1one last thing:
2it seems more obvious to me that mata nui and the Great Beings would meet again to undo the shattering in a point that both know.
3Not necessarily. Mata Nui knew what we had to do and no GB came to tell him. It stands to reason that, should the 100,000 trip had gone without incidents, Mata Nui would have attempted to undo the Shattering even if the GBs hadn't showed up.
1Fellow BZpers, this is getting off-topic . Please stop . Continue this matter elsewhere. I don't think anybody here wants this topic to get closed.
1Hey GregF, just some questions. 21. Was the Prototype Robot never meant to be reassembled since the Third Robot would have been inhabited by Mata Nui? 35. Is Takutanuva considered a Toa? 46. Can he perform a Nova Blast? 58. Are the inhabitants of the Red Star aware of Mata Nui and/or the Matoran Universe? 6Thanks for your time.
71) Correct. 85) I would say no 96) Yes 108) Yes
1Wouldn't a light and shadow novablast just cancel itself out?
1Dear Greg,
2If the great beings never built the third robot and never intended for the prototype robot to be used to fix bara magna, then how did the great beings intend for mata nui and makuta to fix the planet with only one robot?
3Thanks, 4Auto
5They didn't, Auto -- they intended to build another robot. Something obviously prevented them from doing it.
6Something prevented the GB from making the third robot. Wonder what it was?

1The Shattering was why they needed the third robot, though.

1Guys, we're getting off topic......Just got this from GregF....
2Hello, Mr.Greg. I hope you're doing well today. I just had a few questions I wanted to ask...1. In TLR, the Skrall and Bone Hunters only growl, not talk. Is this the Bone Hunters' language, or something else?2. In TLR the Skrall only show up at the end of the movie. Why is that?3. Why were the villains shown as dumb beasts.4. Do we know the fate of Metus after he was turned into a snake by Mata Nui?5. Since Tahu is a Mata now, did his power level drop?6. What is the fate of Clik after the latest comic. Does he return to his home with other Scarbax?7. The last comic will have a sold, not to be continued ending, right?Thank you. I hope I am not bothering you.31) It's a dialect.2) Because that is how the script was written. I wasn't the screenwriter. But I can tell you that from the start, the movie was supposed to be focusing on Mata Nui and his growth as a character, it wasn't intended to be a movie about the Skrall.3) I assume you are asking why they didn't talk. My guess would be to save money on hiring voice actors, #1, and #2, it wasn't intended to be a movie focusing on the villains and their motivations. It was a movie about Mata Nui.4) Well, if you knew, you wouldn't be asking the question, right? No, we haven't gone into it. My guess is he is fighting to survive.5) Yes6) My guess is that Click is hanging out with the other Glatorian, as opposed to going back to his own people.7) No, it's not "to be continued" because there is no place to continue it, since there won't be more comics.
1Thanks for the info on the Third Robot . Seems to have intrigued BZP quite a bit. I have a few questions regarding the implications of its planned existence:
21) Was Teridax destined to inhabit the MU bot, or the Third bot? 32) In the alternate universe Vezon visits in Reign of Shadows, it is implied Mata Nui completed his mission. Does the Third robot exist in this universe? 43) If the Makuta had never rebelled against Mata Nui, would Mata Nui have been unable to complete his mission anyways? (Since the Third bot was never built in the main story) 54) Was the GB's failure to build the robot a result, directly or indirectly, of the Makuta's rebellion? 65) Can you confirm that Mata Nui's round trip across the universe was meant to buy the GBs time to build the Third robot? (Along with gathering knowlege) 75a) Was part of his information gathering meant to help the GBs build the Third Robot?
81) MU bot 92) I don't believe so, no 103) He could have done just what he did in this one, rebuild and power up the prototype 114) Nothing to do with Makuta. Remember, Makuta's major act of rebellion was 1000 years ago, 99,000 years after the GBs launched Mata Nui. So nothing that happens in the MU impacts them at all, since they are not in the MU. 125) No, that was not the intent. The intent was for him to learn from other civilizations so that the societal breakdown that took place on Spherus Magna would not happen again on a restored Spherus Magna. It didn't take the GBs 100,000 years to build Mata Nui, so why would they have needed 100,000 years to build another robot?

