1QUOTE 2QUOTE 3QUOTE 4Hi Greg . I hope you have a good day, if you have enough spare time could you answer my questions please?
51.-Why The Toa Metru never rescued Turaga Dume when they took the matoran pods out of Metru-Nui 62.-In Bionicle Adventures 8 on the battle in the Tower of the Toa it says: "Sidorak cursed in a language that had been old when Metru Nui was new" was he speaking Agori language? cause that would be great 73.-I remember you once said that the prototype robot is the size of Africa, is this true? 84.- if yes then what is the size of the Giant Robot? 95.-Does Jaller miss his Hannah Crab? 106.-On Bionicle 2 how did Lhikan reached Vakama in the battle with Makuta?, some members assume that he asked Nuju to lift him up to help Vakama while others say that the delated scene were the Lohrak attacked Turaga Lhikan had something to do with it, but which one is true? 117.- I think you didn´t recieved my last message so I will ask you this again (sorry If this question bothers you) 12I know that on Bionicle 2 Vakama used the vahi to slow down Teridax´s shadow hand but he couldn´t control the mask and he slowed himself too then Lhikan jumped in front of him and died, how did he died if Teridax only took Lhikan´s shield? 13that´s all for now I hope you can answer me thak you
141) Because Dume chose to stay and look after his city until the Matoran's return 152) No 163) I don't recall ever saying that, no. I have no idea what the size of Africa is in feet. 174) 40 million feet high 185) I doubt it, he didn't have it that long 196) That was six years ago and I did not write the movie, so not something I can recall 207) Simple. Let's say you are reaching to grab something in a hurry. Someone suddenly gets in your way. What happens? Your hand hits him. In this case, Makuta was sending out a shadow hand to wrest something from a powerful Toa, and instead he hit a Turaga. A Turaga is physically a lot weaker than a Toa, so the impact of the blow killed Lhikan.

21thanks Greg but if you don´t mind I´ve got som new questions
221.-let´s say there´s an island inhabited by matoran, no one here has ever seen a Toa so they don´t know how they look like. Then one day a Makuta arrives and syas he´s a Toa, after that a matoran founds a Toa stone and transforms in a Toa, my question is: would this matoran look lie the Makuta because he believes him to be a Toa? 232.-does Miserix have any light inside him? 243.-I recall reading that you said that Makuta don´t breathe air except Gorast is this true? 254.- why Vezon didn´t gain any powers when he was separated from Vezok? 26that´s all I thank you for your time and have a good day
271) Good question. My answer is no, simply because while how a Matoran looks as a Toa DOES depend on what he thinks a Toa looks like, that does not allow him to actually change his species. To look like a Makuta or a Skakdi, for example, he would have to change his species. 282) Doubt it. 293) Correct 304) Because we chose not to give him any.
31Finally one of my questions is acknowledged to be a GOOD question . :happydance: 324) poor Vezon :P

11a. When Tahu uses his Heat Vision power, is his eyesight temporarily weakened like the Rahkshi of Heat Vision? 21b. Does Hakann? 31c. Did the Makuta species?
4Thanks .

#12285
1Hi, GregF. I just had a few questions:
21. Would a Toa be able to store Toa power in an object other than a stone? Say, for example, a tool or weapon? Perhaps a mask?
31b. If so, then would all a destined Matoran need to do (to transform into a Toa) is get the object to a Suva?
42. Will the "Alt. Teridax &Mazeka vs. 3 Shadow Takanuva" subplot ever be continued/resolved?
52b. The disappearance of the Shadowed One and/or Pridak's campaign of universal domination?
63. On a related note to 2b, does the partially reformed League of Six Kingdoms pose a future threat to the new society on SM?
74. What would you say Lesovikk is doing right about now?
84b. Does he still have his sled?
9Thanks for your time.

111) Yes 121b) Yes 132) Yes 142b) Yes 153) We'll see. 164) Probably adjusting to life on Spherus Magna 174b) Would he need it on dry land?


184b. The BS01 article states that the sled can also hover for travel on dry land, so he could use it above the water. But did he bring it with him to SM? It seems like it would be a useful thing to have.


194B) He may have, but I haven't dealt with his evacuation yet
#12286
1Actually I was going to ask Greg about Lesovikk. Last we saw of him, he and Sarda were swimming off into the ocean together. The Aqua Magna ocean. Outside the Mata Nui robot. Problem? I think so. Clearly Greg's decided that Lesovikk made it back in, but how?
#12287
1I saw the thing about how when Matoran change to Toa they change into what they think Toa look like. But how lose could they get to looking to a Makuta?

20Just think how cool it would be if a Toa put some of his energy into a sword. The destined Matoran could take the sword to a Suva, and become a Toa a la He-Man.

