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.
4Unless Takanuva convinces DM Matoro to come to our universe. (I'm sure Kopeke is opposing this, since he's working on the "Next Big Story"

5Greg said he wasn't bringing any DM counterparts into this Universe, as it would get to confusing.
1XW, Greg said no characters would coming out of the DM universe (besides Takanuva) because it would be confusing.
1So some basic stuff on krana here... wasn't that already common knowledge? That, or one of my "theories" was actually correct . 
2And you're all talking about how it's a "waste of a pm" to ask him about the low-res image of Mazeka-- I'll go do it. Got some random questions to ask, too, about matoran and stuff. 3-Cressona 4EDIT: sorry, didn't realize I'd wandered into someone's conversation here... and btw, the island Mata Nui's not playing a major role in the story this year, so I doubt that it's actually the being. 5See you guys in the Official Mata Nui's Status Topic, then.

2Hey GregF. Airloft apoligizes if you don't like his questions.
3.. Since only Turaga and Av-matoran can create new Matoran, does the process involve using Elemental Energy?
42. 2009 takes place in another Universe, not another dimension, Right?
53. Are there Rahi in the new universe? 63a. If yes then what kinds? 73b. if no, Why? 83c. if unaswerable, airloft is sorry.
91) When did I ever say only Turaga and Av-Matoran can do that? 102) I can only say it does not take place in the Matoran domed universe. Beyond that, I cannot comment. 113) I can't discuss 2009

