1EDIT: I guess I'd better put this in a spoiler tag, since it has MoMN's name...
2Yay, questions .
- 3In Dark Mirror, does Jaller still wear his Komau?
- 4Why didn't the Toa Nuva, Turaga, Matoran, etc. call Teridax by his real name?
- 5Is there anywhere in the Bio-Planet other than the Surface World and the Domed Matoran Universe?
- 8Since Metru Nui is the northernmost island, does that mean it is at/close to the North Pole?
- 9Are there any Fohrok in any of the major locations (i.e. Metru Nui, Karda Nui, Voya Nui, etc.)?
101) Jaller would be wearing the mask he wore prior to the Hau 112) Because they don't know it. Teridax never shared it with them, because he sees no reason to share his true name with inferiors. 123) I don't understand your question ... what other kind of places do you have in mind? 134-5) I can't discuss this 146) No. You are forgetting that the domed universe is different from the planet itself. The planet is much bigger than the domed universe. 157) No.

1I don't get it either. Maybe it runs on there energy or somthing, but I just don't know
2You just have to keep in min what Makuta wanted to do with the Matoran. He wanted tof the City of the Great Spirit would follow a Makuta. You might argue that he tried to apply something like "Sound body sound mind". Now when their bodies are weakened their mind would be more easy to access and to make them believe Makuta is the saviour.

