Is Takanuva white and gold or If you had to drop one Toa from the current six Toa we have, who would it be? If you had to add ONE and ONLY ONE Toa to G2 from G1, who would it be? If you had to remove an element, which would it be? If you had to add one element that isn't already in G2, which would it be? If you went to sleep and had an island paradise sprout up over your face, how would you react? If you were in charge of Generation 3, what would you do with it? If your mask was alive, what would you think of it? If bonkles were edible, what flavours would they be? If the Hero Factory build a Hero Factory on Okoto, how would everyone react to the revelation that HF = G2? It is not too late to answer question, for you are the MASTER OF... which element? How advanced is Okoto in your minds? What if the Ancient City is abandoned because it was swarmed by clowns? Not just any clowns, mind you. Evil clowns. Evil, scary, horrifying terrifying abominations called clowns. One day, you are walking along to the bonkle store. You stop in your tracks as you see that the much-anticipated and hyped-up spring 2016 wave of bonkles has come to the stores. It is a clown-themed wave. How do you react? The Protectors have a dark secret. What is this dark secret? In your house, your bonkles have starting looking at you. Every time you look at them, their heads are staring straight at you. Their heads move to face you when you move. Whenever you go to sleep and then wake up later, their arms are outstretched towards you, weapons aimed at you. What happens?

What's your favourite CCBS 'torso' shell? (2.0, Breakout, Brain Attack, Hulk et cetera) What's your favourite CCBS shell attachment? (Ordeal of Fire Fire piece, round + square breakout attachment pieces, bonkle piston piece et cetera) What;s your favourite CCBS head? (2.0, Brain Attack, Bonkle) What's your favourite CCBS weapon? What's your favourite CCBS miscellaneous piece? (technic beam with ball joint, friction extender, et cetera pieces like that don't fit anywhere else) What recolours of pieces would you like to see in 2016 and beyond? What new pieces would you like to see in 2016 and beyond? 1. I for one like the Brain Attack torso the best. 2. I like the piston attachment. 3. I like the Brain Attack head. 4. That sword piece, if generic and overused. 5. Technic beam with ball joint. Friction extenders break way too easily for their intended purpose IMO. 6. The Brain Attack colour in something other than silver or gunmetal. 7. I don't know I lack the imagination and creativity to design new parts, but a double ball-joint in the style of the CCBS double y-joint would be nice although you can pretty much already replicate that with a 5-length axle and three of those ball joints with an axle hole in the middle. Instead I'm going to say a more durable friction extender.

Ever since I acquired Lord of Skull Spiders, my position on functions has been reversing. I think they're great and would like to see a wider variety of them. This has also made me realise I've probably been a bit harsh on Skull Scorpio, although we'll have to wait and see how well its function works and how many parts it has. Skull Scorpio has got to be one of the most unique sets at its price point in quite a while, IMO. Although I'd agree about the legs, we'll have to wait and see the price point and piece count - that'll have to be taken into account. It would appear that every BIONICLE set is now to have a function: either gears, crushing, bashing, or the tail thing. I don't think functions are a bad thing any more - I think they're something that some sets have sorely needed to help set them apart from other sets. 1. Do you want more functions? 2. What is your opinion regarding functions?

Which is your favourite Skull Skeleton? Which transparent colour do you prefer? What do you think of the gold+transparent blends of the masks? Why do you think Tahu and Gali don't have any? Skull Scorpio sucks? Do you think we'll get a Makuta set next year?

I was thinking about CCBS - wondering what you thought about parts of it specifically. Mostly open-ended I believe, so no poll for this. Why do you like/dislike CCBS? If you like CCBS, what's your favourite CCBS piece? What CCBS piece would you like to see? How well do you feel CCBS has been used for impulse (small) sets? (e.g. Protectors, heroes in the first year of CCBS) How well do you feel CCBS has been used for medium (smaller end) sets? (e.g. Lewa, Gali. Pohatu, HF Fire Villains) How well do you feel CCBS has been used for medium (larger end) sets? (e.g. Tahu, Kopaka, Onua, Stormer XL, Furno XL, Splitter Beast - like the smaller end, but generally incorporates a bit more technic and pieces, but not as much as large sets.) How well do you feel CCBS has been used for large sets? (e.g. Witch Doctor, Black Phantom, Dragon Bolt, Evo XL) Do you feel CCBS is right for Generation Two of BIONICLE? If not, please explain. What is your opinion on the return of the gear function? Does it work? Should CCBS now aim to include it in as many sets as possible where appropriate? What's your favourite CCBS foot piece? (Hero feet, small beast feet, large beast feet, XL feet, that's all four of them I think) What's your favourite CCBS weapon piece? Would you like to see CCBS be the 'main' system for constraction figures, like system is non-constraction LEGO? How does CCBS compare to the G1 BIONICLE's system in your opinion? How do you feel about the sometimes exposed balljoints CCBS leaves behind? How would you improve CCBS?

