1Okay, just to clarify what I asked a few days ago and put into the OGD:
21) In 2010 we will see Tahu Mata in the story, correct?
32) Story wise, Tahu Mata will be the only Toa Nuva to revert back into Mata form, correct? 42a) Story wise, can you tell us why he has reverted back into a Toa Mata and the others will not (If 2 is correct), or will we have to wait for the reason?
53) Will the other Toa Nuva be featured in the story?
64) Does the Toa Nuva's adaptive armor deactivate outside of the MU, or could it adapt to a planets environment as well?
75) The golden armor is canon, correct? 85a) (if 2 and 5 are correct) Is the golden Hau the same Hau Tahu wore before being transformed, or is it a new golden Hau? 95b) If it is a new Hau, does it have the same power as the first, or is it a regular golden Hau?
10Thank you in advance.
111) Yes 122) Far as I know, yes 132a) I can't go into that kind of detail ahead of time 143) Most likely not. They are present during the events, but I won't be dealing with them unless it is in web serial. 154) It could work there as well 165) Yes 175a) New 185b) Regular, but also part of a larger power that is tied to the full suit of armor.

19This is starting to get interesting. I wonder what the larger power will be. Maybe it has to do with the Valley of the Maze?
11) Stars as sets a canon. Their size is not. Therefore, Tahu goes Mata next year, and Gresh and Skrall get re-released. (Did they sell THAT well?)
2I work at the Lego Store in Annapolis and I can say that, yes, they do sell very well. Skrall is actually the set that sells the best out of the first wave of Glatorian. Gresh sells very well too, though he may be rereleased more for story reasons than sales.
3Sorry to get off topic there .
1Hi Mr. Farshtey. I just have a few questions.
21. In the short story The Kingdom, the alternate Takanuva sacrficed his Toa power to create new Toa. These Toa were: Kapura, Velika, Dalu, Defilak, Balta, &Tanma. Does this mean that all of the said Matoran have the potential to transform into Toa in the main universe (as the two were the same up until the events of Downfall)?
32. Do all Toa retain the elemental attributes they had as Matoran (e.g. Ta-Matoran have heat resistance, De-Matoran have sensitive hearing, Fe-Matoran have more physical endurance etc.)?
43. Will Vultraz make a story appearance ever again (I understand if you can't answer this)?
54. Some Makuta specialized in certain types of Rahi (Miserix in reptiles, Kojol in flying &marine, etc.). However, this does not mean that they restricted themselves to only creating species of their specialty, correct (e.g. Miserix did not only do reptiles)?
65. In The Mutran Chronicles, it is mentioned that Spiriah is unskilled at Rahi creation. Was this due to some sort of error in his creation? And does this trait apply only to him, or were other Makuta also capable of being insufficient creators?
7Thank you for your time.
8--Jovarr
91) Nope, because we have also seen alt. universes where people who are Toa in ours were not destined to become Toa. Different dimensions, different destinies. 102) Yes 113) Don't know at this point. 124) No, but it means they spent most of their time on what they were good at 135) He just wasn't good at it, the same way not all baseball players are good hitters.
14Oh well, so much for my theory about the Voyatoran. But at least there's still hope for Vultraz...
1I'd like to point out that, as far as I know, it is not confirmed that Tahu loses his Nuva powers. So far as I know, he just looks like a Toa Mata, he's not actually back to being a Toa Mata.
1Maybe Light Teridax has to do with Tahu's transformation. Or the Nuva Cube.

2I sent him a few more questions, I'll send this one in the next round, but as I read it he's Tahu Mata now, Page 220, post 2.
1Yeah, but it doesn't say he's a Mata again in any way except appearance. It's like the first Homeworld game: The Taiidani Scout looks very different from the Kushan Scout, but they are more or less identical in terms of capability.
2Yes, Tahu might be a Toa Mata again in every way, but I'm just saying that we really shouldn't be talking as though he is until we get proof that his Toa Mata state is more than skin-deep. Or... armor-deep, I guess.

