1Nice job on finding out about the Shadow Matoran, King of Everything. 
1hey isnt krakua that toa of sonics? then whats he doing working for the OoMN?
21) The Piraka seemed to get the short end of the stick in regards to the mutagen. I mean it's usually nasty but come on, the Barraki might be hideous but they at least became more powerful (individually I mean) and it actually helped the Matoran. The Piraka just lost their bodies? But it makes me think...The Matoran (good beings) were helped by the mutagen, the Barraki (evil but more purposefully evil) were hurt by it but not terribly (mostly just made ugly), while the Piraka (Totally evil and vicious) were seriously harmed by it. So does the mutegan do more 'nasty' mutations if the person being mutated is also 'nasty'? Sort of like mutating you so that your outside matches your inside?
32) You've said that a Matoran can become a Matoran of Shadow if they are drained of all light. This is understandable but I don't get why it makes them evil? Shadow is olny considered evil because of the Brotherhood right but the element itself isn't actually evil right?
43) You've said that even the bad 08 Matoran are Av-Matoran so I'm assuming this is not what happened to them right?
54) Could Mutran be described as a Mad Scientist?
65) Wouldn't Kopaka be better then Tahu in a swamp? Swamps tend to be very damp and wet, wouldn't that hinder Tahu's fire power?
76) I got the impression that Artakha is immencely powerful on his island but just normal everywhere else. Is this right?
87) Sarda seems like the kind of Matoran who could possibly become a Toa. And life under the Sea can be dangerous for a little Matoran with nothing more than a disfunctional weapon. Might he become a Toa and make a two Toa team with Lesovikk under the Sea?
98) That seems like kind of a pathetic end for Karzahni. He is one of the two oldest beings in the Bionicle universe and succeeded in doing evil things that even Makuta hasn't accoplished yet (robbing the Matoran of all hope). Is his story over?
109) What would an ice Nova Blast be like? An explosion that shoots ice off in every direction, or a super flash freeze?
1110) If you evaporated water filled with the mutagen would the resulting steam be mutating as well?
12And finaly...11) What would a Matoran of Gravity's mini ability be? The ability to jump higher because gravity dosn't effect them as much?
13Thank you very much.
141) No, the mutagen has no moral sense, it's not a living thing. The Piraka look was actually based on something that was discussed with the set designers a ways back, when there was talk of re-releasing the Piraka in mutant forms. 152) But light in BIONICLE is good, and if you have no light, you have no goodness of spirit. Remember, darkness is not an actual thing, it is simply the absence of light. 163) No, we simply do not have a prefix for shadow Matoran at this point. 174) Yes 185) No, we have seen Tahu use his power in jungles and other humid areas, and Jaller was able to use his underwater, so I don't really see an issue for him. 196) No. He is simply not a warrior, he's an inventor. He would be an inventor anywhere he went. 207) I have no plans to make him a Toa 218) For now ... and that is what happens when you challenge Makuta. 229) Super flash freeze 2310) Yes -- I treat mutagenic water, in my own mind, as I would irradiated water.
241) I figured as much, just wanted to make sure. But in that case, since the Piraka were all mutated the same way, does this mean that the mutagen will effect all beings of the same species the same way (Piraka=Skakdi=Lose their bodies)? 252) That seems to contradict the fact that the Brotherhood of Makuta used to be good. 263) So then they are Shadow Matoran? 273a) Can Shadow Matoran also change their colors? 286) But could he change the weather at a whim anywhere else like he can on his island? 2911) You didn't answer this question. What would a Matoran of Gravity's mini ability be? The ability to jump higher because gravity dosn't effect them as much?
30And a couple more about your new blog info.
311) Is Spiriah really a villian (I would assume he would be an unpleasant sort)? 322) Can Brutaka be assumed to be the leader because he is good...ish and wants to keep the others in check? 333) As much as I love Vezon and am positively screaming to see him in a team with all these other exelent characters, I can't think of any reason why he would ever do something like this. I doubt he cares if the BoM wins or not. 344) Since half of these characters are water breathers, does that mean the story takes place in the sea? Or do Brutaka, Carapar, and Takadox have breathing apparatuses like Ehlek used to? Or does the OoMN find some way to let them breath air again?
35Once again, thank you very much.
361) Maybe, maybe not 372) But were they good, or did they simply do good things because of fear of the consequences if they did not? 383) Yes 393a) No 406) No, because that is not his power, it's a mechanical device doing that 4111) Since there are no Matoran of Gravity in the story yet, I am not worrying about this yet
421) He's a Makuta, so yes 432) He is the closest to someone the OOMN can rely on on that team, plus he is one of the most powerful 443) Well, consider how it was he escapes from the zyglak, and who he thus owes a debt to 454) You'll find out next year
46I haven't heard any of the last stuff, where do you go to read that info?

