1I assume that was a Board Message accident.
8Now for the Mutran Chronicles. 91.Will/does the map Mutran found have any current storyline importance? 102.How big was Mutran's "Pet Rock" when he forgot it on Xia? 113.Does Mutran have a personal oppinion of Gorast? 124.Will we find out where Mutran found Vican,or is that not a nesscacry part to his story?
13finally,The Dark Mirror. 141.What has become of the Brotherhood in the Toa Kingdom?When it said that the statues of Tahu,Gali and the rest of the Nuva were not in their Nuva forms,what forms were they in? 151a.Their adaptive armor froms? 162.Will Nidhiki make an apperance? 172a.If so,do you know which chapter?
18That's it.Thanks in advance.
191) No. I write the chapters as I go, I don't outline what happens when. 202) Spiriah has no reason to want to avoid Miserix. He wants revenge on the Skakdi. 213) No, that gets revealed in one of the books 224) Because Spiriah is a good actor
231) Not current, future 242) Oh, small enough to fit in your hand 253) Mutran has a personal opinion of pretty much everyone 264) It's possible, I haven't decided yet
271) They were in their Toa Mata forms, because they never became Nuva in this universe. And the BOM is scattered. 282) Don't know yet
291.Oh well. 302.For some reason I was thinking he was trying to avoid Miserex as well. 313.Either Miserex will appear in one of the books,or we will learn from MoMN. 324.That's what I figured.
331.Now that's VERY interesting.When he says "future",does he mean 2009,or summer '08? 342.Ever since I read that chapter,I was wondering how big it started out as. 353.Considering we're talking about Mutran here,I guess he would have an oppinion about everybody. 364.I think it would be cool if we found out where he came from.
371.That explains why he didn't recognize them.He was first around when they were the Nuva. 382.I'm hoping we will.
39He recognized them, and yes, takua/takanuva was around when they were mata.
40By the sound of this statement, it would seem that since Av-Matoran are larger than other Matoran, when they become a Toa, they would be larger Toa as well. But at this point, Takanuva is the same size as any other Toa. Maybe titan Takanuva is his true size, and he is currently smaller than a normal ToL because of the power and size decrease he received as a Matoran from MoMN?
41That makes sense, but av-matoran don't look titan sized compared to their fellow matoran, so i doubt it.
1Does anyone know what the Tren Krom is?
1But we know nothing about the Peninsula one.
1Never mind. I re-read it and realised that it said, named after.
11.Is Takanuva's new form his real size(the larger form) 22. How far is the Swamp from the Core? 33. Do the Av-matoran knows about Takua? 44.Takua real form is the Av matoran sets from right? 5If so How did he get smaller? 6If yes to the previous question , Is his Toa smaller then it should be? 7If his Toa form is smaller then is his "Titan" form his originial size?
81) It's his 2008 size 92) It's part of the core - all of Karda Nui is the core 103) Yes 114) Av-Matoran are the size they are because of being in the core for 1000 years. Takua never spent that much time in Karda Nui
12Guess he did change sizes.
1Woah, the Av-Matoran know Takua/Takanuva? 
Must have been missed during the Time Slip.
Must have been missed during the Time Slip.1I got some stuff, but not much
2Evening Mr. Farshety (or at least it's night where I am), 3I just have a few questions for you.
41. Was the Makuta who knocked out Krekka's eye a Mistika? 5b.Was it Krika?
62. Can Krika's mask fit on a metru head?
73. Is Mazeka a Shadow Matoran?
84. Since the Matoran word for gravity is Garai, would a Matoran of Gravity be a Gar-Matoran? 9b. Ai-Matoran?
105. Who spared Miserix? 11b. Was it Bitil? 12c. Gorast?
136. Is Krakua in the Fikou Web?
147. Was Vultraz a Ta-Matoran?
158. Is Nynrah Ghost Blaster official?
169. Will the late Makuta of Artahka get a name?
1710. Is Miserix the BM exclusive?
1811. Is the Makuta that Conjurer used his powers against a Mistika? 19b. Was it Gorast? 20c. Krika?
21Thank you, 22Toa Domrisc of Ice
231) Gets revealed later 242) No idea, I don't have the set 253) No 264) I haven't bothered to worry about this, since there are none in the story 275) See answer to #1 286) No 297) Yes 308) Yes 319) I doubt it. I can't see using a $10,000 name for a character who is never going to appear anywhere. 3210) No. The BM exclusive sets are roughly $6 sets, not something big enough to be a Makuta set. The BM exclusive is a Rahi. 3311) No reason to believe it is one of these Makuta.
1Just a few questions that bug me quite a lot.
21) What masks did the BOM members wear while they were good? I doubt they wore the mask of shadows during their time serving Mata Nui.
32)What happens if the Toa Phantoka's mask didnt have visors? Would this affect anything?
