1That was fast:

2I have a few quick questions sir if you could answer them.
31. Is the cature of Ehlek and Kalmah to play a role in future story? Like a summer serial? Someone brought up the point you don't usually do stuff like that, decide things like that, unless it will play a role. So is it, or did you just decide that they would be captured, more as a piece of information, or an update on Hydraxons job?
42. How extensive is the power of the Nuva Nynrah Blasters? Is it to the extent of Solek's power, that it can mold to any shape? 52a. If so, which is better, Solek's power, or the Blasters? Ie. is Soleks "stiff" while the Ghost Blaster can "bend" in the manifestation?
63. Did you see The Stolen Earth yet? 73a. If so, what do you think of

8The Doctor being shot and "regenerating"?

9And that's all, thank you for taking time to answer these.

101) No. I came up with it because I am writing a guidebook for publication in Eastern Europe at the end of the year, so I needed to list current status of the Barraki for it.
112) Yes 122a) The ghost blasters -- Matoran are not that powerful as a rule
133) No, I don't think they have aired that one in the US yet -- we just finished the two-part one about the library here.

14And I asked if 1 was the Emergency EU Project, so there's a second part coming. And could have sworn he had BBC, sounded like it before, guess not, guess I have to wait if I want to talk to him about the finale.

141. Is that the emergency EU project?
153. I thought you had BBC, I thought I remembered conversations with you and other members about the current BBC episodes, but anyway, since that's the new one you saw, have you seen the Rose references in that episode and previous ones? 16Partners in Crime: Rose appears. 17Fires of Pompeii: "She is returning" 18Planet of the Ood: "Your song will soon end" followed by Doomsday music 19Poison Sky: She appears on the TARDIS console for a moment 20Library episodes: a picture in the girls house is a woman and wolf, Rose and Bad Wolf

211) Yes 223) I have BBC America on my cable, and BBCA doesn't carry the show. We get it on the Sci-Fi Channel. And I have spotted some of the references, not others. I am going to be curious to see how this season ends -- I have to assume Tennant is NOT leaving the show since the schedule for season 5 is just the four specials, and that was being done because he was going to be doing Shakespeare and couldn't film a full season. If they change Doctors, there's no need to do it that way.

1Hello GregF, I have some questions for you.
21. Why do toa think that the jutlin's power is so immoral? 31b. Why do toa think that the felnas's power is so immoral?
42. With the dark hunters fortess is destroyed, will we see how this affects the storyline in summer serials?
53. I feel that we didn't learn much about Spiriah's personality. If you could, can you give us a little more indepth description on Spiriah (prior to him being renagade)?
6Thanks in advance.

71) You don't think rotting is a bad thing? Rot is associated in our world with corpses and decay ... 81b) I don't, particularly, but it is a mask associated with the Makuta, and Gorast has done a lot of horrible things with it, so why would a Toa want to wear that? 92) No, not really, they simply rebuilt it. 103) My image of Spiriah is that he really wanted to be a Makuta like Teridax -- brilliant, self-assured, in control -- and he wasn't. He was never as good at his experiments as Chirox was, he wasn't a leader like Teridax -- he was a follower who tried too hard to be something he wasn't. He had all the arrogance of a Makuta, but less of a reason for it.

Taka Toa of Twilight Jun 30, 2008, 1:24 PM

1Hey, Phantoka Kopaka, Bink has said in his blog that the summer site will be up tomorrow with the comic. And since when was 12.5 just a script?
2

11)Anything involving the Matoran, about anything in the story.
2Now more: 31)Does anyone in our Bionicle story, known or unknown have any form of contact with the Red Star or it's inhabitants? 42)Is there any way to contact these beings? 53)Are the beings corruptable by Darkness? 64)Is there a way for the Makuta to figure out how to make their own armour or repair it? 75)If Toa Ignika were to fall under the influence of Evil, he would be a VERY dangerous foe. So why do the Toa think they can leave him alone with Icarax? If I were them, I would at least leaave someone to help.

81) The beings in the red star are probably not aware the Matoran exist, anymore than the Matoran are aware that they exist. 91) No. 102) No. 113) All beings are. 124) I suppose if they wanted to spend the time to learn the kind of skills the Nynrah have, yes. 135) He already kicked the stuffing out of Icarax, so I don't think they see Icarax as posing some threat to him. And you can't shadow leech him, because he's an object with a body, not truly a living being.

