25-Let the Nui live on

261) No 272) No idea, I have not seen the cover you have seen 283) No. Midak is a throwaway character created to explain the name of the weapons 293B) No 303C) No 314) I can't discuss this 325) Impossible to answer an "ever" question -- "ever" for BIONICLE could be another 5, 10, 20 years, depending on sales, I can't predict what will happen in that time. 336) No, I haven't 347) I cannot discuss future storyline. But I would not hold your breath waiting for Hordika. Been there, done that.
#3402
1Just for confirmation...


21) Can you confirm the following character's statuses as of the end of DM8? 3>Lewa 4>Lesovikk 5>Darkness
6Mostly just need to know if they're dead or not. 7Thanks .


81) I would have to listen to it again for Lewa, but Lesovikk is still alive, Darkness is most likely drowned.

#3403
1I just got this from Greg... It clarifies something that's been bugging me, and provides and explanation for Krakua.
21. Okay, I'm a little confused now... I know for a fact that you have stated many, many times that Krakua is explicitely not a member of the Order of Mata Nui, but is simple an agent, similar to Umbra. Now, however, somebody comes along and claims to have a PM from you saying that Krakua is in fact a member? So, is this member lying, did you make a mistake, did you change your mind...? Basically, is Krakua a full-fledged member or not? (Though, that would then contradict BIONICLE World, which states the Order does not accept Toa as members.)
32a. I know that Comic 12 is just a battle that was not featured in BIONICLE Legends 9, but around when did it occur? Before/after what events in the book, basically. 42b. Also, how do the endings fit together? The comic ends with Lewa fleeing and going after the Mistika Toa Nuva, but the book ends with the Phantoka Toa Nuva victorious and together, only considering going to the swamp, not actually going there.
53. I asked you before about possibly hosting a contest for Mazeka like you did with Lesovikk, but you asked me to refresh your memory on it... Well, I sent a PM about 2 weeks ago, but I'm starting to think you didn't get it. So. You held a trivia contest where the winner (me) was given the first public picture of Lesovikk. Do you think that would be possible for Mazeka? (Though, based on how busy you seem to be now, I rather doubt it.)
64. Could a Toa of Fire destroy Antidermis, or are only Toa of Plasma capable of doing so?


71) You're right -- but time passes in the BIONICLE universe. When I was asked before, he was an agent. Now he's a member. And desperate times call for desperate measures, hence his membership. 82) Happens after the Mistika Toa head for the swamp 92a) Ending takes place before the ending of the Bionicle Legends #9 103) I can't, simply because I have no image of Mazeka. What I have seen is a really bad and small pic on our designer website, I don't have a good image of him like I did for Lesovikk. 114) A Toa of Fire could too, most likely


12~|ET|~
13P.S. It doesn't say anything about Lewa dying, just a brief mention of him fighting Krika. Though, Teridax's lightning might have killed him...
#3404

1Hello, sir . Firstly, I want to say that I loved DM 8, what a battle . I really enjoy seeing Toa, Matoran, Dark Hunters, and Makuta all fighting together for a good cause. Anyway, I have a few questions to ask:
21. Is the Swamp of Secrets a part of Karda Nui, or is Karda Nui just the sky?
32. Is intense heat the only way to destroy a Makuta's energy?
43. Is the Tren Krom Redoubt on Mata Nui, as mentioned by Jala in MNOG, the same thing as the Tren Krom Break?
54. Regarding the Golden Kanohi that the Toa Mata got from the Kini Nui, did the Temple have some special power to create Kanohi, or did someone put the masks there?
65. Could you give me a timeline as to which came first, next, etc. regarding FOF, DM, and Bionicle Legends #9?
76. Approximately how many members does the Order of Mata Nui have?
87. Will the Matoran names of the masks of Repulsion, Disruption, and Duplication be revealed?
98. If the Mask of Life drains the life from everything in the universe, will that include killing itself?
109. Will we see Tren Krom again?
1110. And lastly, you've said that 2009 will take place in another universe. Does this mean the surface of the Bionicle planet, or a pocket dimension?
12Thank you .