That OOMN team will be awsome. Who will they fight though? Another team of the BOM? Or raids or something.
That OOMN team will be awsome. Who will they fight though? Another team of the BOM? Or raids or something.1Okey-dokey- 2I'm more or less caught up, but, havcing missed a couple of books/comics/stuff, I have a few questions...
31. Why is the Ingka destroying the universe?
41a. If so, is it MoMN's fault? 
52. Why is Pohatu's 2008 set red (or is it orange)? 63. Is it just me, or does Pohatu's mask look an awful lot like the (dramatic chord) MASK OF TIME?? 
74. What precisely are Phantoka? 84a. Are they after the mask of life? 9PM me with answers if you can pleeze:

8If you saw that, don't belive it.
9~CN
2Look what a friend of mine found on Wikipedia about a "Toa Honaku":
3Toa of Plant Life, team unknown 4One the 7 Toa team who had lived in the sky for during the years of the Phantoka. little is know about this team. He wore a Kohoki Mask of Stamina, allowing him to say firm in one spot like the roots of a tree. And latter found the Mask of Dexterity. Honaku should not be confused with an Air Toa, dew to his green armor and living in jungles. He possesses the power to control any form of foliage. and is the only known Toa of Plant.
5This is untrue, correct?
6~CN
7Correct, it's untrue. But Wikipedia is loaded with false BIONICLE info. That's why I recommend that people stick to BS01 and not bother with Wikipedia, because it is not accurate.
8If you saw that, don't belive it.

1Didn't Greg say that he would start answering questions about the Phantoka once the sets started appearing? I can't find the quote but I'm pretty sure he did. Can we start asking him questions now that they have appeared?

2He meant in stores.
3I know. People have been buying them. I've seen them both here and on brickshelf.

4Oops, didn't catch the new news entry that just came up in the past few hours...
1He di say it,but are the Phantokas common yet,I might check the 2008 set topic.Good info about the Shadow matoran,King.

5I pretty sure what Greg meant was he didn't want to answer questions on them until they became widely availible. By that I think he meant at retail chains such as walmart and toysrus, not as soon as they start poping up at lego stores.
1Alright I'll wait. I just really want the answer to a the question I asked him a while back about the red energy thing on Kopaka's mask (and that I now see is also on the bayonet/Midak blaster).
1Hopefully that'll be around Christmas.
1now that sets are out, he may start to do that. and why should he? he does this by choice, feel grateful that he even answers our questions.
1Darn. I would say that by Christmas, he should be answering questions. He's already given us some '08 info, like the serial, but I really want to know the Makuta mask powers...
2
3Yeha, that'll be bugging me for a while too. I wonder if he's given us "clues", or something. Man, that would stink if the answer was in front of our faces.
1Okey-dokey- 2I'm more or less caught up, but, havcing missed a couple of books/comics/stuff, I have a few questions...
31. Why is the Ingka destroying the universe?
101) The Great Beings decided it to be so: If the universe is completely berserk, the reasonable thing to do is destroy it, right? It would go out of control.
1a) Well, he did start the "mess" by turning evil, but it's not his fault that the Ignika was made to destroy the universe 112) It is orange, the storyline reason hasn't been revealed. 123) Pohatu's mask, as a Phantoka, is still the Kakama Nuva, Mask of Speed. It has been morphed to a more aerodynamic shape for flight by the Adaptable Armour given to the Toa Nuva by Artakha. 134) Phantoka are Spirits of the Air. 144a) We don't know so far. 15Please PM Greg next time
He gives a lot more accurate answers 1Okey-dokey- 2I'm more or less caught up, but, havcing missed a couple of books/comics/stuff, I have a few questions...