I'm curious to see what people think: Is it better to stick with a core group of characters (HF) for the entire duration of a theme, or is it better to constantly introduce new characters almost constantly (G1 BIONICLE)? What do you hope G2 BIONICLE does in terms of characters?

I have no idea which colour looks better Maybe this will do? A little more orange... no, too orange and too common. Perhaps something more like this? Too easy to mistake for brown. Alternatively, there's this... I think this is too yellow. Yellow isn't exactly a pleasant colour. Yeah, so how about thIIISS NO. TOO EYE-SEARING. Maybe this instead, if it weren't so bright? If it were a bit darker... No, wait. This is where we started. I guess that was pointless. And that's why I use whatever this colour is. Hey, BZP. How do we invent more colours? I imagine you're getting tired of all those overused BIONICLE colours, like RED and GREEN and BLUE and BROWN and BLACK and WHITE and GREY. Grey especially during 2008, and also silver. I forgot what I wanted to make this blog entry about, so I'll just leave some questions for BZPower below as usual: What is your favourite colour? Least favourite colour? Favourite combination of colours? Least favourite combination of colours? Most overused colour? Most underused colour? Darker colours or brighter colours? Apologies to the colourblind and also to anyone who does not like colours.

UPDATE: ALL QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this finished guide to attaching almost any Bionicle/HF head to any Bionicle/HF torso! How to attach (almost) any Bionicle head to any Bionicle/HF torso Mata heads to... Metru or Inika torsos: Use a 3-stud-long axle with a Technic ball (preferably the type with the axle hole on only one side). Alternate Inika torso solution if you need the head to stick out a bit more. This removes compatibility with axle masks, though.CCBS torsos: Best answer. Alternative solution that requires no building on torso. To prevent the head from coming off the T-nozzle, you can use a 2-stud-long axle & this piece in place of the T-nozzle. (Stick the axle in the eyestalk.) This makes the head a bit taller, though.Metru heads to... Mata torsos: Best answer.CCBS torsos: Best answer. Alternative CCBS solution for hunchbacks or long-chin masks.Inika heads to... Mata torsos: Attach a 2-stud-long axle & this piece to the Inika head piece. Then replace the Mata torso's neck axle with a Technic ball + 2-stud-long axle. Alternatively, you can use attach the Inika head piece to a BA head with a 2-stud-long axle if you don't have any of the special Y-joint-similar connector. If you happen to lack any of those as well,CCBS torsos: Attach a 2-stud-long axle & this piece to the Inika head piece. Alternatively, you can use attach the Inika head piece to a BA head with a 2-stud-long axle if you don't have any of the special Y-joint-similar connector.Av-Matoran, Glatorian, 2013 Brain Attack, or 2015 Reboot heads to... Mata torsos: Just use a 2-stud-length axle & a Technic ball.Metru or Inika torsos: Just swap out the Y-joint with a standard Glatorian neck. Questions you may have involving masks, heads, and torsos: Can any of the Metru eyestalks fit in the new 2015 heads or vice versa? Nope. What does an Inika head piece look like when attached to an Av-Matoran, Glatorian, or 2013 Brain Attack head? It looks ridiculous, except on the Brain Attack head, which looks ok when attached to the front of the head. Here are some pictures: On an Av-Matoran head. (with mask.) On a Glatorian head. (with mask.) On a 2013 BA head. (on top) (on front) Are the 2015 masks backwards compatible? How about vice-versa? Yes, the 2015 masks can attach to the axle holes on the sides of a 2013 Brain Attack head. It can also attach to Y-joints and other things with axle or minifigure bar holes on each side of a 2-stud-long area. It cannot attach to a Glatorian head without looking silly (because of the small bumps next to the axle holes that are on the sides of the head's jaw), and it cannot attach to an Av-Matoran head. OLD POST: I've been wondering