21) I know that in some cases the names of minor characters were changed slightly to get them away from the Maori spelling, so that may have been the situation in this case
32) I actually answered this on this board last week.
43) They included him with the set which is why we decided to have him steal it in the story.

What was the year of BIONICLE that you like the least?
22005
41) The timing was awkward - doing a story that took place during the story from the last year confused a LOT of fans.
52) I did not believe that having Vakama go bad made story sense -- he was the Toa who was the most proud of being one and took it the most seriously. He wouldn't go bad that easily. That was a case of forcing a character to do something that was against his character, for reasons that went beyond story, and I did not feel it rang true for fans.
63) I don't mind dark stories as a rule, but this was dark and depressing
74) On the set level, kids could not tell the good guys from the bad guys and it hurt the product line that year
8@1) Do you mean that it took place before the ending scene of Legends of Metru Nui?
9@2) True, but you did a good job of making him turn bad.
10@3) Hmm. Good point.
11@4) I guess that makes sense, but couldn't the same be said for 2006? Both the Piraka and the Toa Inika had teeth. Well, I guess the Toa did not look quite as evil as the Piraka.
121) Yes
134) And we had the same issue in 2006, but I felt it was overall a stronger story.

2Why is Nuju so rude that he refuses to talk normally and only talks in rahi, and he refuses to tell the story of metru nui with the other Turaga. He's cold man! Cheerio!
3Nuju wanted to make sure the other Turaga remembered the consequences of what happened in Metru Nui way back when, and his way of doing it was to speak Rahi to remind them of the Hordika. And he felt it was dangerous to share that story with others, after all, they had kept it secret for 1000 years.
4I remember that the Bionicle Encyclopedia stated, "[Nuju's] stated reason for the change was that if someone did not make an effort to understand him, that being was not worth Nuju's time to talk to.", meaning ppl had to be patient to speak to him.
5BTW, is Nuju making any attempt to get a new translator after the transformation and death of Matoro?
6If Bionicle were an MMORPG, what species do you think would be playable?
7What's your favorite TV show?
8Is it possible that Mimic secretly knows that the Shadowed One keeps his friend captive, but still works for the Dark Hunters anyway?
9Also, when Matoran were brought into being, could there have sometimes been glitches (ex. a female Su-Matoran, or a Ba-Matoran with purple, black, and green armor)?
101) I would think he would have to ... and I believe that reason for his decision was written prior to the 2005 storyline.
112) I would think most intelligent species would be
123) I have a handful of favorites -- Dr. Who, Game of Thrones, Elementary, couple others
134) I don't think so, no
145) Not that I know of. It would be like an automobile company accidentally manufacturing microwave ovens.

2It's an interesting question. Not sure if it will happen or not though, since even if the teleportation system gets fixed on the red star, Mata Nui no longer exists for it to beam back to.