131) Part of the same place 142) No. Antidermis that is not in a body will naturally disperse over a few weeks 153) I don't think so, no. 164) Hasn't been revealed 175) It goes Bionicle Legends #9, Bionicle Legends #10, and then FOF and DM take place at the same time 186) Can't answer it 197) Yes, when the Mistika Makuta sets come out 208) No, because it isn't alive the way Matoran or Toa are alive 219) No idea 2210) I can't discuss this


23Some good stuff.
#3405
11. Is the OOMN leader on Daxia?
22. Can you confirm that the First Toa is not the OOMN/HOA leader?
33a. Different types of Krana give different abilities to Bohrok. But if any kind of Krana was attached to a being would they all do the same thing; make the swarm control that being? 43b. Can Krana control Rahi?
5Thanks Greg. :)


61) Not right at this moment, no 72) No, I cannot confirm that. 83a) Yes 93b) Yes


101. Artakha doesn't make tools for Toa anymore, right?
112. Would Toa go to Xia for Toa tools?
123a. Are the "Nynrah Ghosts" still on Nynrah making weapons and stuff for people? 133b. Do the "Nynrah Ghosts" still make weapons for Toa?
14Thanks Greg, and thanks for that tip on writing too. :)


151) He does if need be -- he made the adaptive armor and weapons for the Nuva 162) Or just weaponry, but they would have to pay for it 173) Yes 183b) We don't know that they ever have made weapons for Toa, but they probably would if asked


191. In Dark Mirror Ch. 8, was it a Toa of Plant Life that took Nuju?


20Yes
#3406
11. What would happen if more than six Toa combined their elemental power and attempted to make a Toa Seal 22a. On BS01 in said that the Turaga brought some Kanoka disks to Mata-Nui, and they became worn out out after repeated use. If a Mask was made out of those worn out disks, would it retain the worn-out disk's power? 33. Would a Toa use a Mask of Weakening? 44. Who would you say would be more able to control the Vahi, a Toa Nuva or a Makuta? 55. About when did the Mistika Makuta get mutated? 66. Why did Teridax reward Kojol, even though he disobeyed orders? 77. Is Icarax able to fight right now? 88. If a Matoran wore a Noble Mask and transformed into a Toa, would their mask become a Great Mask? 99. About how long does it take for a mask's 'imprint' of it's owner to fade? 1010. Why is Toa Ignika able to do a Nova Blast? 1111. What is your favorite part about working with LEGO? 1212a. Does the Brickmaster promo set have anything to do with 2009? 1312b. Can you give us a hint of it's secrept power? 1413. Would the Makuta curse still affect them if they had all of their shadow remove and replaced with light? 1514. What has Miserix been doing all these years? 1615. Do the Turaga of Mata-Nui act like the advisor of their Metru to Turaga Dume? 1716a. Are the Dark Mirror Makuta going to harm Turaga Dume and Takua? 1816b. Have they responded to the Ahkmou's summon? 1917. Why is Aukmou not evil in DM? 2018. If Aukmou knew Teridax was alive, would he try to find him? 2119. Why would Makuta give the Nui Stone power to any Toa, given the Toa could, after being powered-up, betray him? 2220. What are Nokama, Vakama, Matau, Onewa, and Whenua doing in DM?
23Thanks .
24-TN05


251) No idea, never been done. 262) No, if the disk is worn out, then the mask made from it would have no power 273) No such mask exists, to my knowledge 284) Neither 295) Not long after their arrival in Karda Nui 306) Because he accomplished what he was supposed to, he got the Avohkii 317) Yes 328) Yes 339) Not long at all 3410) Same reason the mask is able to end all life in the universe -- it's a legendary mask 3511) Getting to write creatively 3612) No 3712b) No 3813) Irrelevant, since that won't happen 3914) Not much 4015) Yes 4116a) Why would they? Dume and Takua are no threat to them 4216b) Yes 4317) Who says he isn't? The Makuta are, and they are fighting Tuyet too. They are fighting for freedom, which includes the freedom to do evil. 4418) Or he might just wait for Teridax to contact him 4519) Oh, you can be sure the Makuta would have a failsafe in place to take care of the Toa if he got out of line 4620) Being Matoran and doing their Matoran jobs


47Some interesting answers...

#3407
1Hey Greg . AMAZING job with the latest Dark Mirror episode. I loved the battle, is this like a preview to this year's final battle? Anyways I do have some questions, hope you could answer them;
21) In Dark Mirror, Nuju was swept into the Archives by out of control plants. Was a Toa of Plantlife responsible? If not then what?
32) Was there a reason why Pohatu cried out when Ahkmou killed Gali?
43) How exactly did Takanuva enlarge the cracks in the wall? Does the Shadow element allow this or was he just blasting a hole through the wall?
54) You've once mentioned that the BoM killed off most Toa of Iron and Magnetism for fear of what they could do to their armor. Have they killed off all the Toa of said elements or are some still alive? (regular universe)
65) What happened to Turaga Dume? Did he die in the battle as well?
76) Did Kopaka die after being blown away by Lesovikk or was he just knocked out?
87) Since Kojol was still alive (at least at some point before he was killed off in DH), can we assume that the Artakha invasion happened after Lhikan stood up to Tuyet in the regular universe?
98) Personaly, do you think a mask like the Olmak should be destroyed? I mean of course Takanuva needs it but a mask like that is very destructive if in the wrong hands.
109) Is there only one Zivon in the Field of Shadows or are there multple species?
1110) Apart from being created by the Great Beings/Mata Nui, are there multiple ways of creating Matoran?
1211) Should a Toa of Light ever end up in the Field of Shadows, what would happen if he illuminates the place with his light powers? What would he see?
1312) Apart from firm ground in the Field of Shadows, are there any geological features worth noting?
1413) What's Krahka up to in the Tuyet-verse? Is she still there or was she caught?
1514) If the Ignika is activated while everyone's in the Core, does everybody die?
1615) When the Ignika was first used by the Toa from Jovan's team, was the Core empty of Matoran and Rahi?
17Thanks alot for your time :)


