1Hello there, Greg. I have a few questions to ask you.
201: Does Artakha have the power to teleport himself or other beings?
302: How many powers does Artakha have? (If any)
403: Does Tren Krom control Stone?
504: Will you reveal the Makuta of Artakha's name?
605: Do you have any additional info about Krika?
706: Do Makuta control the Elements of Fire, Water, Air, Ice, Stone and Earth?
807: Do you have any plans on including Slizers in the BIONICLE Story as some titbit?
908: Has the Kanohi Ignika begun it's life drain before?
1009: Are their Kanohi for each Kraata power?
1110: Do the Makuta Mistika wear Kanohi masks?
12Thanks Greg .
131) Obviously, since he teleported the Toa Nuva both to and from his island 142) I am not listing his powers, I prefer to keep him a mystery 153) Tren Krom is very powerful 164) Not unless there is some compelling reason to do so. He's not slated for a big role in DM and he's been dead for centuries in the main universe. 175) Sure 186) No 197) No. Slizers do not belong to same story universe as BIONICLE, and even if they did, we are no longer selling those sets so why bring them up? 208) Yes 219) No 2210) Yes
23There. Some nice info.
1Really? I'll have to look. 2~ShadowBolt~ 3Edit: Actually, from these angles, they appear all to be different with the box one being a cross between the ASMZINE and Toy Fair ones.
4Yes, that was my point. I saw many versions and wanted to know which was real. I guess it's too early to know, but I'm assuming we will know by May June or July.
1Botar is dead.
1Lehua could you please post in a spoiler and besides that this isn't the place to discuss this
1Some questions on JoT, just some stuff that was bugging me:
21) Is it a pocket universe of the BIONICLE one? 31a) If not, is it ours?
4Also, do you have a LEGO network page? Just wondering
51) Yes 61a) No. We are not going to do anything with our universe or humans in BIONICLE. 72) No, I haven't had the time to do that.
8Just some random Questions, wonder if he's going to make one....
1Hello, Mr. Farshtey, 2I have some questions:
31. Is there a being, who can fully control the power of Kanohi Vahi? 42. Tuyet has to hold Nui Stone closely to keep the power, doesn't she? 53. Are beings in the Red Star belong to 2009 storyline? 63b. ...Or will we know more about them in this year? (I think you can't discuss this question, but I hope...) 74. Mata Nui is more powerful then MoMN and he knew about his treachery. Why he didn't do anything against it by himself? 85. Earlier there was said that Makuta of Metru Nui united all beings with the same power in one Brotherhood. But now it is said that he (Teridax) hadn't came into being yet, when the Brotherhood was founded -- this is mistake, or new changes in storyline?
9Thank you for taking your time to read this.
10~tso~
111) Not that we know of, no 122) No. Once she taps it, she has its power. She can then tap it again and get more. She doesn't have to be physically holding it. 133) No 143b) No 154) By the time he knew of his treachery, he had already been attacked and it was too late to do anything about it. 165) I never said anything about Teridax not existing when the Brotherhood was founded. But he was not the original leader of it.
17Wow. Tuyet can become very... powerful problem. 18Well, I think the question 5 is important. 'Cause on BioSector (I checked) was said that Teridax came into being after the Brotherhood was formed.
1Really? I'll have to look.
4Yes, that was my point. I saw many versions and wanted to know which was real. I guess it's too early to know, but I'm assuming we will know by May June or July.
5Or during a set review. 6~ShadowBolt~

19uh oh .
1Got these back. I bolded it all cause they all seem interesting.
33Krika can fly . yay .
2Hi Greg. I just had a few questions.
31. Can the Toa Ignika use its power to devolve a shadow leech into a kraata?
42. Can a kraata infect the Ignika? 52b. Same question for the Vahi.
63. Is the origin of the Pit mutagen going to remain a mystery? 73b. Does its origin have a major impact on the story?
84. Is it a coincidence that Mutran was traveling with Gorast, who rules the Trem Krom Peninsula, and then went to meet Trem Krom? 94b. Speaking of Trem Krom, was the Peninsula named after him/her? 104c. Also, do the matoran, turaga, or toa know who Trem Krom is?
