1sorry to bother you greg, but the latest info of the toa iruini has been bugging me.
21. does the toa rahaga forced to become rahaga have anything to do with roodaka's rock?
32. the toa rahaga we'll see as sets will be iruini and norik, right?
43. does this list of the 5 mystery sets correct (i found it on this topic): 5-battle for metru-nui playset. 6-smaller playset that can combine with the 'battle for metru-nui'. 7-another small playset that can combine. 8-toa iruini. 9-toa norik.
104. will we see later on this year how the toa rahaga became rahaga?
115. does lego plan to do more bionicle system sets in the future (after this year)?
126. what is the visorak king's goal? similar to what makuta wanted, to make the matoran believe his their conquer?
137. is the release date for the 3rd movie will be like the last two, around september/october?
148. how come countries like israel never get all the good stuff, like the books or the comics?
15thanks in advance for answering these:
161) No, Roodaka's rock is long after that event 172) Yes 183) Basically, yes, though the other playsets are not THAT small. 194) Yes 205) We are hoping to, though I am sure it will depend partly on how they sell in 2005 216) No. The Visorak's focus is really on the Rahi, because the Matoran are already asleep. They really aren't an issue. 227) Probably, yes 238) Well, as far as the comics go, the local marketing people for the LEGO Company decide what they will and won't spend money on. Right now, the US is the only country where the market spends their money on the comic every month, no one else gets it regularly. As for the books, it's up to Scholastic to negotiate deals to get them published in other countries, LEGO has no say in that

251. i thought they had a connection... oh well... 262. that's an official confirmation. 273. really? the 5 mystery sets aren't so mysterious now::::: we finally know who they are:::: 284. yay: 295. i hope they'll sell good. i've been dying to see something like a nuva minifig. 306. oh, good to know. 317.cool. 328. now, that's not fair...
1all right - the question, wich propably wasn't asked because everybody was feared of "Can't Answer it"
7So now we know that the Toa Rahaga were not in Lhikans group. I think they wold be designed like the metru, because Greg is always saying that they don't look like Hordika but He isn't telling anything about the Metru...
22) But what would a mask of protodermis do? Why would you want a mask to create solid protodermis when everything around you already is solid protodermis?
3Ok... So it creates only solid proto... But i think, it's like a toa of stone, and toa of earth - both can make earthquakes. so now a toa of stone would be similar to a Toa of Protodermis (huh? In my comics, i can control every type of proto...) Right? So My question is - is it possible to create a disk, and a mask of protodermis? From all i saw in Bionicle world, it could be...
4Oh OH: And one more question - Were the Rahaga part of Lhikans 10 Toa group?
51) Arguably, a Toa of Ice, Stone, Earth, Water are all Toa of Protodermis, because the earth, stone, and water of BIONICLE are made of protodermis. So a Toa of Protodermis would be redundant.
62) No.
7So now we know that the Toa Rahaga were not in Lhikans group. I think they wold be designed like the metru, because Greg is always saying that they don't look like Hordika but He isn't telling anything about the Metru...
1Aw, crackles... I really wish the second Rahaga Toa would have been Gaaki... would've been nice to see another female Toa.
2I wonder if these Rahaga Toa will have many new/exclusive parts... if not, then it might be possible to build approximations of the other four.
3Well, hate to say, Norik and Iruini have exclusive masks and aren't similar to the Hordika (so no re-using hordika parts). Iruini is green (body) and gold (accents) and Norik is red and silver. So it would be hard to create the others.
1More answers from Greg. Some are very interesting: 2Sorry about this Greg, but my head is so full of questions it might just blow up:
31) So has it been finally revealed that the Rahaga are mutated Toa? Or is there more to that?
42) Toa Iruini is a Toa of____
53) What is Toa Iruini doing in the storyline? Isn't he a Rahaga by now? Or is it another flashback?
64) Were all the Rahaga once Toa?
75) If so, is their group of Toa prior to Lhikan's and Dume's?
86) Do any Toa of Lhikan's or Dume's group still exist on other environs?
97) How old are the Rahaga?
108) How did a mask transform Takua into a Toa? Isn't a Toa stone needed?
119) Can Takanuva fly? He could fly in BIONICLE: The Game.
1210) Approximately how many generations of Toa have there been so far? 6? 36?? 100???
1311) Is time considered as an element? If so, is there a Toa of Time, or has there ever been one?
1412) How did the Great and Noble Kanohi masks end up on Mata Nui? Were they always there?
1513) Are there any races other than the Matoran?
1614) How long is the time period between the dawn of time and the time before time?
1715) What is Makuta actually? In comic 2 it says he is a dark spirit.
1816) In total how many bohrok were built?
1917) Are the silver spheres made of solid protodermis?
2018) Makuta was planning to enforce endless sleep by putting the Matoran in the spheres, right? But how does the spheres put the Matoran to sleep?
2119) In LoMN, why did the stone representing Makuta split in two? What does it signify?
2220) At the start of LoMN, Mata Nui was awake, right? Then he was put to sleep by Makuta, right? Then how come when the Toa arrived on Mata Nui with all the spheres he was awake? How and when did he wake up? 23I'm still not clear with the chronicle of events here.
24Last but not least, 2521) The bohrok are only to awaken when the inhabitants on Mata Nui leave, right? Does that mean that in 2006 when the Toa, Turaga and all the Matoran finally leave Mata Nui for good, the bohrok will awaken again:?
26Thank you so much Greg

