1Kind of a motley collection of Q/A, but most of them are interesting. Some more than others.
2Hi, Greg. 7 Qs:
31. You have said that Mata Nui knew who injured him before he fell asleep; so why didn't he kill Makuta? Were his powers inhibited by that injury?
42. Is the new Nuva armor made of protosteel? How about the old armor?
53. In its early years, much of BIONICLE was mysterious. Will it be similar in 2009? (For example, will we know the background stories of the heroes/villains, rather than have them be mysteries like the Toa Mata?)
64. Do Kanohi fall under a Toa of Iron's area of control, or are masks not exactly metallic protodermis?
75. What will the Barraki do now? Battle Hydraxon?
86. Can the Mask of Life repair itself once it's out of the mutagenic water?
97. Do the beings in the Red Star know or care about the BIONICLE universe?
10Thanks a lot, Greg. :)
11-?


121) Yes 132) I don't believe that is specified, but it wouldn't surprise me if the new armor was. 143) I can't discuss 2009 154) If they are metallic, yes; if not (as the Inika's masks were not), then no. 165) The Barraki may make a surprising reappearance in web serials next year 176) One would hope 187) I have not decided on this yet


191. Huh. I wonder what Makuta did to him that had that effect.
203. Darn.
216. I hope it can't.
225. It would be an interesting twist if the beings in the Red Star did know about the Bionicle universe and were hostile towards Bionicle-universe beings...

1Hey Greg, just a few questions for you that I thought up:
21. If the Vako from way back in the 2001-2003 arc were to appear in the storyline, what would they be called instead?
32. Are there any plans for a set based on the Dark Hunter Phantom? Or is he just another character you came up with who wasn't created by a fan or is supposed to be a character we'll see in the future?
43. What are the Dark Hunters doing for a base now that the Odina fortress is gone?
5Here's some others for ya:
64. Could the Mana Ko be controlled by a Makuta?
75. Do you have any more information on this Makuta Mutran that was mentioned in Into the Darkness #8?


81) They won't, because I cannot use their name. 92) Phantom is a fan-built model. He was one of the Dark Hunter contest winners whose model did not make it into the book, so we don't own the rights to make a set of him. 103) They are rebuilding the one they had 114) Controlled in what way? 125) You'll find out more next year


131. Is there a picture of Phantom anywhere that fans can access online?
142. In reference to my Mana Ko question, as in by a Makuta's Rahi control powers? I know it seems somewhat obvious, but I'm curious as to why the Order of Mata Nui would command an army that their arch-enemies could seize control of in the middle of a battle.
153. Are the Bahrag and the Bohrok Kal villainous, or are they like the regular Bohrok in just having a job to do?
164. If they were rebuilt, what would the Bohrok Kal do? Would they help finish everything on Mata Nui, or would they be assigned some other task?
175. Do you have any plans that involve bringing back the Kal?


181) No 192) Ever considered that if the OOMN can mentally shield themselves, they can mentally shield their troops as well? 203) No, they are not villainous. They are playing their role in the Great Spirit's plan. 214) The Kal only have one job -- to act in the event the Bahrag are incapacitated, to rescue them so the Bohrok can finish their job. The Bahrag are not incapacitated, so if the Kal were recreated, they would go to sleep until they were needed. 225) No. Since I have no plans to trap the Bahrag again, there would be no role for them to play.

1Hi again Greg. Hope you had a good holiday. 2Just a few random ones this time. 31) There has been a debate going on whether or not a Toa of Light could have all light drained from them and become a Toa of Shadow. Is this possible? 42) I heard an unconfirmed report that a strong, concentrated blast of light could destroy a Makuta. Is this true? 52a) If it is true, how concentrated would it have to be? 62b) Would a light Nova blast do the trick? 73) I recall you saying that the Makuta Phantoka are wearing are just great masks, but the kind a Toa would not wear. Is it safe to assume that these mask powers are either too potentially devastating for a Toa to consider using, or would violate a Toa's morals if used? 84) Will the identity nine-foot being who placed the SOA in it's "power cradle" be revealed in 08? 95) Could the SOA fix the Universe Core if it was taken there? 106) Is the Coliseum now fixed? 117) What do you suppose would have happened if the Mahri had destroyed the stone cord but the SOA hadn't been used yet? Would the island just have sunk? 12Thanks again: 13-Ax-

