8Actually, he has, in fact, confirmed that Teridax will not be appearing in the 2009-2010 story. He hasn't said that Takanuva won't be in 2009 and onward, however.

1Hey, Greg. Hope you're doing well.
2There's a little problem with one of the Xian Weapons contest winners, the Griffin Gauntlet, that has been canonized. Here's the BSO1 description:

3After the Great Disruption, Miserix came across a prophecy which predicted a faction probably as powerful as the Brotherhood of Makuta. To keep the other Makuta from focusing on the probable battle, Miserix kept the prophecy secret and designed a weapon which he kept inside Knowledge Crystals, and asked Toa Hagah Gaaki to take to Xia to be manufactured in return for ten vials of Energized Protodermis. The manufacturing of the weapon, however, was postponed after Miserix was overthrown by Teridax shortly afterwards.
4Tens of thousands of years later, Gaaki discovered a laboratory in a ruined factory on Xia, and found herself where she had been sent to by Miserix so long ago. The Toa, who had just fought against the Tahtorak and Kanohi Dragon, along with her comrades, discovered ten sets of gaunlets with blue talons.
5Iruini later found the initial plans for the weapon, and was astonished when he found the tool can be used to fight against as powerful a foe as a Makuta.

6As you can see, this seems to hint at an appearance of these weapons in DID, and you've said that you don't plan on using any of the Xian weapons winners in story. So do you think this needs to be changed, or are you going to use it in DID anyway?
7Thanks for your time,
8-Krika-

9It's impossible for this to happen in DID, since the Hagah have left Xia by the time of Destiny War Part 3 and obviously do not have any gauntlets. I looked these things over mainly for the weapons, how they worked, and how they were made, and as far as I am concerned, that's the part that's canon.

21. You said that Mata Nui sets the destiny of the creatures he creates. Did the Great Beings do the same for what they made? 3Yes
42. Sooooo...the Hagah need to destroy the Coliseum. I remember that while Mata Nui was dying, mysterious cracks kept forming in the ground around it, and then stopped once he was healed. Any connection? 5Nope
63. Is Vezon's insanity the type that he just has different beliefs that, once you figure them out, you can guess what he's going to do next, or is he just completely irrational? 7He's completely psychotic
84. How many Mana Ko are there? I mean, are they common enough to be employed at multiple bases, or are they like special shock troopers that the Makuta keep in reserve for emergencies? 9There aren't a ton of them.
105a. Do all Makuta masks have built-in 'alarm systems' like the Kraahkan? So that if a Toa manages to get a hold of, say, the Crast, it would automatically use its repulsion power against the Toa? 11No 125b. I know they would never want to, but do Matoran have capability of making copies of the Makuta masks? Could they create a Jutlin from Kanoka, or are those special masks that only Artakha can make? 13Really depends on the liquid proto and the purification process. The Matoran don't set out to make certain masks so much as work with the powers of the proto.
146a. The Artakha Bull that is guarding the universe map under Metru Nui: I'm not sure if this has been confirmed or not, so was it actually sent to guard it? 15No, I think it more adopted that as its territory. 166b. If so, was it by a power or group that we've heard of?
176c. If not, when will we learn of them?

187. You say the Matoran universe is on the map. Is it directly represented by one of the shapes? Such as, the central circle is the universe? Or is it on the map in the same way that France is part of a model of the solar system? 19Actually, I don't recall ever saying that.
208. Are you guys basing you new 'naming scheme' for 2009-on off of any kind of Earth cultural system? Or have you just made up some new rules for the names? 21We are going for a more Greco-Roman feel
229. Did Helryx receive a power upgrade when she was made leader of the Order, or is she just really, really good at using her abilities? 'Cause it seemed to me that she was throwing a lot of power around during her confrontation with the Dark Hunters. 23She's been an active Toa for a long time, so of course she has a lot of experience using her power.
2410. What happened to Lariska? Is she on her way back to Odina or did the Order detain her? 25She will be popping up again soon.

