11. Are coastal gates another name for sea gates? 22. Are sea gates all over the Matoran Universe? 33. They do connect domes through the passage of water, right? 4Thank you
51) The "sea gates" are basically the places where pieces of MN's body interconnect, through which liquid protodermis flows.
6We got a really nice definition now.
4Simple. They needed a power source more stable than the one they had tried using before. EP is not, by nature, unstable -- it's not explosive -- its effects are actually quite predictable in a way, transform or destroy, no middle ground.
5How...WHAT? How does that make any sense? From what I can see, EP won't explode, but will do EVERYTHING ELSE. It's chaotic force incarnate, there's nothing predicable about it.
6Greg pointed out exactly how it was predictable. Whatever touches it is either transformed or destroyed. It doesn't do "everything else" it just transforms or destroys. You could add it to an acid, alkali, salt, metal, radioactive substance, and the result would always be the same: transformed or destroyed. 7As for it exploding, it only did that when Vakama heated it up. It wasn't randomly reacting with the air, Vakama actually did something to it. You heat water up, it boils and starts bubbling and splashing all over the place. Same sot of thing with Vakama.
8You DO realize that totally unpredictable transformations for everything it touches, living or nonliving, in addition to possible destruction, is pretty much chaos incarnate, right? And if it explodes, it's an explosive. Dynamite only explodes if it's struck with enough force, and it's still an explosive.
9You're still missing the point. EP will do one of 2 things when exposed to something: destroy it in a horrible manner, or transform it in to anything. It will either transform or destroy. Period. That is super predictible. And no body cares about the infinite possiblities of its transformation, or even that nobody knows if something will be transformed or destroyed by EP. All that matters is that EP will either transform you or destroy you. End of story.
11. Is the Thornatus that Metus was seen piloting in Desert of Danger a Thornatus V9? 22. Are the warriors in the Forest of Blades former victims of the living trees that comprise it? If so, how did the end up merged to the trees? Some form of "digestion?" 33. I'm assuming that the Agori Kirbraz is of the Water Tribe, is this correct? 44. Is the plan now to make the current three web serials last all year? 55a. Are the female Skrall exiles from the Rock Tribe due to sexism? (A trait I believe has been common in male-dominated warrior societies.) 65b. Are female Rock Agori similarly exiled? 76. Male Skrall are physically stronger than other Glatorian, but how do female Skrall match up? 87. There appear to be a lot of parallels between beings outside the Matoran Universe and those within... Were the Makuta intended to be the "scientist-kings" of the Matoran Universe (I believe they certainly could be perceived as such), much like the Great Beings were of Spherus Magna? 98. Do you know if TV shows (such as Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) must receive permission from LEGO before including their products in shows? 109. How did the Order know where to send Lewa to assist Artakha? 1110. Do you plan on introducing Element Lords with powers beyond those of the six (known?) Agori tribes? (It certainly seems as if others could exist, anyways.) 1211. What are the chances of learning what became of Vultraz? 1312. Over the years, you wrote several back stories for the Matoran Universe. Do you plan on doing anything similar with Bara Magna before we leave it behind? (The Core War, the Shattering, the formation of the gladiatorial system... All would be quite interesting to hear about in my opinion.)
141) I hesitate to answer until I see how it is depicted in the movie. 152) They are definitely victims, yes, but as for "how," we aren't done there yet so it's too early to discuss 163) Yes 174) Nope 185a) Nope 195b) Nope 206) We'll find out when they show up in story 217) No, the Ms were only supposed to create Rahi and such, they were not intended to rule the Matoran. If they had been, then Makuta Teridax would have had no reason to complain,since that was what he wanted to start with 228) Normally, that sort of thing is done by arrangement with our PR department, I believe 239) My guess would be Artakha called for help 2410) Not right now, no 2511) Don't know at this point 2612) Yes. Papercutz Graphic Novel #8 will contain three stories -- one on the Core War and Shattering, one on Malum's exile, and one on the Skrall's battles with the baterra.
271. Just curious... But what impact would that have on your decision? (...Is the plot of Desert of Danger replicated in the movie?) 283. Is Kirbraz male or female? 2912. Ah, yes, I remember reading that elsewhere now. As it's a graphic novel, these stories will all be, in essence, comic books, correct?
301) Metus appears in his vehicle in the movie 313) Male 3212) Yes, three 25-page stories
33Thanks for the replies, Greg. I've just got two more follow-up questions that I left out last time.