1But we wouldn't be able to tell that much, would we? Nuva can only a) share mask powers (it's a Hau Olda, so that one's gone), 
do the time-bomb thing (possible), and c) use greater control over their element (possible). So if he looks like a Mata, it'd be simpler if he were a Mata. Because anyway, it's not a huge change outside of appearance.

1Hey Greg, i have some questions for ya
2Hey GregF,i got questions for ya.
31.About Tuma. Tuma got a very bad back injury,and did Mata Nui made it worse? 41a.Will Tuma die later on because of wounds from a back injury. 52.Does Tarduk play an important role next year. 63.Is Mata Nui sencond in command of the defense forces?Or does he have no involvement in the Defense forces? 74.Does Telluris only appear in the Crossing? 84a.Does Sahmad appear in the Crossing too. 95.Does the Blue Skadai have a real name,i mean Piraka does sound a bit silly for a name. 105a.Is it Nektann. 116.What happens to the Piraka?Do They die?Or are they swimming in the ocean. 127.When will see Brutaka again?
13Publisher Sugesstion 14Since Scholastic will not publish anymore books(no .). My new sugguestion for a new publisher is Harpercollins.Hope that works.
15Some Questions about you.
161.Which is your favorite superhero?. 172. If you would be able to write about a series about a comic book charcter,which one would it be?(I would love it you wrote Batman or Deadpool)
181) Yes 191a) I have no plans to kill him at this point 202) No, not really. 213) He has no involvement, he is busy with a quest of his own and is not hanging around the city 224) Yes 234a) No, he appears in November comic 245) Yes, he does, but the set name is Piraka because that is what Denmark wanted to call it 256) Hasn't been revealed yet 267) Soon, I hope 278) I don't think HC has any interest. The novels have not sold well in a while, for a variety of reasons, so that makes it a tough sell to other publishers. 281) Batman 292) Probably Batman or the Avengers
30So looks like Tuma could soon die of Coplications from back injury soon

Zakann GregF Toa_Takanuva 1Hello again GregF.
21: In BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn, we see the Mask of Life pass several planets, and end up making a 'U-turn' after passing a planet that looks like Jupiter. 3So here is my question; Could it be that the gravitational pull of the Jupiter-like planet grabbed a hold of the Mask of Life, and slingshotted the Mask in the opposite direction?
42: Is the Stars Piraka, the Skakdi Warlord Nektann?
BS01 Article on Skakdi 5Skakdi also have the ability to wear Kanohi, though most lack the mental discipline required to use a Mask of Power.
63: Would Nektann (the Skakdi Warlord) have the sufficient mental discipline needed to access the powers of a Kanohi?
BS01 Atricle on Skakdi 7Skakdi are known to chew and ingest their food, choosing to do so over the typical method of absorbing energy, as other inhabitants of the Matoran Universe view this act as repulsive.
84: Does this mean that other inhabitants of the Matoran Universe have the ability to ingest food like the Skakdi?
95: Of all of the Toa you have written about, who would you say is your favorite?
106: What would be the approximate height of an average Toa?
11Thank you for your time,
12-Toa_Takanuva
131) Combination of gravity and impacts sent it back to BM 142) You'll find out who it is in 2010 153) No 164) Rahi eat that way as well. 175) Kopaka 186) 7.2 feet
1hello Greg, i've got a few questions about the Bionicle Stars.
21) the six stars are Tahu Mata, Takanuva, a blue Skakdi, a heatvission Rahkshi, Gresh, and a Skrall, correct? 32) Is the Skrall a regular warior or some other type? (due to the green collor) 43) Does Tahu still have his Nuva powers? 54)storywise, do each of these beings posses the golden armor pieces to start, or did they have to aquier them? 65)is the blue Skakdi Nektan???
7also, i was thinking the Mega-city on Bara Magna could be called New Atero, as a tribute to the old city, and the fact that all the villages (minus Rock and Sand) are living there.
8thanks as always
91) Correct 102) Regular 113) No 124-5) Too early to discuss
13so Tahu IS mata, powers and all, and he won't say if the Skakdi is nektan...hmmmm
1hi Greg i am a big fan and i was wondering are all the stars going to be on the same planet in 2010? thank you for your time:]
1Shalom, Greg,
2It has been assumed by most people thats Tahu's Star form is his mata form, but the only real indication of this is his mask and overall appearance. Is Tahu's Star form actually related in any way to his Mata form, and how? 3Or is it just a mini set version, and can we assume, storywise that it is identical to the form depicted in the origional toy? And can we therefore assume that, storywise, the other Stars havent changed at all?
4If it is not his Mata form, what is the Star form? Is the change related to the adaptive armour? or Makuta Teridax? or the Mask of Life? Some cause we haven't heard of before?
5Though they clearly aren't sets, are the other Toa Nuva going to experience this change into Star form (whatever that form may be,) or just Tahu? If not, what happens to them in the meantime? what about the other glatorian? other skrall? other skakdi? other rahkshi?
6thanks,
7-Takhamavahu
81) It is his Mata form, and the size difference will not be canon. 92) No, they will not 103) I cannot discuss 2010 storyline. You will have to wait until then to find out what happens to other characters.
11It looks like we are meant to dosregard the apperance of the sets altogether and just imagine Tahu looks exactly as he did in 2001.
1QUOTE 2Hey greg just quickly is tahu's golden mask in the stars sets the same mask that lhikan and Jaller wore?
3Thanks, BioPunk
4No. Tahu's mask in 2010 is tied to the golden armor, and Lhikan's mask had no connection at all to golden armor.
5There goes that theory. The Golden Armor sounds like some kind of mystical object.
1i think the reason tahu is in his mata form is this
i added a spoiler just in case)
3and
4Q.can makuta enter rahkshi armour and control it?
5I would say no, because a Rahkshi is not a robot, it's not designed for independent movement. It's designed to be controlled by a kraata. So if there is no kraata in it, it's just a dead suit of armor and Makuta's mind in it could not make it move.
6I always thought it would work.