lately about whether or not certain connections are possible, and also what is the best way of attaching this head to that torso. So I need your help in answering these questions... The question list will be constantly updated as questions are answered. If a question has been answered but you have a better solution than the one provided, please let me know! I'm on a quest to discover the absolute best techniques for Bionicle & HF cross-compatibility. Fully answered questions shown in grey. Questions that could still possibly have a better answer are shown in dark blue. Can an Inika head be attached to the a 2013 Brain Attack head? Also, can it be attached to an Av-Matoran head or Glatorian head? How does it look on both? ANSWERED: It can, but it only looks decent on the Brain Attack head. Is there any way to attach the 2015 masks to an Av-Matoran head? ANSWERED: Nope. What is the best way to attach a Mata head to an Inika & CCBS torso? Best answer for Inika torso: use a 3-stud-long axle with a Technic ball (preferably the type with the axle hole on only one side). Alternate Inika torso solution if you need the head to stick out a bit more. This removes compatibility with axle masks, though. Best answer for CCBS so far. Alternative CCBS solution that requires no building on torso. To prevent the head from coming off the T-nozzle, you can use a 2-stud-long axle & this piece in place of the T-nozzle. (Stick the axle in the eyestalk.) This makes the head a bit taller, though. If you have a better solution, please let me know! What is the best way to attach a Metru head to a Mata & CCBS torso? Best answer for Mata torsos so far. Best answer for CCBS so far. Alternative CCBS solution for hunchbacks or long-chin masks. Do you have a better solution? What is the best way to attach an Inika head to a Mata & CCBS torso? ANSWERED: For CCBS, attach a 2-stud-long axle & this piece to the Inika head. For Mata torsos, use the same technique for the Inika head and use a 2-stud-long axle & Technic ball on the Mata torso in place of the neck axle. What is the best way to attach a 2013 Brain Attack head to a Mata & Inika torso? ANSWERED: For Mata torsos, just use a 2-stud-length axle & a Technic ball. For Inika torsos, just swap out the Y-joint with a standard Glatorian neck. Can either of the old Metru eyestalks fit in the new heads? ANSWERED: Nope. Can the new 2015 eyestalks fit in the Metru head? ANSWERED: Nope. Can someone show me a picture of an Inika head piece attached to the top of a Brain Attack, Glatorian, and Av-Matoran head? ANSWERED: On an Av-Matoran head. (with mask.) On a Glatorian head. (with mask.) On a 2013 BA head. (on top) (on front)

More questions for the good people of BZPower, after the reception of the last entry. About games still, more about what people think. How long should a game keep you entertained for? What genre are you fond of? What makes a game for you specifically? What breaks a game for you specifically? How much of an impact does appropriate music have? How much of an impact does a well-done atmosphere have? How much of an impact does difficulty have? User-created characters or pre-established characters? Linear, non-linear, or a mix of both? What's the most entertaining set of mechanics you have come across within a game? Bonus: What's the most hilarious bug you've encountered? Bonus #2: Heroic Acts, Neutral Approaches or Villainous Plots?

What should we call the new Toa? We can't just call them Toa, since that will add confusion. The BS01 just archives the real--I mean the old Toa into gen 1 page, and utilizes the names of the Toa for the reboot. I suggest we leave the old pages in their proper place, and call the reboot Toa the Toa Okoto. Any other suggestions will be appreciated though. Who has ideas?

Well, I actually haven't seen one of these in the blogs in a long while. I guess they fell out of popularity. But anyway, I decided to make another one for my blog. Go ahead and ask me anything, and I'll answer it. Though don't be surprised if it takes me awhile to answer it, since my work hours can be long. So, ask away!