21. Let's say Bitil summons himself from one minute ago, and two minutes ago. Those two past versions get hurt, one minute ago gets a bad scrape on his arm, and two minutes ago gets a large dent on his chest. When they get sent back to their proper times, the Bitil 2 minutes in the past gets a dent in his chest, and blames his mask. A minute later, would he get his arm scraped too, or would he completely loose the dent and just suffer the arm injury? Sorry if the question's confusing, it's just a hard subject to word.


33. Is the mutagen down in the swamp water more concentrated than the waters of the Pit? 43b --SPOILERS-- 53c. If the concentration was the same, then was Teridax just not exposed to the mutagen long enough to have it take effect? 63d. Teridax wasn't affected, correct?
74. Is Makuta energy affected by the mutagen when not inside Makuta armor?
85. When a Makuta absorbs a being wearing a Kanohi, does he gain that Kanohi as well, or is it converted into mass?
9Thanks in advance, and have a great day . 10~~

111) No, he would have both injuries.
123) I wouldn't say that, no 13----- 143c) Teridax entered the Maxilos robot when it was at a depth well above Mahri Nui, where there is little to no mutagen. It's the same depth Gali reached when she went after the mask at the end of '06. When he was in Maxilos, Maxilos was water-tight for most of that time. 153d) Correct. 164) Yes 175) No, just converted into mass. He can't keep the Kanohi power or the particular power of the being he absorbs, which is why he didn't get Nidhiki or Krekka's individual powers. He got Nivawk's wings because that is a natural tool, not a power.

2Hello again . I hope you don't mind answering a few of my questions.
31.)Since the Rahi Nui has the powers of the Kanoka disks, and the disks are used by being thrown at something. Is it safe to asume the Rahi Nui has to touch whatit wants to freeze/repair/etc?
42.)You've said a Faxon user could use the Rahi Nui's powers, is it safe to asume they need to touch what they want to freeze/repair/etc?
52b.)Would A Faxon user have to actualy see a Rahi to use its powers? Or could someone just tell them about a Rahi's power to use it? Would they have too see all of the Rahi?
63.)Could a faxon user use Krahka's powers?
74.)Could a Faxon user use rahi's spinner powers? Could they do it if they had something like the Hagah's Rhotuka launching shield?
8Thank you very much, and I hope this makes it to you.
91-2) No. A disk needs to make contact to do what it does -- Rahi Nui is not a giant Kanoka disk. Kopaka has the ability to freeze people too, but he doesn't need to touch them to do it, right? 102b) He would have to know of them. 113) Within limits. The Faxon does not allow you to change your body's mass, so you couldn't change size the way Krahka can. 124) No. Rhotuka spinners are keyed to your individual energy, so you cannot duplicate someone else's spinner power.

15Would they have too see all of the Rahi?

21. Was the back story for Into the Darkness thought up before the story of The Many Deaths of Toa Tuyet, or after?
32. Who comes up with the ideas for the web serials?
43. Spoilers
54. In this image: http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/1/13/Sundial_Markings.png The sundial has 18 markings around it, instead of 12. Does this mean that there is 18 hours or 36 hours in a Matoran day?
65. Spoilers
76. Spoilers
87. Has Lego ever thought about doing Legend of Zelda Lego?
98. Do you know if Vultraz is a Walmart exclusive?
109. How did the first Toa team get together?
1110. How come Takanuva arrived in The Kingdom dimension 10 000 years after the Toa Mahri blew up the cord? I thought you said one day in The Kingdom dimension was one day in the MU? So shouldn't only be about one week after that?
1211. Is it possible for Mata Nui to be under Metru Nui?
1312. What is your favorite faction? OOMN, BOM, or DH?
1413. Who is your favorite author?Thanks Greg.

151) After 162) I do 173) Spoilers 184) No it doesn't mean that. We have never established a distinct system of time for the Matoran. 195) Spoilers 206) Spoilers 217) No, as far as I know, it's not a license we are interested in. Video games are competing products, so not much point in doing something that promotes them. 228) Vultraz is not a store exclusive, Mazeka is 239) Pretty much the same way the Avengers did -- they realized there were some threats too great for one Toa to deal with alone 2410) Time moves at a faster rate in the Kingdom universe than it does in ours. 2511) No 2612) Don't have a favorite 2713) Jeffery Deaver and Jasper Fforde

285. When will we learn who the DH spy is?
296. Spoilers
308. Do you know what store Mazeka is exclusive too?
3110. So one day here is not one day there?