1Hi Greg
2I've got some questions and i apprecite it if you would answer them: 31a- Is the Piraka star Nektann? 41b- Is the star skrall supposed to be a normal class skrall or a different class?
52- And also another thing about the Hydruka that have been named (Thulox and Morak), did maybe named the matoran them after some other beings? Maybe some Toa? I ask because I don't see any of them to fit anymore in story and it would be a waste to let the names go in vain, and because of that I ask if Thulox was maybe named after the Toa that used the ignika that was part of Jovan's team and that they named the hydruka Thulox because he was also a sort of life saver, like the Toa, because he helped with 'harvesting' air bubbles and because he was red so he maybe was a Toa of Fire. An also because you probably aren't planning to telling their story.
6So in short: Can the Toa that used the Ignika be named Thulox and that he was a Toa of Fire? 72b- And can Morak than be another member of the team? Maybe a toa of water since that hydruka was blue?
8I hope that you at least consider this request, thank you for your time
91a) Not revealing who it is until 2010, no reason to do so 101b) Regular 112) I am really not that into everything being named after someone else. I think it makes things too confusing.
122- It seemed like a good idea to me
Greg TNTOS 1Hello, Mr. Farshtey. I have a question for you today concerning Strakk and his status at the moment. This is mostly for a short story I am writing starring Strakk, which takes place during and after the events of TLR.
21) You have said that Strakk was banished after nearly killing Ackar. But then just recently you have told another member that Strakk participated in the battle against the Skrall in the end of TLR (I am assuming he fought for the Glatorian and Agori here). It just seems to me that Strakk, being an exile, wouldn't be allowed to help or would perhaps decline to help the other Glatorian, so I'm a bit confused if Strakk really participated in the battle or not.
3So, did Strakk participate in the battle, even though he was banished, or not?
4Thanks for taking time off your busy schedule to answer the questions of BIONICLE fans like me
5-TNTOS-
61) Strakk does not get banished until after the events of the movie. Think about what happened after the fight with Ackar -- the attack on Tajun, and Tesara, the whole world is at war, Iconox did not have time to worry about disciplining Glatorian when the village was in danger of being overrun. Strakk got banished after the defeat of the Skrall.
7This kind of messes up my short story a little bit, but hey, I'll just say I'm writing in an alternate universe and be done with it. Good for those who want to know when Strakk was banished, though, I guess.

