2Interesting. Does the color red mean something, then?
7I don't think he did that out of pity, I think it was kind of a let them live, let them suffer thing.
1Remember, Antroz and the others are all old pals/brothers to MoMN. Antroz has the most experience in combat (aside from Icarax) out of all three, so it is only correct to choose a "General" to lead... Vamprah's a hunter and Chirox's a mutation expert.
2V-PoW
3Where did you hear that he had the most experience in combat? That's interesting news:
1Hi, Greg.
2Just one question here.
31. Can the Jutlin corrode one object at a time, or does it have more power than that?
4Thanks in advance.
51) I treat it like a Mask of Telekinesis, you can use it on one object at a time as long as you maintain concentration.
6Okay, thanks. Now just a follow-up and an additional question.71. Say Antrox wanted to destroy the Great Barrier. How fast could he do that?
82. If a Makuta was stripped of his Kraata powers, what powers would he have left?
9Thanks in advance.
101) That would take a while, given the sheer mass of the Barrier. 112) Well, he would have his mask power, his telepathic abilities, and his control over the element of shadow, along with shapeshifting and the ability to possess other bodies.
26) No, they have no good in them left, because they have no light left.
3That's is really interesting. I wonder if there is a way the light could regenerate? I mean, elemental energy does replenish itself, why not this light, it is there element. Also, I wonder if they saw some of there still-light friends would they try to kill them or hold back, or even consider it. I mean, jsut because your evil doesn't mean you have no pity, in BL84MoMN left the Barraki alive, so he has pity.
5Also, just to throw something out their, would the still-light matoran recognize the evil matoran, hence hold back?
6By the by, these aren't questions for Greg, and I don't know if that needed to be in spoilers.
7No, MoMN was about to execute them actually, when Botar intervened and teleported them to the Pit. An evil being does not feel pity, that's a characteristic of good, which shadow beings do not have, as Greg said.
1Hey Greg, I just have some questions regarding certain Matoran types:
2#1: Apart from the Toa canister maker on Karzahni, were there any other Matoran types there, apart from the original 6 breeds?
3#2: Same for both Voya Nui and Mahri Nui.
4#3: Considering that the aforementioned canister maker is an Av-Matoran and is currently in Metru Nui, can we expect an encounter between him and Takanuva?
5#4: Ok the last question is off-topic from the other three but I'll ask anyway. Since the First Toa and the Toa Nuva were created instead of transformed from Matoran, would they transform into Turaga like the Toa Metru or would they turn into something different?
6Thank you for your time
71) Quite possibly 82) No 93) I don't plan to spend a lot of time on Metru Nui in 2008, so no 104) Yes, they can turn into Turaga
11Regarding the Karzahni Matoran, now that they're in Metru Nui are they going to stay there or will they eventually move back to their original homes?
12Well, if you had been sent to Karzahni from your homeland, would you be eager to go back to the place that shipped you off again? I wouldn't.
13Good point, so can we expect Metru Nui to have some new metru then? To accommodate the new non-original six type Matoran?
26) No, they have no good in them left, because they have no light left.
3That's is really interesting. I wonder if there is a way the light could regenerate? I mean, elemental energy does replenish itself, why not this light, it is there element.

11
12I understand that, but he wanted revenge on the Barraki, and, Nittany Nuva, Bad guys and evil people have pity. I mean, before shadow was evil in the Bionicle universe, Makuta had remorse on matoran and others, so you shouldn't say that.
What did they do to him? 1Only a couple of questions
21) Did Icarax have a mask before he wore the Kraahkan? 31b) if so, what was it's name? 41c) what was it's power? 52) Are matoran built? 62b) if so, who built them?
7Thanks, 1st time I've posted here.
81)Greg hasn't decided yet.
92) We don't know how matoran are made, and Greg doesn't intend to tell us yet.
10You have to PM questions to Greg, but he probably won't give you any better answers.
11-Shardwing Prime-
2Chirox, Antroz and Vamprah are, yes. One, because I needed a reason they would carry Matoran out with them, and two, I needed to give the Nuva some kind of edge or they are dead in the first 45 seconds of the fight.
3Ah. Fair enough.
4I just thought they were really weak Makuta
5Wow, blind, that makes it a lot more interesting...

