5Because they're after all a Makuta's weapons. And the only "real" ones he used in his grand final mission. I think that deserves a name. And by extension, a page since we have images, an example usage, a teeny bit of history and a name. I don't have any books other than the first and last ones so can't say anything about quotes.

1Eh...I think 'Fang Blades' was used for Hordika Matau's weapons. Maybe 'Fang Claws'?
2Oh yes, I thought Matau used weapons that were named only something similar. Fang Claws actually work even better for me.
3Yeah, come to think of it, I'm going with this now
. And remember, Mata Nui's sword was just called "Sword," so, yeah. 4X-Ray.

8I am The Doctor.
1This question has been bugging me for a while, and I'd thought I'd ask you about it.
2Suppose there is a Toa of Shadows locked into a dark room. The room is completely made of stone and is miles under ground. There is absolutely no light what so ever in the room.
3My question is, if the Toa of Shadows started absorbing the shadows, would he therefore have an unlimited power supply? Or does BIONICLE physics say that when ever shadow is absorbed, light fills it's place even though there is no light source?
4
5Here's the thing -- if you absorb your element, you usually have to release the power right after because your body can't contain it. You can't use it to recharge your elemental abilities, it doesn't work that way. Plus a Toa of Shadow in the situation you describe would starve to death within a week or so.
6Well, then, what if he was just teleported there via an Olmak and tries to use his shadow powers to burst through the surface (he is miles underground, so it would take a long while). Would he then have an unlimited power supply if he kept channeling it upward?
7
8It's a good question -- darkness is the absence of light, but light is not the absence of darkness -- if there is no light, and you absorb the darkness, then what you have left is a void. I don't think you can say it is unlimited source of power, because once he absorbs the darkness in the pit, what is it that's producing more darkness for him to absorb?

1Very interesting, Govaki. I'd often wondered similar things, but about heat and cold. Leaving nothing behind seemed reasonable, but in quote-form, it makes it interesting to think how a void of it would work.
22) Was Zaktan still made up of protodite when he became a snake?
31) That's because I never came up with one for him, I didn't need it for story 42) Yes
5Nothing much, though I wished we knew what his power was
6Maybe he didn't have one. Some Skakdi didn't have one.

1Most notably, they didn't even look like claws. It was some weapon he held. They kinda look like a sickle.
2And while I do think a better name can be chosen that wasn't already used, it isn't bad that things are getting named. if someone does it just for a little fame, yeah, that'd be the wrong reasons to do it, but that doesn't make naming a bad thing.
3It was significant enough that a Makuta thought it worth using, and we've had weapons get named that were used on a far less significant user.

1The bolded questions and answers are the ones I felt were most important. 2Hey GregF, got some more questions. 31. Was Takua THE first Matoran to be created?
41) Yes, I am okay with that
5Aww, that ruined, my fan-fiction...ahh well. I'll find a loop hole.
6Fan-fiction doesn't have to be canon. Like Greg said once, all fanon exists in an alternate dimension, so you can change the story however you want.
7As for the Takua thing, I think it actually makes perfect sense that he's so immature. Since he's the absolute first biomechanical project the GBs made, wouldn't his AI be a bit glitchy?
8So they made Takua before Helryx?
1When was it said that he was the first Biomechanical thing made? I only knew about Matoran...he didn't say he was the first thing ever.
1i really do remember the Ignika being first
1i must look up my pm`s after an quote which states which mask came first

17Offhand, I'd say that the claws don't really need a name, but if we are going to end up giving them a name, then 'Fang Claws' sounds a name that would work.
18And what's wrong with coming up with a weapon name and getting it canonized? How much fame would one get for coming up with a name for Antroz's blades? Next to none.

19It's simply something that would make someones day a bit better and unless it somehow harms it or there is mass opposition then I don't see why it shouldn't be canonised
1If your sole intention is to get something accepted into canon because you want to say you have, then you are not working towards the betterment of the story itself - rather, just for personal fame, however little it may be. It is this I have a problem with, and always will. I don't care what the particular thing in question is - in this case, though, I do find having to name claws something a bit absurd. They're claws, and that's all that need be said about them.

11Yeah, I think it's annoying too, but it's just human nature to want to be famous. And even though probably no one will remember, they like to know they contributed something.
12
1Yeah, people know it was canonized, but not who did it. They do it to feel like they helped in a way.
1Okay the raining on Voya Nui is explainable, but what about in Metru Nui at the beginning of Web of Shadows? There is a big storm that is going on when the Toa Metru are returning to Metru Nui.
2Well yes but, correct me if I'm wrong, Mata Nui is on Mata Nui's face, and ,as said before, it rains on Aqua Magna. We have no way of telling how close the were to Metru Nui.
1No, the storm did happen in the MU, in the Silver Sea.

4I'm pretty sure it wasn't for fame as the person who originally posted that hasn't come to defend their idea or anything like that. 5Soon the whole story may be in the hands of the fans so now would be a good time to Encourage ideas like this
1Are the Toa from the new Toa Team serial already being counted in the 57 Toa number or not?
2Yes, they would have to come from the 57 because I am not making new Toa
3Thats good. We get to flesh out some existing Toa. I hope GregF uses the Toa in TSO's fortress. It would be interesting to get some backstory on him.
4And on the topic of Fang Blades/Claws, it wasn't about fame. I just thought that it was a shame that all the other Makuta had named weapons while Antroz didn't, plus the fact that those weapons didn't really look like claws. I even suggested to Erebus that we make a poll on what we should call the weapons (he thought it wasn't needed and it would only cause issues, but hey, I tried), so sorry for any confusion on what exactly my intentions were. I didn't expect my name to go on BS01 or anything.
11. The toa in the stasis in Odina..is he still alive? Will he be taken out of stasis?
2He is still alive, yes, but right now I have no plans for him. Until I get a new list of approved names, I can't do much with him as a character.
31. I'm sure you could make some good plot point out of him even without a name, like him forgetting his name or something? Or do you simply don't plot that way?
42. On the UDD symbol, which dots are unity and destiny. I figure the big one is duty because it's in the middle of the mantra and the big dot is in the middle of of the two other dots.
53. So those two big swooshed around the UDD symbol represent two big swooshes around of Speherus Magna? What are those swooshes?
64. Will we see the inhabitants of the Red Star in an upcoming serial?
71) Like I said, I have no plans to use him at this point. I have a way lot of characters to deal with and he's not high on my priority list right now. 82) No idea. 93) Gas and dust 104) Don't know yet

3Yeah you can definitely tell it's inside of the Metru Nui dome during the movie. They get ship wrecked and wash up on the shore while its still raining and stuff. Someone needs to ask Greg about this.
1I don't think GregF will use the stasis Toa for sometime, for good reason.

4You know, you're right. I guess that's one of the things that Mata Nui would unknowingly maintain, such as the electrical representations of his thoughts via the constellations in the Matoran Universe.
1Is that canon?
12. On the UDD symbol, which dots are unity and destiny. I figure the big one is duty because it's in the middle of the mantra and the big dot is in the middle of of the two other dots.
2It really doesn't matter, but if you watch Mask of Light, it seems to imply several times that Destiny is the middle one.
1Yes, I think Destiny is in the middle.