1hi Greg i am a big fan and i was wondering are all the stars going to be on the same planet in 2010? thank you for your time:]
2You need to PM GregF, as Greg doesn't come to this topic.
3The answer is probably yes, though, since Teridax is coming to Bara Magna.

6Click here.
1Bohrok would be antibiotics, though. Definitely antibiotics.
2No, Bohrok serve a purpose that has no biological analogy in humans. They clear off his face. Antibiotics don't do that.
3The one time that they served a purpose similar to antibiotics was because the Rahkshi didn't let them pass by.
4The Bohrok are his soap.
1hi Greg .
2i apologize for the random instances of lowercase. The shift key on this computer is, for some reason, broken. Decides to work on some letters, not on others.
3i had a quick question concerning the 'next movie.' i was just curious if it would be done by Tinsletown Toons again, or if somebody else would be doing this one.
4just curious. Either way i'll be getting it, heheh.
5Also, i have to ask, because i loved it so much. Did you have especial fun writing Raid on Vulcanus? Because it seemed remarkably awesome. As a bit of a writer myself, i know it's fun to sometimes switch it up with storylines, settings, and characters. ;D
6Thanks again.
71) Any movies coming out from LEGO for at least the next year will be by TT, yes, we have a contract with them. That includes anything non-BIONICLE. 82) I did have fun with ROV, more than I expected to actually. The new setting was fun to play in and I basically wrote the book as a Western.
9Dang, I was hoping maybe they'd go back to Creative Capers. I liked their stylization better...
10Oh, and I figured out that one shift key works and the other doesn't. Derrrrrp. xD
11@Roablin: ROFL . "This soap BURRRRNS ."
1Hey Greg
2I was wondering if there are any requirements for a being to wear the golden armor and use its powers.
3If so, would one of them be that the being has to be in his original form?
4-Thanks
5It's too early to discuss this, V. It's 2010 storyline.
6I'll have to remember to ask him again in a month or two, although the reason for Tahu's transformation will probably be figured out by then.
11. Was Stronius part of the raiding party on Atero? 22. Were all of Tuma's class of Skrall automatically named? 33. Why did the people of the Matoran Universe get air instead of Jungle for a power?
4Thanks, Greg.
5-Spawn of Teridax
61) Doubtful 72) Yes 83) Because there was a lot more need for air power than jungle power inside Mata Nui, as there wasn't a ton of plant life inside the robot
9Greg sent me a PM after that a second later with this.
10Also keep in mind that there ARE Matoran and Toa of Plant Life inside the MU, they simply aren't in green armor.
1i think the reason tahu is in his mata form is this
2tahu went to destroy enegized protodermis, something that made him a nuva, and might be able to reverse it. if tahu tries to destroy the energized protodermis, it will certainly get angry.
3and
4Q.can makuta enter rahkshi armour and control it?
5I would say no, because a Rahkshi is not a robot, it's not designed for independent movement. It's designed to be controlled by a kraata. So if there is no kraata in it, it's just a dead suit of armor and Makuta's mind in it could not make it move.
6I always thought it would work.
7Tahu isn't that way because of EP, that's been confirmed.
8- Tilius
1Again, another Tahu question to straighten things out:
21) Tahu Stars will be the same Tahu from 2001-2009, correct? He is not an alternate universe Tahu or a clone, correct?
32) How much of the story is currently planed? How far could the story go w/ the amount of idea's for Bionicle?
43) Is the golden armor full of awesomeness?
51) Correct 62) We can always come up with new ideas. Lack of ideas will never cause the end of BIONICLE. 73) Follow the story and find out
Now we 4 normal Toa Nuva, Tahu, Taka and half of Lewa. Makuta's never going down......(Stalks off to room)
