1I feel like you are asking two different questions. Whether or not the mask was present with the Toa Mangai during the battle with the KD, and whether or not the mask can control the KD. Which one are you looking to have answered?
2Also, I couldn't fit this into my other post, but the main reason I'm asking about this is so that we have a better idea of how to run the Mangai mask polls from now on, since those seem to be all the rage these days. If the mask works on the KD and shouldn't be included in those polls from now on, then that's important for us to know, but it also opens up the plot hole of Kualus not using his Mask of Rahi Control to contain the KD when he easily could have. And if it is made a viable option, then that gives the fanbase something else to consider when polls are inevitably made to decide the last few Toa Mangai masks.
3The way I look at it is that it could work on the KD, and he simply did not use it. In any battle, especially in comics, the hero might four or five ways they could subdue the villain. They don't use the same one every time. If Kualus was in the middle of a real melee, with destruction all around, he may not have been able to focus sufficiently to use the mask correctly. He may not have wanted to risk being distracted and the KD suddenly "coming to" and attacking his team.
4I see nothing anywhere to indicate the mask would not work on the KD, I think it was a case that Kualus chose not to use it or simply thought doing something else would be more effective. I think you can look at the masks worn by the Nuva and see plenty of instances where they could have used their powers to deal with a situation, but didn't ... in the same way that there are instances where Superman could use his strength to win a battle, but has used heat vision or super breath instead.
5Okay. I, personally, don't agree, but I appreciate the answer nonetheless. Thank you!

2Well, that's because they're not heroes.
3They are brutal
4destructive
5insane
6broken
7robots.
8They have no morals.
9They are all gods in their world.
10They do not die, and thus consider themselves higher than all of the other beings.
11And for them, if they are low, they are evil.
12And if they are evil, they must be destroyed.
13Because they believe themselves to be heroes.
14But they are not heroes.
11) What was your involvement with Hero Factory? Were you part of the story team or did you just write the comics and books ?
22) Was it hard to write the HF books since you were so used to writing BIONICLE ?
33)If a Toa wears a great Kanohi Hau with the shape of a Miru, and the Toa becomes a Turaga, will the mask have the shape of a noble Hau or a noble Miru ?
44) Did you have more plans for Mata Nui ? Or was he gonna sleep forever inside the mask ?

5Then, by all means, suggest your own answer. I am not married to my suggestions.

15None of this is actually canon. I just made it up.But perhaps it has some truth in it. Or not.
16What species are you referring to? The Rahkshi? The Rahkshi are basically evil roaches, nobody is going to grieve over their ending.

51) Mainly the books I did. I was not on the story team.
62) No. In a normal day here, I write for many different lines for the LEGO Club Magazine, so I am used to switching between them.
73) Miru.
84) No, not at the point the line ended. If it had continued past 2011, maybe we would have done something, but we had not discussed anything yet.

2This was never answered.
3They didn't live in Metru Nui, or you would have seen them on Mata Nui. They lived elsewhere in the robot, but I don't have details on where.
