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

[Toa Lhikan Hordi...]

Hi, Greg. I was looking in the Official Greg Discussion Topic and found that you told Ikki that Brutaka was/is an OoMN member (I have suspected this). So this leads me to just a few questions:

1. Is he still considered a member or is he a former member since he's now evil?

2. Is Axonn a member as well?

3. Are there any other OoMN members that we'll see this year *cough*Umbra*cough*?

Thanks for your time and I hope that you can answer these.

- Toa Lhikan Hordika

1) He's still a member -- it's not like there is anyone there to hand in his resignation to.
2) Yes
3) Umbra is not a member, but yes, you may see one more

Greg

There you go.

[Vash Toa of Stor...]

Hey Greg got a couple of questions,

1. What is the Great Beings job? Mata Nui watches over the universe, so what do the Great Beings do?
2. On the Hong Kong TRU website it says the Piraka where influenced by Makuta is this true
3. Does Mata Nui know about Karzahni and Artakha?
4. I was looking in the OGD and you said to Toa Lhikan Hordika that we might see one more memeber of the OOMN will he/she/it be in a book or a set?
5. Will we get a Inika and Piraka fight in BL3?
6. In BL2 Zaktan says to Brutaka, "I'll eveb tell you the secret of the spheres." Will we ever learn this secret?

Thanks in advance,
Vash


1) If you asked a Matoran, they would say the Great Beings create universes.
2) As I have told others, I didn't write for that site and neither did anyone else on the story team.
3) Yes.
4) Definitely book and definitely a model, not sure on comic yet
5) Yes
6) You should pretty much be able to make an educated guess by the end of the year, yes

SOme fresh goodies. I found number 4 interesting.

Wow those are some good questions AND answers

[Toa of Resumptio...]

I guess that, if this new OoMN character is definatly a set...well, he is either a normal combo model or, more likely, the 3-Titan model.

[Meca One]

I think we can rule out Botar.

[InnerRayg]

I think we can rule out Botar.

Why do you say that?

[Kinali]

A quick question,

18 (yes 18) canisters washed up on Voya Nui. What did the Matoran do with them?

Toa Kinali


They haven't done anything with them at this point -- all but six of the Matoran have been enslaved, and those six are a little busy fighting for their lives.

Toa Kinali

[Observance]

Hi Greg, Ive been wondering about a few things.
You don't have to reply if you can't answer them.
Okay,
1)Is Botar's role important?
2)How long have Vezon and Vezok been connected?
3)Why do the Inika and Kanohi Ignika have similar names if they were created at different times?(you said the name wasn't a coincidence)


1) In a small way.
2) For as long as Vezon has lived
3) No, I didn't say that. I said Ignika was decided upon when we were still planning to call the Toa Igniters. Then, when we were looking for a BIONICLE name for the Toa, we were trying to find a BIONICLE-sounding version of Igniter and got Inika. As for a story connection, it seems pretty logical that the Toa would have a similar name to the object they exist to quest for.


For as long as Vezon had lived? That is a very long time.

[Mata Nuno]

Hiya Greg.

1)Reidak doesn't like being in the same place for too long,right?So how did he handled being in that canister?

2)How do you imagine Dalu's,Piruk's and Velika's voice?

3)Are the Inika's voice different because of their origin?

4)Did Fenrakk appered out of nowhere when Vezon touched the Ignika?

5)Do all of the BOM member's have the name Makuta?

6)Can Hakann be inside the lava lake?

7)Did the doomatoran always had the same masks?

8)Is Reidak's greatest fear to lose it's strength?

9)Can you give another power of Axonn?

10)Is Velika harder to write about because he speks in riddles?

Thanks in advance!

MN

1) Well, he ripped his way out, that should tell you something.
2) Hasn't been necessary for me to do to write for them, so I haven't.
3) Different from what?
4) No, not from nowhere
5) Hasn't been revealed yet
6) No. Nothing can survive more than a few seconds in molten protodermis.
7) Probably, yes
8) Nope
9) Nope
10) No, actually he is more fun to write because of that. Le-characters are hardest to write because of the treespeak.

[Ehlek]

Here ya go:

Here are my questions:

1.Have allof you started designing the villians?
2.Are the Inika out in stores in UK yet,or is this wrong?
3.Why does Umbra have wheels on his feet?

