1Hello, Just had a Question.
21. Is the cave with the opening wall from TLR ( the one that kiina said belonged to her) the same place angonce was walking through in the 1st chapter of Journey's end?
32. if so, Was that cave made by the great beings to use as a base or something? There was a drawing of the mata nui robot in there....
43. is it possible that they did all their experiments etc there?
5Thank you for answering .
6The cave was a Great Beings' facility, but it wasn't where Angonce was in the book. Angonce was in the GB fortress.
1Seriously, it's not that big of a deal. Spherus Magna was "destroyed" when it was shattered, wasn't it? Spherus Magna itself ceased to exist, but it split into the three other Magnas. Same thing for Nocturn's island; the original island split in half, and ceased to exist; it became the two other islands.
2And furthermore... how does this even affect story? I'm pretty sure the result would be the same if Nocturn destroyed his island or split it in half: he'd be exiled to the Pit.

3I totally agree.
1Hi Greg,
2Journey's End looks to be epic. Had a couple questions about you for it.
31) Is Angonce in a position of authority over his fellow GBs? 42) The great northern forest referred to is Bota Magna, yes? 53) The fortress in which Angonce gazes out at Spherus Magna is the Valley of the Maze fortress, yes?
6Also had a few questions for you on behalf of another member.
74) Stars Takanuva has different armor that Toa Takanuva. Could an explanation be his armor changed to the Stars form after he shrunk leaving Karda Nui, or he found new armor with his staffs. 85) Stars Rahkshi has different armor as well, conflicting with an image of a Heat-Vision Rahkshi in Comic 16. Could an explanation be that each Makuta's Kraata creates an unique suit of Rahkshi armor, and the 03 Rahkshi are Teridax's version of the armor. 96) Does the Prototype Robot have tractor beams? 107) Did Lhikan base his Toa look off Dume? (In other words did Dume have the Metru Nui body type?
11I am asking as a favour to this person, but can I anticipate that your answers to 4 and 5 are just set design discrepancies that don't really affect story?
12Thanks again for your time.

151) No 162) Yes 173) Yes 184-5) Yes, these are set design issues, not story issues. 196) Not that I know of, no 207) No idea. I don't know what Dume looked like as a Toa.
21Meh. Some BS01 Stuff. :3
1We know Lhikan wasn't on Metru Nui as a rookie (he was guarding the Makoki Stone), so we have no guarantee Lhikan ever even saw Toa Dume as a Matoran.

2Around 17,500 years ago, Lhikan was a simple craftsman who at one point was rescued from danger by a Toa of Fire named Dume. Dume later had a hand in Lhikan's transformation into a Toa.3- BS01
4I beg to differ. Lhikan as a matoran did see Dume as a toa.
1Huh. When was that said?

5I believe Legacy of Evil when it showed Lhikan as a rookie toa.

2Hi Greg:
3We've been wondering about Bohrok at the Official Transformations Topic. If a Bohrok can be devolved by the Ignika, then:
41. What happens to its soul during the transformation? 51a. If it leaves the body or disapears, then would it somehow come back if the Bohrok was devolved?
62. Are Bohrok technically undead?
73. Do the Av-Matoran die when they are transformed?
8Thanks .
9I see the transformation as being akin to a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. We have never said the Matoran's spirit leaves the Bohrok, simply that the Bohrok loses its identity as a Matoran because it no longer needs it. It is effectively repressed. So if you devolve the Bohrok, the identity is no longer repressed.
1The Dume &Lhikan thing came from the BIONICLE Encyclopedia (both original and updated).

11Those poor Matoran souls that got killed.

12They weren't killed; they transformed into robots and their spirits are repressed. Technically, they are alive--just without an individual identity.

13Yeah, they were still alive, right until the toa blew them up.
1Wait, so when the Matoran transformed, did they die, or were their spirits there even when they were robots? 
1Wouldn't that mean the Toa Mata have effectively killed several Av-Matoran?
1That's what I'm saying . And what about those poor Kal, your a Matoran, then you get transformed into a Bohrok, then you get mutated, then you either get hurled up into space, melted, crushed, crumpled, zapped, or blasted to death . This should probably be moved to the life processes topic though...
1Seriously, it's not that big of a deal. Spherus Magna was "destroyed" when it was shattered, wasn't it? Spherus Magna itself ceased to exist, but it split into the three other Magnas. Same thing for Nocturn's island; the original island split in half, and ceased to exist; it became the two other islands.
2And furthermore... how does this even affect story? I'm pretty sure the result would be the same if Nocturn destroyed his island or split it in half: he'd be exiled to the Pit.
3Well, it all started when I saw the two small islands just above Odina that look like they could have once fit together, and having heard only that Nocturn split his home island in two, I decided it would fit his homeland perfectly. Apparently that didn't lead to happiness.