325) Summer serials 336) Spoilers 348) Not off the top of the my head 3510) No, it might be several years there.

365. The OOMN-BOM war serial?
376. Spoilers
3810a. So Takanuva is now a couple years older than he should be, right?
3910b. But is one day here one day in the TEPD?Thanks Greg.

405) Yup 416) Spoilers 4210) No. A day here is years there -- and he wasn't there for years, he was there for a day or two at most. 4310b) TEPD?

4410b. Toa Empire Pocket Dimension

4510b) Correct

46If anybody that has read BL10 wants to know what the spoiler questions are, just PM me, it pretty important info. And I coulda sworn Greg knew what TEPD meant, oh well.

1Hi Greg . I have a few questions, as always.
21. Do you view Tuyet as being evil, or more misguided like Brutaka?
32. To create Kanohi elsewhere, would it be possible to simply forge protodermis into a Kanohi straight-off and effectively skip the Kanoka stage?
43. Are there any other city-like Matoran settlements? Perhaps on the Mainland? 53. b: Would other Matoran settlements end with -Nui or might villages end with -Koro instead? 63. c: Are chutes a common technology in the bionicle universe?
74. SPOILERS . (The ironic thing is, I should be hiding them from myself as well as I haven't read Bionicle Legends 10 yet.)
85. SPOILERS .
96. I asked you the following question a while ago:

102. Can Makuta repair their armour? I ask because Teridax had his armour damaged by TSO in Time Trap, yet presumably did not survive the next 1000 years with a huge hole in his chest plate.
112) TSO's attack on Teridax did not cause holes in the armor, so it wasn't an issue

12However in Time Trap it says:

13The breastplate of his armour was damaged and greenish black energy was leeching out of him.

14It was evidently damaged enough for his energy to escape, so he must have had it repaired somehow.
157. How do Toa Stones work? Does the power in them transfer into the chosen Matoran, or does it just unlock their own power? 167. b: Do Toa Stones require the use of a Suva to transform a Matoran, or can the transformation happen independantly of one? 177. c: Could a Toa use a portion of their own power to unlock a Matoran's latant Toa Energy?
188. SPOILERS .
199. If something went wrong in the Bionicle universe - say the Nuva fail to awaken Mata Nui or, in doing so, allow Teridax's plan to proceed - would a pocket dimension be created where they had succeeded?
2010. Besides Mata Nui and Tren Krom, are there any beings in the Bionicle universe more powerful than a Makuta?
2111. When a Makuta absorbs something else (particularly another Makuta), do they become equivilantly more powerful or do they just gain mass? 2211. b: Could Makuta absorb other beings before becoming antidermis?
23Thanks Greg .

241) I think she started out with good intentions, but wound up evil. She put her own dreams for the universe above the welfare of her allies and the people she was supposed to be protecting. 252) Possible, sure 263) I don't have info on this. Essentially, if I don't need it for story, I don't have time to worry about it these days. 274) SPOILERS . 285) SPOILERS . 296) They can't do a full-scale repair, best they can do is a temporary patch with materials at hand. 307) Unlocks the power already inside them 317b) Independently 327c) Not directly, no, it has to be focused into an object 338) SPOILERS . 349) Yes. 3510) Nope 3611) Gain mass 3711b) No

2Heya there Mr. Farshtey. It's been a while since I sent you a PM. Hope you're doing well, you sounded kind of stressed in some prior PM's to others, so I just wanted to wish you well.
3I read Bionicle Legends#10, and it was amazing, it was good to see some side stories and information not entirely related to the main story. Obviously it raised some questions for me, so I hope you can answer any of these.
42. [The Magazine] refers to the "Nynrah crafters of Xia", but the Nynrah Ghosts originate on Nynrah; was this a mistake, or do the Vortixx employ Nynrah Ghosts on occaision? 58. ... that is Mazeka's vehicle, yes? 68a. Will we discover how he got it in the serial? 79. Will we find out what the sundial is for in a serial, or Bionicle Legends#11?
8That's all I have, thanks in advance if you can answer any of these .

