1And that about Mask of Feudality, I don't think an average 8-9 years old would understand Mask of Clairvoyance (or would they?)
2I have 9 years and those two Kanohi are simpliest masks i've heard of.
3Their powers sound simple because they are already used. the Mask of shadows does the same thing as causing fights, so why make another mask? And the useless mask is the same as corruption or makuta powers or matoran powers, so why make another for toa that shouldn't use those powers anyway?
4Neither of the mask names are very good either, mask of anger and mask of weakness would be much better for names.
5Ok for one they are not the same things . One is a Rahkshi power and is part of a Kraahkan power but theres only one made so not really good for Makuta .
6And for another reason is that these are for Makuta mainly, thats why I said that . I was saying those terms so it sounds more professional for Greg . And I did refer those names in another pm . Becuase he said it would be confusing even though he used Clairvoyance .
7And the Jutlin isnt the same thing as ineffective or unuseful, its corruption which erodes things . And I have no clue what you mean as same as corruption or makuta powers or matoran power .
8Its just more options for mask powers so he can get more Makuta in the Serials . Sorry if you dont want that . 9And it seems some ppl know what it means as long as they get an explaination for it ( for younger fans)
1QUOTE 2QUOTE 3QUOTE 4Hi Greg, I hope moving is going well and i hope you are enjoying your new home, and I have been thinking of some questions really really hard lately, and I would really like it if you can answer them to the best of your capabilities if that is fine with you, so here they are...
5Mata Nui 61.Will Mata Nui's Recent Dreams of Darkness ever come true in The Matoran Universe or anywhere else (like the Surface World, Field of Shadow, Endless ocean, etc.)?
72. In Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui, When the Toa Metru Confronted Teridax When Turaga Lhikan said "Makuta, You Sworn to Protect the Matoran .", and then Teridax said the Matoran have already been put in a coma, and soon even mata nui will sleep, Why Did Teridax Need to reach the top of the coliseum, and why did the Sun Holes Shut when he did Reach the top can you please explain that entire event?
83. If the Matoran Universe gets Hurt in any way, shape or form, will Mata Nui's status weaken aswell?
94. Why does Mata Nui Need the matoran to work, and why does he rely on them so much, like for example during the matoran civil war - the great disruption, my question is why is this so?
105. If Mata Nui is physically Stronger than the Great Beings, than that must mean he is bigger in size than the Great Beings, right?
115a. Are the Great Beings Human?
126. I've Come to a Fair Conclusion... To Awaken the Great Spirit Mata Nui, the Toa Nuva need to sacrifice their lives am I Correct?
137. What would happen to Mata Nui, and the Matoran Universe If There was No Karda Nui or it stopped functioning?
148. Are their More Universes of Bionicle?
158a. Can anyone see Mata Nui From outsive the Matoran Universe?
169. Ive Calculated that Mata Nui is 3 Billion, 696 Million Miles + in Length, is this right, If so how is that Possible?
1710. I've been Hearing something about some Two Bionicle Teams called Glatorians and Vastus, do you Know anything about them in terms of who and what they are?
18Thanks A Billion Greg ., Have A Great Week .
191) I can't discuss future storyline, but I can tell you that what Mata Nui has been dreaming of is what has been going on in story ... the suffering of the Matoran caused by the Makuta. 202) He went to the top because that was where he could draw the power from the power plant into himself. And the sun holes shutting was a sign that the time of shadow had begun 213) Yes, he is tied to the universe and it to him. 224) See answer to #3 -- his health is tied to the labors of the Matoran and the work they do. It's essential work. 235) Since I can't discuss the Great Beings, I can't answer this. I can say, though, that I am about 5'8 and of average strength -- and I know athletes who are 5'8 and much stronger than me. So greater strength does not automatically mean greater size 245a) There are no humans in BIONICLE 256) Nope, wrong. We did the "heroes must die to achieve (blank)" last year -- no reason to repeat it this year. 267) The universe would die and Mata Nui would die with it. 278) We know there are alternate universes, we saw them in web serials first half of the year 288a) I can't answer this 299) I have no idea where you got that figure from. What is it based on? 3010) The terms do not refer to teams, and I cannot discuss 2009 in any case
31Thanks Greg, Now I've made some Rather recent ones just now, if you may, can you answer these?
