1Hey Greg. Quick Question.
2Mutran is the Makuta of only Voya Nui, right?
3No, he is the Makuta of an entire chunk of the continent which happened to include Voya Nui.


41) So is the Tren Krom Penninsula part of the continent as well? 52) Were any of the Barraki originally a Vortixx? 63) Were any of them a member of Krekka's species? 74) Sidorak's? 85) Botar's? 96) Does Takanuva grow after or before DM? 107) Willl Lesovikk be in the summer serials? 118)Have you planned out what the summer serials will basically be about? 129) Is Gorast's mask power disruption? 1310) Is Bitil's mask power summoning different versions of himself from the past? I have heard this, but I'm not sure if it is true. 1411) There are other female Makuta, right? 1512) If there are, about how many out of the original 100 were female? 1613) Is it true that the Final Battle originally have another name? 1714) Will you ever be able to tell us what it is? 1815) Is Krakua's island fortress in the Matoran universe? 1916) Is it going to be in 2009?
20That is all for now.


211) What land mass it is a part of has not been revealed yet 222) No 233) No 244) No 255) No 266) After 277) It's possible, but not certain yet 288) Yup 299) Yes 3010) Yes 3111) No 3212) No idea 3313) Yes 3414) After 2008, yes 3515) Yes 3616) No


37So whoever said the time thing with Bitil was right. Sweet mask power, but kind of strange.
38:t::a::k::a:

391. He does have a point. 402-5. Now we know the Barraki have different species that we know of. 419-10. Cool . The Toa Mistika Nuva are in danger though. 4211. Does that mean she's the last female standing?
43So far so good, 2008 seems better then 2007. Can't wait for 2009.

1Greg said that it gives away the eneding, so it might not affect 2009.
2:t::a::k::a:


3But Greg said if he revealed 2009 it will give away 2008 ending so the begining of 09 is connected to ending of 08.

1Some more stuff from greg:
2Hi greg, hope you don't mind answering these.
31. Tren Krom did the wall /spike thing in FoF similarly to how teridax did the pillars of protodermis in LoMN, right? 42. Did he mean to give mutran the info? 53. Does vezon's spear (in FoF)have any powers 63b.takadox's sword 73c.carapar's sword 8I hope you can part with thes few smidgeons of knowledge 9Toa Robert

101) Hasn't been revealed 112) No, but when he looks into your mind, often you look into his 123) No 133b) No 143c) No

11.) Could a Toa of Iron halt a being in their tracks, (because every biomechanical being has metalic parts,) just like a Toa of Ice could halt an avalanche or a Toa of Water could halt a tidal wave?

21.) Under those circumstances, yes
#1606
1Here's a few interesting quotes, though most of you are probably already familiar with this:
  • 2Seeing as any regular Toa can become evil by his or her choice, is it possible for a Matoran/Toa of Shadow to be good? 3No. The reason a normal Toa can turn bad is that they have both light and darkness in them, as we all do, and so can make moral choices. A Toa of Shadow has no light in them, so no way to choose good.
  • 4When a Toa of Shadow is created, does he/she feel obliged to serve anyone? Supposedly, the one responsible for them becoming a Toa of Shadow in the first place? 5Since they are evil, they would serve the cause of evil. They would not feel like "I must obey the Makuta," but if they saw personal gain from doing so, they would.
  • 6Is it possible for a regular Toa to become a Toa of Shadow by their own will, and revert to their previous state, provided they didn't have their light drained? 7No.
  • 8Why don't Matoran/Toa who've been drained of their light get to keep their old element and just become evil? Or perhaps the switching of elements is just part of the whole process? 9Because using a standard (non light or shadow) element requires there to be a balance in the person. A Toa or Matoran of Shadow is not in balance, because they have no light. A being who was all shadow or all light would not be able to use elements other than light or shadow.

