3you have a LEGO ID since 2002!!!!
4oldest active LEGO ID!!!
6Nope, that would be matt02.
7I've had this LEGO ID for 19-20 years. Literally when they introduced the LEGO Club features in 97 or 98, I joined. Honestly I can't believe I've had it for almost 3/4 of my life!
1Hello,
2I was wondering about a few things:
31) Now that BIONICLE G2 has ended, would it be possible to say which suggestions you gave the G2 team when the remake was still being formed?
42) In Legends of Metru Nui, was it explained why Makuta (posing as Turaga Dume) seemed to be briefly talking with himself (as ominous red eyes), and if not, do you know if this was planned to be explained in G2?
53) Are you still in touch with Chris Faber, or keeping up with his newer projects like Rebel Nature?
64) Do you have a blog or anything so we can catch up with what you're doing after the LMBs end?
7Thanks in advance, and thank you very much for the fantastic stories and world building!

8Nice! That's a very old account!

81) Not signficant enough to be worth discussing.
92) G2 had nothing to do with G1, so there would have been no point in explaining it there. It was thrown in the movie, I assume, as a tip-off that Dume was not what he seemed.
103) No, I haven't seen Christian since the last G1 story meeting I was at.
114) No, and the stuff I am working on now is not LEGO-related. I haven't had a LEGO-related freelance writing project since fall of 2015.

21) Since Annona's species reproduces asexually, why is she considered female?32) In response to when I asked you if Annona's species was widespread in the SMS, you said that we didn't know if there were other inhabited planets there, apart from SM, but you also once stated that Mata Nui never left the system, and his mission required observing cultures on other planets. So, does that mean that Annona's species is widespread in the SMS too?43) The Mata Nui Saga, shows Mata Nui observing planets and taking information from them. One of this pieces of information is a round (not perfectly, though) being with tentacles. Is that a member of Annona's species? If question 2 is correct, does that mean that Mata Nui observed some members of the species during his travels? After all, if one was on a planet and decided to eat some dreams, Mata Nui would certainly notice large groups of people suddenly going insane and would look for the cause.54) A couple pages back you asked us if we knew how the Fire Entity was created. The only thing we know about this is when you said that elemental beings were created either by the BoM (wich would probably mae them Rahi), or the GBs, and that you leaned towards the GBs. I don't know how much this can help us in correctly classifying the FE.
61) Has to do with how the mind perceives Annona. She is more often than not perceived as being female.
72) Yes
83) No. It's doubtful the person who did that art even knew about Annona
94) Since the way Makuta made Rahi would have been something invented by the GBs, they might well have made the fire entity in th same way.
101) Wait, so “she” does not actually have a gender, or does it depend on how someone is seeing “her” at the moment?113) Ok, but did Mata Nui ever observe a specimen of Annona’s species?
124) Hrm.. so, it was made with viruses and protodermis, and has at least some biomechanical componenents?
11) The identity of the voice that told Matoro to put the Ignika on was kept a secret untill 2012, when you said that “[your] feeling at the moment was that it was the Ignika itself.” Why was it kept a secret if it was just the mask?22) Speaking of mysterious voices, who told Lewa to get the Sundial from Mata Nui? I suspect it was Velika, since who else than a Great Being would know about it?
33) Since the Earth Tribe is tied to nature, does it use animals in its military?44) Does the Earth Tribe know how to fuse with plants?55) Since the Earth Tribe knew what was going on underground, did they know about Annona’s existance?66) The Earth Tribe didn’t care about ending billions of lives, why is that?77) This is probably a stupid question with an obvious answer, but is the EL of Sand aggressive and territorial like the other ones?
88) How many Velika agents would you say there are?
99) Do Velika agents know about each other? Like, would Peridtus know Atakus is one?
1010) Why does Orde think that Velika’s plan must be stopped? Okay, he wants to rule Spherus Magna, so what?
1111) Do the Vorox in Kabrua’s pack know he’s a Velika agent?
1212) Did the GBs originally belong to a tribe or more?
1313) Do you have any idea of where Gaardus might have gone (teleported?) to?1414) Since the Makuta power of Rahi Control doesn’t work on intelligent Rahi like Krahka and Keetongu, is it safe to assume that this is also true for the Mask of Rahi Control?1515) You said that if Teridax was the first Makuta ever created, he would have probably led the Brotherhood from the start. Does that mean that Miserix was the first Makuta?
16Thank you
1...aaaand another quick question: why did the bohrok need to cleanse the island of mata nui everytime he landed on a planet if it was just a barren rocky island? after the energized protodermis leak it made sense since there were all sorts of environments on the island that needed "cleaned" but before that, what would the purpose of the bohrok have been?
2we know the island was a camo feature... did the island in fact match the environment of the planet the robot landed on, and it was only a barren rock when he landed crashed on aqua magna?
3thanks again!
1Not sure if these have been asked already, but:
21. Did Takutanuva resurrect Jaller before he could go to the Red Star? Because Jaller couldn't have come back otherwise.
32. How is Avak always aware of the properties of his prisons, seeing as how they are custom-fit to perfectly hold their prisoners?
43. On a similar note, does Avak's prison power have a limit to what it can hold?
54. Had Teridax succeeded in stopping the Toa Metru from taking the Matoran to Mata Nui, how would he have dealt with the threat of Mata Nui dying?
65. Do you have names for any of the Barraki's species?
76. The Bohrok-Kal each have their own mind and personality, yet they can switch between eight different Krana-Kal. Does each set of Krana-Kal have a collective mind, or is each member of the set programmed very similarly?
87. On the topic of the Bohrok-Kal, were they selected by the Bahrag at random, or were they specifically picked in a Toa Hagah-like fashion?
1On the scroll of preparations, there are a few tasks that are oddly specific to the situation that the universe was in. Given that it was created by the great beings, how is it that the tasks the nuva had to do were so specific? (for example, they had to retrieve the heart of the visorak, which we know was so the order of mata nui could use it to have the mahri destroy the horde. but the visorak weren't created for many years after the great beings were gone and the robot launched, so how could the scroll of preparations have that listed as an item that needed to be done?

4The way it worked was that it was barren when the robot landed. An analysis was then done of the flora of the planet and the camo feature would match that flora. So it needed to be cleaned after every planetary visit.
maletoaofwater wrote:1Quick question: why didn't the toa metru just use a "remove poison" kanoka to undo their mutation into hordika?
2Once they were mutated, it was too late. The poison had already done its work. If it had been a case where you get poisoned and the poison is constantly working to maintain the mutation, then it would have been effective, but that's not how Visorak venom works.

2Two things -- one, as scientsts, the Great Beings were able to forecast probabilities. Also, Mata Nui's creation of the Makuta was a result of the GB's programming him with the plans for them, and most likely the idea of the Visorak came from the GBs too.

91) The red star resurrecting people, as a concept, did not exist in 2003. So it wasn't an issue when they did the movie.
102) I'm not sure of your question -- if he creates a prison, naturally he would know what the properties of it were.
113) Yes. His individual willpower.
124) Who knows, maybe he wouldn't have.
135) No
146) The latter
157) Random
