Actually, the island of Mata Nui is part of Metru Nui's dome, so in a sense it does belong to the MU.

If the island of Mata Nui was part of the MU, it would have been destroyed with the rest of the universe in The Kingdom. Greg has said repeatedly that the Matoran Universe is everything inside the domes. It's a fact that it is not part of the MU.
From BS01:

The Matoran Universe is where the majority of the BIONICLE storyline takes place. It encompasses a huge series of underground domes, not including the surface of the planet.

That's neat about there only being six enormous lightstones. I wonder if they're the source of the light energy in the core?

Mata Nui is Metru Nui's dome. Since it is the roof of a dome, it is part of the MU.

In The Kingdom, they said that they couldn't hold the original island up much longer. Kinda means it's falling apart, then, doesn't it?

1. Hey Greg. I've noticed that there's seems to be a running theme of a connection between a Toa Team's name and a location. We've seen Toa named after where they protect (Toa Metru), where they've had their greatest adventures (Toa Mahri), or locations later named after a team (Toa Mangai). Now, given that Jovan's Toa Team had to travel to Voya Nui, may have spent time their as a Toa, and Jovan served as a Turaga of the area, could Jovan's Toa team have been named Toa Voya?

2. Would the OoMN recruit members of the Barraki's species to be members of the OoMN?

3. Is Matoro's statue in his Matoran, Toa Inika, or Toa Mahri form?

4. Would you say Jaller is the most effected by Matoro's death?

5. Seeing as they were his bodyguard for many years, did the Toa Hagah have significant interaction with Teridax, and if so, will that play a part in DiD?

6. Being the first orange set, how did Pohatu sell?


1) Wouldn't make sense. They were on Voya Nui all of 35 seconds. They didn't spend time there as a Toa team, they went to get the mask and came back to bring it back, and that's it. Remember, the VN Matoran had never seen a Toa, so obviously there wasn't a Toa team based there.
2) Yes
3) Toa Mahri
4) Jaller and probably Hahli
5) They had some, but it was about as much as a bodyguard ever has with a client -- they don't sit around and have lunch together
6) No idea, I don't have the figures on that.

Interesting...

sigh. i thought jaller and hali mostly but had some debate over jaller or matoro until my topic bionicle couples got one post: Greg has stated and restated that there is no romance in the bionilce universe. topic closed. *runs off crying then watches mask of light and breaks the tv yelling "you lied to me!" at the long goodbye part. then relize that the tv cost more than my colledge fund and the disk is still unharmed.*


wait, when did i become a turaga? now i'm some weak, yoda, old guy! i still wanna be a tohungu! (what ever that is)

we know.that was my piont.through the emoticons.

Its not a romance situation its just Ga-matoran or water toa put more feelings into things! Especially for their brothers and sisters, they knew Matoro and he was a member of their team! Jaller feels really bad because he now sees they lost a brother and a hero, and Hahli feels bad for the same reason! Jaller could also feel more responsible for it because hes the leader! It has nothing to do with romance!

i was commenting on the emoticons. but also i think it has to do with the fact that as a matoran Jaller refered to matoro as a great freind and they seemed close. but when they became toa as with all toa of ice and fire the started drifting apart. now that matoro is gone *cries* Jaller feels guilty and remorse more than the other toa due to that. also with jaller and hali or matoro and hali i noticed osmething fo rmatoro and hali people. hali cried both of the times matoro died but she didn't when jaller died.
oh and well greg denies romance but does nayone know about the original author. i do not know the situation with that, ijust noticed the other author the other day. i have the feeling he supposrted it.

Ok, Jaller was getting mad from Matoro kinda trying to take his place as the leader, he now feels bad about him dieing! Hahli was greatly upset as well when Jaller died, she had his mask and then gave it to Takanuva! It doesnt mean anything, im sure Ga-matoran/water toa get really upset when someone or someone they knew dies!
And yes I used to think there was romance after seeing bohrok videos but I guess theres not anymore!

Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!

Mata-Nui is on top of the dome, not the dome itself.. Ans the reason why it was going to collapse was probaly becasue the dome it rested upon was part of the MU, and it was affected by Mata-Nui's death, and wouldn't be able to hold all the refugees on top of it.

To quote BS01:

It is the "roof" of the dome that houses Metru Nui, and Mata Nui is directly above the City of Legends.

So, it is part of the dome itself.