4Thanks for your time
5-Zurich-
61) No, same masks. Shadow was not considered an evil element before they rebelled. 72) Would make it harder to see at high speeds.
8So shadow wasnt an evil element back then...fascinating.
9-Zurich-
1Eh? So Av-Matoran get bigger the longer they spend in the core? Weird...
1Here are some questions I thought really interesting and that made me think. Particular attention to the bolded ones:
2Hi Greg, hope you enjoyed your trip to Europe, do anything besides work? (See sites, vistit relatives etc.) 3If you don't mind, I have some questions that have been bugging me...
41)Do both the Makuta and Toa both have Gnyrah ghost blasters? 51a)If so, why?
61) Yes, and keep in mind that the Toa's weapons are adaptive -- they can change what they are.
72)Are the Mistika Makuta trying not to kill the Toa Nuva also?
82) You'll find out in summer
93)Is the reason the swamp water giving off light and heat because the mutagen at one point was energy?
103) No. Has nothing to do with the mutagen, which gives off neither light nor heat
115)Can armor be mutated by pit mutagen? 125a)How about antidermis?
135) Yes and yes
146)Is there actually something about the swamp that makes it a "Swamp of Secrets", or is that just a name?
156) Yes, there is more than one thing
167)Were the vehicles made by Artakhah?
177) Yes
188)Is it possible their may be more than just Rahi, Toa, makuta, matoran, or any sets in the summer in the swamp?HINT,HINT:ghosts?
198) No. People are taking "ghost" very literally -- but when we refer to "ghost soldiers," we aren't talking about the spirits of dead soldiers, we are talking about people who were so stealthy you couldn't tell they were there. And the "ghost" in the name refers to the craftsmen who made the weapons, not what the weapon does.
209)How do the Toa Mistika get around without falling in the swamp mutagen?
219) Again, summer storyline
2210)In a fictional game Kingdom Hearts, there is a castle called Castle Oblivion. The higher up the staircase you go, the more memories you lose, although you recover lost memories. Is the Swamp like this in any way at all?
2310) No
245)Well, that personally makes me think the Makuta are for sure mutated.
258)So, no ghosts, just a guy named ghost created the Gnyrah Ghost blasters.

1So Artahka made the T- series. Man, he has way too much time on his hands, along with his craftors.
1Good day, Greg.
2I found out who the female Makuta is . Warning: Spoilers ahead.
6-TNTOS-
7Now, this post shocked me. Especially the "Tren Krom peninsula" part. Now, of course I will not ask you what this is, but can you confirm that this plase has nothing to do with the Tren Krom break in Ta-Wahi? As always, I understand if you can't.
8Thanks.
9Only in that Tren Krom break was named after the Tren Krom peninsula, but they are obviously not the same place.
10~Doctor . Doctor .
1Hey guys, is it gnyrah or nynrah? 2And i found out somewhere that Vultraz is a former ta-matoran and now shadow matoran, but i can't put it BS01.
3I'm sure its Nynrah, and we've known of Vultraz, that he was Ta and now Shadow, Greg confirmed it a few days ago, and those summer pages are locked for good reason.
1first of all 2thanks for your time
31)how did the turaga knew about btrem krom breakpeninsula, after all they named the river
42)what kind of material can the makuta absorbto get more mass imean can they absorb rocks, other things or only other beings
51) Metru Nui was a major trading port before the events of Legends of Metru Nui. Sailors from all over the universe came there, so the Turaga (who were Matoran at the time) heard about all sorts of different places. 62) They absorb living beings, not inanimate objects.
7hope is useful

1Hi Greg . I just wanted to ask a few questions thats bothering me.
21. If shadow wasn't a bad element until the Makuta became evil, why are the new shadow matoran evil? Shouldn't they be naturally good since shadow is naturally a good element?
32. For the Red Star to the Inika into toa, is there toa energy in the lightning?
43. I have recently read in the OGD that there are beings in the swamp that move stealthly. Can they do this because of a mask power? Or is it a natural ability? 53a. Are these beings mutated?
64. Does Miserix know the BoM's weakness? 74a. If he does, is the weakness the BoM curse? 84b. What is this curse about?
95. If the MoMN never knew Mata Nui's location, how could he have gotten the virus to attack him?
106. Will the Blade Burrower's map be essential to 2009's plot? Or does the map have to do with this year? 116a. Do the Blade Burrowers dig the same map over and over again, or are they doing one giant map? 126b. Since Mutran made it so that the Blade Burrowers would die in 3 weeks, and they didn't, did Mata Nui, in some way, made it so that they could live longer for the purpose of mapping out his location? So that in case of an emergency, a smart being would realize what the Blade Burrower's tunnels were for?
137. When Mata Nui was awake, did he stay in one location while doing whatever he does for the universe? 147a. If he did, I assume that this place is the place he is sleeping?
