2Greg, 32 questions. 41. Is it possible that there might be another domed universe on the bionicle planet. 52. Does the pit mutagen only mutate beings to be adapable to water( like water breathing, fins, etc.) 6thanks 7-SK81) No 92) No -- but the people not mutated into something other than water-breathers drowned, which is why you didn't meet them

1Here's a conversation I had with Greg. There's one answer of somewhat importance, but the others are just minor.
33Well, what do you think?
34Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho . 35
2Hey Greg. I know you're super-busy, and I appreciate the time you take out of your busy schedule to answer our questions. It means a lot to me, and to Bzpers in general.
3I'm sorry if you got this PM already; you've been answering other people's PMs, so I wasn't sure with the server being what it is.
41. What was Lesovikk's team's purpose? 52. In City of the Lost, in the 80,000 year flashback, the Barraki are studying tablets. One has key locations on the central continent. Is this the northern continent, or are there three? (Northern, Central, Southern) 63. Due to the merging of Takutanuva, does Takanuva know Teridax's real name? 74. Was the place where the Dark Hunter Spinner fell into a near-bottomless pit his homeland, or a place his team was visiting? 85. Recently I had the crazy idea that I wanted to draw a comic of Federation of Fear. I'll be asking you questions when I hit snags, and I hit a snag in Chapter 2 with the Steltian trader: the Sidorak/Voporak physical discontinuity. I understand that Voporak has been mutated, but you also said that he doesn't necessarily look all that different than before. For the most part, they look the same, but two things have been bugging me.
9One, his head. This makes no sense to me whatsoever, unless it was changed when he was mutated. He looks more like Roodaka in that respect than Sidorak. So, is it safe to assume that his head was changed when he was mutated?
10On a side note, Roodaka was part of that mutation. I know this sounds like a suggestion, but hear me out. Voporak looks slightly like a Vortixx. I could see Roodaka making sure her handiwork showed as part of his mutation, so she changed his head to something resembling a Vortixx. Would that part be possible?
11Secondly, Voporak's second set of arms can be considered part of his mutation as well, not natural, right?
12Thank you for your time, especially on #5.
13
141) Do you mean their destiny or what their job was? 152) Southern. 163) No. If he had that kind of access to information, he would also know Teridax's plan, yet he does not 174) Visiting 185a) Yes 195b) Yes 205c) Correct. When in doubt, go with Sidorak as your model, as he is a pure example of his species.
21Again, sorry if you already have this; you can never tell with the darn server...
221. Well, seven of their destinies were to be killed by Zyglak, so, what was their job? 231a. Is Lesovikk's destiny to help refill the Pit? 245b. Okay; does this mean Vortixx males have crests instead of the ponytails the females have?
25New one: 261. I don't recall if this has been adressed officially - is Nektann male or female?
27Thank you for your time.
28
291) We don't know, as we have not told stories about them. It seems as if they were operating in a number of places, not just one geographic region. 301a) We'll see if we tell more stories about him 315b) Not something I have worried about. 321) Nektann is male
33Well, what do you think?

34Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho . 35
36You are drawing a Federation of Fear comic? EXCELENT . and that info of the Sidorak's species sounds interesting...
1Hey, that's Greg's line.
2So it takes a few weeks for a Makuta's antidermis to dissipate? Dang, those Makuta are hard to kill.
3Actually, you can use something like laser vision and destroy it on the spot.
4Yes, in Dark Mirror, Kojol's armor was ripped apart by a Toa of Iron, then a Toa of Plasma incinerated his antidermis. It happened in seconds, so you can kill a Makuta fairly easily if you can get a clean shot with the right weapon(s).
5@The OoMN Chronicler: You better finish that comic, I so wanna see it. I've been thinking of doing some art lately myself. Maybe I should illustrate the Mahri Nui serials.
1Hi Greg
2I've got some questions:
31- Is Krika the Makuta of Artidax? 4A: No
52- After the Metru Nui cival war, were the energy storms in Karda Nui weakened? 6Because I don't see Jovan and his team go into Karda Nui while does storms are active. 7A: Yes
83- Why was Mata Nui dying during the 06-07 saga? Because of the virus or that the metru-matoran hadn't worked for a 1000 year? 9A: A combination of multiple things, including the two you mentioned
104- Was the voice that told Lewa to get the sundial Krakua's? 11A: Can't answer it
125- Where did Pohatu and Onua found the Heart of the Visorak? Destral? Tren Krom Peninsuela? 13A: Hasn't been revealed
146- Are Makuta capable of shapeshifting their tools? 15A: Yes
167- Since the Hydruka Thulox and Morak never appeared are those Hydruka still canon? 17A: Yes, they were sets
188- A while back you said that if Nektann would be a set he would be $30 set. 19Does that mean that he is bigger than other Skakdi? 20A: Or that he would be packaged with vehicle or a mount 218b- What Are Nektann's powers and Element? Or are you going to reveal it in the serial? 22A: No idea at this point
239- Why isn't the Komau considered a dark Kanohi? 24A: Because it is not a mask used by Makuta, and its power is not inherently evil. You could use mind control to stop a killer from killing, right?
2510- Was Artidax always such a dark island or did that became so over time? 26A; Always
2711- Is Lesovikk's homeland still invested by Zyglak or are they gone? 28A: Probably gone by now
2912- The Rahi Nui was created by Teridax, correct? 3012b- And Lesovikk once defeated it, correct? 31A: Yes, and Lesovikk once fought it, I don't think we stated that he defeated it
3213- Why does the BoM conquer so many islands with the Visorak? Is it part of the plan or so? 33A: Yes
34All for now
35See answers above, 36Greg
1Hello again Greg, hope you're doing well. Just read the september comic.
2Just two questions for now,
31)Have started writing DW?
42)Why did Krika doesn't want the plan to succeed? 52a)Does this mean he still has a little light in him left?
6Thanks in advance. Hope you can answer them.
71) No, I have to find my voice recorder first, and it is still packed away. 82) No, Krika simply sees no benefit to himself. He doesn't think things will be better for him if the plan succeeds or if it fails.
9Thanks for answering my questions and here's a new one:
10Why did he picked Gali? 11Did he randomly choose or for a specific reason?
12Thanks again.
13Because Gali is a peacemaker and less inclined to answer every situation with force, so he thought she would be more likely to be reasonable.
14Just some things I was wondering.
1Wow, wonder why he can't answer any questions about who told Lewa to grab the sundial.Wow, wonder why he can't answer any questions about who told Lewa to grab the sundial.
1One more brief question:
22) Is the Matoran Universe above or below the seabed of the endless sea surrounding the island of Mata Nui? Can it be, say, 'de-rooted' from the Bionicle Planet, or is it physically bonded with the Planet?
3Thanks, 4pirakahakann
52) No, it is not physically bonded to the planet.
6Don't think a comment for this would be necessary.
1So it takes a few weeks for a Makuta's antidermis to dissipate? Dang, those Makuta are hard to kill.
2Unless you find a way to destroy them on the spot or enclose them in something permanently. You don't necessarily HAVE to kill them, just keep their substance locked up in an immobile armor. Nonetheless, even THAT would be hard to do.
3You might find this little goody on Makuta substance interesting:
4Alright, to my understanding, the gaseous substance dubbed "antidermis" is the physical essence of a Makuta, correct? Green, swirly gas that inhabits specially crafted armor allowing the Makuta to move.
5Well, that substance can leave its main shell to travel to new ones (to my understanding). Just how far could antidermis travel before it dissipated and the Makuta died? Is it even possible for the antidermis to be taken out of a Makuta's body against their will?
6By that, I mean could a foe break through the armor, allowing the substance to leak out.
7Thank you, 8~Javi
91) Yes, if you pierce the armor, the antidermis will leak out. 102) A Makuta can survive outside of a body for a few weeks. After that, the antidermis will dissipate and the Makuta will die.
11Okay; just a follow-up: how many miles per hour could antidermis travel, and can it inhabit any body, not just robotic ones?
12Basically, can any Makuta do what Teridax did in taking over living, thinking bodies such as the Voya Nui Matoran.
13Okay, second question first -- you are talking apples and oranges a little bit, because the antidermis used on the Voya Nui Matoran did not "take them over." It simply made them susceptible to suggestion. They would follow orders from a Toa, a Piraka, anyone -- Makuta was not in control of them.
14I do not have an MPH for antidermis, but I can tell you Makuta can possess two kinds of bodies -- a robot body, or a living body that has no spirit in it.
15~Javi
16so when teridax was in the crystal vat did that count as being in armor or if he had stayed in the vat to long would we of died? that and everytime the piraka uysed some antidermis in the spheres, did that take from teridaxes substance, weakening him, or did it become a teridax baby, or what. i must pm greg about this.
17off topic: how do you get pics for your avatar and banner?
18edit: woot . first on page .
19As far as I know, yes, that was armor--you can enclose antidermis in any type of vat, sphere, etcetera, and it will keep them at bay until they can get into a new armor; if the vat was broken, the antidermis would be free.
20I think that, because it is inside the Matoran, it can't dissipate; if it comes out and doesn't rejoin the rest, it will go away and weaken the Makuta.
21Off-Topic: You just have to upload the pictures. It's not too hard. If my very short and simple explanation is not understandable, just PM me and I'll help you through it. 22~Javi
1How do you know?
1Would you mind answering a few questions?
2I recall somewhere you mentioning that Takanuva would have a part in the 2009 storyline. Is this true 3ANSWER: No, I never said any such thing. That is just BZP speculation.
4Is it a way to show some sense of nostalgia in a new universe? 5ANSWER: See answer above.
6Will we be seeing other characters from the past that we've either seen sets of or not? 7ANSWER: In 2009? I cannot discuss 2009.
8Is defeating the Makuta and helping Mata Nui awaken the way for Helryx to complete her destiny and become a Turaga? 9ANSWER: No. Awakening Mata Nui is the destiny of the Toa Nuva, not hers.
10Is Nektann larger than other Skakdi? 11ANSWER: Larger than some, not as large as others.
12Why doesn't Vultraz have wings? 13ANSWER: Because he was not mutated to have them.
14Will Mazeka make in appearance in the universe core? 15ANSWER: Yes
16Did Helryx design the Swamp Strider specifically for matoran? 17ANSWER: No
18Just as there are Skakdis of fire and ice could there also be a Skakdi of, say, gravity or such? 19ANSWER: Yes
20Did Helryx and Krakua start out as Matoran? 21ANSWER: Krakua did, Helryx did not
22Could Tren Krom bring beings back to life? 23ANSWER: No
24About how many matoran live in the Tren Krom Peninsula? 25ANSWER: Probably a few hundred
26About how many OoMN agents exist? 27ANSWER: Can't answer it
28About how many Great Beings are there? 29ANSWER: Can't answer it
30Are any of the other T- vehicles able to become super charged with energy like Jetrax? 31ANSWER: If the same thing happened to them that happens to Jetrax, yes