EDIT: Just in from the Big G -

Hi Greg. A PM just surfaced in the OGD, saying the Avohkii was not created from a lightstone in Karda Nui. But there are thousands, if not millions, of lightstones throughout the universe. Was the Avohkii created from a lightstone at all?

Thank you for your time.

No. Keep in mind, Toa masks are made all over the universe, the vast majority not from Kanoka disks (which was the starting point for that other question). The fact that it was not made from a disk is not 1) surprising or 2) that significant.

Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!

[Vezon the Charmi...]

Hey Greg

I just have some quick questions:

1a. As a Matoran, did Krakua live in a place that we know of?

b. Did that place have any Toa?

2. It's been said that the OoMN was involved with Krakua becoming a Toa; Did Helryx create the Toa Stone that transformed Krakua?

On another note:

3. Was Lhikan's Toa armor (Metru body) based off of Dume's? It would make sense, as Toa Dume knew Matoran Lhikan.

Thanks

1) Yes
1b) No
2) I can't answer this
3) Not that I know of, Lhikan met a lot of Toa in his life.

1. A place with no Toa... Stelt or Xia, perhaps?

3. Lhikan knew a lot of Toa as a Matoran? I'm pretty sure that's new.

[E-123 Omega]

i just p.m.ed greg about makuta, and toa. but i forgot how to quote p.m.s. how do you do it?

[TheJake]

Hello, Mr.Farshtey. I have a few questions for you. Thanks for your time!

1.Did Mutran bring the materials needed to make a Klakk to Karda Nui with him?

2.If not, how did he get the materials?

Thanks again!

1) Yes, he did

[Lord Koji]

Some new stuff from Greg, the first two are kind of new it seems, well 1 ties up some loose ends sort of.

Hello sir, I have a few questions.

1. Will the Tahtorak on Zakaz plan to wipe out the Skakdi thing play a part at all? I thought Axonn or Brutaka may bring it up to Nektann when they met him...

2. Can Mazeka's Swamp Strider do anything besides walk? I mean any other modes of movement? Like can it hover or anything? The legs on the set fold up, so thats what it seemed like to me.

Non BIONICLE

3. What have been your favorite episodes of the four new series of Doctor Who for each year? Mine have been Dalek, Doomsday, Smith and Jones, Partners in Crime.

4. At the end of Journey's End, Martha and Mickey left with Jack. Would you like to see them in series 3 of Torchwood? I personally would, and I think they've been confirmed by this point to replace Owen and Toshiko respectively.

That's all, thank you for your time.

1) Why would they want to see all the Tahtorak slaughtered?
2) I haven't decided yet
3) My favorite episodes overall were The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances, but I really can't remember most of them by title.
4) Actually, the latest is that Martha will NOT be on Torchwood at all, despite the earlier plans for her to be. The actress accepted a role on the UK version of Law and Order, so she won't be doing the show.

[Nittany Nuva]

To quote BS01:

It is the "roof" of the dome that houses Metru Nui, and Mata Nui is directly above the City of Legends.

So, it is part of the dome itself.

Sorry, but to quote Greg (I just got this a few hours ago):

Hey Greg, there has been some argument about whether or not the island of Mata Nui is considered part of the Matoran Universe or not. Some claim that since "Mata Nui is Metru Nui's dome", the island is considered part of the universe. However, I am of the understanding that the Matoran Universe is everything inside the domes only, and nothing on the outside. I'm just looking for confirmation, so can you say explicitly whether or not the island of Mata Nui is part of the Matoran universe?
Thanks!

And your understanding is correct. Easy answer -- we stated that anything living in the Matoran universe would die if Mata Nui died. The residents of the Kingdom, who were living on the island of Mata Nui, survived his death just fine. Ergo, the island cannot be considered part of the Matoran universe.

Well, that almost seems contradictory. Anyone on Mata Nui would technically be standing on top of the dome in the first place; ergo not in the universe, but on it. It would be like saying someone was standing on the dome of, say, Stelt. They would be standing on the structure of the universe, but not actually in it. I think I'm putting too much thought into this...

So, the way I see it, say you stand on a giant cube. You're standing on the cube, right? You aren't in the cube, but that doesn't make the outside of the cube not part of the cube, does it?


Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!

[Mezilak]

Hi Greg, just some more questions.

1)Could Mata Nui traveled to other universes without matoran space tech?

2)Is umbra's mind shielded?

3)How tall would you say Artidax?

4)How's moving doing?