158. Are some elements of the serials "setting the stage" for 2009? (Sundial, Blade Burrower's Map, etc.)
169. How did Vakama know that Matoro really died and not just stuck back in the pit?
1710. Why aren't the Mistika Makuta outfitted with Tridax Pods? 1810a. Are they being punished for some unknown reason? This would explain why they can't shapeshift.
1911. Is Krakua under the Archives looking for something, or getting ready to take down Dweller? (If Krakua took down Dweller before Takanuva got leeched, this would explain why Dweller didn't know about it.)
20Thanks in advance . 21-}Kaihiru{-
221) But shadow Matoran have no light in them at all -- and without any light, you can only be evil. 232) What was in the lightning was something that could trigger the latent Toa energy already in the Matoran. 243) No, you misunderstood what my answer was. Someone asked me about the ghost blasters and whether that meant there were ghosts in the swamp -- and my answer was that you cannot always take the word ghost literally, that in our culture we have "ghost soldiers" who are called that because of their skill at stealth. I was not referring to beings living in the swamp. 254) The BOM's weakness is light, that's not a secret. 265) Well, let's say I want to attack you, but don't know where on Earth you are -- if I unleash something that affects the entire Earth, I'm sure to hit you, right? In this case, Makuta knew what kind of energies Mata Nui tapped into and just had to infect those energies. 276) It does involve future storyline, but not 2009 286a) Same map over and over 296b) No. Mutran's intent was that the BBs woud die in three days, but he simply screwed up and made them stronger than he had planned to. 307) I can't discuss this 318) No, not really. Sundial, for example, has nothing at all to do with 2009. We won't even be in the Matoran universe in 2009 329) Vakama has visions, remember? 3310) Because we didn't want to give two sets of sets the exact same functionality 3410a) No 3511) Krakua is not in the Archives.
361. Does that mean that Makuta slowly lost their light over time? 372. I see. 383. So the Makuta move stealthly? 394. Oh yeah. Forgot about that. 405. Hmm... 416. Aw crud. I thought I was onto something. 427. Meh. Figures. 438. Oh. 449. He had one of Matoro dieing? Wow. 4510. I meant storyline reason, but that works too. They weren't punished? 4611. I meant under the Archives, but yeah. 47-}Kaihiru{-
1Some very interesting things on future story and web serials.
2Hi Greg 3Nice job with Mutran Chronicles 3 - before that, I wasn't interested in the "Blade Burrower myth", but now I'm more than just a little curious.
41) Since Gorast conquered the Visorak and rules the Tren Krom Peninsula, is it possible that the Visorak homeland and the peninsula are one and the same place? 52) When I asked you during which time Krakua became a Toa, you answered it was during Bionicle Legends#7. But this is entirely impossible if you consider that Lesovikk came to the Pit even before book seven - he rescues Sarda after Pridak threw him into the open water in Bionicle Legends#6 - and claimed to have met a Toa named Krakua. So when did Krakua become a Toa then? 63) Does Krakua know of the OoMN or is he like the FoF or Umbra - he works for them, but has no real idea for whom he works? 74) Is Toa Ignika's Midak Skyblaster also adaptive? Spiriah's? 85) Who located Spiriah? 96) Will the island where Miserix is held captive be named? 107) How was Spiriah able to deduce the FoF's goals? If I remember correctly, all Makuta except Krika believed Miserix to be dead, since he disobeyed MoMN and didn't kill Miserix when he was ordered to. So Spiriah shouldn't have known of Miserix's survival, let alone where he was held captive. And he also couldn't have read it in Brutaka's mind, since it is protected from such things. 118) Does anyone inside the Matoran Universe know the meaning of the Blade Burrower map? 128a) Someone we know? 139) Will the giant OoMN member from Gali Nuva Blog 9 be named? 1410) Ever thought of having Jerry Brazeal, Toby Dutkiewitz and John McCormack draw their "OoMN alter egos" so you would be able to use them in the story without risking to use something they wouldn't like? 1511) In "our" Matoran Universe, did Tuyet's rebellion also take place 3,500 years ago? 1612) When did Tuyet become a Toa? 1712) Did Lesovikk fight in the war against the Barraki? 1813) Was the Barraki fortress Gorast and Mutran explored the same one where the League was defeated (you know, the one from Bionicle Legends#6). 1914) Would the Piraka recognize Spiriah (provided he was in a shape they knew) or did they never see him? 2015) If so, why didn't Vezon recognize him, since he has got all the memories of Vezok? 2116) How many Makuta from the contest will be made official?