92) Well, I could say you are "Neuromancer of BZPower" -- does that mean you are on BZPower all the time, or never go to any other site? Some Nynrah live on Xia, because there is a lot of work to be had there. Others live elsewhere. 108) Yes 118a) He works for the Order, that's how he got it. 129) Bionicle Legends #11, most likely

13Ah, excellent, thanks for these fast replies. I have just a few more questions though, if you don't mind answering them.
142. How exactly are Matoran treated there? The Vortixx don't exactly seem like the loving type. 158. How long has he worked for the Order?
16Thanks in advance if you can answer any of these too ^^

172) The Vortixx are business people. If the Matoran work hard and make money for their bosses, the Vortixx have no reason to mistreat them. 188) A while now

31. Is the cature of Ehlek and Kalmah to play a role in future story? Like a summer serial? Someone brought up the point you don't usually do stuff like that, decide things like that, unless it will play a role. So is it, or did you just decide that they would be captured, more as a piece of information, or an update on Hydraxons job?
42. How extensive is the power of the Nuva Nynrah Blasters? Is it to the extent of Solek's power, that it can mold to any shape? 52a. If so, which is better, Solek's power, or the Blasters? Ie. is Soleks "stiff" while the Ghost Blaster can "bend" in the manifestation?
63. Did you see The Stolen Earth yet? 73a. If so, what do you think of

8The Doctor being shot and "regenerating"?

9And that's all, thank you for taking time to answer these.

101) No. I came up with it because I am writing a guidebook for publication in Eastern Europe at the end of the year, so I needed to list current status of the Barraki for it.
112) Yes 122a) The ghost blasters -- Matoran are not that powerful as a rule
133) No, I don't think they have aired that one in the US yet -- we just finished the two-part one about the library here.

15The Dr. Who episodes are that late in the US? 16The Stolen Earth was absoloutley AMAZING.

Bitil:The Destroyer Jul 1, 2008, 8:51 AM

1New Vultraz and Mazeka info. from Bionicle.com.
2VULTRAZ 3Transformed into a shadow Matoran by Makuta Icarax, Vultraz has been a loyal servant to him ever since. His powerful skyfighter is armed with a Midak Skyblaster engineered to fire shadow bolts. He came to Karda Nui to aid Icarax in his plot to take over the Brotherhood of Makuta, never suspecting his arch-enemy Mazeka was on his trail. Now their final conflict begins .
4Weapons: Vultraz's skysled has been designed to channel his shadow energy into devastating bursts from the nose of the vehicle.
5Quote: "I left the simple, innocent life of a Matoran behind me long ago. I buried it the same way I will bury you, Mazeka, if you don't get out of my way."

6MAZEKA 7Although he does not start out with an extra power, Mazeka is a skilled combatant - hand to hand or in an air battle. He is an expert spy, a skilled strategist, and willing to do whatever it takes to win.
8Mask: Kanohi Mask of Stealth 9Weapons: Mazeka's primary weapon is the heavily armed version of the Midak Skyblaster riding his swamp strider with razor sharp legs 10Weakness: Shadow 11Quote: "For too long, my people have said they were 'just Matoran.' They have relied on Toa to save them, as if they were helpless Rahi who couldn't take care of themselves. No more. Today, Matoran begin fighting for what's theirs ."
12What's up with Mazeka does not start out with extra power?
13-BTD

14 Please stay on topic...

151.) Is Mazeka after Vultraz for a personal reason, (like Vultraz was his friend at one point and wants to save him), or a matter of revenge? 162.) Did Vamprah drain Vultraz's inner light, or another Makuta? 173.) Will there be any other magazine combiners other than Spiriah, Trinuima, and the Niazesk? 184.) Can I request some of the mutated Niazesk (the Brickmaster combo) appear in the Mazeka-Vultraz story? 195.) BLOCKED 206.) A while back it was confirmed that if the Mistika Makuta left their armor and got new Makuta armor, they would regain their old powers and be able to shapeshift. Is this still true? 216b) So it is only their armor that is mutated, right? 227.) BLOCKED 238.) Why did Icarax's armor not mutate while in the pit?
24Thank you so much,
25Captain raven575

261) There is some personal animosity there, but he's after him because Vultraz works for the BOM and Mazeka for the OOMN 272) Another Makuta 283) Nothing planned at the moment 294) You can request whatever you like but I can't always promise to do it 305) No 316) Yes 326b) No 337) No 348) He was up near the surface of the water not down where the mutagen is.

