It seems like when the stones were activated by the Suva, it was then that Lhikan's Toa power was taken to transform them, so if he had died, it may not have worked.
3Good question. I think the answer is yes. You have to invest power in a stone beforehand, so the power had to have been in there already and should have worked whether he was alive or not.

21. Why did the GB's design a giant robot, why not a little probe that could do the same things the robot could?
32. What do the GB's look like?
43 What did Mata Nui's "spirt" look like when he was controling the MU or was he just AI?
5Thanks for answering!
61) A little probe would not have been able to contain the amount of power needed to help pull a planet back together.
72) Not something we want to reveal
83) It was AI

2I can't recall us ever referencing that, so I would lean toward no. Remember, the Matoran were just supposed to be workers, they weren't supposed to be sapient and build a society, so there would be no real reason for the GBs to build seasons into the robot's internal workings.

22. Were Matoran created in the Metru form?
33. Could any mask be worn by a Matoran when they were created?
44. Were any of the extra elements, Gravity, Magnetism, Jungle etc, in any of the books or mentioned in the comics?
55. Do you ever listen to music to help you brainstorm?
6Thanks, Greg.
71) I don't. I think in words, not pictures, so I rarely visualize anything
82) In some places, yes
93) Yes, but they were powerless masks
104) Impossible for me to remember that, I wrote way too much and it was too long ago.
115) I sometimes listen to music while I write, but I don't brainstorm.

thanks in advance 21) No. You have to be wearing a mask to use its power, or have it fused to you. The Mata Nui robot does not wear masks.
32) In where? The MU? The EP in the MU had been mostly destroyed by the resistance against Makuta.
43) Unknown
51.excuse me I made a mistake when I wrote if the GSR could use the powers of the three legendary masks I meant the three legendary powers of MU which is the life, time and creation. For as I wrote mata nui would probably have used the powers of creation to create the majority of species which houses his body.
62.The energized protodermis in general.
73.ok
81) Mata Nui did not create the things in his body. The Matoran and other intelligent species were made by the Great Beings, and the Rahi were made by the Makuta.
92) Well, the EP that had been in the core of the planet froze in outer space, so it is not known at this point if it would still be there after the planet reformed
101.no, mata nui has created the makuta and the Barraki this was mentioned in the story.
11Right, but do you really believe the robot was launched with NO Rahi at all active in it? Rahi had to play a role in the functioning of the robot, or they would not be there, which means they would have been needed for the launch. So it makes sense that the first Rahi were created by the GBs and subsequent Rahi by the Makuta ... in the same way the first Matoran were made by the GBs, and subsequent ones (post-launch) were not.
12Those "first Rahi" --I understand they were the giant sea creatures encountered by the Toa Metru in Voyage of Fear, right?
1The Toa Stones the Toa Metru created, are they still usable?
2I mean, Takua used them to SUMMON the Toa Mata, but they weren't really used in a sense right? Weren't the purpose of them when the Metru created them was so that they could bring into being a new generation of toa?
3And question 2.
4Could a Toa team of 6 theoretically created 36 new Toa? Lhikan used his Toa Power to bring into being 6 new Toa, if a Toa Team of 6 all gave up their powers they could create 6 new teams.
5And third, if a Toa was on its dying moments, could he quickly release his Toa Power into 6 stones in the last minutes of life to create more toa?
11. Can Toa Kaita form Toa seals?
22. Is Lhikan wearing any Kanohi right now?
33. Tahu last left Lhikan's Hau on Daxia. Has anyone retrieved it as of yet. If yes, who?
44. Lhikan's Hau was Gold, when given to Jaller, the mask changed from Gold to Yellow(set-wise atleast) and changed shape from the Noble shape, to the generic Hau shape. Why? And was there even a color change, or was it gold all along?
55. If Jaller turned into Toa while wearing Lhikan's Hau, would it retain its yellow color? Would it turn to Gold? Or would it be red?
6Thanks much.
1Hello,
2On Daxia, appearantly there was a statue depicting a Bohrok along with a Av-Matoran to show the relations between them. The Av-Matoran here looks strikingly similar to Balta, a rebuilt Matoran of Voya Nui. Now now, I know the obvious reason that they used Balta was because the artist found it easier to use a Matoran already existing than to make up how a Av-Matoran would look, blah blah ect ect. What I would want to know is if there is a story-reason behind this. Is that Matoran that there is a statue of a rebuilt Av-Matoran who wears a Huna, as in, was there a rebuilt Av-Matoran who wore a Huna, and had the statue made after him/her?
1Hey Greg:
21) This might be a hard question to understand. When matoran are said to be "programmed," is their programming the same as what we understand to be programming (i.e. 1's and 0's, binary logic) or is it something different altogether?
32a) Also: You also said that as a species, most Glatorian are not stronger than humans. However, you also confirmed that Spherus Magna's gravity is greater than that of Earth's due to its size. Wouldn't SM's higher gravity force the Glatorian to adapt to their environment by having greater muscle mass, making them stronger than humans? I mean, I can't really imagine Gresh doing his signature back flip combat move on a world with a higher gravity than Earth's if his strength was that of a human's.
42b) Linking into the previous question, shouldn't Glatorian be stronger than humans even if SM's gravity isn't greater than Earth's by the virtue that they're bigger than us? I believe you stated that most Glatorian are about 7 feet tall, which would make them about a foot taller than the average human. It's a general rule of thumb that the taller the person/being, the bigger his skeleton would be, and the more muscle mass his body could support.
52c) As if the above 2 arguments aren't enough proof, the fact that Glatorian are fighters by profession should put their physique at least at peak human levels. Given the nature of their occupation, Glatorian would probably do their very best to stay in peak physical shape, as their sole job is to win valuable resources for their tribe in a world where said resources might mean the difference between life and death. Glatorian obviously train a lot to stay on top of their game, and given their lifespans, it's likely that most Glatorian have been training and fighting for hundreds, if not thousands of years. That alone would make them stronger than say, a body builder.
