2I know light and shadow are equal but which is more powerful a makuta of shadow or a toa of light?3Can a Toa of Light take out a Makuta in two (or three) shots? (Assuming the makuta can fight back.)4Which of three types of light can incenerate anterdermis? (Solid, Elemental, or Laser.)5Can a Makuta feel Elemental Light in thier Protodermis shell?6Is light dangerous to other species beside Makuta?7Can Toa of Light move and think at the speed of light? (Kinda like the Flash or Quicksilver)8How much Light can a Toa of Light use in say an hour?9Thanks
10P.S. I saw that you said LEGO would prefer you not to post in other topics. I think alot of us fans would love for you to be able to.

2First of all, I would like to tell you that you did a great job with BIONICLE. It has a really awesome storyline! Second, there are a few questions that I would like to know the answers to:
31. I don't know if anyone has asked this before, but what happened to Ahkmou?
42. How did the Toa Mahri end up breathing normal air?
53. What happened to Hydraxon, and does he still remember his life as Dekar?
64. Did Toa Jaller leave his hahnah crab in Mahri Nui?
75. Who went to Spherus Magna in the Makuta robot, and who didn't?
8Thanks so much for taking time to answer everyone's questions!
Also, is there any way to find out how the BIONICLE story ended? I never found out.
Thanks again!
91) He's on Spherus Magna
102) Just before he died, Matoro used the power of the Ignika to send them back to Metru Nui and make them amphibious.
113) Hydraxon is on Spherus Magna, and no.
124) Yes
135) Nobody can stay in the robot. Besides the fact that there is no longer heat or light in it, it's been taken apart so the materials can be used to build shelters for the former MU inhabitants.
146) Depends on which "ending" you are referring to. The main story ending was in the Journey's End novel, which was published online. As far as the serials go, I can't end those because the focus of LEGO Company is on new BIONICLE, so there's no interest in doing new story for old BIONICLE.

2Toa Helryx wears the Great Mask of Psychometry, which allows her to learn details about the past of an object by making physical contact with it. Does this also work on lands masses? For example, if Helryx wanted to learn details about the past of a certain island, could she touch it, activate her mask, and receive details about it like she would about an object?
3 Also, does this mask work on really big things like the Mata Nui Robot?
41) It would work on the robot, but I don't think it would work on a land mass. You could pick up a rock, say, and get information on how that rock has been used in the past, but I think a land mass would have had such varied experiences you would get really confusing input.

(I don't know much about ninjago, so you would be the expert to answer my questions.) thank you.
2I didn't create NINJAGO, so the theme was not my idea.

1The questions I have for you today aren't about the actual storyline, but rather are about you and BIONICLE as a story.
21) How do you feel about BIONICLE? Is it something you're proud of?
32) Do you feel, or have you ever felt, an emotional attachment to the storyline you've created?
43) Do you still care about it, or has enough time passed now that there are other things on your mind?
54) I've been beating around the bush on this one, since it seems unlikely to most people and you probably get asked this a lot, but, do you think it's something that you'd ever, at any point in the future, consider continuing or finishing, if it were possible?
6I ask these questions because BIONICLE, to me, is an amazing story, and it would really be an injustice in my opinion if it went unfinished at a time when there was so much to look forward to. I still don't want to give up hope that it will be continued someday.
7Thank you for your time.
81) Yes. I had a lot of good experiences as a result of BIONICLE and worked with a lot of great people.
92) Sure.
103) Yes, I do still care about it.
114) The key phrase is "if it were possible." I asked last year about the possibility of finishing the serials, at least, but that didn't go anywhere. The focus of the company, understandably, is promoting new BIONICLE. "New" story of old BIONICLE is not going to do that, and it would only confuse more casual fans. So it's unlikely anyone here is going to ask me to do more work on the old story. Right now, it's not a question of lack of desire on my part, but it's not something that makes any business sense for the company.

4Well, they probably would not have access to their elemental powers for a while, while they recharged. I am not sure on the fatigue issue, but it would certainly seem likely that there would be some physical effect like that.