3211) What If Ever something fell from the sky on the surface world to a sun hole on Mata Nui, Say Naho Bay, What would Happen? - Would it be Harmful? - (Did it ever happen Before? (if so when?))
3312) Does the Red Star Have ANYTHING to do with Mata Nui's Awakening?
3413) Is Karda Nui Mata Nui'sHeart? - I Ask this because it looks like a Heart Stone.
3514) Will we Ever receive a full Map of the Surface World?
3615) Is the Red Star the Sun on The Surface World?
3716) Will the red star do anything in the near future? anything?
3817) Will we ever see Mata Nui (The Great Spirit)?
3918) Why does it appear that we will be going back to Mata Nui (island) in the near future?
4019) Can a being exit the Matoran Universe V.I.A. the bottom of Mangai Volcano?
41Thank you so much for your Knowledge, I will continue to study hard, sorry if I was of any Nuisance to you, but as I said before I get very Curious at times, so thans so much, I really enjoy it,
42Ryan
4311) I don't see how, the impact would be absorbed by the water. 4412) No 4513) Can't discuss the nature of Mata Nui 4614) I doubt it, not relevant to the story. 4715) No 4816) Red star is not an important part of story for the foreseeable future. 4917) Yes, end of 2008 5018) I have no idea why you think that, because it's not true. 5119) No.
52I think #3 just confirmed the Matoran universe is mn's body theory . By PlanetPerson .
1Um...no. We have always known that Mata-Nui's health is tied to the Matoran universe, that is the whole basis for the Mata-Nui=Matoran universe theory, but it doesn't prove anything.

8Its just more options for mask powers so he can get more Makuta in the Serials . Sorry if you dont want that . 9And it seems some ppl know what it means as long as they get an explaination for it ( for younger fans)
10Dude, don't burst a blood vessel. To use a common Greg term, "the point is moot," seeing as I think he said there are so many fan-suggestions being made, and he has such a small space, he really isn't paying attention to fan-suggestions for the serials. I'm not sure if that has to do with mask powers, but you can at least chill.
11Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho . 12

1QUOTEQUOTEQUOTEHello there. I hope I'm not interupting you, but I have some questions I'd like to ask you.
21.)Does Vampra avoid using his power screem/sonic attacks?
32.)Is the mutation process that the Makuta use closer to dunking an apple? (Imediate mutated Rahi.) Or is it like cooking something in a crock pot.
43.)Does the Felnas work on non Elemental powers?
53a.)By losing control of enemy powers, do you mean their powers start attacking the user? Shooting off in a random direction? Something else?
64.)Is a Makutas' magnetism power closer to Magnetos' power, or a force push/pull?
7Thank you very much.
81) No, because neither he nor any of the other Makuta know what effect the klakk's power has on this whole thing. The shadow leech project is relatively new. 92) More like the latter 103) Yes 113a) Could be a variety of things. 124) You would need to explain Magneto's power to me so I can answer this
13Sorry to PM you so soon. (I usualy try to keep it to once a week) But I have some stuff.
141.)I ment because Vamprah doesn't talk he wouldn't want to use sonic attacks, is this a good guess?
153a.)What kind of things?
164.)Magneto, a bad guy in the X-men. Has extremly powerfull Magnetic powers. (powerfull enough to rip off and carry an intire bridge away. And enough skill to warp metal like putty.) or, the baisic ability to push a metal object or pull it to you.
17Again very sorry, and thank you.
