other photoka be coming as summer sets?
4(Q)Does photaka mean phantom in the matoran language?
5thanks for your time 6zaktan1396
71) Yes 82) No, it means "spirits of the air"
9this is intresting right?
11. What is the difference between the Toa Mahri's mission and the Toa Nuva's mission ('07 only)
22. Can Gadunka (Rahi, not character) only be found underwater or are they on land too?
33. Do the Mahritoran know that some Voyatoran are still alive, or do they think that they all died when the island broke?
44. If the Jan. Toa and villains are called Phantoka, will the summer Toa/villains share the same name as well or will the Toa name siffer from the villains?
55. Have Toa of Stone always been the strongest in a team of Toa? 65a. Has anyone in a Toa team been the leader besides Toa of Fire? 75b. How many Toa teams are still alive?
8Thanks a bunch Greg:
91) There's a huge difference. The Mahri's mission is to save his life; the Nuva's mission is to prepare the universe for his awakening. 102) Underwater only 113) They don't even remember the Voyatoran or Voya Nui. 124) No, it will be another umbrella name 135-5a) Impossible to answer an "always" question, because we don't know the make-up of every Toa team that has had a Toa of Stone/Toa of Fire in it 145b) Not something I have worried about just yet
1I have a few questions for you Mr. Farshtey
21)I just read Birth of a Dark Hunter for the first time yesterday, and I have to say one thing that surprized me was the simple fact that Lariska and Nidhiki were so close. (About as close as I imagine Dark Hunters could be) In the scene where Nidhiki gets transfomed she runs away, Is this just because she couldn't bear to see her friend in so much pain?
32)If she could, would she try and reverse Nidhiki's transformation? 42a)Even if it might cost something to her? (not another arm of course but mabey a couple of fingers)
53)Did Nidhiki ever try to get revenge on The Shadowed One after this?
64)Did Nidhiki have any good left in him? It almost seemed like it there for a second.
75)Does The Shadowed One do what he does because he just enjoys being wicked or does he actually see some pupose in it.
86)Some of the Dark Hunters seem to have powers so extream I honestly dont see how even a Makuta (or even ten for that matter) could win against them, Devestator for example, I've looked through all the Makuta's powers and can't find one that would work on a being that can turn into sand. So why are the dark hunter's group weaker then the OoMN or the BoM?
9Thank you for your time.
101) Well, she was the one who recruited him, and what was done to him was pretty horrible, wouldn't you say? 112) I doubt it. Besides, he's dead. 123) Nope 134) No, I think what Nidhiki missed about being a Toa was the adulation. It wasn't about doing good for him. 145) There's always a purpose in it. After all, if you are going to let your members just defect whenever they like, how do you maintain any discipline? What he did to Nidhiki was his version of what any army does to its deserters, and for the same reason. 156) Oh, I can stop a being made of sand with a Makuta power ... laser vision. Lasers give off heat. Marry intense heat to sand and you make glass. Not to mention all the mental abilities Makuta have which Devastator has no defense against.
161)Yeah but you could also say Lariska lost the war because of Nidhiki, so honestly I would have thought she wouldn't like him...and for someone like Lariska, well she seems too tough to run away for something like that, but I suppose if she really did care about Nidhiki... 172)Doubt the first part, where she wouldn't have to give up anything, or the second part? 183)
...I sure would have: 194)Yeah but at one point he I thought he said he missed Lhikan and the other toa, and missed being with people like them because they all actually cared about each other and have a sence of brotherhood, as apposed to the dark hunters who have nothing of the sort. 205)I meant in general what he does, not just what he did to Nidhiki. 216)I get the mental powers (I honestly thought at first that his mind would be dissapated enough, like Zaktan's, to avoid a mental attack) but as for the turning into glass thing, well if you've seen Spiderman you'd know that that didn't work on Sandman...he just shattered himself and used the tiny glass peices as though they were sand.

22I see what you're saying, the DH's seem to have a lot of deus ex machina powers, but I suppose the story needs that to make a 1000 year war with the BoM credible.
23But looking over the Rahkshi power list, I see much that a Makuta could use. Using your example of Devastator, I see weather control, cyclones, plasma, gravity, sonics, and the full array of mental abilities. Remember that Makuta, especially MoMN, seem to be very crafty and inventive.
1Is there any chance you can tell us the name of the guy who's writing the script for the movie?
2Tell you what, I will ask if I am allowed to do so.
3Any news on this as of yet?
4Also, am I right in that the first wave of 2008 sets will be the six Phantoka, six Av-Matoran, Icarax, Toa Ignika, and an as-of-yet-unknown Makuta?
51) I did talk to the studio and got some bio info on the writer, but they prefer I wait until 2008 to release the info. 62) Far as I know, unless they add another store exclusive
