1Wasn't the Spear of Fusion used to mess up the formation of a Toa Kaita, fusing two of the Toa into Prototype?
1Hey Greg . I have a few questions for you.....
2One: During and after the Battle for Bara Magna, what became of Strontius? Did he get captured with his troops, or did he manage to escape (assuming he can make story interesting by remaining as a threat on Bara Magna with the Skrall)?
3Two: Would it be likely that the residents will try to attempt a mission to retreve energized protodermis from the matoran universe (assuming that it would be important for uses of restoring Matoran required systems that would serve a function like creating new matoran)?
4Three: What will most likely become of the other-tribed matoran (ones besides the six main tribes, ones like light, plantlife, gravity, less common ones in other words)? Will they be united with the villages or will they form their own version of a tribe?
5Four: About what percentage of the Bara Magnian desert was restored after the Battle for Bara Magna? If enough of the desert was cured, would this have effected enough Vorox by forcing them to migrate into the restored areas and possibly start returning to a normal state of being (nonbeastal state) from relying upon different instincts in the new environment?
6Five: What is likely to occur with the Vortixx now that they are on Bara Magna? Are they going to attempt to set up a similar way of manufacturing and living like they did in Xia?
7Six: What will the toa and glatorian do with the captured skrall and skadki afterwards?
8And seven: Are there any upcoming plans for Bionicle so far (I heard there were possible talks for reopening the Bionicle line in 012)?
9Thanks .

111) Stronius was not captured 122) No. Last time they had EP around, they went to war and shattered the planet. Why would they want it back again? 133) I think the first question is, will the tribes all congregate together (fire with fire, water with water). I would hope not. That sort of artificial segregation helped lead to the war. 144) Most of it. But I don't think you should assume the Vorox are just going to snap back to normal. Psychological issues don't develop over night or go away overnight. 155) It's what they do, so yes 166) They will have to make a prison for them 177) No. No one that I know of at LEGO HQ is discussing bringing BIONICLE back. The focus right now is a successful launch of Hero Factory. If BIONICLE did come back, I doubt it would be in 2012, which is only two years away. Normally, if LEGO shuts down a line and brings it back (or some variation of it), several years pass. Look at the gap between Life On Mars and Mars Mission.

18AND look at the drop off in quality from Life on Mars to Mars Mission. Granted, it's all opinion, but Life on Mars was very unique and ground breaking, Mars Mission, just another generic LEGO theme. BIONICLE is VERY unique, groundbreaking, awesome, so do you really want it "revived"? I mean, just bringing it back would be fine, like the set designers going back to it, and the story still going, which would be easier thanks to both Greg and us, but that wouldn't necessarily happen. It might be a shadow of what BIONICLE is now.
1Answers from The Great Greg about Gresh's Gorgious Accessories.
12I wonder who made them...
2Hello Greg, just some trivial questions.
3What color is Gresh's satchel? (From JE?)
4How long has he carried it?
5How big is it?
6Do any other Glatorian have pouches?
7Like who?
81) Brown 92) He usually has it on his mount when traveling 103) Bout the size of a bookbag 114) Yes -- we know, for example, the Ackar was packing for a journey in the movie, so obviously he had to be packing stuff in something.

1yeah i remember already seeing this. it's not new.
1Four days ago I sent a PM to GregF but he still hasn't responded. Is this normal? 
1I know this isn't the right place to ask, but I couldn't think of anything else. I have heard people mention the first Toa of Psionics and it's on BS01. I would like to know when we heard this and who she is? Or was it someone simply asking Greg if there has been a Toa of Psionics before?

2Someone was simply asking if they could use that as their character for the Sleeping Awake contest. There is no actual mention or appearance in the canon of such a character.

3Are you sure? Go look up Psionics on BS01, it implies something like that was said.
1It's been asked to GregF if at least one Toa existed for each Toa element and he said yes.

19*Crosses fingers for BIONICLE be back on 2012* 20Or that wasn't what he meant
?
2First of all, I'm sorry I argued with you so much in Febuary or something.
3Second, I'd like it if you could answer some questions about Bionicle.
41) If two Iden users activated their Idens and sent their spirits flying out of their bodies, could Iden User #1 fly into and steal Iden User #2's body?
52)If a Sanok user uses his Sanok to fling a projectile with great accuracy at a far away target and then takes off the Sanok before the projectile hits its target, with the projectile still be accurate?
63) If two beings are wearing a Pehkui and a Mask of Growth (both Nuva masks) and decide to share the powers of their masks with both them and the other being, will they both grow, both shrink, stay the same size, or will it depend on something else?
74) Is the Iron Tribe Plague fatal PERIOD, or does it only kill most of the time?
85) Can Thok use his vision power on the robotic parts of other people?
96) Can the Matoran and Agori communicate right now?
107) Is Mata Nui dead right now, in a similar state to his thousand years of "sleep" or a completely consious mind without a body?
118) Are you allowed to tell whether the Ignika is at risk of initiating its countdown again?
129) Can a mask forged from Kanoka be re-molded back into the Kanoka?
1310) Is it possible for there ever to be multiple Masks of Time?
141) Yes 152) Yes 163) Would most likely depend on the individual willpower of the users. If the willpowers are pretty much equal, then the effects of the two masks will cancel each other out. 174) It has been fatal up to now. 185) No idea. 196) Yes 207) No, he is dormant but aware. 218) It's not. First off, evil is no longer winning, so the universe is not imbalanced. And the Ignika countdown is keyed to the MU, which is already dead. Once it's outside the MU, the countdown stops. 229) It can be melted down, yes 2310) I don't think so, since there aren't other Great Disks to make one from.
24Those are some pretty good questions . I wonder if The Toa Ignika's consciousness still exists...
1Yes, it does. It's just inactive.
1Hey, Mr.Farshtey. I hope you're doing well.I just had a quick question:
2In Mata Nui Saga, it makes it look like Mata Nui died, while in reality he actually survived. A member suggested that Mata Nui may have been originally planned to die. Since MNS was written before books or comics, I thought this could be true. So is it?
3Thanks .
4No. Mata Nui was never planned to die. The original plan actually was for him to make another body and actively participate in things, and then HQ decided they wanted him out of the picture for the time being.
1Although it has been established that the Toa Nuva are the strongest.
1Obviously.

