1What's a bio-weapon?
1Thanks.
1Yeah, biological weapons are usually viruses or stuff like that, but in BIONICLE it are things like Shadow Leeches. You may have come across the term ABC-weapons (Atomic, biological and chemical weapons), which are forbidden by international law, although some nations consider themselves to stand over that law.

1Interesting, he didn't answer about the Mistuka and their current form/mutagen. That's interesting, you could be onto something Shadow Makuta.
1Are the guys in the Red Star significant or are they a "red herring" distraction device.
2They aren't significant in 2008 storyline. They may be in future storyline.
3Will they be important in the 2009 universe?
4I can't discuss 2009 story, but I can tell you that the red star is intended as a long-term subplot, not something we wrap up right away
5What do you think of this?

1hey greg good work here is are some questions
21) what do bionicles do for fun?
32) do bionicals have toys? 42a) video games? 52b)TV?
63) if a bionical were to say walk into Mcdonalds could it eat anything? 73a)vise-versa.
81) It varies, the same way what humans do for fun varies. 92) No 102a) No 112b) There are jumbo screens in Metru Nui used for delivering messages from the Turaga, but Matoran do not have TVs like we have. 123) Yes, but they don't eat like we do. A Toa would just touch the Big Mac and absorb whatever energy was in the food, he wouldn't chew and swallow it.
13nothing intresting

1Remember the Blade Burrowers creating a "map" of some sort beneth the Archives? Well look at this .
2Hey Greg, Ive been wondering this every since it was discovered that the Blade Burrower Rahi were creating a map of some sort.
3Facts: 41. Blade Burrowers are creating some sort of "map" beneath the Metru Nui Archives. - Bionicle Rahi Beasts and The Mutran Chronicles
52. There is a legend that either a mutant Kane-Ra or an Artakha Bull is guarding a tunnel network beneath the Archives. - Bionicle Rahi Beasts
6So what I ame wondering is this: Is there a connection between the Blade Burrowers' activities and the legend of the mutant Kane-Ra/Artakha Bull?
7My theory about it is this: 8Whoever or whatever is having the Blade Burrowers create the map knew the Burrowers would need something to guard the tunnels while they worked. So, they send a mutant Kane-Ra/Artakha Bull to keep watch over the tunnels. Anyone (like a Matoran archivist) who came along would see the map as more of a tunnel network or a labiryth (though they would have no way of knowing the Blade Burrowers had made it).
9I know that this may not be the case, but I figured it woulndn't hurt to ask.
10Thanks.\.
11Correct
1Ooh, that's a big one, Scotty J .
1Nice. Why didn't we think of that earlier?

12Interesting, and remember that Krakua is said to be searching for something under the Archives...
1Mabye Krakua is looking for the map? *Goes of to PM Greg*
1I don't think the Order knows about the map.
1Hey, Greg, I was wondering if you could make Kojol a combiner this year. Do you think this would be possible (maybe out of Kopaka and Chirox or something)? Or at least give one of the runners up of the Makuta contest the privlige to call their model Kojol? And also make the Avohkah a combiner out of the Mistika Makuta? Do you think you could talk to someon at the Lego Company about this? Thank you for your time .3I hope Kojol will have a black/white color scheme... If he's an actual model...
2Kojol is a possibility. Avohkah you probably could not make easily out of the models this year, because I think the colors would probably be off.
1Interesting....the Rahi Guide hints actually are important. First the Blade Burrowers and now the Artahka Bull.
1I wonder if perhaps there is something hidden inside the BB's map tunnels, and that is what Krakua is looking for and what the bulls are guarding.
1Sorry,Meca One, but could we have a quote or some sort of verification? Thanks.
1Ah well.
2Hello sir, got some questions i can hope you can answer:
31) Is what Krakua looking for in the archives something to do with the Blade Burrower or the map they are making?
42) You said you would attend libraries or schools for book signing if the places are within driving distance. How far are we talking about?
53) Is the BHoM and OoMN war serial going to take place around the time the Nuav went to the core, or is it from the long beforet? Or a combination of both past and present?
61) He's not looking for anything. He's there because the OOMN wants him there. 72) I listed NY, CT, RI, MA, NH, and parts of PA and NJ to Scholastic. The library/school pays an honorarium for me to come and my expenses (basically gas, I don't charge back for meals, etc.) 83) It's going to be taking place during the summer storyline, so totally present.
1QUOTE 2QUOTE 3QUOTE 4Greg, I just need to tell you, Thank You so much for your work on bionicle, it is great . . . 5It seems to get better every year . tell your story team I said thanks for their excellent work, please.
6Also Greg i've been gathering some questions that you might be able to answer:
71) What is the Mutagen's purpose? 82) was the mutagen in any way supposed to be unleashed? 93) does mata nui have mutagen on/in him? 104) how long would is bionicle online movie for 2008 115) is the universe that we are in next year any larger than our original bionicle universe? 126A) does Mata Nui have anything in common with that universe? 137) Does the Mutagen have any positive characteristics? 148) Will LEGO ever build a LEGO store in Pennsylvania? I feel so left out . . . if they plan to I hope it is in the SE area.
15Thank you so much Greg.
161) It doesn't have a purpose, anymore than radiation in a nuclear plant has a purpose. It simply exists. 172) No 183) I can't discuss this 194) The online CGI movies are usually only a couple minutes long, like last year's were. 205) I can't discuss this 216a) Such as what? 227) Mutagen saved the life of Brutaka and Hydraxon by turning them into water-breathers 238) No idea, I don't work on that end of things.
241) Who made it then? 252) Who unleashed it? 263) Oh... I Understand.... 274) I meant to say the online movie that made the lack of comic books. 285) Oh... Hmmm... 296) Anything, like does he know anyone there (not asking for names) was he there before?, umm, does he know it is even there?
307) Oh.. Right.. I forgot about that. 318) Ok.
32A few more I worked up.
339) did you ever watch indiana jones?, I just watched the 2nd and 3rd ones, they were good.
3410) How many Toa as of now are in this matoran universe?
3511) are there matoran or matoran like life forms in the universe we will be visiting next year? 3611A) will we even be visiting or did it pick up with all new characters? 3711 are there intellegent life forms in that universe, like matoran?
3812) when will the 2009 movie be released? 3912A) where can I buy the Movie when it is released? 4012 do you know how much it will cost?
41Thank you, again.
421) Who made the radiation in the nuclear plant? 432) It was accidental 444) Same answer. If you do, say, two 2-minute CGI movies online, that costs a ton of money -- easily hundreds of thousands of dollars. 456) Can't answer it 469) Yes, I saw them when they first came out 4710) I believe the number is something like 55 4811) I cannot discuss 2009 4912) Scheduled for fall of 2009, and it should be in places like Target, Wal-Mart, Blockbuster, all the usual places. I don't have a price for it yet, it's too early to know that.