6It's the summer Makuta that are weakened.
1snow30, the reason the Order chose Brutaka and the others on the new team was already explained in Greg's blog. Apart from Brutaka, the other 5 have reasons to join. Either they join or choose the alternative - killed by the Brotherhood, get stuck in the Pit, etc... 2Toa Devak, your theory doesn't mean anything. Kardas doesn't have a meaning in Matoran language, and possibly neither is Karda. We don't know if Nuva means "new", and Matoran languages mostly don't apply to names.
3We do know that nuva means new and toa means hero. (new heroes: toa nuva) Karda will, just like every other bionicle name other than names for individuals eventually have a meaning. But since kardas is such an energy freak, it probably means something like that.
2Chirox, Antroz and Vamprah are, yes. One, because I needed a reason they would carry Matoran out with them, and two, I needed to give the Nuva some kind of edge or they are dead in the first 45 seconds of the fight.

9If they got blinded, then they would probably be weaker then the barraki. Not only could they not see anything(I don't think a second wave of matoran are coming out) they also couldn't use rakshi powers. It would be Toa Nuva practice grounds. lol

11Yeah, but making them blind, and no rakshi powers would make them extremely weak. Not only could they not see(no shadow matoran)they couldn't use the rakshi powers. Even if they had a special ability, what would be the point if they couldn't see. Plus that would be the same thing as the winter, which Greg probably won't do.
1Theultimatepower, I think Greg said that only the Makuta in the air (Chirox, Vamprah, and Antroz) were blinded.
1probably new.
2Thank you for finding the tiempo to answer mi questions. 31.In 2008, will you reveal what type of Matoran Vican is (I think that he is a Matoran of Plant-Life for some reason). 42.If Dweller got in a fight with Takanuva and the five Toa mahri, who would win. 53.How will the OoMN interrogate the Piraka? 64.Do you think that 2008 will appease older fans? 75.How did you and the set designers think that red would sell well? Did you make tests for a little kid? 86.What would happen if Takanuva turned into a Toa of Shadow by the Shadow Leeches? 97.What is the difference between Kraata and Shadow Leeches?
10That is all that I am thinking of. Thanks for making Vezon part of the Team with Brutaka, I am already making a joke about it:
111) I may or may not reveal it, but he is most likely one of the six main types of Matoran. 122) One DH against six Toa, I would expect the DH would lose. 133) Thoroughly 144) I really have no idea -- some older fans will like it, and some won't, but I also have to worry about the 8-11 year olds, since they buy the most sets. 155) We have known red sells best since 2001. All we have to do is look at the sales figures from the stores each year. 166) Then he would be a Toa of Shadow. 177) Shadow leeches can drain the light out of living beings; kraata cannot.

3No, Karda/s definitly WILL mean something. Matoran does not apply only to names of sentient beings (Jaller) and does for everything else (Metru Nui = Great City).
4R:ToG
1Why are some of you unhappy that the Winter(or in my case Summer) Makuta are blind? Like Greg said before, the Nuva would get completly steam-rolled by the Makuta in a matter of seconds if they weren't blind. As Greg said before, it gives the Nuva a much needed edge. Hope that settles things.

5Thats not true, not every bionicle name is given a translation. Mahri nui and Voya nui were never given official translations and they were the islands from the past two years so whats to say the island this year will be any different.

