1Hi Greg,2Recently on BZP you revealed that Lhikan's team is called the Toa Mangai, and that the Mangai Volcano was named for them. Out of curiosity (and because it would look cool on the wiki) did Vakama choose this name since the volcano's role in protecting Ta-Koro would be similar to the Toa Mangai's role in defending Metru Nui? After all, you made it clear in Maze of Shadows that the protection of the village was Vakama's key reason for choosing the volcano as its site.
3That's all I can think of now. Thanks in advance.

1Is there a Calendar system in the MU?2How long would a year be in the MU? Would you figure it be the same as here on Earth?3Would you say the same on the hours in a day?
4Can Takanuva change the color of his armor? Can he change the Grey of his armor and mask back to gold? Would he use up light energy?5Since an Av-Matoran can change their own colors, would you say a Toa of Light (having more control over light) could change other beings or objects colors?6Could a Toa of Light become invisible by bending the light so it doesnt hit their body? (visibility is caused by light reflecting off of a person or object, so light bending around the person would cause them to become invisible).
7Is it possible that there are other "Universes" on the same level as the Matoran Universe that doesn't have Matoran?

1Well one of my friends wants to know if Mata Nui (Great Spirit) is the planet?
1hi, Mr. Farshtey. In "The Kingdom", if Mata Nui is dead, why does everyone still exist? i thought that if he died, the universe would die with him
1by universe they meen the places in the Domes
1Hi Mr. Farshtey, just some questions:
2In Into The Darkness, Karzahni was fighting Teridax, then Karzahni used his mask to thrust a vision in Teridax mind about Mata Nui´s awekening and then Makuta screamed.
3So, he screamed because he was really scared of Mata Nui´s Revenge and because his plan failed, (it says on Biosector 01 and in the OGD that if The plan fails Teridax will die instantly at the hands of Mata Nui) Right?
4a) Or did he just pretended to scream?
5b) If so, for what reason?
6Thanks for your time!

1Okay, Greg, here's a few questions about my favorite Onu-Matoran:
21. What is Nuparu planning to do with the Exo-Toa parts he smuggled into Metru-Nui, if he remembered he still had them?
32. What would you say Nuparu's blade looks like? Is it somewhat like Hewkii's blade-staff, or more like a sword? 42a. How does he hold it when he has both a Cordak Blaster and a shield? Does he holster one of the two Toa Tools on his back when not in use? Did he have enough time to shoulder-mount the Cordak Blaster, or did it never occur to him, with such a vital mission at hand?
5-Rabin

11) Does Mata Nui wear a mask?
22) Why would only Mata Nui (island) need to be cleansed by the Bohrok?
33) The Glatorians and other 09 sets and storyline, will they intertwine in any way with this current story?
44) When will we hear small parts of Legends 7 Invasion? 54a) Will we hear any parts of it?
65) Which Winter Glatorian sets are evil? Water, Jungle, Rock, Fire, Ice, or Earth?75a) Are the Glatorians all evil and all good in the Winter and Summer like last year or will they be Half Good and half evil like the Phantoka andMistika?
86) What happened to the thing living in the red star? Will we hear about it in 09?

1Okay, a third question:
23. Is it a coincidence that Tanma's mask looks like a non-adapted Kaukau Nuva?3Images: Gali Nuva's Kaukau, Tanma, with his mask.
4What about Photok's mask that looks like a Kakama?5Kakama, Photok

1Aanchir - Yes
2Tanaku - 1) Most likely, there is, but it not something we have ever dealt with. 2-3) Again, not something we have dealt with. No official system of time was ever established for BIONICLE. 4) Takanuva could do that, yes, but changing the way your eye perceives light, as the Av-Matoran do. 5) Probably. 6) Arguably, a Toa of Light should be able to go invisible, but we don't allow him to because it makes him too powerful. 7) No. There are no other domed universes on this planet.
3Toamiru4 - I am not allowed to discuss the nature of Mata Nui, other than to say he will be revealed at the end of 2008.
4Toa Tom - The universe inside the domes, yes. But they are not inside, they are outside.
5Toavic - 1) Imagine seeing your own agonizing death in living color -- how do you think you would react?
6Rabin - I believe I answered these for you elsewhere?
7MNT - 1) There's no evidence to say he does. 2) Well, we know Mata Nui changed radically from what it was originally -- it had no trees before, etc. So the Bohrok's job is to make it look like it did before. 3) I can't discuss 2009. 4) You won't. The only interest I have heard expressed in the story online is if it gets finished, and I have no time to finish it. Working on it would take time away from 2009 projects that are on dealine. 5) Can't answer it. 6) No plans to deal with that in 2009, no, that is a further down the road thing.
8MegaToaX - We just didn't. Didn't end up being a setting for main story.
9Rabin - 3) Yes, it is.

6Anyway, two new questions:
71) I recently saw a BIONICLE display in a Target store featuring Rockoh, Gali Mistika, and Krika. On the bottom was a bannerlike graphic showing Rockoh's action features. On the wing-folding feature, it said "Raise and lower the rockslide cannons," presumably in reference to the red laser-cannon on each moveable wing. Is "rockslide cannon" the official name for these wing-mounted blasters?
82) Do you write the info for these displays, or is that a set designer/marketing thing?
9Thanks in advance.
1Deimos - 1) I can't discuss the 2009 location -- but I can point out that there is no reason to believe there is any other land on the BIONICLE planet other than the island of Mata Nui.
2Aanchir - 1) I don't know, I'd have to go back and check. 2) No, I don't. The marketers write that copy, same as they do any copy on packages.

7thank you for your time, MN tracker
1MNT - 1) Who said he did? Makuta attacked Mata Nui with a virus long before the events of Legends of Metru Nui.22) Follow the story and find out33) Yes44) They obviously have minds, but whether their brains are organic, bio-mechanical or something else has not been revealed55) No, mind control itself is not a Makuta power, I don't believe. They can, however, use kraata to infect masks, and so put the person wearing the mask under their influence.