3No, what I ment was I didn't get what the shere did with the energy, did it just take it or does it use it for something, but thamks anyways
1Stuff I got from the Big Man today. 2hello, sorry to bother, heres some unanswered thoughts of mine. 31:Will we learn of the Unnamed Skakdi? 42
81) What unnamed Skakdi? 92) No one knows, not even Zaktan 103) Sure. He will be firing light bursts all over the place, so why wouldn't they? 114) I don't know if I am naming him or not, may not be necessary to do
121)13Known Skakdi
23from BS01. 242)will it be revieled .? 254)Darn .
26A new question: 27N1)What are Antroz's, Chirox's, and Vamprah's regions? 28N2)Who's the Makuta who cost the Dark Hunter Krekka his eye, and the Makuta against whom Conjurer used his powers,who are they? .?
29Thanks for your time.
302) I doubt it 31N1) I haven't revealed them yet, but will before March is over. 32N2) The Conjurer one probably won't get revealed, the Krekka one will later this year
33I hope we do find his name and what he looks like.
11: Is it possible that we will see Lhikan back again in one of the serials??? 22: Will Karzahni return in one of the serials. 33: Was MOMN the leutanant of Miserix? 44: I like Mutran very much but I don't understand the reason for him to get Vican as his assistant. 55: Is it possible that Kardas is going to reappear in one of the serials. 66: Who would you say of the Bionicle characters that is the most Nazgul like? (if you now them). 77: Who are you favorite Toa's, Villians and Rah 88: Will Nocturn stay at Ehleks side or will he go on it's own now 2 of the Barraki are missing and Hydraxon on the loose? 99: Is Axonn aware of the fact that Brutaka is again in service of the OoMN. 1010: considering that Antroz leads the attack party in KN and the Mutran created the SL can I assume that they are the makuta the MOMN trusts the most? 1111: Antroz is summoning Icarax if I am right, is that because the coming of the Toa Ignika.
121) The only he could possibly show up would be MC, since he's dead, and right now I don't have plans for that. 132) Doubtful 143) Yes 154) Why? Most scientists have assistants, to do the work they don't have time for. Why would Mutran be any different? 165) Doubtful 176) No idea who Nazgul is 187) Kopaka, Makuta, and don't have favorite Rahi 198) Most likely Nocturn will stay with someone who will tell him what to do. 209) No 2110) "Trust" is not part of a Makuta's vocabulary 2211) No.
23Hmm, wonder why they would summon icarax then. Will have to wait for Legends 9 then. Really hope that lhikan will show op in MC. hmm, so the Makuta won't trust eachother, why form a Brotherhood then?
1well, who said they came together, they we created to be together. if they were apart then on more than one occasion they would fight, and it wouldn't be pretty.
1I received GregF's reply to the below PM over a month ago... I guess I was just too lazy to post it.
45My thoughts:
461) Aw... too bad. 472) I... think I understand now. 483) Just making sure that it was part of Sidorak's anatomy, not a breathing apparatus. 493b) Thought so. 503c) Bummer. 514) I wonder why not? 525) See #4. 536) So the Order seems to be aware of the breaching of the Pit now...? 547) I guess then it's safe to say that Greg had no affiliation whatsoever with the Wall of History, neither animations nor reports. 558) Ah, yes. Should've seen that coming. 569) Just hypothetical... 5710) Oh, good. Glad they haven't torn each other apart... they were just so awesome characters. 5810b) Right, so that's why Carapar was chosen, not Ehlek. 5911) Who designs these things, anyways? 6012) I see. 6112b) Oh, so that's how come Takua didn't stumble upon his Av-Matoran abilities 'by accident'... 6213) Just asking. 6314) Just curious. 6415) Just wondering.
2Hey, Greg. Sorry to bother you with more questions, but there's a few questions I'd like to ask, some relating to BL8, and some relating to other things.
31. I heard that Hydraxon was going to fight Nocturn a second time in BL8. Was this misinformation, or was the fight cancelled/removed?
42. I'm having trouble linking Into the Darkness with BL8. Into the Darkness begins with Matoro and Makuta swimming into the Pit, and it leads up to Matoro freezing Makuta, an event that happens in BL8. At what point do Matoro and Makuta go into the Pit?
53. The other members of Sidorak's species, like the trader seen in FoF Chapter 2, do they have the "breathing apparatus" thing that Sidorak has, as seen in the set and movie? 63b. I'm assuming the beings that Takadox hypnotized into jumping of the boat in that chapter are other members of Krekka's species, right? 73c. Will the species names of Sidorak and Krekka's species be revealed?
84. What does Mahri mean in the Matoran language?
95. What does Karda mean in the Matoran language?
106. Since the original Hydraxon is dead, but the new Hydraxon has little memory of his life as Dekar and has the personality, skills, and memory of the original Hydraxon, wouldn't the Order of Mata Nui consider the new Hydraxon a replacement of the old one? I thought I heard somewhere that the Order was unaware of the Pit's flooding and Hydraxon's death (or else they'd tell Botar to drop new prisoners off somewhere else).
117. I know you weren't involved with the Flash Animations that accompanied the updates, but did you write the "reports" of the Wall of History back in 2002-2003?
128. As far as you and the story team know, there aren't any ghosts, apparations, or spirits in the BIONICLE Universe, right?
139. Is the axis of the BIONICLE Planet tilted at an angle? In other words, do the islands outside the Domes experience seasons? 149b. I know this is far-fetched, but if the axis is tilted, would the islands within the Domes experience seasons?
1510. I know that they are trapped in the waters surrounding the Pit until further notice, but how are things going for Ehlek, Pridak, Kalmah, and Mantax? Have they already torn each other apart yet? 1610b. What made the Order choose to pick Takadox and Carapar of the six Barraki to be part of the Strike Team? I would've thought it a bit more ironic and interesting if they chose Ehlek to be part of the Strike Team, considering his species was altered for combat against the Brotherhood then "scrapped".
1711. The Matoran on Spiriah's back, why does he not wear a Kanohi?
1812. I heard that the Av-Matoran were "prototypes" for Matoran. What differences do they have? For example, they can shoot blasts of their element with their hands; what else can they do that "normal" Matoran cannot? Function without a Kanohi, maybe? 1912b. I know he simply did not realize he could, but why did Takua never discover by "accident" that he could shoot light blasts?
20Moving on to non-BIONICLE LEGO questions...
2113. Do you write the story for Mars Mission? 2213b. If yes, what is the name of the alien ship that comes with the Claw Tank? It is not named in the set, nor in the CrystAlien Conflict game. 2313c. If yes, I know Mars Mission is completely unrelated to Life on Mars, but what is the canon explanation for the current status of the Martians from Life on Mars?
2414. Can you confirm whether or not Alpha Team or Ogel will be returning in 2008? I know it wouldn't be under the theme name "Alpha Team," you already established that, but will there be another theme this year, whose characters are named Ogel, Dash, TeeVee, etc.?
2515. Can you confirm that if Indiana Jones becomes a successful LEGO theme, we will not see Johnny Thunder again?
26Thank you in advance.
271) I had no room for it. 282) After Matoro's fight with Pridak 293) Sidorak did not have a breathing apparatus that I know of, he could breathe air 303b) Yes 313c) Probably not, it's not relevant to the story right now 324-5) No official meanings have been revealed 336) They were unaware of it, but remember, Brutaka has been down there and has heard what was going on down there. So don't be sure the OOMN doesn't know more. 347) No. 358) We don't do ghosts, because then you are getting into life beyond death and that gets you into religion 369) I don't have info on this 3710) No, they have no reason to do so. Takadox is gone, the one they really wanted to kill, and with the Ignika gone, there is nothing to fight over. 3810b) But Ehlek is so alien that he just wouldn't fit into the team. Pridak and Kalmah would not take orders from anyone, and Mantax would not work with Takadox, so Carapar was the logical choice. 3911) Cause the set designer did not give him one 4012) They are bigger and stronger, they have additional powers when linked to a Toa, and they have some control over elemental energy 4112b) Because control of all that is blocked off along with knowledge of his identity. 4213) No 4314) No 4415) No one at LEGO Company has ever said that to me or written it that I have read, so no, I can't confirm it.