22Thanks for answering 23NtM
241) Time will tell 252) Like you said, had to be before Lesovikk comes to the Pit. And don't forget, 7 takes place like 30 seconds after 6 ends. 263) Gets revealed later on 274) Ignika's is not, no, Spiriah's is. 285) OOMN 296) I don't know yet, probably 307) Wrong. Spiriah knew Miserix was alive -- remember, Brutaka says early on that Spiriah is their map to where they are going. So obviously he had to know where Miserix was. 318) No 329) Don't know yet 3310) They wouldn't show up in comics anyway, they aren't sets, so no point. 3411) Yes 3512) No 3613) No. 3714) Yes, they would recognize him 3815) Because Vezon is a nutcase. Insane people don't have wonderful memory clarity. 3916) Only the grand prize winner
40That brings up more questions
41Regarding 5) Which OoMN member? 42Regarding 7) - a) So Spiriah was involved in hiding Miserix? And how did the Order find that out? 43I looked through whole FoF and Brutaka nowhere says that, so again the question: How did Spiriah find out? (Sorry to be this annoying ^^) 44Regarding 8) So is it safe to assume that the Blade Burrower map will be important for next year, since that year will take place outside of the Matoran Universe? 45Regarding 9) Did you invent him "just for fun" or will he have further significance? 46Regarding 16) So the winner will be Miserix?
47Thanks in advance, 48NtM
495) Why assume it was just one? 507) Order knows a lot of things, that's their business. 517b) He said it, you just weren't around at the time. 528) It is safe to assume it has something to do with future story, but not necessarily 2009 -- we are planned out a lot farther than that 539) I invented him because I needed him for that scene 5416) I haven't said anything about the contest having a connection to Miserix. That is the assumption people are making, but nothing has been confirmed by me yet.
1QUOTE 2Hello Greg, I Hope I am not intruding, because the Wintery Weather, and Cleanup But I have Some Questions,
31) Will a Mata Nui set appear in 2009, Most likely, right? 42) Is Macku, Onepu, Tamura (spelling?), Hafu, and Kapura Be Re-Released or Appear In Storyline again? 53) any Updates on Bionicle 4? 64) Is Miserix Good? 75) Is Miserix a Summer Mistika Combiner Model, If not what is he released by? 86) Do Toa, Matoran, and Turaga Vary in Weight, meaning can some have more Body Fat than others? 97) What Is happening on Voya Nui Now? 108) Can you better explain how Voya Nui Sank, And the whole Matoro Death Detail? 119) Could A Powerful Toa ( Extremely) Be possible Without A Nui Stone or Katia? 1210) are Macku, Onepu, Tamura (spelling?), Hafu, and Kapura Toa, Or Going to be Toa? 1311) What would A black and white colored Toa Be? 1412) How is Karzahni?
151) Why would that be likely, Lehua? We aren't even in the Matoran universe in 2009. 162) No plans to re-release them, no, and as I said, we aren't in the universe next year, so they won't be characters in story. 173) Nope 184) Too early to discuss this 195) I can talk about this in a week or so. 206) No, but some have more armor than others, which can affect weight. We don't know that any of these characters have any body fat, just muscle tissue. 217) Not much. 228) What do you need explained? Be specific. 239) No. Nuva is as powerful as a Toa gets without artificial aid. 2410) No and no plans for that. 2511) No idea, one doesn't exist. 2612) Nuts.

5Yep. The contest winner will be named as Miserix. Remember, oh contest winner, should you make a model too complex to sprite in DBB, I will get you...
6Well, let's just hope it's not just a Phankuta with a Kraahkan.
25) Is Miserix a Summer Mistika Combiner Model, If not what is he released by?
35) I can talk about this in a week or so.
4A week? That's the deadline for the Makuta Building Contest. Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

7Amen to that. Contest winners have been chosen well in the past, though. The Tahtorak, Piraka Fusion and Krakua are all good models, as well as about 70% of the Dark Hunter and Rahi guides. I'd MUCH rather have Miserix be the contest winner than a combiner model.

1Wait, the Makuta building contest has already started? .? .
1yeah, for months. since mid January. er, a month.
1And the contest ends on the first of March, in the Year of our Lord, (A.D.) 2008 . Or as the magazine puts it, March 1, 2008... 2Also, where the Karzahni did everyone get the theory that Miserax is the winning entry in the BoM contest? that would be like ... 
dazed: 
I cant even word it .

Captain raven575
dazed: I cant even word it . 3
Captain raven575 1because of the fact that he won't be available in stores, there's a makuta contest, and now that he can't discuss his stuff until next week, when all things are probably decided.
1It's possible, but I hope not. What exactly are the parameters of the contest? Does the creation require a name, or is it just build a Makuta?
1no idea, as someone with brickmaster. and this off topicness should go elsewhere now.
1It's not off topic. This thread is for the answers and discussion of said answers from GregF. We are speculating on the known facts in conjunction with recent answers given. This thread sounds like the perfect place to do that.