345a. Is it perhaps because the female Skrall have adopted pacifism, then? 3513. Is the exile of the female Skrall are relatively recent development, or has their society always shunned them? (Something to do with the Baterra maybe...?)
365A) <--- rolling on the floor laughing ... oh, no. 3713) I wouldn't really call it an exile ... the females don't want to be around the males anymore than the males want them around, and it's always been this way. Not really that much different from many species in our world, where the males and females do not spend any more time together than they absolutely have to.
38Well, you never know.
39~|ET|~
1Then for the Skrall as a species to survive, I'm assuming the Skrall must have some form of mating season *shudders*
1hey Greg, a couple of quick questions today.
21) Malum's Claws, Ackar's sword, and Raanu's blade, those arn't actualy made of or on fire, correct? They are just metal shaped like flames?
32) can Helryx use her mask on the armor of the dead glatorian in Mata Nui's brain to see either Spherus or Bara Magna?
4thanks again
5oh, btw, why is Vezon so crazy insane? I love him that way, but what exactly compeled you to make him so crazy?
61) Correct. The Glatorian did, pre-Shattering, have some elemental weapons, but the "charges" on those weapons ran out long ago. 72) Most likely, yes 83) Well, remember, he is half a being, basically, yanked out fully grown into the world. It only makes sense that just the shock of that would make you nuts.
91) ...didn't know that
102) sweet . . now all she needs is a mask of telepathy and she can call to Mata Nui for reenforcments (i am the worst speller)
113) still love Vezon
1You DO realize that totally unpredictable transformations for everything it touches, living or nonliving, in addition to possible destruction, is pretty much chaos incarnate, right? And if it explodes, it's an explosive. Dynamite only explodes if it's struck with enough force, and it's still an explosive.
2Say I have a potent acid that corrodes and dissolves anything it touches. That is predictable, yes? It has the same effect on anything. So why should it matter what shape the puddles end up in? That is effectively your argument. Sure EP might change people into different things, but they're being transformed all the same. The end result does not matter, they are being transformed. And you'd expect that from EP. 3How does it being explosive make it unpredictable? If I heated something up or hit it with great force I'd fully expect it to radically react to that.
4I think we should probably take this debate somewhere else, or we'll clutter up the OGD

4I would like the two of you to each tell me something EP CANNOT do.
1Hey Greg, got more questions for you,
21. Does Branar resemble a normal warrior class Skrall enough that an image of one can be used for his BS01 page? 32. Did Makuta use some kind of ejection system to hurl the Ignika into space? Could Mata Nui have used this system to eject anything inside him that needed to be removed? 43. In Makuta's Guide to the Universe (a nice book by the way), it says "the Makuta who [still] survive are used to mass produce kraata so that Teridax's armies remain strong." Does this mean that Miserix is being used to produce kraata? 54. Also, in the Makuta's Guide to the Universe, the Piraka's promotional nicknames were written next to their real names above their bios (except for Hakaan's, which I know you didn't like). Why did you decide to include these nicknames in the guide?
6Thanks a lot . 7-Lord Salokin
81) Yes 92) Yes 103) No, it means that at the time the book was set -- just as Makuta took control and in the immediate aftermath -- there were still Makuta alive in the universe. There aren't now, other than Miserix, who can't be used for anything without him realizing he isn't really wall art 114) I didn't, AMEET did.
11)There has been some controversy about these two images in S&T:
2Is that liquid leaking out blood?
32)Some members are trying to find out about the traitor because of the eye color. Does the traitor have red eyes in set form?
41) This is really old news. It got debated to death in 2007, I really see no reason to revisit the issue. Please keep in mind that the events of that mini-movie were a vision given to Dekar by the Mask of Life, they were not events that actually happened in story.
52) There is no point to that. As I have stated, Pop Nhan did not know who the traitor was when he drew the comic (he still doesn't), so the eye color is not based on set or movie appearance of the character.
141) I hesitate to answer until I see how it is depicted in the movie. 152) They are definitely victims, yes, but as for "how," we aren't done there yet so it's too early to discuss 163) Yes 174) Nope 185a) Nope 195b) Nope 206) We'll find out when they show up in story 217) No, the Ms were only supposed to create Rahi and such, they were not intended to rule the Matoran.

40Very interesting...
41I wonder if Tuma had a female counterpart that was killed along with the rest of his class...
