12. Concerning Nova Blasts: When a Toa performs a Nova blast, the effects take the form of whatever element the Toa is, correct? Such as when Gali did a Nova Blast on the island of Karzahni, it took the form of a tidal wave. If a Toa of Gravity performed a Nova Blast, what would happen? Would the result be a black hole, or a massive increase in the gravitational pull of the area? How about a Toa of Magnetism?

 

2Also, despite the differences in effect, Nova Blasts are all generally equal in their destructive power, right? Much like how all the elements really balance each other out?

 

3That was a bit of a wordy question, sorry. I just have one more:

 

43. When do you think that Velika began to be disillusioned with the GB's way of running things? Was there a particular event that was the "last straw" for him? Perhaps the GB's failure to stop the Core War set him off?

51) Overall, your suppositions seem correct. I would think a Toa of Magnetism would probably create an enormously powerful magnetic field, not a good thing when everyone is at least three-quarters metal.

 

62) Well, it had to be before Mata Nui launched, so at the very least the CW had to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

7Thanks a lot, this is interesting!

 

8Just one thing: Would the magnetic field push away or pull in? Having a magnetic field that attracted objects could cause trouble for the Toa.

 

9My guess it is will cause problems either way But you are right, push out makes more sense.

1Hello Mr. Farshtey,

 

2Is there a story behind your somewhat unusual username?

 

3A Scribe is a writer ... GT are my first two initials ... and 6817 was my extension at my first job back in 1987.

1Hey Greg, What did Kopaka see in the red star that made him so.. Worried? And why is Velika trying to blow everyone up?

 

 

2Well, since the story stopped there, we don't know what Kopaka saw yet. As for Velika, I think what is trying to do is eliminate anyone with a power level that it might threaten his plan, which I believe to be putting Spherus Magna under his "guiding hand."

1Hi, Greg! Your books rule!

 

2Question time:

 

3Is it possible, on a scale of 1 to 100, how much did you not want for Bionicle to end? And also, despite me being a massive fan, why did it close?

4Oh, I would rather it never have ended, of course. As for why it did, my assumption is weakening set sales.

1What is the written language of the Great Beings?  In their lab on Bara Magna, they had Matoran writing on the walls.  Also, do the Agori use the Matoran writing system?

2Matoran is basically computer language, so no, the Agori do not use it. And we do not know what the regular language of the Great Beings is, has never been revealed.

3Can the Matoran understand Agori speech and vise vera?

4Yes. Mata Nui made that possible before he departed.

5Okay, so everyone can now understand each other?  Not just the group that battle on Spherus Magna?

6Yes. From a writing standpoint, makes it easier.

1Heres my question is Bionicle coming back in 2015 or any other theme?

2I have no info on BIONICLE coming back, and I actually won't have any info on 2015 plans for anything before January at the earliest. That is when set plans get revealed to the different markets for the first time.

1Were you a fan of the Exo-Force theme?

 

2Thanks again for your time.  

3I liked it, but I tended to stumble on the plot holes a bit. If you are being attacked by a superior force over this big bridge, try blowing the bridge up. That might help.

2Hiya Greg;

3How do you have so much time to answer all these questions?

 

4I know I wouldn't.

5It doesn't take that long to do. When I was doing BZP, I used to get 50-150 questions a day. I get a lot less than that there.

1a. A being was mutated before death and through that mutation no longer functioned as intended. Could the revived being be brought back in its original intended state, if the mutation proved to be a detriment to the universe within the robot? For example, at the end of the film Bionicle: Mask of Light Takanuva was brought back to his toa state after fusing with Makuta. Rather than being revived in his transformed state he was reverted to his toa form, which in the end proved necessary for the well-being of the universe.

 

2b. The matoran life cycle appears to be matoran-toa-turaga. While the matoran as of the story's last entry greatly outnumbered the latter two stages, if more time had progressed before Spherus Magna had been restored, it is possible that toa or turaga could become the more dominant stage of the matoran within the universe, if enough matoran progressed through these stages. If no new matoran were created, and all deceased toa and turaga were returned as intended that could be a potential problem. If the red star's function was to conserve resources by restoring the deceased, could they be restored to an earlier stage of their life, as a way of maximizing the ability of the red star to conserve resources while keeping the universe at it's peak of functionality, avoiding a disproportionately high percentage of toa or turaga?

3Thanks again,

51) Takanuva is not a good example, because what had happened there was that the fusion had ruptured, so he already was Takanuva. I believe the kestora work off the body they are given, otherwise why would they need a body at all?

62) No, the red star does not have the ability to reverse the process. Plus, as I said, it works off the body it gets.