1Some interesting (well to me) answers fom Greg.
2QUOTEHappy day after Easter . 3First I would like to thank you for your time. And second I would like to say I've been buying a lot of sets lately and I just wanted to give Kudos to you and the reat of the lego team. 4Okay, Here are some of my questions.
51.)Does the toa Ignika been powered down from his mask form? If yes how so?
62.)I think I read that the toa Ignika could stil give powers to himself and others is this true? Can he take away the powers?
73.)Toa Ignika has the power to both transform things and "de" transform others corect? Does he get to choose what they look like/what abilitys they get or is it more a "ZAP . (random mutated freak created)?"
83.)Does the toa Ignika have control over the things he brigs to life?(like Thok can) Or is is more like "ZAP . (Flying matoran eating rock created)?
94.)Can the Toa Ignika make inteligent things? Or just mindless rahi?
105.)If the 4 is yes. Could the Toa Ignika's inteligent creations remember their pree "ZAP ." life so that he could ask them something? Example: "(Toa Ignika)Hello rock. (Rock)Hello Toa. (Toa Ignika)Have you seen a Makuta around here? (Rock) that way ."
116.)Do Toa Ignika's creations have shorter lives or do they have the same lifespan as any other rahi? Longer?
127.)Can The toa Ignika turn his creations back to what they were so that their arent a bunch of living rocks messing with the enviorment?
138.)So seeing as the toa Ignika made a skybord out of bactiria, could he makeother things out of bactiria? could he use some other object like stone ice or wood to make things like that?
149.)This may sound odd, but can the Toa Ignika chanel life energy out of his sky bord?
1510.)Could a Toa chanel his or her power out of a empty Zamor Launcher? A squid launcher? A midak skyblaster? <(longshot) 16Thank you so much . 17Sincerely, EWPW.
181) Yes, because some of its power has to go to maintain its new body 192) It can still curse others, yes 203) No, it does not 214) The Ignika has never really "made" anything -- simply evolved or devolved things that already existed. 225) But a rock is not a creation -- it is something that has been given sentience, but there is nothing to remember about its past life because it had no past life -- it was inanimate and not sentient, so it had no experiences ot remember 236) If the power of the Ignika gives life to an inanimate object, that object is alive until killed. 247) Yes, by withdrawing their life 258) He has to work with organic molecules, but if he has those to work with, yes, he could 2610) Yes. Any physical object can be a focus for Toa power 2710 I found REALY cool. 28:tohu: EWPW :tohu:

1QUOTE 2Dear Greg, Here are some questions,
31. Does Makuta know what Mata Nui looks like? 42. In Time Trap, Krakua said that Vakama would sent the Inika to Voya Nui, but Vakama never sent them? 53. How long would it take Icarax to adapt to being organic? 64. Would Adaptable Armor match a Makuta's adapt ability? 75. Do the Phantoka get the vehicles in the swamp? 86. Would 6 toa be enough to beat Kardas? 97. Wouldn't Dweller have to move soon if the Archives are being repaired? 108. What is the T9 in Axalara's name? 119. Why did Krika disobey Teridax in executing Miserix? 1210. In Downfall, Teridax said that he was going to make Hydraxon pay, why didn't he do it (by killing him)?
13Thanks .

141) No, but if he did, it wouldn't make a lot of story difference at this point 152) But Vakama also took no action to stop them -- he knew they were going once Nokama admitted what she had done. Vakama could have told Dume to send out a search party to bring them back, or done it himself, and he did neither, which made him responsible for their journey. 163) We'll see. 174) Close to it 185) Yes 196) Well, six Toa beat him before. 207) The Archives are vast. It's like if you were hiding in the Smithsonian and they were doing repairs -- you just keep moving to where they aren't working 218) Vehicle designation 229) Because Krika is not convinced the Plan is going to work the way the other Makuta think it will. 2310) Because he has more important things to do. His Plan depends on precise timing, he doesn't have time to pursue grudge fights.