181) No. He doesn't talk because a good hunter does not make a lot of noise to alert his prey. Once your prey is trapped, it doesn't matter how much noise you make. 193a) Like the things you mentioned. 204) Well, what we have seen is more complex than push-pull
21Vamprah thing is kinda cool.

14Okay, but it just tends to be interperted as freaking out when every sentence ends with an exclamation point. And those last two sentences are contradictory - if he already has a lot of suggestions, why would making more help him?
15The Mask of Feudality is exactly the same as the Kanohi Kraahkan. The Kraahkan turns friends into enemies. So it does exactly what your mask does. It doesn't matter if they don't have Kraahkans for the other Makuta, because if they made Masks of Feudality for the other Makuta, there would be just a bunch of Kanohi Kraahkans.
16He's only going to fit as many Makuta as he has names for into the serials. So what good do more masks do if there aren't Makuta to wear them? He's not making Makuta for the masks, he's making masks for the Makuta. So it doesn't matter if he liked them or not, it's not going to put more Makuta into the serials.

19Sorry about that . Its a habit . And yeah I know what it does and what you mean but Kraahkan does more than that . Ok and yeah we dont have to talk about it anymore . On topic: I wonder how many more Makuta hes going to put in the story . And I bet they will be cool . Its too bad they have to pay that much for names and he doesnt have that much left .
1Okay, an interesting and funny answer from Greg.
10This goes into my signature. And into my Matoran Universe guide (link in signature).
2You once said that there is a reason why everything in the universe is biomechanical and you said "[biomechanical beings] serve the universe better." I have come to wonder why and whether you could tell me?
3Thanks, 4NtM
5Way more durable, for one thing.
6So do I put this together the right way?
7The reason the Great Beings created a Universe full of biomechanical beings is that they are tougher than organic beings. This serves the Universe better because that way the Matoran and other beings who do essential jobs can endure more, which serves the health of Mata Nui and the Universe (you told another member these two were connected to each other) because they can do their jobs without being as easily harmed as an organic being would be.
8NtM
9I would say that is an accurate sum-up. After all, we never hear of Matoran having sick days .. if they lose an arm or a leg, they can usually just attach a new one .. makes them a great labor force.

11That is true and yet funny . Thats cool .
1That is quite interesting... Funny a Matoran is like "Oh dear, yet another limb got servered. Well, i might as well go get a replacement. Again"
1Hi Greg. Valtika again, just one quick Q today.
21) Do other Matoran cities other than Metru-Nui have chutes?
3It's certainly a possibility
4Okay. 5In the "Bionicle World" guide, it said Zakaz use to have a sophisticated means of transportation before Spiriah came. Were these chutes?
6Doubt it
7I actually got quotes suggesting that they do over here.

8I just sent a GregF a question about a quote on BS01 saying Zakaz had chutes. 9Hope he replies soon.
1"Would make sense" =/= "yes". Besides, he's entitled to change his mind.
1That is quite interesting... Funny a Matoran is like "Oh dear, yet another limb got servered. Well, i might as well go get a replacement. Again"
2Yeah now I can see why its that way . They last longer and can get "replacements" . That must be really useful . And cool to be able do that .
3Reminds me of Fullmetal Alchemist, whenever Ed's mechanical arm gets busted and he has to get it fixed. I wonder if replacements are created the same way as the rest of the Matoran? Greg once said that if you asked a Matoran how he was made, he would most likely answer without blinking. So even though we don't know how, the Matoran certainly do. Makes sense if they have to get replacements now and then. 4Which also brings a question to mind: Is this why they live so long? Because their parts can be changed when they get old and worn?
1QUOTE 2QUOTE 3QUOTE 4Hi Greg, I hope moving is going well and i hope you are enjoying your new home, and I have been thinking of some questions really really hard lately, and I would really like it if you can answer them to the best of your capabilities if that is fine with you, so here they are...
