[Atlas]

IMPORTANT... maybe

Hi Greg. I just have 1 question.

Whose construction was started first: Mata-Nui or the Matoran Universe?

Thanks in advance. Atlas

Why does it matter?

I sent a follow up a while ago, and I'm not sure if you got it, so if you got this twice, sorry!
Anyway, the people in the OGD were having a discussion about it. So just for clarification, which one's construction started first?

I also have a second question. Is there a lot of space under Mata Nui (the island)? Or is it straight down to Metru Nui?

Thanks in advance. Atlas

1) Mata Nui's construction started first
2) I don't quite get you -- we have seen what's under Mata Nui already, the Bahrag lair, the Bohrok tunnels, etc.

[Vaka-Nui]

Hello, Mr. Farshtey. I have a quick question.

Why did Mutran create a Klakk in Karda Nui?

Thanks for your time!

For defense, and because creating Rahi is his profession as well as his hobby

Lol, imagaine it. Now, my guardian Klakk, defend me from Takanuva! *Klakk uses sonic scream and cures Takanuva* Mutran: WHAT!?- AHHHH!

Does that disproves the MN=MU theory? I'd say so, unless GregF meant the island of Mata Nui...

[Reya]

Or the body of Mata Nui could have been constructed before the domes inside him were, since the domes essentially are the MU.

[M.O.C. Man]

Here were just a few things I was wondering about. Thanks in advance for reading them.

1. Borok are active in the kingdom. Are these ones that have their Krana removed and been reprogrammed to serve the kingdom or are they operating by other means?

2. When destined Av-Matoran change into Borok do they need to be in the same location as the ones that changed in the swamp of secrets, or can they be where ever, transform, and then be teleported to the hives?

2b. If they need to be in the swamp, then how do/did the ones that were planted across the universe come back, or were all those that were planted across the universe not destined to become Borok ?

3. Will the Klakk that ends up in Karda-Nui be created by one of the Makuta currently in Karda-Nui?

4. I’ve noticed that some rahi seem to have powers similar to kanoka disks (Rahi-Nui: all , Fader Bulls: teleportation, Kavinika: duplication) If a Makuta were to put a kanoka disk in the mix when creating rahi would that allow the rahi they created to access those powers?

4b. If this is not how theses rahi got these powers, then would it still be possible for a Makuta to do this?

5. Was the dweller in the deep one of the first rahi that evaded capture? I ask this because only one has been seen, it was of gigantic proportions, and it seems unlikely that every one of those rahi would have followed Marvah.

5b. Speaking of which, what has become of this rahi?

6. How exactly is Necktann’s Muaka related to the one that Nokama talked to? Are they the same animal or were they just mutated similarly?

7. Have you yet decided what Kanohi Trinuma wears, or is it not relevant to the story?

8. I enjoyed destiny war, especially the most recent one. I have a question though. The Matoran, when arriving to Metru-Nui meet the Rahagah before they left, and Vakama told them about the Rahagah. Jaller, though, did not seem to recognize them though even when Norik told him his name. Did Jaller not recognize them because his thoughts were elsewhere, and because he had no knowledge of the Rahagah turning back into Toa?

Kingdom Questions:

9. In the kingdom, what happened to the Shadow Matoran? I doubt that many Toa would really want things without any light in them running around.

10. Did Keetongu, Krahka, Pewku and/or any Tahtorak make it to the kingdom?

11. About how long could a being survive under the kingdom in the mutagen without Mata-Nui? A month? A day? A few hours?


1) Reprogrammed

2) The latter
Interesting..

3) Yes
Sorry, I sent this before we found out that this is true.

4) No, they don't use Kanoka disks, they use viruses

5) No
Thought that might have been cool.

5a) Nothing's become of it, it's still in the ocean
Not to interesting, but it might be new info

6) Mutated similarly

7) Not worrying about it until I need to

8) He had no knowledge that the Rahaga became Toa, or that Roodaka was even still alive to turn them back into Toa. He knows Takanuva is missing, and suddenly six Toa show up who he has never met, saying they want to destroy the Coliseum? In his place, would you assume they are old friends?

9) Most likely, they stayed in the MU with the Makuta
This is new I think

10) Yes
I hope he means yes to all
11) If you are out in the ocean, outside of the Matoran universe, your survival is not tied to Mata Nui. Mata Nui's death means heat and light departs the domed universe, not the world outside of it
I meant in the domes. Toa Tanma said that most of the water under the kingdom had mutagen right?