5Lego is certainly leaving possible storylines for if Bionicle ever returns.
1Dear Greg,
21. Can a Toa of Psionics wipe memories or affect them in any way? 32. If a mask of psionics can access all psionic powers, wouldn't that downgrade masks related to the element such as the mask of telepathy? 43. When will the next serial chapter come?
5Thanks
61) I doubt if they could wipe them, they might be able to temporarily mask them 72) Possibly, yes, but you could just as easily argue that if you have a Mask of Fire, why would you need a Toa of Fire around? Well, what if you have the mask, but no Toa in the neighborhood? What if you have a Mask of Psionics, but no Mask of Telepathy anywhere around? 83) Soon, hopefully. It is mapped out, I just have to type it.

9So elemental masks DO give the user full control over the element then? Hmm, I thought it gave you only a specific aspect of the element. This is cool to hear.
1It does. You just need to concentrate a lot more to make it work, or to even do something big. Like Hewkii when he lifted the Coliseum for a few minutes.
10No, they don't, and that wasn't fully what that quote implied. Masks will not be able to let you absorb it or have the EE based control over an element. You can create similar effects, but not on the same scale.

1Hi, Greg. Hope you're well.
2First off, I just wanted to say, I appreciate everything you do. You do so much. Every day, you constantly answer all our PMs with questions, and kindly answering them.
3Another thing you do (which I'm sure is a first for most popular storylines like BIONICLE) is let the fans into the action. You allow several contests in which the fans can enter and add to the story, a privilege which I'm sure the entire fanbase appreciates. It's like finding a fresh gold mine to us when we get the oppurtunity to enter a canon contest, and actually winning the contest is the same as keeping the gold. The last time I ever saw Stan Lee or George Lucas creating a canon contest was never.
4And you're not acting on orders from HQ - you're doing all of this in your spare time, when you could be playing Marvel video games, pursuing other hobbies, or doing other activities. Instead, you take all your time and give the action to the fans.
5And the amazing part is, the BIONICLE line is over, and, regardless, you still continue to do these things.
6In a nutshell, thanks for everything you do, Greg. We all appreciate it.
7I also have a few questions (if you have the time).
8Have a great day, Greg.

101. For a Makuta's illusion power to work, does the victim have to be in contact?
111) Physical contact? No.
121a. Can a Makuta's illusion power trick the mind and make the victim forget an event?
131a) Yes.
142. In a comic, it's stated that Teridax has ruled the MU for months. But, some things don't add up - at the end of Dwellers in Darkness, Helryx is trapped inside Teridax's head - yet just a few Reign of Shadows chapters ago, she got out. And in the middle of Destiny War, the League of Six Kingdoms made their agreement with the Dark Hunters to meet on Karzahni. yet, just one Reign of Shadows chapter ago, Pridak was waiting for the Shadowed One. 15Now, did you mean weeks, or should this just be overlooked?
162) Does it ever say in ROS how long Helryx had been there? If not, why do you assume it would only be weeks?
172. Like my second statement about TSO and Pridak, some things really don't add up time-wise. But, then again, all that early 2009 stuff (the first couple comics, Raid on Vulcanus, all those serials) couldn't have happened all in just a few weeks. 18But still yet, Vezon can't have been running through dimensions for months... or has he?
192) Why not? We already know that time often passes at different rates in other dimensions. He could have gone to another dimension, been there for two days, and come back to find weeks had passed in the main universe.
203. I'm a little cofused - what's the difference between a Toa of Plantlife and a Toa of the Green? Or are they the same thing, just different titles from different sources?
213) Same thing. I refer to it as the Green. Other people on BZP call it Plant Life.
224. BS01 doesn't really give a clear statement on Mata Nui's mission, so let me try - Mata Nui worked on looking at how other civilizations' worked out, then he was supposed to go to Bara Magna, recreate Spherus Magna, and tell them how to live. But when he was going back to Bara Magna, Teridax crashed his systems and made Mata Nui fall into Aqua Magna - am I correct?
234) Bingo.
245. Out of curiosity (you don't have to answer this one) which Marvel super-hero is your favorite? I think either Spider-Man or Punisher are mine.
255) I like Captain America, when he is with the Avengers ... I liked the Hulk back when he was gray and smart ... I like the Fanastic Four ... and Iron Man was cool back before they started hitting Tony with different physical ailments every two issues.

5I have a couple questions: First, in the Toa Nuva Blog from 2007, Lewa and Onua convince the Matoran in Karzahni to go to Metru Nui. How would the Matoran do this? There can't be too many boats docked at Karzahni...
61) All that was needed was for one Matoran to make it to Metru Nui with a message from the Nuva, and Metru Nui would have sent boats out to get them.
7Second, I would assume sometime in the near future that at least one Skrall or Skakdi would find a place in governed Spherus Magnan society. Is my theory sensible, or will the Skrall and Skakdi detatch themselves from the rest of their world?
82) Let me ask one back -- how many Mongol warriors were accepted into European society? 9-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10Number One was for my fan fic, too.