2No, not until the 15th.

11)Krika's Bio says that he can't be detected by electronics, or visual until he's pretty much right on you. If thhis is cannon, does that mean that He's REALLY stealthy, or does he have some ability that aids in this sneakiness?
22)Is the Takanuva Blog canon?
33)Regarding that Amazon book description, is Glatorians official or even a placeholder, or is that false, too?
44)How exactly did rahi like the Nui-Kopen get in the Core?
55)Has anything new evolved from the swamp?
66)Is it fun to be the holder of knowledge on future sets, having the power to tease with little bitty sneak peeks, or is it just like: 'Yup, I know what's going to happen. That's cool.'? 7Personally, I would be enjoying having this knowledge which is regarded as secret by the fans.
87)You said you had future plans for Takanuva-so do you think we'll se him again, or just indirect hints to his wellfare(I understand if you cannot answer this.)
9That's all, until I get some crazy theory, or 09 names get leaked or somethin' 10THANKS . . . 11---DSV---

121) Well, if you could turn intangible, you wouldn't make any sound when you move, so you would be really stealthy too 132) I am writing it for the BIONICLE site, so yes 143) I cannot discuss anything having to do with 2009 154) Probably came in through the portal when the Makuta went in 165) What do you mean by new? 176) It is fun, sure, except you always have to deal with things leaking too early. 187) It really depends on the serial situation in 2009, which I do not have enough info on yet.

1Help Yourselves

2Hello Greg, I hate to bother You, because You're such a busy person. Unluckily, this time I couldn't resist.
31)I've just read the last part of Federation of Fear and it got me thinking. You described Miserix as if he was far more powerful than other Makuta. But in Your earlier statements in OGD, You said that every Makuta (in full health) has approximately the same level of control over his powers. So is it true that Miserix is more powerful than the rest of Brotherhood?
42)Recently, we had a big debate on another forum, about 2009, and all that "New place, new characters" thing. Some of the people say, that You told somewhere, that there won't be anymore Toa in the future. I believe, I haven't heard anything like that from You. The only official statement about 2009 is that we won't be in matoran universe anymore, correct? 52a)Do You, and of course the story team have approved list for next years sets names?


64)Will we get to know how Miserix end up by the end of this year?
75)Is Scholastic planning to stretch the list of countries where they sell their books?
86)Are there any more combiner models planned for this year? I've got the vechicles in mind especially.
97)Is it true, that elemental masks cannot create their element, only control it? I heard a memeber saying such thing somewhere...
10Very big thanks in advance for all the answers.

111) He's only physically more powerful because he's the size of a dragon from absorbing the mass of so many Rahi -- the same way Teridax was physically more powerful after absorbing Nidhiki, Krekka and Nivawk than he had been when he was disguised as Dume. Miserix's Makuta powers are no more powerful than any other Makuta. 122) Correct 132a) Yes
144) You will see more of him, yes 155) Scholastic does not have that option, they don't have rights outside of the US. For the books to sell outside of here, local publishers in those countries have to choose to print the books, as they do in the UK, France, Germany, Russia, China, Japan, etc. If local publishers aren't interested, then the books won't get printed there. 166) Not at the moment. 177) I don't think we have ever said that anywhere

Detranix: Master of Evil Jul 2, 2008, 12:53 AM

1Toa of Protodermis, you should remove the BL10 spoilers. They aren't allowed until the 15th.
2~Evil Rules~

1Have you actually confirmed the existence of Greater Beings - the entities that created the BIONICLE planet and possibly other things? Can you give me a reason for introducing these beings instead of going for a simpler solution as to how the planet existed?
2Thanks.

3I have not, no. All I have said is that the Great Beings did not create the planet, and that everything in the universe is created by someone or something -- therefore the planet was as well. I have never said it was necessarily living beings who did it. I have also stated that the creation of the planet has absolutely nothing to do with our story and won't be addressed. BZPers are pretty much the ones who interpreted it as "greater beings."

11. Is Kraata-Kal's armor made of metallic protodermis or metallic Antidermis?
22. Is Pridak's teeth hard or harder than protosteel or sharp enough to cut protosteel?
33. Does the Order of Mata Nui members know who their leader is?
46. How was the Toa Code formed?
57. Can a rogue Toa use a dark mask without problems?
