1On the subject of Antroz, the car is BIG, HEAVY and WELL ARMED. He probably just spins round in circles, holding down the triggers. That's what I would do.
#442

1I've got some more questions I didn't remember last time (I hate it when that happens ) 2Have the Matoran on Metru-Nui resumed making Kanohi? 3What about Matoran? I believe it was said somewhere that Matoran can be made on Metru-Nui. 4Have any Matoran died/been killed on Mata-Nui before they returned to Metru-Nui? 5That's all.

61) Yes 72) No extra Matoran are needed on Metru Nui right now 83) It's possible, but probably not more than a handful

9I sent him a PM before this one, hence the "didn't remember last time". 10*goes off to edit Kanohi on BS01* 11:m_d::r::a::g::m_o::n::f::l::y: 12:smilelewanu:

1Hello Greg, sorry if you already got this, I think the server ate my last one.
21. Which Summer Makuta is your favorate, setwise, mines Bitil. 32. Storywise? 43. Do the Summer Makuta still have the power to make Kraata? 53b. If so, can they only make Kraata from the powers they have? 64. Do they have new powers to replace the old ones? 74b. If so, can the new powers be made into kraata? 85. Does Tren Krom mean lava in Matoran?
9Thanks



101) Don't have a favorite 112) Krika 123-4) Too early to discuss this 135) No


14Nothing new or really important, for that matter, just thought it'd be a little interesting to some.
#444
1Well, here's some more Phantoka Vehicle info:
2ME: Is there a reason for Lewa, Pohatu, and Antroz to appear again, and for Kopaka not to?
3GREG: That was a set designer/franchise manager decision, not a story one, so not one I have info on. My assumption would be they tested the vehicle sets with all three Toa, and the Lewa and Pohatu figures were most popular with the kids

4This is actually fairly dissapointing to me, as Kopaka is the only Phantoka I'm not getting...
#446
1QUOTE 2Just a few questions on Mata Nui ,Metru Nui, and . 3(i sent these 10 days ago and have not recieved a reply)
41. Mata Nui is directly above Metru Nui's dome, Correct? 51a. If so, where did the lava come from, because there was no lava on Metru Nui
62. Did the lightstone desposits play any role in Metru Nui's "stars"?
73. Are the organic bids seen in some of the 2001 videos canon? 83a. If so, where did they live before the energized protodermis caused all the vegitation to grow?
94. How did geological structures such as Mt. Ihu and the deserts form?
105. Does Metru Nui anchor Mata Nui, similar to how the chord anchored Voya Nui? 115a. If Metru Nui did not exist, would Mata Nui be a drifting island, like Voya Nui was?
126. Have any Pit escapees ventured near Mata Nui? 136a. If so, then is it possible that they could make it to Metru Nui via magnia? 146b. Would the Mahri be powerful enough to defeat such a threat?
157. Where did the lightstones and Heatstones(if canon) desposits come from?
168. Are non-elemental sets (i.e. 2008 makuta) still colored with the six major elemental colors for a story reason of for marketing?
179. What are Hydraxon and Maxilos up to in the Alternate Universe?

181) Yes 192) Sure there was. Lava on Mata Nui is molten protodermis 203) Yes 213a) Elsewhere. Birds can fly from place to place, right? 224) They were made by the Great Beings 235) No. Think of an egg -- the yolk does not anchor the shell. Metru Nui is the yolk, Mata Nui is the part of the shell that is above the water -- it is the roof of a dome, not a separate land mass the way Voya Nui was. 246) No. Too far north, plus they can't breathe air, so they would be no threat to Metru Nui even if they were there 257) Hasn't been revealed 268) Marketing. Set design comes before story, not after story -- story is tailored to fit the sets. 279) You'll find out if they show up there, but since the Pit existed long before Tuyet used the Nui Stone, I would assume it still does exist there
28odd.. he didn't answer number 2...

