11. Is there any klakk in Karda nui? 22. does anybody know about the klakks ability to cure beings affected by shadow leetches? 33.Where is Mutran,is he also guarded by the ignika like icarax or is he in the swamp? 44.Can makuta create matoran? 54b.if yes, why dont they just create them and immideatly turn them into shadow matoran? then they would get more allies. 65.At witch level is the makutas kraata powers?
71) There will be 82) No 93) Swamp 104) They could, but they don't, it's not their job and they don't like Matoran. They are only doing the shadow Matoran thing to keep more Toa of Light from being created. 115) 6
12some questions i thougt would be intresting
13Is The 2008 Bionicle Brickmaster creature thing the Klakk?
14Yes, it is the klakk.
1Wait, does anyone realize what the klakk can do? If they can shatter a being's light barrier, then they can cause the makuta to regain their light, right?
1Rah . The Gregster is gone to SDCC .

2That wouldn't work. The Makuta have willingly rejected whatever light they possessed. They do not suffer psychic shielding.
3But I have one more thing to say (and I know I'm being sort of a hypocrite in this instance), and that is that I wish posters would try a little harder to avoid going off-topic. I know this topic is also supposed to serve as discussion, but to me it seems there's a lot of extra chatter that doesn't really serve as insight into the Greg Q&A. It got really bad a few days ago when everyone was needlessly discussing the banning of a certain member, which is even against the BZP rules in general. A lot of people read this thread, and they would appreciate it if they didn't have to read through those posts as well, I'm sure. I'm not the judge, but I'm just saying.
1Isn't there a forum where we can discuss all these theory.
1Yeap, and you're in the exact forum to discuss theories. The Bionicle Storyline &Theories Forum. Keep in mind, I said forum, not topic . So we shouldn't really discuss those here in the OGD.
2Anyway, here's an old batch of questions from before spoilers were allowed:
2Anyway, here's an old batch of questions from before spoilers were allowed:
3Hello again, Mr. Farshtey. I liked how you ended the Mutran Chronicles. Hope you can take some time to answer some questions.
41) We've seen Krika and Gorast's extra powers, phantom-like form and light-draining stinger respectively. So, what's Bitil's extra power? 52) Someone said that if Krika remained intangible too long, he will cease to exist. Is this true? 63) Does the same go for Gorast? I mean, if she doesn't feed on light for too long, will she cease to exist? 74) In Takanuva's flashback, did the energy storms happen when the Great Spirit Mata Nui came into existence?
85) Is placing the keystone in the Codrex's niche the key to awaken Mata Nui? 95b) Is the niche the humanoid figure carving on the Codrex? The one similar to on the Ignika? 105c) What happens to anyone in the Codrex not in a Toa canister when the energy storms hit? 115d) Let's say that somehow, there are a new batch of Toa canisters in the Codrex. If the Nuva enter them, will they slumber again until the next time Mata Nui's life is in jeopardy?
12Thanks in advance.
131) I haven't decided on it yet 142) No. What would happen is he would turn intangible permanently. 153) Yes 164) Yes 175) No. 185b) Yes 195c) They'll die 205d) If that is their intent going in to them yes. If they want to just go in for a half hour, or go in and use them for transport, they can do that too.
1After that last answer I suspect the Nuva will go back to their slumber after awaking Mata-Nui. Simply waiting until the universe needs them again, and then start the whole shebang over again.
1Says who? maybe Artakha restocked them, with his teleporting poweres
1I think Greg said it a few pages back, No canasters are in the Codrex
1I think Greg said it a few pages back, No canasters are in the Codrex
2Yes, he did confirm that. They were used up by the Toa Mata the first time round.
3He can reverse whatever he said as long as it wasn't written or published on a official source. Meaning, as long as "there are no Toa canisters in the Codrex" isn't published on Bionicle.com or any book, he can change his mind.
4Greg hasn't done that very often though...
5~SB~
1I'm pretty sure he'd written Bionicle Legends #11 by that point, so chances are there are no canisters there.