141) Any being who had the light drained out of them would become corrupt, yes 152) Makuta are vulnerable to light, yes, but it would be more than even a Toa of Light gone nova would be able to accomplish 163) They are just not ones Toa would be into, as they are negative in nature 174) Not unless it becomes relevant to 2008 story to do so. It might, we'll see 185) If it was taken inside it yes 196) Yes 207) Hard to say. One thing we do know is that the hole in the mainland dome roof would not have sealed behind it if the SOA had not been used

21There it lies.:)-Ax-

28This response seemed kind of rude and unnecessary to me. As for the mask fixing itself, the 2008 teaser in the new Lego magazine pictures the Ignika with a gaping hole in its side, which doesn't really give me the impression that it has fixed the damage that was done to it.

276) Nope, not a typo. I think it would be good if it was still cracking, and in its last few days (or whatever next year's Bionicle time period is) it decides to become a hero
28(Toa Ignika)

29and then is destroyed near the end of the year. It doesn't actually need to be cracking still, just as long as it's destroyed. :evilgrin: I've had enough of that mask. We've already had two years with it, c'mon... Almost two years, anyway.

30This response seemed kind of rude and unnecessary to me. As for the mask fixing itself, the 2008 teaser in the new Lego magazine pictures the Ignika with a gaping hole in its side, which doesn't really give me the impression that it has fixed the damage that was done to it.

31Eh, don't worry about it. :) I wasn't offended or anything.
32I did remember the messed-up side of the Ignika, but I also remembered the
33Toa Ignika
34set. It doesn't have any gaping hole. But maybe the set designers didn't want to make something like that.

1That's really interesting about the Av-Matoran prefix thing.
#10888
1I don't think that's the damage to the Ignika, I think that's just half-Ignika, half-Universe Core. Like on those old posters where it was half-Mata Nui, half-infected Hau.

11) Did Karzahni know that L and his teamates did not really face the Acid Cloud, or did he think that they actually did? 21) He screwed up, basically 32) You said Brutaka had been spying on the Barraki after he dealt with the Giant Squid. Does he know that the Mahri are no longer in the Pit? 42) You mean, now? Yes 52b) Does he know that Matoro used the Ignika? 62b) No, he has no way to know that. He wasn't in the core. 73) When Mata Nui was revived, how much energy from the Ignika itself was taken? Or was only Matoro's energy used to revive Mata Nui? 83) Matoro's energy merges with that of the Ignika, which is then released. The Ignika then restores itself. 94) Does the Ignika speak Matoran at all? All that Kongu saw in the Ignika's mind were only images, not words. 104) It may have some rudimentary knowledge of the language, but no capacity for physical speech 115) Is there any reason that the Phankuta are in three different colours, rather than being in any colour of their choice? 125) Have you considered that those colors might be the colors of their choice, in this case? 136) Is it a coincidence that the Phankuta are in three colours which represent the elements that are not covered by the three Toa? 146) It's a set thing. 157) Is it possible for a Toa of Iron to change the shape of a mask (made of metallic protodermis) without damaging it? 167) Yes 178) After Matoro used the Ignika, what colour was it? Silver, like in the Toa Ignika set, or gold, as shown in the comic? 188) Gold. The events of the coming of the Toa Ignika happen later on. 199) Is Mimic's friend a Toa? 209b) If so, is she the Toa in stasis? 219) No 2210) Can the Mask of Possibilities alter the possibility of any single thing happening (Except life and death)? 2310b) If so, isn't it too powerful to be something that a Toa can control? 2410) No, it's not, because it is limited by the willpower of the Toa and the fact that it is a Great Mask, not a Legendary mask. So there is a limit to what it can affect. 2511) Is there a storyline reason that three of the Av-Matoran look like the Matoran? Or is it only a set thing? 2611) I don't understand your question.
275) So Antroz likes red and black, Chirox likes black, and Vamprah likes blue? 2811) Gah...Meant to say Makuta...I'll send the question again later.
#10892
11) is this statment true? At one point in time, there were over one hundred Makuta. After the rebellion, there are only eight of the most loyal members left.
22) can halahi's fins work like wing now?
33) can you tell us anything about mutran?
44) what is jallars hannuh crab doing right now?
51) Off the top of my head, I don't recall ever specifying how many members there were originally. I am not going to say that it's impossible I did so at some point, but I do not see that figure given in the Encyclopedia. 62) If you take a fish out of the water, can it flap its fins and fly? 73) Yes, I can tell you you'll find out about him in 2008 84) What crabs normally do in the ocean