11. About when did Jerbraz turn invisible?
22. When did the Order recruit Ancient?
33. Did Krakua give his message to Vakama yet? If not, when will he?
44. How much time has elapsed since the Mahri returned to Metru Nui and now?
51) Some times ago 62) After the DH was formed 73) No, he did not 84) Couple days
9Just some things.
1How do you know?
2A picture of mata-nui will be in the magazine. A map is technically a picture of the MU. Since the map is not going in the magazine . Then he can't be the MU. 3---Destro
4Actually, they don't have to be the same thing. The picture of Mata Nui would be of the outside of the MU, while the map would be a diagram of the inside. If you saw a picture of a battleship, it wouldn't be the same as seeing a blueprint of its rooms and corridors.
5We might be getting our "battleship picture" of Mata Nui in the magazine, but getting the "interior blueprints" as the MU map in the Polish guidebook.
1Hey Greg . I have a few questions mainly regarding characters in the currents SS's, so here they are:
21. We recently saw Jerbraz in a new serial. Do you have plans to sneak Tobduk and Johmak into the story too?
32. Of the two order agents flanking Helryx in Dwellers in Darkness, one was Botar's replacement, correct?
43. Will the four armed giant and Botar's replacement ever be named?
5Thanks in advance .
61, 3) Don't know yet 72) Yes
8Interesting . This could mean we have a slight chance of Tobduk and Johmak being in the story, and Helryx's men .
1Mata-nui is not the MU
2QUOTE 3Hey Greg, Hope you are doing fine.
41. Is the matoran universe a living thing. 52 will they map of the matoran universe be published in the magazine.
6---Destro
71) I don't follow you 82) No, only in the Polish guidebook.
9Greg didnt say no to 1 he said he didnt understand, and a map and picture are very different things