4I personally have no problem with it.
1I think it works. Of course, I also think the Tahu/Ackar thing was a brillient idea...
1It'd be stated as a split then.
2A good example is something I had to do recently. I renewed my debit card with a newer one, and the other has to be "destroyed". If I just used scissors and but it in half, that's not going to cut it (actually, ID theft waiting to happen). Destroying it would thoroughly break it apart until it is indistinguishable from what it was prior. In terms of an island, there would be no island (s) left.
3If it was initially stated a split, then it'd work. Substituting destroy with split doesn't work, thus yet another rewritten part (if inadvertently) which shouldn't have happened.

1Wait, so when the Matoran transformed, did they die, or were their spirits there even when they were robots?
2Bohrok still have Matoran spirits, they're just inactive.
3"Oh, hey . A couple of our friends are in comas . Let's rip their bodies apart and make vehicles out of them . After all, there's a really low chance of them waking up again, so it doesn't really matter, right?"

5As stated before, Nuparu and co. had no way to know that the Bohrok were once Av-Matoran.
1I know, I know, it's just that the whole idea is... well, disgusting. 
1I have a few questions regarding some Elements' colors. You see, BS01 has both blue and white listed as primary colors for Lightning, and both blue and gold as primary for Psionics. However, they have nothing for the secondary colors. So, I'm wondering wether any of these colors are supposed to be secondary colors for their elements
2Yes. White is the secondary color for lightning, and gold is the secondary color for psionics.
3Off to Bs01 I go...
4Ah, but the debit card would still exist just in minuscule pieces, in order to be destroyed it would have to be deconsructed at the atomic level. 5Also, Spherus Magna no longer exists but it's three parts Bara, Bota and Aqua Magna do, same principle in relation to Nocturn's Homeland, the island itself no longer exists but it's parts do.1It'd be stated as a split then.

1Atomic level isn't required. Destroyed just naturally indicates far more than just a split. With the way originally worded, it wouldn't apply to that island. If we saw a scattered group of rocks, then that would be a reasonable location for the former island.
1So after reading a few of these posts... 2Blue is the color for water, lightning, and psionics? 3and green is the color for air and plantlife? 4Wow if it weren't for secondary colors a lot of matoran would have indistinguishable elements...
5Oh and I am commenting on Greg's replies so this shouldn't be off topic... I hope

2One of the Barraki used the term "split" in one of the books. Split has been used.
1And it meant in half, not crumbled into little bits making it entirely unrecognizable, which would be destroy.
1Hi Greg
2Any word on an UK release for Journey's End? I believe you said it was coming out but I can't find it anywhere
3Thanks
4TN,
5It's not being published as a book in the UK. It's being published on the UK BIONICLE.com website. Prologue should be up on the site already. The only country I know for sure it is being published as a book in in is Poland.
6Aww, I really wanted a nice copy of the final book
1Let's not forget the other part of the argument on the split/destroy thing: IT DOESN'T MATTER . . 2If you irrepairably damaged your home island, would it matter if it was totally destroyed or just split in half? Nope. You'd be sent to the nearest jail, in this case the Pit. 3Can we call this discussion over?
1first of all, thanks for having us fans able to ask you questions even if we are seemingly bossy.
21. completely hypothetical here, but if a battera made it's arm a machine gun, would it be generating bullets, have no bullets, or be shooting parts of itself?
3thank you for your time.
4I would say that it could not do that, because you require an internal process to produce the combustion to shoot a bullet, and the baterra could not replicate that process.
5i asked that cause it always thought it would be hilarious to have a battera saying ow every time it fired a shot.
1What can a Toa of Magnetism do that a Toa of Iron cannot?
2Quite a bit. For example, a Toa of Magnetism could use his power to allow himself to fly. A Toa of Iron cannot. A Toa of Magnetism can form a magnetic force barrier around himself that can repel physical attack, yet he can see through it and still move. A Toa of Iron could form a metal wall around himself to do the same thing, but he can't see through it, can't move with it up, and it can be melted. Etc., etc. Magnetism affects metal, but it is way different than a power of metal.
3Interesting. What sorts of things can raw magnetic force be used for, besides making barriers? Can it be shot as an energy blast?
4Sure. A Toa of Magnetism would even be able to control your blood flow, since there is iron in your blood.
1how could it control your bloodflow? the iron is in your hemoglobine and in other proteins, but that doesn't control your bloodflow. at best, they would force the hemoglobine to a halt, basically depriving you of oxygen without choking

2The hemoglobin would stick together forming multiple clots throughout the blood stream, your blood would not be able to move, resulting in strokes, heart failure, and everything else that comes with no blood flow.