115. Will the Makuta curse remain a mystery?
126. How come Krika cannot fly? Krika and Takanuva are the only sets this year that don't have a means of flight, and I was just wondering why, seeing as they will be at a disadvantage because everyone else can fly.
137. Was it revealed to the public that Tuyet was the one who was killing the matoran to make it look like the Dark Hunters, or was lhikan, nihdiki, and turaga dume the only ones on Metru Nui that knew? 147b. If it was revealed to the matoran, I'm confused about something. In the mirror dimension, Jaller strongly supports the Toa Empire. Why would he support it when he was one of the matoran who inspected the dead matoran that Tuyet murdered?
158. Will we learn who Nynrah (sp?) is?
169. Does the Toa Ignika's Midak work just like a regular one?
1710. I recall you saying that the countdown on the Ignika was just added to explain why it's silver, and to add some suspense to the story. If that is so, then that must mean that it wasn't part of the general plot of this year, meaning it won't have a major impact on the story, meaning that it won't turn black, correct?
1811. A lot of people asked you if the ignika draining all life from the universe thing would affect Mata-Nui, and you said no. More recently, you said that it would affect "all life in the universe". So did you change your mind, or is Mata-Nui not in the matoran universe?
19Thanks in advance .
201) Yes 212-2b) Yes 223) I don't plan on revealing it anytime soon, but I am not going to say its origin is essential to the story. We know it existed as energy all along, and that it was unleashed by the GC. 234) Yes 244a) Yes 254b) They know of his legend 265) No 276) Krika can fly, and so can Takanuva. Just because there aren't obvious features on sets doesn't mean they can't, just means I had to be more imaginative in bringing it about. 287) We never stated if it was or wasn't revealed in our universe, but how would it have ever been in the DM universe? Lhikan was killed and Nidhiki would certainly gain no benefit by telling anyone. 298) Yes 309) Yes 3110) No, because I alter general plot as I need to. I have that authority. 3211) What I have said is that if all life in the universe ends, and no new life comes to replace it, then Mata Nui would die as well. You have to think about the purpose of the mask -- to basically allow the Great Beings to scrap mistakes and start over. If they need MN to run the universe, it would be pointless to kill him too if the intent is to fill the universe with new life, right?
33Krika can fly . yay .

33Krika can fly . yay .
34So... Takanuva can fly... thats new. I wonder how? I can see Krika doing it, considering he is a Makuta, but Takanuva? I'll have to think about it... maybe levatation discs in his feet? I don't know, his mask power is still the same, and Light and Shadow don't let you fly....
35Yes, I'm lost. Woot.
1Why is it that whenever I send 2 PMs to Greg in one day, he only answers the second one? Anyway, here it is:
32Some interesting stuff, but not much. 33
m_o:
34
2In the OGD, there's been all this talk about what you meant about Tren Krom being "more than" a blacksmith. Which is (closer to being) right? 3Dorek's example, "the President is much more than a blacksmith; does this mean he has any smithing skills?" 4Shardwing Prime's example, "the way he [you] said it implies that it's some extension of blacksmith, e.g. a samurai is much more than a warrior."
5ANSWER: Dorek's example. 6More q's about Tren Krom. He/she/it is affiliated with Fire/Lava, correct?
7ANSWER: No.
8Does he/she/it have anything to do with the Makuta's evolution into energy? If he did, that would explain the question from my last PM about why Makuta evolved and other equally-old beings didn't.
9ANSWER: No.
10Since you've said that Makuta can't be affected by the Mutagen since they're energy, does that mean that the reason the Mistikuta can't use some Rahkshi powers is not because they were mutated?
