1A few interconnecting questions:

 

2-I know that you're not officially part of the new Bionicle story team. Would you like to be? And how much influence do you have in your current role as an 'advisor'?

 

3-The old Bionicle storyline was cut short as you were told to simply stop writing the serials. What were your feelings on this decision? If given the opprotunity, would you finish up the serials?

1How do you feel about calling Toa Mata Pohatu's toa tools Stone Boots? This name goes along with the pattern established by the other Toa Mata, with their element being the adjective for the weapon, like Tahu's Fire Sword, Gali's Water Hooks, Lewa'a Air Axe, etc.

1Have you made any decisions about the canon properties of Protodermis?

1About how old is Gresh? We know he was born after the Shattering and that he's young for a Glatorian, but what would that mean given their lifespans? And what about Ackar? He's the oldest of them, but how old is Glatorian old?

 

2Thanks for your time

1Was it planned form the beginning that Matoran could turn into Toa, and that Turaga are former Toa? And if so, was it always known that Takua would become a Toa of Light?

1Ok first off, the old story never stopped mattering, to Greg or us other fans, so to ask that he change clearly established facts of the story and world of Bionicle is kind of insulting. Second, he never said that Hewkii and Macku weren't close friends and didn't have a relationship, its just that it wasn't romance. It might have been similar to romance as far as the emotional connection between the two, but it lacks the element of attraction because they are a species that does not reproduce.

11) Greg, was there some reason the story team decided to sacrifice Matoro in 2007 instead of any other Toa Mahri ? How was the decision made ?

 

22) Did you ever felt tired of writing comics, books and the serials ? Is there one of them you don't like ?

41) What I would like or not is irrelevant. And I am not serrving as an advisor. I looked over the story bible last spring and made some minor suggestions, and that was my last involvement with the project.

52) I was never told to stop writing them -- I stopped because I became a father and I did not have the spare time to work on them. And as I have discussed here previously, it is highly unlikely the opportunity to finish them will arise since LEGO understandably wants the focus to be on new BIONICLE, not old BIONICLE.

4Maybe it doesn't matter to you ... and it is already canon that there is no romance in the MU, so no.

31) Yes  because he was the one Toa who never feltl like a hero or like he was worthy to be a hero, so it made poetic sense to have him turn out to be the greatest hero of all.

42) No

3If you make a mask out of an RAR disk, it is going to be an RAR mask. The mask has the power of hte disk it is made from.

21) Yes

32) Probably. I don't know how far ahead Bob had planned for Takua since I was not involved with the story team in the early years.
