2If you do not plot your tales ahead of time, then why did it take a couple or so years before we found out that the Red Star revives dead beings?
31) Two reasons. One, it was a tribute to the Toa Nuva. And two, if we had kept his name Takua, everyone would have known who the Toa of Light was as soon as they saw a product list for summer 2003. 2) I don't understand your question.

2If Sidorak gets out of the Red Star, would he be angry at Roodaka?
3Was TSO's name on the story team's approved names list?
4The Vahi was made from the 6 Great Disks (power level 9), which each had the powers of Enlarge, Regenerate, Weaken, Freeze, Teleport, and Reconstitute at Random. If 6 normal Disks with those same powers were made into a Great or Noble Mask, what power do you suppose the mask would have? It wouldn't have the Legendary power of Time, because if it did, it wouldn't be able to contain the power within itself. Would it instead have a power similar to the Mohtrek (Mask of Time Duplication) or the Mask of Aging?
5If Toa Disks of Light existed, could more Kanohi Avohkii be made from them? (Like a Kanohi Garai is made from a Toa Disk of Gravity)
61) Consider the fact that those masks could have been made either a) before the red star was or b) made by beings who did not know what the red star did.
72) Wouldn't you be?
83) Yes. Approved names are the only ones we could choose from.
94) No idea off the top of my head
105) I suppose, but none exist

2Does the Energized protodermis entity chose which beings are worthy enough to be altered ?
32. If Tahu now fell into energized protodermis, would he be transformed or destroyed ?
43. If a being that was destined and transformed by EP fell into it for the second time, what would happen ?
51) That's the way destiny works. The whole philosophy of pre-destination is that certain things will happen to you and not happen to others. It's much like saying, "Why did that person win the lottery and a million others not?"6And no, the EP has nothing to do with the choice.
72) No way to tell until it happened.
83) Again, it would depend. If, somehow, they were destined to transform a second time (which I think would be pretty rare), they would transform; otherwise, they would be destroyed.

4Oh, for #2 I meant that we found out the Red Star's corpse teleportation power about two years after you posted the fourth and currently last chapter in "The Powers That Be". You told us in an interview, I believe. I want to know if the Red Star's resurrection ability was in a story bible or something, because I don't know why it wasn't revealed until two years after you last posted in a serial.

5Pretty much nothing that appeared in the serials was in a story bible. Story bibles covered main story for the year, not side stories. As for why you didn't hear about it for two years, if I had not had to give the serials up, you would have learned it in the serial. And since I could not go on BZP anymore and only got on these message boards by request of the mods late last year, there was no forum in which to tell you.

2The BIONICLE concept was created by a team of people at LEGO Company and our creative agency during 1999-2000. I don't think there was any one person who came up with the concept, it was a lot of people working together.
