Here we go -- Farshtey Feed #2. I'd like to congratulate my brother on turning fourteen today. Wish him happy birthday!

KARDA NUI

  • The Axalara T9 was not intended for any specific Toa.
  • It will take hundreds of thousands of years for the Ignika to run out of power.
  • All of the vehicles could get supercharged under the right circumstances.
  • Even if one of the Mistika Makuta got new protosteel armor, he (or she) still would have limited access to his powers.
  • The energy in the lightstones is one of the energy sources that causes the mutagen.
  • Ignika's waking up Mata Nui would not deplete its energy.
  • Toa Ignika knows what the Toa Nuva are fighting for.
  • Toa Ignika wants to experience and understand Matoro's heroism.
  • Since Toa Ignika was inspired by Matoro, his voice sounds a little like Matoro's voice.

DWELLERS IN DARKNESS

  • The Toa Hagah took Zaktan beneath the Coliseum with them.
  • The Toa Hagah are on the right trail.
  • The Mask of Rahi Control, unlike the Komau, can work on multiple targets at once.
  • The Mask of Rahi Control cannot control insects very well.

BROTHERS IN ARMS

  • It's doubtful that Jerbraz would turn visible again if he died.

METRU NUI

  • The Matoran of Metru have not yet reopened the coastal gates.
  • Being put into stasis in the Archives, the Kardas Dragon will not explode, since its ability to create energy will be slowed along with all its other life processes.
  • Helryx and co. came through the gate the Shadowed One opened in Time Trap.
  • The Artakha Bull (or mutated Kane-Ra) guarding the Blade Burrower map under Metru Nui simply adopted it as its territory.

THE PIT

  • Lesovikk and Sarda have captured some prisoners.
  • Pridak and Mantax are working separately in their evasion of Hydraxon and Lesovikk.
  • The Ignika chose to transform Dekar into Hydraxon because it would be useful to fight the Barraki with an old enemy of theirs.

THE BIG PICTURE

  • The places where the Ignika was forged and cooled were in the Great Beings' own universe.
  • Mata Nui is not capable of leaving his own body at will like a Makuta.
  • The Great Beings set the destinies of what they created.
  • Greg would say that Mata Nui cannot create energized ptotodermis.
  • The energized protodermis pipes that leaked onto Mata Nui were put there by the Great Beings.
  • Energized protodermis was in some placed specifically placed, and in others it was not.
  • Mata Nui's obscurity is a byproduct of his running the universe.
  • Destiny is immutable even if one sees the future with a Mask of Clairvoyance.
  • Greg would say that Mata Nui cannot open portals to other dimensions.

GENERAL

Characters
  • Hydraxon could wear a mask if he wanted to.
  • Lariska will be appearing again soon.
  • The Piraka most likely got their weapons from Xia, since they got their weapons as dark hunters.
  • Vultraz was rebuilt into his larger form (thought he was mutated?).
  • Ancient was recruited by the OoMN shortly after the founding of the Dark Hunters.
  • Sidorak's species could use Kanohi.
  • Matoran of Plant Life are not rare.
  • Greg would say probably Toa of Iron and Magnetism are the most rare types, given that the majority have been killed.
Creatures
  • There aren't a ton of Mana-Ko.
  • There were not many other organic life forms other than the birds on Mata Nui.
Storyline
  • The voice that told Lewa to get the sundial was not Krakua.
  • Here's why the Toa Nuva had so much trouble fighting Rahkshi and the Toa Metru did not: the Rahkshi the Nuva fought were under direct orders from Makuta and being directed by him. The ones the Metru fought were wild. It's the difference between running into a dog and running into a trained attack dog.
Brotherhood of Makuta
  • The Makuta do not have psychic barriers to keep their light from replenishing, since they have consciously rejected it.
  • There's a possibility some Toa Hagah teams became corrupt and served in the Makuta's armies.
  • The Makuta's masks do not all have alarm devices.
  • Teridax was not planning to use the Nui stone on Ahkmou if he became a Toa.
  • Most Makuta have a personal weapon cache.
  • Teridax's being crushed and evicted from his armor was not a part of his Plan.
  • Icarax felt that Miserix was not politically smart enough to survive.
  • The Makuta made Destral's teleportation system before the Great Cataclysm.
Physiology
  • Bionicle beings only need to eat every couple of days most likely.
  • Greg doesn't believe Makuta or Toa have vocal cords.
  • A Matoran couldn't reconstruct himself to the size of a Toa because his muscle tissue would not be able to support parts that large.
  • It takes a long time for a Toa to recharge from a nova blast.
Language
  • The "-ka" suffix from the words "phantoka" and "mistika" could be said to mean "spirit," alongside the words "Iden" and "Mata."
Real Life
  • As far as Greg is concerned, how the weapons from the Xian Weapons contest work and how they are made is what is considered canon.
  • The new naming system will have more of a Greco-Roman feel rather than Polynesian.
  • Jeremy Brazeal will illustrate at least one of the level 3 readers in 2009.