11ANSWER: No. Makuta energy cannot be affected, but their energy is linked to their armor, and their armor can be affected.
12The Bohrok were built to cleanse the island of Mata Nui. This means they were made in case there was something that happened like the EP spill, because anyone reaching Mata Nui would have gone through the Bohrok tunnels, which would not exist otherwise, right? 13ANSWER: I don't understand your question. 14This suggests that the island of Mata Nui must be kept clean. So this must have some significance, no?
15ANSWER: Yes. 16This brings me to the "landing pad" theory I read a while ago. Basically, it goes like this: 17Ignika goes black, for whatever reason. 18Everyone has the life sucked out of them, 'cept Mata Nui. 19Red Star falls from sky and lands on Mata Nui. 20Beings inside Red Star go down tunnels and repopulate universe. 21Mata Nui does not die since Matoran Universe has living beings in it. 22Disprove away. 23Or maybe it had to be kept clean so the Toa Mata could easily get down to Metru Nui?
24ANSWER: Neither is correct. There are ways Mata Nui can wind up forested intentionally, not by accident, and when this is not necessary, the Bohrok come and clean it off. That is why they exist. The red star beings have not and never will come down to Mata Nui or the domed universe.
25Did Artakha make the Makuta's armor? 26ANSWER: Yes. 27Did Tren Krom?
28ANSWER: No. 29And now for something completely different (lol, monty python ): 30About how many PMs would you say you answer (not receive) on an average (week)day?
31ANSWER: It varies depending on how busy I am. Some days, I have time to get through 20 or 30, other days I can only do 5-10. Depends entirely on my schedule.
32Some interesting stuff, but not much. 33
m_o: 341More interesting answers coming soon.
1Some interesting info 
2QUOTE 3Dear Greg, 4Please give these questions some consideration,
51. Why didn't Tahu see Takua's memories when Takua was on his back in Mask of Light? 62. In the latest comic, Chirox used a shadow hand without pulling it back into his substance, how is this possible (on Pohatu)? 73. What good is Pohatu's mask of speed if he has photok's speed power? 84. How are the Barraki evading capture? 95. Does the OoMN know Hydraxon is a clone? 105a. if so, how? 116. What did Brutaka do after fighting Makuta?
12Thanks .
13P.S. One of my letters wasn't answered.
141) Takua didn't know he was a Matoran of Light and had no access to any of those abilties, therefore the linkage did not produce any effect. 152) Teridax did the same thing in WOS -- the shadow hand grabs Roodaka at the end, but she wasn't absorbed either. 163) What if Photok gets knocked off his back? Then what? 174) Same way you would if you were being hunted in a vast ocean 185) I see no reason why they would. 196) Brutaka was transported to Daxia by Botar and fitted with a breathing apparatus

1yeah 
sure. i haven't heard of that. got a quote? or are we being facetious? interesting regardless
sure. i haven't heard of that. got a quote? or are we being facetious? interesting regardless1yeah
2The "madman" referred to is, in fact, Vezon. On the Vezon set, the MoLi fused to the back of his head is silver, and Greg has since confirmed it was because of the reason we were given this year that it was silver.
3Unless the question referred to before this point and Greg either answered that (but we have yet to find out) or didn't realise the message referred to pre-Vezon? I dunno.
4But yeah, the madman is Vezon. And read here for clarification
1yeah
2Quote:
33. I assume that it took that form to fit better on Vezon's head and that prior to that it looked like this. 4If so, is that also why it was silver instead of gold? Or had it begun its life-sucking process but reverted back to gold when the Piraka were defeated?
53) The latter.
6TtW meant that Vezon was the madman.
1to much information .
108: Has the Kanohi Ignika begun it's life drain before?
28) Yes
3interesting. so something that has threatened the universe has happened before. wonder what it is.
4yeah

1i know a Toa cannot kill a creature that thinks but the Makuta are to dangerous. The order of Mata nui has to strike now againest the |Brotherhood of Makuta. And avenge there fallen comrade.

