1Ok, Mr. GregF took the time to answer some questions, so read them:::::::
21- Did the Rahaga speak Matoran, or the Hordika talk Rahi? 31) The Rahaga do speak Matoran, yes
42- All the Hordika thing is in both Mata-Metru Nui, or in only one of them? 52) It's in Metru Nui
63- Can you give me a hint of BIONICLE Adventures 9? 73) Nine? Nine is the movie book, I can't discuss movie plot, sorry 8:(
94- A hint of 2005/6, maybe, please? 104) Hmmmm. Okay. In 2005, the Toa Hordika fight a really unexpected enemy (and no, it is not Makuta or the Bohrok).

4Ah, let even more speculation begin. I list the suspects as:
5Krahka (who knows? Probably not though) 6Tahtorak (but we expected him...) 7EP Entity (love to see that guy again)
8I'm all out of speculation ideas...

#2603
1Nah, I'd say... The toa olda, or maybe mutated matoran.
#2604
1Bahrag perhaps?
#2605
1Hmmm... it could be the Bahrag, he only said Bohrok, nothing about the twins. Probably not, though. Can't be mutated matoran, none of them got mutated. Each and every one of them were protected by the silver spheres and made it to Mata Nui.
#2606
1Could be Mavrah or his Rahi. But then. . .Mavrahs dead. Right?
#2607
1Mavrah's 99%-certainly dead. It was Greg's intention, and he'll be back ONLY if there's a huge fan out-cry to do so.
#2608
1Maybe it's Dume (what? he could still be evil since he is not makuta.) or maybe the Rahaga betray them. But I think it is the Bahrag most of all.
#2609
1I`m hoping it`s Dume Hordika. ^_^
#2610
1Hello, GregF. There are a couple of storyline points that I'm not clear on. If you could help me understand the following...
21. In LoMN, Turaga Lhikan gets hit by Makuta's snaky hand of grabby evilness. How did he get there from the capsized Vahki transport? Was it by Nuju's mask power, the same way Vakama got onto the outcropping?
31) Yes
42. Why did Turaga Lhikan come? Did he know he would have to save Vakama?
52) Because he felt responsible for the Toa Metru and for the Matoran. And really, why not come? What choice was there? Stay behind in a dead city overrun with Vahki?
6On an unrelated note...
73. If there are subterranean rivers flowing down to the Metru Nui dome, doesn't that mean the silver sea is (very) gradually getting contaminated with H2O water? I bring this up because you said the Matoran of Ga-Metru have no experience with H2O, but it seems to me that it would be one of the impurities they have to remove.
83) Good question. But there is, at this point, no proof that there was a potentially polluting H20 water source prior to the events of LOMN.
94. Given that air pressure increases as one descends in altitude, would it be easier for Toa Matau to fly in Metru Nui than for Toa Lewa on Mata Nui? This makes perfect sense, because it explains why Lewa can't quite windfly properly without the extra boost that his Miru conveniently provides.
104) Makes sense to me if it makes sense to you.
11Thank you.

13Bleh, nothing earth-shaking. I'll try to come up with better questions next time.

1It's most likely not Dume Hordika, Raptor. Dume is in a sphere just like all the other matoran. In order for him to awaken, the Toa have to sacrifice their Toa power foor him, which isn't likely since they would still be Toa.
2Unless Dume is just playing sleep.
#2612
1Possibly they face the Rahaga, or maybe . . . the unlikely chance of them facing. . . Mata Nui. Probably not though.

3That's obviously not the only way they can be awakened, though. Ahkmou will be awakened by Makuta without him giving up his powers. Maybe Roodaka has some way of awakening him.
#2614
1I hope whoever the Toa-Metru/Toa Hordika face, it should be one of those back-from-the-dead enemies. I always enjoy those type of stories.

