2I remember reading somewhere that Makuta were made as beings of Shadow because there were Rahi that dwelled there. But that wouldn't make such sense considering the "evil" nature of Shadow as an element, and how only some Rahi dwell in shadows, and how even more dwell in light, and really, who would need Shadow as a primary power when you already have Rahi Control?
3So what I'm really getting at is simple enough: Makuta originally didn't have a main element, but they ended up being so jealous they ended up with Shadow as an element, just through dwelling on their inner shadows enough. On the flip side, the Melding Universe Makuta focused on their inner good, and ended up as having light as an element. So did the Makuta reach those elements naturally? On the contrary, could Makuta already be so elementally strong that they are more powerful than another being who naturally gained the light/shadow element?

4I am reluctant to canonize something like this that is going to fundamentally change an aspect of the mythos. Not, at least, without their being some discussion of the pros and cons by the fan base.

2So, on the topic of The Red Star, why can't Rahi be revived on it? Of course, there are are many reasons, like there being too many Rahi to revive, but I still wonder.
3Let's just get the stupid question over with.
4I know you don't do much planning, but judging from previous bionicle stories, I came to the conclusion that the CGB would die, A&B wouldn't, Vezon wouldn't, the matoran wouldn't, and Helryx would. Is any of this correct? Even though chances are you don't even know.
5Back to actual questions.
6Is the Energized Protodermis Entity mechanical, biomechanical, or organic?
7Could two Suletu users with their masks activated hear the thoughts that the other Suletu user is hearing within the other Suletu user's thoughts?
8Thanks for reading this questions.
91) There was no need, for one thing, since Makuta could turn oiut Rahi as needed. There is also a space issue. Think about how big some Rahi are. The space on the red star is not infinite.
102) I pretty much decided who was going to die (with the exception of Matoro) as the story moved along. I might think in terms of killing someone and then either come up with a better idea for how to use them or decide from reading fan posts that people would want him around, and change my mind.
113) Not really any of the three.
124) Sorry, don't understand your question

2It's not my place to comment on things like this. They are the new story team for BIONICLE and they have to be left to do with it what they think best.

5I personally would consider:6PROS:
- 7Makes BIONICLE somewhat more realistic by having the GB's not make a race that's exclusively evil extremely powerful in the BIONICLE universe
- 8Lends more credibility to the Melding Universe Makuta's affiliation with light (why couldn't the GB's have made them that way)
- 9Explains how some of the Makuta weren't evil, despite having the element of shadow.
10CONS:
- 11Changes an aspect of BIONICLE fully.