1Finally: I can send messages agian. Anyway, could you answer these questions for me?
21. Was Lesovikk the leader of his Toa Team?
32. Was the Pit first being used for holding prisoners before or after the formation of the OoMN?
43. Were the Maxilos robots serving the HoA, or were they created after the OoMN was formed?
54. When were the first Cordak Blasters created?
65. I know you can't reviel to much about 2008, but can you at least confirm if the BoM are the main villians next year or not?
76. How many years has it been since Lesovikk's team was killed?
87. What happend to the MoLi After Matoro used it?
98. I've heard both Takadox and Spinax fight Maxilos/Makuta in Bionicle Legends#8. You've said Spinax won't fight Maxilos because he senses something evil. Will Spinax fight him because Takadox hypnotizes Spinax?
10Thanks GregF.


111) Wouldn't surprise me 122) After 133) They were created for use in the Pit 144) I don't have a date for that 155) Yes, they are 166) Oh, long time, probably 90,000 years or so 177) Fell in the swamp 188) No, he fights him because Hydraxon orders him to. He belonged to Hydraxon long before he belonged to Maxilos.

1Hi, I've just got these of Greg. I think the last one is quite nice to know.
2I'm sorry if you have received these questions already, but had been a week while others were getting answers and assumed the server must have eaten it. Anyway, I hope you have time to answer them all, I have been wondering about them for some time.
31) I noticed on BS01 that Av- is the prefix meaning light. As the the Avohkii begins with this, does that mean that the Masks of Shadows and of Gravity could begin with their prefixes? e.g. Kra- or Gar-
43) Have the Great Beings/Mata-Nui ever created/considered creating a matoran of shadows?
52) Would a Toa of Light have the same ability to change their colouring like the matoran? 62b) Is it possible to altar the light so much as it turns themselves/others completely invisible?


71) Hasn't been determined what the prefixes for those elements are. 83) No 92) Yes 102b) Theoretically, but since we already have a Mask of Concealment in the story, I don't want to give them that as a natural ability


11I guess the second one isn't of much use since the thing about draining an Av-matoran, but at least we know they never even considered making one...

#10899
1I had to resend my questions and I finaly got em: :D (Sorry if their out of date.)
2Hi Greg: :) I sent you lots of questions, but they all got lost in Inboxland. :P So, incase the'yre gone, I've compiled them all. Which means there a lot of questions. I wish I didn't have to do this, but since 2008's round the corner, they'll soon be obsolete.:
31)Will the Turaga of Metru Nui teach the Matoran of Karzahni how to rebuld themselfs to become stronger?
42)Well, the Nuva are repairing the universe so it is as it was when Mata Nui was awake. Are they trying to hide what had happened to the universe so Mata Nui doesn't know?
53)See quote:
64)How loyal are the Phantoka Makuta to the MoMN?
74) On the whole, quite loyal

8I understand if you can't answer this, but it sound to me that one of the Phanoka Makuta are planning to betray his. :sly: Is this true?
94)These volcanos Tahu and Kopaka are quelling, are they important their tasks on the scroll?
105)Is whatever the First Toa was doing all this time important to the story?
116)Speaking of her, did she reside in Metru Nui after it was built?
127)The Matoran that became statues in Karzahni were destroyed by Gali's flood. What happened to the living pathway nearby?
138)I'm a little confused about something, how many Makuta are curently alive?
149)So the Mata Nui telescope wasn't cleared by the Bohrok. Were the Mata Nui and Makuta statues cleared since they were Matoran made?
1510)


161)What did it exactly mean in th DoD serial when it said Makuta "ripped Karzahni's mind to shreds"?

171) Well, how did you interpret it?

