1oooooo new version of the topic well here we go...
2QUOTE 3Hi there Greg . ive got some questions:
41.) do the matoran have a form of calander like we do? 51a.) if so could you describe it? 62.) does naming day have a set date, or is it just when a turaga decides to hold one? 73.) when will the MoMN's name be revieled? 84.) are there any inteligent (matoran level) organic cretures on the surface of the planet? 95.) since the great cataclism never happened in the alternate universe in dark mirror, does that mean the matoran are still in their metru nui forms as they were never put into matoran pods?
10thank you for yor time.
111) We have never established a system of timekeeping for them, although we do know they have holidays 122) Set date 133) Definitely in Bionicle Legends #9, if it earlier than that, it will be in the Mutran Chronicles serial 144) I can't discuss this 155) Yes 16

2Hi Greg
3Some questions: 41- If a Toa has got a tool placed on his feet, can the Toa than also focus his element through that tool?
52- What happened to the tools of the Piraka?
63- Are the Zyglak in the DM also seen as a threat for the universe?
7All for now
81) Huh? 92) Abandoned when they mutated, since they had no arms with which to use them. 103) Depends on what they are doing. Zyglak raiding a village are not a threat to the universe -- Zyglak planning to overthrow Mata Nui would be.
11I will ask him the first one again

1I have been thinking about Toa energy, elemental energy and Toa Ignika and I wanted to ask you some questions. Sorry if i'm a bit unclear. I have a cold and it's messed up my brain a bit.
21a )The Ignika cannot evolve a matoran into a toa or turn a turaga into a toa correct? 31b )Though he could make a matoran look like a toa?
42 )Could it be that toa level elemental control is directly related to Toa energy and that without toa energy you could never control an element on the same level as a toa?
53a ) The reason Makuta can control Shadow. Is it because shadow is a unique element? There seems to be a pattern in it 6Shadow matoran= Can launch shadow bolts 7Roodaka= Can launch Powerful shadow Blasts 8Makuta= Full shadow elemental control 9So could it be that when you tap into the shadow element your control over shadow is determined by power and Toa energy? 103b ) Could the same logic apply to the light element?
114 ) If the answer to 3a is no, could it be that Makuta have Toa energy inside them but choose not to use it, give it up or reveal that they have it?
125 ) Would elemental control be considered part of what defines a Toa?
136 ) the reason I have been asking these questions is that I have a theory. Is it correct?
14Theory= 15Because the Ignika cannot supply Toa energy it cannot turn matoran into toa. 16Toa energy gives a Toa his elemental control and toa are defined by their elemental control. Therefore because the Ignika cannot give matoran toa energy it cannot give them toa level Elemental powers. No elemental power= not a true toa.
171) It's a good question, because the Ignika can evolve and devolve beings. The question is, can it actually unlock or restore energies, or only alter physical appearance? 182) I would have to say no, because if that's the case, how do you explain the Bohrok and the Kal, who had elemental powers and were not Toa? 193) I don't understand your question. 204) Makuta do not have Toa energy, no, only Matoran can have that. 215) Control over an element is one of the things used to define who is a Toa and who is not, yes, but only one. 226) I would agree that no elemental powers would normally mean not a Toa, although the Nuva were still considered to be Toa when they lost their powers in 2003. The Ignika would not need to give a Matoran Toa energy to make him into a Toa, if he was destined to be one -- but it would need to be able to trigger that energy in the Matoran, and there is no proof it can do that.

2This is the place to post stuff you PMed Greg, not ask about the Mutran Chronicles.
3Oh, and here's my question:
4Ok, I have only 1 question this time, and I mean it5Is the 2009 movie going to be: 6a)A DVD only release? 7
You can't answer it 8c) It's too early to discuss this 9d) You don't know
10Thanks in advance
111) Answer's A.
12Unless this has been known for a while, yay .
13(I had a hunch it would be a DVD-only release, I just wanted to confirm)
1BIONICLE movies have always been DVD-only. But it would be cool to see a Blu-Ray Disc version.
1Well Greg's back if you want to know, I'm sure you do.
1Heres a question about the other Universes that the GBs, (might of), made.
8-Major Marvelous-
2I don't know if you can answer this, but here it is anyway...
3Are the other Universes that the Great Beings made located above the Matoran Universe? You said that the Matoran Universe isn't the whole planet its located on, just the part that holds the Matoran. Would you say that the other Universes they made are like this and don't take up whole planets, or would the Universes they made be in completely different dimensions? So if it was the former, couldn't the other Universes that the Great Beings made be located around, or on the surface of the Bionicle planet?
4Thanks for your time, and I understand if you can't answer this.
5-/\/\ajor /\/\arvelous-
6Hi MM,
7In 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.