1Hi, Greg, it's been a while, and I thought I'd just drop you a line and see how you were doing. And, while I'm here, how about a few questions? 21. In the OGD, there's talk of a low-res image of Mazeka that you have. Could you show it to us? 32. Will the illegal, banned movie that was mistakenly released ever be allowed to be released for real, and if so when? 43. Did you decide what mask Miserix wears yet? 54. It seems to me like everyone hates the matoran: the makuta all think they're puny little wimps that are a waste of time to protect, skakdi and vortixx resent them as well, and the zyglakk naturally want to kill them. Is there a reason for this, and is there any species that doesn't hate matoran? 65. What's the point of having a mask of time in a universe where not a single being can control its power? 76. I can understand if you can't answer this, but is Mata Nui (the being) the same entity as Mata 8Nui (the island)? Do they have any connection to each other, and if so, can you tell me what? 9That's all for now, and thanks for taking the time to read and answer my questions. 10-Cressona
111) It's not in my possession. It's on LEGO's designer network, so I don't have access to it to send anywhere. 122) Doubt it very much 133) Nope 144) Keetongu's species doesn't. The Bohrok don't. Artakha doesn't. I'm sure others do too. It's only natural you see a lot of species that don't like them because if they did like them, they wouldn't make good antagonists for the Toa. 155) Well, without it, Makuta would have won in 2004 and the Kal in 2003, so seems like it has come in handy, don't you think? 166) Well, we know there is some connection, because Mata Nui the island is the roof of the dome that houses Metru Nui, and we know repopulating Metru Nui was important to Mata Nui's health. So in the sense that there is a geographic link between the two, the answer is yes, the same way there is a link between an eggshell and its yolk and the health benefits you receive from the yolk.
17Some fairly intriuging stuff here. Too bad we won't be able to see that Mazeka pic, but some very interesting info on Mata Nui in number 6 there... I think I need to go ask him some follow-ups about Mata Nui now... *runs off to make more questions*. 18-Cressona
1Fabulous information right here:
14So now we know the insignia of the BoM. This is going in the wiki when it gets back, I promise you that.
2Hello again, Greg. I sent this PM a while back, and either you didn't get it or didn't notice the question I tacked onto the bottom. Either way, I'm confident you are willing to put forth the time to give me some sort of answer, regardless of whether it is the one I would like.
3Hi, Greg. A few questions for you:
41 ) Is the Betrayal Contract which was given to Takadox a Brotherhood of Makuta Tablet of Transit such as the one that Vican carries in Bionicle Legends 9? They seem to be the same sort of item-- identifying for the Brotherhood that a person is someone they can trust who would normally be presumed an enemy of the Brotherhood?
52a ) The Betrayal Contract is described as having the Brotherhood of Makuta insignia on it. Is this insignia the same as the one featured on the Makuta fortresses of Destral in BIONICLE WORLD (pictured here)? This information would be INCREDIBLY useful on the Wiki. 62b )If yes, was this always the symbol of the Brotherhood of Makuta, or was it only implemented after Teridax's coup d'etat? I ask because it features the Kraahkan.
7Thanks in advance.These answers will probably be useful to have, if not for the wiki at least to satisfy my curiosity.
81) What was given to Takadox was not a betrayal contract -- it was a Tablet of Transit. The fact that he had one was proof he had betrayed the Barraki, because why would have have something that identified its bearer as an ally of the BOM if he hadn't? 92) See answer to #1.
10Thanks. It was never identified by name in the "Downfall," and the page on BS01 still doesn't identify it as such, so I figured I would need to get clarification. And looking back I realize 2b was silly, since obviously Takadox had gotten his tablet of transit before the coup, and it's the one identified in story as having the insignia.
11Still, would this insignia be the same one featured in the illustration I linked to? I am simply curious about this, as if it is it would not only be a great addition to the BS01 Wiki, but also a neat little detail to throw into my drawings somewhere.
12Thanks in advance.
13It would match the symbol shown in the BIONICLE World book.
14So now we know the insignia of the BoM. This is going in the wiki when it gets back, I promise you that.
1The BS01 Database has been temporarily locked, Lhilertoro, until Swert gets back.
1And thanks to another quote we now know that this one character could be Teridax....
2Actually Greg said that Teridax won't be appearing in the 2009 or 2010 main story. So the 2009 character will be someone different.
3Actually, he does not appear at all in 2009 or 2010 main story. When I say "extends beyond this year," I am speaking long-term, not "next year."
4Greg
5I think Teridax is working on something in 2009, or trying to escape something, figthing something, or something like that ( wow, that are much sometimes
) and that he will appear in a 2010 serial and that he is the central-enemy in 2011, since bionicle will last at least untill 2011. ( I think the 2009-2010-2011 story is a trilogy ). 6and more off-topic stuff: I think Mata-Nui will be the 2009 character from this universe, since greg said he's in a character form.
7and isn't 'Mata-Nui' an excellent, epic, name that new-fans are gonna love
1Wait a minute...Makuta antidermis isn't immune to Pit mutagen? That might explain Terry's absence in 09-10. Might.
1It's not? Odd, Teridax went into the Pit in 2007 before he got the Maxilos to use as armor, and he seems fine... 
1Hi Greg
2Just one question:
3Is the BOM curse their constant longing for power and never to be satisfied with what they're given?
4HotC
5Ah, Heir, you have come the closest to the right answer of anyone who has PM'd me on this -- you have got half of it.
6Speculation starts here
7I'll PM him about the second "half" of the curse later.1@.@ That sound like a Math activity, I hate Math...
1so they either long for power or are never satisfied with what they have. i say never satified with what they have as all the makuta don't want power. i think.
1so they either long for power or are never satisfied with what they have. i say never satified with what they have as all the makuta don't want power. i think.
2When he says that Heir got half right, he means that he got half of the curse but there is still another half that he needs to guess.
3By the way, I figured that the curse was something like that, as it would explain why even before they shunned their light they were still invariably bad.
1Some question I had about Krika's and Gorast's Masks
2Hello, Greg, hope you have a good day and you don't have too much PMs. I've got some questions:
3Regarding Makuta Mistika masks:
41) With the Mask of Repulsion, can you choose who gets repealed (if user or attacker)?
52) There's something I still don't understand about Gorast's mask, so I'll put an example: If Tahu throws a blast of fire at Gorast, and she uses her mask, will the blast go out at any other direction? 62a) Would it work with all Makuta powers, or only shadow, since it's their elemental power?
7Thank you very much,
8
91) Yes 102) It doesn't control the direction of the power, it controls the strength the power is used at. 112a) Yes, it would work with other Makuta powers
2Just one question:
3Is the BOM curse their constant longing for power and never to be satisfied with what they're given?

5Ah, Heir, you have come the closest to the right answer of anyone who has PM'd me on this -- you have got half of it.

8Aha . It is mental . 9Nice find Crudelious .
10Hmmm...A curse like a seed implanted in their head of resent to Mata Nui?