181) Yes, a Toa of Plant Life was responsible 192) Yes. Pohatu hated what Gali had become, but he still cared for her as a friend. 203) Shadow energy can be very destructive -- see how it was used against Keetongu in WOS 214) Some are still alive 225) No, not yet 236) No, he's dead too 247) We know it did, yes 258) Lots of masks are very destructive in the wrong hands -- Time, Life, Light, Strength, Speed, they are all dangerous in evil hands 269) Only one we know of 2710) I can't discuss this 2811) No idea, it's never happened 2912) See answer to #11 -- since I do not have to describe its features in story, I haven't worried about what they might be 3013) Under Metru Nui 3114) I don't understand what you mean by "activated" -- it's already been activated in the core, Matoro did that 3215) Yes


33Hmm better follow up with Greg.

1I was wondering, if Toa are said to be the only beings who can use their six elements to create a Protodermis cage, how come Krahka was able to make one? Granted, it was solid Protodermis only, and that's all. And if that's the reason, could it be said that while any six elements combined by anyone might not make a cage, they could make solid Protodermis?
2-Taki


3Simple. She was duplicating the powers of all six Toa.

#3411

1question: 2Greg could you please in your spare time give us characteristics of matoran outside the main six elements example: matoran of air are clumsy on the ground but agile in the air. maby you could make matoran of sound commonly loud and skilled at voice mimicry or possibly great musicians.
3please Greg this would be great information and a pleasant treat to all of the fans 4from, -pitwalker a fan since 2001-
5P.S. I am dislexic and hated reading before I read your books thank you so much

1I don't think Toa can be members of the OoMN, I think Greg said that earlier, somewhere, unless their destiny is with the OoMN, and I don't remember Krakua's desiny being revealed, thus he is only a servant. By the way, I think the question was already answered, Krakua is considered an agent since he could represent the OoMN


2Then see the answer
3Then just add in "And three OOMN agents"


4Is Krakua a member of the OOMN or just a servant?
5Thank you .
6--BoL


7Member


8WOW.


9Wow, That's new, on BS01 it says he's a servant, but I've seen GregF change his mind before... :)
10LtoF


11Greg already said two things about Krakua's OoMN membership: 121. The Order was involved in Krakua's transformation into a Toa. 132. The Order can't be too choosy now that they're preparing for war. 14So he didn't change his mind, the Order did. :rolleyes:
#3415
1Just a few questions, but probably not particularly useful for those who live in the Storyline and Theories Forum.
2QUOTE 3Hi Greg, I have just heard DM8, which is, in my opinion, THE best ever serial you have ever done. I hope you could answer these questions, as I'm a little behind on current storyline.
41. Apparently, Pohatu and Onua were fighting against each other, but afterwards you said that the fighting stopped throughout the whole coliseum. So, were they actually still fighting, or did one of them get beaten? If so, who was it?
52. Are the alternate Teridax, Krika and Lesovikk definately still alive?
63. I'd assume so, but is DM taking place at the same time as the events in Karda Nui?
74. Are you aware of any Bionicle or lego-related events taking place in the UK at all?
85. Do you know when BL10 gets released?
96. If there is a fight of such epic proportions in a serial, then is it a sign or things to come in The Final Battle?
107. I'm not sure you can answer this one, but if you had to describe The Final Battle (the book as a whole), then what word would you use?
118. Are you currently writing any Bionicle books, or are you taking a short break off?
129. I'm a little confused at why Zaktan knows so much information, yet he seems to have been abandoned from the storyline. Could you confirm if he will ever make an appearance again or anytime soon?
13Thanks in advance.