8-Major Marvelous-
1ah, that's interesting, the matoran universe is the only GB universe on the planet. GB space travel.
1If GBs aren't making other universes, I wonder what they've been doing all this time since they left the Matoran universe. 
1In 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.
2-Major Marvelous-
3Is he serious? I was under the (strong) impression that it was fact that they created a universe, got it running, and moved on to repeat. That's why the GB's don't know/care that the Bionicle universe has gone to heck recently. They built their pretty little model, put it on a shelf, and moved on to the next. Hmmmmm.
1Or maybe they built their model and went to school, or something.
1Hi .
2ME:1)Is a Toa of Water even possible inside the Domes, 3because of the lack of water?(Just liquid protodermis) 4Corect me if I'm wrong.
5Thanx,
6Galaxia Darkness
7Answer's yes, since to the Matoran and Toa, liquid protodermis IS water. Gali had to learn how to use what we consider water when she was on Mata Nui, but all other Toa of Water who have ever existed have worked with liquid protodermis.
8MEoes that mean that Gali had to re-learn her water powers when she went to Metru Nui?
9No, because she hadn't forgotten them
1a few answers from greg
111. at least there's one more set 122. he's pretty cool 133. Few a chance to save them
2Hi, I've just got a couple of quick questions regarding the summer sets of 2008.
31.How many summer titans are there going to be, since we've seen the vehicles and takanuva, are there any more? 42.Who is your favourite out of all the summer sets? 53.Are the pictures we've seen prototypes or the actual sets?
6Thanks in advance
7D-T-S
81) There is also the Mazeka set, which was not pictured in the article 92) Axalara T9 103) They are the sets we have in our showroom, which sometimes are slightly different than the final sets.
111. at least there's one more set 122. he's pretty cool 133. Few a chance to save them
1From an early post, which stated that "at least one" Makuta was opposed to attacking Mata Nui, I tend to think Miserix may not be as black-hearted as the rest of the Brotherhood. I haven't seen any evidence, thus far, of Miserix opposing Mata Nui or his will. Here's a long shot: Maybe the OoMN wants to recruit him...?
2The OoMN doesn't take in BoM members.
3Believe me, I know that all too well. No one who has the ability to control shadow seems inherently trustworthy.
I merely thought they would put his knowledge to use, or "ask" him to fight against his former brothers.1Holy Makuta . I always thought Krika was the female one .
1I found out who the female Makuta is . Warning: Spoilers ahead.
5-TNTOS-
6*Attempts to kill self*
7AUG . . . Holy... oh my.... *begins to hyperventalate*
8Why? I was sure that Krika was the girl... he has an amazingly femenine look to himself. Gorast is so... boyish. She's the Tomboy Makuta, no offence to anyone.
Well, the info bit is interesting too. But how is she the ruler of the Tren Krom peninsula? That's on Mata-Nui . (Or was, I'm not sure...)1Interesting answers from Greg 
2Hi Greg I was wondering about something in the 09 movie,
31)You said that you guys are thinking about how much of 2008 to put in the beginning, so could there be a chance of the Nuva, Makuta and Toa Ignika appearing at the beginning of the movie?
4Thanks In advance .
5No -- there's not a lot of point in showing 2008 (or earlier) sets in the movie, since they won't be on shelf by the time the film comes out.
6But there will be an introduction showing what happened in 08 ,right?
7At the end of '08, yes
8Thanks Greg
12Thanks again .
131) Too early. 142) Actually they are adapted to using the vehicles, not the swamp
1Shoot... double post. Sorry.
1Dang. Gorast was the last one I expected to be female. She's so... squat and masculine. Well, deception IS one of the many common traits among the Makuta. She sounds even more of a... witch than Roodaka, which takes a lot.
1Krika should have been the female. He's the only feminine one, and "mistress" fits him better than her, it makes the being sound like it should be feminine, more so than just being female. And I wonder if that peninsula will come into play later or has and was unnamed or something.
1woah so its confirmed thats Lewa and Phoatu riding the vehicals? Well wheres Kopaka, and whos the red driver then?
1Gorast. GORAST. Staring at that name, I was first bewildered. Then I smirked then the sheer absurdity of it. Then I just burst out into laughter that I later noted must have sounded very creepy. Seriously, Gorast? What? She just looks so...so squat. Wow. I'll let you all know my thoughts on the matter once I piece my brain cells back together.
2Gorast.
2Gorast.
1QUOTE 2heyy Greg, now that the toy fair pics have been released i have a couple of questions.
31. Can you reveal which Makuta is female?
42. Is the red on Krika's weapons blood?
53. Is there a storyline reason as to why Gali only has one eye?
64. I believe you had once said that the Mistika Makuta had masks, but the pictures show they do not, is this because they are mutated masks?