1Hey GregF, just one question. 2What was the reason for the Great Beings to storing EP in Mata Nui? Didn't it seem like a dangerous substance for an experiment to contain? 3Thanks.
4Simple. They needed a power source more stable than the one they had tried using before. EP is not, by nature, unstable -- it's not explosive -- its effects are actually quite predictable in a way, transform or destroy, no middle ground.
5Did they have to constantly experiment with EP to find a solution to actually holding the EP? Like a glass jar holding water. Like was the container made out of some special Protodermis that wouldn't let EP transform or destroy its surface?
6We already know such a substance exists -- BIONICLE Adventures #6, I believe, the Toa Metru retrieve EP in a vial that prevents its effects.
7Assuming EP is the power source used for Mata Nui, what was originally used for the prototype?
8Haven't worried about it, since I am not telling a story about the building of the prototype
11. What character in BIONICLE would you say is most similar to yourself?
22. A long time ago, people were asking you whether the name "Ice Axe" for Metus's tool was correct, on the basis that it looked more like a sword, and you presumably agreed that it was a sword (Electric Turahk has not provided a link to the PM or cited a place the PM was mentioned). I later found this, which is an actual variety of axe but looks remarkably more like Metus's tool than what we typically think of as an axe.
3Greg, EVERY official source, including information on LEGOshop.com and BIONICLE.com in EVERY language calls Metus's tool an "Ice Axe" Can you confirm that Ice Axe is its actual name, despite it not resembling a conventional axe?
4Also, apologies for all the noobs who put you through trouble when their narrow minds can't understand tool names like this or the now-revealed Venom Spear. Thank you very much for holding your ground on this latter issue.
52a. If it is a sword, could its official name be considered "Ice Sword"?
63. Is the Thornatus used by Metus in Desert of Danger a V9?
7Thanks in advance for these answers.
81) I don't think any of them are like me 92) Electric Turahk has asked me not to answer any questions that impact BS01 Wiki unless they come from Wiki staff, so you will need to take this up with him. 103) I am sure it looks the same as the V9, so most likely
1Hi Greg.
2I have a couple of questions that I hope you won't mind answering. I've tried to avoid summer stuff as much as possible, as I know that we are mere weeks away from Glatorian Legends.
31. Based on RotGB 5, have some Agori ever been forced to consume Thornax stew? Or is that just big talk on Crotesius' part? 42. Was there ever a point in the history of the Element Lords' existence when they all got along or at least tolerated each other? Or have tensions always been running high between them? 53. Are all six of the Element Lords we know about (Fire, Water, Jungle, Rock, Sand and Ice) still alive? 64. Has the official name for the Endless Ocean Planet been confirmed yet? 75. How big is Bara Magna compared to the Endless Ocean Planet?
8Thanks Greg.
9Triggy
101) It's an exaggeration, like someone saying, "I'm hungry enough to eat a bear." Doesn't mean he has or intends to eat a bear. 112) Oh, sure, they tolerated each other for ages before EP was discovered. 123) Unknown at present 134) Yes, we know what the name is here 145) Don't know.
15Thanks. A couple follow-ups, if you don't mind.
162) Has the story team decided for how long the EL's dominion on Spherus Magna lasted? 174) That's exciting. Is there an ancticipated release time for that name? Or is it a TSO's-name-will-never-reveal situation?
18Thanks Greg.
192) Long time 204) Sometime in the next year, I would expect
21Excited about #4.
22
1Does destroying the EP in the Matoran Universe have any effect on the Matoran Universe? Since EP is a power source, wouldn't that be damaging the MU's process? Or is there another bank of EP hidden somewhere that powers up the MU?
2Time will tell. We do not know what the situation is now -- after 100,000 years of operation, perhaps the MN body is no longer so dependent on EP, or is capable of synthesizing its own. We know that research was being done on artificial EP in the Matoran universe.
1Hello oh mighty one, it has been a while since my last questions so this might take a while.
21)What exact type of mental disorder does Vezon have? i would probably say a schitzofrantic psychopath but i'm not sure.
32) If Vezon was free and had weapons would he be a competent psycho or not?
43) if toa mata nui's helmet/mask was removed would the body disappear?
54) in screen shots from the movie the legs of the virtuman have been removed so that mata nui's mouth is visible. does this slide in to close up like Optimus Prime's mouth guard or is it always open?