5Mata Nui 61.Will Mata Nui's Recent Dreams of Darkness ever come true in The Matoran Universe or anywhere else (like the Surface World, Field of Shadow, Endless ocean, etc.)?
72. In Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui, When the Toa Metru Confronted Teridax When Turaga Lhikan said "Makuta, You Sworn to Protect the Matoran .", and then Teridax said the Matoran have already been put in a coma, and soon even mata nui will sleep, Why Did Teridax Need to reach the top of the coliseum, and why did the Sun Holes Shut when he did Reach the top can you please explain that entire event?
83. If the Matoran Universe gets Hurt in any way, shape or form, will Mata Nui's status weaken aswell?
94. Why does Mata Nui Need the matoran to work, and why does he rely on them so much, like for example during the matoran civil war - the great disruption, my question is why is this so?
105. If Mata Nui is physically Stronger than the Great Beings, than that must mean he is bigger in size than the Great Beings, right?
115a. Are the Great Beings Human?
126. I've Come to a Fair Conclusion... To Awaken the Great Spirit Mata Nui, the Toa Nuva need to sacrifice their lives am I Correct?
137. What would happen to Mata Nui, and the Matoran Universe If There was No Karda Nui or it stopped functioning?
148. Are their More Universes of Bionicle?
158a. Can anyone see Mata Nui From outsive the Matoran Universe?
169. Ive Calculated that Mata Nui is 3 Billion, 696 Million Miles + in Length, is this right, If so how is that Possible?
1710. I've been Hearing something about some Two Bionicle Teams called Glatorians and Vastus, do you Know anything about them in terms of who and what they are?
18Thanks A Billion Greg ., Have A Great Week .
191) I can't discuss future storyline, but I can tell you that what Mata Nui has been dreaming of is what has been going on in story ... the suffering of the Matoran caused by the Makuta. 202) He went to the top because that was where he could draw the power from the power plant into himself. And the sun holes shutting was a sign that the time of shadow had begun 213) Yes, he is tied to the universe and it to him. 224) See answer to #3 -- his health is tied to the labors of the Matoran and the work they do. It's essential work. 235) Since I can't discuss the Great Beings, I can't answer this. I can say, though, that I am about 5'8 and of average strength -- and I know athletes who are 5'8 and much stronger than me. So greater strength does not automatically mean greater size 245a) There are no humans in BIONICLE 256) Nope, wrong. We did the "heroes must die to achieve (blank)" last year -- no reason to repeat it this year. 267) The universe would die and Mata Nui would die with it. 278) We know there are alternate universes, we saw them in web serials first half of the year 288a) I can't answer this 299) I have no idea where you got that figure from. What is it based on? 3010) The terms do not refer to teams, and I cannot discuss 2009 in any case
31Thanks Greg, Now I've made some Rather recent ones just now, if you may, can you answer these?
3211) What If Ever something fell from the sky on the surface world to a sun hole on Mata Nui, Say Naho Bay, What would Happen? - Would it be Harmful? - (Did it ever happen Before? (if so when?))
3312) Does the Red Star Have ANYTHING to do with Mata Nui's Awakening?
3413) Is Karda Nui Mata Nui'sHeart? - I Ask this because it looks like a Heart Stone.
3514) Will we Ever receive a full Map of the Surface World?
3615) Is the Red Star the Sun on The Surface World?
3716) Will the red star do anything in the near future? anything?
3817) Will we ever see Mata Nui (The Great Spirit)?
3918) Why does it appear that we will be going back to Mata Nui (island) in the near future?
4019) Can a being exit the Matoran Universe V.I.A. the bottom of Mangai Volcano?
41Thank you so much for your Knowledge, I will continue to study hard, sorry if I was of any Nuisance to you, but as I said before I get very Curious at times, so thans so much, I really enjoy it,
42Ryan
4311) I don't see how, the impact would be absorbed by the water. 4412) No 4513) Can't discuss the nature of Mata Nui 4614) I doubt it, not relevant to the story. 4715) No 4816) Red star is not an important part of story for the foreseeable future. 4917) Yes, end of 2008 5018) I have no idea why you think that, because it's not true. 5119) No.
