  1. No, it is confirmed that he survived the battle with Mata Nui and is now wandering alone.
  2. The idea of the Takanuva's blog as a kind of social media gets even worse when you look at specific examples, such as when a chapter ended right as a mysterious orange being he didn't know and assumed was an enemy suddenly began flying towards him. If the blog's existence as a journal or something is considered canon, then he chose some very inconvenient times to write in it.
  3. Yeah, as Bonesii will probably point out once he shows up, there's an infamous quote from Greg that goes something like "Real-life physics only applies in Bionicle when I want it to." This means that ANY discrepancies like this one can instantly be explained away.
  4. PLEASE look things up on BS01 before asking questions. As for the answer: two Makuta are still alive in the "main" universe. An alternate Teridax from another universe, and Miserix.
  5. You haven't seen a Toa Nui because even though they have been confirmed to exist, none of the inhabitants of the MU know this.
  6. Wait, um, regarding exact wording: Kaita are NOT "three or more". They are exactly three. Six is a Nui, and there is no current knowledge which would give evidence of combinations of four or five toa existing. Just saying this because it appears you are under the impression that any number of Toa above 2 can combine, which is incorrect to our current knowledge.
  7. I almost proposed that the Barraki might join TSO's new army, seeing as we know nothing about what they're doing, but on the other hand they're probably seeking revenge against him for his "betrayal".
  8. So, so cruel. I thought it was real and the date was a coincidence, and that only some of the answers were jokes, but then I saw everyone else's responses. Krakalin...
  9. That, and "all out" would just be using multiple powers in rapid succession. If they can't use multiple ones at the same time, which they can't, it drastically lowers the "maximum power" they could theoretically achieve.
  10. Regarding the "Greater than Great Beings" mentioned in Bonesii's post with all the Greg quotes: I thought we knew about those for some time now? If I remember correctly, they are called "Greater Spirits", or something that involves the word spirit, and the Matoran revere them but not as actively. On the other hand, if they were that important and well-known, I probably would've seen more recent mention of them, so I probably just read someone's theory and assumed it was fact, as I have done that before. Never mind.
  11. Same. I don't remember my reaction when I found out; I only know that I never guessed it before. I also remember that I was annoyed with one friend because I told him everything as soon as I found out about it. He was like "yeah, whatever", ignored me, and started talking about something else. Two days later, he comes up to me, "Whoa, Mata Nui's a giant robot!"
  12. Mind=blown.In all seriousness, the topic of time paradoxes is so complex, and there are so many different theories about it, that saying any one thing would happen is impossible. The Vahi's powers don't really make sense in the first place (The idea that time disruption would happen, but would be contained inside of physical walls as defined by the boundaries of a robot. What if someone modified the MU to make it bigger, added more stomach pouches or something? Would the new areas be affected by the loss of the Vahi? And what about now, with gaping holes in the robot? It doesn't make sense that one could literally step across and back over a line and by doing so immerse and un-immerse themselves in temporal entropy. Maybe the MU is a "universe" more so than we thought? Or it could be Greg's "real world physics only applies in Bionicle when I want it to" at work again, although this isn't really physics of that kind...), and in the end you either have one of two options: 1. Bonesii is correct and the Vahi is simultaneously a temporal artifact AND also just another "thing", for lack of a better word, that gets thrown about in the time-travel mayhem that would be caused by its own destruction.Or 2. The Vahi is in fact a sacred artifact spreading its influence across all dimensions/universes, and it is so powerful that it cannot safely be destroyed in ANY universe, and doing so would... idk, so much gobbledegook that the result is probably dependent on your/Greg's/the Great Beings' religion (assuming they don't see themselves as gods), which obviously we're not discussing. This theory has the problem of saying that there is only ONE Vahi in all continuities, which means either no other alternate reality has a Vahi, or the one Vahi exists in all of them at all times, which obviously it didn't in the "Prime" reality.And then I should go off on another line about how regardless of which theory you subscribe to, the Vahi by definition both is and isn't EVERYTHING, which of course supports the original theory that it is the "Master of Dimensions" (ooh, what if Olmaks... No, too much stuff to think about. Brain hurts), and... Well, by logic, you then have the idea that all three theories are simultaneously correct by there being multiple layers of universes/dimensions, each having an infinite number of universes within them, and in some there being a "supreme Vahi" that rules over all time, and in some there being bonesii's theory of the Vahi safely counteracting itself and branches naturally popping up that prevent a "supreme Vahi" from emerging. But THEN there comes the idea of a supreme Vahi already existing by definition and NOT existing by definition, and then the layers theory falls apart by more layers, and eventually this goes beyond Bionicle, and assuming we're still talking about a fictional universe/multiverse/multimultiverse etc where SOME artifact of time, at least, has to exist, then the Vahi merges with every other concept in every book/movie/video game, and now I'm just having way too much fun jotting down my ideas and my head hurts and basically there, again by definition, paradox, and mystery, is no definite answer. Plus I still think that the idea of the Vahi only breaking the universe inside the MU doesn't make sense, but now I'm going to stop my train of thought and hope bonesii's debate and logic skills kill everything I've just said so I don't have to worry about coming up with another argument.