281) Follow the story and find out 292) Air 303) He is part of the Rahaga's origin story 314) Yes 325) No 336) We will have to find out. At this point, there is no info on their groups in the story bible 347) Oh, a few thousand years, I guess 358) Evidently not. There are no hard and fast rules about becoming a Toa -- you have seen two methods so far, doesn't mean that's all there is. 369) No. Software always takes liberties with the story. 3710) Can't answer it 3811) I doubt there has been or ever will be one. He would be too powerful and would unbalance the stories. 3912) No, they were brought there by the Toa Metru 4013) Time will tell 4114) Couldn't even begin to tell you 4215) Can't answer it 4316) Oh, gee, thousands, probably 4417) Everything in BIONICLE is made of solid protodermis 4518) Same way the cocoons turn you into Hordika. They are injected with something when they are inside. 4619) At the beginning of the movie? 4720) He wasn't awake when they arrived on Mata Nui. You forget that they credit Mata Nui with everything, including the sunrise and the sunset a thousand years after he went to sleep. Vakama credited Mata Nui with his vision which led him to find Mata Nui the island in the first place. 4821) Only if the Bahrag are freed from their prison. If they're not, then the Bohrok will not return to Mata Nui.

50Gosh, Greg can't answer 15: I'll bet you anything he was a Toa: Remember the LoMN credits? They showed the masks of all the Toa? Makuta was there:
1Jabbadeep, MAKUTA WAS NEVER TOA. That was for a while. he is a spirit or being.
1SPOILERS:
2Not too many this time.
31. Toa Iruini isn't a Hordika because he has a mask, right?
42. Can you tell us what element he represents?
53. How 'bout his mask power?
64. Since all the Rahaga were Toa, why aren't all of them significant except 7for two of them?
85. Can you tell us about the other Toa?
9Thank you.
10Tokika
111) No, Iruini was never a Toa Hordika. 122) Air 133) Not yet 144) Yes, but in the origin story we are telling, four were already Rahaga while Iruini and Norik were still Toa. Plus, we have to consider the number of sets we are putting out in a year -- we already have six Rahaga, six Hordika, six Visorak, three big sets, three play sets, plus two more Toa -- doing another four would probably mean people couldn't afford all of them. 155) Norik is the other Toa set. 16--------------------------------
171. Thought so. 182. Just making sure. 193. Darn. 204. Cool: So some Toa become Rahaga/Turaga later then others... 215. Yay: Kualus would have been good again.

22Tokika
11: Toa Iruini? Does that mean that a Rahaga is the final stage of Hordika?(in other words, Rahaga is the Turaga form of an uncured Hordika?)
21) No. Iruini was never a Toa Hordika.
32: Or, does that mean that other creatures can become Toa(because Matoran came from MetruNui) and that the Turaga form of thse other creatures are Rahaga?
42) No again.
53. So, we now know(to an extent) what 4 of the 5 sets are.(Toa Iruini, and 3 playsets)
63) Yup
74: How many Rhotuka are in a Rhotuka pack?
84) Um, I think 5, but not certain off the top of my head.
95: do they come in a box or canister?
105) Box
116: what comes with them, Rhotuka and a launcher and cord? or just Rhotuka?
126) Just Rhotuka, because all the sets have launchers and ripcords
137: How many figures does the first playset come with?
147) Don't know offhand. I can try to find out
158: How many peices is the first playset?
168) Again, i don't have that info. I am at home.
179: Toa Iruni: new body design?(ie, Toa v 5.0?)
189) I haven't taken a real hard look at him, but he does have a new tool and a new mask.
1910: He's green right?
2010) Yes, green and gold I think
2111: You said his weapon is a spear correct?
2211) Yes
2312: Does he have any new accesory type things?(Shields, rhotuka, etc.)
2412) I would have to check. He may have the launcher as well.
2513: You said he had a new Kanohi correct?
2613) Yes
2714: what color is it?
2814) Again, I'm home, so I don't have access to the model to check
2916: what is its power?
3016) You'll have to wait a bit on that one
3117: His element is Air correct?
3217) Yes
3318: does that mean that the Rahaga have elemental powers?
3418) No, it means they did when they were Toa
3519: Are they on par with the Turaga
3619) See answer to #18
3720: oh, I just thought of this one, Duma has some power over fire right?
3820) The real Dume did, yes
3921: did makutaduma have power over fire?
4021) No.
41thanks Greg
21) No. Iruini was never a Toa Hordika.