181)I thought he eliminated everything going on in Karzahni's mind. Wouldn't that kill him?

191) No, I never said he did that, and besides, humans can have major brain damage and still be alive.

20Does that mean Karzy has brain damge?
2111)Have the BoM perfected the Kraata mutations yet?
2212)Looking at GNB 9, it seems as if it has finaly cought up with the other serials time-wise. Is that so?
2313)Acording to Makuta's recolection in ItD, it seemed that the Makuta had been care takers of the Matoran before the Leauge of Six Kingdoms rebelion. But you clearly told me that they guarded the universe after the Civil War, which happened well after the LoSK's rebelion. Am I missing something?
2414)In DoD 9, you revieled Nikila's tools and mask. (Thank you so much: :D ) That had nothing to do with the PM I sent you a while back, asking you if you'd reviel them, right?
2515)Can the Mask of Possibilities make some that's bound to happen extreamly unlikely? In other words, can it do the opposite of the description you had given us?
2616)Was the mysterious speaker in the Nuva Blog the same entity who spoke to the Toa Mata in you're BL10 sneak peek? I understand if you can't answer.
2717)
Darth matrix
28\ 292. Are the Mahri gonna protect metru nui from now on[? 302) For now, yes

31So is there destiny over?
3218)Any particular reason Nikila's Lesovikk's best friend on his team?
3319)I recall you saying that Vezon recreated the Spear of Fusion after is was burnt to ashes, but no one on BS01 really believes me. Am i right? Or am I just crazy? :P
3420)Some BZPer kept refering to the Phantoka Makuta as "Chirox's team." Did you say he's their leader and I don't know?
3521)
36Makuta, in the body of Maxilos, swam rapidly through the dark waters of the Pit. As he did so, his mind drifted back to the past and the journey that had brought him to this place and time. Had it really only been some hundred thousand years ago that he first saw the light of day, along with his fellow Makuta? Chirox, Antroz, Vamprah, Mutran, and the others?
37That was the only mention on Mutran in the whole story, thus far. Since it was only mouthed, not typed, do I have the spelling right?
3822)Can the Mask of Possibilities change someones thoughts? Like, if it's unlikly someone will shout "CHEESE:", can the mask increase the possibility of someone shouting it? or does it not work on minds? (Ignore the corny example. :P )
3923)Whatever happened to the cracks in the MoLi? Are they still there or have they been repaired? I don't see any cracks on the mask in comic 11.
4024)
4116) About the Mahri, what of the Cordak blasters? Will they discard them once they run out of rockets, since there aren't any more around? Will Kongu keep his to channel his air power through, since he has no other weapon?
4216) Kongu could certainly get another weapon crafted for him in the forges of Ta-Metru, if need be, and as long as they have one piece of ammo left, the Matoran could probably duplicate the ammo. The weapons were built by Matoran to start with.

43But you said they were made on Xia. Does this mean that the Vortixx use Matoran in their factories?
4425)Why exatly did the OoMN member guarding Metru Nui who ran into the Karzahni plant tell the pant about the OoMN? Wouldn't he have been smart enough to keep that a secret? Or was he thretend into releasing such info?
4526)So the Av-Matoran remember the Toa Mata (as explained by the Av- in Karzahni). Would they reconize them in their new "adaptable armor?"<-- Awsome nickname, BTW:
4627)Now forgive me if I'm wrong, cause we don't exactly have the clearest photos of you on BZP and BS01, but I noticed that this Mini-Fig head looks a little bit like you. Do you think so?
4728)Matoro was said to have seen someone before his death. Was it in a vision, or in reality?
4829)So if the Staff of Artakha cannot reach the UC, that would mean that the Toa Nuva's Suvas couldn't teleport mask their either, right?
49Please forgive me for sending you such a long PM during the holidays. I hope you have a very good season. :) 50~CN :xmas:


511) Yes 52Yay: :D 532) That wouldn't make much sense -- that would be like covering up for the Makuta. 54Oh yeah, right. 553) You'll find out in 2008, but keep in mind, we just did that with the Barraki traitor so are in no rush to do it again. 56Ah, less repition. 574) All tasks on the scroll are important 58Eh, comunication breakdown. Not exactly what I ment, but I still got my answer. 595) Yes 60Good. 616) No 62Hmmm, wonder if there was a reason why.... 637) Depends on if it needed to breathe or not. If it doesn't, as most likely it does not (not having any lungs) it just got very wet. 64that a few lesscaualties to worry about. 658) You're confused because the information hasn't been revealed. 66But ... b-but the atlas said so. 679) Anything added by the Matoran was removed, yes 68Just wondering if the Bohrok had reached the spot yet, that's all. 6910) Means he has no sanity left at all. 70Um, is there a difference here? 7111) You'll find out in future story 72Alright: 7312) Yes 74Good job, Greg. 7513) Actually, the timeline that I have has the LOSK final battle 80,000 years ago, and the Matoran Civil War 79,500 years ago, so the two events are practically right on top of each other. 76Hmm. This also puts in line when Lessy's team was killed. It couldn't have been any sooner than 79,500 BVNE 7714) Correct. I can't make story decisions based on one fan's request. 78Then we think alike, Greg. 7915) No 80Odd, why not? 8116) Can't answer it 82Was that coming. 8317) Their destiny was to save the life of Mata Nui, which they have done. Doesn't mean they won't play a role in future story or have other adventures, but their destiny has been achieved. 84Again, comunication breakdown... 8518) Any particular reason your best friend is your best friend? I don't think you can define things like this, it's "chemistry." 86Forget this one, I was just trying to pick his mind a little. 8719) That's because you're not correct. Vezon recreated it after it was snapped in two. He did not recreate it after it was burned to ashes. 88Sorry, I got mixed up. 8920) No, I did not announce a team leader. 90Please be Antroz, please... 9121) Yes, you do 92Already answered, I know. 9322) No, doesn't work on thoughts. It's not a Mask of Mind Control. 94Again, ignore the corny example. :P 9523) They were hairline cracks, so you probably wouldn't notice them unless you looked close. 96I can recall seing them in one comic. Weird... 9724) I don't see any reason why someone like, say, Nuparu or a Matoran who has design skills could not examine something built by someone else and recreate it -- happens in our world all the time. 98And neither do I. 9925) Anyone can crack under torture. 100Which means he was tortured. 10126) They would recognize their names, not their appearance. 102"Pohatu, what big shoulders you have. " :P 10327) Not really, no 104Heh, forgot that picture was really old. :P 10528) Reality. The core is inhabited at this point in time, so it's not that big a shock. 106Whichmeans it was not Mata Nui. (And please don't quote this and give out the answer, as that spoiler isn't allowed yet. Thank you. :) ) 10729) Hard to say, because we don't know that the core's shielding bars all teleportation. However, I can tell you I don't plan to do much mask switching in 2008 since we are not doing masks as a collectible. 108Good, cause I still don't have a full set.

1I had to resend my questions and I finaly got em: :D (Sorry if their out of date.)
2Hi Greg: :) I sent you lots of questions, but they all got lost in Inboxland. :P So, incase the'yre gone, I've compiled them all. Which means there a lot of questions. I wish I didn't have to do this, but since 2008's round the corner, they'll soon be obsolete.:
31)Will the Turaga of Metru Nui teach the Matoran of Karzahni how to rebuld themselfs to become stronger?
42)Well, the Nuva are repairing the universe so it is as it was when Mata Nui was awake. Are they trying to hide what had happened to the universe so Mata Nui doesn't know?
53)See quote:
64)How loyal are the Phantoka Makuta to the MoMN?
74) On the whole, quite loyal

8I understand if you can't answer this, but it sound to me that one of the Phanoka Makuta are planning to betray his. :sly: Is this true?
94)These volcanos Tahu and Kopaka are quelling, are they important their tasks on the scroll?
105)Is whatever the First Toa was doing all this time important to the story?
116)Speaking of her, did she reside in Metru Nui after it was built?
127)The Matoran that became statues in Karzahni were destroyed by Gali's flood. What happened to the living pathway nearby?
138)I'm a little confused about something, how many Makuta are curently alive?
149)So the Mata Nui telescope wasn't cleared by the Bohrok. Were the Mata Nui and Makuta statues cleared since they were Matoran made?
1510)


161)What did it exactly mean in th DoD serial when it said Makuta "ripped Karzahni's mind to shreds"?