4True. I forgot about Ahkmou there.
5I don't think it could be the Bahrag. The Turaga didn't seem to know they existed in comic 4. But I might be.
#2618
1Some questions I asked a while ago... The last two are a little outdated...
2QUOTE 3Glad to hear about the encyclopedia, by the way. Here are several questions I was wondering about...
41. Who would win in a fight: a Turaga or a Bohrok Va? 51) I would give the edge to a Turaga, solely based on experience.
62. Was the primary reason for Makuta absorbing Nivawk and the Dark Hunters to gain size or to gain energy? (and don't say both:) 72) My guess would be power/energy.
83. Would you say there is any relation between the Kikanalo and the Vako rhinoceros? 93) No
104. Are there any Kikanalo on Mata Nui? 114) Yes
125. Is Krekka an intelligent rahi of some sort, or something else? 135) No, Krekka is not a Rahi.
146. Would you say the Rahaga had ever been seen by matoran (on any environ, at any time) before Vakama and co. met them? 156) Probably not, because I am not convinced there are Matoran in other environs. We have stated that the Matoran of Metru Nui traded with other environs -- we never said they were trading with Matoran.

167. When will the Dark Hunters' connection to a past enemy be revealed? 177) In Book 6, out this month
188. Was Karzahni the creator of the Morbuzakh? 198) No
#2619
1:wacko: I don't get it, how do the rahaga and toa hidorka fit into the Metrunui storyline? Where do they come from and why? and why do they have the same names as the Toa Metru/Turaga. This 2005 storyline is so confusing: :blink:
#2620
1It is most certainly NOT Dume Hordika because if giant rahi under thousands of pounds of liquid protodermis could not penetrate Ahkmou's sphere, how could Visorahk open Dume's sphere to bite him?

#2621
1That's obviously not the only way they can be awakened, though. Ahkmou will be awakened by Makuta without him giving up his powers. Maybe Roodaka has some way of awakening him.


2Not true. In LoMN the Toa did not turn into Turaga by simply releasing one matoran. Remember that there are 1000 canisters and six toa open them ALL. It's opprox 166 matoran per toa. Then there's the toa stones. When you see Lihkan out hin energy inot the stones, did he instantly become a turaga? No.
3A single toa could have easily awakened just him. I do not find it likely, though.
#2622
1I was thinking, the Rodooka is obviosly weak(weaker than the bahrag or the makuta and probably krahka) then does she beat her enemies soley eith her words and mind games? seems to me the Hordika(being half beasts) would charge her, and I dont think she would win in a physical fight. I'll ask greg.
#2623
Khote

14- A hint of 2005/6, maybe, please? 24) Hmmmm. Okay. In 2005, the Toa Hordika fight a really unexpected enemy (and no, it is not Makuta or the Bohrok).

3I realize that there is the possibility that Greg was referring to a new enemy, but I think that he was talking about the Visorak. After all, the toa deposited the six spheres on the beach of Mata-Nui and expected to make a few relatively easy trips between Mata-Nui and Metru-Nui in order to get the rest of the Matoran to their new home, but when they returned to their former abode, they found it overrun by giant venomous spiders. (The fact that we expect to see the Visorak does not mean that the toa did.) Greg probably supplied this quote just to placate Khote, since he appeared to be fishing for hints.
#2624
11. Does Roodaka serve the Visorak king?
22. If yes, does she like serving him, or is she just biding her time, waiting to take over?
33.Do visorak reproduce?
44. Is the Visorak King the very big set?
55. Is the very big set a charachter, a vehicle, both, or neither?
66. When can you tell us the names of the July/august big sets?
77. You probably can`t answer this, but is the main focus the nuva in 06, and if yes, do they transform again?
88.Were the rahaga once matoran, toa or turaga?
99. Will there be books in 06?


101-2) You'll find out 113) No. There is no biological reproduction in BIONICLE. 124) No 135) You will have a better idea (though not as much a one as I thought) when January BrickMaster comes out 146) Not yet, we are a ways away yet 157) I can tell you that there are no plans to transform the Nuva again, in '06 or afterwards. 168) Again, follow the story and find out 179) Scholastic has not put their publishing plans together yet for '06, but assuming the books sell as well in '05 as they did in '04, and as long as the toys sell, I would assume there would be. The '04 books were very successful. I would probably have to start on '06 books in the spring.