13Hm. I guess that means that there is other life out there. Interesting. Maybe we can learn a little about it in one of the serials next year.
14Although the problem with sending a 40 million foot tall robot to do what is essentially recon is that he's not inconspicuous. Everyone would notice, and their behaviors would change.
15Off-topic: I can't believe I'm quoted in your sig . That rocks.
1i has answers . yay .
15pretty interesting,huh?
2hi. i have 4 questions. 31. could ink be an element? 41a.if so, what gender would Toa of Ink be? 51b.would there be an elemental tribe for it? 62. could there be BIONICLE equivilants to superheroes besides Toa? 73.Who is your favorite superhero? 84.What is your favorite emoticon? 9thanks, 10
111) Ink doesn't exist in the Matoran universe, so no. They do all their writing by carving into stone. 122) Not that I am aware of, unless you count the Order of Mata Nui 133) Batman 144) Don't have one
15pretty interesting,huh?
1Hi Greg, I would like to say you are a great writer. I hope you continue to flourish in your good works .
2Now I have some questions for you:
31) When the armor of adaptive armor changes, does it change automaticlly, or does the user have to want to have his armor adapt
42) Since Nektann has sided with Teridax, is Nektann of more importance to Teridax than the other Skakdi?
53) Are the Nuva the only ones who have adaptive armor?
64) On the Tahu Stars set, there is a new piece of armor on the from of his chest, and one on one side of each of his arms. Can these pieces of armor be classified as to what Adaptive armor looks like in its neutral form?
75) I know how Glatorian come into being probably wont be discussed, but people from the MU are "born" by appearing randomly when they are needed, right?
86) Are the beings in the red star of a species that we know of in the BIONICLE universe already?
97) Is the species of the red star something that members have speculated on, but you haven't revealed to us yet?
10Happy Holidays .
11-GJ
121) Automatically. Remember, the Nuva had no idea what their armor could do. If the armor had to wait for them to go, "Make me fly" when they popped into Karda Nui, they would have all fallen to their deaths. 132) No, because Nektann leads a whole troop of Skakdi, so they are fighting for Teridax as well. 143) Yes 154) Yes 165) No. They don't just "appear" from nowhere. 176) No 187) Well, if I had revealed it, you would already know what they were and wouldn't need to ask, right?
19Some new info, including what adaptive armor looks like.
1Its nice to finally get a picture of what the armor looks like.
1YAY . . I have 2 adaptave Tahus

20Well that doesn't work, because Takanuva has the same piece on his chest, and he doesn't have AA.
1Toa Iranu: Those can be classified as his "Nuva" armour. Tahu never had that kind in his Mata form.
2-GRESHIOS
3But it's still kind of ridiculous to say that that is what AA looks like in its standard form when Takanuva has the exact same piece. Unless you're suggesting that it is simply representing the same Nuva style armor that Takanuva originally had, and that the AA's default form reverts back to the original Nuva armor, which still makes little sense.

4Greg did say back in 08 that were the Nuva to return to Metru Nui, canonically they would revert to their Nuva armor. Meaning that Nuva armor is the default. So I think that's the truth we can accept.
5But anyway, since when do pieces determine canon? By that logic, Nidhiki is a Vahki. So really, the AA could be that piece, and it would be something different on Takanuva. There's nothing wrong with that.
1Right.
1Hey Greg, I was a little confused about the third robot that the GBs were going to build.
2So what stopped the GBs from building it?
3And is Teridax a Great Spirit?
4If the GBs did build the third robot where is it?
5Where are the GBs? Bota Magna?
6And I saw on here that there was summer 2010 sets. Can you explain this?
7Thank you so much for your time .
81) Hasn't been revealed 92) No 103) They didn't build it 114) I can't discuss this 125) I believe you are referring to a quote from Binkmeister about people not having seen all the year's sets. He was referring to the new line, not to BIONICLE. There are no BIONICLE sets after the Stars sets in January.
13Hey Greg
141. When will the alternate Teridax be shown again in RoS?
152. Is the alternate Teridax's Kraahkan gold or white?
163.Which way does the alternate Teridax wear his Kraahkan? Normal or like Icarax?
17Thank you for your dedication to bionicle .
181) Don't know 192) I believe it was described as white 203) No idea, not something I have thought about
1Iben's quote from April states that the Kraahkan was gold.
1Hey, Greg. Hope you're doing well.
2I just got Makuta's Guide To The Universe the other day, and I was wondering if there was any possibility of Mata Nui's Guide To Bara Magna being released in the US. 3Personally, I thought the Makuta Guide was such a great guide, which was better than any of the others written, as it included more detail in the information. Plus, the Teridax's Diary entries were a nice touch, as was the Matoran Universe map. 4So, has there been any talk of this, or is it going to remain a Europe-exclusive book?
5Also, just out of curiosity, is there any possibility that you could use some loophole to revive Zaktan (such as his consciousness existing in one or two protodites that began to constantly multiply), or is he permanently dead at this point?
61) Yes, there have been discussions about it. Last I heard, Papercutz was talking about doing a smaller, soft-covered version in the US. 72) No, pretty sure he is genuinely dead.
8Sent this out earlier this month, but never got around to posting it.
9My thoughts: 101) Smaller? Hope that doesn't mean watered-down, but simply the actual size of the guide. 112) Dang.... =/
1Greg,
22a.if so how does EP stabilize it?
32a) Basically, by constantly mutating the energy produced into a more stable form
4Does this mean that if Tahu or anyone had succeeded in destroying all Energized Protodermis that the MU would become as unstable as the Proto-Bot and eventually explode?
5-VK-
6Yup
7Yeah, this is pretty cool when you think about it.
8-VK-

11. What can a Rahkshi of Heat Vision do with his staff? 22. Does a Rahkshi of Heat Vision use his eyebeams more often than his staff? 33. Will we see a Rahkshi of Heat Vision use his staff in the last comic or Journey's End?
41) I haven't decided, since it is not coming up in story 52) Eyebeams 63) No
1Too bad.....

7Possibly like an amplifier? Like the Rahkshi stares into the end of the staff and it channels it out in the direction the staff pointed? That seems logical.
1So?
1Right.
2So?
3Maybe you should make more meaningful posts...
4Anyway, lord of ice was just pointing out that Greg now has two things he would change. Previously the answer to that question was always the Vakama bit. It's just interesting to see a new answer to a question that we have seen repeated for years.
1Oh. I was in a hurry, so I didn't elaborate.
