1If they knew the line was ending before the movie was done, i wonder why they didnt change it so it wouldnt end in a cliffhanger.

6Hey, welcome to BZpower . 7Greg doesn't look at this topic so if you post them here he won't get them. 8You need to send him a Personal Message, (there's a link in the main post). 9However, I don't think you'll be able to do that after you've made 10 posts. 10Good luck .

1Ehh... the questions aren't there.
2X-Ray.

5Hello, Mr. Greg 6I came back to BZP from a long hiatus time and guess what? With a lot of questions. 7Actually, most of them were answered looking in the Farshtey Feed, but I still have a few.
81. Have you decided to whether reveal the origins of the Krana or not? 92. Have you though of a reason for why should have Teridax released more heat-vision Rahkshi than, say, fear or shadow ones? 103. Is Tahu destined to become Nuva again? 114. Is the Stars combiner the beast created by the Skakdi or is it just non canonical? 125. What will be of energized protodermis? Are the MU inhabitants going to take it off from the robot or will they live without it? 136. What will be of the Rahi? Will they get out fo thu MU on their own or will the Matoran help them? 147. The First Rahi and most marine Rahi could still live inside the MU, correct? 157b. Same about the Zyglak? 168. How can the Bahrag escape the MU if they're asleep? Is there a sound signal system that will wake them so they can leave when the MU dies? 179. Are you going to include flashbacks (primarily about Bara Magna's past, of which we know so little) in future story?
18And now some questions about you 191. What are you currently working on? 202. What do you think of the future sales of Journey's end? Would you be happy if it sells enough to sell the next graphic novels or will you just cover the events in them somewhere else? 213. Have you ever MOCced? 224. How are you at drawing? 235. What are your musical tastes?
24And that's all. 25Greetings

261) I don't really have a plan to, and I am not sure how you would work it into current story anyway. It's not like te Bahrag will be giving interviews or that it's really relevant to life on Spherus Magna. 272) Actually, we never said he did. We only showed the heat vision ones because that is the one we had a set of. But there were plenty of others in the battle who just weren't shown. 283) I don't plan on that, no. For one thing, he would have to find EP, which isn't easy on SM, for a second, most people are not destined to be transformed TWICE into the exact same thing. 294) The Stars combiner is the subject of a contest for fans to decide who he/she/it is. It is not the Skakdi beast. 305) They really have no need of it, so why bring it along? And how would they transport it? 316) Most likely both 327) Not sure about either. Remember, there is no heat, no light, and no fresh, making it likely that whatever they use to feed on will die off. 338) The Bahrag aren't asleep. The Bohrok are. The Bahrag don't go to sleep. 349) I don't plan to at the moment. 351) A Hero Factory piece for July 362) JE is not going to be for sale in the US, M. It is only available as a book in Poland. If we were going to sell it as a book here, we wouldn't have published it online first. 373) Nope 384) Can't draw 395) Jazz, mostly

402) In the latest chapter of JE the narrator said "there were (rahkshi) of many colors, but mostly yellow". 412) Uh, so what? I don't live in the US either. I was just asking if you think it will sell good in Poland.
42Thanks anyway. 43Oh, and another question. 44Would the massive mental shock of a psionics nova blast cause any of these:insanity 45paralyzation of part(s) of the body 46deafness 47blindness 48numbness 49muteness 50incapacity of using some powers.They're all related to the mind after all.

512) They got to the battle first, so there tended to be more of them in view. 522) No idea. I have no idea what BIONICLE book sales have ever been like in Poland. You would need to ask AMEET that. 533) I would think it would simply shock you into unconsciousness. The power of it would be so overwhelming that you wouldn't be able to stay conscious.

1Lesovikk's team was before the mata, so Tahu, Pohatu, Lewa, and Gali definitely weren't first of their element, Onua and Kopaka could have been.

2That's not certain, Lesovikk's team was the first toa Team created, but the six Toa Mata could still have been created before anyone else (except Helryx) then they would be gathered together later on.

1And now we know why GregF won't watch TLR. I kind of understand where he is coming from.

1And now we know why GregF won't watch TLR. I kind of understand where he is coming from.

