BIONICLE 2010
• Takanuva changes weapons for 2010.
• Nektann allies with Teridax because he respects power. • "[T]he Skrall are still active on Bara Magna, and when they spot Glatorian under attack by invaders, they join in because they hate Glatorian. They aren't working for Makuta, they are simply taking advantage of their enemies being vulnerable."
BARA MAGNA
• The Skrall did not hold any Zesk in captivity.
• Zesk do not have their own pack leaders as th

Happy Halloween!
STAGE STORY
• The other Makuta knew that Teridax would become the Great Spirit, and he promised that they would be his avatars in the universe.
• Having taken over Mata Nui's body, Makuta does have the potential to be omniscient, but he is still a non-Great Spirit mind in a Great Spirit body. So he is not USED to being omniscient, and that is a weakness the Toa may be able to exploit.
• In Mata Nui's body, Teridax still has the powers he had while

I got around to finishing MLN this morning, which is good.
Oh, one request: I'm looking for a symbol I can use mark important facts, instead of just • . One's I've tested look dorky. So if you have a suggestion, you can copy/paste it into a post.
BARA MAGNA
• Atero is really only used by Glatorian once a year, for the big tournament.
• There are usually three preliminary rounds before the main tournament in Atero. They aren't elimination rounds; they are more

BARA MAGNA
• Before the disaster, Glatorian were soldiers.
• Greg, on the Glatorian population: "[There are] not a ton. I don't know that I would attach a definite number to it, as there are always old ones dying off and new ones coming into the profession. On Bara Magna, though, you are probably talking less than a hundred, easy.
• The Glatorian have fighting skills from their military training and from their training with each other. • We have seen the actual sol

So, this is my plan for the KanohiJournal contest.
Trying not to sound too pretentious, I consider this version of Nuparu's aqua blaster blade to be the solution to a problem.
Nuparu’s aqua blaster blade is mentioned and seen in action in the books, and, if you want to be particular, is therefore considered part of the canon storyline. Here’s the thing. The weapon is only mentioned in the books because the prototype Nuparu set that G

Remember
CORE WAR
• There is likely some structure which belonged to the Element Lord of Water that still exists beneath the sea on Aqua Magna, possibly having been discovered by escaped Pit inmates by now.
• Greg would say an Element Lord is a good two times as powerful as a Toa. • Skopio were not employed in the Core War, since they cannot be tamed.
SPHERUS MAGNA
• Sahmad's tribe lived in the forested region of Bota Magna.
• The Skrall's original homeland
Friday, May 15, 2009
GLATORIAN
• Greg: "Strakk's attitude is a lot closer to the typical Glatorian than, say, Gresh's is. Some Glatorian, like Vastus, are motivated by the need to make up for their past, some, like Tarix, by love of their village, but most in general are in it for the shelter, the food, the equipment -- those are things you can't do without in a desert, and at some point, you will be too old to make a living as a Glatorian, so you have to get it while you can."
• Vastus's re

GENERAL
• Mata Nui's story will be wrapped up by March 2010. Lego intends for the Bionicle story to continue at least through to the end of 2011.
• The other Toa Nuva make it out of Teridax's body as well.
• Takanuva appears white and grey in 2010 because he is using his power over light to assume a less visible coloration. • Lein died of natural causes long before the Core War. He was long dead by the time a battle during the Core War was fought at Lein's Drift.

The mods were on a tyrade last week about how the OGD should be a place for concise discussion and posting dialogues with Greg. Then they disappeared, and now we're in a bad spell of people making totally extraneous posts. What up wit that?
BARA MAGNA
• Elemental affiliations in 2009 are based on geography, but tribes are still referred to as the fire tribe, the water tribe, etc.
• Like any desert, the surface of Bara Magna has oases and other such areas.
• Th
The Lehvak were the swamp Bohrok, one of the six breeds of Bohrok swarm. Their head-plates housed red Krana, which were telepathically directed by the Bahrag.
History
The Great Beings created the Bohrok machines 100,000 years ago, placing them under the guidance of the Bahrag queens. The Bohrok's purpose was to scour clean the outer surface of the earthen dome housing Metru Nui and its silver sea, which protruded out of the ocean of water on the planet surface like a large island, should

GENERAL
• Exactly what Mata Nui's original mission is gets revealed next year.
• The Kanohi Dragon was created by a Makuta. Miserix did not create it.
• On the Matoran universe: "You have to keep in mind that the beings who consider it a universe are the ones who live in it. Basically, Mata Nui is giant robot with millions of nanotech beings inside of him and various mechanical "organs." So in that sense, you could even argue he is more like a synthezoid, a livin
Friday, May 22, 2009
BARA MAGNA
• The Great Beings once held a position of power on Spherus Magna, up to the Core War and during it.
• Greg hints that it is possible that the Great Beings would not refer to each other as "Great Beings" or their giant robot as the "Great Spirit."
• Prior to the Shattering, many Agori and Glatorian had been outside of Bara Magna. Most are not native to Bara Magna. • Greg, on the Vorox's anomalous tails: "Ah, but who is to say they aren't the same species as G