38 Master of the Rahkshi

11. Will Jeremy Brazeal be the artist for the 2009 reader books?
22. In MNOG, Teridax fought the Toa Mata in the form of a swirling mass of mechanical pieces (with an infected Hau in the middle of the mass as his "face") with black tentacles. How did Teridax make that form? Did he perhaps use his magnetism power for the mechanical pieces?
33. (DM question) Did the Toa Empire ever find the Ignika?
44. Wouldn't the Mask of Possibilities be considered a "dark mask" because it could increase the chance of someone getting killed?
55. What do the Toa Nuva think happened to their canisters?
66. Did the Great Beings know the Toa Mata were going to turn into the Toa Nuva?
77. Was Necrofinch a name on your approved list?
88. What did the Matoran think happened to Miserix?
99. Where does the signal that awakens the Bahrag come from?
1010. So, this is the correct order for the 2009 stuff, right?
11January Comic - March Comic - First Chapter Book - July Comic - 2009 Movie
1210a. I know you said the July comic will be the prequel to the movie, but will it be featuring winter or summer sets? 1310b. Will the September and November comic be telling stories happening during the movie, or after? 1410c. The second chapter book is going to be a novelization of the movie, right? 1510d. When does the first reader book take place?
1611. You confirmed that Teridax won't be appearing in 2009-2010 main story. But you didn't say anything about side story, right?
17Thanks Greg .

181) At least one of them 192) Not something I have worried about, since I had nothing to do with MNOG 203) No 214) No. A Mask of Gravity could be used to kill someone too, so could a Mask of Speed, so could a lot of masks. 225) What do you mean? They took their canisters to Mata Nui, and outside of Gali, they haven't been back there since they went to Metru Nui 236) Unknown 247) Yes 258) They really didn't care. He was on Destral a good part of the time, so they didn't notice his absence 269) Can't answer it 2710) Don't forget September and November comic 2810b) Don't know yet 2910c) Don't know that yet either, depends on what Scholastic wants 3010d) During first half of the year story 3111) No, I didn't talk about side story

Cyberstrike Sep 15, 2008, 10:25 AM

1Wait a second- The Toa Nuva didn't take their canisters to Metru Nui. They were stolen by the Piraka and taken to Voya Nui and destroyed in the Descent, right?

2Hello, Mr. Farshtey, how are you today (or tonight, depends on when you're reading this )? How has the move to the house been going? Hope it's going well. These are some questions that I hope will make it to the wiki's this time.
31) Where any of the Matoran on Voya Nui and/or Mahri Nui native to the Trem Krom Penninsula? 41b) Any of the Matoran Resistance Members?
52) Are Jerbraz, Tobduk, and Johmak members of the same species?
63) Would a Zyglak be willing to join the DH? 73b) Are there any current members that are Zyglak? 83c) Same with the Frostelus.
94) Can Makuta shapeshift into inatimate objects?
105) Was/is there a Makuta of Keetongu's homeland? 115b) Krahka's?
126) Could a Matoran rebuild him/herself to be the size of a Toa? 136b) What's the limit to the size a Matoran can rebuild himself to?
14Thank you for your time.
15-makuta of xhini nui-

161) No 171b) No 182) Doubt it 193) No 203a) No 213b) Doubtful 224) I suppose 235) Yes, I am sure there was a Makuta who oversaw those regions 246) No. Their muscle tissue would not be able to support mechanical parts that much bigger 256b) I don't have this stat

