1Hmm. Teridax, and, unfortunately, Brutaka, aren't going to be in next year... Hydraxon mabye? Doubt it, but he was sort left behind...
1He did say the curse wasn't the Antidermis thing, didn't he? Well, only thing left I can think of, then, is the shunning of light, which all the Makuta did...
1I think it's something physical, but I'm not sure... 
Well, we know that the curse was there from when they just started, or weren't in existance for a long time... Maybe it actually was the curse that created them...

2Maybe its their ability to shapeshift? That is both good and bad, because you can take on many forms, but you dont have a set form...
1Well, we're getting off-topic. We ought to continue in the Official Brotherhood of Makuta Topic. 
1Yea... Hey, where's Greg? I haven't seen many questions from him 
And if it's because of that whole 'give greg a week of peace' thing, that makes me mad because he answers these questions willingly and he isnt forced to.
And if it's because of that whole 'give greg a week of peace' thing, that makes me mad because he answers these questions willingly and he isnt forced to.1A few quesations for you GregF.
21. I've read in the Official Greg Disscussion that a Makuta would be mutated if he/she were exposed to the Pit Mutagen. Would the mutagen affect both their armor/body and their Antidermis, or would their Antidermis forms be unaffected?
31a. If their enegy form is affected then why wasn't Teridax and Icarax mutated while they were in the Pit?
42. Will the Niazesk be appearing in any books or comics this year?
53. Is there any upper limit to how large or small a Makuta can shape-shift? For example: If a Makuta wished, could he/she shape-shift in something as small as a Protodite, or as large as a Tahtorak?
64. Is Roodaka's ability to fire shadow bolts an ability shared by the rest of her species, or is that just her tapping into her inner darkness (which, from what I've heard, is something virtually any being is capable of)?
7Thanks
81) Simple answer. To keep their energy form from leaking out, Makuta armor has to be airtight. Therefore, the mutagen would never touch their energy form and be unable to affect it. 92) Doubt it. 103) Makuta cannot shapeshift into things much bigger than their standard size, because of the need for more mass to do so. 114) Just her
1I heard that there will be 2 characters of the matoran universe a set in 2009 or are in the story? 2is that true?
32a) I have stated that there will be at least one 2001-2008 character who will play a central role in 2009. Beyond that, I can't comment.
4and with 'central role' you mean something as big as Takanuva's role in 2003 ( as at least for me, he was the most important character of '03 )
5Bigger. Takanuva was important in 2003, but only in the story for about 15 minutes.
6Since the charater's not Teridax, I'm guessing that the character could possibly be Mata Nui. Although we've never seen him, we've known about him since the very beginning. Also, since the 'Awaken Mata Nui' story ark ends this year, and if Mata Nui were to be awakened at the end of this year, wouldn't it make sense to see him next year? The set of him would come out next year and not this year as to not spoil the 08 ending. Of course, that's all speculation.
1Adventurer, you do know that he can shapeshift, right?
1Actually, it hasn't been confirmed whether he can shapeshift or not. XD

3Hey Greg .
41) Do you prefer there to be introductions to these questions or do you like to get straight to the point?
52) Since Takanuva has all the powers the Av-matoran have (when in contact with a toa), then does he have all the powers the leeched av-matoran (when in contact with a Makuta) have now that he has control over shadow?
6Thanks . I really appreciate the communication between us the fans and LEGO.

81) I have no real need for intros 92) He POTENTIALLY has access to the Av-Matoran powers, but he hasn't developed those powers and won't in this storyline.
10I'm still wondering if he has the potential to use the kramatoran powers.

1Hello again sir, I would like to ask you a few questions.
21. When Teridax says Mata-Nui is his brother, how? The only way Teridax could be a Makuta is if Mata-Nui is a Makuta also...
32. Did Teridax physically move Mata-Nui to where he is sleeping or did Mata-Nui fall asleep where he fell?
43. Does Teridax know where Mata-Nui sleeps? Is the place accessible to him?
54. Have we ever been to where Mata-Nui is sleeping? If so in what year? Is the place obvious?
65. Can the makuta in 2008 make the vortex from the Online Mata-Nui game that Teridax used against the Toa Mata?
76. If anybody ever guesses the place where Mata-Nui is sleeping, will you allow them to tell BZP?
87. If Trem Krom and Mata-Nui ever got into a fight, and each was at the peak of each of their power; which one would win. Basically who has more power and who knows how to use it.
91) It didn't mean brother in a biological sense. It meant brother in that they both had essentially the same job -- protecting the Matoran -- the same way all police officers are brothers. 102) The latter. 113) No, he doesn't know 124) Sorry, can't answer this 135) The Phantoka can, the Mistika can't 146) No, I won't. Why would I want people to ruin the story for others? 157) Mata Nui, most likely
161. Oh well... 172 and 3 are interesting. So to attack Mata-Nui Makuta had to use a long range attack as in a If you will let me coin this term "Shadow Blast". 184. So this means that we have been to the place before... 195. Cool 6 vortex's against the Toa Nuva. 206. Just wondering. 217. So Tren Krom is like a weak Mata-Nui...