7What we mean is that they have a meaning. we don't know it, but we can guess.
1nva meaning new is based upon greg saying that nuva most likely meant new.
1I understand that, but he wanted revenge on the Barraki, and, Nittany Nuva, Bad guys and evil people have pity. I mean, before shadow was evil in the Bionicle universe, Makuta had remorse on matoran and others, so you shouldn't say that.
2Makuta has no quarrel with the barraki, acutally. And even when makuta was good, he killed in cold bloodd those who defied him and mata nui. greg confirms that makuta was never a very nice guy, and at his nicest he was like he was in bl6. 3"There is only one punishment for such treachery." -MOMN
1I don't know but I think bad guys can actually have remorse.
1Hi Greg
2Some new questions
31- The 08 phantoka canister makuta are blind, right? 41b- That's why they are using the matoran, right? 51c- So before Matoro used the Ignika they weren't blind, right? 61d- Are they forever blind or partime?
72- Will you reveal next year what kind of matoran Vican (correct spelling?) is?
83- Do the evil small sets also have special powers like the good ones? 93b- When the small set and the caniter set combine could the canister one use the special power of the small one?
104- How fast can Photok actually run? The speed of light?
115- Are protodites around the same size as a bacterie?
126- If the shadow is sucked out of a maroran will it then turn into a av-matoran?
137- What are you currently writing?
14All for now
151-1c) Yes 161d) Permanently 172) Yes 183) Yes 193b) No 204) Pretty darn fast 215) They are microscopic in size 226) No. If you remove all shadow from a Ta-Matoran, you won't change his element and give him the powers of an Av-Matoran, it doesn't work that way 237) Book 11
24I don't if somethings are new or old?
1here are some questions i asked greg
2hi greg: great ending to 2007, that was possibly the best story twist ever: ok i have a few questions:
31.) can you give us an approx release date for the new movie?
42.)if the toa metru used airships to transport the matoran to mata nui, and then used parts of the airships to build the koro, what happened to all the kanoka disks?
53.) what happened to the piraka?
64.) will the toa hagah make another appearance?
75.) what will happen to the dark hunters now their fortress has been destroyed?
8thank you for your time Greg
91) 2009 is the best I can do right now, because an exact momth/date has to come from the studio. 102) More than likely, their powers were used up over the 1000 years before the Toa Mata got there. 113) Axonn took them someplace where they can be interrogated by the OOMN. 124) Possibly in web serials, but it hasn't been decided yet 135) They will have to rebuild

1Nothing new...
21) I´ve heard that every new Bionicle name costs LEGO money. Does it apply to prefixes like Ga- or Ta- as well?
32) Was any Dark Hunter killed when the Toa Nuva destroyed TSO´s fortress?
43)Can a Toa of Electricity travel at his or her element´s speed? 53a) And a Toa of Sonics?
64) We have already three Elemental Kanohi. So, are there an Elemental Kanohi for each element?
75) Concerning the OoMN team, isn´t dangerous to "hire" Vezon? I mean, he´s insane, isn´t he?
86) What does the Kanohi Rode do exactly? For example, if a person speaks with someone wearing a Rode, and that person lies, can the wearer detect the lie, or will he/she hear the truth and not the lie?
9Thanks in advance
101) Not to my knowledge 112) Most likely not 123) No 133a) No 144) The potential exists, yes, doesn't mean that they actually have ever been made. 155) Is he really more of a risk than Roodaka, Makuta Spiriah, or Takadox? 166) They will detect that the person is lying and what the truth is, yes.
26) No, they have no good in them left, because they have no light left.
3That's is really interesting. I wonder if there is a way the light could regenerate? I mean, elemental energy does replenish itself, why not this light, it is there element. Also, I wonder if they saw some of there still-light friends would they try to kill them or hold back, or even consider it. I mean, jsut because your evil doesn't mean you have no pity, in BL84MoMN left the Barraki alive, so he has pity.
5Also, just to throw something out their, would the still-light matoran recognize the evil matoran, hence hold back?
6By the by, these aren't questions for Greg, and I don't know if that needed to be in spoilers.
7No, MoMN was about to execute them actually, when Botar intervened and teleported them to the Pit. An evil being does not feel pity, that's a characteristic of good, which shadow beings do not have, as Greg said.
8Maybe you haven't read BL8 but,9Makuta attack them and their armies but spares them
10Yes, but if he truly had any pity toward them, he would have killed them; to make them suffer even more, he delayed them long enough so that their one hope out of their misery disappeared.
11If Mata Nui dies he dies too, thats why he bought time for the mahri

24I don't if somethings are new or old?
25About numer 6: There is no such physical thing as shadow. It is simply the absence of light. Therefore, you cannot 'suck' it out of someone. I hope this clears that up.