1Hi Greg
21) Did Icarax kill Botar in FOF5?
31) Yes
4whoa when was FOF5 up anyways botar was my fav. besides brutaka and axxon
5I actually was upset that Botar died, but It's better than no one important dying. Kinda like Matoro, he died, but it was effective to us readers...which is one thing i would like to read about.

6yea same with me, i was really sad when i heard Botar died and im like, why didnt they just kill that other stupid OOMN member. But then i thought, well, if they killed the other guy then nobody would care, so i guess it's better they killed Botar.

1QUOTE 2Hello, Mr. Farshtey. I just have some questions I hope you can answer.
31) If Botar´s dead... who´ll take his place (job)?
42) Why didn´t Botar transport Teridax (or his essence) to the Pit at the end of 2003, considering that being crushed by the giant doorway wasn´t one of MoMN´s plans? Or Botar couldn´t transport Antidermis?
53) Can you reveal the Phantoka Makuta´s assigned regions? If not, when?
64) When Pahrak-Kal made his way to the "center of the planet", does this mean that he was transported to the Matoran Universe (Universe Core) or the planet´s core?
75) You said you weren´t revealing the Phantoran masks yet because the set designers could use them in the future. Since practically all of the 2008 sets are now revealed, and you aren´t revealing the mask powers yet, does this mean that in 2009 we have still Kanohi or something similar?
8Thanks in advance.
91) Someone else. 102) Because if you transport the leader of the BOM to the Pit, the rest of the BOM is going to want to know what happened to him. And eventually their investigation would uncover the OOMN and their greatest weapon -- their secrecy -- would be lost, all to get one Makuta out of the picture when there were still a bunch left out there. 113) I will when I have time. Right now, between work and 60 or so PMs a day on here, I have no time. 124) Planet core. 135) I was always talking about post-2008.
14I don´t know if no. 5 is new or not...
1QUOTEWhere is/What became of Lhikan's dead corpse?
2Also, which small/worthless landmass was Pridak assigned by the Brotherhood to rule? 3(if answered, ignore P.S. and P.P.S.)
4P.S. The second question is a big deal the way I see it, so although the answer may be too insignificant to be answered, I would generally prefer if the question itself would not be considered unimportant if it is left unanswered. Which island that was assigned may not be important, but the fact that he was assigned an island was. If further convincement be needed, see P.P.S.
5P.P.S. It triggered Pridak's lust for conquest, forming the League of 6 Kingdoms, inspiring Makuta to begin his plan; causing the Great Cataclysm, the breaking off of Voya Nui, the death of Turaga Lhikan and Jovan, the collapsing of the pit, the deaths of Tuyet and Hydraxon, the deaths of Nidhiki/Krekka which lead to the War against the Dark Hunters, Matoro having to die to save Mata Nui, the Karda Nui attacks which corrupted 99% of the Stalactite Villages, etc. It's at least partially responsible for at least 90% of all the unfortunate events in the Bionicle universe/planet/dimension since 80,001 years ago.
6I agree the second question is important, but will ask you to refresh my memory -- where does it state that the BOM assigned Pridak to rule an island? We know Pridak worked for them prior to joining the League, but the BOM did not set the League up or assign their territories. The League decided among themselves who would have which territory.
7As for Lhikan, given the events of late 2004 and 2005, my guess would his organic parts eventually rotted away leaving his armor behind. With the Visorak invasion, etc., I doubt there was time to do a proper memorial for him. Assuming his armor was recovered when the Toa Nuva returned to Metru Nui, it would have been interred in the Coliseum at that time.
1Hey Greg, just a few questions,
21) It seemed that Botar wasn't really a fighter seeing as he was very easily slayed by Icarax. Was he more intimidating than he actually was? 3b. If he wasn't really too good of a fighter, couldn't have Brutaka killed him when he was being taken to the Pit?
