1I really hoped you enjoyed your birthday.
21. What is this energy spike? 32. If the Codrex does not protect the Toa Nuva from the energy storm and that there is no Toa Canisters inside, then why would they enter the Codrex?
4Thanks. Again, enjoy.


51) Can't reveal it 62) Because that's where they need to go to awaken Mata Nui


71. When would this be revealed? 82. Then why did Helryx tell Takanuva to tell the Toa Nuva to hide in the Codrex from the energy storm?


91) Later 102) No, what she actually says is "the key to their survival can be found inside the Codrex" -- that's not the same as "go hide inside the Codrex." She's referring to something they can find inside the building, not the building itself.

1Dear Greg, 2Here are some questions, hope you can answer them.
31.) How big would you say the Matoran Universe is in feet.
42.) You said that each Matoran tribe plays a vital role in the MU, would their element have anything to do with this.
53.) The map of the MU you sketched, is it labeled with the names of all the islands or just the known ones. 63a.) If the latter are you planning on using the other with islands in the future.
74.) Is the 2009 Universe bigger or smaller than the current one.
85.) How different is the 09 Universe to the current one.
96.) Will we ever explore the GB's Universe.
107.) Do you have any future plans to for the Toa Nuva.
118.) Would you say the BZPers are thinking to hard about things such as the BoM's Plan, Mata Nui's Location, or what happens in 2009.
12By the way I am looking foward to meeting you at Comic-Con. :D
13~Zexion

141) No idea 152) Their element helps them do the job they do 163) Just the known ones 173a) Keep in mind we are not in this universe after this year, so no need to 184-5) I cannot discuss 2009 196) No idea 207) Not really, since again, we aren't in the Matoran universe after 2008 and they are. 218) No, they think about what they think about, they're fans - it's what fans do. I only have an issue when they rush to judgment on things without knowing anything about it yet.

1Okay, so I just PMed Greg about Kanohi masks. 2And without further ado:
3For a while now, since I watched the BIONICLE movies and discovered Biosector01 and read up on Kanohi, I've been wondering about two things about Kanohi masks.
41) Do Kanohi masks have some kind of unique "facial" feature, to distinguish one Matoran from other Matoran of the same class and Kanohi? Like, say, if Tamaru were standing in a crowd of Le-Matoran with the same color armor as he with the same type of Noble Rau on, how would you tell them apart? Do their masks adopt facial features to their wearers? Just something I was curious on.
52) Do Kanohi masks ... move? Like, say, when a being is wearing a mask, will that mask move when he makes a facial expression, like a frown, or a smile? And is it true that there's a large opening at the mouth of the mask so the Matoran/Toa's real mouth could still be there? Like in the movie, Jaller's Hau had a big opening at the mouth, but when Takutanuva revived him, the mouth he had was the mouth behind the mask, of his head.
6Thanks .
7-Kagha


81) No. 92) Only in the films.


10Sorry, but when you said only in the films did you mean the hole at the mouth, or the movement of the mask through facial expressions, or both?
11And also, do all Great Masks glow when in use? 12Because I don't think it ever said that the Toa Mata's masks glowed when they used them.
13Thanks again .


141) Both 152) Again, only in the movies, to show viewers the mask is in use

5Howso? He never said he knew how big Mata Nui is in feet either. He just said he was bigger than 700,000 feet. It's common sense to say that the Matoran Universe is over 700,000 feet when the Island of Mata Nui is 1.6 million itself.

7EDIT:

87.) Do you have any future plans to for the Toa Nuva. 9~Zexion

107) Not really, since again, we aren't in the Matoran universe after 2008 and they are.


11Yet he has plans for Takanuva beyond 2008... interesting.
#4528
1Hmm, Kagha, I'm pretty sure that in Swamp of Secrets, there's a part where Tahu mouths something discreetly to the other Toa. Maybe their mouths do move, to a certain degree.