1I tried to send a PM, but Gregs PM box is full. Oh Noes . Who sent a large amout yesterday?
#1610
1Whoa. Bigger news. 2I suspect the theories and speculation to be posted soon in the S&T...inlcuding here...
3Hello Greg . 4First of all, I just read BL9. I love it. The comic relief and character development were my favorite parts. It's nice to see both Toa Ignika and Kopaka grow.
5I have a few question I was hoping you would answer.
61) In a PM sometime ago, you told me Gorast's Mask of Disruption "had to do something with power use". Will her mask stop or make it hard for the victim to control their power? 71a) If yes, is it Elemental power, physical power or mask power?
82) Will the name "Artidax" be used in the summer?
93) Who was the first shadow Matoran, Vican or Vultraz?
104) Does Vultraz wear a Kanohi?
115) There is something in the swamp that is "equally as important as the Ignika". It is something other than the keystones, correct? 125a) If yes, is it connected to the Ignika?
136) Is Toa Ignika's power level that of a Toa Nuva?
147) What is the extent of the devolution/evolution powers of Toa Ignika? I mean, if there was no limit, he could "evolve" the victim until he/she died.
158) In the BBC, you said there are 5 Makuta Building Contest winners, one of which is GreenBioGuy. The Grand prize winner will be the Miserix (I'm not a Brickmaster, so I'm not sure), is GBG the grand prize winner?
16Thank you for the reply. 17[=-Midnighter-=]


181) Elemental 192) I will probably use it someplace, might as well 203) Vican 214) Matoran Kanohi, yes 225) Correct 235a) No, it is connected to the Toa, actually. 246) Yes and no. The Mask of Life has enormous power, more than an average Toa does, but the mask power cannot be shared, so in that respect, Nuva are better. 257) He certainly could, yes. 268) No. GBG is one of the four first prize winners. Grand Prize winner is female.


272) Possibly for a mask? 284) So it's safe to assume there will be no name or power for it? 295a) The Toa Nuva or Toa in general? 307) Would this take a lot of time and energy? 317a) And I just thought about this, does Toa Ignika have Toa Energy or Elemental Energy? 329) Do Makuta have something similar to elemental energy for their shadow powers (A limit)? 3310) Some time ago, you said that the Tools the Makuta have channel their shadow energy similar to Toa tools. Could it channel their Kraata powers as well?
34Thanks Greg. Very interesting stuff . 35[=-Midnighter-=]


362) No idea 374) Correct 385a) The Nuva, from when they were Mata 397) Time, not much, energy, a decent amount 409) Yes 4110) They don't really need their tools for that purpose

1Hello.
21. How did Vakama activate the Vahi in LoMN before he had even learned to control his own mask?
32. Could Destral teleport onto dry land as a hill?
43. As islands are essentially partially-submerged mountains, when Destral teleports, does the entire underwater landmass below it teleport too, or does it just sort of float? 53a. If it does, what happens if it teleports to a deeper part of the ocean? Does it sink?


61) Just found the right way to do it .. it's a mental thing, and as with the other Toa, it seems to just suddenly happen -- you just "get it" 72) Wouldn't be the smartest thing in the world to do, since you run the risk of merging your land mass with another one when you materialize 83) We don't know that it is that sort of an island 93a) No, it floats

102. But it would be cool thing to do. :)
113. If not that kind of island, what else would it be? Does it float Voya-Nui style but without a cord?
12And one more question I just thought up:
131. I remember someone asking you how Kopaka flies without engines on his wings, and I believe you just gave a vague response that the armor was capable of flight. (Which I can't exactly blame you for.) 14Anyways, because they have many lines and holes running up them, I've been imagining that the wings work something like a Kahu's wings. (Except probably all blue and icy and such.) 15Would you say this is fairly accurate?



163) Fact is, we have no reason to believe any island in BIONICLE works the way a standard Earth island does ... for all we know, something else could be responsible for holding them in place rather than their being partially submerged mountains. 171) No idea. I haven't worried about the science of it, I don't have the spare time.