1Hi, 2Nothing big, just some things,
13LtoF
3Hi GregF, 4I've got some question, and I hope you can answer them:
51) have you finished MC8 yet, if not, when do you think it will be ready; because I can't wait for that chapter
62) I know it's a bit late to ask this, but in Bionicle: Mask of Light, there is a strange language on the back of the Avohkii, can you tell me what it was?
73) Is there anything new you can tell me about the Brickmaster exclusive? (like powers, origin,...)
8That's all, thanks for your time,
9LtoF
101) I sent it to Denmark yesterday 112) I don't know, I had nothing to with the movie 123) No point in discussing it until it is closer to coming out
13LtoF

10Only if you can talk you school/library into inviting him there, and have them pay for the gas it takes to make it
11I believe we already knew the mutagen was released accidentally... Did we?
12~KK:SE~©
13Yes, we did.
1Hello again, Mr. Farshtey. I have some more questions I'd like to ask, and I hope you're not too irritated by all these PM's.
2Anyway, here they are:
31. Why was the color for the stone sets changed from brown? 42. Will we see Lesovikk and/or Sarda again? 53. Were the Makuta created by the Great Beings or by Mata Nui? 64. I have heard that while the Toa Inika were traveling through the cord towards Mahri Nui, Makuta arrived and inhabited Matoro's body while his spirit was scouting ahead. Is this canon? 75. Could the Visorak be considered sentient/intelligent? They seemed capable of emotion and conscious thought in the Bionicle Adventures series. 86. Is it true that the land Gorast was assigned to was called the Tren Krom Peninsula, and that this is where Tren Krom resides? It doesn't make sense to me. (I probably should have asked this earlier; I might have written my short story differently.) 97. Since gender differences are solely psychological in Bionicle, how do characters tell what another's gender is without speaking to them? Example: Hakann could tell that Lariska was female immediately. 108. Will we see any more Toa Kaita or, dare I say, a Toa Nui? 119. Does the war between the BOM and OoMN mean the OoMN will drop their secrecy? Or will it be more of a "guerilla war"? 1210. Is Krakua perhaps guarding or guarding against something in the Archives, like say, Dweller?
13And finally,
1411. Do Bionicle beings wear clothes? There have been several references to clothing in the story. Some examples:
15Bionicle Adventures 1:
16The scholar dug into his robes and pulled out a knowledge crystal a little larger than Nuju's hand.
17Federation of Fear, Chapter 4:
18Spiriah looked at her (Roodaka) like she were something stuck to his boot.
19Thank you for your time .
201) Cause brown sets sell lousy and always have 212) I haven't decided yet 223) Mata Nui 234) Yes. 245) Visorak are sapient creatures 256) It is called the Tren Krom Peninsula, it is not where TK resides. TK resides on an island. An island is not a peninsula. 267) Body language 278) Toa Nui does not exist, and as far as Kaita go, unless we do Kaita combo models, no reason to put them in story 289) They would have to 2910) No 3011) We have seen in the movies the Turaga wearing ceremonial robes
31Some interesting stuff. Armed with the answer to #6 I can now prove a point I've been trying to make on Bioniclepedia for weeks, ha .
32Edit: Aw, man. Lihyahm beat me to it .
