1Hello Mr. Farshtey,
2Hi my name is Austin, and I am 10. It is nice to chat with the guy who made all the Bionicle books I love.
3I was wondering if the Mask of Creation would be found in a temple, because in the book Bionicle World Artakha wears the Mask of Creation. It would seem to make no sense if there was two Masks of Creation.
4Have a nice day! Thanks for answering!

2So, OK, there's the Mask of Fusion, right? So, what happens when you make a Mask of Fusion NUVA(Hypothetically)? If I recall, Nuva masks are more powerful in their abilities AND can allow people to share the ablities of the mask. So, say, instead of just fusing with one person with the Mask of Fusion Nuva (I'll call it the MoFN for short), you can fuse with two.
3Now then, the BIONICLE series has shown examples of six people sharing the power of a Kanohi Nuva, albeit standing close to each other. So, get three teams of toa, have 6 Toa (One wearing the MoFN) stand in a circle, and then...BAM! Suddenly, all the Toa are fused. It makes sense. If each Toa in range of the MoFN fuses with two toa AND they use the power to fuse with themselves, they can make some sort of giant Toa combo. And you also have the KANOHI, which are now all fused together, and still have the powers fo the MoFN! So, you could, hypothetically, do the same thing with three MORE teams of Toa (albeit the giant Toa combo has to be in the center of the 6-toa circle)! And so on and so forth. And combine that with the Toa that are wearing a NORMAL Mask of Fusion, and the fusing becomes even more powerful!
4So, here's my question: if a Mask of Fusion Nuva existed, hypothetically, do you think all the Toa could fuse into one being?
5While your theory makes sense, I would say that we would find some way in story to say it couldn't happen, because a) there is no logical stopping place under the theory you are suggesting and b) you would run the risk of creating a Toa so powerful that he would unbalance the story
6Also, there are only 50 or less Toa left.
7And there would be a ton of conflicting wills.

2This may be an easy answer, but I always wondered: What kind of food did Matoran eat? Would they have eaten Madu Fruit, or was their specific food they would eat? And could they eat meat?
3Matoran do not eat like we do. They absorb energy through physical contact with things like fruit and fish, etc. Inside the MU, they did not need to do that, because they got their energy from centrally located energy sources.

22) Is there a specific reason why the Red Star made the Inika's masks so weird and realistic compared to other Kanohi?
33) Did the Great Beings realize that Velika was missing?
41) I don't have that information
52) Not that I am aware of, no.
63) Yes

5Not sure I understand your question.

21) When Bota and Aqua magna returned to Bara Magna, were beings crushed between them?
32) If someone dies while using the Iden, will they respawn without a spirit, respawn with a copy of their spirit, or have their spirit transported to the RS?
43) If the Great Beings thought the Toa could turn bad and were powerful enough to install a safegaurd, why didn't they install a safegaurd for the Makuta, who were much more powerful and had less programmed goodwill and compassion?
54) After Lehvak-Kal's vaccum powers blasted him into space, did he burn up, float away from Solis Magna, or land on Spherus Magna?
6Thanks for doing this, and thanks for the awesomeness of Bionicle!
71) No
82) If we equate spirit with their consciousness, then if they die with their consciousness missing from their body, there is nothing for the RS to download into another body. They couldn't be revived.
93) I always saw the Toa as the safeguard against the Makuta.
104) He went into orbit.
kyle7475 wrote:11) Hey Greg, I believe you stated earlier that MU beings didn't need to drink water to survive; instead relying completely on the energy they absorb from their food. However, BS01 lists the Adaptive Armor's desert form as having a "hydration pack." Should that be considered non-canon, or do you think that MU inhabitants would need to drink water?
22) Is the number of Toa going to regrow now that, for the most part, Spherus Magna is relatively peaceful and stable?
33) This might sound like a strange question, but is the genetic makeup of a Matoran's organic components dependent on his/her element? For example, Onu- and Po-matoran would have genes in their muscles coding for increased strength, Ta- and Su- matoran would have genes coding for increased heat resistance, etc.
41) Thing is, I don't recall us saying if they did or did not need water in story. If we did say that, then obviously that is the case. So I am reluctant to say no, they don't, if it may be contradicted somewhere.
52) Possibly
63) I don't think I want to go into debates about how their genes work. It's getting a little too micro for me.
1Hey Greg:
21) Are the mechanical components of MU inhabitants capable of self-repair to some degree? This seems reasonable to me. It would seem awfully wasteful to have to use Toa energy on say, a busted piston or a cracked gear.
32) Are the mechnical components of MU inhabitants completely clockwork-based (pistons, levers, gears), or do they also contain circuitry?
43) Is a Toa's movement driven completely by his organic muscles, or is it also powered by his mechanical pistons?
54) In my fanfic, I have a Toa who gets struck by a grenade which explodes, only for him to survive with little to moderate damage. Do you think that's reasonable and doesn't break canon? Or do you think that's a little too sturdy for a Toa?
6Thanks for your time,

1Hello, Greg. I have some more questions for you, hope they aren't too technical.
21. Why don't Toa teams always combine thier powers to create a Toa seal? Is it more exhausting or do not many know about it?
32. It has been shown that Great Beings can appear invisible to their creations, but do they have other powers that don't involves their creations? Like the ability to shoot lasers or anything like that?
43. Do you know if Vakama and the others were planned to be Toa from the beginning or was that created as we got closer to 2004?
54. Do the Inika masks look like their inorganic counterparts or did their organic qualities make them look considerably different?
65. When the Ignika created a body for Mata Nui on Bara Magna, was it closer anatomy-wise to a Toa or a Glatorian?
76. Would the Vahki Hunters be a good tool to use against the Baterra since they eat machinery or would Baterra perceive them as threats?
1Hello, Mr. Farshtey,
2I recently had an interesting question that I thought you might have an answer for; How big is Spherus Magna?
3Mata Nui, a 40,000,000 (12192 kilometers) foot tall robot housing the Matoran universe is smaller than Aqua Magna.4Aqua Magna is just a small part of Spherus Magna, and Mata Nui is able to stand up on the planet while still in it's atmosphere. Spherus Magna broke into three entire planets, Bara Magna still being gigantic, a planet of that size should be somewhere close to the size of the sun, right? Is this normal for planets in the BIONICLE universe? Or is it just that it was so large that the Great Beings chose that to build upon?
5So was this overlooked that Mata Nui could fit on Aqua Magna? Or is all of Spherus Magna really that big?
6Thank you for reading!

81) Why would you need to use Toa energy on this? Just use tools to repair or replace it.
92) I don't have information on this.
103) Again, I don't have information on this - there is no detailed breakdown of Toa anatomy in the story bibles.
114) Depends on how powerful of a grenade it is and how close it was to the Toa when it went off. You have to consider shrapnel damage to the organics.