#12292

1Hello Greg, 2I sent you some questions a couple weeks ago, but they never got answered. In case you never got them, I'm sending them again:
3Makuta - 41. Can a Makuta get a new set of armor made that has all the same abilities as the original, such as shapeshifting, if he/she lost the original body/armor suit?
52. Before they evolved into gas, was the organic tissue of Makuta made out of solid organic Antidermis?
63. Since Rahkshi armor is transformed from Kraata, is it made out of solid metallic Antidermis?
7Protodermic Water - 84. A while ago, you said as far as you knew it didn't rain in the Matoran Universe. But it rains at the beginning of Web of Shadows, so does it rain or is that non-canon?
95. Is it possible during the Great Cataclysm any lands in the MU were flooded by the protodermis sea?
106. What about the GC causing tsunamis in the MU ocean?
11Toa/Dark Hunter War - 127. What did the Vahki do during the Dark Hunter invasion of Metru Nui?
138. What did the Metru Nui Matoran do then?
14Misc - 159. In Birth of a Dark Hunter, it is said of Nidhiki's homeland (the Tren Krom Peninsula) "Toa struck from the shadows or they did not live very long." At that time, what could be such a specific threat to Toa?


161) I'm not going to say it's impossible, but it would be extremely difficult, as creating protosteel that can shapeshift would be beyond the capabilities of 99% of crafters. 172) Yes 183) Yes 194) Sorry, I didn't write the WOS movie, so things like that sometimes escape me. My guess is that was more of a fire prevention system that kicked on as a result of the crash, rather than actual rain. 205) Temporarily swamped, possibly, but not permanently flooded. 216) No. The system is designed to prevent that sort of thing. 227) I would have to check the timeline to see if they were active in the city at that time. 238) In classic Western movie style, they hid and watched.


24Interesting stuff about Makuta there.
#12293
1I find it a little ridiculous that it would never, EVER rain in the Matoran Universe. Greg himself has said that certain buildings in real life are big enough to create minor weather systems, which is true, and those domes are beyond massive.
#12294
1it's possible metallic protodermis does not evaporate like water does, or the air filtration system keeps the air at perfect humidity.
#12295
1But how would plants grow then? And wouldn't creatures need to drink water to survive?

8Why so interesting? Toa are essentially human, if you don't count the whole bio-mechanical, made of a synthesized material, and having elemental powers thing. Also, we've seen that the Hagah have recently suffered from a very strong hallucination (albeit Makuta-induced)

10It'd be possible, but I wasn't given the impression they'd have spontaneous hallucinations. :S

3Well I mean they did have to rush to create a robot the size of earth very quickly before their planet exploded. We don't know how long that it took for the MU to be contructed do we?

#12314
1Hello, Mr. Farshtey. I sent you this same pm a day or two ago, but I think it got eaten by the server. Sorry if this is a copy.
2I have a few questions.
31.) Was Dume elected or appointed? 41a.) If the latter, who appointed him?
52.) How does Metru Nui's goverment work?
63.) What is your take on Antroz?
7Sincerely, X-Ray.


81) Dume is a Turaga. Turaga become leaders of their villages/cities by virtue of being Turaga. Ex-Toa are seen as being the most worthwhile leaders. 92) As I said, it's run by a Turaga. Dume was the only Turaga in Metru Nui, hence he ran it. Later, when the other six Turaga came, they formed a council of advisers for him. 103) I don't know what you're asking.


113.) What I meant was, how would you describe him, and what is your opinion on him?
12Oh, and here's a few new ones...
131.) Are M.U. inhabitants capable of building up muscles through exercise?
142.) Might Agori/Matoran/Glatorian/Toa use exercise regimes?
153.) How far does a turaga of a place's authority stretch? Does he have to have approval, or does whatever he say go?
164.) Do MU inhabitants have a skeletal system? 174a.) If so, would it be possible for an MU inhabitant to break a bone?
185.) Same question for Spherus Magna inhabitants.
19:akaku: X-Ray :akaku:


203) I really haven't thought about him in a while, since he's a two year old character and he's dead. Do you have something specific you wanted my opinion on? 211) Yes 222) Yes 233) A Turaga is basically in charge. There isn't a Congress, etc. he has to get approval from, though he may well consult with Matoran on some issues if they are closer to the issues than he is. 244) Not really, no, their "skeletons" are their metal inner structure. They don't have bone like we think of bone .. their bones would be their inner structure minus any organic material. 255) Yes, SM inhabitants do have skeletons


263.) Well, It's just that I think that Antroz is -or rather, was- a pretty cool character. I think he had a lot of potential as a villain (With his rough sense of honor and all) and deserved to be fleshed out a little more. Well?
273.)Unfortunately, I don't really have the spare time right now to do extensive character sketches for characters I don't plan to use anymore. Sorry.


28Ah well.

101. Can a user of Heat Vision control how hot the beams are? 112. Could Heat Vision hypothetically be used to wield objects together? 123. Could a Toa of Fire theoretically use a sort of Heat Vision by channeling heat through their eyes? 134. Is Heat Vision a common vision power among the Skakdi?

4Thank-you for your time. 5The Smoke Monster

6Yes

7Then would you say that a slightly deranged Toa could talk to an imaginative person? For example, a Toa sees a Matoran next to him, and can even talk to him, but the Matoran really isn't there.

8It's possible. Vakama was talking to people who weren't really there through most of the Time Trap book, after all.


9This should help me with my story.

5It's pretty simple if you think about it. The robot is massive, and the horizon on earth is only around 10 miles out I believe. Therefore inside the robot's elbow it would probably gradually transition from one angle to another. It would be so gradual that you wouldn't be able to notice it. Like you can't tell that the earth is round even though it is. This is because of how gradually it changes.