65) does Vastus's scythe use some sort of snake venom? it would make sense as the tube and nozzle that apears to apply the venom is made to look like a snake. 75b)Bara Magna does have snakes of some sort correct? 85c)speaking of which do they have some sort of large scorpions there? i ask because on the back of the skrall canister a group of large scorpions can be seen.
96)are the skrall wearing helmets or is that what their head looks like?
107)are leader class skrall a subspecies of skrall or are they born in a similar manner as queen bees?
118) could an Agori serve as a #1 or #2 glatorian?
129) does Strakk think that Malum should of been exiled for almost killing him? 139b)does Strakk particularly resent Malum for almost killing him?
1410) does Kiina dislike other Agori and Glatorian or do they just dislike her?
1511)who is disliked more, Strakk or Kiina?
1612)Is the mata nui robot particularly strong for his size?
1713)what has been your least favorite year in BIONICLE so far?
1814)what was you least favorite toa team? 1914b)what was your favorite toa team?
2015)what was your favorite team of villains? 2115b)least favorite?
2216) i forgot to ask earlier, does the "Mouth" on Strakk's helmet move or not?
2317)also, do the different Agori and Glatorian tribe tend to have one skin color, i.e. iconox blue, tajun green, or is it random.
241) Not a psychiatrist, have not tried to diagnose him 252) What do you mean by "free"? He's not imprisoned. 263) Yes 274, 16) No idea how it will be depicted in the movie 285) Would make sense 295b) Definitely 305c) Reasonable assumption 316) Helmets 327) Have no idea how queen bees are born, so can't answer this 338) No 349) Yes. And if Strakk does that to someone, he'll be exiled for it, those are the rules and everyone understands them 359b) Well, he certainly wouldn't consider Malum a pal 3610) People seem to be jumping to the conclusion that Kiina is this horrible person because Strakk dislikes her, not stopping to consider that Strakk is not a very nice person. Both Ackar and Gresh are friends with Kiina and would trust her with their lives. 3711) I don't know that either one is disliked by a large majority of people. If someone is winning for your village, you support them. If someone keeps beating your Glatorian in the arena, you probably don't like them much. Glatorian are like baseball players -- you want them to perform, whether they are saints off the field is irrelevant. 3812) Haven't thought about it, since we have not depicted it in physical combat with anyone 3913) 2005 4017) No idea. That's really an art/animation thing, not my area

1Hi Greg :3
2I just have a few questions on Skrall, specifically the female skrall.
31) Are the female radically different from male skrall? As in, far beyond normal gender differences? 41a) If so, are female skrall like queen bees?
52) Do the two genders simply not get along or is there a more serious reason for not tolerating each other?
63) Are there female skrall on Bara Magna? If so, do they fight in arena matches under their own faction?
74) There are many cases in the animal kingdom of females being larger and more agressive than males. Is this the case with skrall?
85) Any plans for female skrall sets next year, if we are on BM?
91) They are different, certainly, I don't know if I would use the term "radically" 101a) In what way? 112) We'll get to that 123) Yes, and no, they have nothing to do with arenas. The whole arena thing exists in the desert villages of Bara Magna. Female Skrall do not live anywhere near the desert and are not involved in the Bara Magna social system. 134) Nope 145) No, no plans for sets
1Okie, I have several Questions about Bara Magna.
21)Do the Agori of volcanus hold an emotional grudge against Malum, they would probably be disapointed, but like, they don't hate him?
32)Why in the world would Raanu leave Volcanus just to watch the tournament? I know it's an important event, but almost everyone is there, looks like Bone Hunter Raiding Season, I'm guessing the tribes would need their leaders there.
43)I'm asking this again, since for some reason my follow-ups never get to you. Do Bara Magnians have magnetic implants on their heads? Because some helmets, like Berix's, and therefore Ackar's, look like they can't stay on very easily, and (At least story-wise) I doubt BMnians have +rod holes on their heads.
55)Does Kiina get any openings on figths, or is chivalry not big among Glats?
66)umm...Sahmad is from Roxtus...does that mean a skrall couldd also be orange?
77)Do creatures on BM wear armor? we know at least the spikit has helmets.
88)Can you give us info on Telluris and Perditus, nothing big, only like, what species are they, or what tribes they are from?
99)What's the difference between a normal vehicle and a V#?
1010) Have you seen the art of the new graphic stories?
1111)How come non-set characters are being featured more than some set characters, that doesn't look like a good plan to me.
1212)Are there any Element Ladies, or only Lords?
1313)Can you tell us anything about the Vehicle drivers' characters.
