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.
2some one had a thery on the 2009 location possibly revealed that the matoran universe was an implant in matanui and mata nui was the planet. oh and here is what greg said on antidermis:
3sry about the 2 pm's but recently you said that the makuta can survive a few weeks out of a body. well when teridax was in the crystal with the piraka, did that count as being in armor or if he had been in for too long would he die? also when the piraka took some antidermis for the spheres did it weaken teridax or was it part of teridax just seperated from his main body or where they baby teridaxes or not phase him or what?
4with my regards oh great almost supirior to me being, 5Redge the bat.
61) The crysal served to keep his antidermis together so it did not dissipate. And the amount taken by the Piraka was too small to matter.
7and i sent him another pm asking about more details. stay tuned .
1I got a quote a few pages back, where Greg sorta kinda implied Mata Nui won't be on the map 
:
: 22. Given the sheer size of Mata Nui, would he show up on the map of the MU, like structures showing up on aerial maps, or will it be more of a geographical map?
32) It's only showing islands and continents
1i have sent to pms to greg about the makuta. one i mentioned earlyer and the second is asking what order the known makuta are ranked in. does anyone hear know this all ready? mutran the mighty is the best and is better than me.

1Erm... what exactly are you saying?
1Erm... what exactly are you saying?
2me? if you meant me i mean does anyone know how high up the known makuta are up in the brother hood. for example we know terdiax is leader, and Icrax, Antroz, and Krika are probably the 4 highest. as Icrax was substatute tyrant and 3antroz lead karda nui strike, and krika because he was second in karda nui strike, and he was with teridax in DM
1In responce to the Mata Nui = MU theory, it's not set in stone. As Greg has said, he has seen no evidence come up to prove or disprove the theories of what/where Mata Nui is. Also, we're working on limited intelligence; who says it has to be something we already know? For all we know, there's a dome that's a million feet high in the MU.
2I'm just reenforcing what Greg has said: it's all how you interpret the facts.

51. Does Sidorak's species come in different colors? 61. If so, what color do you imagine the Trader to be?
7Thank you for your time.

91) Yes, they do 101a) Primarily teal

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.
9
10Unless the MU is Mata-Nui's internal organs-like. I can't see my hear or liver, sorry, thus it must not be part of me. (
) 11No, it's a picture of that person's lungs.
12And did Greg actually say a picture of MN would not be in the Polish guide?
13Reya
14I meant including the rest of the persons body, which in this case would be the rest of the MU.
15I doubt it would include the MU, cause it's inside Mata-Nui, he had the domewalls covering them.
1Hey Greg. I just have a few questions...
2One: How would you describe Trinumi?
3Two: How was he recruited into the Order?
4Three: Is the place that the MoMN is in supposed to be like an abondond fortress island or is it something else?
5Four: I heard that there was supposed to be a battle that was supposed to take place in Metru Nui, but wouldn't it be too risky for the Brotherhood to mount an attack on the island with Turaga Vakama just waiting to destroy the MoT?
6- Toa Deserok
71) There are pics of him online, he's a combo model 82) We haven't told that story, so no idea 93) I can't discuss this 104) Not sure where you heard that, TD, I haven't said it.