52I think #3 just confirmed the Matoran universe is mn's body theory . By PlanetPerson .
53#3 only proves that what ever happens in the Matoran universe affect Mata Nui, GregF himself told us that the matoran universe wasn't mata nui's body.
54Your right... It proves nothing....
1QUOTEYou did say that there is no romance in bionicle correct ? Well,unfortunatly some of us on Bs01(Me included)found some evidence supporting that there is,such as in LoMN Matau said he wanted to take 'A romantic ride-drive'with nokama,some of it is even on Bzp . .Now I'm ready, actullay,WE are ready to ask again:Is there romance in bionicle or not? If so, is it to a mild extent? No. LOMN also features the Rahaga flying around on basically helicopter blades, which also isn't anywhere else since the sets had no such thing. Movie people put in what they feel they need to for their movie, but the movie team is not part of the BIONICLE story team -- and the story team decides what is and isn't part of the universe.Frankly, this issue has been beaten to death and I'm really not sure how many times you guys need me to say no. 3Thank the Heavans thats over2QUOTEYou did say that there is no romance in bionicle correct ?

Follow the story, you'll find outTeridax1234-Well one of my questions has been answered.
71. Do you care that the book was released much earlier then planned? Or can you care less?
82. In the Codrex, is the room that the Toa did not open during their first visit essential to awakening Mata Nui?
93. Can the canisters in the Codrex be replaced? 103a. If so, have they been replaced sicne the Toa Nuva used them?
114. Did Matoran build the Codrex? 124a. If not, have the species that build it known to us? 134b. Any hints
145. Will Shadow Matoran be present in the final battle? Or are they there by the end of BL10, just not mentioned?
156. Who made the keystones?
167. Will we know of Takanuvas destiny by the end of the year?
178. Will BL11 be arranged similar to BL10, with a main story (BL10: Karda Nui, BL11: Final battle) and a side story (BL10:Takanuva, BL11:OoMN assault on Makuta)?
189. Will we be seeing Helryx in the future? 199a. A picture of her? 209b. A set of her?
21I have tons more, but I'll give you a break. Thanks again for doing so much for us .
221) The books always come out a month or more before the release date listed on Amazon. Always have, probably always will. 232) There is definitely a connection, yes 243) They can be, but have not been 254) Great Beings built it 265) Shadow Matoran will be present in Book 11, yes 276) Great Beings 287) I think not, most likely, as I have future plans for him beyond 2008 298) No, it's all main story. The OOMN thing will be dealt with in a serial 309) No set exists of her, so I tend to doubt you will see a pic, but she will reappear again in story this year
1Mr. Farshtey,
21) You once said that you originally had a different idea for what was going to happen for this year's story, but after an argument it got changed to what it is now. What would of happened if 2008's story hadn't been changed?
32) Did the Great Beings invent the Matoran language for them, or did they just learn it from them? The reason I ask this is because on the Keystones, there is information on how to wake Mata Nui that is written in an ancient Matoran dialect, but it was made by the Great Beings.
43) a. Would you say the domes are perfect semi-spheres, or more rugged rock? 5b. Are the domes located below or above the sea floor?
6Thanks for your time, 7-K
81) This year would have been about saving Mata Nui's life, not waking him up. 92) The Matoran language was created by the GBs, yes 103) I see them as varying in size and shape 113b) Some are above, some are below
12Yeah, I don't know if these are known or not, so I just posted them 13-K
1Does anyone know where the direct light from Karda Nui come from .? I remember Greg saying it produces light . But from where .?
1Hey Greg,
2Cleaning the slate of old questions with new. Thanx . <- ur fave . . .