2I,m confused, what excatually does he mean by Bionicle was cancelled mid-way? didn't the Bara Magna story continue? the sets came the movie was made, and comics and books was made.
3And the story after is still going on.
4Have i missed something here?

1Thank you so much for your time.
21) If the Vahi was destroyed outside of the MU robot would it end all time, or simply release a Nova Blast of time energy?
32) Can Akamai still be formed now that Tahu is in his Toa Mata form, while Pohatu and Onua are still Toa Nuva?
43) Are the Nuva Symbols still in the MU robot, or did someone bring them out after Teridax died?
54) Was the Nuva Cube only a fail safe to make sure the Bohrok were not released too early?
65) Where is the Nuva Cube now?
76) Will the purpose of the Skakdi, what their function in the MU robot and what they are guarding, be revealed before or after Teridax's death?
87) Are the Great Beings aware that Spherus Magna has been reformed?

2Hello again, Greg. I have 3 questions to ask you for my story. They are for my S&T contest #2 entry.
31. On Bs01, it says that Trinuma had kinetic weaponry. From his picture on the website, I can see two small wing-like objects connected to the back of his lower legs. Could I say in my story that these objects are his kinetic weaponry? I ask this because I plan to have Trinuma fly in my story, and it would make sense if the weaponry was on his feet. 41.5 Bs01 also says that Trinuma can fire bursts of kinetic force. What would happen if someone was hit by one of these bursts? Would they be knocked away from the one who fired them, or would something else happen? 52. May I describe the appearance of the shallows cats? I know they resemble Muaka, but can I say what color they are and other traits as such?
6Thank-you for your time.

71) Why would it make sense to have his weaponry on his feet? 81.5) It's pretty much an impact attack 92) Yes


101. I thought that the weaponry was used like the boosters Iron Man uses to fly with. Could this still work? Or is the kinetic weaponry his combat weapon? 11New question: 122. On Torduk's Bs01 page, it says that he is a senior member of the OoMN. Does this mean that he has a higher rank among the OoMN, like second in command?

131) It's his combat weaponry 142) It means he is a veteran member and has authority over lower ranks of members. He's not second in command.

1Hey Greg,
2Got some more questions.
31. From the sounds of it, you still haven't sent your list of names (correct me if you have). Are you going to have names in time for the new serials? 42. Do you think Reign of Shadows will be completely wrapped up, or will some of the storylines continue into new serials after RoS ends? 53. If the Inika saga had been continued into 2008, did you (and your story team) ever plan on how you would end 2007 or was the decision made before you got that far? 64. If the Vahi was destroyed outside of the MU would it end time there? 75.

812. How does EP know whether something is destined to change or not? I mean, who creates "destiny"?

912) Mata Nui assigns the destiny of those beings created in the MU.

10Who decides the destiny of beings outside of the MU?
11Thanks for your time, Greg.
12-LK

131) I'll manage. I have been extremely busy, so putting a list of names together for my use has not been high on my priority list. 142) I think what you have to consider is that all the ROS storylines get changed completely when Teridax dies. 99% of them have something to do with stopping Teridax -- once he no longer needs to be stopped and everyone evacuates the MU, they will at best change radically if not end automatically. 153) The decision was made before we got that far. 164) No 175) Not something we get into, since it treads on religious ground.

181. So will the serials be delayed because of this or will you avoid positions where you would need names? 192. I'm talking more about the Artahka, Helryx, etc. with the Great Being. Would that be continued in another serial since they're out of the MU? 204. Why not, if you don't mind me asking? 215. But EP still changes people according to their destiny outside of the MU, correct? 226. Since Gaaki, Pouks, Bomonga, and Kualus were all on Tuyet's side in the Toa Empire is it safe to say that Norik and Iruini were too?
23-LK

241) I've been writing for ages without any new names. I can manage. 252) My guess is the GB angle will be wrapped up in ROS, and then they will be part of the Spherus Magna setting. Right now, whether those characters show up in an SM serial, I don't know. 264) Because the Vahi is keyed to work with the MU -- it is part of the machine. It doesn't affect the universe outside of the MU. 275) Yes, but since there is no EP on SM, it's not going to come into play. 286) Yes

291) So I assume that the Toa team of various elements serial will not be the first on your list. 304) Would the Vahi still be able to slow down time outside of the MU, like the Hau can still put up shields and the Ignika can still create life? 315) Is it possible that any of the EP within the MU might leak out onto Bara Magna? 327) Is the Energized Protodermis Entity still alive? 338) Did Teridax send only Heat Vision Rahkshi onto Bara Magna or a mixture of different kinds, with the heat vision type more common than the rest? 349) Do you think Takanuva and Jaller will end up in the same village (or whatever they end up being) on Spherus Magna since they were friends back on Mata Nui? 3510) If the Bionicle story were to end, would you remain on BZPower to answer questions? 3611) After Bionicle ends, would you permitted to be able to read Bionicle fan fiction?