41thanks Greg
1dumehordika, I have reason to suspect the legitimacy of your PMs, because of the obvious grammatical mistakes, (isnt,yet). As well as the fact that Greg always captitalizes BIONICLE, like that. If you could provide a quote my doubts would be laid to rest.

2I would have to agree with buzz987. That does not look like a GregF reply. Plus we all know that the reason the Turaga have those masks is because they wore the Great versions of them, and when they Turaga-ized, their mask bacame Noble. And electricity has already been used as an element -- Tahnok-Kal. Please provide a quote. Or, if GregF would post (if he has time) about this.
3-Kualus-
1iv asked him a couple questions- 2me-why do the turaga have the same masks as the great disk metruoran? 3gregf-bionicles give tribute to 'dead' bionicles,so the turaga changed their masks in honor of them. 4me-why isnt electricity an element? 5gregf-because it isnt,yet.
6I highly doubt that. They already had those mask powers, and didn't ave to change masks. Besides, the =Nuhri and Co. aren't dead.
1QUOTE 21.) Were more matoran rescued from metru-nui to mata-nui? Did the turgra do that?
32.) How long was it till the toa olda came?
43.) If the Visorak's poison made them toa hordika, then it doesn't follow the movie storyline::: what say you to that?
5Thanks again in advance.
61) 2005 is the story of the Great Rescue
72) About 1000 years
83) Actually, it does, KE. Here's how:
9-- In LOMN, you see the Toa Metru leave Metru Nui with six Matoran spheres, after Makuta's defeat. Right?
10-- But when they awaken the Matoran on Mata Nui and become Turaga, there are way more than just six spheres there.
11-- So the whole story of how they rescued the Matoran from Metru Nui, including the Visorak aspect, took place between when they first left with the six Matoran spheres and when they awoke the Matoran on the beach. The same way that the entire Morbuzakh storyline took place during LOMN but wasn't shown there. The story of the Great Rescue would have taken too long to tell in LOMN, so we saved it for another movie.
12Greg
13ME: So does that mean the toa hordika(or if they change again, whatever) turn back into Toa Metru?(sometime,somewhere?)[/QUOTE]
14Greg: They had to, because they were Toa Metru when they awakened the Matoran. And you will find out how and when they changed to Toa Metru next year.
151.) How did the masks get on mata nui? Did the toa-metru bring them along?
162.) How did makuta get out of the protodermis chamber?
173.) The Miru.... If you jump off a cliff, would that be needed to fly? Becaus I heard that you needed both the mask of speed and the miru to get off the ground.
184.) Following 3.) Did pohatu jump off the ground or what? (when the brahag were imprisoned)
195.)Is there anything above Mata-nui? Anything below Metru-nui?
206.) Why does Mata-nui look like a face?
217.)What's the difference between the great Rau and the noble Rau? Translation is translation, huh? (same thing with huna.)
228.) What was the purpose of the silver canisters? Energy for Makuta or something?
239.) What happened to the toa hordika? (in the movie)

37Greg: 1) Yes
382) You'll find out in '06
393) The Miru would let you levitate so you would not fall
404) The mask of speed can get you off the ground, same as it does for the Flash. Run in place at super-speed and you lift off the ground.
415) Well, the sky is above Mata Nui. As for below Metru Nui, who knows?
426) Does it? I hadn't noticed.
437) The Great Mask lets you translate spoken language, not just written language. The Great Huna lets you stay invisible for a lot longer than the Noble one does.
448) No. They were places to store the Matoran and delivery systems for what made them lose their memories eventually.
459) Nothing happened to them in this year's movie. Their story is next year's movie.
4610) That answer is revealed next year too
4711) Simple. He invested the six Toa stones with a portion of his energy, his Toa power. Once that power was tapped to create the Toa Metru, his sacrifice was complete and his destiny achieved, so he became a Turaga.
48THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS A MOVIE ABOUT THE HORDIKIA NEXT YEAR::::::::: Yay:::
49I hope I've provided some useful information. By the way, are the questions here put into the GregF database?