31. Does Mata Nui have body parts, such as a brain and heart? 41a. If yes, are they powered/fueled by the matoran?
52. 2009 is not in an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE, a DOME, the SURFACE (aka same level of the is. MN), in SPACE, on another PLANET? Correct, for I recall seeing quotes by you agreeing with these.
63. Are there other Great Spirits?
74. Is a Glatorian the same as a Toa? Similar? 84a. And Vastus is a misspelling, correct?
95. Are their different Layers of life on the planet (such as the top layer is the endless ocean and matoran universe, and then under that there is a whole layer).
106. Any future Bionicle video games in the making?
117. Will McDonalds or Burger King act as a promoter for Bionicle again like in the early years with matoran and comics?
12Thanx again for your time .
131, 2, 4) Can't answer it 143) Not that I know of 155) Nope 166) Not that I know of 177) Something may go on this year, not sure
18Hmmmm..

19@ #8: PLEASE (if they do) let it be similar to the Tohunga.
1So some domes are above the seafloor. Cool .
1Didn't we always know that?
1QUOTE 2Hi Greg . I hope all is going well . 31) Has Teridax (great name by the way .) factored into the plan that a group like the OoMN (even though he doesn't know about them specifically) would rebel against the BoM? 41a) If not, will this whole war that the OoMN is launching come as a complete suprise to Teridax? 51b) Or, will it not affect the Plan in any way? 62) At the end of Bionicle Legends #11, can you confirm that no characters will die? 73) Mata Nui will be awakened by the end of Bionicle Legends #11, correct? 8Thank you for your time, 9T-Nui
101) No 111a) Yes 122) I can confirm no Toa Nuva will die 133) Read it and find out 14END QUOTE
15Hmm... He cam only confirm that no Toa Nuva can die. Interesting... And a suprise for Teridax .

191)Is it possible that the Great Beings have constructed other Codrex-like structures (That don't necessarily have the same function) in the Matoran Universe? (I ask because there is a topic in S&T that is based upon a description of a structure underground in Bionicle Legends #1 that is eerily similar to the Codrex)

24Lol. Greg, Master-writer of the Bionicle story, has things about the story that he's not aware of.
25QUOTE 26Hello Mr. Farshtey . 27Its a pleasure speaking to the Bionicle-Man himself for the first time. I understand how busy you must be, so I'll keep the questions to just one.
28How did Lhikan's noble hau transform to be shaped like a great hau when Jaller donned it?
29Thank you in advance for all that you do, 30Takanuva-nui
31Basically, because it was being given to him to commemorate Toa Lhikan, not Lhikan as a Turaga, so the desires of the Turaga caused it to change shape. Note, though, that it did not turn into a Great Mask in terms of power level -- it was still a Noble mask. 32END QUOTE
33QUOTE 34Thank you for the speedy response previously.
351) You said that the turaga "willed" Lhikan's noble hau to be shaped like a great hau. I'm assuming that they didn't want it to be shaped like Lhikan's original great hau to prevent them from knowing about Metru Nui. Am I correct in this assumption?
362) And also, if the turaga "willed" the mask to change it's shape, is it possible for them to change the shapes of other masks?
373) Can other beings perform this as well?
38Thank you for your time, 39Takanuva-nui
401) There really is no complex story reason for why it looks like a Tahu Hau. It looks like a Tahu Hau because the Lhikan set did not exist when the Jaller set was first made. 412-3) We know that Matoran turn into what they believe a Toa looks like, which can also affect the shape of masks. 42END QUOTE

1Lol, Teridax is gonna get a litte suprise present, all wrapped up and with a bow on top.
1Hi Greg. Valtika again, just one quick Q today.
21) Do other Matoran cities other than Metru-Nui have chutes?
3It's certainly a possibility
4Okay. 5In the "Bionicle World" guide, it said Zakaz use to have a sophisticated means of transportation before Spiriah came. Were these chutes?
6Doubt it
7So this quote is false?8There are chutes on Zakaz, but they have mostly been destroyed over the years by the Skakdi.