141) I don't think they hate him, but they are angry at him for not being able to control himself and so costing them a Glatorian, and I think they fear him as well. 152) Everyone goes to the tournament, Glatorian and Agori. What would be the point of him staying in Vulcanus by himself? If Ackar and the trainees are at the tournament, there is no one in the village to stop a bone hunter attack anyway. 163) Not that I am aware of, no 175) What do you mean by openings? You mean advantages? No. That's not chivalry, it's chauvinism. 186) Where does it say Sahmad is from Roxtus? Sahmad sometimes stays in Roxtus, he is not from Roxtus. 197) Some do, and some have natural armor 208) Nope 219) Have you seen any normal vehicles? Do you know that there are any? 2210) Not from Book 8, no. I may not, either, I don't know if they will send it to me to see. 2311) What non-set characters are you referring to, and where are they being featured? No non-set characters appear in the comics or the movie. Serials always have characters in them that are not sets or are old sets. Why? Because the whereabouts of set characters are all known due to comics and the movie, so I cannot have them in two places at once in serials. So it is easier to use my own characters in some cases. 2412) Don't know yet 2513) No, too early
262) So, the Agori and Glatorian just leave the villages, when they come bck, they could be going to a trap, don't they cre? 276)Um, I think the BS01 template confused me..again, but that doesn't answer the question though, but since skrall can just put anything on, it's kinda of a stupid question. 2811)Kirbold is being featured in the Crossing, which is as much a book as any(IMO). 29anyways, thanks.
302) What kind of a trap? They were not yet at war with the Skrall when they left, and bone hunters are thieves, they don't kill Agori just for the sake of doing it. If they can rob the villages and leave, they'll do it -- but Agori don't have all that much, so odds are anything of value they would have brought with them anyway. 3111) Right. What's your point? Comics are what have always been mandated to focus on set characters, since the comics are funded by the Brand team as a marketing tool. Books, on the other hand, have a long history of featuring non-set characters -- Karzahni (before he was a set), Krahka, Mavrah, the list goes on and on.
32And the mistery of the magic helmets continue.
21)Do the Agori of volcanus hold an emotional grudge against Malum, they would probably be disapointed, but like, they don't hate him?
32)Why in the world would Raanu leave Volcanus just to watch the tournament? I know it's an important event, but almost everyone is there, looks like Bone Hunter Raiding Season, I'm guessing the tribes would need their leaders there.
43)I'm asking this again, since for some reason my follow-ups never get to you. Do Bara Magnians have magnetic implants on their heads? Because some helmets, like Berix's, and therefore Ackar's, look like they can't stay on very easily, and (At least story-wise) I doubt BMnians have +rod holes on their heads.
55)Does Kiina get any openings on figths, or is chivalry not big among Glats?
66)umm...Sahmad is from Roxtus...does that mean a skrall couldd also be orange?
77)Do creatures on BM wear armor? we know at least the spikit has helmets.
88)Can you give us info on Telluris and Perditus, nothing big, only like, what species are they, or what tribes they are from?
99)What's the difference between a normal vehicle and a V#?
1010) Have you seen the art of the new graphic stories?
1111)How come non-set characters are being featured more than some set characters, that doesn't look like a good plan to me.
1212)Are there any Element Ladies, or only Lords?
1313)Can you tell us anything about the Vehicle drivers' characters.
141) I don't think they hate him, but they are angry at him for not being able to control himself and so costing them a Glatorian, and I think they fear him as well. 152) Everyone goes to the tournament, Glatorian and Agori. What would be the point of him staying in Vulcanus by himself? If Ackar and the trainees are at the tournament, there is no one in the village to stop a bone hunter attack anyway. 163) Not that I am aware of, no 175) What do you mean by openings? You mean advantages? No. That's not chivalry, it's chauvinism. 186) Where does it say Sahmad is from Roxtus? Sahmad sometimes stays in Roxtus, he is not from Roxtus. 197) Some do, and some have natural armor 208) Nope 219) Have you seen any normal vehicles? Do you know that there are any? 2210) Not from Book 8, no. I may not, either, I don't know if they will send it to me to see. 2311) What non-set characters are you referring to, and where are they being featured? No non-set characters appear in the comics or the movie. Serials always have characters in them that are not sets or are old sets. Why? Because the whereabouts of set characters are all known due to comics and the movie, so I cannot have them in two places at once in serials. So it is easier to use my own characters in some cases. 2412) Don't know yet 2513) No, too early
262) So, the Agori and Glatorian just leave the villages, when they come bck, they could be going to a trap, don't they cre? 276)Um, I think the BS01 template confused me..again, but that doesn't answer the question though, but since skrall can just put anything on, it's kinda of a stupid question. 2811)Kirbold is being featured in the Crossing, which is as much a book as any(IMO). 29anyways, thanks.