162) I think the set reason that it is orange is because the brown sets didn't sell well.
1As as LEGO have noticed, so does yellow sets.

10It was deleted within hours. We can't block vandalism altogether, but we're trying hard to keep Wikipedia reliable and accurate. I can vouch that most of the time the information is completely correct (though at the moment we're still catching up with Legends #8 and the serial finales).
11. Could Sarda, Idris, and Lesovikk have taken turns with the helmet? 2A. It's hard to do that with three people, plus the helmet contains water -- take it off and the water leaks out.
32. Will we learn how Vezon escaped the Zyglack? 4A. Yes, probably
53. After the Ignika turns black, how long until everyone dies? I'm guessing a matter of seconds. 6A. You would be right
74. With the Ignika color subject, it was grey on Vezon's head in 2006, is this now considered non-canon? 8A. No, things were pretty bad in 2006 too, the mask was in the possession of a madman
95. I've been meaning to ask you this for a while. When asked about the meaning of your avatar, you said somehting like "That's my name". What is the "?" for? 10A. The ? is because I spend most of my time on here getting asked questions 115b. Do you plan on changing it anytime in the near future? 12A. No.
136. About your latest blog entry, that will be only one seiral, correct? And there probably will be others? 14A. There will be more than one serial, yes

1Greg will Bionicle 4 have the Inika and Piraka? Do the Barraki keep the mask of life and get cursed? Why did the Mask of life transform Dekar into Hydraxon? 
1Got Antroz's mask power. 
2Hi, Greg.
3Just got some questions here. Sorry if question 1 is somewhat annoying. I just couldn't hold it in. XD
41. Seeing as '08 sets have started showing up in stores, do you think you could give out at least one Phantoka Makuta mask power? I've been pacing holes in the floor waiting to find out.
52. Say a Ta-Matoran had his light drained from him. Would he still retain his resistance to heat? Would any other kind of Matoran keep their natural Elemental abilities?
6Thanks in advance.
71) Since they are out in stores, yes, I will give one this week and the rest next. Antroz wears the Kanohi Jutlin, the Mask of Corruption, which causes inanimate objects to rot and break down. 82) At this point, I am saying no to this.
1HAZZAH::: Antroz's mask power: This is fantastic news: The Mask of Corruption...sounds pretty awesome.
1Oh man... If that's Antroz, which will be Chirox and Vamprah powers...?
1Anyone find ironic that the Jutlin and Kiril are basically opposites and the sets that we have of them are a mix of red and black

9OH yeah:: Awsome: Thanks:
1Hi, 2I have some stuff, don't know if it's new:
17didn't saw that Antroz his mask power was in the OGD when I PMed this, sorry

3Hi GregF, thanks for the answers, but here are some more, if you're not too bussy:
4Hi GregF, 5I have a few questions about 08 sets because they are released now, I hope you can answer them:
61) are these "shadow leeches" by any chance mutated kraata?
72) when will you release the mask powers of the Makuta?
8that was all, and by the way thank you very much for helping me with the story I wrote
101) Yes 112) I already shared one with Gravitan today, and the other two will be released next week
122) then what is it, or can't you tell me?
13and a new one:
143) what are the leeches' powers?
152) I'd really rather not have to repeat it again and again today. I am sure the member I shared it with will be posting it, and if not, I will put it up in my blog first chance I get. 163) Shadow leeches are basically vampiric in nature, they feed on light.
17didn't saw that Antroz his mask power was in the OGD when I PMed this, sorry

