1Oh, so they were like police officers...
2No, they weren't like police officers. They were like scientists. Actually more like bioengineers. 3Greg just made that analogy to help us understand why Mata Nui would entrust an inherently evil element to a powerful being. He related it to trusting a police officer with a gun.
1QUOTE 2Just wanted to ask something and confirm something.
31:What is Nynrah? 41a:Are they evil or good or kinda in between? 51b:Are they servants of the BoM? 61c: Were they creatures from another diminsion, or something like a failed experiment like Zyglak?
72: Bitil has the power to have different form of himslef come from the past? Is this a mask power or something extra like chirox controlling his shadow hand. 82a:Couldn't he call on himself from the 6 months of forgefullness and sind out out he did during that time?
93: Trumina is made from the mistika toa?
104: Gorast has some sort of mask of disruption? or uncontrollability?

201) Nynrah are extremely skilled Matoran craftsmen who work for the love of their craft. They are not evil, because the work they did for the BOM was done before the BOM rebelled against Mata Nui. 212) Mask power 222a) For what purpose? He wouldn't learn anything of use from that. 233) Trinuma is, yes 244) Mask of Disruption 255) Because the set designers designed it that way 266) Roughly the population of one village 277) This is summer story, so you will have to wait until then 288) I don't want to reveal this 299) Being in Metru Nui without an identity tablet to prove who he was 3010) Odds are she wouldn't believe him, and if she did, she most likely would try to spread her crusade to the main universe. She does know about the Olmak, but only in the way Brutaka normally used it, which was to get from Point A to Point B in our universe really fast through dimensional travel. She does not know there are alternate dimensions out there, anymore than Brutaka does.

1The Nynrah are Matoran? That's new.
1Hello, Mr. Farshtey. I have some various 2008 questions here for you.
21. On Bionicle.com, why is Toa Ignika's Mind stat a 14? That makes it supposedly smarter than a lot of other characters, but its "brain" seems pretty...rudimentary to me. 32. You recently confirmed Gorast's Mask of Disruption makes Toa's powers go out of control. Does this work on anyone's powers, or just Toa power? 43. Does she have any degree of control over it? Can she, say, force Kopaka to create an ice bridge for her to cross, or is she basically limited to using her mask on him and then running for cover as everything around him gets frozen? 54. When the Makuta evolved into their current forms, did their existing armor become hollow shells that are now known as "Makuta Armor," or did their entire bodies turn to energy, after which they sought out Artakha's help to make new armor for them? 65a. Is the reason Toa would not want to use Bitil's mask power because there's such a risk of messing up the timeline? 75b. Would you say Bitil is somewhat reckless, then?
81) You are talking about two different kinds of intelligence, though -- look at some of the great scientists of the world, who were brilliant in their fields but had no social skills at all or real understanding of social interaction between people. Ignika is smart, he simply has no experience as a living being, so he reacts based on that. But how he reacts emotionally and how smart he is are two different things. 92) Anyone's 103) She does not have that kind of pinpoint control, no 114) Artakha did not make their new armor, the Nynrah modified the armor they had. And they turned to energy before they modified the armor. 125a) Yes, plus it is just unnatural to be pulling yourself into your own future 135b) Bitil makes do with what he has -- that's his mask power, what's the point of having it if you don't use it?
11) Is there anything below the Matoran Universe? Like another universe or is it just loads of lava?
22)Is the Lightstones light connected with Karda-Nui?
33)Where do the Makuta's viruses come from?
44)Teridax's location robot gaurds, who put them there, and who built them? 5a) Great Beings?
65)Are the Great Being 7a)Omniesient (sp?) 8b)can see the future? 9c)can foresee mutiple futures?
106) Was the Makuta who made the first of Keetongu's species, alive, or was he hunted down because he joined Miserix's side, or he was he on Teridax's side but died on a mission? Or is this something you never bothered to think about?
117)What kind of Rahi did Teridax make?
121) I can't discuss this 132) Yes 143) They make them 154) Can't answer it 165) Can't answer it 176) Not something I have worried about, since it's not relevant to the story.