That's my questions for now.

1) All he would have to do is be outside of the domed universe, on the ocean, and he is in another universe, Mez
2) No
3) Artidax is an island, not a person
4) Still unpacking

1)Does this mean he's already in another universe?
3)Sorry I meant Tridax?

1) When did I say that?
5) I haven't officially stated Tridax is a Makuta, only that I like the idea of naming a Makuta that.

Just some responses.

Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!

Another reason that the island of Mata Nui isn't part of the MU is because it is on the dome of Metru-nui. The is Metru-nui and it's dome, which is part of the MU, then on top of it is Mata-nui, which is not the dome itself, but simply resting on it.

[Freeze]

3) The MU was finished before Mata Nui was brought to life, and I would not consider a creation finished until it is brought to life, myself.

If Greg doesn't consider a creation complete until it is brought to life, and Mata Nui was not brought to life until after the Matoran Universe was completed, how can they be one in the same? Mata Nui would not have been considered finished until some time after the Matoran Universe was complete.

I can see a counter-argument here, though.

Guys, I understand you're discussing Greg's answers, but use the Official Mata Nui topic unless you want this to get closed.

Dear Greg,

1. How can Umbra have any darkness? He's completely devoted to his job and where does the darkness go when he turns into light?
2. (Going out on a limb) Does the fact that bohrok had jungle and not air powers have any thing to do with the 2009 elements?
3. Are visorak tried to the element they're colored as at all?
4. Is there some thing that keeps ko-metru cold or is it just naturally like that?

thats all the questions I have now, thank you


1) Darkness in this case is spiritual in nature, not physical
2) The green Bohrok were swamp, not jungle
3) Don't think so, they have no elemental abilities
4) Naturally like that
--------------------------------------------------
Just some things I was wondering about. Umbra seemed like the perfect canidate for somebody without darkness. I don't want to send another one so could somebody possibly ask about the dark hunters seeing zaktan on the ship?

Is it only me, or the green bohrok, lehvak, were acid, not swamp?

[Reya]

Their element was officially referred to as swamp, since Lego at the time felt acid sounded too violent. Their powers were still acid though.

[E-123 Omega]

sry about the 2 pm's but recently you said that the makuta can survive a few weeks out of a body. well when teridax was in the crystal with the piraka, did that count as being in armor or if he had been in for too long would he die? also when the piraka took some antidermis for the spheres did it weaken teridax or was it part of teridax just seperated from his main body or where they baby teridaxes or not phase him or what?

with my regards oh great almost supirior to me being,
Redge the bat.


1) The crysal served to keep his antidermis together so it did not dissipate. And the amount taken by the Piraka was too small to matter.

ok i sent a follow up to this a long time ago and you didn't respond so i wasn't sure if you got it. if you did i am sorry.
1.well when teridax was in the crystal could he shape shift? also when he was in maxilos armor or possesing someone without a soul could he shapeshift or was that an ability in normal makuta armor?
2.if it is part of the armor could the makuta still shapeshift before the became antidermiss?
3.when the ignika devolved Icarax did he rcover or is he just in horrible pain or did that kill him or what?

4. on a different subject of all the known makuta what order would the chain of comand be? or is it a free for all with teridax on top and that is it or what?
4b.if there is not a particular chain of comand who would you say teridax favors, krika or antroz?

5. on a new subject how would you say teridax felt when the meatru became toa? suprised, amused, confused?

6.i have noticed, originaly the the toa of fire was the leader and more powerfull than the rest but ever since the adventure saga it has been saying the toa of ice and fire are of equal power and the toa of ice is the debuty, why is this? i am not complaining, ice is my favorite element.

7. what is your favorite element?
7b. what is your second favorite?
8.who is your favorite makuta?
8b.who is your second favorite?

with my highly sought regards,
Redge the Bat.


1) No and no
2) No
3) No, he's still in pain
4) Teridax is on top, others serve in charge of projects at his discretion
5) Annoyed
6) Toa power levels are all the same, what differs is usually their experience and skills. The only Toa with higher power levels than normal are the Nuva.
7-8) This really isn't important.

"What a boring world it would be if we had answers for all our questions." -- Thomas Raith


ok, here is just some stuff about makuta. most of this is old but i think some is new. i thought it was something to do with light andshadow are 2 oposite of the main parts of life, and the seconed ones being heat and cold. ho-hum.

[Reya]

Some pretty interesting stuff, especially the highlights.