371) Nope 384) Yes 395) Possible, but not likely. 407) Yes 418) No, not only heat vision Rahkshi. 429) No idea 4310) Impossible for me to plan that far out. 4411) I doubt I would have the time. I would be working on something else then.

2Hello Greg . Hope you can answer some of these questions.
31.) When Mata Nui recreated Spherus Magna, did they just fall into place or use some of his Great Spirit power? What I mean is that he had some way of merging the planets together so there wasn't a disaster - it seems like something that would be useful considering his destiny.
42.) I remember you saying that Bara Magna is the size of Earth, (I could be wrong). Is it? From the various media depictions, it seems Mata Nui and Makuta are only on a small section of Spherus Magna, even with Makuta laying down. So would it be the size of Jupiter, maybe bigger? The moon Aqua Magna seems to be about Mars sized after all.
53.) The 28th Mata Nui Saga chapter seems to depict Makuta's massive attack as stomping on the warriors down below. Is this canon, and if so, does it happen before or after his gravity attack?
64.) How did the Great Beings build Mata Nui's shell upright? Are they able to live in Space? (seeing as the robot reaches out of the atmosphere)
75.) About how many Rahkshi of Heat Vision made it to Bara Magna, and how many Rahkshi altogether?
8Thanks .

91) He was using gravitic power. That means he had control over how fast the moons were moving when they impacted. 102) No idea. 113) Before. 124) All they would need would be equipment to allow the Matoran to function, since the Matoran were doing the physical labor of building MN, not them. 135) I don't have numbers, as I did not need them for the story

1Hey, Greg, got questions.
21. In Journey's End, when "Nektann smiled as his Glatorian foe fell" did he kill the Glatorian? 31a. He also batted a Agori that tried to stop him. Is the Agori killed too?
42. Can the inhabitants of the MU be right-handed or left-handed?
53. According to info given to us to the size of the robots, the Agori Mega-City should have been the size of Africa. Would you agree with this?
64. I see a problem in the map of the MU and the body of the MU. The MU robot has 3 tube-like structures where it's stomach should be. In the MU map, it should be where the Southern Continent is located. Could you tell me which is the canon version?
75. When Tahu was fighting Nektann, I know he (being a Toa) is supposed to follow the Toa Code, but in the situation he's in, where billions of lives depend on him getting the Golden Armor, why is he still following the Code and not killing Nektann. I'm sure everyone would forgive him, due to the fact that if he was defeated or killed, all would be lost?
86. Are the millions of Matoran in the MU? Or billions? 96a. Are there a billion sapient beings in the MU altogether?
107. Have there been any Glatorian born since the Shattering?
118. It is said that the Agori and Glatorian have mechanical implants. What would be an example? Like where would they be located, and for what purpose?
12Thanks.

131) Yes and yes 142) Yes 153) Yup 164) They both are. How the robot looks externally is different than how it looks internally. This is simply two artistic approaches to the same thing. 175) Why does Superman not kill Brainiac when he threatens all of Earth? Because he doesn't. He's vowed that if he ever uses his powers to take a life, he retires. If you believe in something, then you can't just alter your beliefs whenever it suits you -- and Tahu's point there was that he was BETTER than the Skakdi. 186) I don't have a census form handy. 197) Sure. 208) Oh, well, you might have an ocular implant to give you better sight, or an implant in your knee to improve flexibility and agility, or subdermal armor in some part of your body to protect it, especially if it is a spot that was damaged before.