[Xander004]

I got this earlier. I didn't have time to post it.

I heard that there will only be one Klakk in the OGD. How does it get inside? Through the giant hole in the ceiling while it was there, or through the protal?
If it's through the portal, does it go through when Mazeka or Vultraz go through?

Is Nektann about the same size as Irnakk?

1) Mutran creates it there
2) Not quite as big

[Hubble]

Hello greg, I have a question:

does the red star have anything to do with 209?
Is arhtoka or watever it is spelled going to make an appearance?

Also greg?
what is the builder of the toa canister's name?

If you don''y have a name may you use the name Zyra or Hubble
or something like that

[Zexion]

Hope this helps all of you Mata is the MU theorizers.

WOW! I haven't PMed you in a month, amazing isn't it.

Anyway, I have seen that majority of the posts in the OGD are about the debate questioning if Mata Nu is the MU or is not. And to hopefully quell some of the this, I have some questions that hopefully you can anwser.

1) Can the MU leave the Bionicle Planet.

2) Is Mata Nui mobile.

3) Was the MU finished before Mata Nui was or were they finish being made about the same time?

Thanks in advance.

~Zexion

1) Yes
2) Yes
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.

[DarkBlade]

new's just in (literaly) probley old but any way (post key:- question normal answer bold)

Hi Greg

i have just one quick question can Mata nui travel inside the matoran universe?


He has no real need to, as his awareness extends throughout the universe, and he does not physically intervene in the goings on there, so no real reason to travel about in it.

how dose his awareness extend throughout the universe is he spiritually tied to the MU?

also one more thing will the events that caused his sleep/death make him pay more attention to the going on's inside the MU?

Thanks for your time




Since one of these touches on the nature of Mata Nui, and on future story, I can't answer either

Greg doesn't come to this topic so you need to PM him with your questions using the link on the front page of this topic and just so you know, Greg doesn't take suggestions for names. He can only use the ones from the list of names he has.

Hey Greg,
Glad your move went fine. Just a couple of questions.

1) You said that rahi control is not a element a toa could posses but could it be a mask power?

2) I know this is suggestion, but since you are running out of names. Here is one you could use for the Mask of Growth. Karda or Kardas. Since they both deal with large creatures or places. It could be the same word like the story of mangia. (Kardas)(Karda) could be the matoran word for Giant or large.


1) Arguably
2) The problem with doing this sort of thing is that it gets really confusing if so many terms refer to two different things.

That wouldn't work. Karda means "Core" in Matoran. No reason why the Mask of Growth would be the Kanohi "Core."

[E-123 Omega]

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)

Hi Greg, just some more questions.

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

2)Is umbra's mind shielded?

3)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) Still unpacking

Just some random questions.

[Meca One]

Been collecting PMs since... November. I may or may not have posted them, but presumably I haven't since I haven't deleted them from my inbox. Deleted useless questions before posting.

Q: How would 2007 have ended if not for the story redesign in September 2006?

A: Matoro wouldn't have died. Mata Nui would have, and 2008 would be the Mahri, in new flying forms, in the core trying to save him. And Matoro would have died at the end of '08.

Q: Replying to the statement about the Metru Nui Matoran being able to produce Cordak ammo -- Why? Why would Toa want such weapons if they can avoid it?

A: Why not? What if the Makuta launch an all-out attack on Metru Nui? Are you going to be picky about what weapons you use to fight them off?

Q: Did Kongu's crossbow change into something else when he transformed? If so, why did he ditch it?

A: He ditched it because he wanted two Cordak.

Q: Is it SPEE-ree-ah? As in, is that the correct emphasis?

A: Yes.

Q: Is the adaptive armour's ability simply advanced tech or does it actually have a shapeshifting power?

Q: Does the armour adapt by itself or do the Toa control what it does? For example, if they're pushed off a tall building while unconscious, would the armour fly them to safety or would they hit the ground hard?

A: The Toa do not control it, it adapts on its own, and yes, it can shapeshift.

Q: How does the Kakama work? Does it increase the speed that someone's traveling, or their actual movements? The latter would result in Pohatu being able to run fast and not being able to fly any faster, but the former would allow him to run fast and fly fast, so I'm assuming it's the former, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

A: It's the latter. Superman's speed allows him to both run and fly fast, so why can't the Kakama do the same thing?

Q: Why does Kopaka have a targeting light on his mask? If I attach a torch to my head, I wouldn't be able to aim my gun any better, that is, if I had a gun.