1Hey GregF --
2I hope you are doing well, and if you wouldn't mind, could you answer some questions from me? Also, I want to say that you did a great job with Bionicle Legends 10: Swamp of Secrets and your work on the three serials.
31. Do you mind if I add you to my friends list? It's just for convenience. 41a. How often do you get notified through PM that someone added you as a friend?
52. In Bionicle Legends 10, in several instances, Gali caught Gorast's head in a sphere of water and cut off her air. I thought Makuta didn't breathe air, or did their mutation change that?
63. When the Toa use their Nynrah Ghost Blasters, do they have to maintain concentration in order to keep the object they created there, or is it "fire and forget"? 73a. If it's "fire and forget", does the energy object wear away eventually?
84. Can a Toa use their Nynrah Ghost Blasters (NG, can they create hand-held weapons out of them? 94a. Actual bullet like projectiles? 10-- If so to both or either one of them, can the energy penetrate Makuta Armor?
115. I was reading Aanchir's discussion with you regarding Gali and Onua's weapons, and you replied since they didn't have any on the sets, they don't have melee weapons. What do you mean by that exactly? 125a. Is it reasonable to guess that for some reason, the adaptive armor decided to give Gali and Onua weaponry attachments ( Gali has crosshairs and Onua has a fancy "grip" for the NGB ) instead of actual melee weapons?
136. Last year, I remember reading that you replied no or something similar to that when members asked you if the Ignika could revive Mata Nui. Did the no refer to the Ignika reviving Mata Nui single-handlely and not with its powers combined with the spirit and life of a single Toa?
147. How would Antroz feel if he thought about how badly the Makuta were faring physically. The Phantoka ones are blinded with Icarax in excruciating pain and unable to fight as effectively as before and the Mistika are locked into their forms, need energy, and lost many of their powers.
158. Do the Mistika Makuta have more or less of their Rahkshi powers remaining? 168a. Do they all share the same ones that are remaining and missing? Meaning, do they all have the same powers left? 178b. If the Mistika only have a few powers left can you please list them whenever you have time? It would be nice for people like me, because if I role-play with my sets, it'd be kind of annoying that I don't know what powers they have left.
189. I remember you saying that the Phantoka Makuta don't have any vision powers left, is that true? 199a. How come Antroz fired beams of energy from his eyes in Shadows in the Sky at the Toa Nuva while they were on the top of the Karda Nui caves? 209b. Is it possible that they still have their vision powers left, but they can't use them effectively for obvious reasons.
2110. When Vamprah flew through the falls in Karda Nui, how come the water didn't hit and/or mutate him?
2211. How come the Toa Nuva didn't get mutated when they walked on the mud of the swamp? Mud has swamp water in it and swamp water has mutagen in it.
23That's all the questions I have for now, and I promise that I won't post them until July 15th.
24Thanks, 25~SB~

261) Go ahead 272) For Gorast, yes 283) They do have to maintain concentration, its form is dictated by their will 294) I don't understand your question 305) I meant since the sets don't have melee weapons, the characters in story don't either. 315a) No, because the armor didn't "give" the others melee weapons either. The weapon is a separate object. 326) Yes. The Ignika could not do it on its own. 337) Not sure I get your question ... Antroz is one of the ones whose blinded, so he already knows about it. 348) They are missing some powers, such as shapeshifting. I have not made a list of what they have and what they don't because I don't need one. 359) Just a mistake on my part in story 3610) He wasn't exposed to it for that long 3711) Because the soil dilutes it to the point where the effect is so weak it doesn't cause mutation.

38Just a few responses and clarifications...

392. Am I correct? Gorast is basically antidermis that is dependent on air.
404. Sorry, if I wasn't clear enough. I meant that could a Toa create melee weapons out of the energy of the NGB? 414a. I meant, could they create "bullets" out of the NGB's energy? 424b. If yes to any of the above two, can the energy penetrate Makuta armor, or isn't it strong enough?
437. I meant if Antroz or the others took the time and thought about the bad luck they were having physically, how would they feel?
4410. I remember you saying that if you're exposed to mutagen then you're instantly exposed or am I wrong / author's license?
45Thanks for answering my questions,
46~SB~

472) Yes 484) Yes 494a) I would say no 504b) I do not believe it is strong enough to penetrate protosteel 517) Irrelevant, since they are not going to have that time. 5210) No -- think of it -- name another character who was mutated who was not exposed for s substantial amount of time. Even the Piraka were wading it in for a good few minutes. Vamprah was literally under the falls for a split second. I think you may be confusing mutagen with energized protodermis, which will affect you that fast

2hi, Greg, I was wondering about a few things:
31. were the piraka's weapons created on Xia? 41b. what about roodaka's and sidorak's?
52.are the rahi in the swamp of secrets battle for power game canon as types of unnamed mutated rahi?
63. You have said you might not be giving the new book series a new title, and I think you should, seeing that we are starting a new chapter of bionicle and it might confuse the new fans that might catch on, plus it just wouldn't be right to go to a new universe, take the story in a different direction, but not change the old title. please tell me what you think.