5that'd be good wiping the main universe off Dak hunters and makuta.
1Hi . I'll skip the formalities. Just hoping you can answer these:
2(1) How exactly was Takanuva related to the Toa Nuva?
3(2) If Tren Krom was taking care of the universe while Mata Nui was still preparing to, then when/where did Tren Krom prepare?
4(3) On a scale of 1-10 With 1 being a Turaga's elemental ability and 5 being a normal Toa, where would a Toa Nuva be?
5(4) Do Rahi reproduce or did the Makuta have to make each one individually?
6Thanks for your time . 7-Panakalego
81) He's not. 92) He didn't. He was created for that purpose by the Great Beings. 103) 6 114) There is no biological reproduction in BIONICLE, so no, they do not reproduce
12I'm sorry, i guess i'm still confused. Answer 3 &4 are fine, but i wasn't very specific on question 1. was Taka ever considered to be a member of the Toe Nuva? And if Mata Nui had to be trained by the GB's, then how was TK able to suddenly just do it?
131) No, he was not 142) Where has it ever been said MN had to be trained before taking on his job? MN had to be brought to life before he could take on his job.
15Then, why didn't they make MN first?

15Then, why didn't they make MN first?
16Maybe they just weren't ready for him yet?
1They probably needed time to make him, and had TK control stuff while they were preoccupied. He does seem kind of rough, they probably just hastily slapped him together.
11. Why did Makuta want to keep the Matoran away from Metru Nui?
22.5This part confuses me. If Takanuva is the only Toa of Light, then why are Av-Matoran more likely to become Toa?33. Why did the Makuta in Karda Nui took the Matoran light against their will?43) Because Av-Matoran are statistically more likely to become Toa and would become Toa of Light. The Makuta don't want more Toa of Light, so they corrupt the Matoran so that if they become Toa, they will become Toa of Shadow.
63. Could a Makuta possess Rahkshi armor? What about Adaptive Armor?
74. What did Jovan's team give up their Toa Energy for?
85. 9a. Can Adaptive Weapons adapt to become other weapons? 10b. If so, is this why the Toa and Makuta both have Ghostblasters? 11c. If yes to a., can Adaptive Weapons adapt to become weapons that currently aren't in existance?
121) Because the first step toward awakening Mata Nui was repopulating Metru Nui 132) "More likely" does not mean "has already happened." Simply means statistically more likely to happen. Matoran don't become Toa until they are destined to do so. 143) No. Makuta can possess robots or living bodies without spirits, not just empty armor other than their own. They have no physical bodies to make the armor move. 154) Hasn't been revealed 165) Yes 175b) Ah, but the two sets of blasters do different things. 185c) No
19Not really much. Just some things I was wondering about.

17Actually, Takanuva is considered an unofficial member of the Toa Nuva.
1Wait, when did Greg say Antroz was dying? When did that happen?
1I'm suspecting that the map is a cross-section of the planet,but it doesn't really make sense.
1Some stuff
81) No, it's not. 92) Yes 103) Yes, he could - look how long Makuta was disguised as Dume -- but it would depend on the Toa. He could use his magnetic power to pretend to be a Toa of Magnetism, but a Makuta cannot create fire, ice, air, water, stone, or earth with his powers. 114) Well, giving up their light pretty much equals corrupting, and the energy thing was a natural evolution. Don't assume this took place over a short span of time -- between the time Teridax first got the idea to overthrow Mata Nui when he actually did it, 79,000 years passed.
2Hi Greg, I have a couple of questions I hoped you could answer.
31) Is the reason that the Av-matoran are larger than normal related to the depowering of the Mistika Makuta? (this one is probably a 'can't answer this')
42) Who appointed Miserix as the Makuta leader, Mata nui?
53) Could a makuta successfully shapeshift into a toa for a longer period of time? or are there things that 'give him away'?
64) It seems the makuta went through a lot of changes in a short time period. Transformeing into energy, giving up their light, corrupting. Are those events all connected somehow?
7Thanks for your time

15) Can Makuta control any Elements besides Shadow?
25) No
3I even remember Greg saying this before, but they control all of the Kal abilities, 5 of which are elements, no? Greg even mentions them using Sonics and Gravity now and again, I believe...
4They have those powers, but not as elements (they can't absorb them or control them).
5They actually can control them, but not to the fullest extent. 6I mean they can create and blast say, Plasma, they also can control the created Plasma, just not as great as a Toa.
1To Greg,
2Please could you answer these questions,
31. How did the matoran first get in their heads that mata-nui was brilliant 42. How come the hole that voya-nui went back to in bionicle legends 8 was shaped just like voya-nui? wouldn't be in the shape of voya-nui with mahri-nui attactched? 53. What happened to Kalmah and Pridak after Bionicle legends 8: downfall? 64. If the piraka were Skakdi what creature was Irnakk and if he was created who created him?
7Thank you for your time.