7Do you mean about them being mutated... No, Greg said that they would be stupid to enter the swamp, he didn't say they weren't stupid.
1Yeah, the Mistika are just plain STUPID.
1Yeah, the Mistika are just plain STUPID.
2If you mean the Makuta, it's been stated that they did NOT know that the mutagenic properties existed within the swamp upon their arrival, so they were "stupid" for that moment.
3You don't call someone stupid if they made a mistake or had an accident would you (even if it was a Makuta)?
4------
5Back on topic, everyone please stay on topic . This is the Official Greg discussion, not the official "let's answer each other's questions" discussion.
1Why would the Ignika kill everything in the universe because of a few Makuta? 2Anyway, maybe the returning character next year, will search for a ( large, but LARGE ) place to hide ( 09 universe ). 3Sorry for the speculation
4Can't wait for the podcast too. The summer serials are gonna be interesting, and the V-M one exciting.
5PS check my sig, I'm awesome xD
6You mean you don't know?
7The Ignika has a countdown, that it cannot stop- it's triggered when something seriously bad is happening to the Matoran Universe, in this case- the Makuta being in Karda Nui. It turns to silver, then to black- when it turns black, the universe is drained of life in three seconds.
8That was confirmed by Greg in January, by the way.
9-Freeze
10I did know that, but I meaned: 11Thanks of a few Makuta, the Ignika will kill EVERYTHING in the Universe, isn't that a bit... well.. stupid of the Ignika? 12Anyway, it adds some extra epic to the story
13PS Check my sig again, I'm still awesome xD
1Yeah, I don't think that makes much sense either, but hey, its BIONICLE.

14Well, I actually think you're right in that instance, why doesn't the Ignika just kill the Makuta, why everything.
15PS: I don't think you sould be telling people to look at your sig in your post, it's off topic.
1Because that's how it was designed. It can't control the fail-safe, that's just how it works. The Makuta are threatening the stability of the Universe, so the failsafe's best way is to prevent anything from living, and then the GBs can start over.

2But can't it use its "divine powers" to single out the Makuta.
1It could, but that's using it's own powers, not the Fail Safe part. both are different, and not even the Ignika itself knows of this Fail Safe. No one but the Makuta, Mata Nui, and the GBs know of the Fail Safe, or that it's because there are makuta in the Core. How is a mask that knows nothing of something it can do, counteract by removing the problem that it doesn't know exist?
2Plus, it's trying to be a toa, meaning, no killing.

3Actually, Ignika does know about the failsafe.
1No, it doesn't. And we should continue this little discussion in the Ignika Official Topic.

15Okay guys, it's time to move on to the official ignika topic. I know Greg has gone away to Comic-Con, but we should keep this topic on track. Come on, let's go.
1I agree. We should stop spamming.

3Actually the Ignika can't kill anyone quickly 4It could age them to death however 5

7Ah, but it can. Greg has said that it can completely drain the universe of life, thus, killing everyone rather quickly. 8-K

9Or it could also bring everything to life.
1QUOTE 21) will the Niazesk appear in the storyline? 32) will kopaka also change the look of he's armor when he's piloting the jetrax, like lewa and pohatu did? 43) why did pohatu, lewa and antroz change the look of their armor? 54) is vican still riding he's rahi-matoran hybrid, or has he abandoned it? 65) why did the toa nuva let Mutran down in the swamp? 76) has'nt lessovik and sarda captured any escaped pit prisoners? 87) is the war leaders of the Matoran civil war still alive, or has they been killed by the barraki?
91) Yes, in Takanuva blog 102) No, because no altered set of Kopaka exists 113) They didn't. Makuta's armor reacted to the ship, and Pohatu and Lewa's is adaptive, it changes on its own without their conscious direction 124) Abandoned it 135) How do you suggest they hold him captive if they aren't up in the sky? 146) Most likely they have 157) Most likely they fled into some other part of the ocean, like most of the escaped prisoners did