18Wow, that is quite odd, never transform the nuva ever again? o.O;; How will new fans get the heroes?
#2625
The White Rabbit
1:wacko: I don't get it, how do the rahaga and toa hidorka fit into the Metrunui storyline? Where do they come from and why? and why do they have the same names as the Toa Metru/Turaga. This 2005 storyline is so confusing: :blink:

2OK, I'm assuming you've seen and/or read the LOMN storyline, at the end you see all of the Toa Metru on the beach with all of the Matoran. But they only left with six, so you might be thinking, how did the other ones get there? Well that's where the 2005 storyline figures in. This year takes place in between when the Toa leave for Mata-Nui and when they transform into Turaga. The Toa Hordika are the Toa Metru transformed by the Visorak venom which causes mutations. In relation to this the Visorak venom transforms their "prey" into Rahi, so the Hordika are half-Rahi half-Toa The Rahaga are beings that 1)capture and save Rahi from the Visorak swarms and 2)educate the Toa Hordika about their new powers.
#2626
11.What happens to a Toa who chooses the path of virtue? I think I heard something about that before.
22.Are the Turaga telling the Toa their stories so the Toa Nuva will be prepared when they arrive at Metru Nui? Or are they just trying to tell the Toa Nuva these stories because there like most elderly?(they tell them for no good reason)
33. Do Rahi go through the same thing as Matoran, y'know like 4matoran->toa->turaga so it would be like rahi->????->rahaga?
54.Is Roodaka really that weak? From what I've heard she's weaker than just about any villain we have seen so far. Is she weaker than the Krahka? 'Cause I'm starting to think she beats everyone with mind games and cunning intellect, does she stand much of a chance in a physical fight?. Wouldn't the Hordika just charge her(being half-rahi) without waiting for her to talk? Or do they fight her as Toa Metru?



61) I haven't heard of that.
7-Odd. I sware I have before. oh well.
82) First off, I disagree with you -- most cultures value the experiences of the elderly, it's only in the US that we don't. And they are telling them so that they understand the type of dangers they may face going forward.
9-I got the feeling he was mad at me.
103) No.
11-well, whatever
124) I am not sure where you are getting this from. The only thing I have said is that she is not as powerful as Makuta, and who is? This idea that she is somehow weak is nonsense.
13-oh, well okay then, nevermind.

14I hope that helped some people.
#2627
1I had asked many questions, but there were only two that I should post here...the rest were depending on the answer to the second question to be "Yes," and it wasn't.
2Me: 31) Were all of the Metruan originally brought to Mata Nui, or are there some still left? 42) Does a mask actually transform to a Matoran level when a Matoran puts on a Noble or Great Kanohi? Like, when Jala puts on Turaga Lhikan's mask?
5Greg: 61) Yes, all were brought (he said something like that) 72) No
#2628
1hmm so Roodaka isnt as strong as makuta but still very strong interesting i thought she was weak actually like maybe as strong as a bahrag (im not saying a bohrag is weak im just sayng that 1 bahrag isnt very strong) so now Roodaka is styrong thats good
2im begining to like 2005 more and more Roodaka is awesome :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
#2629
1new roodaka stone quotes: 2me:can you tell me about how big roodaka's stone is? 3greg:Smaller than a breadbox. 4(for those who don't know what it is, all greg has said is that roodaka carries around a cool stone and it reminds us of something.) 5that narrows it down a bit although we do not now how big the makuta/mata nui stone is.
#2630
1the bahrag are physically more adapt(stronger) than roodaka, that has been confirmed(not that it really matters) but she could probably win a fight against them assuming shes faster and has abilites that would allow her too win. I think its also important that the Toa Hordika fight her and not the Toa Metru fighting her becuase the Hordika dont have much control and cant use mask powers. The Toa Metru would most likley have no problem with her seeing as they beat the Makuta so easily. So she is one of the smarter, stronger villains weve seen so far.
#2631
1Is this green set a protype or will it come out?
2Green set


3I have no idea what that is, but I do know a lot of the sets shown on the DVD were prototypes.