1here some questions i asked greg
2good afternoon greg, i just have a few questions:
31. lets say bitil used his mask and summoned himself from the past, wat would happen if the bitil from the past would get killed, wouldnt that be kinda confusing, seeingthat bitis present self would not exist
42. now lets say past bitil get damaged, would the damage heal when he goes back to his timeline
53. when takanuva gets to karda nui, would he recognize krika, or was he in a different form in dm
64. could a shadow leech drain the light off of toa ignika 74a. and if it could, will it become a toa of shaddow 84b. and would it still have its life powers
95. would tahu and com. run into matoros mask 105a. if yes would they take it with them
116. what was tahu and com. looking for in the swamp initially, scince they didnt know about the keystones
127. did the mistika see toa ignika blast off from the swamp
138. what would a nova blast of gravity be like
149. what were matoros feelings toward nokama when they were toa metru
1510. im kinda confused about the volitak, does it actually make you invisible, or does it only dampen the sound that the person makes
1611. will the toa hagahs mask powers be revieled
17thak you in advance


181) If one his past selves gets killed, his present self would cease to exist. 192) No. 203) Different form 214) Hard to say, because Ignika is not a living being the way Tahu or Takanuva is -- it's an object that made a body for itself. As such, it most likely would not have light and shadow in it like a normal being would. 225) No. Matoro's body ceased to exist, including his mask, it was converted into energy. 236) What they are looking for is the Ignika 247) No 258) A wave of gravitic energy 269) Huh? Matoro was not a Toa Metru. Nokama was. Matoro was an Inika and a Mahri. 2710) Volitak makes you harder to see, it does not make you invisible 2811) It's certainly possible


291.) so if he wouldnt exist, then what would happen to anyone his present self damaged or killed
302.) then how is the battle damage healed, because woldnt they notice that they were summoned becasue of the battle damage
316.) they how do they find out about the keystones, if the toa phantoka bearley found out after the toa mistika left
329.) im sorry i ment matau not matoro
33new questions.
341.) are the makuta phantoka afraid of the toa ignika because of what he did to icarax
352.) will antroz hit the swamp, as he is falling because of icarax's gravity power


361) Nothing, because you would wind up with an even bigger paradox if we undid everything he did. If we undo everthing he did, then he never came to Karda Nui, and so never summoned his duplicates, and so one couldn't die, and he wouldn't have ceased to exist. Would give you a headache :) 372) The fact that you know you must have been summoned really doesn't matter, if you don't know where to or what happened there. 386) Because Lewa tells the Mistika in comic 12.5, which is going to be on the web. 399) They were friends. There is no romance in BIONICLE. 401) No. Makuta don't fear much of anything. 412) No, because he has Makuta down below to save him

1Here is some info about the Makuta contest and ~GreenBioGuy~'s "Makuta Stonax. Questions are normal, answers are bold, comments below.
2I recently saw that ~GreenBioGuy~'s MOC is one of the 4 first place winners in the Makuta Building Challenge. I have a few questions about his model and the contest, that I would like you to answer.
31) Is "Makuta Stonax" (GreenBioGuy's MOC) a cannon member of the BoM? 42) If so, is his essay and name cannon? (If his name is not cannon, but the Moc is, could you reveal the cannon name?) 53) How did you know that this winner was a BZP member? (I hope that he isn't the only BZP member, as we will have to wait to May to see the rest) 64) Are all the entries going to be 7A: featured in Brickmaster? 8B: Cannon Members of the BoM?
9thank you 10~iVahi
111) No, none of the first place winners are canon. That wasn't part of the contest prize. 123) Because I knew GBG's real name from earlier PMs he had sent me, and I recognized it on the entry. 134a) Yes 144b) No. Only the grand prize winner's prize is to be part of the universe, the first prize winners are not characters in story.


151) Too bad, I like Stonax. 163) Good. I was worried that GBG was the only BZP member, meaning no other entries would be viewable untill May. 174) Cool . 184B) Drat .

1Just got these from Greg today. #9 explains why Takanuva is bigger if anyone was confused. My questions are in a normal font while Greg's are in bold:

21) At one time you sent me this answer talking about the Great Beings:
3In brief, it's never been stated that the GBs have created other universes, only that they might have. I can confirm for you that there is no other GB-created universe on the planet that story is set on now.