Hey Greg, just a few questions that came to mind while skimming over the books and storyline --

1. Since there are six pathways in the Codrex, one for each Toa, are there six vehicles stored there as well? Although I know they won't play any part in story, it would make sense.
1) No. If there were six vehicles, then I would have to put six in the story for it to make sense, and I can't do that.

2. Was Karda Nui made so large to give room for the energy storms? Seeing as they were all that was supposed to be there (aside from the Codrex, that is).
2) No

3. One of the energy sources that feeds the world is inside the Codrex, right?
3) Yes
3a. Are there any other energy sources in or outside Karda Nui?
3a) Well, we know the waters of the swamp glow in places, so it's possible

Now, relating to some questions way back...

4. The Great Temple Scroll told the Nuva to quell the volcanoes on Artidax, a task written on it by the Great Beings. You recently said the Nuva did this to prevent Miserix from getting harmed -- so my question is, did the Great Beings know Miserix would end up there?
4a. Likewise, did the Great beings know the Visorak would one day pose a threat, seeing as retrieving the Heart of the Visorak was a task on the Scroll?
4) I would like, before answering, to go back and just confirm that the volcano task was on the scroll, and not just something the OOMN had them do.

5. Did the organic birds seen in 2001 and 2004 originate on the planet?
5) Yes
5a. If they did, can you confirm the existence of at least one other landmass on the planet at some point in time?
5a) This gets dealt with later in story

6. So long as the Matoran keep working and the universe is in order, would Mata Nui be immortal (in the sense that he could not die of old age)?
6) I would say no

7. BL5 described the Great Beings as wearing cloaks, while at the same time it was said the Matoran could not see them. This lead me to thinking -- do Great Beings regularly wear any kind of clothing?
7) Yes
7a. The Ignika has been described as being "created in forges that burned hotter than the stars, and cooled in caverns of ice." Were those caverns and forges in the Matoran universe, or someplace else?
7a) Someplace else
7b. You have said the Great Beings are "much farther away than the Red Star" -- just checking, does this mean they are not on the BIONICLE planet?
7b) That's correct

Thanks a ton in advance -- and I understand fully if you can't answer these!

Reya

Sent him a follow-up PM on question 4, I'll post it when he replies.

Reya

[Lord Koji]

Reya, nice Great Being information, and the information on the organic Rahi. Though I wonder, when will that be revealed? Maybe 09...
Anyway, the Great Beings thing, that seems to be the best I've seen on any of the last ten or so pages, this could be big.

[Wrinkledlion X]

Hi. Two questions:

1. Can a Klakk destroy or damage an OoMN member's mental shielding?

2. In this extremely awesome image, it seems that there are six spheres around the lightstones. What are they?

1) No
2) Please discuss the images with Binkmeister, as he posted them

Agreed. Very nice answers Reya You know it's a good day when Greg actually answers your questions about the nature of the Great Beings, Mata Nui, and the possibility of other above-ground landmasses.

As for that picture (which I have never seen before, freakin awesome, I love those Hau and Miru light images), I would guess that it is the area described in the latest Takanuva Blog, where the Toa each go down a tunnel and Lewa comes out with the Axalara. It is seen coming out of a sphere in the newest CGI clip too.
Edit: That image is very Halo-esque. Pretty sweet.

OO, nice answers Reya.

That's good afternoon, in espanol. Just uno question, por favor.

Will at any time the Toa Ignika enter the Codrex? I'm assuming yes based off of the picture on Bionicle.com, but I just wanted to make sure.

Gracias for your time.

He goes in when the Nuva go in

Oo, speedy response. Me likey.

Do the Nuva/Ignika/Taka exit the Codrex after the vehicles depart, or do some remain? It would seem there is still something of importance in the Codrex, so either they go back or some stay.

You'll find out in November

[GreshLordoftheJu...]

Hey Greg, just a few questions,

1. Did every makuta have an assigned region, or just some of them?
1a. If only some had an assigned region how was it decided who got which region and who got a region at all?

2. When the BoM was at full strength how many members did it have?
2a. If you cant answer can you say if we will find out?

3. How many members does the BoM currently have?
3a. If you cant answer will we ever find out?

4. Did the Mistika makuta take their current forms then enter the swamp and get locked in those forms or just forced into those forms?

5. Who would you say is the highest ranking BoM member in the swamp?

6. if takanuva left the swamp would he revert to his original size?