10That is incorrect .
11Why are you people determined to disprove the theory? I mean, you guys come up with these quotes saying 'OMG I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER MATA NUI ISN'T THE MU .' 12But you only come up with a quote where Greg answers 'I don't understand you'. 13It's perhaps the best theory on Bzpower and It has a 99% chance of being right . I mean, look at the evidence .
14-Freeze
1Nothing really new here, but some things were cleared up .
2Hello Greg, thank you so much for taking the time.
31) Do the Bahrag control the Krana (and therefore, Bohrok) like we can control our arms and legs, or do they control them more like we control a computer? (Giving them instructions and let them carry it out on their own.)
42) Does Makuta control the Kraata in a similar way?
53) How long does it take for a Matoran Pod to weaken you and erase your memory?
64) When the Turaga awoke the Matoran, did the Matoran remember their names, friends, how to read, etc.?
75) Were there other Matoran than the traditional six types on Voya-Nui?
86) Where did Nuju's eyepiece go when he became a Turaga?
97) If the Toa Nuva were to sacrifice their power, would they still be able to wear adaptive armor?
10Thanks a bundle, sir.
11P.S. Love your sig.
121) The latter 132) Yes 143) Not that long 154) Yes, but over time, their memories of Metru Nui faded. 165) Not that I am aware of 176) He had it removed from his mask. It was just an add-on. 187) Yes, the armor is just armor, it's not tied to Toa power.

15Well, every theory is going to be attempted to be disproved, that's why they call it a theory. And maybe he was confused (Although, to be perfectly honest, Greg seemed crystal clear). Besides, even I don't think that Mata Nui is the MU, it just doesn't make sense in so many places. But everyone has their opinions.
16Destro, you are wrong. That quote proves nothing.
1QUOTE 2QUOTE 3QUOTE 4QUOTE 5QUOTE 6Quick Q,
7Since the Toa Nuva can set time blasts of power, would the be able to make something with their elemental go on idefinately?
8Ex: Their is a cave that is filled with ice, and Tahu needs to melt it, but also has another mission to do, so would he make the cave heat up and leave and go on his mission, but still have the cave be heated with it sapping a little bit of his fire power while he's on his mission.
9Why not just shoot a bolt of fire and melt it? There's no need to do it over time, he can do it in two seconds.
10Sorry, I don't think you got my point. That was the example, and as you pointed out is wasn't a very good one, what I was trying to say is that is it possible for one of the Toa Nuva to pull something like that. 11And your right, I should have thought of a better example.
12Also, do you get upset when people look at leaked images of new sets?
13I get upset when anyone wastes their time. Leaked images are often of poor quality or prototypes, and people jump to conclusions about the quality of the sets based on them.
14You forgot to answer my main question. If you do have time, would you please?
15I would say no. To do what Tahu Nuva does this year, you expend a set amount of power and just time its release. To do what you are suggesting, you need to constantly maintain the power so it can keep going on, and so you can't just time that and walk away.

1One more brief question:
22) Is the Matoran Universe above or below the seabed of the endless sea surrounding the island of Mata Nui? Can it be, say, 'de-rooted' from the Bionicle Planet, or is it physically bonded with the Planet?
3Thanks, 4pirakahakann
52) No, it is not physically bonded to the planet.
6Don't think a comment for this would be necessary.
7So no one cares about this neat little fact? Doesn't anyone find it strange that the Matoran Universe is not even physically part of the planet it resides on?

8I finnd it very interesting. That might mean that the universe's existence is alien to the planet. Why would that be, I wonder?

9Because it didn't exist until the Great Beings created it, perhaps?
1Yes, but usually when you dig a bunch of caves and build some cities in it, the dwellings are artificially made, but the location itself is rooted to and part of its surroundings. It sounds as though the universe itself could be separated from the planet, if it's not physically bonded to it.
1Jungle could just be another word for "plant life", you know.
2Besides, look at my little timeline of presumed fan reactions:
32001: Woah . Cool . 42002: Hmm... new enemies? Cool . And look, the Toa transformed . Awesome . 52003: Recolors? Meh. Cool powers. And OMG Rahkshi . And Makuta . 62004: High-tech city? Oh noes, Bionicle is RUINED . 72005: OK, it was ruined. But what's this? Mutated Toa? Bionicle is RUINED . 82006: Ah, good. Back to the Nuva. Jaller &co = strange Toa? Weird grinning Piraka in a darker storyline? Bionicle is RUINED . Cool sets, though. 92007: Underwater... Bionicle jumped the shark . 102008: Ugly Nuva . Weird Makuta . Bionicle is RUINED . 112009: Oh no . More changes that we know barely anything about . Bionicle is RUINED . RUINED, I say .
12As a fan who's liked almost everything in the story so far apart from the beastly Hordika, I'll just wait until we know what's actually going on with voicing my opinion. BZP seems to yell that "Bionicle is RUINED ." every time something new is introduced. 13May be gross overgeneralization, but meh. You only hear from those who complain, so my view is limited.
14BZP usually says that after seeing the the hero sets. Ever since the Metru saga, I never heard of BZPers complaining about villains.
15They compalined about Gorast right? oh and why is 2009 ruined?? you've only read 1 PARGRAPH and you've already judged 2009 cause there's no air??..
16by the way
17Hey Greg . Just thought up of some questions ^^
181. Can Teridax/a Makuta Shapeshift into Mata-Nui? 192. Did Gorast Transform into Helryx in BIA chapter 1? 203. hmmm Im just guessing... If you cant answer this just tell me the usual: is Mata-Nui the old character in 2009 (since Mata-Nui was revealed since 2001) 214. How does jebraz become invisible? 225. will we ever see the oter 2 OoMN members who created the Atlas? 236. Are Great Beings Bigger than Mata-Nui?
24Thanks for Reading and answering GregF .
251) No. It would require way too much additional mass to achieve that. 262) No 273) I can't discuss 2009 284) He became invisible as the result of experiments to enhance his powers 295) No idea 306) Can't answer it
31EDIT: Im also one of those old fans way back from 2001 (I bought all the throwbots too) . . My first set was Gali . so its OK to have jungle in 2009 ^^ ... Kinda offtopic >>
32My first set was Gali as well . (Or was it the Nui-Jaga?) Anyways, If that is true (about jungle), I am excited. I thought Lewa was a toa of plantlife when BIONICLE came out. I hope this is not spam...