26Greg: 1.) How did the masks get on mata nui? Did the toa-metru bring them along?
272.) How did makuta get out of the protodermis chamber?
283.) The Miru.... If you jump off a cliff, would that be needed to fly? Becaus I heard that you needed both the mask of speed and the miru to get off the ground.
294.) Following 3.) Did pohatu jump off the ground or what? (when the brahag were imprisoned)
305.)Is there anything above Mata-nui? Anything below Metru-nui?
316.) Why does Mata-nui look like a face?
327.)What's the difference between the great Rau and the noble Rau? Translation is translation, huh? (same thing with huna.)
338.) What was the purpose of the silver canisters? Energy for Makuta or something?
349.) What happened to the toa hordika? (in the movie)
3510.) Why does Nuju talk in beeps and stuff? Does he do it on purpose or something happened?
3611.) How did Likhan turn into a turgra in the prison of the dark hunters?
37Greg: 1) Yes
382) You'll find out in '06
393) The Miru would let you levitate so you would not fall
404) The mask of speed can get you off the ground, same as it does for the Flash. Run in place at super-speed and you lift off the ground.
415) Well, the sky is above Mata Nui. As for below Metru Nui, who knows?
426) Does it? I hadn't noticed.
437) The Great Mask lets you translate spoken language, not just written language. The Great Huna lets you stay invisible for a lot longer than the Noble one does.
448) No. They were places to store the Matoran and delivery systems for what made them lose their memories eventually.
459) Nothing happened to them in this year's movie. Their story is next year's movie.
4610) That answer is revealed next year too
4711) Simple. He invested the six Toa stones with a portion of his energy, his Toa power. Once that power was tapped to create the Toa Metru, his sacrifice was complete and his destiny achieved, so he became a Turaga.
48THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS A MOVIE ABOUT THE HORDIKIA NEXT YEAR::::::::: Yay:::
49I hope I've provided some useful information. By the way, are the questions here put into the GregF database?
1Here is my latest. 2Look at number 6 is the second set.
3Hey Greg: 2005 looks as though it is going to be a great year: I though almost nothing could top 2004:
41. Why do the Toa Hordika have tools? Is it just so they can launch their 5Rhotuka? 61) As with normal Toa tools, they have a regular use and an elemental based use (charging the spinners)
72. How did the Turaga learn that beings can be brought back to life 8(ex. Jaller)? 92) They didn't. The only time that has happened is when Makuta gave up his life force to revive Jaller, so we have to assume it was Makuta who knew about that. Someone told me on the DVD it is stated that Turaga and Matoran can bring beings back to life -- as far as I know, that is inaccurate (if it were true, why ever worry about anyone getting killed, if you can just pop them back to life?)
103.Makuta had the other environs sealed off, so why was the Great 11Barrier left open? Did Makuta plan to take the Matoran to Mata Nui? 123) The crack in the barrier was the result of the earthquake Makuta caused.
134.Turaga Dume was sleeping, so was his memory erased too? 144) We will have to find out when he comes back into the story
155.Why weren't Lego Club members offered the chance to order the 16Hordika early? 175) Shop At Home plans their specials based on the listed release dates for the sets. They had no way of knowing the BIONICLE team would decide to release the Hordika early.
186. When you said that the Hordika would fight an unexpected enemy, did 19you mean the Visorak? 206) No.
217. The Toa Disks are basically used to recharge, right? 227) No.
238. How did Lhikan recognize Makuta right away? 248) He had obviously met him before.
259. Why did the Matoran see Makuta as a protector? 269) Because that was his job.
2710. Was it part of Makuta's destiny to save the Matoran from the Visorak 28(he probably knew they were watching the city), so he put they to 29sleep to kill two birds with one stone? 3010) No. He wasn't acting to save them from the Visorak.
3111. The Matoran's names weren't erased from their memories right, 32because otherwise how would the Turaga know who everyone was? 3311) I am confused by this question -- the Turaga's memories weren't erased, so they would still know who everyone was regardless of the state of the Matorans' memories.
34(I wanted to know how the Turaga would know all those names.)
3512. Isn't it possible that the Toa Olda look different from the Metru 36because they are from different generations? 3712) It's possible.
38Thanks for the Christmas present... but now I have questions about that:
391. Did Lhikan know Iruini in his Toa form? 401) Doubtful
412. Were the other rahaga Toa also? 422) Yes
433. Did Toa Iruini use a Rhotuka launcher? 443) I don't recall off the top of my head if the set has one or not, so I would have to hold off answering this one.
454. When will Toa Iruini first appear in the comics? 464) Don't know yet
475. The Rahaga aren't intelligent Rahi, right? 485) No
496. With Toa Iruini and Norik telling the origin, this means the flashback will be on a new island/environ? 506) Yes
517. How do you pronounce the Rahaga's names. 527) Noar-ick, I-roo-knee, Gah-kee, Pooks, Bo-mahn-gah, Koo-ahl-uss.
538. Iruini had a spear, what too did Norik have? 548) He has a spear too
559. Is Norik red and silver? 569) Think so
5710. How is Visorak pronounced? 5810) Vih-SOAR-ack
59Thanks:

61Ja-Metru
1Oh Man, oh man, a new environment: You hit the jackpot there Ja-Metru, I wonder where it will be? This is going to be so sweet. Again, nice job on those batches of questions and answers.
1iv asked him a couple questions- 2me-why do the turaga have the same masks as the great disk metruoran? 3gregf-bionicles give tribute to 'dead' bionicles,so the turaga changed their masks in honor of them. 4me-why isnt electricity an element? 5gregf-because it isnt,yet.
6I'm seriously doubting whether this is genuine or not. Firstly, Greg will never say 'bionicles'. Secondly Greg always capitalises the word BIONICLE. You don't have to fake a quote, you can just PM him, its not that much trouble to do it.
7BTW Ja-Metru, this is very interesting- so the Rahaga's origin story takes place in another land on some other place? That is interesting...
1First of all - I have to remind You all that You can lost proto of reminding 5 or 6 times the same guy... So stop it. The second: i think i found something interesting down there, so read.
13The interesting things are the second and the fifth.
2Hello Greg: some questions down there: 31)Well I was reading the answer in Your official topic, and i found something. People were asking You "Does Toa Iruini look like a Hordika or Metru?" And You always reply that he doesn't look like Hordika but You didn't say anything about the Metru. So my question is -Does Toa Iruini and Toa Norik look like a Toa Metru?
42) Will the "Toa Rahaga" be realeased with some kind of rahi or somehing, or they will be in a can?
53) Could You tell us something about the 2 mistery play sets? Like what figures they have, or whats their names?
64) I have some theory on the Rahaga origins - They were Toa, then they fullfilled their destiny and changed into Turaga and when they were Turagas, they were bitten by Visorak and changed into Rahaga. correct?
75)Oh and one more thing - i found Rahaga on S@H by mistake. It said, that they can be shipped right now to UK. Isn't it in Europe? I Though Rahaga will be in Europe in March...
81) I haven't answered because all I have seen are pics of the prototype, we don't have the actual set in CT. So I can't comment on what Toa style it is in. 92) I believe they are in cans. 103) Nope. Already gave BZP its Christmas gift 114) Nope. I will give you a major clue -- Visorak had nothing to do with their transformation (and yes, you will learn what did). 125) It may well be that the BIONICLE folks decided to release them early, the same way they did with the Hordika in the US
13The interesting things are the second and the fifth.
1The interesting things are the second and the fifth.
2Yeah, the UK release date for the Metruan was March, but most places had them in January. The Visorak'll turn up in January at Argos for sure, they always have new sets early, and Lego stores'll have them in Febuary, or at least they did for the Toa Metru...

1QUOTE 2Hi,
3I have some question:
41)Are the toa hordika in the play sets bigger than the minifigs?
52)Does all the sets we saw in LoMN will be realase in 2005 and/or 2006?
6Thanks,
7Soua Nuva
81) Don't know. 92) A lot of the sets on the LOMN DVD were prototypes that aren't necessarily being released. That is the work area where the designers experiment with different things, it wasn't meant to be a product line-up.

2hi greg:just a few...32enjoy:
31)is it true norik will be the other toa rahaga?
42)if so would he what colours will he be?
53)i know it is forced apon them.but does becoming a rahaga happen slowly or quickly?
64)Did lhikan have any info on the rahaga.
75)in book 3 whenua siad krahka turned to something horrible and shot the stuff that stuck him to the wall at him.could it have been a visorahk?
86)did roodka have anything to do with the rahaga transfromaton?
97)what comic and book are you up to?
108)will krahka be in the rahi guide?
119)does protodremis have anything to do with the rahaga transformation.
1210)how smart is the average visorahk?
1311)in a afight how would win? a rahkshi or a visorahk?
1412)are the toa rahaga on the same power level as lhikan,metru and the olda?
1513)are any other of the turaga as scarred as vakakama by the metru storyline?
1614)how long will B3 be?
17thats all for now.thank you in advance: also merry christmas and congrats on gettin engaged:
181) Yes
192) Red and silver, I think
203) Pretty darn instantaneously
214) Nope
225) No, Krahka had never seen a Visorak and so could not imitate one
236) Follow the story and find out
247) Just finished Book 9, starting on the Encyclopedia, and in between comics right now
258) Yes
269) No
2710) As smart as your average mercenary
2811) Would probably depend on which Rahkshi and which Visorak you were talking about. Also, Visorak rarely fight by themselves, they usually are in a squad
2912) Yes
3013) Not as much, but they all have scars from it
3114) Around the same length as the other two -- that is how long direct to video animated features are, roughly 70-75 minutes.

1I ran dumehordika's quote by Greg, he did say something similar to that; dumehordika must have misinterpreted.