4Heh, I'm full of questions.
5Anyway is there going to be a Krahka set next year or don't you know?


6One of Krahka's forms can be built as a combo model using the six Toa Metru. Krahka does not have a set form, she is a shapeshifter, so what would you make a set of?


7Is it true that Roodaka likes chucking Visorak off high places?


8When they have it coming, yes


9so not just for fun?


10Tends to be more when they have disobeyed .. or questioned her orders .. or looked at her the wrong way .. or looked at her for too long .. etc., etc.


11I have some questions
121) When will we get Bios on the Hordika, I CAN'T WAIT. 132) Do the different coloured Visoark have their own powers 143) If so what are they 154) Is Roodaka the 'queen' Visorak
16Thnx


171) January comic. 182) Yes, each Visorak breed has a unique spinner power, a unique extra power, and then they all have a default paralysis power. 193) I'm not releasing them yet 204) No, there is no queen Visorak. Roodaka is the viceroy of the Visorak. (It does refer to her as queen in Book 7, but that is a mistake which is being fixed in the second printing.)
21Greg


#2632
1Nice...chucking Visorak off of high places, hehe. I'm glad they caught that printing mistake...viceroy, that reminds me of Star Wars. 2Wait...the six Toa Metru have a combiner of one of Krahka's forms? Where are the instuctions?
#2633
1I wonder if its posable for Roodaka's rock to be the mahiki stones( There the key to Makuta's{or roodaka's?} lair)... Mabie, just an idea I think it would be intrasting, but its probally a Toa stone(But you never know...)

#2638
1'05 Spoilers:

















2These are mainly about Rhotuka. An "if you can answer" goes along with all of these. ;)

  • 3How did the Toa Hordika get thepower to throw Rhotuka? Did it come with being bitten? Or some other way?
    4Came with the mutation.
  • 5The Rhotuka are energy... does that mean that each one is "shot" sortof like an advanced phaser from Star Trek, that there is a generator, and each time it makes a new energy Rhotuka? Or does each Rhotuka stay in existence like Kanoka do?
    6No, they do not stay in existence. They are not physical objects like Kanoka, they are energy.


  • 7Similarly, are the launchers (storyline-wise) "built in" to the people who launch Rhotuka? Or are they more like gear that's attached?
    8Some characters have mechanical launchers, but the Toa's launchers are part of their anatomy.
  • 9You have said that the Hordika have elemental powers, but use them in a different way... some of your recent answers make it sound like firing elemental Rhotuka is that way? Is that correct?
    10Yes


  • 11The Rahaga combiners that launch Rhotuka... are they Rahi? Or characters like the Visorak or Rahaga? If they're Rahi, how do they have Rhotuka launchers?
    12Well, the Hordika are half Rahi, and ta da, they have Rhotuka launchers. So do these particular Rahi.

  • 13About the Visorak King and Roodaka... would you classify them as Visorak themselves? (This question is about Roodaka if you don't want to discuss the King. ;)) Because Roodaka looks nothing like a Visorak spider.
    14No, they are not Visorak.
  • 15This one I assume you can't comment on... but I have gotten the distinct impression that the relationship between Roodaka and Visorak is like master to slave/soldier. Am I way off base on this, and the chucking off cliffs thing is just like how any evil leader will at times betray his or her minions? In other words, do the Visorak serve her willingly? (Not sure if "serve" is the right term since she's only a viceroy, but you know..)
    16They serve her because not to do so would get them killed, or worse. They serve the king because he gives them what they want -- the chance to hunt -- and they serve Roodaka more out of respect for her power and fear.

1Interesting, I PMed Greg last night asking if they would be rereleasing the Toa Nuva, Turaga and Matoran for the 2006 journey to Metru Nui. He said no (although product plans are not fully set yet).
2Will our heroes be yet again changed, perhaps destroyed, perhaps put to "sleep" (become inactive)?
3I mean, doesent it only make sense that if they were the main characters for 2006 they would be rereleased?
4As you can see, I'm irked about this. Something tells me we won't be seeing too much of our heroes in 2006.
