1I know how busy you are, and you may have missed this, but here it is!
2I have a few more questions.
3From a friend:
41. Where did Makuta Teridax come from? And Mata Nui?
52. Would the Rahkshi be easy for a Toa Mistika to defeat? Or an Toa Inika?
6From me:
71. I'm sorry. I'm so curious and can't help but pe persistent. Did you have a plan for the Shadowed ones name? If you did, what was it?
82. Are the Bohrok still alive? I read the comics and it seemed like they were stuck with Gahdok and Cahvok.
93. Where does Jaller fit into the storyline? It seems like he was AFTER the Toa Mata.
104. If the Rahaga are a mix between Rahkshi, and rahkshi are just armor, then how did this happen?
1Yo.
21) So toa disks are forged. Could they be forged by anyone who knew the 'recipe' for the purpose of artificial power-granting, or can they only be forged in the contingency of new toa appearing? Possibly requiring a portion of toa power/elemental energy to be zapped into them?
32) Somewhat mediocre-sounding question, but could plastic be discovered in the MU?
43) Would Makuta of light have a different color of antidermis? Black-green doesn't exactly remind one of beings of light.
54) Could a Makuta of light wearing a Faxon feasibly combat the GSR with lightspeed and a Tunneler or Kraawa's power?
65) Lastly, in one of the hordika books the toa Hordika charge a gate with elemental energy. Could this be done by normal toa as well?

71) I don't have definitive information on this. The concept of Toa disks really came from the people who worked on the second movie, and I wasn't one of them.
82) I doubt it
93) Not to my knowledge
104) How would it get a Tunneler's power?
115) Yes

111) Mata Nui was built by the Great Beings. Makuta were made by Mata Nui
122) Rahkshi aren't that easy for anyone to defeat
131) The name was chosen. I have chosen not to release it.
142) Bohrok aren't really alive, in the normal sense of the term. It's the krana inside them that are alive.
153) Yes, he was. Jaller did not become a Toa until after the Matoran returned to Metru Nui in 2006 storyline.
164) The Rahaga have nothing to do with Rahkshi. Rahaga are Turaga who were mutated.

21. This seems to be a heated discussion in the fan community: What exactly does the Great Mahiki do? Does it actually change your shape? Or does it just make you look different? I always leaned toward the latter, because "shapeshifting" doesn't really equal "illusion" to me, but most sources indicate the former.
32. When Takanuva threatened to kill the Makuta, you said his comment about a "Kolhii match masquerading as a battle" was a reference to MoL. Were you not too fond of that particular aspect of the movie?
43. How did the Matoran reprogram the Bohrok after the Bahrag were defeated? Would I be correct to assume they ran on some sort of clockwork?
54. Was Lesovikk's team active before the Toa Mata were created? I'm asking because they're called "the first Toa team" but the Toa Mata were some of the earliest Toa.
65. Would a Turaga Nui be frail and weak like an elderly person, similar to how the Turaga were portrayed in the movies?
76. Similar to how an Onu-Matoran can see better in the dark than other Matoran, can an Av-Matoran see better in bright environments?
81) It does not actually change your shape. If it did, it would be a Mask of Shapeshifting.
92) I understand why it had to end that way, but I felt it was a disappointment for a lot of the fans. They would naturally have expected a big fight at the end.
103) I'm not aware of their being clockwork creatures. They have to have some sort of very rudimentary AI and that was what was altered.
114) True, but with the exception of some Av-Matoran, no one had seen the Mata acting as a team. They were in suspended animation for 100,000 years or so. So the first Toa team the general population was aware of was Lesovikk's.
125) Since it would have the powers of six Turaga combined, I don't think it would be as weak as a normal Turaga.
136) Not to my knowledge

27. About Matoran in MNOLG2. There are conflicting statements as to whether their names are canon because they weren't passed through legal. So, are they A) non-canon, or B) similar to Jaller and Hewkii's old names, where they're still canon, but LEGO isn't allowed to use them?
38. How did you decide when it's necessary to assign a name? For example, you assigned Reysa a name, but he died a couple paragraphs later and was never mentioned again. It seems like kind of a waste.
49. You started out as a freelance writer. When exactly did you become an official LEGO employee? And when did you become Editor-in Chief? And when did you officially become part of the story team?
510. How and when did the story team meet? Was it a phone/video conference? In Billund? Enfield? Did it vary?
611. Sorry if this is too personal: Does your daughter play with LEGO products?
77) Names that did not pass through Legal cannot be used, so they cannot be canon.
88) In the vast majority of books, virtually all characters have names. It's just awkward having to write stories with unnamed characters, unless it is a part of the plot that the character does not have a name. Plus, giving a character a name makes the reader think they will be around a while, and then they are surprised when they die.
99) No, I started out as a reporter, became a game designer, then a copywriter, and then I got the job at LEGO. I started freelance writing during my time as a game designer, to make ends meet. I was not doing LEGO-related freelance prior to coming to work here in 2000. I was named editor-in-chief in 2005. And I was technically on the story team from the time I started working on the comic, but really didn't get heavily involved in it until 2006, I think. Prior to that, the main story was pretty much dictated and I didn't have any input on it.
1010) In person, normally in Billund, although we had some meetings in California when the movies were being made.
1111) At pre-school, yes.

173. Actually, Jaller became a Toa IN the 2006 storyline, thus, he would've been with the matoran right after the 2005 storyline, but not yet the actual 2006 storyline
184. You are wrong, sorry. But, Rahaga are Toa Hagah that Roodaka mutated. She, in a cruel joke of irony, named them Rahaga due to them looking like Rahkshi. She took RAhkshi and raHAGA making RAHAGA.

17 4) No, Rahaga were Toa (Hagah) and their name came was given by Roodaka combining Hagah and Rahkshi due to their heads, Greg. Source is BS01
18"Roodaka mocked the small beings, calling them "Rahaga" - a combination of the words "Rahkshi" and "Hagah"."
11 Of all the Barraki, which one in your opinion is the most redeemable(possible to turn good)
22 Does magic exist in Bionicle? becuase the Dark Hunter Conjurer seems to think so
33 Can the golden skin fusion infuse matoran with Toa energy, or can only a Great Being do that
44 Is it possible for Miserix to regain his inner light? or become a good guy
11. I recall you saying something about Miserix potentially starting a new Brotherhood if he had access to Antidermis and making new Rahi if he had access to EP and viruses. Why would he want to do that? They're not inside the robot anymore, so there's really no reason to.
22. A Russian LEGO magazine had a promotional comic back in 2001 called "Legend of Lewa" that you later declared semi-canon. You didn't write it, did you?
33. The March–April 2009 European Club Magazine had a two-page promotional comic called "Secrets of Bara Magna!" that gave a brief overview on Agori/Glatorian society. Did you write this one?
44. Which magazines do you handle? Just the English one? Or several/all?
55. When exactly did the concept of passing names through legal start? Immediately after the lawsuit?
66. Some Maori-based names were never changed, specifically those of the Toa Mata, Mata Nui, geographic locations on the island, and the Kanohi. Why? And how was it decided which names had to go?
7Thank you.

20Well, sadly, 10 years is 10 years, guys.

51, 4) I don't really believe in redeeming characters, Orion. I believe a good villain is a villain for a reason, and they are not just going to suddenly turn good. They may do good things, but it will be out of their own self-interest, not because they have suddenly become virtuous.
62) No
73) You mean through the dream-granting power? It's a good question. I would be interested to hear what other people think on it.