29Edit: This is just my idea, but maybe the vehicles have Winter Toa in them because they are prototypes... Remember how last year, the playsets at ToyFair used Piraka and Inika minifigs... just a thought...
#447
1no, they're supposed to be there. or they wouldn't look different from their current forms.
#448
1Playsets and these are quite different. If they were only fill-ins, then why go to the trouble to make them new masks and pieces?
2Anyway, it's been confirmed that it's Antroz, Pohatu, and Lewa. :P
#449
1Here's some stuff.
2Hello.
31-Is it true Axalara, Rockoh and Jetrax have Lewa, Pohatu and Antroz on them? 41a- If so, what happened to Kopaka .? .? 52- Which Takanuva do you like better? Origanal or new? I like the new one. 63- How far are you into Legends 11? 74- Are Krika, Gorast and Bitil mutated? 85- What is your favourite Makuta of this year? 96- Toa? 107- Will all 2008 sets appear in Legends 11? 11Thanks in advance, 12TLP

131) Yes 141a) Kopaka was in Jetrax, and it got hijacked by Antroz 152) No preference 163) Done 174) You'll find out in summer 185) Icarax and Krika 196) Pohatu 207) No
#450
1Hm, I thought Kopaka was Greg's favorite Toa?
#451
1Pohatu is, just for this year. Probably setwise, too. :P
#452
1Not all 2008 set characters appear in Bionicle Legends#11? I wonder who...
#453
1I'm guessing the minor ones, like Mutran. Maybe the Matoran, too. :P
#454
1Can we have pronounciation of these names?
2Krika 3Gorast 4Bitil 5Rockoh 6Jetrax 7Axalara 8Vultraz 9Mazeka
10Thanks Greg.


11Krih-kah 12Gore-ast 13Bih-till 14Rock-oh (pronounced just like it is spelled) 15Jet-tracks 16Axe-ah-lah-rah 17Vull-trahz 18Muh-zee-kah

2yeah the vehicles may let you see
#457
1why must it be kopaka that is hijacked? well at least i like well at least it's not lewa/pohatu i like them and i dont realy like kopaka because of less weapons 2(No offense for kopaka lvers)

1why must it be kopaka that is hijacked? well at least i like well at least it's not lewa/pohatu i like them and i dont realy like kopaka because of less weapons 2(No offense for kopaka lvers)


3dunno, maybe Kopaka got distracted and Antroz just knocked him off and charged for the other Toa. Kopaka could instanly adapt back to his flying form and chase Antroz for his Vehicle back.
#459
1In a way it makes sense Kopaka's the one without a vehicle, since he's always been the loner of the Toa Nuva.
#460
1Hi Greg . I'm not sure if you got my last PM, so I'm resending it. I hope you don't mind.
21. If a Toa other than a Toa of light was partially drained by a shadow leech, would they gain control of both their element and shadow?
32. What would happen if the Ignika turned black when it was outside of the Matoran universe, or in a pocket universe?
43. When did the Ignika turn silver?
54. How do most Makuta regard MoMN?
65. When did the Makuta learn of the existance of Matoran of Light? 7b: Did the Makuta know there were Matoran of Light in the core?
86. Could a Makuta take over empty Rahkshi armour? 9b: Could a Makuta shapeshift using Rahkshi armour?
107. About how strong would you say Rahkshi armour is?
118. You say elemental powers are drawn more from a balance of light and shadow. Is this true for light and shadow powers, or are they drawn more from one side or the other?
129. Did the Green Belt exist before Voya Nui rocketed up to the surface? 13b: Will we ever learn what it is/why it's there?
1410. When Voya Nui was still part of the mainland, was it more technologically advanced? 15b: Were the living conditions any better?
1611. How extensive is a Makuta's ability to teleport? Does it work like a Kualsi, is there a distance limit or can they teleport anywhere?
1712. How would a Matoran of Light's elemental powers compare to those of a Turaga?
1813. Does the pit mutagen always transform people into water breathers?
1914. Is the Ignika still damaged from the mutagen?
2015. Is the mutagen related to the Ignika in any way?
2116. Could the mutagen exist outside of water, and if so, would it be a liquid, gas or something else?
2217. Outside of water, would it still have mutagenic properties/would the mutations be the same?
2318. Did the Great Beings make the Red Star?
24Thanks Greg .