7. Why would a toa find krika's mask immoral?

8. Krika lost almost all of his powers, right?
8a. If yes could you list the powers he still has?

9. Are the Mistika makuta's essences mutated or just their armour?

10. Would it be possible for their mutation to be fixed?
10a. Would a new set of armour fix it?


Thanks ahead of time,

The Noble Mutran, Lord of Leeches

1) They all have regions, which are assigned by the head of the BOM
2-3) I have no plans to reveal this
4) The former
5) Antroz
6) If he left Karda Nui as a whole, yes
7) Because it makes even nature itself repel you
8) I never said that, no
9) Their essences had to be affected or their powers could not have been affected
10) The Ignika is the only thing that could fix them

I just got back from school and learned in history class that there was a Chinese dynasty named the Xia Dynasty

1. Did you know about this
2. Is this were you got the island's name from?

No and no

Hmmm.. Thought I was onto something...

[Lord Koji]

Hello sir, I have a few questions.

1. Will the Tahtorak on Zakaz plan to wipe out the Skakdi thing play a part at all? I thought Axonn or Brutaka may bring it up to Nektann when they met him...

2. Can Mazeka's Swamp Strider do anything besides walk? I mean any other modes of movement? Like can it hover or anything? The legs on the set fold up, so thats what it seemed like to me.

Non BIONICLE

3. What have been your favorite episodes of the four new series of Doctor Who for each year? Mine have been Dalek, Doomsday, Smith and Jones, Partners in Crime.

4. At the end of Journey's End, Martha and Mickey left with Jack. Would you like to see them in series 3 of Torchwood? I personally would, and I think they've been confirmed by this point to replace Owen and Toshiko respectively.

That's all, thank you for your time.

1) Why would they want to see all the Tahtorak slaughtered?
2) I haven't decided yet
3) My favorite episodes overall were The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances, but I really can't remember most of them by title.
4) Actually, the latest is that Martha will NOT be on Torchwood at all, despite the earlier plans for her to be. The actress accepted a role on the UK version of Law and Order, so she won't be doing the show.

Thanks, just some more stuff.

4. I read about that after you said it, and my source was apparently wrong, it was supposudly quoted from comiccon or something, but still, Series 3 of Torchwood is only one episode spread out over 5 nights, 20 minutes a night. I don't know a lot about that sort of business involving actors, but it seems to me its still possible for Martha to be on.

5. Did you watch The Sarah Jane Adventures? I personally haven't, I'd rather watch Doctor Who, but mainly because I only saw Sarah Jane in School Reunion and Stolen Earth/Journey's End.
5a. If so, one of the enemies for an episode or two for season 2 will be

6. About protosteel, is this how it would work if say, Brutaka, attacked a Makuta. If his strength is greater than the Makuta's, the armor is cut open, if the Makuta is stronger, the blade is cut or just stopped by the impact. If its equal nothing happens to either weapon, they act like normal weapons (like the Axonn/Brutaka fight at the end of 06). Is that right?

Thank you for your time.

3) It's already been confirmed she won't be on at all. The reason Russell Davies wasn't at Comic-Con was that he was rewriting the scripts to take her out.
5) Only saw one, didn't like it much
6) Greater than the toughness of the Makuta's armor, that's what comes into play

3. Ok. I haven't followed up any Comic-Con information, has anything been said about Noel Clarke as Mickey for the season that you know of?

But before I forget, back to 1.
1. So does the Order plan to act on that information at any point? Or just let nature take its course would you think? I mean Nektann has a Muaka steed, so it doesn't seem they're limited to Tahtorak, if they had to slaughter the species that is.

Some new ones:

1. I remember reading in I think the OGD, and BS01, that you hope for Gelliger (sp) to draw the Mata Nui picture. Even if he can't, will someone else do it? Or is it only a chance that it will be in the magazine, only if he has time?

2. Just something I thought about yesterday. If say Mutran fired a shadow hand from his stomach, not the blades like Chirox did, at Ignika, would Ignika be able to retaliate and bring the shadow hand to life and connected to the body as a third arm? Or can't the Ignika do that? I have no idea if that would fall into the peramiters of bringing life which as I recall it can't do on its own.

3. How would you describe the four armed OoMN member's axe? I unfortunatly don't have images at the moment of my MOC to describe it, but would you say its like Axonn's, a normal axe, but with maybe four blades, one on each side? Or is it more like multiple blades on each side? Or, how would you describe multibladed?

