1 Right off the bat, i understand fully why you and others wouldn't want it to be canon.  Romance in living animals exists for the rather singlular purpose of reproduction, and that is not something that exists within the Matoran species.  Plus this is a childrens toy and its probably best to stay as far from a topic like that as possible.  However, i feel that the relationships included in some of the older books offer a good reason to include the EMOTION of love at least.  Take the relationship between Nokama and Matau (or rather how Matau acts towards Nokama) for example. Normally he is a very confident character, sort of full of himself, but in the older books he has a major soft-spot for Nokama specifically. He is very protective of her, and is shy of his feelings. I know that these scenes are now non-canon, but i feel that choice threw away some really unique character building. Without those scenes, Matau is sort of a one-dimensional over-confident dude (no offense), but with them he gets that crutial extra bit of depth that makes his character that little bit more interesting.

2You could argue that Matau/Nokama relationship is just one of very close friendship, but i think that at least leaving it open to enterpretation would make it a little more interesting. It is more fun and engaging for the reader to have two characters that you can't quite tell whether or not they are more than friends, than to have two characters that you know exactly what sort of relationship they have.  That unknown factor can spawn discussion, and ultimately that is a good thing (most of the time). 

 

3So i guess my real question is this; 

 

4Would you ever consider reinstating love (outwith what a sort of brother/sister love) as a thing that the Matoran kind can experience? 


5That said, though -- you are now going to have MU inhabitants exposed to the concept on SM. So there is no telling what effect that might have.

11.)  Do you still have the photo for the Dark Hunter Phantom?

 

22.) Is there any way for us to obtain what was finished for the Bionicle Graphic Novel 10 like the art already done by Zanier? And what did you have planned for the plot?

1Thank you for the reply.  I've been a Bionicle fan since i can remember, and its pretty cool to have an interaction with the guy behind most of it!  And i got to influence the canon a tiny, tiny amount, so thats rad too.

1If BIONICLE characters don't have fingers, how do they use launchers (for example, Midak Sky Launchers had clear triggers) which require pulling the trigger? Also, how do they use shoulder-mounted blaster (like one Nuparu Inika uses.)

1Hello Mr Greg! I would like to know how  BIONICLE characters do brush their teeth, if they have no fingers?

1Well, it turns out the fanabse is taking that and running with it as far as confirmation goes.

 

2Just to be absolutely clear - Are you saying it'd merely be interesting to see if Matoran observation will have any affect on them? Or that Matoran can now love as an Agori or a human can?

 

3(I figure it's the former, but people love to read into things so I just wanna make sure)

1Hi Mr. Farshtey,

2I honestly don't know why I haven't come on this topic sooner, but I'm here now XD

3First off, I'm a huge fan of your writing!  I've read practically all your Ninjago books through the season 2 canon, and now that I finally had time to catch up with the episodes for seasons 3 and 4 I'm hoping I can read your more recent ones soon, too! Happy

4Being an aspiring author myself, I gotta ask- what advice would you offer to ameteur writers like me?  And how did you get started with working for LEGO?

5And do you ever critique stories for people? Joking  I know you probably don't, but I thought I might as well ask on the off chance that you do happen to XD

6Sorry if I'm asking questions that you've already answered- I haven't read through all 680+ pages of the topic Joking  And thanks in advance! Happy  You're awesome! Thumbs up

1Hello Greg, I think my questions got buried:

 

  1. 2Is there winter in the Matoran Universe? For example on Zakaz?
  2. 3Can Toa forge a mental link with other Toa?
  3. 4Can Toa of Light absorb Skakdi's Visions? For example light or heat vision?
  4. 5Can Skakdi's Vision be deflected by a mirror or a weapon?
  5. 6Can we find salt water inside the Matoran Universe? Or maybe "salt protodermis"?
  6. 7Is Botar's species capable of interplanetary travels?
  7. 8Can some of the species (for example: Skakdi) survive being frozen in a block of solid ice for... a few months? Or years?
  8. 9Can Toa of Light move as fast as light?
  9. 10Can Toa use their Toa Power to heal themselves?

11Have a nice day Unikitty

1 More few questions:21) Arround how many Toa are in the Melding alternate universe?32) Can a Matoran of the Melding become a Toa?43) Do the Matoran have a slight resistence to the pit mutagen? Because their physical changes were not as radical as radical as the Barraki's.54) How do the Rahi feed? Do they actually eat Matoran?65) Can the Makuta use their quick healing power to restore a wound of his armor?76) If a Makuta absorbes someone whoes will cannot conquer (like the Kingdom Teridax and Matoro), would his body explode?87) Could a Makuta partially control a Toa Hordika with his Rahi Control powers?

1Was the Pit Mutagen still present when Mata Nui have restored Spherus Magna? And if so, did it affect Spherus Magna in any way?

1 1. On Youtube. somebody has a review of the following Ninjago 2HY minifigures: Morro, Wrayth, and Airjitzu Kai. I have no idea where he obtained them, other than the fact that they were purchased off the internet as they came in a paper folder. On the back of the Morro minifigure, is a symbol. According to a website, the symbol is Japanese for "Cornerstone". Is there a connection between that word and Morro, or is it just a coincidence, or you can't reveal it yet?
22. What is your favorite Bionicle book?33. Which Bionicle book did you find was the most fun to write?44. What's the size of a Kakgarak compared to a Toa?54b) how about the regular visorak?

1Was it ever said in the entire of Bionicle Gen1 lore where Lhikan was from? Was he from Metru Nui or some other place in the MU?

2We know he's definitely not from Metru Nui, but we don't know where exactly he's from.