9That is from BS01
10Depends on where they got the quote from.
1I remember asking him about chutes in Zakaz a couple months back, and he told me no as well.
1Hi Greg. These are all questions I posted on "the other BIONICLE forum" which you haven't answered. I'm PMing them to you here because that forum's topic for these sorts of questions is really piling up with unanswered questions, and you already missed one of my sets of questions because it was all mixed up with those of other people.
2You can ignore these questions there if you answer them here; in fact, once I get a response, I'll edit the questions out of my post there to make things easier for you to pick out other people's questions. Here goes:
31. Since shadow leeches have a short lifespan, do Tridax Pods help keep them alive until used? I know it's pretty obvious, but I need an official statement since I'm pretty certain you never touched on the subject in a book.
42. If you supported romance in BIONICLE, which two characters do you think would make the best couple? (i.e. boyfriend-girlfriend)
52b. Which couple would probably be the most fun to write for?
63. When you wrote for Nikila in Dreams of Destruction, did you have personality traits in mind for Toa of Lightning or did you just make up a personality for Nikila and her alone?
73b. Which of her personality traits would you consider typical of a Toa or Matoran of Lightning?
84. Do you select the names for new characters, masks, etc. from the approved names list or does someone else do that? I'd guess set designers, but then that leaves the question of how names are chosen for stuff that doesn't appear in sets.
95. The Vortixx of Xia don't care who it is they serve as long as they get good payment. What about the Nynrah Ghosts?
106. When Tahu, Pohatu, and Onua become Akamai Nuva, the new entity's Kanohi Aki Nuva is identical to Tahu's Hau Nuva. Would the same be true with the adaptive masks?
116b. Can the same be said for the adaptive Miru Nuva (both environments) and the adaptive Rua Nuva?
127. Did the Hand of Artahka have any connection to Artahka, or at least any reason his name was tied to the organization?
138. In an old PM, you told me that Kopaka's eyepiece and similar attachments could be manually removed. When Kopaka got his new adaptive Akaku Nuva, was the eyepiece already on the opposite eye from his old one, or did he manually switch it to his left eye so he could better aim his Skyblaster?
14Thanks in advance. Your help is always appreciated, and forgive me if I seem impatient in taking these here. But I'd hate to have the bulk my questions drive you away from so many fans on the other forum.
151) No 162-2b) I really am too busy to answer hypotheticals 173) Just for her 184) I choose for some things, the franchise manager does for others 195) Nynrah like to work, but they have been known to sabotage projects, like the Fohrok, if they dislike what they will be used for 206) Most likely 216b) I guess so 227) Artakha created the Toa Mata and many of the other fundamental things in the universe, that's why it was named for him 238) It was already on the opposite eye
24Comments:
251) Strange... I guess the Makuta have to make their raids within three hours of "reloading", then... 262) Rats. 273) Again, rats. (Guess we still have to infer what Toa of Lightning are like, then...) 284) Interesting. 295) Good point. 306) Not enough confirmation to put it on the wiki... but at least the MOCists will be happy. 317) Hmmm, Artahka made other stuff? I wonder what? 328) Rats once more.
33Dude,there is no romance in bionicle,although I'm still questioning the storyteam's logic behind it.
1Hey Greg, I'm not 100% sure how accurate the information I'm basing this question off of is, but I'm taking it from the Wiki.
2According to the Wiki, Av-Matoran are larger than the average Matoran tribe because of exposure to Karda Nui's energies. Also according to the Wiki, Takanuva has grown so huge because of his exposure to the Core. The wiki claims that, if removed from the core, Av-Matoran would revert to smaller sizes. Does this mean, then, that outside of the core, Takanuva would also return to the average size of a Toa?
3Yes, that is correct
4Not sure if that's news to anyone or not, but Takanuva is not permanently gargantuan.
5Now we just have to hope he lives to see a day when he can leave Karda Nui.