Thank you!

1) For 2007? They're done already
2) I doubt very much they are out anywhere yet -- the UK LEGO Magazine requested a spread on them for the July issue. If they were going to be out in April, they would have wanted the spread in the March issue.
3) Increased mobility. Think about what, say, skateboarders can do -- riding up on the sides of walls, stuff like that -- and think about fighting someone who can do that at high speed when you can't

[Fusion-X-]

Hi Greg,
I just have a quick question for you.
It has been said that the great cataclysm affected more than just Metru-Nui (i.e. Voya-Nui and beyond). It has also been said that the Toa Olda "fell from the sky" and that they were catapulted to Voya-Nui in BL1. Now, here is my question: Is it possible that the Toa Olda were stationed in there pods somewhere on the BIONICLE planet, in the instance that Mata-Nui be threatened, and that the great cataclysm caused the accuracy of the catapult to launch the Toa Olda into the sea and not onto Mata-Nui (the island)?
Thanks.
F-X-

You may be half-right. The canisters landed where they were supposed to (if they had landed on the island they would have smashed on the ground), but the malfunction arose in the fact that they did not immediately head to shore but floated there for 1000 years.

Well, here is some info on the Toa Olda and why they may not have landed where they were supposed to. Kinda interesting that the great cataclysm may have had something to do with it.
F-X-

[Toa Lhikan Hordi...]

Hi Greg, I was looking at the Chinese Toys R Us site and I was just curious, can you confirm the info about Makuta being the one influencing the Piraka? I mean, I think I can trust Toys R Us, but I thought that I'd ask you just to make sure this isn't fake. Thanks for your time.

I haven't written anything for the TRU site in China, and as far as I know no one else on the story team has either. And you know what happens when non-story team people write BIONICLE ....

Greg

So I guess we shouldn't take those spoilers as the complete truth (although I still think Makuta is involved and it wouldn't be the first time Greg's deceived us so that we won't find out too much too soon).

-

[A Sah Shi]

Can you tell us whether the Inika will be able to form Kaitas? It would make sense since it seems like they're a bit more "united" than other toa teams, plus they know of the Toa Kaita (I'm assuming that's common matoran knowledge by now).

-

Well, this question has two answers --

1) I have not seen the Inika combo models yet, so I have no idea if they look like Kaita or not.

2) Your logic is correct that the Inika would know of Kaita. However, they do not become Kaita in the 2006 storyline, I had no room in the story for that.

Oh well, I can dream....

You may be half-right. The canisters landed where they were supposed to (if they had landed on the island they would have smashed on the ground), but the malfunction arose in the fact that they did not immediately head to shore but floated there for 1000 years.

So is it maybe possible that either:
A- the great cataclysm caused something to make the pods malfunction
B- the catapult that launched them, launched them in the wrong direction, causing them to just float without reaching Mata-Nui

And if they were launched incorrectly, is it possible that the Toa Stones acted as a magnet that drew the canisters in the right direction?

A is correct, and the Toa stones basically sent out a signal that drew the canisters in -- they were sort of like a failsafe in the event the pods malfunctioned.

Just some more info on the Toa Olda canisters. It appears that something during the great cataclysm caused them ot malfunction.

9. Will we get to see Lhikan in any of the Legend books?
9) Lhikan shows up in BL 4

i dont understand how he could show up since he is dead..

can someone clear this up for me?

9. Will we get to see Lhikan in any of the Legend books?
9) Lhikan shows up in BL 4

BL #4 is a flashback of the Piraka's past, how they met each other, how they became Dark Hunters, etc. Lhikan (As a Toa) probably met them along the way .

Greg,
Just a few questions about the Inika's personalities and some other misc. things. I asked you about the Inika's personalities before and you told me to go to BS01. That information was helpful, however I still have a few questions. Thanks in advance.

1.) Kind of a strange question, does Jaller remember being dead?

2.) If so, what does he remember?

3.) If he remembers I assume he is even more afraid to die?

4.) Is there an afterlife for Bionicle, or some sort-of "other place" (like the Fields for the Heroes in Greece)?