71) Most likely, because the Piraka got their weapons when they were Dark Hunters. 82) I haven't played the game, so can't speak to it 93) It's not up to me, it's up to Scholastic

1Hey, I hope you're doing well, just a few questions regarding Ahkmou.
21) Since we know that he would have been in story as a Toa of Shadow, I'm curious to know what part of story he would have been in. Would he have been in the main Karda Nui story, or remain on Metru Nui, or in one of the serials?
32) Is it safe to assume that Icarax's Shadow Leech attack was meant for Ahkmou, but got Takanuva instead?
43) Last year, when Teridax was attempting to reconstruct the Nui Stone, was the intention for him to give it to Ahkmou in the event he had been leeched and become a Toa?
54) Would he have been given a completely new mask when he became a Toa? A Toa of Shadow with a Great Rau would be useless mask-wise to the Makuta, I think.

61) No idea, discussions did not get that far on the subject 72) Yes 83) No. 94) Again, no idea -- that would have been up to the set designers, not me

1Hello again. I have another quick question. If, for example, a Toa of Air had his light completely drained, he would become a Toa of Shadow. If this Toa had his psychic shield broken by a Klakk, he would regain his light, and return to being a Toa of Air, correct?
2Thanks, 3~~

4Correct

1Hi, here's some questions. 21. How do you pronounce Bomonga? 32. Does the Matatu work like the Crast, in that if a Matatu user pulled on an object larger than him would the object move or the user? 43. Does anyone besides Teridax and/or Zaktan know of Mata Nui's location? 54. Will Takadox make any web serial appearances? 65. Which was your favorite comic to write?
7Thanks for your time 8~

91) Bow-mahn-gah 102) Either the object moves or it doesn't 113) No 124) I don't know yet 135) Too many to pick one

14-------------------- 15"What a boring world it would be if we had answers for all our questions." -- Thomas Raith

17~

21. Is the 'power up' of the Jetrax exclusive to that vehicle? Or could the other vehicles theoretically receive similar boosts? 3Any of the vehicles could, under similar circumstances
42. I've been thinking about the Makuta and their weapons. This is not important, but just something I've been curious about: how do Makuta view their weapons? Do they have one set of weapons, and that's it, or do they just choose their weapons from some armory or another as the situation demands it, and develop preferences over time? Because it seems some Makuta switch weapons fairly regularly. 5Most Makuta have a cache of weapons
63. Was Vultraz mutated into his new form, or just rebuilt? 7Rebuilt
84. When exactly did Ancient get recruited by the Order? Was it soon after he and the Shadowed One formed the Dark Hunters? Closer to the Great Shadow? When? 9The former
105. I was reading about the Nui Stone on BS01 when a thought struck me. The article said that it worked by absorbing the Toa power from every Toa within 3000 kios, and that it took such small amounts of energy that the drain went unnoticed. Teridax planned to use it in current day if reconstructed. However, would it have worked? Since there are barely over fifty Toa left in the universe, would the stone have not been able to build up as much power as it would have in the past? Or would it have taken more energy from the existing Toa to reach its optimal charge? 11It would have taken longer to build a up a lot of energy, because of the smaller number of Toa extant
126. Will we ever learn where energized protodermis comes from? 13No idea at this point, depends on how long BIONICLE lasts
147a. Does energized protodermis have a direct connection to Mata Nui (being)? 15Such as what? 167b. Can he make it? 17I would say no
188. The explanation for the rapid plant growth on Mata Nui was a leak of energized protodermis, and that the leak was from 'pipes' underneath the island. What exactly were these pipes? Just something that Teridax had put into his lab? It doesn't sound like one of the random naturally formed sources of EP. 19No, had nothing to do with Teridax. They were pipes placed there by the GBs.
209. Was energized protodermis specifically placed in the locations where it has been found, or was its spread more random? 21In some places, yes, in some places, no
2210. Is Mata Nui actually hidden? Like, did he intentionally dwell in some place where people couldn't find him when he fell asleep? Or is his obscurity just a byproduct of his job of running the universe? Or just a coincidence? 23I would call it a byproduct of his running the universe

3Woah, that should go in the MN=MU theory for sure.

17a. Does energized protodermis have a direct connection to Mata Nui (being)? 2Such as what?

1Hello Greg just some quick questions.
21)Is the Codrex metal harder than protosteel? 32)If Gorast gets a new makuta armor, she will have the 42 kraata powers back, right? 42a)If so, does she still needs to consume light from others? 53)How long does it takes for a toa to gain their energy back after a nova blast? 64)Could Mata Nui open portals to other universe/dimesion? 75)How long has Teridax been in his antidermis form?
8Thats my questions for now. Thanks in advance.