302) What kind of a trap? They were not yet at war with the Skrall when they left, and bone hunters are thieves, they don't kill Agori just for the sake of doing it. If they can rob the villages and leave, they'll do it -- but Agori don't have all that much, so odds are anything of value they would have brought with them anyway. 3111) Right. What's your point?

33Where did you read that Sahmad has even ever been to Roxtus?
34BS01, most likely. Says he's a Rock Agori.
1I believe we assumed that he was a Rock Agori from some sort of description.
1Just to clarify: obviously nobody is -from- Roxtus, they all moved in there recently.
2Yeah, him being from the Rock Tribe was based off an old product description. I suppose it may have been wrong; I sent Greg a PM just to clarify.
3I wonder what "sometimes" entails. Maybe he goes out and battles a lot? Maybe he's a prisoner with stockholm?

1QUOTE 2QUOTE 3QUOTE 4Hello oh mighty one, it has been a while since my last questions so this might take a while.
51)What exact type of mental disorder does Vezon have? i would probably say a schitzofrantic psychopath but i'm not sure.
62) If Vezon was free and had weapons would he be a competent psycho or not?
73) if toa mata nui's helmet/mask was removed would the body disappear?
84) in screen shots from the movie the legs of the virtuman have been removed so that mata nui's mouth is visible. does this slide in to close up like Optimus Prime's mouth guard or is it always open?
95) does Vastus's scythe use some sort of snake venom? it would make sense as the tube and nozzle that apears to apply the venom is made to look like a snake. 105b)Bara Magna does have snakes of some sort correct? 115c)speaking of which do they have some sort of large scorpions there? i ask because on the back of the skrall canister a group of large scorpions can be seen.
126)are the skrall wearing helmets or is that what their head looks like?
137)are leader class skrall a subspecies of skrall or are they born in a similar manner as queen bees?
148) could an Agori serve as a #1 or #2 glatorian?
159) does Strakk think that Malum should of been exiled for almost killing him? 169b)does Strakk particularly resent Malum for almost killing him?
1710) does Kiina dislike other Agori and Glatorian or do they just dislike her?
1811)who is disliked more, Strakk or Kiina?
1912)Is the mata nui robot particularly strong for his size?
2013)what has been your least favorite year in BIONICLE so far?
2114)what was you least favorite toa team? 2214b)what was your favorite toa team?
2315)what was your favorite team of villains? 2415b)least favorite?
2516) i forgot to ask earlier, does the "Mouth" on Strakk's helmet move or not?
2617)also, do the different Agori and Glatorian tribe tend to have one skin color, i.e. iconox blue, tajun green, or is it random.
271) Not a psychiatrist, have not tried to diagnose him 282) What do you mean by "free"? He's not imprisoned. 293) Yes 304, 16) No idea how it will be depicted in the movie 315) Would make sense 325b) Definitely 335c) Reasonable assumption 346) Helmets 357) Have no idea how queen bees are born, so can't answer this 368) No 379) Yes. And if Strakk does that to someone, he'll be exiled for it, those are the rules and everyone understands them 389b) Well, he certainly wouldn't consider Malum a pal 3910) People seem to be jumping to the conclusion that Kiina is this horrible person because Strakk dislikes her, not stopping to consider that Strakk is not a very nice person. Both Ackar and Gresh are friends with Kiina and would trust her with their lives. 4011) I don't know that either one is disliked by a large majority of people. If someone is winning for your village, you support them. If someone keeps beating your Glatorian in the arena, you probably don't like them much. Glatorian are like baseball players -- you want them to perform, whether they are saints off the field is irrelevant. 4112) Haven't thought about it, since we have not depicted it in physical combat with anyone 4213) 2005 4317) No idea. That's really an art/animation thing, not my area 442)i mean if Vezon could just be himself, with no one originally chasing him, no duties or masks messing with him, just plain Vezon with some weapons. 457)queen bees are born like a regular bee at random, but are very different and rushed off to be treated like a superior species. 4610) im not saying that she's a horrible person, but people don't seem to trust or like her, like in rotgb. but If Kiina is friends with Gresh and Ackar, would you say that Tarix and Strakk are friends since they seem to hang out and practice together a lot.
