However, I wanted to ask you, if you know, why the Bionicle logo looked the way it did, prior the invention of the Virtues? Now, about Nixie's chart. I don't know if you've ever seen it, but it's a really cool coincidence that it has three celestial bodies. The middle "planet" on the chart is the bigger one, however it is referred to in the chart as being where Mata Nui is located. I just thought, it would be cool to canonize it as a chart of the Solis Magna system. I assume you're able to see Bota Magna and Bara Magna in the Aqua Magna sky at times, correct? Now, I know this whole idea is a bit silly, but I have a good explanation, I think. People often hold their own countries in high regard, and on world maps enlarge them, making them larger than lands that are supposed to be bigger than it. That might explain why Nixie has drawn their celestial body as the bigger one. Or it could be like a close-up on Aqua Magna. I know it didn't mean anything originally, since it was in the MNOG and the planet system wasn't made up until later, but it is cool to think that it might actually be the Solis Magna System. What do you think? Safe to canonize, or not?
21) No. I don't. Logo design was not my dept
32) I am not familiar with Nixie's chart, and I doubt it would make sense to canonize something as the Solis Magna system when that is clearly not what it was ever intended to be and no one was paying attention it when we devised Spherus Magna.
4Maybe you weren't, but a lot of fans seems to have. It even made its way into the trivia of Nixie's page on the Bionicle Wiki, though not on BS01. I had to tell the people at the Bionicle Wiki that it wasn't canon though. I still believe it makes sense to canonize though, just like you canonized the fact that the moon-like thing seen in one panel of a comic was a piece of Aqua Magna that had broken off and begun orbiting the planet.

2I doubt it. It's being written by the same guys who write the TV show, so I can't see why they would need my help.
3will you maybe make like a comic based on the movie maybe?
4 I doubt it. Papercutz, the company I did the graphic novels for, no longer has the license to do Ninjago so the only Ninjago work I am doing is short stories for a Polish publisher.

At the least, in my opinion, it indicates that they were composed of different enough materials (organic vs mechanical) to not work the same.
32. The tunnels they traveled through were obviously ancient, however, while mata nui was flying through space, they would have simply led nowhere. (Wait, right?) What was their purpose, then? Was there a case when the matoran would have had to go up to the island when he was landed on a planet?

But given they have muscles and lungs, they must also have a circulatory system, yes? The oxygen they get from the lungs has to get to the muscles somehow. Also, we know they can die from compression sickness, as seen by that matoran from mahri nui who saved hahli when she dove after the mask of life, further pointing to an organic circulatory system.
2Also, many times in various media, both their mechanical parts and their added armor has been referred to as simply "armor". (One such instance was the energized protodermis entity calling helryx a creature of "tissue and armor", and a few more came from describing the makuta's bodily composition, before and after transformation.) Is it possible that those are the same thing? That, instead of them putting on their armor as we humans might do, that the armor they "put on" is an addition to their mechanical parts? (Like when the matoran of metru nui rebuilt themselves... Basically just rebuilt their armor.) That would seem to clear up much of the ambiguity of the word "armor".
3since we can't edit our posts, i'll do an addendum here: another example pointing to this being true is that fact that rahi were also referred to as having "armor", yet i'm sure they weren't wearing any additional armor besides their mechanical anatomy.

21) We have never stated they have a circulatory system as such, more like a lubrication system. A circulatory system implies blood, which implies the capacity to bleed, which LEGO would not allow. Yes, your medical basis for the argument is correct -- for humans -- but we are not dealing with humans.

41) I see armor for non-Rahi as something that can be taken off and put on. As for Rahi, the use of "armor" in that context is the same as the use of armor in our world when referring to certain dinosaurs.

51) Or it simply means their AI is of a different type from other MU inhabitants and is protected better against hacking.
62) As I recall, they were tunnels for the Bohrok to migrate up to the face.