91) Unknown 102) No 112a) Yes 123) Long time 134) I would say no 145) Many thousands of years

17Yeah, but he evolved into antidermis thousands of years ago.

1Hey Greg, I hope your move went well . I like the new chapters by the way, I cant wait for the rest . So heres my questions
21) Is it possible that Gorast helped create the Zivon? We have not seen or heard of any of her creations.
32) Can Tren Krom or his island be moved?
43) Could the technology or whatever moves Destral be used for other islands?
54) The returning character in 09 will not be a rahi, correct?
65) Will we see the Archives mole or their maps ever again? 75a) Will we see why and what causes them to do this?
86) The place of the Dead Gaaki was referring to, is this place by any chance dangerous?
97) Will the Bionicle symbol for 09 change a little? I think I saw a hint of 09 in the new magazine and I could see part of the Bionicle symbol in the background but not the whole thing. Its the page with the Bionicle Merchandise on it and it has an elemental background. 107a) Is this page at all 09?
118) Will any matoran characters in the UC die at all?
129) Is the true shape of the Phantoka Makuta's Kanohi similar to theirs now?
1310) Is the energy in the lightstones the source that causes the Mutegen?
14Thank you in advance Greg . Its very much appreciated . I cant wait to see the Mahri in DW again . And I will be back for questions after the 3rd chapters come out if I need too .

151) Anything's possible, but I haven't made a list of what she created since it's not important to story 162) No 173) Arguably, yes, but no one else knows it 184) Can't discuss 2009 195) A lot depends on how long BIONICLE lasts, Dex. No one has ruled out returning to the Matoran universe in the future, but it comes down to how many more years people buy sets and keep the franchise going 206) Of course 217) There was no hint of 2009 in the new magazine. We're not teasing 2009 until November comic 228) I can't discuss future storyline 239) No idea 2410) One of them, yes

1Hello Greg, here's some questions.
21) In Dwellers in Darkness 3 (which I really liked by the way) what was the rahi that Kualus summoned? 32) Will we find out who the Matoran that brought the Toa Nuva to Artahka in Gali Nuva Blog is? 43) Wouldn't a mask of rahi control be considered immoral because it is also a Makuta power? 54) I know a mask of clairvoyance is always on at a low level but can someone make it give them a vision?
6Thanks for your time 7~

81) Just a Rahi, doesn't have a BIONICLE name 92) No 103) Gravity is also a Makuta power, but we had a Mask of Gravity. The Makuta have 42 powers, so some are going to show up elsewhere 114) No

12-------------------- 13"What a boring world it would be if we had answers for all our questions." -- Thomas Raith

15~

11)Okay.So every event that occured,every known item was factored into Teridax's plan? 22)The plan also seemed to rely on the Nuva completeing their destiny,reference krika saying :If you awaken Mata Nui you and everything you know will be doomed to a future more horrible than ypu can imagine.How does this really make The Plan succsessful?Thanks . 31) No. Getting crushed by a door and losing his armor was not a part of the Plan. 42) Follow the story -- all will be made clear

11. When the Matoran returned to Metru Nui, did they reopen the coastal gates? 21a. If no, then did the Helryx and the others come through the gate that TSO reopened in BA10?
32. Who is the second-in-command of the Toa Metru? 42a. Toa Hagah? 52b. Toa Mangai? (Before Tuyet and Nidhiki's betrayal)
63. Will the winter '09 sets be in the movie?
74. Does the Journey of Takanuva take place in a pocket dimension or a different universe? 84a. If it does take place in a pocket dimension, then what was the decision that made the dimension?
95. Does Lehvak-Kal know that the Bahrag are free now? 105a. If yes, then did Lehvak-Kal go back to sleep way up there in the planet's orbit?
116. There's also a small army of Tahnok in the planet's orbit. Have they gone back to sleep as well?
127. If the Ignika runs out of energy, will the countdown-to-the-end-of-the-universe stop? 137a. The Ignika continues to use its energy to keep its body together, right?
148. Is Miserix dead in the Kingdom dimension? 158a. If yes, was it just because know one knew he was on Artidax?
169. Why did Voya Nui fly up through the Mainland's dome during the GC? I mean, even with Bionicle physics, an island can't fly through the air during an earthquake. Was the GC a force coming from the ground up?
17Thanks so much Greg.