A: It acts like a laser sight.

Q: How does it help though? Like I said, if I had a laser sight on my head, it wouldn't help aim a gun. I'd put the sight on my gun. And Kopaka has one on his gun. So I don't see the need for the one on his mask.

A: Well, before, Kopaka had a telescopic sight on his mask -- now he has one that is a laser sight as well. And evidently it does help him aim, since he isn't the same as we are.

Q: How did Gadunka's curse power get used on himself? Shouldn't Nocturn have been killed by himself in that case?

A: Curses vary -- they are not always things you do to other people, sometimes they are things done to you. When Pridak was cursed, he went nuts -- he didn't turn everyone around him nuts.

Q: Can Makuta absorb their kraata back to regain energy?

A: Probably, yes.

Q: Do Icarax, Antroz, Mutran, Chirox and Vamprah generally use their own leeches, as in, leeches made from their own kraata?

A: No, that's not necessary.

Q: I forgot, can Makuta control kraata that aren't theirs? That's why I was asking. If they can, yes, it would be unnecessary.

A: Moot point, because a Makuta who drops a Tridax pod does not "control" the shadow leeches inside it. He drops it near his target and the leeches do what they do naturally.

Q: Where was the Ignika when it turned silver? Was it with Nocturn? Or before that?

A: It was in Karda Nui, just after Matoro used it.

Q: How big are the northern and southern continents, roughly speaking?

A: South is bigger than north.

Q: Where is the northern continent in relation to Metru Nui? Are their domes connected, or near each other at least? Or far apart? Since Metru Nui is the northernmost island.

A: South of Metru Nui. Nothing is north of Metru Nui. And they are a ways apart.

Q: Where is the Pit in relation to the northern continent?

A: South of it.

Q: Since Karda Nui is so big, does it extend underneath all the domes, like how the Archives extend under all of Metru Nui, not just Onu-Metru?

A: No, it doesn't.

Q: Are there islands very far south of the southern continent? I figured that they only called it the southern continent because there's a northern continent, and that there's a bunch of islands still south of it. But that's just a guess on my part -- I'd like confirmation.

A: There are largely unexplored islands to the far south.

Q: Can you confirm that the humanoid shape on the Kanohi Ignika is in the shape of the Great Spirit Mata Nui?

A: Yes.

Hello Mr. Farshtey. I hope you are doing well.
I have a question. I know you can not say much about the Red Star, but I had an idea that popped into my mind: Can the Red Star Go out like a Sun can? As in it turns into a giant then a black hole?


No
Well, it is kinda interesting.

this either means that our physics don't apply in bionicle, or that the red star is, in fact, not a star at all!

We don't know what it is, just that the Bionicle inhabitants THINK its a star.

Well, that's a no-brainer. Stars don't tend to orbit a planet, do they? (They could in Bionicle, but that's not the point. )


Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!

[Schnee 1]

Like many others, my insatiable curiosity has been piqued once more; this time by rereading your wonderfully written Legends #10. Hope your summer's going well.

1. Do all the Makuta's Nynrah blasters do the same thing? I only saw the effects of Bitil's on Onua, and that was the paralysis/control effect; do Gorast's & Krika's achieve the same?
1b. What about the Toa's blasters? They seem to create objects made of energy; are the shape/size of said objects controlled by the wielder's mind?
1) Yes
1b) Yes

2. What is the description of Gorast's Kanohi? I know it's the Feinas, Mask of Disruption, but disruption of what exactly?
2) Powers

3. The Mistika Makuta's powers appear to be as follows:

All: Flight, shadow energy, Nynrah blasters
Gorast: Mask of disruption, light draining
Bitil: Mask of time duplication, telepathy (with other Makuta[?])
Krika: Mask of repulsion, energy drain from others/environment
3) You are leaving out other Makuta powers they still have. What has been shown in story is not all they have, just all they have used in story

4. Do we get to know what caused Takanuva's growth yet? If not, when (if ever)?
4) Takanuva's growth is caused by the same thing that makes the Av-Matoran larger than normal Matoran -- the intense and unique light energy of Karda Nui

5. How much time has elapsed since the Toa Mata's arrival on Mata Nui (basically, the current storyline, omitting Vakama's tales)?
5) A little over a year

6. Do the Mahri have much to do currently? Does Metru Nui really need protecting from anything other than Rahi?
6) Aren't Rahi enough? Think about what the Mata went through on Mata Nui, dealing with Muaka and Kane-Ra and Nui-Rama. Now unleash those on a major city ...