8This was posted in the OGD topic... clearly, these are not direct quotes from you.. but even the answers seem wrong. I wanted to bring this to your attention - did you say anything like this to this member?
9No, I never referred to "Dead" BIONICLE characters -- what I said was that Matoran masks are carved in the shape of Great and Noble masks, so the fact that those Matoran happened to be wearing Noble mask shapes simply means those masks existed as Noble Masks at some point.
10As for electricity, that basically was my answer -- the original creators of BIONICLE designated the six elements, and beyond light, we have not done Toa of (blank) yet. Doesn't mean we never will, means we haven't yet.

1Hers some stuff:
42Interesting...
2QUOTE 3QUOTE 4QUOTE 5Hi: Happy Holidays: Hope you got what you wanted for Christmas. Anyway, to the q's...
61. I haven't been on for a while so when I heard about this Toa Iruini thing I kinda wiged out, so...can you fill me in? And is "Battle of Metru Nui" a game or a set?
72. Will we be seeing any new masks soon? I really like collecting those:
83. Will we be seeing any new elements soon? Fire, water, etc. are getting boring. I want to see stuff like Electrisity & Nature & Storm:
94. Will any of the Rahaga/Hordika combiners be important in the storyline?
105. What is your favorite bionicle movie?
116. The Kraakan kinda looks like a mutated Avokii, are they related. If you can't tell me, can you say if they were made bybthe same person?
127. Is it possible to have a Toa of Time? If so, what would his/her powers be? Time Travel? What time period would he/she live in? Toa Nuva or Toa Metru?
138. What's the Kanohi Dragon? I'm hearing alot about this & it doesn't make sence tome so I thought I would get the answers from the soarce.
149. Who's your favorite Toa?
1510. On the LoMN speical features, they said we would be seeing new islands VERY soon. But if 2005 takes place on Metru Nui, do they mean 2006?
1611. I also heard that Norik is a Toa too, WHAT?: Please explain whats going on. Are all the Rahaga becoming or were toa?
1712. Is the Kiril one of a kind?
18Thank you for your time again: Seasons Greetings:
191) Toa Iruini is a set of Rahaga Iruini back when he was a Toa. Battle of Metru Nui is a playset, like the ones we do for Star Wars.
202) Two this year that I know of.
213) I think next year you probably will, at least once.
224) Some play a role, yes
235) LOMN
246) I have no info on the origin of either mask
257) Not if I can help it, no. When you start having time powers be a regular part of the story, then you screw the whole storyline up. After all, what's to stop a Toa of Time from stopping Mata Nui from ever going to sleep, and then there is no BIONICLE story?
268) Kanohi Dragon is a fan-built model that is in next year's Rahi Guide.
279) Kopaka
2810) Yes
2911) They were Toa, before becoming Rahaga
3012) No
31Thanks for the great answers: Sorry but four more Q's I forgot to ask:
3213. Were the Bohrok/Bahrag/Exo-Toa created before or after Mata-Nui was put to sleep?
3314. Since the Exo-Toa are called Exo-"TOA" does that mean they were built "expeically" for the Toa's use?
3415. You gave us a little hint( I can't find the quote) that their was a Toa of Electrisity coming up...when? Will it become a set? Will it be yellow?(OH JOY
3516.(Last one) Is it official that Sidorahk is the Visorahk ruler?
36Thanks again:
3713) Before 3814) Most likely 3915) No, I didn't. The question asked was why isn't electricity treated as an element, and I said because it hasn't been yet. "Yet" doesn't mean it ever will be, it simply means what it says -- we haven't used it yet.
4016) No, I have not said anything one way or another on Sidorak, and won't until BA #7 is out.
41Greg
42Interesting...
1Hey, Greg:
2I'll just get along to the questions... but many of them are about the Q&A session at Fairless Hills.
31. Are you guys finishing up the 2006 storyline about now?
41) Last I heard, the bible is being worked on.
5Cool.
62. You said Roodaka's claw-thingy is for catching Rhotuka. Do you know if it can in real life? (And how often does she do it in the story?)
72) No idea on real life, I haven't built the set. It probably could.
8Again I say, cool.
93. You might not be able to answer this, but is Roodaka responsible for the Rahaga's transformation?
103) Can't answer it
11T'was worth a try.
124. As you said at Fairless Hills Q & A session, it is a possibility that the Toa Nuva "sail" around to other islands. Would this fit into the other possibility of the searching for masks? (Sailing to islands to find masks?) That would make a good video game, you know.
134) You'll have to wait and see
14Now, DON'T GO CRAZY over hearing this. Greg let me post this info now, but this is all just A POSSIBILITY so don't go making a topic on it screaming: NEW ISLANDS: MORE MASK HUNTING: BLAH BLAH:
155. Does the Kanohi Dragon have any powers, other than being extra big and strong?
165) Yup. It could fly, it had fire breath, and it had two fiery blades on its tail.
176. What color is the Kanohi Dragon?
186) Red, mainly
197. How big is the Kanohi Dragon, compared to a Toa?
207) Oh, pretty gosh darn big -- even the model is a good three times the size of a Toa, and in "real life" it would be much bigger than that.
21Better mind picture of the Kanohi Dragon now.
228. Is the reason for the bigger sets being simpler to build is that kids find the older ones too difficult to build? If not, why the change?
238) Which sets are you referring to? The reason we aren't doing sets with the complexity/price tag of the 2001 Rahi or the 2002 Bahrag is simply that those sets did not sell. Whether it had to do with the complexity of the build, I don't know -- but I did have one fan tell me that once the sets reach a certain size, they stop looking like something BIONICLE and just look like a TECHNIC model.
24Hit the nail on the head.... or the head on the nail.>.<
259. Any luck on finding pictures of the BIONICLE playsets? (You mentioned you'd see if you could find any.)
269) I have not been back at work to look for them, I am on vacation.
27Ah, that's okay:
28Merry Christmas:

Anyway, more GregF-isms: 2Hi: Just one question:
3So, lemmer get this straight -- the Morbuzahk, Vahki, Dark Hunters, and Makuta were all secretly putting matoran in statsis?
4-Kualus-
5No, the Morbuzakh wasn't. The Morbuzakh's job was to drive the Matoran from the outskirts of the city to the center of the city. The Dark Hunters were there to capture Lhikan and later the Toa Metru. The Vahki were putting Matoran into stasis on orders from Dume/Makuta.

1Hey, TT -- don't go as far to say a BIONICLE boat.... they might fly.
2~Roodaka
3Yeah, but then it wouldn't be sailing to other islands, would it? At least not literally. 4But I gotta say, I like the possibility of a Bionicle boat set. Not enough to ask torritorri for his padded cell, but I like it,

1These questions were pretty interesting. Especially #6.

2Hey Greg: Happy Holidays: Just have a few questions this time.
31. Can you give a list of all the sets Brickmasters will be recieving this year?
42. About how big is the Battle for Metru Nui going to be?
53. Is there going to be any behind the scenes information on Bionicle in the upcoming Brickmaster mag?
64.Witch comic next year will tell the Rahagas origins?
75. Do the Rahaga tell the Hordika that they were Toa immediatly? Or do they tell them later?
86. Are we going to see any Krawwa or Kikanlalo in the near future? I really want to see them.
9Thanks in advance, 10Jeremy752
111) No, I can't. We are still in the process of putting the list together, to make sure we get the best sets we can for each issue.
122) Haven't built the set.
133) Yes, every issue will have exclusive BIONICLE info
144) Don't know for sure yet
155) Not immediately, no
166) Maybe. Kikanalo are in the movie this year, of course.
17Enjoy:
1I just read Voyage of Fear, so that's what most of these are about.
46Well, loved the book, the whole way the story progressed was perfect. And it was full of ingenious ideas, like the Rahi, the reasons the Kralhi joined up with Mavrah, the history of the whole thing, brilliant.
- 2If leaking n the Matoran pods could cause drowning, or at least as far as the Toa Metru knew, that implies the Matoran are breathing. Well, if so, then why do they not suffocate in the pods?
3ANSWER: A BIONICLE version of the life support systems used on submarines. Also, due to the suspended animation they are in, they are probably breathing at a far reduced rate.
- 4On that subject, do the pods supply the equivalent of nutrients? 'Cuz they're obviously not eating, or however that works in Bionicle.
5ANSWER: No, they are in suspended animation -- their life processes are so slow they don't require nutrition.
- 6I'm sure you've been asked this before, but what was the long, serpentlike creature that was 65 ft long? Just another newly made up one?
7ANSWER: Yup. That's what I do all day, make up creatures.
- 8Several times, Onewa comments on "what's in the mind" of the person or creature he mind-controls. I thought he couldn't use it to read minds at all? He comments on what one of the Rahi thinks about, and that Whenua's mind is disorganized.
9ANSWER: My way of thinking is this -- if I jump into your car to drive it someplace, my attention may be focused purely on steering and where I am going. But I can't help but notice the food wrappers on the passenger seat, your box of CDs, etc. Same idea -- you are steering someone's mind, it's hard not to notice what is around you.
- 10So, Mavrah thought that the fighting with Vahki was a trick? (When we first see him in the story, after Matau tries to take the Lhikan back to Metru Nui.)
11ANSWER: Yes, he did.
- 12Who made the underwater carvings Nokama found while scouting ahead?
13ANSWER: The same beings who dug the tunnel.
- 14Vakama's vision: "Monstrous Rahi, ancient when Metru Nui was young... driven fromtheir home waters... jaws oppened wide, tentacles reaching, reaching..." Do you happen to know what drove them from their home?
15ANSWER: Yes, I do. But if I tell you, they might try to drive you from your home waters too
- 16And what was it if you can reveal (assuming you can't).
17ANSWER: You assume correctly.
- 18That poor Vahki transport... it's a wonder all the spheres weren't lost..
Or that there's anything left of the transport.
19ANSWER: Yeah, they don't build Vahki transports like they used to. Wait until you see what happens to the Lhikan II in Book 7.
- 20How high is the Coliseum, anyways? It was said that one of the serpents was as long as that. Any estimation?