24omg 25greg was wrong
26dumakuta (makuta as dume) said
27trust in me and all of your problems will end
28GREG WAS WRONG . . 29THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END . .
1he means they wouldn't ever say that they 'trusted' anyone
1I think the Makuta just don't trust others. That doesn't mean others don't trust them sometimes.
1Hello, Mr. Farshtey, I have a few questions for you.
21) Which Mistika is the one who knocked out Krekka's eye?
32) Gorast's head resembles that of a Visorak, does this have any connection to her conquering of the horde?
43) Who (besides Antroz) leads the Mistika Makuta?
54) Are the riders of Rockoh T3, Jetrax T6, and Axalara T9 Pohatu, Antroz, and Lewa.
65) On BS01, it says that MoMN's status is alive. But a while back it said unknown. Did you release his status at some point?
76) What's the point of having the Good Guy and Bad Guy sets?
87) Does the word Bionicle mean anything to the Matoran, Skadi, Makuta, etc?
98) Have you ever been featured in any type of televison media?
108a) Have you ever thought of it?
11Thanks for your time .
121) Hasn't been revealed yet 132) No 143) Krika leads the swamp contingent 154) Yes 165) That is most likely based on Bionicle Legends #9, which just came out 176) They are promotional items in Europe, and serve the same purpose there that McDonald's toys do here -- to raise awareness of the line. Remember, EU does not get the comics outside of the web site and only recently started getting the books, so whether something is in story or not is not as big an issue to most fans there as it is here. 187) To the Matoran, it does, yes, since we have heard Turaga Vakama use it in the movies 198) Not for BIONICLE, no. I did a panel show once years ago when I was a sportswriter, but it was only one appearance.
20Comments: 211) Dang 222) There goes my theory... 233) I knew it . 244) I actually knew that for a while... 255) So27is still alive. 286) I wish the US had those26Teridax297) I didn't think that was canon... 308)Wow, I didn't no Mr. Farshtey was on TV...
31Wait, Greg was on T.V. He was on the Web of Shadows dvd.

30That's a DVD, though. Not really TV. Doesn't really count.
1Maybe someones interested in this: 
26) BTW did the story team have the master plan since 2001 or did the plan undergo substantial changes to fit with the latest storyline? 36) The plan underwent fairly substantial changes around 2005 or so -- nothing that altered anything that had gone before. But the original idea Bob Thompson had was that Makuta would basically destroy the universe if he couldn't rule it, and I didn't see it that way -- someone that egomaniacal is not going to commit suicide -- so I reimagined the plan.
4Follow up: 56) Oh ok, so the original plan of the Makuta was to make Mata Nui fall asleep. In the meantime they tried to rule the universe (like MoMNs attempt with the Matoran pods and the Vahi showed in 2004). However they did not succeed and would have decided to eventually destroy the universe at some point so nobody else can rule it? 6To be honest I am glad you changed that plan. I agree that the Makuta would not want such a situation to happen but want revenge for being not credited by the Matoran. I am anxious to see what the "new" plan really is about and I hope to be able to unveil it somehow
. 76) Yes, the original idea was kind of cliche ... and it really leaves you with nowhere to go story-wise, except "Toa foil another plot to destroy the universe." The genesis of the change was really BA #10, and the reimagining of Makuta as a much more cunning villain with the ability to do complex and far-reaching plans that took setbacks into account. His ultimate plan is, while despicably evil, frankly beautiful in its sheer audacity and its ability to plan for and manipulate so many disparate forces and events.

1We already knew they weren't trying to destroy the universe though as Greg said killing themsleves wasn't part of the plan. 
1Hey Greg, I had a few questions for you. Here they are...
21.Will Vezon ever get a weapon or a tool? 32.Will we be seeing Rahksii in the storyline again? 43.Will the Barraki(besides Takadox and Carapar) ever make another appearance, or are they just gonna be down there, in the pit? 5(a) If so, will Lesovvik and Sarda be making an appearance with them? 6(b)Same as question a, except this time I'm wondering about Hydraxon 74.Isn't Lewa's Miru pretty much useless because of his two jetpacks? 85.Last question, will you be revealing who of the summer Makuta fought Krekka anytime soon?
9Thanks Greg, I really appreciate it. It's OK if you don't answer question 5, cuz that's spoilers.
101) We'll see 112) They just showed up briefly in the biocast 123) I don't have plans for them at the moment. They got a ton of screen time last year, so I don't feel pressured to show them again so soon. 134) No. His mask makes it easier for him to maneuver 145) It will be revealed, not soon
15WOW

1Is there any new info about the next Bionicle movie? Like when it will be released? Please?
1comical and scary . We would destroy us all .
1rather give him throwing daggers.
1We'll see just implies that Greg himself doesn't really know. It would be interesting, though.
1Hi, its me(makuta of xhini nui) here (again). I was just wondering where I could post non-bionicle short stories. thanks.

3Completely off Topic is the place you want, however, this does not belong here, but in New Member Q&A. This topic is for the discussion of questions for Greg and the answer's that he gives through PM.