251) Yes 262) Won't happen. It is tied to the Matoran universe, if it is removed from that universe, the countdown stops. 273) When the Makuta invaded Karda Nui 284) With respect 295) They have known there were Matoran of Light in existence for a long time, they simply didn't know where they were. And no, not until they found the core. 306) Good question. Makuta can take over two kinds of bodies, robot bodies or living bodies without spirits. Rahkshi are just armor, they aren't robots and they were never alive, so I am not sure if they would count. On the other hand, they can be run by kraata, which are just solidified Makuta essence, so I think it's a debatable question. 317) Not as strong as Makuta armor. 328) It is not true of shadow power, since shadow power is frequently used by beings who have no light in them. 339) Can't answer it 3410) Not really, no 3510a) Yes 3611) I haven't bothered to define this 3712) Less powerful 3813) No 3914) Yes 4015) No 4116) It could exist outside of water, yes, but it would be neither a solid, liquid or gas, to the best of my knowledge. 4217) Probably, yes 4318) Can't answer it


44Just a few questions I was wondering about.
#461
1you could probably adapt kopaka to fit on jetrax
2im gonna try that :P
#462
1Dear Greg, 2I felt oblidged to thank you for the latest installment in the Mutran Chronicles. I am home sick today, and I wanted to thank you for Gorast, being the FEMALE CONQUER OF THE VISORAK . . . Finally, someone who I love just as much as Roodaka . However, with the serials, I have a few questions:
31.) Do you enjoy getting to have your wife voice characters? 42.) Is it really Tuyet confronting Takanuva, or Krakha in disguise? 53.) Couldn't Mutran use his makuta rahi-control powers on the burrowers? 64.) Why is Krika your favorite makuta? (OGD) 75.) From writer to writer, do you want me to stall the constant PM's (temporarily) to give you time to write Fed. of Fear 4? (believe me, I can find a way)...
8Off Topic: 96.) What did you do for your wife on valentines day? I'm curious...
10Captain raven575 11P.S. I love this years serials


121) Lot easier than me doing them :) 132) You'll find out in Chapter 4 143) And do what? He could stop them from tunneling that way, but he can't use that to find out why they are doing it, since they don't know either. 154) I like the way his character came out 165) No, I can just ignore tham until I have time to answer them. 176) I was in the UK on V-Day, at Club meetings.

181.) LOL, I can't understand that though since my voice has not matured yet. 196.) in a good way, or a bad way? I am confused...
20New questions: Not asking for direct answers, but for the probability of:
217.) how LIKELY is it Takanuva could learn he is an Av-Matoran 228.) Is it POSSIBLE that the makuta mistika cannot use all of their powers because of the pit mutagen in the swamp of secrets. 239.)What kind of music do you listen to?
24Thanks again,


256) Not sure what you're confused about. You asked what I did for my wife on V-Day, and the answer is I wasn't home that day, I was out of the country for work. So beyond phoning, we couldn't do anything together that day. 267) Very 278) Anything's possible, but it's summer story so I'm not discussing it 289) Jazz, mostly

#463
1I think Antroz is on Jetrax (set-wise .) because Kopaka is the only Toa without a visor, so he wouldnt be able to have the new special edition spiked visor.

Axinian the Chronicler
1Hey there Greg. I'm sure you're swamped right now, so I'll try to keep these brief. :) I understand if you can't answer some.
21) If the Ignika goes black, would Mata Nui have his life drained too? 32) When the Great Beings left the Universe, they took the insane one (the fellow who touched the Ignika) with them too, right? 43) If the Universe Core was to have all light drained from it, would this have the same effect on the Universe as the Core ceasing to produce energy? 54) I know he doesn't now, but has MoMN ever known Mata Nui's location in the past? 6Thanks . 7-Ax-


81) No 92) He was never with them in this universe. 103) Yes 114) No.

12There we go. I was surprised to learn about 2, I guess I just assumed he had been with them in the Matoran Universe. 13The rest are just for my next theory. :) 14-Ax-
15Edit: To Omnox, you can find a link to PM Greg on the first page of the topic. :)

1Hi Mr.Farshtey,

21)Why do lewa and pohatu need rockoh T3 and axalara T9?
32)Will all the makuta be together in Legends 11? 42a)Toa?
5That is all.