2Ditto.1Besides, I personally think Mata Nui is literally a huge landmass.
3Anyway, these questions are a few days old...
4Hello there Greg, I've just got a few questions for my next theory. 51) Would you say that the same energy in the Core that makes the Av-matoran grow could be damaging or even lethal if a being was exposed to an extremely large amount of it? 62) We know that Artahka was able to teleport the Nuva inside the Core, but do you think he would be able to teleport them out if he could "get a lock" on them? 73) When Mata Nui was dead, (or if he was to remain dead for longer than a few minutes) would the Core eventually stop producing energy? 84) When if Mata Nui was to be awakened, would everyone know simply because they felt a wonderful feeling, or could there be visual change in the Universe as well? 9And one that I just thought of on a different subject... 105) Would you say that Tracker has been recalled from his search for Spiriah yet, or is he unaware that Spiriah is no longer running? 11Thanks . I appreciate it. 12-Ax-
131) No. The Av-Matoran have been exposed to it for the last 1000 years. 142) I think that would be difficult if not impossible 153) Yes 164) It more an intangible feeling, although in Metru Nui the stars reappeared. 175) He's unaware
18and...
19Hey there Greg, just got a couple of quick questions. 201) We know that it would severly damage a Makuta, but what would happen to a Toa of Light or Av-Matoran if they were exposed to the full force of a light Nova Blast, or the equivalent of one? 212) Do the shielded walls of Karda Nui extend all around (and under) the Core like a sphere, or are they just a semisphere? 22Thanks . 23-Ax-
241) Most likely, if unprepared for it, they would be blinded. 252) All around
26Nothing real big, just working on the next theory.
27-Ax- 1Hi, 2just got these from GregF:
18Nothing that interesting, although number 1 is interesting
19LtoF
3Hi GregF, 4I hope you have time to answer my questions:
51) The Toa-like inscription on the Kanohi Ignika, does it have anything to do with Mata Nui (the being)? 61a)If not, will we find out what it is?
72) Will Mata Nui (the island) have any importance this year (I ask because it's my favourite island)
83) The rahi in FoF 8, they aren't Niazesk, are they?
94) Is it true that if the Makuta are in the Core while Mata Nui awakes, something will happen to the matoran?
105) I read in your blog that you saw Mazeka, can you tell me if he has a vehicle or something like that?
11Thanks for your time, have a nice day further,
12LtoF
131) Yes, it does 142) No, not really 153) No 164) Something will happen to the whole universe 175) Yes, he does
18Nothing that interesting, although number 1 is interesting
19LtoF
1Sorry, but Greg says he's not coming back. Resurrection cheapens death.
2Face it, Matoro is no more. He has ceased to be. He has expired and gone to meet his maker. He is a late Matoro. He's a stiff. Bereft of life, he rests in peace. If he hadn't been converted to raw energy, he would be pushing up the daisies . He's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible . THIS. IS AN EX. MATORO.
3Ahem.

1Well, it had better not be a winter set, because we usually see leaked (and not leaked ) pictures before the last book.
2Besides, I personally think Mata Nui is literally a huge landmass.
3Yeah, if there were a Mata Nui set coming out next year, most likely it wouldn't be released until summer.
4Although I think Greg said Mata Nui has a regular form, it'd be pretty cool if he was this huge piece of land.

4Greg has also stated it leads into religion.
5Anyway, two questions, didn't want to bother Greg too much. Theory busted though... >>
6Hello Mr. Farshtey. I only have two questions I was hoping you would answer. Thank you for your time.
71) Is there any connection between Comic #25 from the Year 2005 called "The Final Battle" and this year's book? The comic showed the attack made by Norik and Iruini to retrieve the Avohkii. Any metaphoric or symbolic connections?
82) I want to ask you for a favor, although this isn't really story related. I was wondering if Mazeka's mask is a Faxon. (A black Faxon would look cool, and of course, I'm completely assuming his mask is black). If not, could you tell what year the mask is from?
91) No 102) I really couldn't tell what kind of a mask it was from the image I saw.
11[=-Midnighter-=]
1It would be totally cool if greg could show us this low-res picture...but it´s probably waste of a PM to ask him about it, isn´t it?
1I don't know if this is new, but here it is. It's info on the Matoran creation process.
2I was reading about Krana, and how they are created from the remnants of the Matoran cration process, and I had an idea. Is the thing that is dipped into EP to make Krana also involved in the process to create Matoran?
3Thanks for your time, 4~~
5As you said, it's the remnants of the creation process ... what's left over when the process is done
6Does that mean that the thing that gets made into Krana is a byproduct of the process?
7Bingo
1So does that mean that when the Great Beings made Matoran, Krana (how many is unknown) were made as well? Weird. It's almost like the processes of Photosynthesis and Respiration where many processes lead to two products...
1Hello GregF, I hope I haven't been sending you too many PMs, but I'm the unoffical info-confirmation guy on Bioniclepedia.
21) Was the "Temple of Creation" from MNOG II Canon?
32) Is there a storyline reason for why Takanuva will use a Midak Skyblaster in Karda Nui when he could just use his power over Light?
43) Is Mutran still in custody of the Toa Phantoka? 53b) What will they do with kim when they head down to the swamp?
64) When you say "This universe", are you talking about the Matoran one, the entire BIONICLE Planet, or the actual universe?
75) Will you ever go on a "tour" (like to sign books)?
86) Whatever possesed you to put up with the endless PMing of BZP members?
9Thank you for reading this. I hope I don't need to ask you anything else for awhile... 10-P. L.
111) No idea, not something I am familiar with since I did not work on that game 122) Yes. If he uses his own light, it can't be replenished and shadow would become dominant in him 133) You'll find out as we roll along 144) Matoran domed universe 155) Generally, I only go places that are within driving distance of me, except for my one trip a year to San Diego, and it's usually only if I get invited -- Scholastic doesn't book me on tours or anything. However -- I will soon be up on the www.scholastic.com/authorvisit site, which is there for schools and libraries to get info if they want to invite me. So maybe I will get some invites from that. 166) I first came on BZP basically to correct misinformation (back in '03, everyone seemed to think BIONICLE was ending right after the movie), and that is still a lot of what I do here.
17The only thing I find interesting here is that part about Takanuva, and I don't even think it's new info. But I tried.
1Well, it seems to be more like a waste product is created when a Matoran is brought into being, and that waste product can be turned into Krana via EP.