2Is there a new book(s) for Ninjago all ready out because the last Ninjago book I read from your series is Comet Crisis,was that the last one?
3--------------------------------------------------
------- 4When did you start writing graphic novel for LEGO?I am pretty curious because if you were writing your books when Ole Christain Kirk was around,you will be in your 110s or 120s!
5--------------------------------------------------
------- 6When they changed the date for the Ninjago movie did you have to edit the book 'The Phantom Ninja'because you wrote the old date (it's okay,you didn't know they were gonna change it),or did you leave it alone.Did you take the out permanetly.
7--------------------------------------------------
------- 8Those are all my question for now!I hope you reply!
9Happy Thanksgiving Mr.Farshtey!
101) The Papercutz series ended with Comet Crisis, because the company lost the license. The new NINJAGO series is being published by Little Brown and features stories produced by a company called Blue Ocean.
112) The first graphic novels I wrote were this series. I wrote the BIONICLE comic from 2001-2009.
123) No idea what you're referring to. I wrote the script for the adventure, which does not reference the movie in any way. The ads are written by someone else.

This may not have been something you have considered; I was just curious.
2You make an excellent point. But as I have often pointed out, BIONICLE is comic book science (you know, where Hercules can manually tow the island of Manhattan back to its proper position, completely ignoring the fact that in real life Manhattan is built on bedrock). We followed real world science when it suited us, and ignored it when it didn't.

They can still function outside the robot, the same way that your car battery would still give off electricity if you took it out of the car. But it won't run your car if it's not inside it and attached the way it is supposed to be. A broken Vahi would affect time inside the robot, but not in the entire rest of the universe. If it could, it would mean that the GBs allowed for the creation of a mask that harnessed a fundamental force of the entire universe as a small piece of a robot they were sending off into uncharted space. That would be like someone just deciding to toss some anti-matter in a magnetic field into your minivan, for the heck of it.
2This seems fishy to me. Time isn't something that can be different inside a closed container vs. the outside of it. the mask of life, sure, but time is a little more... universal.
3even if there was something to keep a temporal disruption from affecting anything outside the robot, as soon as the robot was opened, then the outside would be affected as well... wait not even that makes sense.

15Thank you so much!!!
I'd really been wondering about Ahkmou and Hydraxon.
16But what I was referring to was the BIONICLE ending that was posted online. I heard things about a red star, and stuff like that. But the only thing I knew about the end was how life was transported to Spherus Magna and everything was made great again. So what I was wondering was, is there any website or anything that I could find the story that happened after the LEGO Club comics ended?
? 14) Yeah, I get that it doesn't really make sense right now, with the new BIONICLE getting off the ground and such. But, I guess what I'm asking is, if, at any point in the future, someone presented you with the opportunity to continue the story, would you still want to do it, or has it been long enough where you're no longer interested?
2Just the fact that this thread is still going gives me a lot of hope. I know that the original BIONICLE story, and all of its richly detailed narritive, inspired world building, and exciting twists and turns, means a lot to a lot of people, and the continued existance of this thread, where the story can be acknowledged and elaborated upon, is really great.
3I also have some actual storyline-related questions that occured to me. Some of them might have been asked before, but, here they are:
45) I would think that Teridax's Plan would hinge upon the fact that he can control machinery as Antidermis, as that's the way that he takes over the GSR. But, in The Mutran Chronicles, it shows that the Makuta went through their evolution after Teridax came up with his Plan. So, what did Teridax plan to do when he first had the idea? What was the significance of the knowledge that the universe was a giant robot if it didn't mean that he could become the universe?56) Can any Matoran become a Toa, or do destined Matoran have something programmed into them that lets them become Toa, while non-destined Matoran can't?66b) If the latter is the correct one; in The Kingdom, there were six Matoran that became Toa. Does that mean that those six Matoran have that potential in the main universe as well?77) Did the Brotherhood of Makuta know the location of the Dark Hunters' fortress?88) Did Teridax assemble his team of Hagah before or after taking control of the Brotherhood?99) Can Makuta shapeshift wings and fly around whenever they need to get somewhere? Or would that take too much energy?1010) When did Ancient start working for the Order of Mata Nui?