11. How was Comic-Con? Did it go well?
22. What are you working on now?
33. Are you starting the move soon? If so, how goes it?
41) Okay 52) Just about to start the first novel for 2009 63) Closing on the house on Wednesday
73. I don't know anythig about realestate, so is closing good?
8Yes. Closing is when you sign all the contracts and pay out the rest of the down payment and the house officially becomes yours.
9This one came in at 5 seconds.
10Would it be possible to have the Niazesk in the Vultraz-Mazeka story?
11It's already appearing in the Takanuva blog
12Oh yeah, Greg's back.
13How goes the serials?
14I just got back from five days at Comic-Con, Xander, so have had no chance to do any writing of anything. I have been working the con.
15Oh yeah, but didn't write/record the podcast already?
16The first chapter, yes, but when that goes online is up to Binkmeister, not me
17I just got word from Bink. It's good.
18Yes, hello. I just got done asking Greg some questions. I just have one for you, if that's all right. I was just wondering why the podcast isn't up yet? Greg told me to ask you to find the answer for myself, if that's all right.
19I bet he's wondering the same thing smile.gif
20Weeeeellllll.... I have several updates to make to BIONICLEstory.com, including the new podcast, and I wanted to do them all at once. The only snag is, I have to wait on somebody else to finish something before I can release it all. But they're going to take too long, so I have to figure out how to do it myself.
21Phew.
22Short answer: Probably this week.
23- Bink
1is the codrex the power source for the mutagen energy and dose this energy make av-matoran taller?
2thanks for all your hard work
3The core is one place that produces energy that results in the mutagen, and the light energy of the core does make the Av-Matoran bigger -- but to be clear, it is NOT the mutagen that makes them taller.
4I'm the first one he ansered

4Hi Mr.Farshtey i have just one quick question
5will it hard or easy for the Toa nuva to awaken mata nui
6Well, if it was easy, it wouldn't be very exciting, would it?

1Some questions I ask Greg a few weeks ago, but never got around to posting.
2Hey Greg. I know I just PMed you, but I have just finished reading Bionicle Legends#10 and The Kingdom (very good, as always), and I have a few questions.
31. Did the Pit Mutagen turn the Mistika Makuta into biomachanical beings? At one poin in the book, Gorast nearly drowned due to Gali (and she could only drown if she had lungs).
42. Did Brutaka kill Dweller, or did he jut knock him out?
53. What happend to Artahka when Mata Nui died in The Kingdom universe? Did he migrate to Mata Nui with everyone else, or did he die in the catyclism?
64. What is Tahu Mistika's Toa Tool?
75. Can the Ignika (Mask or Toa) restore the light of a being who had their light drained?
86. What element do Fe-Matoran control when they become Toa?
97. Are certian Matoran (or at least certian Av-Matoran) destined to become Bohrok (in the same way certian Matoran are detined to be Toa)?
108. I was re-reading The Kingdom and I noticed something. Turaga Takanuva was saying something about moving the Kingom's inhabitants some place else. He said: "We will have to move on again, perhaps to the stars if Nuju and Nuparu's project works." What project was he talking about?
119. Would a OoMN member (who's mind is shielded) be affected by the Kanohi Olisi?
1210. What is the Bahrag's status in the Kingdom Universe? Are they asleep, or are they working with Takanuva in order to help the Kingdom survive?
1311. What happend to Karzahni in the Kingdom Universe? Was he brought to the surface world with everyone else, or was he left to die in the Matoran world? 1411b. Tren Krom? (That's the last of these questions for now)
15Thanks
161) No, it did not. But it did change the way their systems work. 172) He didn't kill him. If he had, he would have left him where he was, not dragged him back to where Helryx was. 183) Migrated 194) Don't recall off the top of my head 205) No. It controls life, not light 216) Iron 227) Certain Av-Matoran are, yes 238) Nuju and Nuparu are building a rocket. 249) No 2510) We know there are Bohrok active on the surface, so obviously the Bahrag must be on board. 2611) He was evacuated as well 2711b) It's not possible to evacuate Tren Krom, he is part of his island now.