1i have a question about this topic. is this supposed to be jsut sharing tidbits we got from greg or disscussing things greg said?
1Both. You share your answers from Greg, and you are allowed to comment on other peoples answers, but when it threatens to turn into a full fledged debate, there are official topics to put it in.
1ok. i jsut noticed very few people were disscussing stuff about what people thought of what greg said not talking about wtuff they found out from greg. i don't like it when people go off topic and i try to get them back on topic (hint hint proto drop people . )
)1But older fans could have been from the Slizer Era (like me) and are therefore excited to see jungle again.
2yES . . . Very much so . I, for one, am positively thrilled to see that the presence of jungle is returned. I also like the general feel of this upcoming year VERY much like 2001. The battle game sounds neat, too-another aspect of 01 that Bionicle has lacked for a time. Disk launchers were about the last sport-type thing we saw until now...
3Actually, let's face the facts:
4*Bionicle has been made overly simple; six tribes again, and the small characters are just for an "impulse buy"
5*The new game is a shootout game that "encourages social play"
6*There will be twice as many "young readers'" books as chapter books
7New Bionicle is designed for little children.
1Sigh... Attempt to disprove the MU = Mata Nui theory failed... He didn't even really answer my question though...
6I asked him again whether or not he could answer it, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.
7Here's something to think about though: If Mata Nui was the MU, don't you find it strange that Metru Nui was constructed in almost exactly the same shape as the island Mata Nui would one day be (given he was standing before, and fell into the Endless Ocean)?
2I'm hoping you should be able to answer this, since I'm sure it has been before, and if it hasn't I might be remembering something similar. If you can't answer it, that's OK.
3When was Mata-Nui (Being) created in relation to the Matoran Universe being created? Before, after, or around the same time?
4Thanks in advance .
5Well, he did not first awaken until after the universe already existed

3I did, it was shorter then I expected it to be though.
4Well, were gonna get a few more.
5Yeah it was a little short for a the wait and anticipation . But still cool, plus it was leading up to this and now we know what to expect of the others . I think the next one will be longer .

6And one more: 7Does Mata Nui and Metru Nui having the same shape have any storyline significance?
81) 100,000 years ago 92) Yes
10Haha . Unless Greg mistook my question for when he was created for when he woke up, I have disproved the MU = Mata Nui theory. To quote BS01:
11100,000+ Years Ago
12* The Great Beings begin creation of Matoran universe.
13Number 2 is sort of interesting though.

1Hi, in light of the recent release of the Watchmen movie trailer at The Dark Knight, I purchased the graphic novel Watchmen. I read it in a very short amount of time because i thought it was really good. If you have read the book, or comics and you liked it i want to ask a few questions relating to the ending. If you haven't read it and you want to i don't want to spoil the ending so i'll put the questions in a spoiler tag.
21) At the end when the huge creature is teleported to New York City everything in its place in the area it arrives is displaced and everything around it explodes and the creature itself dies. If a Makuta, say Krika becomes intangible and becomes tangible in an opponent would it act the same way?
32) If yes then would Krika or another Makuta die, or because they are made of energy they do not have molecules so they won't die?
43) If Krika or another Makuta doesn't die will their armor desintegrate or be damaged.
5(this also applies to someone wearing the mask of Quick Travel, or Botar.)
64) Can you wait for the movie because i can't?
7Thanks in advance.
8I read the book years ago, hated the ending, so may or may not go see the movie.
91) It would work the same way that the Vision's powers work in the Avengers. If he turns intangible and goes the slightest bit tangible, he disrupts the substance of the other being. 102) They would die, yes
11The ending was a big let down, but the book itself was great, not including the ending. That'd be cool if a makuta sacraficed itself in order to do damage to the enemy.
1The ending was a big let down, but the book itself was great, not including the ending. That'd be cool if a makuta sacraficed itself in order to do damage to the enemy.
2The only Makuta that I could see ever doing that is Krika, who seems to have a softer side that other Makuta lack. The Makuta curse doesn't seem to apply as much to him as the others.
1Some info I just got back from Greg.
14I feel kinda stupid about the Skakdi warlord ones now. ¬_¬
15Aqua I
2I'm sorry to bother you again, especially on the same subject as before, but I didn't think of these questions untill after I had sent the last lot.
31a) Was Jerbraz invisible prior to collecting information for the atlas? 41b) If yes, did Jerbraz collect the information for the atlas before or after hiring Mazeka? 52a) Is Nektann one of Skakdi leaders who told the stories of Irnakk? 62b) I don't know if you've been following the S&T contest, but one of the winners has now been decided. It's called The Devastator. Is the Skakdi warlord who ordered it Nektann, knowing his past involving Xian weapons? 72c) If not, is this warlord one of Skakdi leaders who told stories of Irnakk?
8
91A) Yes 101b) After -- the Atlas is relatively new and up to date information. Mazeka was hired five years ago. 112a) He might have been, it's a very popular legend on Zakaz 122b) Does it say it was him in the entry? There are a lot of warlords. 132c) See answer to 2a -- a lot of people, warlords and not, tell that story. It's like a campfire ghost tale.
14I feel kinda stupid about the Skakdi warlord ones now. ¬_¬

