33a) Before the Red Star's dysfonction, did the ressurection of the dead was common knowledge among the MUians?4Since we know that Gaardus waited a long time to kill again and again the rogue Nynrah Ghosts who mutated him, it seems that it was.
53b) If yes, was death taken lightly at that time?
64a) Since the ressurection process was intended to work properly on non-sapient beings, did the revived MUians sent back to the MU had generally gone insane, lunatic or quite weird?74b) If so, did the fear of death was already present at that time for the rest of MUians? Therefore, did the living avoided the revived?84c) If it's not all of that, how reacted the revived to their ressurection and how reacted the living to the return of the dead?
95) After the Red Star's dysfonction, how MUians have forgotten all of that while other myths and legends continued to being remembered through ages (as Tren Krom, for example)?
10And to finish, an easy one:116) Does Tahu wears the Golden Armor over his Adaptive Armor? In other words, does the GA connects itself over Tahu's AA?
123a) I would say no, since no one ever talked about it
134a) Well, we have seen there is a lot of confusion when they are brought back
144b) Again, since it wasn't being talked about, it probably was not common knowledge. If you died, got brought back, but were perhaps brought back somewhere way far away from where you lived before, who would know?
155) See answer to 3
166) I think I have probably answered this before, but don't recall what the answer was

91) I don't understand your question. Matoran cannot use mask powers.
102) It probably wouldn't be a great idea, since you would wind up with a really powerful Kaita Kanohi and the other two Toa involved might not be able to control it
113) No
124) A Toa with no mask on would most likely be too weak to form a Kaita
135) No, I don't believe so.

I’d usually trust the earlier version, but on things like this, I’m not really sure. But if the correct version is the second one, who or what caused their deaths? And was it intentional?
22) You mentioned that you're working on something non-LEGO-related, can you tell us what it is?
33) Would it be possible for you to join the BS01 wiki to continue answering questions? Like, people could ask you things on your talk page. It doesn't really have an age-verification system, but since it is part of the LEGO Ambassador Network it wouldn't be a problem, right?
4I believe this was buried
51) The former
62) No, it's just stuff of my own. No idea if it will even be published
73) My understanding is I cannot post if there is no age verification system in place. I'm not allowed to post anywhere outside of here if there is a possibility of people under 13 being on the site.

6I am not sure why the evolution would have required the creation of Toa Hagah teams. The Makuta have not struck me as particularly vulnerable since then. But, frankly, why should Makuta have to be bothered with every potential threat to themselves, when they could have Toa handle it for them? When you are powerful and influential, you don't dirty your hands, you hire people to do that for you.

153) So, can you make Kaita put off his mask, then fuse another three Toa, that have Kaita's masks (for example fused Toa wear Aki, Rua and Mahiki) and doing this for many times, create a Kanohi with all Kanohi powers?
163a)If not, how many powers one Kanohi can contain and does it depend of what kind of protodermis mask is made of?

10I just wanted to say thank you a lot for answering our questions since the begining, and even until the rush of LMB's closure. Although I believe this constant sharing of informations between fans and creators may have altered Bionicle in some wrong ways, your dedication to this universe (and its fans) and your work to expand it are cleary memorable.11Thank you again.
124b) Okay, but why have the revived never spoken about it? I'm sure this kind of stories would have made A LOT speak about them.

31a) Which reasons prompted Velika to do the Awakening? What were his motivations?41b) Did the consequences of having sapient MUians (freewill, emotions, warlike and ideological conflits, Teridax-like behaviours, ...) were well known at the moment by Velika? Do they have any importance in his plans?
52a) Did Mata Nui was fully sapient from the begining or was affected by the Awakening like other MUians?62b) If he was already sapient, why wasn't he astonished by the consequences of the Awakening? Did he know that was somehow possible?
71) Because sapient Matoran would be more likely to follow him.
82) As we have already established, Mata Nui was paying very little attention to what was going on inside of him. Until you get sick, how much attention do you pay to what is going on inside your body?
91) Is it his only motive?102) Just a point of clarification: so, Mata Nui was fully sapient for the start, right?

171) Unknown. We really didn't spend a lot of time on the rules for Matoran Kaita.
183) No, you can't do that. Less for an in-story reason than for an "unbalancing the story" reason. A Toa with a mask that has every mask power basically would make other Toa superfluous.

4As for your first point -- I have to disagree with you a little. While I am sure there are people who would have preferred a lot of the questions I answered NOT be answered, fact is it was their fellow fans asking the questions. To me, their desire to know is just as important as someone else's desire not to know. A lot of people like movie spoilers -- I don't, so I avoid them. No one was under some mandate to read my answers if they didn't want to know these things.

7Every Toa Hagah teams were created in the same time?
1Dear Mr. Fahrsty.
2I had an idea recently.
3so the MU inhabitants gained sentience from Velika interacting with them and their minds were evolving to compensate.
4and we do have situations where we see matoran interacting romanticaly (namely Maku and Hewkii)
5and we also know the matoran (and other species) are capable of other types of love (such as loyalty, friendship, and reverence)
6so therefore they could eventually develop new emotions (such as romantic love)
7so maybe Maku and Hewkii ahead of the game compared to the rest
8so therefore can you verify that romantic love was BECOMING canon?

5But some times ago, I think to recall you have stated the revived were supposed to keep all of their memories after their ressurection, including their death. So, another possible dysfonction in the process? Like some post-traumatic conditions altering the memory, maybe?
6Don't get me wrong: I'm 100% agree with you on the "have the right to know" point. By "wrong ways", I was referring to the confusion about certain answers' validity and interpretations which have been debated at some points, and the issues involved for the wikis and the fans who write those wikis. And so, some fans would claim "that thing is canon, Greg said it!" and another group would respond "no, it's the opposite: you put words in his mouth!".
