Official Greg Discussion, For the Answers from your GregF PMs Options

[Bionicle Rex]

Members often receive answers from Greg via PM. The large number of topics have been getting out of hand, so this is now the official topic for all answers Greg gives to members. Post all Greg answers here. All other threads will be locked.


Edit by Screenguy (3 Feb 2007): If you wish to send a question to Greg Farshtey, click here.

Edit by munkeymunkey (17 Dec 2007) : This topic is for posting the Q&A's you have with GregF and for commenting directly on those questions and/or answers. Nothing more. This means that...

1) Questions about the storyline should NOT be posted here. Use the S&T Forum (in a different topic) for that. You can PM GregF your questions, as well, but most questions abotu the past stroyline can be answered by members, so that sort of question might as well be posted in the S&T Forum anyway. I repeat, this is not a place to post questions. It is for answers from GregF that you have received through PM (which, yes, should be accompanied by the questions you asked him... just posting that "he said yes to question 5" doesn't help).

2) Asking for GregF to give more info or planning on what to ask him does NOT belong here. You can pester him through PM or in his blog if you like, but GregF doesn't read this topic on a normal basis, and plannign between members is better off done in your PM messaging system.

Key: Greg-Mine
Here are mine in chronological order:

April 1st 2003:

1) How did all those Rahi get infected masks, Makuta
couldn't put all those infected masks on all those
Rahi? That brings many other questions:

All Rahi wear masks, so it was just a matter of infecting them.

a- How did Makuta make infected masks?

Kraata infect masks when they touch them.

b- How are masks made anyway?

That you will have to wait until next year to find out.

2) Where in the Bahrag nests were the Bohrok-Va
sleeping before the Bahrag awoke, they didn’t
have chambers? And they had Krana of different
color, but did they have powers – why were they
different colors?

Krana are dormant colors until they are fitted into a Bohrok, and no the Va had no special powers. They were in a corner of the nest we did not show.

3) What did the ‘Before time’ look like?

Can't answer that, would give away too much of the story.

April 2nd 2003:

2) Were the Matoran masks made by the same peop-
ple who made the Great and Noble Kanohi? That
brings to mind a few other questions like:

Yes, probably.

a- Are all masks in the BIONICLE mythos called Kanohi?
As far as I know.

b- How or why do the Rahi have masks on them in the
first place?
That is a story for down the road.

c- Is the Vahi mask of time grey like all other Kanohi
when not being worn?
No, I don't believe it is, because it does not turn into a Toa color when worn. It remains orange.

d- When a Matoran has his/her Kanohi removed what
happens?
You should find out next year.. assume it is something bad.

3) Are Kratta slow movers or are they quick movers,
have you any news on a Kratta name yet?
I would see them as being pretty quick. I don't have legally approved names for them yet.

4) On Mask of Destiny a BIONICLE news site, a reporter who went to
the last Toyfair said that there was another third
special Kanohi (not the Mask of Light or the Mask of
Shadows, what is it?

If there is, I have no idea what it may be.

6) Why haven't the Matoran and Turaga tried to sail
very far from Mata-Nui? They have had plenty of
time to make the voyage, or isn't there anything of
interest out there beyond the area we can see?

I think they have basically had enough problems just surviving on Mata Nui without going out and looking for more trouble.

7) The tunnels (well most of them) under Mata-Nui
some nice architecture and patterns, but is it a who
or is it a what that made them? And did they also
make Kini-Nui?

Maybe it is a who AND a what You never know. Anyway, I can't really reveal that yet.

8) Back in the time when the Toa-Nuva were just
being brought to light there was this
teaser, they don't look like Rahkshi or Bohrok
-Kal, so what are they? (they don't look like Toa
either.)

I have heard two stories about the bumps in the protodermis-- one that they were meant to be Rahkshi, one that they were meant to be Toa Nuva. I have an email in to the original artist to get a definitive answer.

9) How many Bohrok, Bohrok-Va and Krana are there?
Also, are there any like Bahrag creatures? Who
or what made them?

Thousands. And no, I think the two Bahrag are the only two there are.

10) When Kopaka landed on Mata-Nui he emerged
from his canister, he also said his dreams were
dark ones. Does this mean they were asleep bef-
ore they landed on Mata-Nui?

I believe they were in stasis.

11) When is the Proto-Squad website going to be
updated next?

Soon.

12) After the Kal saga will the Toa still have the same
problem they have now, their disagrements? If so
will that effect the villages?

Yes, but it should not spill over into the Matoran.

13) After the Toa complete their destiny in defeating
Makuta will they transform somehow or will they
continue life as if nothing happened? Or will the
next 'book' be a prequil?

I don't have next book info yet, but I do know there are no immediate plans to transform the Toa again.