That's all, thank you.

3) Never heard anything on that
1) Not anytime soon, it does not profit them
1) It will be in the BrickMaster magazine and he is doing it
2) Hard to say -- it can bring beams of light to life, not sure about shadows
3) Multiple blades on each side

[E-123 Omega]

sry about the 2 pm's but recently you said that the makuta can survive a few weeks out of a body. well when teridax was in the crystal with the piraka, did that count as being in armor or if he had been in for too long would he die? also when the piraka took some antidermis for the spheres did it weaken teridax or was it part of teridax just seperated from his main body or where they baby teridaxes or not phase him or what?

with my regards oh great almost supirior to me being,
Redge the bat.


1) The crysal served to keep his antidermis together so it did not dissipate. And the amount taken by the Piraka was too small to matter.

ok i sent a follow up to this a long time ago and you didn't respond so i wasn't sure if you got it. if you did i am sorry.
1.well when teridax was in the crystal could he shape shift? also when he was in maxilos armor or possesing someone without a soul could he shapeshift or was that an ability in normal makuta armor?
2.if it is part of the armor could the makuta still shapeshift before the became antidermiss?
3.when the ignika devolved Icarax did he rcover or is he just in horrible pain or did that kill him or what?

4. on a different subject of all the known makuta what order would the chain of comand be? or is it a free for all with teridax on top and that is it or what?
4b.if there is not a particular chain of comand who would you say teridax favors, krika or antroz?

5. on a new subject how would you say teridax felt when the meatru became toa? suprised, amused, confused?

6.i have noticed, originaly the the toa of fire was the leader and more powerfull than the rest but ever since the adventure saga it has been saying the toa of ice and fire are of equal power and the toa of ice is the debuty, why is this? i am not complaining, ice is my favorite element.

7. what is your favorite element?
7b. what is your second favorite?
8.who is your favorite makuta?
8b.who is your second favorite?

with my highly sought regards,
Redge the Bat.


1) No and no
2) No
3) No, he's still in pain
4) Teridax is on top, others serve in charge of projects at his discretion
5) Annoyed
6) Toa power levels are all the same, what differs is usually their experience and skills. The only Toa with higher power levels than normal are the Nuva.
7-8) This really isn't important.


ok but lust a few things.
1about the makuta, who would you say terdidax prefers, krika or antroz?
2. will it ever explain hwy the inika had living masks and lightning power?
3what happened to the masks when the theyy turned into mahri.
4.did makuta particually like or dislike matoro?


1) Well, he gave Antroz command of the forces in Karda Nui
2) It's because of how they were made Toa, the energies of the red star
3) They were transformed
4) Makuta doesn't like anyone. He saw Matoro as emotionally vulnerable and played on that.

Krika was tasked with killing Miserix, not imprisoning him. And he's not a big fan of the plan. So, he's probably not Teridax's best bud.

Got a couple of questions to you.

1. Did Toa Jovan's team heal the Great Spirit before the end of the Matoran Civil War, or after?
2. Did everyone feel it when he was healed?
3. If the OoMN wants the Coliseum destroyed, why don't they ask the Toa Mahri?
4. I heard that Ahkmou was intended to be in 2008 and a set of him would even be made. What was your original plan with him?

1) After
2) Yes
3) Because they have other things they need the Mahri to do, plus how would it look to the Matoran of Metru Nui if their heroes destroyed the Coliseum?
4) He was going to be be a shadow Toa

Forgot to ask why the Toa Mahri didn't recognize the Toa Hagah's names.

This post has been edited by Mazeka the Icey: Sep 10 2008, 12:44 AM

They might recognize their names (from Vakama's stories), but not the fact that they're Toa again.

[Taka-kun]

Yes, but in BIONICLE, there are just one-of-a-kind name (not like here where many people can be named Bob). So Norik is Norik, Matoran, Rahaga or Toa, it's just Toa. And didn't the Rahaga meet the Metru Nui Matoran when they returned from Mata Nui? So wouldn't they recognize them?

[Spiriah94]

just expectin a answer from greg for my theory so i'll post as soon as i can

Recognition from looks is out of the question.

And Greg suggested to someone's answer that if six Toa you've never seen before appear out of nowhere wanting to destroy the Coliseum, do you think you'd stop to think if they were friends?

[Darth Gonwa]

And for all the residents know, these Toa could be some other beings impersonating the Hagah.
