1I have a few more final questions to ask but I have to say, the insight into seeing that Nidhiki and Lariska still had a friendship after his horrifying transformation, makes his demise by Teridax that much more tragic.
21. Considering the Spear of Fusion's resting place in Teridax's Mangaia chamber before it was taken by Vezon, can we presume that Teridax built the Spear of Fusion? Or was it created by Artakha and stolen when Makuta Kojol raided the island when he took the Mask of Light? Curious about its origins.
32. All beings absorbed by a Makuta's shadow hand cannot be revived on the red star correct? Could they be revived if their consciousness took over the mind of the Makuta? Like how Matoro destroyed Teridax's mind in The Kingdom universe?
43. Do all Rahkshi have to have their staffs in hand to use their powers? In The Darkness Below, the silver Rahkshi of Lightning was able to hurl bolts of electricity from its hands at Nokama. Are their exceptions to this rule or can Rahkshi hold their staffs in one hand and fire with an open hand?
54. Is Marendar completely mechanical, bio-mechanical, or organic?
65. A previous question I asked dealt with the Brotherhood not being the only ones involved in the Toa of Iron / Magnetism Purge, such as did they hire Dark Hunters and other assassins to destroy Toa for them? Especially considering Makuta were afraid of such Toa for their abilities, it seems odd they would all directly attack them.
76. Final question: Where are Vezon and The Shadowed One? (My favorite characters you've ever created) considering where you last left them in story.
8Thank you Mr. Farshtey. It's going to be tragic not being able to contact you after next month ever again. I hope we all can find a way to keep this going. Your dedication to story is incredible. I miss greatly reading your works online like we all did years ago. It's not going to be the same.

36. Cliffhanger. Vellika was about to try to blow them up when the serials were shut down.
1Buried, I hope there's still time:
2I heard the message boards were closing, and I wanted to get a few more questions in.
31. Did the Great Beings make the gravity level, flow of time, etc in the Matoran Universe similar to those of Spherus Magna? I'm asking because the MU beings don't seem to have any problems being on the planet.
42. Do the Zesk respect Malum the same way the Vorox do?
53. Speaking of which, is there any hope of the Zesk and Vorox returning to normal?
64. Is Tuma truly the last leader-class Skrall in existence? Or is it possible there are some on Bota Magna?
74b. Could more be born, or do their parents have to be leader-class, too? I feel like this was answered somewhere before...
85. I recall you saying once that the reason Takua was able to become a Toa by simply putting on the Avohkii is because the Avohkii was infused with Toa energy, much like a Toa stone. Any idea who may have done this?
96. The Mana Ko were loyal to the Order of Mata Nui. However, they worked for Teridax and followed his orders. Teridax presumably fitted them with Infected Masks. The Mana Ko recieved the mental training all Order members do. Does this mean that Order members are immune to Infected Masks?
107. You once said Icarax was probably the best Makuta in terms of combat. Would you say that Mutran was one of the worst? He didn't see much action.
117b. Similarly, would you say that Icarax wasn't the best scientist?
128. Once everything is settled on Spherus Magna, do you think there will be any interest of restarting the Archives, or some other museum?
139. You once expressed interest in having Ahkmou and Metus meet. What do you think would come of this meeting?
1410. Finally, if a Makuta dies while still connected to a being wearing an Infected Mask, what would happen? Would the mask become tied to another Makuta, or would it become usless?
15Thanks. I hope we can find an alternative way to connect you with fans somehow.

71) Artakha made it
82) No, because even if they controlled Makuta, they would then have an antidermis body. Antidermis-based life cannot be revived on the red star.
93) Staffs are for better directing their power, but they aren't essential.
104) Bio-mechanical
115) Yes, DH were involved
126) TSO is still active on Spherus Magna, and Vezon escaped the tower.
1Oh I'm so sad! LEGO MB's are CLOSING?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! But since they are, I just want to say thank you, Mr. Farshtey, for answering all these questions? I wonder how many questions you have answered in this subject alone! Probably thousands. But thank you for answering all these questions. Usually, if you send some mail to an author you like, you get an advertisment back about their next book, not a personal response, but you answer all these questions personally!!! THAT'S SO AWESOME!!! So thanks again!
2P.S... I did have a few questions :
3(1) Do you prefer Apple or Samsung?
4(2) What is your favourite droid in Star Wars? Out of droids like C-3PO or R2-D2, or BB-8, or IG-88? (Mine's BB-8)
5(3) Lastly, what is your favourite LEGO set that you own?

3Not to mention that the Spear didn't always belong to Teridax: Many years before the Great Cataclysm, the spear was used by a Dark Hunter on two Toa, resulting in the creation of the future Dark Hunter Prototype.4So, it lets me think that the spear was gained by the Makuta during the DH/BoM war (just like the Destral Cycle, stolen during a batlle between the DH and the BoM). Correct ?

21) Does Tahu wears the Golden Armor over his Adaptive Armor? In other words, does the GA connects itself over Tahu's AA?
32a) Initially, the Makoki Stone was a tablet. After being passed from one hand to another, cut in six pieces and used by the Rahaga and the Turaga of Mata Nui as keys (for the Avohkii's cache and the entrace to Mangaia), the Makoki Stone could be assembled as a sphere. Do you know which characters have carved the Stone's pieces like that?4My guess would be that the Rahaga had designed the six pieces like simple flat keys, and then the Turaga of Mata Nui would had polished the pieces in order to be able to assemble them in a sphere capable of opening the particular lock of the Kini Nui entrace to Mangaia.
52b) After all it's been through, is there actually some original informations about the Brotherhood of Makuta that remain on the Makoki Stone pieces?
63) During the Karda Nui Saga, the Toa Nuva made a mental link with a Matoran each time the two connected themselves via the Adaptive Armor, resulting in an instant sharing of memories. Since this ability is fairly similar to the Toa capacity of forging a mental link with a being (only shown with Gali and Takua in 2001's and 2008's story), it does make me wonder something.7Does the Adaptive Armor enhance this natural Toa capacity of making a mental link with someone, making it automatic?8It would make sense that AAs are equipped with such a thing: since AAs are conceived to facilitate Toa's job, know all about the situation in which you have to save people in just one mental connection seems to be very helpful.9Moreover, it's exactly what happend when the Av-Matoran Tanma accidentally connected to Lewa's Adaptive Armor: the Toa of Air became aware of all the problems in Karda Nui in one instant.
10Buried.
1So, I had a few ideas for adaptive armor variations
2- Vulcanic Climates - Would have a degree of fire resistance, feature internal cooling systems and feature a thiner or brighter armor that doesn't absorb as much heat.
3- Cave/Underground - Would give a degree of night vision, and protect against the intense air pressure, and feature tools that can be used for climbing. The armor would be fitted for getting through tight spaces.
4Also, perhaps the space mode had some kind of magnetic boots that can be used to pull oneself to the ground or stick to the ground, such as an asteroid, for example.
1Hi Greg! I have a couple questions.
21. You have previously stated that Annona was based off of a charcter from Hungarian mythology. What specifically is she based off of?
32. In Reign of Shadows Chapter 8, it states that "Axonn's left arm hung useless at his side." What caused this?
43. Are Artakha and Karzahni the same species?
54. Why does Antidermis "power up" Brutaka's species?