42) Brutaka told Spiriah not to point his Midak at himself, but I thought that a Midak will shoot darkness if you are a Makuta? 5b. If it does shoot darkness why would Brutaka tell him not to aim it at himself?
63) I don't understand why Brutaka is telling Vezon he has powers, can you explain it to me?
74) Will Roodaka's Rhotuka Spinner have its mutating power still? 8b. If it does, couldn't she mutate Vezon so he had powers?
95) Tren Krom seems to be some kind of Octopus/Squid creature or a plant like the Morbuzahk. Can you explain his appearence in greater detail?
106) Now that Botar is gone who will be the new member to bring prisoners to the Pit?
117) Will Trinuma play another part in the story seeing as you just gave him a name?
128) Lets just say someone stabbed Toa Ignika through the chest, would he die or would the body just disappear?
139) Is there any significance to Tren Krom the being and Tren Krom the island?
1410) The three summer Makuta are supposed to sound like bugs in american correct? ex. Bitil=Beetle, Gorast=Grass Hopper, Krika=Cricket
1511) Are all OOMN members able to teleport?
1612) Is the leader of the OOMN someone who we know, such as Artahka?
1713) Are any members of Toa Lhikan's team still alive? 18b. Dume's? 19c. Lesovikk's?
2014) If there was a Toa of Lightening at the scene where Jaller and Co. were struck by the Red Star, could she have controlled the lightening?
2115) Is it possible for Mata Nui to be a set, like as in is his physical form able to be a set or is there a 0% chance he will ever be a set?
2216) Have you decided on any of the Summer Serials yet? If so could you give us an idea of one? If not could you tell us what you have in mind?
2317) When the winner of the Miserix building contest is announced, will whatever Kanohi the creator decided to be his mask become his mask in the story?
2418) You say that Teridax losing his armor was a set back, whereas shouldn't it be an advantage seeing as all the Toa thought he was dead?
2519) Teridax wanted the Priaka to get the MoLi but didnt want the Barakki to get it correct?
2620) If the Piraka succeeded in getting the MoLi would have one of them had to die to ressurect Mata Nui?
2721) Just to ask, will 2009 take place directly after the 2008 storyline or will it be a flashback or future?
28Thanks in Advance
291) Hmmmm ... would you say Wolverine of the X-Men is a good fighter? Because I have seen him get creamed more than once by Magneto. When your powers involve armor or metal and you are up against someone with magnetic power, guess what? You lose.
302) No
313) He didn't tell him he had powers. He told him he had no powers, but the Makuta don't know that -- they will think he might have them, because they have never met Vezon.
324) Yes, and yes, but why would she want to give Vezon powers and possibly make him a threat to her?
335) Follow the story.
346) Someone else.
357) We'll see, he might.
368) The body would only disappear if the mask was attacked in such a way that it could not maintain the body. The seat of life is the mask, not the body.
379) There is no Tren Krom island -- there is a Tren Krom peninsula, which was named after the being.
3810) Not to my knowledge, no. How do you get "grasshopper" from Gorast? The two look and sound nothing alike.
3911) No
4012) You will find out who the leader is later this year, but I can tell you it is not Artakha.
4113) Lesovikk's all died. Lhikan's all died or disappeared. Dume's most likely became Turaga, so at least some would still be alive.
4214) Possibly, but consider how fast a lightning strike happens, and the odds that you could react fast enough to take control of it.
4315) I can't discuss future set plans, except to say no point in making a set of him while he is still sleeping.
4416) I don't want to discuss it.
4517) Most likely, yes
4618) But it put him in the position of having to find a new body and having to rely on beings like the Piraka to work for him because he couldn't strike physically himself.
4719) Teridax wanted the Piraka to stall the Inika from getting it. He never expected them to actually be able to beat six Toa in the long run.
4820) Wouldn't have happened. The Piraka were not destined to save Mata Nui. And the point was not for the Piraka to get the mask -- Teridax never thought they would be able to do that -- but to delay the Inika's getting it.