1Hi.
2I've heard it as both, and I just wanted clarification: 3Does it go Kingdom, JoT, and DM? 4Or does it go DM, JoT, and Kingdom?
5I'm assuming it's the first, as he has the Power Lance in JoT and at the end the Hau tells Taka not to judge people based on appearance, which seems to lead into DM, where all the Toa are villains.
6JOT, Kingdom, DM. He has the weapons in JOT because LEGO would not approve the art unless it was the current set, and because I am not worrying about continuity between the readers and the rest of the story since the readers are for 5 year olds and I am not expecting a lot of older BIONICLE fans to be reading them.
1Mata-nui is not the MU
2QUOTE 3Hey Greg, Hope you are doing fine.
41. Is the matoran universe a living thing. 52 will they map of the matoran universe be published in the magazine.
6---Destro
71) I don't follow you 82) No, only in the Polish guidebook.

10That is incorrect .
11Why are you people determined to disprove the theory? I mean, you guys come up with these quotes saying 'OMG I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER MATA NUI ISN'T THE MU .' 12But you only come up with a quote where Greg answers 'I don't understand you'. 13It's perhaps the best theory on Bzpower and It has a 99% chance of being right . I mean, look at the evidence .
14-Freeze
15He was talking about the second question and how a map of the MU will not be in the magazine, but a picture of Mata Nui will.
16Personally, I would agree with destro on the opinion that Mata Nui is not the MU. In opposition to what others have said about how a map would show the inside, if Mata Nui is the MU, it would be showing the inside of him and therefore would be a picture of him. A cut away picture that shows a persons lungs is still a picture of that person, right?
1You might find this little goody on Makuta substance interesting:
2Alright, to my understanding, the gaseous substance dubbed "antidermis" is the physical essence of a Makuta, correct? Green, swirly gas that inhabits specially crafted armor allowing the Makuta to move.
3Well, that substance can leave its main shell to travel to new ones (to my understanding). Just how far could antidermis travel before it dissipated and the Makuta died? Is it even possible for the antidermis to be taken out of a Makuta's body against their will?
4By that, I mean could a foe break through the armor, allowing the substance to leak out.
5Thank you, 6~Javi
71) Yes, if you pierce the armor, the antidermis will leak out. 82) A Makuta can survive outside of a body for a few weeks. After that, the antidermis will dissipate and the Makuta will die.
9Okay; just a follow-up: how many miles per hour could antidermis travel, and can it inhabit any body, not just robotic ones?
10Basically, can any Makuta do what Teridax did in taking over living, thinking bodies such as the Voya Nui Matoran.
11Okay, second question first -- you are talking apples and oranges a little bit, because the antidermis used on the Voya Nui Matoran did not "take them over." It simply made them susceptible to suggestion. They would follow orders from a Toa, a Piraka, anyone -- Makuta was not in control of them.
12I do not have an MPH for antidermis, but I can tell you Makuta can possess two kinds of bodies -- a robot body, or a living body that has no spirit in it.
13~Javi
14so when teridax was in the crystal vat did that count as being in armor or if he had stayed in the vat to long would we of died? that and everytime the piraka uysed some antidermis in the spheres, did that take from teridaxes substance, weakening him, or did it become a teridax baby, or what. i must pm greg about this.