75. Is the first name of the vehicle the name of the creature with it and the second name the vehicle name? For example. Rockoh= Creature, T3= Vehicle
86. Do you have any idea why the Mistika are $12.99USD?
97. Takanuva seems to be the only Summer Titan without a vehicle, will Mazeka also have a vehicle?
108. Of the 3 Makuta Mistika, who is the leader?
119. Did the Mistika Makuta get into the pit mutagen? 12b. the Toa Nuva Mistika?
1310. Can the Mistika fly?
14thanks Greg, i know you probrably cannot answer more than half of these questions but i just wanted to try my luck. Sorry if i'm a bother tongue.gif

1Gorast is the female Makuta, so just accept it . And Lewa and Pohatu are in the second half of 2008? I thought they were gonna stay as Phantoka. And where's Kopaka? Did he die? Are all Toa of Ice destined to die? .
1rare theory with SUPER THEORY SPOILERS . . . . . . . .
3is a strange theory but i like it
2i think the riders of the axalara,rockoh and jetrax are the original lewa,pohatu and tahu, onua gali and kopaka has opossed them to go to the broterhood of makuta and lewa,pohatu and tahu kill them an after that in atrakha was created six toa named like the predestined group of toa to awake mata nui
3is a strange theory but i like it
1Antrozek, no proof, I'm sure it's disproven if you look into Greg's responses and other information enough, and not the place to post this.
1Problem: Antroz rides Jetrax.
1Hi. I have a bunch of questions here for you.
21. Remember how Kapura wore a Pakari in the MNOLG but this was because of the Pakari/Ruru mix-up? Well I looked into it and he was first shown wearing a Ruru in 2002 and it was shown later that he wore a Pakari on Metru Nui. 3Would you say that he switched masks after the MNOLG? It would simplify things greatly.
42. There's a topic in S&T debating about what Brutaka's holding here. One member suggests that it's a ball of lava, one that it's Tahu's Hau Nuva after he was defeated, and the last that it's a ball of energy. (I like the second, myself.) 5Which would you say it is?
63. When not adapted in any way, the Nuva masks are shaped like their 2002 counterparts, correct?
74. If a Matoran from Voya Nui who was still under the impression that the Piraka were Toa transformed into a Toa through the use of a Toa Stone, would he resemble a Skakdi?
85. Towards the beginning and end of the Gravity Hurts music video it shows Mata Nui in a somewhat barren-looking state. Is this what it would like now?
96. When do you think we'll get another BZPower short story contest where you make the winner canon? (If ever.)
107. Now that the six Turaga of Mata Nui are on Metru Nui, do they each lead their respective districts or do seven Turaga run the city from the Coliseum? (Sounds a bit unnecessary to me...)
118. My topic here was technically disproved, but I really like it and, to the best of my knowledge, the story-team has no explanation for Kapura's powers. 12Would you just read it and tell me what you think of it?
139. If the Toa Nuva became Turaga, what would their masks be like? Would they be Noble Nuva masks, Great masks, or Noble masks? Would they remain adaptable?
1410. Could a Kaukau Nuva adapted for a lava-filled environment breathe lava and not just water? (I wonder because I think that Gali's mask might be a bit redundant if her armor can adapt to let her breathe water.)
1511. I recall you saying that, when Makuta's name is revealed, most characters still won't refer to him by it. To differentiate it, then, do you think he'd be referred to more as "The Makuta" like he was in earlier years?
161) Fine, if it will make you happy -- this is really not something I care that much about. 172) It's nothing, because it did not exist in storyline. It was just done for packaging art. 183) I would assume so 194) I would say no, for the simple reason that it would mean turning into the semblance of a completely different species. There might be Skakdi elements to his appearance, but he would look like a Toa with Skakdi elements -- not a pure Skakdi. 205) Yes 216) Those are things conceived and suggested by BZPower staff, not by me. So it is up to them when they want to do another one and then up to me if I want the winner to be canon or not. 227) They essentially act like a City Council to support Dume 238) Exactly how Kapura's power works has never been stated in story, so while I can look at this, I doubt I can be much help with it. 249) Noble, adaptable Nuva 2510) No 2611) The Toa will just continue to call him Makuta, but he won't be coming up much in their conversation this year. Most references to him will be by other Makuta, who will call him by name.
27Whoa . Maybe we'll finally see what Tren Krom really is...
1we don't know that. why release a set twice in one year. that really makes no sense. it's probably something else entirely.
1Oh, I get it, Greg. Gorast, GORAST, is a she-hag . . .
2My sense of BIONICLE physics have just been disrupted into imbalance, hoorah.
3I know girls are supposed to have long fingernails, but isn't Gorast a bit of an overkill for females?
4Krika was the perfect choice, slick and spicy, I am in total confusion...
5V-PoW (Gorast)