471)do you know if we will be getting treated to another cryoshell song this year? 482)do agori and glatorian always wear armor the color of their tribe? 493)do agori and glatorian wear normal cloths most of the time or are they always in armor. 503b)would it depend on their profession i.e. Metus or Berix always wearing armor but a merchant wearing clothes? 514)are the agori and glatorian generally violent outside of the arena or not. 525)do most Agori and Glatorian wear their own custom armor or is there a fair amount of standard issue armor. I ask because there are some cases like Berix and Ackar wearing the same helmet, or two characters having the same armor. 536)are the Vorox and Zesk wearing helmets or is that their head? 547) Are skakdi carnivorous like the Barraki and certain rahi? i ask because one time Vezon said "all the lava eels i can eat". 558)on the bara magna planet, was it originally vegetated or wet in other places or was all of it always barren? 569)other than marval comics, what would you say give you the most inspiration for BIONICLE? 5710)in ros when it said that the power of the Olmak would not come to Vezon, is it saying that it isn't working anymore, or that it just isn't doing anything at the moment? 5811)does the story team control what you do in the story serials much? 5912)is marrige only between rulers in the mu or could it be between anyone?
602) Okay, but what does "competent psycho" mean? What is an incompetent psycho? 617) No, I wouldn't say that is the case here 6210) They are colleagues, I wouldn't call them friends. 631) Nope, don't know 642) It's standard, though it's not required by law. More done out of convenience 653) Pretty much always in armor. It's a dangerous world, and if something happens, you won't have time to go run put your armor on 664) I don't think so, no. The main reason they have the arena is so they don't have to have wars, etc. 675) They basically wear what they wore throughout their history or what they scavenged. There isn't really "custom armor" because Agori do not create new things, they simply patch and repair the old. 686) Helmets 697) Yes, though they don't need to be. They do it more to frighten others, who find actually eating with your mouth repulsive 708) Bara Magna was always a desert, it just wasn't this big a desert in the past 719) I really can't point to anything, because BIONICLE is unique in a lot of ways and is its own inspiration 7210) It means he cannot control it. It works on its own, without prompting from him. 7311) No, not really. I will run things by them sometimes if I think it might impact something someplace else or just to make sure they are okay with the direction, but generally we don't talk about them. 7412) The only marriages in the MU are political alliances. There's no other kind.

2I just have a few questions on Skrall, specifically the female skrall.
31) Are the female radically different from male skrall? As in, far beyond normal gender differences? 41a) If so, are female skrall like queen bees?
52) Do the two genders simply not get along or is there a more serious reason for not tolerating each other?
63) Are there female skrall on Bara Magna? If so, do they fight in arena matches under their own faction?
74) There are many cases in the animal kingdom of females being larger and more agressive than males. Is this the case with skrall?
85) Any plans for female skrall sets next year, if we are on BM?
91) They are different, certainly, I don't know if I would use the term "radically" 101a) In what way? 112) We'll get to that 123) Yes, and no, they have nothing to do with arenas. The whole arena thing exists in the desert villages of Bara Magna. Female Skrall do not live anywhere near the desert and are not involved in the Bara Magna social system. 134) Nope 145) No, no plans for sets
15Female Skrall don't even live in the desert? That means they live in the........sky . O_o

16Or the mountains. Where all Skrall used to live.
1Maybe in an area set off from Roxtus? 2They aren't allowed to live in it, but maybe close to it?
3Living where the entire race just left from doesn't make sense.
4An area close to it would still be desert, which isn't where the Skrall females are situated.
5Has it been confirmed they even live on Bara Magna? Because they might have lived elsewhere on Spherus Magna, and now be on one of its moons...
4Simple. They needed a power source more stable than the one they had tried using before. EP is not, by nature, unstable -- it's not explosive -- its effects are actually quite predictable in a way, transform or destroy, no middle ground.
5Is it just me or is that also some news? It could explain the parts all over Bara Magna. 6Sorry if this is already known, but I haven't been on BZP allot this week

81) What do you mean by "original life?" 92) Sure. Mata Nui interacts with a number of characters during the movie 103) No 114) Pretty much 125) Northern regions of the Black Spikes
131 his life as a great spirit as on BS01 it says the virus made him lose some of his memory 142 sorry i meant when the mask crashed into bara magna
151) He knows he was the Great Spirit. If he didn't, he wouldn't be trying to get back to his old body and save his people, because he wouldn't remember them. 162) Do you mean did other people see the mask? People saw it coming through the sky but most just thought it was a meteor or a shooting star. They couldn't tell what it was. And Metus did not see the mask crash, he doesn't arrive until Mata Nui already has a body
2No.