2Hi Greg, I have two questions for you.
31) Can Makuta form weapons that are separate from their bodies by using shapeshifting- like Antroz making a dagger out of a piece of his armor that he can throw, rather than a claw that is fused to his hand?
42) Would you consider setting up a Tahu vs Kopaka situation somewhere in the story any time this year? It would be awesome to see those two finally settle their differences, especially since it seems us fans won't be seeing a whole lot of the Toa Nuva in the coming years. With the shadow leech's ability to drain light, it seems like the two Toa could easily be pitted against each other, and I know fans have been interested in the idea of them fighting for a long time. It sounds cool to me, what do you think? 5(My apologies if you don't like people making suggestions for the story .)
6Thanks



71) No 82) I don't think so, no. We have been down that road multiple times, and frankly, Tahu and Kopaka fighting at this point in time would be the height of irresponsibility. There isn't time for petty arguments right now.
9I think he missed what I said about the shadow leeches corrupting one of the Toa. Oh well, I guess there's always fan fiction. Really wanted to see another Toa vs Toa battle, though... in my opinion, there just isn't enough interaction between them these days.

#4534
1I'm starting to think the T's will be very important in future story...
#4535
1Well, not too much info here, just stuff I wanted to know for my comic.
2Wow, I've been on BZP a year and have always been too nervous to ask the guy who works on the story and stuff any questions...
3Anyway...
41: What powers of the Great Avohkii would be missing or much weaker in a Noble Avohkii? 52: Is Artahka the only being with the ability to forge an Avohkii or could any mask maker forge one provided they had the right materials and some instructions of some sort? 63: Would you say that it is completely impossible for a single Matoran to take down a Makuta or just very improbable? 73a: What about a single, non Nuva-powered Toa? 84: Any being with a blaster of some sort mounted on their shoulder controls when it fires by mindpower or a special mechanism? 95: Just because a Toa won't wear a mask like the Jutlin doesn't mean they can't, right? 106: How does Makuta armor shapeshift? Is it more like the pieces rearrange or the molecular structure or something changes?
11Thanks in advance for answering my questions .

121) Impossible to know, since no Noble Avohkii has ever existed in the universe. 132) If you had the right knowledge and materials, yes, someone else could do it. 143) Absolutely impossible. Matoran have no powers. 153a) Not impossible -- Matoro did it to Makuta in The Kingdom story 164) It varies 175) They can, they choose not to. 186) Hasn't been revealed.


191: Darn... 202: Yeah, I could've expected... 213: Eugh... That kinda puts a dent in things... 223a: I think I should go read The Kingdom... 234: Ok. 245: Makes sense 256: Oh.

1Greg, 2One question. 3Could the toa ignika teleport the Toa Nuva out of Karda Nui( Kind of like the mahri, when matoro used the Ignika)? 4Thanks, 5-SK
6No, Ignika is going to be busy

7What do you think he will be busy with? 8-SK


9Well, the Ignika has to be used to awaken Mata Nui, right?


10Either that or hes going to drain the life out of everything, maybe thats why is eyes were red on that pic for one of the upcoming videos . :D ;)

#4548
1Very odd piece of info down below, including some other new tidbits about many different things. Spoilers, of course.
2Hey Greg, Im back with more questions . I only have 2 this time, to make life for you easier.
31. I recently recieved Axalara, and IMO, this is one of the best sets ever released. When I was examining the box, I noticed the Codrex in the background, and Rockoh is shooting out of a small hole in it. Are the T vehicles indeed found in the Codrex? 41a. If so, are they in the second room sealed off when the Toa first visited? 51b. A few months ago, I asked you about said room, and you stated that that room is related to the awakening of Mata Nui. If the vehicles are indeed in that room, do they play a very large role in Mata Nui's awakening? How?
62. Will Vultraz or Mazeka ever be seen in the main storyline or in the books? Or will they be strictly in their online serial.