21ANSWER: Well, we know it is the tallest building in Metru Nui. We also know the king root of the Morbuzakh was roughly the size of the Chrysler Building in NYC, so we have to assume the Coliseum is bigger than that.
- 22I take it the Rahi in Metru Nui tend to have more of a mind than these ones? Because we know Vahki fight Rahi all the time there, and they seemed unused to fighting such mindless beasts here.
23ANSWER: Yeah, it's sort of like the difference between dealing with an escaped gorilla or a pack of wild dogs and suddenly running into dinosaurs.
- 24Physics question... why did that frozen serpent sink? Ice floats...
25ANSWER: Made for a cooler scene if he sank.
- 26Naming Day Gifts... is that a holiday in Metru Nui?
27ANSWER: Yes, and on Mata Nui as well.
- 28In the description of the Rahi project in Metru Nui, Toa Lhikan is mentioned a few times, but it seems that it's implied that he's a lone Toa already. But this was during the time of the real Dume, and you've said the other Toa disappeared after that. Was that just not established yet when VoF was written? Or... did for some reason they only think Lhikan was worth mentioning, 'cuz he was the leader?
29ANSWER: He was, at that time, the lone Toa because the others were off on missions. Then they returned. That is why Makuta/Dume sending them off didn't send out warningbells, because they did that sort of thing a lot.
- 30Was he the leader of his group, come to think of it?
31ANSWER: I actually prefer to think he wasn't, something I am not sure the rest of the team would agree with. But we always have the "red guy" be the leader, it would be nice to change that now and then.
- 32Has it been established exactly how Makuta got into Metru Nui? I would assume he used his power of shapeshifting to mimic something harmless that nobody would investigate. Of course I know they thought he was a good guy, but still, just wondered.
33ANSWER: Yes, he would most likely have infiltrated, so his presence would not be suspected.
- 34Does the Cheif Archivist have a name?
35Not an official BIONICLE one, no.
- 36Any idea how that secret sublevel got there or what its original purpose was?
37ANSWER: My guess would be that in the old days they did a lot less public displaying of Rahi and a lot more "slap it in a cage and try to figure out what the heck it is." Secret sublevels are great for that sort of thing.
- 38How exactly did Mavrah and the Rahi get out?
39ANSWER: By water, through the same entrance they brought the Rahi in by.
- 40About Mavrah's possible return. I will now add my vote to the "bring him back" campaign.
41ANSWER: Vote noted. You know me, I hate to kill off a good character for good (oh, and watch for a hint of Karzahni in Book 7).
- 42Nokama mentions that Ga-Matoran use tridents to catch fish... how? Do they stab them? Seems a little like that would be against their way and LEGO's violence policy...
43ANSWER: Well, that is how you catch fish, yes. We know they had a fish market on Mata Nui, so those fish had to be dead.
- 44Whenua asks how the seabirds over Mata Nui glide on the air... But don't Metru Nui birds do the same thing? Couldn't quite figure that out. The quote: "What do you think those are? We never had anything like that inthe Archives. How do they glide onthe air like that?" Well, we know there are Gukko, not to mention Nivawk in Metru Nui... and other various birds. Were there just no seabirds?
45ANSWER: Again, the theory behind my writing that -- those birds were not BIONICLE birds ... they were birds from elsewhere on the surface, and not from Metru Nui. So if you saw one bird gliding that did not look like a TECHNIC model (after a lifetime of seeing only TECHNIC models), you would be wondering where all the gears were too.
47Now to go read Maze of Shadows....
48Oh, and I've got a few non-VoF questions.
55All for now. Thanks as always.
- 49Got a Vahki with Disk of Time for Christmas... which got me thinking.. since the Disk of Time needs the user to mentally choose what it does, could a Vahki use it do you think? They don't really have minds... (I know, random and irrelevent, since no Vahki ever got it, but hey. I'm curious.
50ANSWER: I would say yes.
- 51I seem to remember you saying Nidhiki was not mutated by EP to become his current form... is that accurate?
52ANSWER: That is my belief, yes. I prefer to think something else was responsible, if he mutated at all.
- 53Why is the Kanohi Dragon called a Kanohi dragon? What's it have to do with Kanohi?
54ANSWER: You will find out when the Rahi book comes out.