4To me that sounds somewhat suspicious. I mean, why would the Great Beings create a Universe, then go out somewhere else far away and just sit there and do nothing. Were you just saying that because we have no clue what the Great Beings are actually doing? Or is there more to it than that and they may be doing something different that we would never even guess? Was it because you were bored one day and felt like making me think? :P 51) It's simply the truth. There is no evidence of any kind regarding what the GBs are doing now or have been doing the past 100,000 years.
62) How do Bionicles talk? Is it how it is shown in all of the movies with little voice vibrators in their masks? Or do they talk some other way? 72) We pretty much go with the movie approach
83) When a Matoran absorbs a Rahi's energy or whatever they eat, does it kill the Rahi or is it just weakened? 93) The Rahi is normally already dead at that point (like the fish sold on Mata Nui)
104) If the Toa Ignika was to devolve a Toa into a Matoran, would the new Matoran have to do the same thing he did originally to become a Toa to transform again or would he have to do something else? 114) He might not even be able to become a Toa again, if he was not destined to become one twice. But assuming he could become one twice, something would have to spark the transformation -- wouldn't necessarily have to be the same thing that did it before.
125) #4 got me thinking. If the Toa Nuva were devolved into the Toa Mata by the Toa Ignika, and then devolved again, what would they devolve into? 135) They couldn't be devolved again, because they had no incarnation prior to being Mata.
146) Do you think that the set designers were taking a leap when they created more complicated sets? I thought the Target Group disliked the complicated designs of older sets. I myself am actually glad for the design of the vehicals and even hope to get T9 when it comes out. :) 156) Doing more complex/expensive sets is always a risk, but BZPers have been saying they wanted them back for years -- now we will see if they will buy them or not. These kind of sets tend to be seasonal -- people spend a little more to buy presents at the holidays.
167) When exactly do the summer sets come out? Is it late July, early August, or late August? 177) Official release date is 8/1, but often they hit stores in July.
188) What do the Toa Nuva plan to do with T3 and T9? Are they just going to use them to protect the Matoran, or are they going to go down into the swamp and help the rest of the team? 198) They get them in the swamp
209) Apparently you told someone that Takanuva is larger because he was a Av-Matoran and that Av-Matoran are larger than normal Matoran. That kind of confuses me though. As a Matoran and in 2003 he was never bigger than a normal Matoran or Toa. You also said the Av-Matoran were larger only because they have been exposed to whatever was in core for about 1000 years. Could you please clarify this? 219) Yes. The Av-Matoran currently in the core have been there the last 1000 years, since the Great Cataclysm. Takanuva, as Takua, was not -- he was in the core only briefly 100,000 or so years ago, so it did not affect his size. As a Toa, he reacts differently to the power of the core, so it affects him more quickly.
2210) Which summer sets are you planning to get? 2310) Don't know yet, depends on what kind of room I have to display them

1Hi Mr. Farshtey, I have some questions,
21. You said that Gorast is the only female Makuta. Do you mean she is the last living female Makuta, the only female Makuta appearing this year, or something else?
32. Do any Artakha Bulls actually live on Artakha, or is it just a myth?
43. Could Toa Ignika devolve a Shadow Matoran back into an Av-Matoran?
5Thanks a lot .
6-Prototoa



71) Last living 82) It's a myth 93) No. The Matoran did not evolve into shadow Matoran, they were turned into them by having their light drained, so they can't be devolved into their old selves.

1No, Makuta can only control plants because the power is plant control the other powers aren't sonic control, magnetism control etc just Sonics, Magnetism so on, so on
2DW


3The question involved the word control, Greg said "correct," and you're telling me he can't control Sonics &Co.? Riiight.

4Yep. Tahu's power is not called "Fire control". It is called "Fire". Does that mean Tahu can't control fire? NO.