4921) I can't discuss 2009 story
21) It seemed that Botar wasn't really a fighter seeing as he was very easily slayed by Icarax. Was he more intimidating than he actually was? 3b. If he wasn't really too good of a fighter, couldn't have Brutaka killed him when he was being taken to the Pit?
42) Brutaka told Spiriah not to point his Midak at himself, but I thought that a Midak will shoot darkness if you are a Makuta? 5b. If it does shoot darkness why would Brutaka tell him not to aim it at himself?
63) I don't understand why Brutaka is telling Vezon he has powers, can you explain it to me?
74) Will Roodaka's Rhotuka Spinner have its mutating power still? 8b. If it does, couldn't she mutate Vezon so he had powers?
95) Tren Krom seems to be some kind of Octopus/Squid creature or a plant like the Morbuzahk. Can you explain his appearence in greater detail?
106) Now that Botar is gone who will be the new member to bring prisoners to the Pit?
117) Will Trinuma play another part in the story seeing as you just gave him a name?
128) Lets just say someone stabbed Toa Ignika through the chest, would he die or would the body just disappear?

1A few old questions
2Hello Mr. Farshtey a few questions
31) In the alternative universe are the rahagah or the krahka still under the archives
42) you mentioned that the makuta have no light in them, does this extend to personality, I mean if Antroz had no light in him he'd be as dirty a fighter as Chirox.
53) On Bs01 it is mentioned that their is a makuta that supports the Brotherhood's grand scheme but also realizes that the plan will not make the universe better" (on the risk of sounding stupid) is this canon? 6b)if so is this makuta a summer or winter makuta?
74) How often does Mutran use his twisted sense of humour?
85) could you say Vican is terrified of Mutran
96) could you descibe Spirah as paranoid?
107) is Vezon mentally immature?
118) you know how Vamprah communcates mently does he project his thoughts in words or pictures?
129) asides from being fallen 'stars' how would you separatly describe Kirop and Radiak's personalities
1310) did Gavla become a shadow matoran willingly
1411) is Mutran possess any other qualities besides being "supposibly" beyond crazy and having a twisted sense of humour
15cheers .
161) Krahka would be. The Toa Hagah never became Rahaga in this universe. 172) I disagree. Wanting to kill someone fairly still means you want to kill them, doesn't mean you're good at heart. 183) Yes 193a) Summer 204) How often does anyone use their sense of humor? 215) Wary is probably a better word 226) It's not paranoia if people really are out to get you 237) No, he's deranged 248) Words 259) I believe this info is already on BIONICLE.com 2610) No. Vican is the only being we know who became a shadow Matoran willingly 2711) All beings possess many different qualities. But I only have room to show so many in the story
282) but if someone had no light whatsoever and they wanted to eliminate you then they would want to do it as efficiently as possible and wouldn't give a stuff for honor 293) is he/she IN the brotherhood 304) Depends on the person, my guess would be often as he has used it quite frequently 315-6) not that you can blame him 329) I read it but it doesn't mention anything of their personalities, say, is kirop quite or boistrous, is radiak a cunning tactician or are is schemes hairbrained, violent and innificient 3310) does he regret it? 3411) could you say he is eccentric 35a) on that token could we officially say that he: is eccentric, has a twisted sense of humour and is relfective of the past 36because he is reflective of the past my guess would be that it would be difficult to fool him with simlilar ploys twice
37other questions 381) would it be fair to say that after FoF's misson Spirah would have to be put in ther pit for his own protection 39a) could it also be fair to say that he could be treated better for services granted 40same for Takadox and Carapar
412) coulkd the avsa drain shadow energy and nasty emotions as well (granted though that they would taste bad or weaken a wearer)
423) could you say mutran is like Pintel and Raggeti comedy-wise (in c.o.t.b.p.)