3Ok because on his BS01 page it says he's a Rock Agori.
4Rock Agori do not wear red armor, they wear black armor.
5So is he a fire agori ?
6No, he does not belong to any of the six known tribes.
7Where is it said that Sahmad's even an Agori, that's what I'd like to know.
2No.

9Actually, Greg's given BS01 some exclusive info, go check it out. Sahmad is an Agori from a seperate tribe which, at some point before the Core War, was all but wiped out by an enigmatic plague. The survivors were shunned by the other tribes, as they all feared they were carriers of the disease. Given his similar armour colour, I'm betting Telluris is also from that tribe.

11Now the question is, did this tribe have an Element Lord?
12I bet 5 dollars the the prototype great spirit had something to do with the plague that killed this tribe.
1Hey Greg . Long time, no speak. Anyways, I have some questions about ... the Skrall
2One: Were there any female in Tuma's class that acted as leaders?
3Two: I heard that female Skrall didn't live in Roxtus; where exactly do they live?
4Three: Are Skrall ever banished for wrong doing or are they just executed?
5Four: Is Mata Nui physically weaker, stronger, or as strong as a warrior-class Skrall?
6Five: Will Stronius be shown a lot in the comics, or is he basically a serial special set?
7And Six: Does every tribe (unlike the Sand Tribe) have access to vehicles, or are they exclusive to certain villages?
8..... and about Books, Comics, Serials....
9One: When it mentions in "Inferno" that the matoran worked in dark, was this some sort of programming put into the matoran try isolate them from any nearby Glatorian and the Great Beings?
10Two: Does Pridak play a major role in the Hydraxon comic or is just mentioned in it?
11Three: Although the comics are supposed to be free for us and all that, but will there be any plans to extend the comic pages? (ps- I don't mean to work the artist even more than he has to.)
12And Four: Are there any plans to make some changes to the serials? Ex- Change them to include a first-person serial?
13..... and finally about future works, the movie, and progress.
14One: What are you currently working on (although it is the summer)?
15Two: What is the story team currently working on?
16Three: I heard that the movie was supposed to come out on August from the Lego Magazine, is this true?
17Four: Will Michael Dorn continue to voice Mata Nui in the other two movies (obviously, Mata Nui is going past 09)?
18Five: Would the movies do better if the characters were more like the sets or would they be alright as they were before? B. Do critics on BZPower expect more set depictions?
19And Six: Will there be any more promotions made through products like "Snack packs" or "Lego My Ego"?
20Thank you very much Greg.

22SKRALL 231) No 242) Northern Black Spikes 253) Generally executed. Makes for a better example 264) Don't know, have not seen him battle a Skrall warrior-class yet 275) He appears a little in the comics 286) Yes, anyone but Vorox can and does use vehicles.
29BOOKS, COMICS, SERIALS
301) Well, I personally see it as if they were working on the inner sections of the robot, there might not have been much light ... and they probably did not know what they were building, so they were "in the dark" that way too 312) The comic is Hydraxon vs. Pridak 323) No. We already went up to 20 page issues last year, with 16 pages of story (up from the standard 12). So no, no plans to make them bigger. If we make them too much bigger than that, we might not a) be able to glue strip them in and cool.gif postage costs would shoot up due to the weight. 334) Not at the moment
34FUTURE WORKS 355) I have two more things on my plate right now, last chapter of The Crossing (due 6/25) and the last comic story for the Papercutz Graphic Novel 8 (due 7/8). After that, I am done as far as freelance work goes. 362) Inactive at the moment. 2010 is done. 373) Yes, I saw a mention of that on here. All I know is the US release date is 9/15. I would be surprised if it is earlier in other countries, but can't say for sure yes or no. 384) I can't comment on this 395) Well, we'll see. The '09 movie is much closer to the set look than the other three were, so let's see if it does better. My guess is that if they are closer to the sets, Group A will complain, and if they are far from the sets, Group B will complain. It's impossible to please an entire fan base. 406) Not to my knowledge, but not my department, Co-Promotions handles that.