171) Well, how did you interpret it?

181)I thought he eliminated everything going on in Karzahni's mind. Wouldn't that kill him?

191) No, I never said he did that, and besides, humans can have major brain damage and still be alive.

20Does that mean Karzy has brain damge?
2111)Have the BoM perfected the Kraata mutations yet?
2212)Looking at GNB 9, it seems as if it has finaly cought up with the other serials time-wise. Is that so?
2313)Acording to Makuta's recolection in ItD, it seemed that the Makuta had been care takers of the Matoran before the Leauge of Six Kingdoms rebelion. But you clearly told me that they guarded the universe after the Civil War, which happened well after the LoSK's rebelion. Am I missing something?
2414)In DoD 9, you revieled Nikila's tools and mask. (Thank you so much: :D ) That had nothing to do with the PM I sent you a while back, asking you if you'd reviel them, right?
2515)Can the Mask of Possibilities make some that's bound to happen extreamly unlikely? In other words, can it do the opposite of the description you had given us?
2616)Was the mysterious speaker in the Nuva Blog the same entity who spoke to the Toa Mata in you're BL10 sneak peek? I understand if you can't answer.
2717)
Darth matrix
28\ 292. Are the Mahri gonna protect metru nui from now on[? 302) For now, yes

31So is there destiny over?
3218)Any particular reason Nikila's Lesovikk's best friend on his team?
3319)I recall you saying that Vezon recreated the Spear of Fusion after is was burnt to ashes, but no one on BS01 really believes me. Am i right? Or am I just crazy? :P
3420)Some BZPer kept refering to the Phantoka Makuta as "Chirox's team." Did you say he's their leader and I don't know?
3521)
36Makuta, in the body of Maxilos, swam rapidly through the dark waters of the Pit. As he did so, his mind drifted back to the past and the journey that had brought him to this place and time. Had it really only been some hundred thousand years ago that he first saw the light of day, along with his fellow Makuta? Chirox, Antroz, Vamprah, Mutran, and the others?
37That was the only mention on Mutran in the whole story, thus far. Since it was only mouthed, not typed, do I have the spelling right?
3822)Can the Mask of Possibilities change someones thoughts? Like, if it's unlikly someone will shout "CHEESE:", can the mask increase the possibility of someone shouting it? or does it not work on minds? (Ignore the corny example. :P )

1Just need to post this for posterity (and evidence on BS01)
2Hi, Greg? I just joined BS01, and my first work took place in Onepu's article. It concerns his personality in MNOLG. Knowing that you haven't played the game, I'll provide a quote from the article.
3Hi, I'm a new member here. I joined largely because I found a serious error in Onepu's article. The article claims that in the MNOLG, Onepu was a "humble, brave, and hard-working Matoran." However, when you first meet Taipu and ask "Who is Onepu?" his response is "Onepu is my best friend in Onu-Koro. He is very smart and knows a lot about Ussal Crab racing and fighting Rahi. He is supposed to be digging, too, but he showed me how I can do both of our digging at the same time. THAT'S how smart he is:" Clearly, Onepu was not against manipulating the naive Taipu so he could get out of work. This is scarcely the sort of action suited to someone as "hard-working" as the article states Onepu to be. Other examples, such as his reluctance to offer Ta-Koro a regiment of the Ussalry, indicate other possible faults Onepu had in the MNOLG with which he is not credited.--Aanchir 08:35, 23 November 2007 (PST)


4I have been asked to get from you official concensus on this issue. I know this may be hard for you, but I can't describe how helpful it will be and how much I will appreciate it. Thanks in advance. :) 5EDIT: Sorry if I sent this twice, there was a board message and no way to check if the message went through. I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused.


6Well, the Encyclopedia states that Onepu, on Metru Nui, was an archivist but had no patience for the work and preferred to be out capturing Rahi. And then it goes on to his record in the Ussalry. Beyond that, I had no involvement with the online games and very little if any with this character, so not sure what I can add. I do agree with you, though, that if Taipu's quote is accurate, it does belie the notion of him as "humble and hard-working."