7. Do you plan on ever visiting anywhere outside of Connecticut? Like Michigan?
7) Basically, I go where I am invited. For me to travel somewhere that isn't driving distance, the library or school or store that wants me to show up has to be willing to pay for my travel and hotel, as I don't have the money to fund these things myself.

Alright, these sound good.

On number six...

The Toa Mata fought Rahi that had infected masks. The Rahi of Metru Nui don't....so why are they hostile?

Well, they could roam wherever they wanted on Mata Nui. On Metru Nui, you have lots of delicate structures that are bound to get damaged if some large animal walks through. It's like having a bear walk down a city street. Do you think that's a good idea?

Q: Does the armour adapt by itself or do the Toa control what it does? For example, if they're pushed off a tall building while unconscious, would the armour fly them to safety or would they hit the ground hard?

A: The Toa do not control it, it adapts on its own, and yes, it can shapeshift.

Q: How did Gadunka's curse power get used on himself? Shouldn't Nocturn have been killed by himself in that case?

A: Curses vary -- they are not always things you do to other people, sometimes they are things done to you. When Pridak was cursed, he went nuts -- he didn't turn everyone around him nuts.

Interesting, these two quotes. Imagine if the adaptive armor didn't shapeshift, then it would be like Transformers tranforming...

And it would be hilarious is Pridak made evryone around hom go nuts.

While the armor would adapt, I don't thin kit would save them from falling if they were unconscious. Can't use a jet while in a coma, you know.

I doubt anything could live in a real burning ball of gas, BIONICLE or not. It's definitely not a star.

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.

Hello Mr. Farshtey. I hope you are doing well.
I have a question. I know you can not say much about the Red Star, but I had an idea that popped into my mind: Can the Red Star Go out like a Sun can? As in it turns into a giant then a black hole?


No
Well, it is kinda interesting.

Very interesting...

this either means that our physics don't apply in bionicle, or that the red star is, in fact, not a star at all!

Well, how many stars do you know of that are made of lightning and have beings inside them?

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) Yes3) Toa Mahri4) Jaller and probably Hahli5) 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 together6) 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!

exactly my piont

I think they were just kidding around. There is no romance in Bionicle, that has been stated many times. But it certainly raises fanfiction ideas.

yes it does.frankly,now that i think about it,there really is no room for it.greg is tired of it,i'm tired of it,alot are tired of it.I demand this romance debate over.

Seriously people, we are getting way off topic. Alright now, we know that Mata-Nui was completed before the MU. We just don't know if it the spirit or the island. Some PM GregF about it. He doesnt respond my PM's at all these days.

yup.anyway,back on topic!

[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'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) Still unpacking

I think i post this before. I don't know. I'm getting sleepy. Plaese tell me if i did.

Server probably ate them. I'm trying to go over a "theory" of mine with him, but it's taking a while because of the stupid server.

Is mata nui(spirit) is or not the island of mata nui?


I am not allowed to discuss the nature of Mata Nui. You will see him at the end of the year and your questions will be answered then.

works for me

I'm pretty sure it's the spirit. Isn't Mata Nui (island) considered part of the universe?

-TBC

[Poptart Toa of P...]

No. In The Kingdom, the MU was destroyed, but the island of Mata Nui wasn't

No it's not. The island of Mata Nui is outside the domes, therefore not part of the Matoran Universe.

@Mezzilak: Yeah you did Don't worry about it though.

Guys, could you please stop quoting enormous posts just to comment with one sentence that has nothing to do with the topic? Scrolling through one post that takes up half a page is getting really annoying. Just quote a short part of the post you are commenting on.

[Aravagantos]

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

[tomdroidser]

Some minor theory I thought up of that got disapproved:

Sir:

After watching "Mask of Light," I had this thought: The Kanohi Avohkii was not made from a disk. Who needs a lightstone when you have it? Also, Antroz supercharged the Jetrax with energy "older than the stars" from a lightstone. Would it make sense that Artakha made the Mask of Light from a lightstone that originates from Karda Nui?

-Tomdroidser

No, Artkaha did not make it from a lightstone from Karda Nui. There are six lightstones in the Codrex, and they are intact.

Hmmm...funny that he didn't disprove that it was created from a lightstone at all...just sent a PM to him about that...

six lightstones in the codrex? they sound important

[Nittany Nuva]

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?