Terminator: SCC is getting really intense; they built up a lot of plot this season that makes for great drama now. I'm proud of that show.
BARA MAGNA
• Mata Nui has a mask, which he does not know well how to use, since he has never worn a mask before. And while the mask's powers COULD be used to kill all the Skrall, Mata Nui would not do that anymore than a Toa would. Mata Nui is a champion of life and light and does not kill his enemies.
• Gelu did not retire becau

BARA MAGNA
• No one living on Bara Magna would refer to it as "planet Bara Magna," analogous to the fact that no one living in California would refer to it as "planet California" were it to break off into space.
• Bone Hunters are physically stronger than Agori.
• Greg, on the relationship between the Skrall and Glatorian species: "All part of overall the same species, in the same way humans and other animals are primates." • Thornax do not grow outside of the Bara Magn

And this week's scoop is...
Nothing.
That's right, nothing. Some words of advice for OGD posters: don't try to resolve a string of off-topic posts by contributing to it. All you need to do is ignore it, and it will go away. I promise.
Well, there is one set of Q&A that Jolly Christmas Giratina kindly sent me, condensed here.

• Not all of the Takanuva at

ATTENTION: There will be NO Farshtey Feed entry next Friday. The Feed should resume the next Friday.
SPHERUS MAGNA
• Greg: "Spherus Magna broke up into three pieces. Since the desert known as Bara Magna makes up the largest portion of this chunk, the residents of that chunk call the entire place Bara Magna. Outside of the mountains to the north, there really isn't a lot there besides the desert." • The GBs knew what was going to happen to the planet as a result of the

BARA MAGNA
• Skrall may be assigned to hard labor jobs that the Rock Agori are unable to fulfill.
• Telluris is now mad because he saw his entire village basically wiped out and no one came to help.
• Sahmad was always in possession of the Baranus V7 and Spikit. • Greg would not say that Ackar and Malum were close friends, just colleagues.
• On the likelihood of Strakk's banishment: "It would make sense that he would be. The alternative is no one will accept Ico
Friday, July 10, 2009
BARA MAGNA
• The Great Beings would have genetically modified the Vorox and Zesk simply for the sake of research.
• There is a vehicle division in the Great Tournament. Pilots in vehicles fight other pilots with vehicles; they don't fight Glatorian or Agori without vehicles.
• Greg's reason that Strakk has never won a tournament: "People who habitually cheat tend not to work as hard at building up their skills as people who do not." • On Gelu's heartless persona: "I th

Just recently I -- with assistance from my dad -- was able to set up a couple of back-to-back shelving units to display my Bionicle collection.

The OGD was going along extraordinarily slow this this week. I wonder why that is?
GENERAL
• A Mohtrek user can summon a past self that does not wear a Mohtrek.
• If the Vahi or the Ignika is outside the universe, it could not affect the universe, but it is only keyed to affect that universe, so its destruction would not affect the world beyond the Matoran universe. It's like a self-destruct switch on a spaceship -- take it off the ship and flip it and it won't

BARA MAGNA
• The Element Lord of Water has the ability to project his consciousness into any body of water.
• On the Element Lords: "I don't see them as insane, as that would mean they could not tell the difference between right and wrong. And I don't really see them as evil ... for all we know, the one who won the war might have made life wonderful for all the Agori. I think they are ambitious, power-hungry, often callous and reckless, but those don't add up to evil.

It's a big one, complete with an entire "Core War" section.
GLATORIAN
• On Kiina's personality: "Brash. Energetic. Impatient. Loyal. Caring. Stubborn."
• Gelu was aware that he had the potential to make First Glatorian but had no interest in the job. There is more money to be made as an escort than as a First Glatorian.
• Iconox gets Gelu's preference if he has more than one client for his services. Most of the work he does is for them anyway, because they are shi

GENERAL
• "[Raanu] doesn't really want [Glatorian] around when it's not necessary. It's kinda like having a house filled with pit bulls. You feel safe, but you know that you can get hurt really bad if you tick 'em off."
• The Bionicle Stars characters are canon, and the blue Skakdi is not Vezok. • The maze map seen at the end of The Legend Reborn plays a part in the transition story between 2009 and 2010. Teridax appears in the November comic.
• The Mata Nui protot