61) That gets revealed in summer story 72) Most of the 2008 characters will be in Book 11, yes


82)Well,now we now almost all 2008 characters will be in Legends 11.
#467
1Just some stuff from Greg, may or may not be new: 2Hello Greg, just a few questions for you today, hope you have time to answer them. 31) It was stated somewhere that Antroz drives the Jetrax T6. That is correct? 41a) If so, how does he see(Radiak is not with him)? 51b) Do we(set buyers) just attach Radiak to him(I doubt it)?
62)Pohatu and Lewa are also driving T3 and T9 respectively. What about Kopaka, where is he?
7And could you tell me if my theory is correct. 8It was said somewhere that Antroz Highjacked the T6, if so, does this mean he coulod have taken over the original driver's body, and be able to see again? That would explain the lack of Radiak. And book 11 is called the Final Battle(or something like that), does this mean that all the Phantoka flew to the Swamp, and the toa beat the makuta there, getting two out of three of the vehicles, and the final battle is in the swamp?
9Thanks for your time.

101) Yes 111a) Gets answered in summer 121b) No, there wouldn't be room 132) Kopaka was driving the Jetrax and Antroz hijacked it 144) No. The original driver was Kopaka. As for what happens in Bionicle Legends #11, that will have to wait until Bionicle Legends #11 comes out.
151-1b)Nothing new really, just that Radiak won't be Antroz's "eyes" 162) no comment really. 174)Ther goes my theory :(
#468
1Like most near everyone on BZPower, I've got some questions I'm hoping you can answer.
21. Why did Lewa's mask adapt for the vehicles, but Pohatu's stayed the same?
32. In the Summer, will Antroz, Pohatu, and Lewa be a big part of Bionicle Legends 10, or will they be mostly in the online stories?
43. Any particular reason you chose to reveal Gorast's region, but none of the other 08 Makuta (minus Icarax) yet?
54. Which Mistika Makuta is the one that doesn't think the BoM is doing the right thing?
65. Can you reveal any information about the Tren Krom Peninsula?
76. Was Gorast the Makuta that originally created the Visorak?
87. How often do Makuta transform?
98. Does it take a large amount of time and energy for a Makuta to transform?
109. Does the shape Antroz's kanohi take when he's hijacking the T6 his mask's real form?
1110. Is/was Vultraz and Av-Matoran?

121) Far as I know, Pohatu's did not stay the same 132) Antroz, Pohatu and Lewa come into play, along with Kopaka, Vamprah, and Chirox, in Book 11. Book 10 focuses on the Mistika alone. 143) Cause I felt like it 154) Krika, and it is less about "right thing" as he simply doesn't see it as turning out well. Don't confuse dread of possible consequences with having a moral sense. 165) Not yet, but I will 176) Not created, no, conquered 187) As often as they need to. 198) No, shapeshifting is a natural ability for them 209) Not necessarily, no. 2110) No
224 and 10 are the only ones that seem very important. Now we know that it's Krika that opposes the BoM's plans.

1Hi I have a question on Mata Nui's location. In MNOLG the Toa go under ground and fight Makuta. I was wondering if that's the place where the great spirit Mata Nui is? Because after the Toa fight Makuta and you (the chronicler) discover the Borok nests you go up and fly though a portal/hole thing which is similar to the stone which represents Mata Nui? So I was wondering if that chamber (where the toa fight Makuta) is the place where Mata Nui is?
2And is there any reason why the isle Mata Nui looks like the rock Mata Nui? 3The isle has two lake's which look like eyes and a volcano/lava place which looks like the mouth.