5That's because Tahu's element is fire, so he has fire control as part of his power. Makuta's element is shadow not fire. He can only shoot sonic, magnetism etc not manipulate and so on so forth as it is not his element.
6DW



7Right, greg said that every makuta power except shadow is non-elemental. Meaning they can't create, control, and absorb it, but can only do one of those things, except for shadow. Like, sonics, they can create. plant control, they can control. shadow, they can create, control, and absorb. simple.

1Well, I've just got back a second PM from Greg... He must've lost my first one... He says he's sorry- just see number 6 . (First Box is Questions, Second Answers)
2Hello Mr. Farshtey (again), 3I am not sure you got my last PM about Takanuva- About all of it was questions about Takanuva. Anyways, I just got some new Q's now.
41) Kardas Dragon is not on Metru Nui anymore... Am I correct?
51a) If not, can you say where he is... And if you can, where?
62) How many shadow powers of a Makuta could Takanuva's shadow use?
72a) Can you list some? If you can, list them. (Pleaz.... And thankys .)
83) Will the Toa Mahri be in a summer serial?
94) When do you suppose these (winter) serials will end?
105) In the Final Battle, will Takanuva appear to fight?
115a) Krakua?
125b) Order of Mata Nui?
135c) Dark Hunters?
145d) Toa Hagah?
156) Do you sometimes get annoyed by an endless flow of questions?
167) I heard with shadow powers, Takanuva has got a bit of a darker attitude- right? If so, would the way he sort of treated or thought of his other self (DM Takua)- he thought of him as "really annoying" - a sort of example to that, or is it just how a normal character would react?
178) Do you enjoy writing- and of course, speaking- as Takanuva?
189) Who would you say is the "star(s)" of Bionicle? I.E. Toa Nuva/Mata, Takanuva, OoMN, etc.
19Thanky you if you get and answer these questions Mr. Farshtey, as your onslaught of PMs must be HUGEMONGUS (another new word I've made) and I am not really helping. Thankys again. 20-Pyro


211) No, I never said that 221a) Metru Nui 232) Most, if not all 243) Possibly 254) They are scheduled to end sometime in May 265) The only one of those who will appear in the Final Battle book is Takanuva -- other characters may appear in serials, but they won't be in the Karda Nui main story because they are not sets this year. 276) No, just feel bad if I can't keep up and people have to wait for their answers 287) Takua is really annoying, you don't have to be half shadow to feel that way 298) I enjoy doing all the serials 309) The Toa, always have been


31EDIT: Okay, I just got my missing answers (look above for story)... So...

32Hello Mr. Farshtey, and happy Easter. Yay for choco-bunnies. Anyways, I have a few more Q's after reading the OGD again. (Almost all are about Takanuva.)
331. Takanuva's weapon is called the "Power Lance"?
342. Takanuva's journeys in transformations- i.e. Journey and Dark Mirror- are after Bionicle Legends 9 and 10, yet before the Final Battle?
353. Will Takanuve participate in the "Final Battle"?
364. In question of Taka's powers, has he discovered his "dark side" by DM 5?
375. Are Takanuva's characteristics- and lines- fun to write?
386. Will Toa of Twilight be an official name, or just still a nickname between fans?
397a. Will Kardas come across the Mahri?
407b. If so, will they fight?
418. Takanuva's new form will be gained in which story:
42a. Dark Mirror 43b. Journey of Takanuva 44c. Legends 10 45d. Legends 11
469. Legends 11, the Final Battle, is the last of the Bionicle Legends, right?
4710. How long do you think Bionicle will last?
4811. About the "re-boot", can you tell us ANYTHING? Other than what we already know- like it's not in our Matoran Universe-?



491) Yes 502) Correct 513) Yes 524) Yes 535) All BIONICLE characters are fun to write 546) Just a nickname 557a) Might 567b) Well, he tends to be fairly destructive in nature 578) Bionicle Legends 11 589) I don't know for sure. No discussion has been had on whether we are switching to a new umbrella title in 2009 5910) Impossible to predict. That is really up to you and fans like you and how many sets you buy and for how many years. 6011) No, not allowed.

18) No. GBG is one of the four first prize winners. Grand Prize winner is female.