181) Not yet, no 191a) Yes 202) No idea, not something I have worried about 213) Can't discuss 2009 224) Pocket dimensions are not created by decisions, alt. universes are. So this was a pocket dimension 235, 6) It's highly doubtful they could stay awake and functioning in orbit, due to the extreme cold 247) Moot point, because it would take hundreds o thousands of years for it to run out of energy 258) Yes 268a) No Makuta would been allowed in the Kingdom, even if they had known he was there 279) Can't discuss it

284. So hows a pocket dimension created?
295-6. So are they all destroyed now?
307. So if the Ignika awakened Mata Nui, that wouldn't use up all its energy?
31(New Question)1. Is there a Mask of Rahi Control?
32Thanks again Greg .

334) Pocket dimensions develop naturally when a universe comes into being 345-6) Most likely just dormant. As long as their krana are protected from freezing to death, the Bohrok themselves are not truly alive. 357) No. 361) Yes. Kualus wears it in DiD 3

37So if DM and TK take place in alt. universe, shouldn't their page names on BS01 be changed? Also, I asked Greg about the Mask of Rahi Control before DiD came out.

1Hi Greg, I've gotta a couple questions, I'm fine if you can't answer them.
21. Does the MU wrap around the Bionicle Planet? Like the landmasses on Earth? 32. When writing books, what images of the sets do you usually see? Prototypes, finished sets or does it vary? 43. Judging from what I have seen, heard and understand, the 2009 story does not take place on the Bionicle Planet, correct? 54. About Antroz's honor, say he wanted to fight a Toa, say Kopaka, evenly. If Kopaka had no weapons, but still wanted to fight evenly, would Antroz drop any weapons he had to make it even? 64a) Say he was fighting Kopaka, and Chirox or someone else interfered, but Antroz wanted to fight Kopaka alone, how would he react? 75. On BS01, it says that most of the members of the Hagah teams of the other Makuta were killed. I was wondering, could there have been corrupt Toa that joined with the Makuta? 86. Are Pridak and Mantax trying to escape separately, or are they trying to get the other caught to distract Hydraxon/Lesovikk so that it will be easier to escape? 97. Could you consider Trinuma's horns part of his mask to make it so that the mask can have a different power than the Hau? Or would they be considered part of his head? 108. Which BIONICLE character(s) do you think best represents the entire story (2001-2008)?
11Non-Bionicle random 129. What is your favorite movie?
13Thanks in advance.
14PS. You are the greatest author I've ever had the pleasure to communicate with, or read their books.

151) I don't understand your question 162) Varies, but beyond needing to look at what the weapons are, I don't pay that much attention to the look of the sets when I'm writing. 173) I can't discuss this 184) That would be the honorable thing to do, yes 194a) He'd probably smack Chirox 205) As soldiers in their armies, yes 216) No, they are just working separately 227) I don't know yet 238) No idea 249) The Usual Suspects

25Thanks for the quick responses.
261. I mean like how there are land masses on the other side of the planet. Like the saying that you can dig a hole to China. Could there be landmasses on the other side of the Bionicle Planet? Is the MU like a cover? Like how someone could get a ball (Bionicle Planet) and cover it in something like paper (MU)?

271) There is no reason to believe there is any other land on this planet other than the island of Mata Nui -- and there is nothing in any story bible that says there is.

281. Sorry, I got mixed up, I meant if the domed universe went around the Bionicle Planet.

291) Since we don't know how big the planet is, impossible to say how far around it the MU would extend

301. So does that mean that it possibly could wrap around the planet?

311) Can you explain to me why this matters?

321. I was just wondering how the universe is on the planet, like if it was similar to Earth, inhabitable on almost all sides. I also wanted to know for an epic I was writing.

33The planet is basically ocean on all sides.

2sry 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?
3with my regards oh great almost supirior to me being, 4Redge the bat.

51) 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.