5.) In BL2, Matoro seemed kind of cowardly, I may have seen things that weren't there, but is/ was he a bit more afraid than the others?

6.) Who would you say is the most intelligent of the Inika

7.) How do the Piraka react to more Toa?

8.) Is Nuparu the Inika's "techy"?

9.) Do the Inika set-up a base on Voya-Nui?

10.) Is the old hero in BL5 Krakua (possibly in Matoran form)?

Once again, thanks and happy Easter.
TL007


1-3) Good question, yes, he does, but I would not say it makes him "afraid" to die. Aware of the possibility, though. Keep in mind that many humans who die on the operating table and then revive claim afterward to then be LESS afraid of death.
4) Not something we get into, because it touches upon religion which is too controversial of a subject for a toy line to be drifting into.
5) I wouldn't say cowardly, I would say reluctant. Matoro is not a warrior by nature, he's a translator. So Jaller will react to things differently than he will.
6) I really have no strong opinion on this, because they are smart in different ways. Matoro knows languages, Jaller is a good strategic thinker, Nuparu is an inventor, etc.
7) Well, they're not happy
8) Yes
9) No. When you are invading an enemy-held island and in a race against time, you really don't have the luxury of base building.
10) No.



That's all

1) It's possible, certainly
2) Not in 2006, no.

1. Was Vezon ever a Piraka?
2. Was Vezon insane before he found the mask or after?
3. How did you get interested in writing?
4. Are Vezon and Fenrakk have one mind or do they have to seperate minds but, as one entity?
5. How much more do you have to write in BL5?
6. What is the official Bionicle name for Matoro's mask?

Thanks for your time!

1) Vezon is a Piraka, yes
2) Before
3) I have been writing since fourth grade -- it is what I have always been best at.
4) Separate minds, they are not one entity
5) About 3000 words
6) Not sharing mask info yet, too early

Here are some Q and A's.

[~The Joker~]

Hi Greg,
Thanks for answering the last batch. I have a few more that stem from those, and some I forgot. Thanks in advance.

1.) Will we find out about the individual Zamor powers in the next LEGO mag, or can you tell us now?

2.) Do each of the Inika have another Zamor power, besides the EP to cure Matoran?

3.) Out of the physically based mask powers, which is your favorite?

4.) Do the Piraka feel that they can beat the Inika easily, or do they think it will be difficult?

5.) How much time is there between where we are in the storyline now, and the completion of the year?

6.)Did thet Inika's weapons just materialize in their canisters?

7.)Can you give us another Inika quote? (If you are too busy that's fine)

8.) Even though I can already guess the answer, any news on the VNOLG?

9.) What does Jaller remember about being dead?

Once again, thanks in advance.
Tl007


1) Actually, I have asked about putting them in the magazine, so far I have not gotten a yes. So I am going to have to release them some other way, I guess.
2) No
3) Nuparu's
4) Well, they whipped the Nuva pretty handily
5) I don't understand your question. Last comic comes out in November, last novel in December, for 2006 -- year is completed when year is completed.
6) Yup
7) Let me see ... okay, here's one from Book 3 --

Jaller cocked his head and locked eyes with Vezok. “I don’t need a Mask of Telepathy to know what’s going through your head. You figure we’re new to being Toa, maybe not quick enough or skilled enough to use our powers. And you’re right. But, see, there’s only one problem – I’m so new I can’t always control my flame. I might want to just singe you, Vezok … but poor, novice Toa that I am, I could slip … and burn your head clean off.”

8) As I have said before, if I hear anything, I will let BZP know. I don't work on the website, so this news does not go through me.

9) Hard to say, it's not something he likes to talk about.


GregF is awesome, that quote is really cool (dosen't sound like Jaller wants to mess around) Thanks Greg!!!

I can´t believe that Jaller said it.

YOU can answer these questions, Gref?

1) The toa nuva will have a reaction when they see the toa Inika?

2) When is going to be out the third book?

3) The resistance will meet first the toa Inika?

4) Do you think that Kopaka will dissapointet because Matoro is a toa?


Thanks!

Dude, that is sweet. I guess Jaller is really serious when dealing with the Piraka.

[Utopia]

Just to add on to what Eyeshield said...click here to see GregF's profile. Go down to communicate and click "Send a Personal Message".