1Just something I noticed. Some people are sending things to Greg that have been answered and I have seen some that are all recycled questions. Can we read the OGD first BEFORE sending Greg questions. I read everything I haven't read on the Topic when I get home from school, and that is why I don't ask a lot. Greg gets pretty swamped from PM's and if we can not send new Q's, it might help. Thank you for reading this.

1Hey Greg, I sent these a few days ago but I assume you never got it.
21) We know that we are going to see both the first Toa ever next year as well as the OoMN leader. Assuming that the female voice is the OoMN leader...could the first Toa be the OoMN leader?
32) Is it possible, with enough will power, to gain control over a hordika form? Or will it eventually take you over no matter what?
43) People have been talking about this but I havn't seen an answer on the OGD. Is the frost beetle quote from Mutran?
54) Are the Nuva's weapons adaptable like their armor? I don't really see how that would work but it's the olny thing that makes sense with Pohatu's propeller claws.
65) The Phantoka Makuta look like bats because they need to fly and bats are frightening. Using the same logic, does it make sense (I know you can't say yes or no for sure) that the summer Makuta are some sort of swamp beasts, probably crocodiles (being the scariest swamp creature I can think of)
76) When I asked if the reason the Makuta masks are possibly one of a kind is because they are extra powerful, you said no, and that the reason was that they weren't masks Toa would wear. Does this imply that they are nasty mask powers, along the same lines as Matoro's Mask of Reanimation, or worse.
87) Assuming that the Nuva don't become Turaga at the end of 08, the adaptive armor seems like a fantastic idea. It alows you to rerelease the Nuva as many times as you want in the future without having to think of a new way to transforming them again...was this your purpose, to give you an easy way to bring them back ,just in case you decided to bring them back in the future?
9Thank you very much in advance.


101) Since, as you say, it is something you are seeing in future story, I can't comment on it. 112) It's doubtful you would be able to maintain that level of willpower over an extended period of time. 123) You'll find out who it's from when the relevant book comes out. 134) Yes, they are. 145) I can't discuss this, other than to say they're not bats. 156) Yes 167) It was mainly because the methods we use to transform Toa have sometimes been really cumbersome and required a lot of explanation in story. Doing it this way allows us to explain their new look in one sentence and get on with the story.


171) I expected as much... 182) But tecnically it's possible...just doubtful. 193) Forgive me if this has been asked before. Like I said, I didn't see it in the OGD. 204) Awesome::: 215) I just meant is it logical...Crocs are my best guess. 226) MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA: 237) Okeydokey. :D
#10909
1Wow VERY nice combination. It would make so much sense if the first Toa was the leader of the OoMN.
2That would explain why what she did all these years had been relevant.
#10910
1but toa aren't allowed in the OoMN. I doubt a toa would not allow fellow toa within their order.
#10911
1Yes, and think this way, why would a Toa support and allow killing like that in an organization run by a Toa?
#10912
Toa Keyl
1but toa aren't allowed in the OoMN. I doubt a toa would not allow fellow toa within their order.
2I agree, but that doesn't exactly mean the First Toa doesn't have some type of connection with the OoMN.
#10913
1The first Toa dosn't nessisarily have to follow the rules of other Toa. The 'no killing' rule might have been before her time. And actually it would make sense that she might see that their would be some instances where you would need to get rid of a particularly dangerous enemy and so created the OoMN so that her fellow Toa wouldn't have to break their vows to never kill anyone. This would also explain why other Toa aren't allowed to be members.

2still, she might have changed her rules if she heard toa didn't kill. and besides, it just another baseless theory and please don't plant this information anywhere like it's confirmed.

1You know, sometimes simple masks can be the most effective.

1I would think masks of negative nature would be like these: 2Confirmed: 3Kraahkan-Mask of Shadows 4Tryna-Mask of Reanimation 5Examples: (My thoughts) 6-Mask of Retaliation (get hit, use mask, opponent gets hit with double the force.) 7-Mask of Absorbtion (suck energy/life force out of nearby Rahi and plants, killing anything too weak. Like in Eragon, sucking power from the environment, but with a cost.) 8-Mask of Mutation (Mutran, anyone?)
9Edit: I made a topic about this, so we don't have to clutter up the OGD: What Do You Think Would Be a Mask of Negative Nature?