  13. Sort of like Jane from the Ender's Game series, I think.
  14. Speaking of the eyes and the lids covering them, whywhywhywhyWHY did they change color when Teridax took over? There's no reasoning behind it! If it was Teridax's destiny to gain control of a robot one way or another and assist Mata Nui in reforming Spherus Magna (I haven't fully wrapped my head around this idea yet either, but that's not important), then the robot probably wouldn't have considered him "evil" and changed the eye color based on that. The only other option I can think of would be that Teridax did it himself on purpose as a way to show that he took control, but why? At the time there was no one that could see the eyes from the outside.
  15. In no particular order, Brutaka(because of his attitude both before and after returning to the light, and because of the Olmak he used to have)Vezon(Actually, there is an order for him. He's #1 because of his humor)Velika (partially because he's a GB, but also just cuz of his unique personality(though for all we know, it might be the norm among GB's))Lhikan(a great hero)Nuju(the first character I really became a fan of in any way, and the one that really got me into Bionicle)Zaktan(because of all the little secrets he knew and had)Teridax(obviously, a really epic villain and schemer)Matoro(a hero, but also a really well established character as a person(Tarix(just because of how well it was established that this is a guy who really lives for rules)Kopaka(because of his no-nonsense attitude, especially towards the other Nuva such as Pohatu)
  16. Yes, I believe that we have confirmation that Lhikan, Botar, and Hydraxon were revived. Iirc, someone asked if Greg could tell us one random person that had been revived, and he gave us three.
  17. I think the rules say it can't happen after 55,000 BTR, which is somewhere around 54,000 BGC, although I might be wrong.
  18. Agreed. Really, really, great to have so many updates coming, even if they are minor. It shows Greg is still alive, at least. Hope for more major things in the future.
  19. I think that crack in MoL was more of a sign of the poison existing inside the mask. It healed when Gali cured the poison.
  20. Technically the 2001 set isn't the "correct" form either; you have to remember that those forms were supposedly smaller than they should have been because their bodies broke down in the canisters or something (which also means that if the MoL was really making Tahu into "his original form", then the 2010 set should've been larger, but I digress).
  21. In response to Vakama-san, I'd like to say that I disagree. An alternate reality, which is the word I choose to use, generally has only one change made from the "prime" reality that makes it different in a fictional story. Matoro's personality isn't the thing that changed either; nothing changed except that Matoro made a spur of the moment decision (or rather, didn't make that decision). Nothing else needed to be different, and I believe Greg has confirmed that the alternate realities are separated by only one major change.
  22. If you think about it, the storm being raw energy doesn't necessarily make it different from other storms inside the MU. All of the "natural" storms would have been caused by the robot's programming or the direct intervention of Mata Nui/Teridax. I'm not sure how much is known about "natural" weather in the MU, but if the rest of it was all pure energy as well and that's what the Makuta power of "weather control" was, to control pure energy, then that power might very well have been what he would have used to control the Karda Nui storm.On the other hand, if it really was that simply, Mutran probably would've figured it out instantly and not died.Or he could've been insane and there was no way to control the storm.
  23. If Bionicle ended, it wouldn't surprise me if Jaller died. It would be heroic though. I suppose, though it would be very sad. For the record, it already is since he no longer has the Hannah Crab What do you mean. My picture, my profile, or Jaller himself?Oh, sorry. To clarify, I meant that since Jaller no longer has that little crab following him around, by your definition, your profile is "irrelevant".
  24. No, what it would do is make the story realistic. He's captured by Agori armed with very sharp apears who despise technology of any kind. He's all alone and no one knows exactly what happened to him. Why wouldn't he die? I predict that some other plot device related to one of the other plotlines will coincidentally find and save him just in the nick of time, but I wish for once that such a thing wouldn't happen and someone would suddenly, tragically, non-gloriously die for no reason other than chance.
  25. For the record, it already is since he no longer has the Hannah Crab