19Yes: Confirmation that the Shadow Leeches really are the mutated Kraata: And that they feed on light: I know we've been theorizing on this, but I haven't seen confirmation until now.
1hi greg just wondering. will matoro be replaced or will the toa mahri just have five toa?oh: and would i be correct in saying that the mask of life is alive and has thoughts and feelings like humans and is curious and inocint like a child?
1hi greg just wondering. will matoro be replaced or will the toa mahri just have five toa?oh: and would i be correct in saying that the mask of life is alive and has thoughts and feelings like humans and is curious and inocint like a child?
2I suspect that they will stay as just 5.Their destiny is completed so there's really no need for a sixth Toa Mahri.
1so do u think that since there destiny is fufilled they will come out with the turaga mahri
1They could become Turaga, but I think Greg said that he wouldn't do that yet.
1Hello and happy holiday:
2I'd like to know the following, quite random, answers:
31) You said that the Toa Ignika will be like a protected toddler. Is it as simpleminded at one too? 41a) If it is, can he stop the countdown, if it feels like it? 51b) And would it be angered, if it isn't called 'he'.
62) The tridax pods, what are they excatly? A makuta special or something Core related?
73) Who is your favorite model, setwise?
84) Will the 5.99$ price step for smaller models continue internationally?
95) Which personality is the hardest to write about in 2008? 105a) And the easiest?
116) You said that the makuta all have 'nasty' powers that a toa never would wield, so how and why did they get them? 126a) Can you reveal any other new info about the masks?
137) Have you heard about any plans about a third Bionicle console game? 147a) Internet game?
158) Will there be any playsets next year? 168a) and will the minifigures then have another color/element/piece mismatch?
179) Which chocolate do you preafer(:?)? Just name any.
1810) When the Core/Xia crisises are over, will most, if not all the last toa reunite at Metru Nui?
1911) The new Nuvas armour can transform depending on the enviroment. Is that of instinct or will? 2011a) Will there be any ammonition packs to their Midaks/Tridax? 2111b) Did Artakha knew the Nuva would need the Adaptable armours?
2212) Which number do you consider "The Magic Number" in Bionicle? 2, 3, 6, 7? Any other?
2313) Will the Nuva's Timebomb ability take more elemental power than usual? Or else Tahu could set one to 4 hours, come back after an hour and set another, and so on?
2414) You also noticed that the other Makuta will win big time, if they just keep to MoMN's master plan. What is this big, other than the control of the planet?
2515) What is exactly the Core's enviroment? Just one big pitfall, jungle or diveded like Mata/Metru Nui?
2616) Which model from prototype to final model shocked you the most to see? In change and color?
27Thanks for a great story:
281) No, it's simply very naive. 291a) No, it can't. The countdown is set off by external conditions, and the mask has no control over it. For the countdown to stop, the conditions that caused it have to change. 301b) Probably not.
312) Designed by the BOM
323) Don't have one
334) I have no info on prices outside of the US
345) Vamprah is the hardest, because he doesn't speak 355a) Icarax or any of the Toa would be the easiest, Mutran is probably the most fun
366) Because they are Makuta, and not Toa. Their role and priorities are different. 376a) I already revealed one mask power today, which I assume has been posted in the forums by now
387-7a) Nothing I can discuss at the moment.
398) No
409) What does this have to do with BIONICLE?
4110) I can't discuss future storyline
4211) It's automatic, they don't control it 4311a) Don't know 4411b) Yes, that's why he made them
4512) I don't consider there to be one
4613) Not to create, no, but it takes concentration to maintain.
4714) Again, I can't discuss future storyline
4815) You'll find out next year
4916) None. I don't pay that much attention to this, since I don't work in set design. Mostly I care about is what mask they have (is it new), and what weapons they have, because I have to work those in story. The details don't matter much to my job.
50Oh no. Ignika will turn evil, if Nuva don't keep an open eye.
51
1oh cool thanks guys: (or girls?)