432) Not necessarily. Someone who is evil can still have a big ego, right? So they want to think they are the toughest around. If you beat someone with a dirty trick, you haven't proved you are tough -- to do that, you have to beat them in a fair fight. 443) Yes 4510) He regrets how he looks now, that's about it. 4611) You left out "mad as a hatter" 471) Don't expect any of them to be "treated better." They will all wind up in a cell if they don't end up dead. 482) No 493) Never heard of them, so can't answer this
502) The way I see it, most makuta have pretty large egos if that was the case with Antroz then wouldn't every makuta with a big ego go around being honerable?
513) Is it correct that this makuta is Krika, because 'Realizing it won't make the universe better' is different from 'Scared it would not work'
5211) that to
531) I've just noted that among all of them Vezon is the one whom deserves to go free if he survives the mission
54New Questions
551) what possition is Bitil in the group
562) can the Makuta Mistika use their mask powers 57a) can you say what power they are?
583) about "fof" 59a) has Brutaka realized why Spiriah mutineed 60would it be fair to feel sorry for Spiriah
614) are their any Makuta that did not feel any jealosy toward Mata nui but where forced to support the grand scheme
625) would it be fair to say Mutran demonstates his sense of humour frequently (so far)
636) by the way, you do know Chirox is also the name of a character from 'Dune'
647) on a scale of one to ten how crazy would you say are: 65a) Vezon 66Kahzahni (pre and post mind shread) 67c) Mutran 68d) Vican 69e) Tuyet
708) is it possible that Antroz or Vamprah was the one whom took out Krekka's eye
71thank you in advance
721) Bitil is a summer set, so too early to discuss his role in story 732) Yes 742a) Too early 753) Spiriah says in the chapter why he mutinied, he wants revenge on the Skakdi 763b) No. Spiriah is evil. 774) I would say no 785) In the Chronicles, he does 796) Nope. But we only have to worry about character names that are registered for use in toys. You can't copyright a character name or a title just by writing it, you have to trademark it separately 807) I really hate scaling questions 818) Anything's possible

1What all did you ask him? Also, does anyone know when he usually gets on? 
1Hey Greg. Great job with the recent FoF chapter . So yes I have a few questions:
201) It's mentioned in Biosector 01 that Bohrok can also wield elements other than their original six. Is this true? Or does that just refer to the Bohrok-Kal? 302) So Icarax killed Botar. Just how offensively can magnetism be used in the Bionicle world? Like could it be used to crush a being's armor? 403) So is Tren Krom an intelligent Rahi or is it a sapient being like the Skakdi? Or is it just capable of shapeshifting? 504) Who would you say has more control over Shadow? A Toa of Shadow or a Makuta? 605) When will the Makuta Mistika mask powers be revealed? 706) Does the First Toa play a significant role this year? 807) Could you reveal anything about Bitil? 908) I read somewhere that Chirox is much better trained than Teridax when it comes to Shadow Hands. Is this true? 1009) You've once mentioned that being in the core is what makes the Av-Matoran larger than other Matoran. Is this unique to Av-Matoran only or can this happen to other Matoran? I'm asking this because Vultraz and Vican seem to be the same height as the Av-Matoran (and Shadow Av-Matoran). 1110) Do you plan on ever releasing the suspended Toa (the one in Odina)? 1211) When will Mazeka be released? 1312) Will any collectibles be released this year? 1413) When will the next Dark Mirror episode be released? 1514) Could the thing the Toa Mistika be looking for are the other three Keystones?
16Thanks for your time
171) That's referring to the Kal, Bohrok cannot do that. 182) Sure, why not? 193) Sapient, and not a shapeshifter 204) A Makuta. 215) When we are closer to them actually coming into story, which is still about four months away 226) Plays a role, I don't know how significant you would call it. Not a set, so limit to how big of a role is available 237) Bitil prefers not to fight one on one, but fortunately rarely has to 248) He has used them more often 259) Only happens to Av-Matoran. 2610) Not at the moment, but you never know what might happen later in the year 2711) Summer 2812) Not to my knowledge 2913) As soon as it's written and recorded 3014) And other things of importance
313) So the tentacle is part of his anatomy? 327) Would you say he's a coward? 339) So does this depend on how long they have been in Karda Nui? Like if they left the Core would they be the same size as other Matoran? Like Takua for instance? 3411) Since he/she is a Matoran, what's his affliation? Element-wise I mean?