6ok i sent a follow up to this a long time ago and you didn't respond so i wasn't sure if you got it. if you did i am sorry. 71.well when teridax was in the crystal could he shape shift? also when he was in maxilos armor or possesing someone without a soul could he shapeshift or was that an ability in normal makuta armor? 82.if it is part of the armor could the makuta still shapeshift before the became antidermiss? 93.when the ignika devolved Icarax did he rcover or is he just in horrible pain or did that kill him or what?
104. on a different subject of all the known makuta what order would the chain of comand be? or is it a free for all with teridax on top and that is it or what? 114b.if there is not a particular chain of comand who would you say teridax favors, krika or antroz?
125. on a new subject how would you say teridax felt when the meatru became toa? suprised, amused, confused?
136.i have noticed, originaly the the toa of fire was the leader and more powerfull than the rest but ever since the adventure saga it has been saying the toa of ice and fire are of equal power and the toa of ice is the debuty, why is this? i am not complaining, ice is my favorite element.
147. what is your favorite element? 157b. what is your second favorite? 168.who is your favorite makuta? 178b.who is your second favorite?
18with my highly sought regards, 19Redge the Bat.

201) No and no 212) No 223) No, he's still in pain 234) Teridax is on top, others serve in charge of projects at his discretion 245) Annoyed 256) Toa power levels are all the same, what differs is usually their experience and skills. The only Toa with higher power levels than normal are the Nuva. 267-8) This really isn't important.

27ok but lust a few things. 281about the makuta, who would you say terdidax prefers, krika or antroz? 292. will it ever explain hwy the inika had living masks and lightning power? 303what happened to the masks when the theyy turned into mahri. 314.did makuta particually like or dislike matoro?

321) Well, he gave Antroz command of the forces in Karda Nui 332) It's because of how they were made Toa, the energies of the red star 343) They were transformed 354) Makuta doesn't like anyone. He saw Matoro as emotionally vulnerable and played on that.

362) were the inika masks really alive and sentient, or where they just like a plant, or wher they just made out of an organic matiriel?
37on new questions: 381)does someone have to be a matoran of light, matoran toa of light or just any old toa ot be a shadow toa? or could you use shadow leaches on any toa or matoran? 391a)if any toa you said makuta was playing on matoros percinality defects, if matoro hadn't sacrificed himself would teridax considered matoro for a shadow toa? 402)if the mahri hadn't been too late would matoro of still had to sacrifice himself? 413)is there a limit to how small a makuta can transform? 424)the ignika became a toa in respect for matoro, but could it say of became makuta of life, or matoran of life, or somethin of that nature? 434b)if so and the ignika became makuta of life would it have acces to makuta powers? 445)how would you describe matoro compared to most ko-matoran?i have thoguth of him as more open minded, braver, less stuborn, if not quite as smart. 456)are there places where matoran lead? most matoran islands we have seen ahve been led by turaga or makuta. 467)on the trenn krom penensila, is trenn krom aware of them matoran or what is the deal with all that?
47with my everso humble regards, 48Redge the bat.

492) They had to be sentient, because they moved away from physical contact and they reacted to thoughts 501) Any Toa or Matoran 512) Yes 523) I can't see one getting much smaller than a Turaga 534) Thing is, it's really not a Toa -- it simply has a body roughly the same shape as a Toa's. So yes, it could have made a smaller body and looked like a Matoran, but it still would have had the same power 544b) No. The only power it has is its mask power. It did not get any extra powers by becoming a Toa, so why would it as a Makuta? 555) I don't know where you get "not quite as smart" from -- have you ever been a translator? It's not easy. 566) Yes. Voya Nui, where there is no Turaga, for one. 577) Tren Krom does not live on the Tren Krom peninsula. It's just named after him. Tren Krom lives on an island -- an island is not a peninsula