71) Yes 81a) I don't want to reveal where they are yet 91b) Not directly 102) Online serial only


111b. So, the T vehicles are somehow related to the awakening. Is it just that the vehicles will assist the Toa in the battle to awaken Mata Nui? Is it only related to Mata Nuis awakening because the Toa will use them to defeat the Makuta? Or is it much deeper then that?
12And 4 more questions:
131. I read your answer to a fellow member that said that Mata Nui was first awakened when the Toa Mata were first in Karda Nui fighting the avohkah. Are the avohkah an accident, an unexpected side-effect of Mata Nui's awakening? Or were the avohkah known to many before the Toa fought them? 141a. If they were known to people before the Toa's fight, were they made on purpose?
152. Did the avohkah appear before the Toa Mata fought them in Karda Nui?
163. Who sent the Toa Mata to fight the avohkah?
174. Is Mata Nui in a place weve seen or heard of before?


181b) You'll find out in the fall 191) Neither. They weren't known to many because they only existed in Karda Nui, and they had nothing to do with his awakening. 202) Yes. They were already active in KN before the Toa got there. 213) Order of Mata Nui 224) I can't discuss this


233. Wait...so the OoMN came around BEFORE Mata Nui actually took control of the universe? What I heard in the Official Greg Discussion thread and from this reply was that Mata Nui (and therefore the avokah) first came to be shortly before the Toa Mata entered Karda Nui. Is that correct? If so, does that mean the OoMN did indeed exist before Mata Nui himself?


24Before he was active, yes


25Huh??
#4549

11We all know that Mata Nui isn't the Matoran Universe, or any of the islands. We know that he is close to 700,000 feet tall, which, oddly enough, is about the same size as the island of Mata Nui. Another answer you gave is that he has no power on the surface, but you never said if he was there or not. And of course, Mata Nui(island) is to be flat and unihabited.

52) Is the Morbuzakh considered a Rahi?
6That's all .



71) Rahi are made from protodermis with viruses infused into it, so the mass comes from the raw protodermis 82) The Matoran would consider it one, yes

#4557
1Hello. 2I have two old theories that I´d like to ask for your input on:
31. Here´s one from January of 2007. Now that we know the guy on the Ignika represents Mata Nui, is it safe to say that the Ignika is using the symbol I posted there?
42. Here´s one from January of 2008. I know Mata Nui is not Mata Nui itself, but still I think the facial features have some connection. Is Mata Nui (Island) a part of Mata Nui, perhaps?


51) I don't understand your question 62) I cannot discuss this -- the nature of Mata Nui will be revealed in the fall, so answers will have to wait until then.

71. Seeing as how we now know that the figure on the Ignika represents Mata Nui, is it reasonable to say that this symbol is the same as the one on the mask? That symbol, after all, was used by the Turaga to represent the Legend of Mata Nui back in 2001.


8Makes sense to me

9Took me a year, but I got my theory proven.

71. When would this be revealed? 82. Then why did Helryx tell Takanuva to tell the Toa Nuva to hide in the Codrex from the energy storm?


91) Later 102) No, what she actually says is "the key to their survival can be found inside the Codrex" -- that's not the same as "go hide inside the Codrex." She's referring to something they can find inside the building, not the building itself.

14Mabye they need the T vehicles to survive . . That would also indirectly help Mata-Nui awaken, because the Toa Nuva need to stay alive even after he's awakened right? In case they need to to their job again.
#4560
11a. Lets say a Matoran has been stabbed and it is extremly likely he will die. COuld the mask of possibilities make it extremely unlikely to happen? 21b. If no, why not?
3-TN05


4Mask doesn't work that way. It cannot change something that's already happened, and it cannot heal the damage that Matoran has suffered. So how does it then prevent him from dying? What it could do is make the knife strike miss anything vital, but it can't do anything once the wound is made. It's not a Mask of Healing or a Mask of Undeath.


5So, maybe of the the Toa Hagah's masks could be a Mask of Undeath.
6Anyway, I inadvertantly made Greg reveal two new possible masks. :evilgrin:
7-TN05