141) It didn't stop. You simply couldn't hear it from where Takanuva and Darkness were. 152) At this point, yes 163) Yes 174) No, but since I am based in the US, I might not be aware anyway even if there were. 185) Should be in stores in June 196) Yup ... this is a minor scuffle compared to summer serials 207) Three words -- hard to write 218) Just finished the first 2009 Level 3 reader 229) Zaktan is a prisoner on Daxia, and he's not talking, hence his not figuring into story right now
#3416

#3417
1Yes, for instance a Makuta most likely can't copy six Toa powers at once. Though maybe they can, who knows? Sounds like something to ask.

2Makuta can't copy powers at all.
#3419
1Hello Greg, I just had a few questions
21.Now Krakua has been promoted to full membership, will his powers be boosted like Axxon and Brutaka 32.Why didn't the Makuta destroy the Avohkii when they had it 43. In DM , could you confirm if these characters are dead or alive 53a. Darkness 63b. Lewa 73c. Nuju 84. Would the BOM declare War imedently on the OOMN if they found out they were responible for Kojol's death 95. Are there still Makuta at Destral who could fight the OOMN 106. What is the status of the Makuta Conjurer used his powers on? 117. Does Teridax have a second in command?
12thank you very much

131) There isn't time to do that. It's a crisis. 142) How would he learn anything from it, like how to counter its effects if possible, if he destroyed it? 153a) Dead 163b) Dead, I believe 173c) Definitely dead 184) They would declare war on them just for existing 195) Yes 206) He's fine, Conjurer's attack failed 217) His main lieutenant is Antroz


22There yall go :P
#3420
1Antroz is Teridax's main lieutenant? Cool. Should have guessed so, though. If I were Teridax, I'd either choose Antroz or Icarax, and since Icarax is a little... rebellious, I wouldn't appoint him to that position.

3Well, they can shapeshift.
#3424
1Apparently, they can't copy powers when they do. :)
#3425
1Yup. The ability to shapeshift does not come along with copying powers. That is Krahka's ability, but the Makuta don't possess that power. They already have enough powers - 42 Rahkshi powers + Shadow powers + mask power + ability to create Kraata. Quite a lot for just one being.

1Dweller could be. I am geared (no pun intended) towards Lariska, or one of the others. Lariska wasn't given a definite description in the Dark Hunter's manual so she could be anything
#3434

1QUOTE 2Hi Mr. Farshtey,
3I have some questions if you don't mind:
41. Are the Frostelus encroaching on Metru Nui from the same tribe Subterranean was negotiating with? 51a. If yes, is this apart of there plans to open up Metru Nui for the Dark Hunters 62. I've noticed on BS01 that they talk about the fight between Lewa and Krika but no one mentions this

7QUOTE 8Krika used his Vacuum power to absorb Lewa's attacks until Teridax had summoned a bolt of Lightning, powerful enough to turn a Toa into ashes.



9Is Lewa dead in the Toa Empire Universe?
103. Are there any spies for the OoMN in the ranks of the BoM like they are in DH?
114. Is the Recorder the spy for the OoMN?

#3438
1I've a few questions for ya GregF.
21. I've heard that Rahi don't have a balance of light and darkness, meaning they would be unaffected by a Shadow Leech or Mask of Hunger. Does this also apply to sentient Rahi (like Keetongu or Krakah)?
31a. Same question for Hordika.
42. Are the Toa Mahri aware of the Kardas Dragon's presence in Metru Nui yet?
53. I've heard that Axonn will be getting a "visitor" soon. Is this visitor anyone we already know, or is it a new character?
64. Was Keetongu's species created by the BoM?
75. Would the new Hydraxon be considered a sevant of the OoMN?
8Thanks.


91) Keetongu, it probably would apply to -- Krahka, it would not, because when you absorb intelligence as she has, you absorb a moral sense too 101a) We have never seen Toa Hordika who have degenerated to the point where they have no moral sense. 112) Yes - it's not like KD sneaks around well 123) I can't discuss this 134) Yes 145) Since they don't know the circumstances of his origin, they would still consider him a member

1Greg said that Dweller isn't the spy, because he wouldn't be so useful in Metru Nui; the spy should be in Odina. And Lariska can't be the spy because she doesn't know who she's working for.


2Well, I asked and was told he wasn't going to reveal it on BZP
3But I think it is The Recorder; think about it: 4- He knows everything because he records everything TSO says and does, so any order given, can be relayed back to the OoMN. 5- He is almost always on Odina 6- And he has even pushed pushed lines with TSO by saying he was second to Makuta.
7That is what I think. Hey, a combiner for the Recorder from the Mistika should be made . Just Kidding... No really...

1I agree. I think he'd be a good spy. but from what I know of Recorder, he's quite small... Not such a good combiner. :P