1Hello again Greg.
2Just some questions,
31)Can sidorak's species change their body color?
42)What element would you consider Nektann?
53)Is the new CGI movie canon?
64)Do you like answering questions on BZP?
7Thanks again for your time answering these questions.
81) No 92) Haven't thought about it 103) All CGI movies on BIONICLE.com are canon 114) If I didn't, would I be here?
12Meh, just some stuff.

15Note how Greg said when Mata Nui was created, or finished, as opposed to the BS01 entry that same when the great beings begin the creation of Mata Nui. This still fits perfectly well into the MN=MU theory, because the creation of Mata Nui took a long time (up until he was awoken).
1Hi Greg, I just saw the new minimovie in which the Nuva reach the Codrex and insert the keystone into it. This keystone, however, looks a lot different that the comic one, so is it possible for you to say which one is canon?
2Comic :

6Thanks in advance.
7My info was that the keystones would fit into the image of a humanoid on the Codrex, so that is what I went with. In a pinch, give the edge to the web content.

14well that settles that I hope...
15... so you guys are saying that since Greg said that Mata Nui was created 100,000 years ago and the MU was created 100,000+ years ago, that disproves the theory? Do you really think Mata Nui was created EXACTLY 100,000 years ago? I'm pretty sure that in both cases, the real number is ~100,000 (approximately 100k) years ago. In which case it heavily supports the theory, not disproves it. Anti-MN=MU members seem to be grasping for straws
16BTW where is the new video? 17Edit: Thanks, I found it.

2What we don't know is how long it took to create him. For all we know, he could have been brought into being almost instantly. Also, the BS01 entry doesn't say when Mata Nui was finished or started being made, only when he was awakened. I'm still open that MN might = MU, but given the facts, it's not entirely impossible that MN =/= MU.

18Well of course the MU and MN were made at nearly the same time... they need each other to live. (Well, Sorta) As we know, Tren Krom took over the MU while MN was being created. Of course this doesn't naturaully disprove the theory Mata Nui is the MU, but it certainly makes it uncertain. MN is not the MU, because a picture of MN will be in the November Brickmaster, but a picture of the MU will only be in the Polish Guidebook. If they're the same, Greg could have easily said that Mata Nui was in the Polish Guidebook, or even that The MU was in the November Brickmaster. For that matter, why even tell us that the Matoran Universe Picture will only be in the Polish Guidebook? Greg doesn't lie very often, and definately not something as big as this. He has answered questions like "Will there be a map of the MU anywhere else besides the Polish Guidebook?" and all of their answers have been no. He didn't even say Can't Answer it, he just said No. Again, Greg wouldn't lie about something this big.

2There is a difference between a map of a person's insides, and a picture of a person. Greg didn't say that Mata nui wasn't in the polish guide book (it probably is as well), but he was only telling us about the map of the islands and continents that would be there. The Brickmaster is showing Mata-nui from the outside, so not a map of the MU.
3Plus, Greg doesn't usually lie, but he frequently avoids the question.

4So what, besides Mata Nui, none of the other domes stick out. He has said numerous times that the island of Mata Nui is the only object in the endless ocean. So only his face is showing? Mata Nui is not 1,000,000 feet across. If it did show him from above, it would only show that island, and it wouldn't actualy be Mata Nui. Either it wold show the entire MU as Mata Nui, or just the island of Mata Nui. If the former, then my post above dictates, if the latter, it wouldn't only show the island of Mata Nui. If it shows it without the water, revealing the other domes, that could work. Although I very much doubt he is just a blob of protodermis (Which in reality is what all the domes would look like together)