Anywhoo I might as well give some of my questions to the public...

I just read that you have confirmed that Umbra is not a OoMN member.

1) Was Umbra made a guardian by the OoMN or did the Ignika wanted him there just like it wanted Vezon there?

2) Thok's ice gun has (of course) the power to shoot beams of ice. Is this power in the gun itself or is it Thok's elemental power being channeled through the gun?

3) Hakann's lava gun. same question: Is the power to create lava the gun's power or Hakann just was this ability and uses the gun to channel his power.

4) Is it true that Hakann and Thok can use their elemental powers without conjuction? Or is it that the can only use their gun's without conjuction? Meaning that Hakann can shoot lava, but to heat up a being, he has to be with Zaktan or something...

5) How exactly to the Piraka use their powers in conjuction? Do they stay close? Have to touch each other? They can only combine their powers (i.e.- For Zaktan and Vezok to use their powers they have to create a storm or water and wind (Gali and Lewa did so once).

6) Can Brutaka's sword edge actually electronically cut rock? (It said so in the Chinese TRU site)

7)The Axonn description on that TRU site says that his weapon is a "Giant Axe" Is there an official name for it or is that just it?

Thanks for your time

1) OOMN
2) The latter
3) The latter
4) Only through their weapons
5) They do not have to be touching each other. They have to combine their powers.
6) Yes
7) That's it

On-topic: That's about it, not much, just confirming some things on the Chinese TRU site. Also in another PM Greg said that the whole "Axonn planning to join the Piraka" plot was originally intended to happen, but because he didn't have enough space he dropped it. Just letting you guys know.

Off-topic: Man, I probably should post more, but it's just not my thing. Shame really.

[Takia the Toa of...]

Jaller cocked his head and locked eyes with Vezok. “I don’t need a Mask of Telepathy to know what’s going through your head. You figure we’re new to being Toa, maybe not quick enough or skilled enough to use our powers. And you’re right. But, see, there’s only one problem – I’m so new I can’t always control my flame. I might want to just singe you, Vezok … but poor, novice Toa that I am, I could slip … and burn your head clean off.”

Wow... That is awesome! It appears that messing with Jaller would be a most grevious error, Vezok will probbaly lose because he underestimates Jaller. Then again he might do to him what he did to the Toa Nuva...only time will tell.

Takia[size=1][size=1][size=1]

[ECI]

hi greg sorry to bother you again,i've got some questions:


1.Were the toa olda supposed to be the first toa?

2.If yes to 1. then could this theory be correct?:

Mata nui decides to send toa (in canasters that crazy guy built ) that can protect the matoran should anthing happen to him.Then he is about to send them and the great catalysm begins and he trys to send them but they accedently land somewhere mata nui does not want them.Then he forgets all about them and sends Dume and co.And we continue down the line until Takua finds the toa stones and so forth.Then mata nui creates the inika because he can see the piraka have just beaten him the nuva up.

3.Will we find out the place where the toa olda come from this year?

Some things not about the toa olda:

4.when will we find out where Lhikans group came from and what their names are.

5.Can the ignika revive people.

6.Say Karazahni somehow revives jallers mask.What would happen?

7.the great catalysm(spelling?)you said happened everywhere not just metru nui,who else put the matoran in capsules a part from makuta

8.Can bionicles die of old age?

9.Approx. how many islands are there in the bionicle universe?

10.(sorry I do ramble on a bit to much about lhikan hence my name) is it possible for lhikan to be revived as a toa again?

thanks for you're time

TLN




1) No. It is not in any story bible that the Olda are the first Toa to ever exist.
3) No
4) No idea. At this point, we have no flashback years planned and they are not relevant to the current story we are telling.
5) Resurrect them, you mean? No.
6) I don't understand your question. How do you revive a mask? Do you mean what Takutanuva did in Mask of Light? Nothing would happen, Jaller isn't dead.
7) The cataclysm refers to the earthquake, not the placing of Matoran in canisters
8) So far, we have not seen that happen, but since they are partially organic, it may be possible
9) No idea
10) No. Lhikan has been dead for over 1000 years.


some interesting things here,what I don't get is no.10 does he mean Lhikan Can never come back to life?