35Thanks
363) Yes 377) No 389) It does depend on how long they have been there, yes 3911) Since I haven't seen the set yet, I can't answer this
40Just some questions
1Sweet, more info on Bitil . To BS01 .
1Got these back. I bolded it all cause they all seem interesting.
2Hi Greg. I just had a few questions.
31. Can the Toa Ignika use its power to devolve a shadow leech into a kraata?
42. Can a kraata infect the Ignika? 52b. Same question for the Vahi.
63. Is the origin of the Pit mutagen going to remain a mystery? 73b. Does its origin have a major impact on the story?
84. Is it a coincidence that Mutran was traveling with Gorast, who rules the Trem Krom Peninsula, and then went to meet Trem Krom? 94b. Speaking of Trem Krom, was the Peninsula named after him/her? 104c. Also, do the matoran, turaga, or toa know who Trem Krom is?
115. Will the Makuta curse remain a mystery?
126. How come Krika cannot fly? Krika and Takanuva are the only sets this year that don't have a means of flight, and I was just wondering why, seeing as they will be at a disadvantage because everyone else can fly.
137. Was it revealed to the public that Tuyet was the one who was killing the matoran to make it look like the Dark Hunters, or was lhikan, nihdiki, and turaga dume the only ones on Metru Nui that knew? 147b. If it was revealed to the matoran, I'm confused about something. In the mirror dimension, Jaller strongly supports the Toa Empire. Why would he support it when he was one of the matoran who inspected the dead matoran that Tuyet murdered?
158. Will we learn who Nynrah (sp?) is?
169. Does the Toa Ignika's Midak work just like a regular one?
1710. I recall you saying that the countdown on the Ignika was just added to explain why it's silver, and to add some suspense to the story. If that is so, then that must mean that it wasn't part of the general plot of this year, meaning it won't have a major impact on the story, meaning that it won't turn black, correct?
1811. A lot of people asked you if the ignika draining all life from the universe thing would affect Mata-Nui, and you said no. More recently, you said that it would affect "all life in the universe". So did you change your mind, or is Mata-Nui not in the matoran universe?
19Thanks in advance .
201) Yes 212-2b) Yes 223) I don't plan on revealing it anytime soon, but I am not going to say its origin is essential to the story. We know it existed as energy all along, and that it was unleashed by the GC. 234) Yes 244a) Yes 254b) They know of his legend 265) No 276) Krika can fly, and so can Takanuva. Just because there aren't obvious features on sets doesn't mean they can't, just means I had to be more imaginative in bringing it about. 287) We never stated if it was or wasn't revealed in our universe, but how would it have ever been in the DM universe? Lhikan was killed and Nidhiki would certainly gain no benefit by telling anyone. 298) Yes 309) Yes 3110) No, because I alter general plot as I need to. I have that authority. 3211) What I have said is that if all life in the universe ends, and no new life comes to replace it, then Mata Nui would die as well. You have to think about the purpose of the mask -- to basically allow the Great Beings to scrap mistakes and start over. If they need MN to run the universe, it would be pointless to kill him too if the intent is to fill the universe with new life, right?
33Krika can fly . yay .
34So... Takanuva can fly... thats new. I wonder how? I can see Krika doing it, considering he is a Makuta, but Takanuva? I'll have to think about it... maybe levatation discs in his feet? I don't know, his mask power is still the same, and Light and Shadow don't let you fly....
35Yes, I'm lost. Woot.
36Takanuva flying .I wonder how, but I can understand Krika.