4Lewa Rocks, you need to PM you questions to GregF. The last time he came into this topic was... a really long time ago. There is a link on the first page to send him a message. :)
#471
1Hello Greg. These are just some questions I have had. I tried to send them before you left, but something happened. I sorry if many of these questions have no real purpose.
21. Would the "Giant Olmak" on Destral be able (physically possible) to travel into the pocket dimension?
3ANSWER: I don't see how. If you assume it is a non-living, physical object, how it is going to make itself travel somewhere? That's like saying if you have a car in your driveway, can it go to your school by itself.
42. Is the chronicler in the pocket dimension Kodan still, or was that job not deemed necessary for Matoran to fill?
5ANSWER: No, it is still necessary, and yes, it would be Kodan.
63. Is Mavrah still alive and well in the pocket dimension?
7ANSWER: I would need to double-check if the book says exactly when Mavrah left the city.
83b. Come to think of it, what happened when the ancient Rahi came to Metru-Nui in the pocket dimension, if this event did happen.
9ANSWER: It happened. Basically, the same thing that happened in our universe, they were captured for study.
104. Is Pewku still in the possession of Orkahm in the Pocket Dimension?
11ANSWER: Yes.
125. I read in Bionicle Sector 01 that the Zone of Darkness is another pocket dimension. If true did it originally look like the real bionicle universe at one time and somehow changed into its current state?
13ANSWER: No. There is a difference between a pocket dimension and an alternate universe. The DM universe is both, the ZOD is not.
146.Could a Toa of shadow help make a Protodermis seal?
15ANSWER: Yes
166b. If Takanuva were to help using both of his powers, would you only need 5 Toa to make a shield?
17ANSWER: I am going to say no, because light and shadow cancel each other out.
187. What happened to the Dust Darters after Gail did a nova blast in the realm of Karzahni?
19ANSWER: Probably drowned.
208. What was your reaction to hearing the news about Exo-Force?
21ANSWER: It happens. If kids don't buy sets, then the line gets cancelled.
229. I asked before, but I didn't understand you answer, but can a Toa of Sonics create his own sounds with his power other than Sonics (i.e. A sound of a rock slide)?
23ANSWER: A sufficiently skilled one with a lot of practice could.
2410. Had the BoM been praised more by the Matoran, or at least enough the keep them happy, would they still have revolted?
25ANSWER: There probably would not have been that much support in the group for MOMN's plan.
2611. Do Makuta ever make self-destructive Rahi for entertainment.
27ANSWER: Sure
2812. Would it be possible for a Makuta to obtain any kind of a light side?
29ANSWER: Yes.
3013. Which is more powerful (for a Makuta) an Avsa or a Vorahk (or Vorahk's power)?
31ANSWER: Avsa is more flexible. Vorahk only absorbs one kind of thing.
3214. Is the glowing jelly-fish Rahi in the playsets a large light fish?
33ANSWER: No idea
3415. Since Matoran of light have more light (power wise) than other Matoran, are their attitudes generally kinder (lighter mentally)?\
35ANSWER: No
3616. Was our Tahtorak from Keetongu's homeland? 3716b.If so would he recognize him if he ever saw Keetoungu (both as a species and an individual)?
38ANSWER: Not something I have worried about
3917. Were wheels a development on Voya-Nui or did they originally come from the southern continent?
40ANSWER: Continent
4118. Would a Great Kril be able to regenerate the light in someone?
42ANSWER: No. Light regenerates naturally in someone if there is nothing to prevent it.
4319. Cowrie shells are seen as an item in MNOLG II. I know that Lego is trying not to use Maori terms, but since this is also recognized as an animal's common name, is it a canon item on the surface world?
4419b. If so can it also be assumed that it came from a kind of Rahi?
45ANSWER: Not in the Encyclopedia, so no.

4620. My personal opinion is that the Great Beings are a metaphor for the Lego group. They can create different universes (themes) and can put and end to these if disaster ( plague, famine etc. For G.B. and Low sales for Lego) occur. Is this all that far from the truth?
47ANSWER: I never saw it that way, but you can if you want to
48Thanks. 49A few interesting things, kind of disappointed with 16 and 19. I thought that 3b might be different, because a Toa empire would probably act differently to a rahi attack that Turaga Dume.
#472
1hmm, so makuta can have a light side. that's interesting.
#473
1So light does naturally regenerate... Interesting... :sly:
#474
11. How would campare Thok's gun and Mr. Freeze's gun?
22. Are there criminal organizations in BIONICLE beside the Dark Hunters and Brotherhood of Makuta?
33. Are there vigilante organizations in BIONICLE?
44. Does a being act like his/her element in term of personality?
55.
64. Does shadow leech work on Kraata-Kal?

74) It would, yes
8Can you explain specifically how a shadow leech would work on Kraata-Kal?

91) I probably wouldn't 102) Yes. We know from the Metru Nui Guide that there is organized crime among Matoran 113) Not that I know of 124) Some do, some probably don't 135) When kraata-kal was mutated by the energies that created the Bohrok-Kal, it ceased being a creature of pure shadow. That means it has light in it, even if not a lot, and shadow leeches feed on light. So they would work on him same way they work on anyone else.