2Wow, now we know more about the winner .
36) Because Lewa tells the Mistika in comic 12.5, which is going to be on the web.


4Yes . I hope this will be in May, to Make up for the fact that there is no May BIONICLE comic.

1QUOTE 2Dear Greg, I have some questions:
31. How would a toa channel elemental energy through a cordak blaster? 42. What would Vamprah have done if he saw Matoro in the waterfall? 53. Are the Hagah's destinies completed? 64. If Icarax really wants to kill the Nuva, why doesn't he just use magnetism to kill them? 75. Would a turaga of light get powers with a toa and would their light blasts be stronger than matoran blasts? 86. Have we ever seen an Avohkah?
9Thanks .

101) Same way he would do it through a sword or an axe. It's a physical object. Rather than use it as its designed, Tahu would just send a jet of flame out of it the same way he would his sword. 112) The Makuta were expecting him, so most likely he just would have told the others he was there. 123) Yes 134) Well, if he does that, he would be betraying the Plan, and the other Makuta would kill him. So that's a last resort. 145) All Turaga have some level of elemental power, which is always stronger than what a Matoran can do, even in this case an Av-Matoran 156) No
#1628
1Interesting about the Cordak blaster... maybe toa can channel their energy through anything? Like, Tahu can pick up a rock and blast fire out of it? :P
#1629
1they can channel their power through anything. but some objects can't take the strain of being near their elements, like using a plant to channel fire, as it would burn to ashes. toa tools allow for weapons and long lasting focusers.
#1630
1They could probably do it with a midak, and Greg's PM storage is full :blink:

17Rahi in the Swamp of Secrets according to Biosector01. But it's not native: It came in with others with the Makuta.

1Just a few questions regarding Spiriah's Matoran companion.
21) It's said that this Matoran plays a part in Federation of Fear alongside Spiriah. Is this true?
32) Does the little guy have a name, and an actual mask to go with it, or is he just nameless and maskless? (Note: I put an Arthron on my version of Spiriah's Matoran if he does have a mask.)
43) Is the guy an Av-Matoran, Shadow Matoran, or a standard Ta-Matoran, judging by his color-scheme?
54) Given the Matoran's maskless appearance and legs as long as a Toa's, is this guy mutated, or was that the designer's plan given the pieces to work with in the sets required to build the model?
6This last one is on a different topic.
75) Are there names for the masks of the 2008 Matoran (Radiak, Gavla, Kirop/Vican, Tanma, Photok, and Solek) and if so, what are they? I'd like to know, out of curiosity? 85a) If there aren't any, would you be inclined to make some up?


91) Well, he hasn't so far, so we'll see 102) Not yet, no 113-4) Haven't decided. He's basically part of the model so we can show off the connection feature, so he hasn't been top priority for me yet 125) No, there aren't. Since they will not be used as masks with powers, I can't see investing in $60,000 worth of BIONICLE names for them at this point (since each name costs about $10,000 to clear through Legal)


13You've probably had some people already ask this, but I just thought I'd ask.
141) If the winner of the Makuta Building Contest is to be Miserix, then what was the point of the essay if it wasn't going to be used? Why renege on the opportunity for the winner to have had his original creation featured into the story? Wouldn't the winner feel a bit cheated?
152) About the Great Mahiki, is it's only power Shapeshifting, or can it also do the various illusions that the Noble version can do as well?
163) The BS01 Wiki has said that Gorast, Bitil, and Krika are locked to their current forms and cannot use some of the full complement of Makuta powers. Is this true?


171) The point of the essay is to help us judge the creativity of the overall entry. In a lot of cases, the essays are not usable anyway because fans do not know enough about how this universe works to create characters in line with our plans. (As an example, the person who created Toa Krakua simply specified a Toa of Sonics -- everything else about that character and his role in story was created by me. I do not hear the original creator complaining.) If we were not offering the chance to be a part of storyline, we would still have asked for the essays, but no one outside of us would have ever seen them -- they would simply have been used to help judge the entry as a whole.
182) Yes, it can
193) Correct