8They do??? Interesting. I think they're like the Zamor spheres on Voya Nui. Both heroes and villains used them, but each set does different things. I wonder if other sets of Ghost Blasters do different things...

1Stuff about the Nynrah ghosts . .
2Hey Greg,
3I was wondering if you could answer some more questions
41 ) Was the makuta of artakha the only makuta who knew it's location? I always thought is was pretty common knowledge with the landbridge and all.
52a ) Were the Nynrah crafsmen matoran from artakha? 6b ) If not where did they came from?
73a ) Did the Nynrah build the exo-toa? 8b ) Did they build the 'Fohrok'? (fake bohrok)
94 ) Am I correct in assuming that the Mistika makuta use the ghost blasters against the toa, and the adaptive weapons copy the blasters to match?
105 ) In dark mirror the Makuta of Artakha is still alive right? Does that mean Artakha's location is not a secret here? (didn't the Artakha events happen way before the nui stone incident?)
116) Did MoMN ever carry out parts of his plan in DM?
12Thanks in advance,
131) Yes, he was. Remember, the land bridge did not go to a continent, it simply went to another island. 142a) No, they came from elsewhere 153a) Yes 163b) Yes 174) Yes 185) No, it is not a secret here. 196) Nothing significant, no.
1cool . now we know who made the fohrak and exo-toa .
1Ok I have a lot of questions, so I know you have answered before, but unfortunately I have lost all of the quotes I have gotten from you over the years.
21) The source of light and heat in the swamp is what made the Av-Matoran and Takanuva grow? (I will call this Kar-Energy). 31a) Will Takanuva stop growing if he is continuously exposed to the Kar-Energy? 42) Kar-Energy is produced by Av-Matoran? 52a) If not, do they maintain it somehow? 63) Is Kar-Energy the way Karda Nui "feeds the world"? 74) Is it Kar-Energy that powers lightstones? 84a) If so, does it power anything else other than lightstones? 94.If yes, does it also somehow power elemental powers or Toa Power in anyway? 105) You've said that if Mata Nui is awakened while there are Makuta in the core, something bad will happen to the Matoran. Is this to do with Kar-Energy? 116) Kar-Energy is not really related to the Mutegan in anyway? 127) Is Kar-Energy involved in Teridax's plan? 138) Is Kar-Energy involved in waking Mata Nui? 148a) Is it needed to maintain Mata Nui's health? 159) Kar-Energy is not what mutated the Rahi Tahu remembered? 1610) I remember you said that the Kar-Energy could spike. How does this happen?
17Thank you .
181) Yes 191a) Yes 202) No 212a) Not directly, no - remember, they have not lived in Karda Nui for most of the last 100,000 years, yet that energy has still been produced 223) Yes 234) Yes 244a) It might 254b) No, it does not 265) Something bad may happen to anyone in the core when he awakens 276) Not directly, no, though are both are forms of energy 287) Not directly 298) In a way, yes 309) Don't want to answer this one yet 3110) Follow the story and find out
321) What have you been doing in your work recently?
331) BIONICLE 2009 bible, July US and US BrickMaster, BIONICLE 2010 screen treatment.
1Yup, I asked greg a question about that. As soon as he replies I'll post
1Wow, nice info everyone . 2Excellent job with the Karda Nui questions Adventurer, though it wasn't a direct "yes" that Mata Nui would be awakened, it certainly supports the idea greatly. 3Nice job with the Nynrah as well Mirror Lessovik, I'm personally surprised that Greg revealed it this early. Maybe he just didn't plan on bringing it into the summer story. I wonder how they would know how to create a Fohrok... unless they maybe got to study an original Bohrok. 4Anyhow, great job . I found a lot of helpful info for my next theory. 5 6-Ax-
6-Ax-
13a ) Did the Nynrah build the exo-toa? 2b ) Did they build the 'Fohrok'? (fake bohrok)
33a) Yes 43b) Yes
5Wait, wasn't it stated that the crafters of the Fohrok sabotiged the machines after they found out that they were used for evil, and were sentenced to death??
6So maybe they're dead. Wasn't adapting the Makuta armor the last thing we know they did?