21Cool, got a few more.
221. Since there is no land mass on Aqua Magna, where do the birds rest or lay their eggs? They could probably float on the water like ducks but what about their eggs?
232. Does a Glatorian have better combat skills than a Toa (if the Toa doesn't have elemental powers or mask powers)?
243. When the Great Beings experimented on the Zesk, they made the sand Agori 4-legged. Why would they do this, since it would hurt the Zesk's ability to hold and grab stuff?
254. You said every island in the MU acts like an organ for the robot body. What is the purpose of the Southern Islands?
265. When is the next chapter of Sahmad podcast being posted?
276. Is air the MU equivalent of jungle, or is plant life the MU equivalent of jungle?
287. What's your favorite element that is not one of the 6 most common elements?
298. So is Bara Magna larger than the earth?
309. Do the Bara Magnans know that there are survivors on Bota Magna?
3110. I know you have little to do with the sets, but do you know which element usually sells the best?
3211. Do you have a least favorite character?
3312. What's your favorite color?

341) They lay them in the water. 352) Depends on the Toa. Some Toa have great hand to hand skills, and some don't. 363) It's what happened. You don't always know what the results are going to be when you do an experiment. 374) Hasn't been revealed 385) Probably next week, I sent it out yesterday 396) Plant life. How would air be the equivalent of jungle? 407) Don't have one. 418) I don't know, I don't have any measurement for the planet. 429) I am sure they would assume that. If they could survive in a desert, surviving in a forest would be a lot easier, right? 4310) Yes. Fire. Virtually always has. 4411) No 4512) Blue

1Hello, Mr. Farshtey. How are you? I have just one question today, and I'm pretty sure no one else has asked it yet.
2Would we be allowed to say that Vezon may have visited the "New World" (or at least a version of it) while he was dimension-hoping?

5No. Beyond the fact that Mata Nui once visited there, no other characters from BIONICLE are going to have visited there. The point of NW is to create an entirely new place that happens to exist in the same universe as Spherus Magna, not to just tell the same old BIONICLE stories in a different setting.

2New questions about Sahmad's tale.
31. Is the tentacle that took them Tren Krom?
42. Sahmad said the "second earthquake was surprisingly not as big" or something like that. What is that referring too?
53. Why is Sahmad so sure someone caused the plague? Isn't that kinda illogical?
64. If Sahmad and Telluris tried to join the new society, would they still be outcast and exiled from the others again?
75. When Sahmad used to stay at Roxtus, weren't any of the Rock Agori afraid that he had the plague?
86. Besides Sahmad and Telluris, are there any other members of the iron tribe on Bara Magna?

91) No 102) The re-merging of the planet 113) I don't think so. The plague targeted one tribe. They lived basically right next door to the Skrall, but the plague never struck them. Wouldn't that strike you as suspicious? 124) Yes. Sahmad was a slaver, and Telluris was a maniac ... would you want them in your town? 135) They knew he didn't, or he would have been dead long ago. 146) On Bara Magna? Highly doubtful. Very, very few IT members survived.

15Its probably just some kind of creature on Bara Magna. I wouldn't put too much thought into it.

1Hi Greg, just a couple of questions I wanted to ask;
21) Is Dweller is still alive after the levelling of Daxia's fortress? 32) Has anyone bothered to rescue the Stasis Toa from the wreckage of the MU?
4Thanks for reading.

51) Yes 62) Makuta just died like 20 minutes ago. It's more important to get the living out of the MU first before you worry about beings protected by stasis.

2Judging from the post at the top of the page, he is replying even today - and I have been looking if he has been on BZP, and he has. I really do not want to bug him, though I am confused. He usually anwers within a day. So . . . anyone know what might have happened?

7The "New World" is a world that was once visited by Mata Nui during his mission through the universe. It will be created entirely by the fans, but will still be canon and will have its own approved name list straight from LEGO so people can name characters, place, objects, etc. Check the BS01 forum for more information on it.

2Hello Binkmeister, Just 2 short questions...
31.Do you know who was in charge of the animation in the Bionicle battle vidoes? ( I ask this because I think I recognize who could have made it.)
42.If you don't know, do you know who I could talk to?

5Same guy who did the LEGO Ben 10 stop-motion videos, I don't recall his name. But he was featured in the LEGO Club magazine recently.

6Was his name Patrick Bovlin? 7The French-Canadian Director?

8Yeah, that's him.