58ok. on 5 i meant because he was smart like all ko-matoran but most have allways been repeced as really super smart along with g-matoran and sometimes onu-matoran. but matoro said if I cannot save mata nui with my skill or my brains then maybe i can help this way. (this is not the exact quote. i have misspleaced my copy of inferno, iwtch is one of my favorites.) 59on the first 2)where the masks still sentient when the became the mahri masks?
607)i meant was trenn krom aware of the penesula with matoran on it named after him?
61new questions 621a)where the toa mata the only toa that where created as toa? or where there some others? 631b)if not only the mata what would you say the proportion of toa created as toa is to toa created as matoran? 641c)if mostly from matoran to toa how come whenua said: "since whne are matoran just zapped into toa?' when he studied the past and would know these things? 652a)did matoro have freinds when he was a matoran? i know he was freinds with jaller and hali but in ko-koro did he or did he keep to himself because of his job? 662b)where jaller and matoro close friends? (i ask all these matoro questions because i am writing a comic book series adout matoro's live and i want it to be as acurate as possible) 672)same as 2a on metru nui. did he have freinds there? i think he must of had more considering he had a pet shop and had onu-matoran friends. 683)matoran cannot use masks but they can feel a power surge when they put on a noble mask and an even bigger one when putting on a toa mask. well if a matoran put on one of the really powerfull ones like the mask of shadows, light, or time could they use it? i ask because the mask of light is so powerfull dekaar astivated part of its abilities just by touching it. 694)is the light lightstones give off a light similar to sunlight, or is it blueish, whiteish? 705)do matoran get light from stuff other than lightstones? like a tourch, or something? 716a)what do bionicles eat? in tales of the masks it says whenua and onua shared a meal from there packs, and takea sharks, mantex, and pridak all eat. 726b)how mutch and how often do they need to eat? we know not often because the stuff like karda nui, the hordika, all this stuff happens with out food.
737a)how mutch do bionicles need to sleep? i think not as mutch as humans for the same reasons as above. 748)how long would you say the voya/mahri nui saga took? once the inika got to voya nui it happened straight with no rest. so i am guessing about a day?
75thanks for your awsers, 76Redge the bat.

772) No 787) Probably not -- the impression one gets from the serial is that he was not aware of what was going on in the outside world 791a) Helryx was created as a Toa 801b) 99.99 percent of Toa were Matoran first 811c) Whenua studied things like Rahi, etc. He had never seen a Toa come into being, so he had no way to know they come from Matoran. The only Toa he had met were Lhikan's team, who were already Toa when they came to Metru Nui. 822a) He had friends, but there was a lot he could not share with them on Mata Nui 832b) No 842c) Yes 853) No. The Mask of Light was acting on its own in that case, because it is sentient, Dekar did not cause it to happen. 864) Whitish 875) They can, if need be 886a) They absorb energy directly from certain things, like fruits, fish, etc. On Metru Nui, they had a central energy source that they used 896b) Not that often, every couple of days most likely 907) They still do require sleep, but as with soldiers, if a Toa is on a mission he learns to do without. 918) Yes, it didn't take long, as Mata Nui only had a few days to live when the Nuva left Metru Nui

92ok completely new questions,
931)could the ignika'a powers be combined with matoros mahri mask (have trouble with mask names as you can tell) could someone truelly awak the dead?i know a toa can not use 2 masks at once (right?) but what if a being had that power? 942)where the inika masks still sentient when the became the mahri masks? 953)what was going on in the world when the mtoran where on mata nui? 964)what color are the sea squid? i have them in orange, yellow, green, and blue. i think they are tan but i'm not sure. 975)where there many other organic creatures other than the birds on mata nui? 986)in mask of light the gukko birds where half bio-mechanicle, half completely orgainc, is this what they supposed to look like or is that artistic license? 996a)is so where they like that on metru nui? 1007)it says ther whee no organic things in metru nnui, what about kratta, and krana? 1018)how where there bohrock in metru nui? 1029)in tale of the toa, how did the turaga nad matoran predict the mata 103s arival? i think it was one of vakama 104s visions. 10510)in tales of the masks how did the masks get to all those locations? 10611)you probably can't awser this but, if mata nui woke up, could he just think, wipe out all the makuta, and it will happen, or does he have to make less direct influence and make things happen to kill the makuta?
107thank you for all the awnsers so far, 108Redge the bat.

1091) Since no one can use two masks at a time, this can't happen. 1102) Once they became Mahri masks, they went back to being inanimate objects, so no 1113) None of those stories have been told 1124) Colors vary 1135) No 1146) I don't get you -- a bio-mechanical being is partly organic -- you cannot be "half completely" something 1157) There were no kraata or krana native to Metru Nui 1168) There weren't. Bohrok nests extend well below Metru Nui, but they have no programming related to Metru Nui 1179) Yes, it was 11810) The Nuva masks? Teleported by Artakha 11911) Can't answer it