I'll be chatting with Greg Farshtey soon. The purpose of this topic is to gather a number of good questions from you all so that he may answer them. This is your chance to grill the writer for an answer you have wanted to know for months (feels like years really ).Rules: Try to limit your questions to 1 or 2 each. If it's a long question, limit it to 1.BIONICLE-related questions only. I can always ask him about Ninjago or Hero Factory another time.I will be filtering out questions, mostly because of the next two rules.Research your question before posting it. I don't want to see questions that have already been answered before in the OGD.Do not ask for canonization of certain things, except for Matoran/Toa/Turaga Elements. Whether this means new prefixes or asking Greg to maybe, just MAYBE, create a new element. It won't be that easy though. You'll have to absolutely work for it. Use quotes from the old OGD topics and logic to prove your points. Chances are Greg will instantly say no to any of this, so do not be surprised if you don't like what you get back. I can always use this opportunity to confirm that there are only 15 natural Toa Elements. We all know how excited we can get when it comes to Toa Elements lol This is more complicated than I thought. Still looking into this.Any question is fair game, whether they are referring to past or future story line.Examples of Questions:Bad: What is Podu's destiny? Is there another Toa of Light now? Can you canonize this Dark Hunter please?Good: Can you finally reveal what substance is used to create Bohrok-Kal? What happened to the Shadowed One after he discovered the virus and killed Ancient?Please understand that not all questions may be answered in this chat with Greg. Any questions not answered addressed by Greg will be saved for the next time I can have a conversation with him.

There are some questions that I'm yet to have answers to in the Bionicle story. 1.What is the average lifespan of a matoran? (Would the matoran be considered the "children" of Bionicle?) 2.What would happen if Takunuva removed his mask? 3.What parts of the anatomy of an average Bionicle character be living or machanical? Do they have living brains or A.I. ? -
I have a question for all of you in the blogosphere. I've got an idea to count down on all of my favorite Sonic the Hedgehog final boss songs from the main series (No Advance, Rush, etc.). Now, I get a feeling that many people here dislike Sonic the Hedgehog, and love mocking the games, characters, and even fans. Yes, it's true the games struggled in quality from the 2000s onwards, but I have a feeling that Sonic has been making a comeback as of late (I don't believe any of the reviewers on Lost World, as game footage of it makes it seem extremely fun). Plus, if it's one thing a lot of people love, it's music, and I feel that Sonic games as a whole have awesome soundtracks. So I'd love to maybe introduce some new songs to you guys from an underrated series. And who knows? Some of you guys might disagree with my thoughts. Anyways, that's the gist of things. I'd appreciate it if you guys gave me some feedback.

Chatted with Greg Farshtey today. Many questions from this topic were not answered because: 1) I only had an hour and a half with him, 2) there were followup questions, 3) some are being saved for next time, 4) Greg simply does not remember the answer.Please use spoiler tags when discussing the answers to ANY of the questions below.Questions - Text UnderlinedAnswers - Text Grayed Spoiler tags, use them: [spoiler]text[/spoiler]

I was writing a response in another topic when it hit me. We don't really know anything about the Great Beings beside their names and some of their actions. We don't know their powers, appearance, limitations.So I began thinking. What are the Great Beings? We know they can't be gods because they have made major mistakes they were unable to fix. We know they have some power because they created Spherus Magna. Or do we?This is what really hit me. What if the Great Beings are the LEGO designer's themselves? It would make sense, as the Great Beings were unable to fix certain things, such as Spherus Magna before it broke or the first giant robot.There are some problems with this theory, such as the fact that the Designers had full control over BIONICLE while the Great Beings did not, but things like that can be easily bypassed.Another theory is that the Great Beings could simply be Toa-like beings wearing Masks of Creation. This would explain how they failed to fix certain problems, such as Spherus Magna and the Core War. It would also explain why the Battera and Marendar exist, because the beings may not think of themselves powerful enough to stop all the Toa.Those are my two theories. They may or may not be true. We may never know

I have some questions about the Brotherhood of Makuta for the Memoirs of the Dead entry that I'm writing. 1) When did Teridax take over (how many years since the MU was created)?2) The Makuta were created as biomechanical beings from non-sentient liquid antidermis, and eventually reverted back to their original liquid form, correct?3) Were they created by Mata Nui, or the Great Beings?4) When Teridax presented his plan to the rest of the Brotherhood, what made them follow it? What was in it for them?5) When were they first assigned regions (how many years since the MU was created)?6) When did Spiriah leave (how many years since the MU was created)?7) When did they abandon their inner light?8) Why did they abandon their inner light?9) How did they abandon their inner light?10) Are the Makuta programmed like the Matoran? If they aren't, were they before they became antidermis?11) Do the Makuta directly control Kraata, Rahkshi, and wearers of Infected Kanohi, or are they just the Makuta's slaves?12) Did the Makuta create Rahi from Viruses and liquid protodermis, or energized protodermis?13) When the Makuta became antidermis, did the armor they wore at the time become antidermis too, or just their mechanical and organic parts?14) Are the pre-antidermis Makuta basically masses of Kraata with mechanical parts and armor?15) How big are Makuta before they start absorbing things?

