71) Yes, and most of the occupants of the RS would have been still recovering to some extent or another.

82) The mask loves conflict - revealing the truth to Wu was a great way to spark that

93) Don't recall, too long ago

104) They will continue to function until someone shuts them off, which probably can't happen until the GBs are found.

115) I didn't. I had no say in what sets got made or didn't get made.

124) How could the GBs shut them off now when they couldn't in the past?

So,,,would most of them wear the same masks?

 

2Same thing for occupations.

3I think that would be a safe assumption with one caveat -- a lot of the occupations that existed on Metru Nui would not exist on Mata Nui (there was no mask making on Mata Nui for example), so it is unlikely they would have been doing all the same jobs they did before.

4So basically, Masks = Yes, Occupation = Depends?

5So if they were doing a job prior to rebuilding, but doing it on Mata Nui, would they still be doing it post-rebuilding? And vice-versa? But if they were doing it on Metru Nui, they wouldn't be doing it on Mata Nui? Or would they only be doing it if the same occupation exists on Mata Nui?

61) Yes

72) They could only do their Metru Nui job on Mata Nui if the job existed on Mata Nui. Once they went back to Metru Nui, they could go back to their old jobs.

82) So, for example with the Ta-Matoran Brander, on Metru Nui he was a Foundry Worker, then on Mata Nui he was a Crafter, does this mean that in the rebuilt sub-section on the infobox for the Matoran we should have "Crafter (formerly), Foundry Worker" since they went back to their old jobs?

2Well, the 2 things that people seens to have come up with is:

31. Toa of Air, as it would "replace" Nidhiki after his betrayal.

4Or

52. Toa of Fir, that would, together with Lhikan manipulate/absorb the Kanohi Dragons fire breath.

 

6Maybe... "We" should make a poll? Smile

 

7Theres a poll running over at BZP on the matter.

 

8Greg, I have several questions concerning the way the poll should go. Should Ice be removed from the poll? There are already 4 Toa of Ice in the team, and I think someone mentioned that it was always stated there were 4 Toa of Ice. 

 

9Secondly, how long should it run before we bring forth to you the results?

 

10Thanks...

1I got into Ninjago... a lot... recently, and I was wondering one thing. I'm not sure if this is where I should ask it, but it seems that you've written Ninjago books, so maybe you would know the answer. 

2OK. So Lloyd - Lord Garmadon's son, is named 'Lloyd Garmadon'. Note that his last name is 'Garmadon'. That would mean that his father, would be Lord/Sensei _________ Garmadon. Right? And Sensei Wu would be Sensei Wu Garmadon. Right? And then the First Spinjitsu Master's last name would be Garmadon. Is this so? Because this really confuses me....

 

3Also, another question. Why are you able to write Hero Factory, Ninjago and Chima books, but you say that you probably wont be able to write BIONICLE books?

 

4Thanks

1Were there messengers on Mata Nui? As in, the occupation?

1What's a Hermit?

2Thanks for doing this question-answering, and thanks for the awesomeness of Bionicle.

3Vice-versa.

4So were other Toa named after their element prefixes? And if so are there approved names that fit the prefixes? Like I noticed several people talking about locations in MNOG and whether they were named after Toa, and I think some fit the prefixes (not sure though)

5Thanks for answering our questions, and thanks for the awesomeness of Bionicle!

51) I have no idea about Wu's last name (I always assumed it was Wu) or what their father's name was. Garmadon may well have taken the name Garmadon and it may  not be his birth name.

 

62) No "probably" about it, I am not doing them. For me to do LEGO-related books, two things have to happen: the publisher has to want me to do it and LEGO has to be okay with my doing it. In this case, LEGO decided they wanted to go in a different direction, probably because I am so heavily identified with old story and they really want to emphasize that this is new story, not old story.

13A lot of time has passed since they were invented. If the GBs were working on the problem, surely after this many years they would have made some progress on it, right?

1Hello mr Greg 

 

21-On BS01 it was mentioned that before the shattering the people of SM were a very advanced civilization, but after this event they lost the ability to build new things. Is what the civilization of SM before the shattering was at a time futuristic and medieval like the city of Asgard of Marvel but without the gods and magic? I need this answer for my fanfiction about the GB.

 

32-Is what the GB have a machine to manipulate dark energy?

 

43-The GB have built prototypes of the Matoran? if so what they look like?

 

54-What type of science the GB do?

6-Science in medicine7-military Science8-Science in astronomy and biology9-Science occult and nature

 

10Is what the GB are experts in all types of science? if so to what point they are expert in these domains? sorry for this question I need this for my fanfiction...

 

115-The spirit's wish is the only device of teleportation that the GB have built?

12buried 

 

136-Why the inhabitants of the MU have some need that the organics beings need to live? As the need to breathe and eat and drink and sleep and finally the need for light and heat. I know they are biomechanical but you said that the inhabitants of MU are more mechanical than organic.


141) No, I don't see why it would have a medieval aspect to it. I don't know that it would been massively futuristic either, necessarily.

 

152) Not to my knowledge

 

163) They did build prototypes, yes. The Av-Matoran were the prototypes.

 

174) The GBs do not do occult research, because there are no magic or supernatural elements  in the BIONICLE storyline. Other things, yes.

 

185) No idea what you are referring to

 

196) They still have organic tissue though -- muscle tissue, lungs, etc. -- and those things require things like sleep.