13It's a good curse. It was obvious that they would fail against such powerfull being as Mata-nui is, so when he finally wakes up, all makuta will end up whiped out of planets surface.
2I have been thinking about another members question, and I was wondering, is the Makutas Cures like there pride in the sence that they think they can do anything, like taking down Mata-Nui for instence
3Very good, MoJ

5And that only further confirms what I said above
1oh, I just noticed your post

5I think he said that the curse that the Makuta have is their pride, that they think they can do anything. 6In a way, that the curse is their ego.
7But don't know if I understood it right
8EDIT: and what Darth Gonwa in the next post said.

4I'm sorry... but I have no idea what he's trying to say. Two people said very good find, so can you explain to me what he's saying?
5I believe he means that their curse is the fact that they are over-confident, believing that they are, or should be, all-powerful and that they can take down Mata-Nui and rule the universe. So it looks like the curse on the BoM is that they constantly lust for power, never satisfied with what they have and believe they are entitled to the power they lust for.
1hello,greg,hope you're doing well,just got 6 questions for you today.
21.how long term is the red star beings storyline?3 years? 31a.when will we see them again?

13have a nice day,
14mistika gorast
151) A while, and I can't predict when we will see them again, as only 2009 story is finalized at this point, not post-2009. 162) Probably Antroz 172a) Yes 182b) I don't recall offhand what the vehicle is armed with 193) I have only seen an image of the set, I haven't seen the set itself, so can't answer this 204) Probably today 215) No 226) Follow the story and find out
23I got this PM today,so MC8 should be up soon.

1Greetings . I'm sorry to add to your load of PMs, but there are a few questions I'd like to ask.
21. Firstly, is the term "Rotating Blades" the official name for Brutaka's sword?
32. Has the Ta-Koro/Metru Guard selected a new Captain yet? If so, can you tell me who?
43. I might not get an answer to this, but will Zaktan's knowledge of the Brotherhood's Plan have significance in the future?
54. And finally, I'm a bit confused. Does the surface of the Bionicle planet count as the same universe as the domes?
6Thanks, and have a nice day .
71) I usually refer to it as a twin-bladed sword. 82) I am sure they have, but since I am not doing a story about Metru Nui, I haven't worried about who it is 93) We'll see 104) No, it does not. To the Matoran, their universe is inside the domes, because that is where they are meant to live. Outside of the MN Matoran and the VN Matoran, no other villagers even know there is anything outside of the domes.
11Good to know.
1I hope this isnt completly off topic but if you read BL9 at the end with Makuta when he says he hopes the loose Makuta loose because they are over confident i guess he is talking about the curse
1Nice stuff about the curse, though I didn't expect this. Next question : how did they get this "curse" and who put it on them ?
1The whole curse was something that we knew about Teridax this whole time. I wish I thought of that
2I have been thinking about another members question, and I was wondering, is the Makutas Cures like there pride in the sence that they think they can do anything, like taking down Mata-Nui for instence
3Very good, MoJ

5Sweet . 6-High Fives-
7Funny thing is it seems it was implemented in Teridax...
8Going to ask Greg about that.
9[=-Midnighter-=]
1Just some new info.
2Hello, Mr. Farshtey,
31. You recently said in a PM that the byproduct of the Matoran creation process can, if dipped in EP, be turned into Krana. Does this have any connection with the "Bohrok and Balta" statue in the OOMN HQ?
4Actually, I don't think I specified that it had to be dipped in EP, but anyway, no, that is not the meaning of the statue. Meaning of the statue gets made clear in June in Bionicle Legends #10.
1I know you can't give me a straight answer on this one but if you can just tell me if I'm warm or not I would be very grateful.
2You said that the trouble with finding Mata Nui isn't actually finding him, it's knowing that you've found him?
3You also said that when Mata Nui died and the Ignika went grey it symbolized his death? Correct?
4And there is a connection between Mata Nui and the Toa-esque shape on the Ignika?
5Is is possible that Mata Nui resides within the Ignika? Or perhaps that Toa-esque shape represents MN's form?
6Doubt I'm right, but I figured I'd ask before I forget.
7Thanks for your time.
8Actually, I can give you an answer on this.
9We know Mata Nui has a physical form. We know that, outside of Tren Krom, just about all the intelligent life we know of has what we would call a "humanoid" form. We know the Ignika is used to restore Mata Nui's life. So it is perfectly reasonable to assume that the carving of a "humanoid" figure on the mask would represent Mata Nui, since he is is the intended recipient of its power.
10Awesome answer.