Since everybody else is doing it, I guess I might as well do one of these things despite less than 0.05% of BZPers knowing who I am. Ask me any question, and I will answer as best as I can.

1. How does the Mask of Life communicate telepathically, as it has been shown to do? Can a user of this mask access this power?2. Can Mata Nui actively communicate with the Mask of Life's mind? If so, could he use the Mask to communicate telepathically, or would he have to convince the Mask's mind to send the message?3. If some Toa, possibly insane, decided to try to wear the Mask of Life, what would happen to them now?

Does anyone know the name of those air tubes that are part of the Mahri sets as featured on Bricklink? All the parts they feature have some weird name that I couldn't have guessed.Could someone tell me their fancy names so I could search them and not have to wade through a million other parts on the site? My Mahri get their hoses shredded by a parrot.

Sooooooo, think about these questions, and answer them: [*]If Ben Franklin was killed, would he have been important enough in U.S.A. history to be concidered "assassinated"?[*]If you could have 1 free day (NOT A WEEKEND) to do anything you wanted, would you rather, a) go to Disneyland, or http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png, LEGOLAND?[*]If Vegitable Oil is made from vegitables, and apple juice is made from apples, what is baby powder made from?[*]Since water is H2O, why doesn't it light on fire, since fire needs oxygen, and hydrogen is flammable?

There may have been a topic like this on the old forum, but I can't recall having read anything. See, I'm seriously confused about the Makuta (The Species) at the moment and I'd appreciate if a couple things were cleared up for me.See, the Makuta are ridiculously powerful beings, right? But I don't think you all realize exactly how powerful they are. Sure, you've got your big list right here, and already that's pretty darn hyped up, but then I'd also ask you to think about the key element in that: all 42 Kraata powers. So...when you say powerful, you mean, everything shown here powerful. (Assuming they'd have access to the highest level of Kraata power, and if they don't, take your pick from the different power levels there, my point basically still stands) So...stack all those on top of the other powers in the first link and you basically have a god. With next to unlimited powers.So...now, thinking about that god here, look at the list shown here, and count the full twelve Makuta that were battle ready since the Great Cataclysm at an absolute minimum. So, now we're talking about twelve (probably more), invincible gods with unlimited powers just wandering around the universe.Now hold that last thought, and think about the Destiny War, and the Karda-Nui saga. (don't bring up the three Mistika Makuta's powers being locked away, that proves nothing against the point in the big picture) Where the Makuta actually lose. The eight makuta in Karda Nui get beaten by an inferior number of inferior matched Toa, plus every other Makuta in the 'verse is killed by some other means by people less powerful than them. My question to you is, how on earth could the Makuta lose like this?Need something more to put this whole thing into perspective? Okay, Remember the Bohrok-Kal, who were all, y'know, insanely powerful Bohrok that could match the most powerful Toa in the universe in numbers and then spank them brutally? Even if the Toa Nuva had their powers, you gotta admit that it looks like the fight would be a pretty even match with the powers the Kal were packing. Each one of those guys is a fraction of the power a Makuta has. (The Bohrok Kal powers are on the list up there) 1/42 if your looking at the small picture. The Rahkshi, who were also pretty close to invincible back in 2003? Yeah, well, there's another 1/42th of the power of a Makuta per Rahkshi right there. So when you really think about the fact that there's a bare minimum of 12 guys in the universe with an unspeakable amount of power, one should think that the Toa Nuva in Karda Nui would have been crushed in their first five minutes of fighting, and by extension the universe itself could have been conquered basically whenever the Makuta wanted it to be, am I right?So, basically, I'm just asking all of you guys, is it really just how I'm making it out to be, or is there another reason the Makuta lost that I might be missing? Thoughts, comments? If this whole thing doesn't make sense to you, it's my fault, because I'm bad at getting my thoughts out like this sensically, so just let me know if this is the case. -
I actually took the time to give this entry a category! *gasp* Anyways, ask me, a Dalek, whatever you want to. That is, anything BZP appropriate... So, ask away! =l