[Seranikai]

does he mean Lhikan can never come back to life?

Well, I think it's pretty obvious from Greg's answer - no. Presumably the only reason Jaller and Takanuva were able to be revived was because they had only been dead for a short time, but as Greg said, Lhikan has been dead for over 1000 years.

[Hot Pants]

Just a few this time. Well, a few by my standards, anyway.

1. Isn't Zaktan technically impervious to physical damage? I mean, say Jaller cuts off his head (just for example). Would that really make any sort of difference to him? Or if he gets crushed under a 16-ton weight. If he's made of microscopic creatures, would that really cause him any damage?

2. Is Zaktan's Piraka body his "rest state," or is it just a form he likes shaping himself into? If, say, he was hit with a Mask of Unconsciousness, would he fall over in his Piraka form, or would he melt into a shapeless pile of protodites?

3. In Comic 1, Reidak attacks Thok after climbing back up the cliff. What did he do to attack him? It looks like some kind of laser in the comic, but he doesn't have eyebeams, does he? Is this just an error by the artist?

4. From a marketing point of view, why does Umbra have a Rhotuka? Why would you sell last year's collectible?

5. Does Irnakk somehow generate his own Zamor? And does he create the substance that they're filled with himself too? Is that how he uses his powers?

6. What can Hahli's Mask of Detection do that Axonn's Mask of Truth can't? Seeing stuff that's hidden is the same as seeing the truth behind where stuff is hidden, isn't it?

7a. So, all of the Inika have energy interlaced with their Toa Tools somehow, right? Hewkii has his vibrating axe, Kongu shoots energy arrows, Nuparu fires lasers, and Hahli launches energy harpoons. Is all this correct?
7b. What about Jaller and Matoro? I remember hearing that Jaller's sword is filled with energy, but what does that do? Does it improve the sword's potential for damage? And does the same go for Matoro's sword?

8. Can Brutaka travel through his own dimensional gates?

9. How does Vezon feel about being the Mask of Life's eternal guardian? I understand he was driven insane by it, but insane people have feelings, too. Is he bitter? Is he happy (with a sort of Gollum complex)?

10. Who are the OOMN trying to fool with Umbra's shadowy-sounding name? I mean, if a Makuta comes down into the chamber of the mask to get its claws on the MoLi, Umbra's not going to waste time trying to fool it, is he?

1) Just because a creature is microscopic does not mean it is invulnerable. Microscopic creatures can still be crushed, burned, frozen, etc.

2) It's a good question. Obviously, his protodites do not all go flying off when he falls asleep, but it is reasonable to assume that keeping his exact shape requires some effort of will on his part.

3) Stuart was graphically showing the after-effects of a blow.

4) Asking the wrong person. I don't work in set design or marketing, I work on story.

5) Yup

6) Nope. Axonn's mask penetrates lies ... Hahli's does not. Hahli's can locate the Mask of Life, Axonn's cannot.

7a) and 7b) Yup

8) Yes

9) He's not too crazy about it.

10) Umbra was not placed there to guard against someone as "wired in" to the ways of the universe as Makuta. Makuta didn't even exist yet when Umbra was placed there.

8. Was mata-nui the first person in the bionicle univers?

Thankyou,
Tigs1


1) Can't answer it
2) Yes
3) They don't plan to unleash the ancient evil. They plan to essentially ransom it.
4) No
5) Because it is a symbolic stripping of identity, like giving someone a number instead of a name
6) No
7) Once they have used it to save Mata Nui, it would need to go back to its chamber on Voya Nui
8) No, the Great Beings were there before him.

euh... hi i have some questions please answer them


1) was it difficult to make the metru-nui saga because the result needed to be a situation that linked on to 2001?

2) the ignika has his own mind right? wel is Kongu able to use the suletu on it?

that is all that i can think of now wel thanks in advance!

1) Nope, because we knew back in 2001 how the Matoran got to Mata Nui
2) Time will tell

they already knew in 2001 that the matoran came from metru nui?

I don't know how much of your'e PMs are questions...Probably a lot...

Here are mine:

1. Is it true that Toa take form depending on their perception of Toa. What about the Inika, theyv'e never seen previous Inika. (I know the reason was to make new Toa for 2006, but I need the storyline reason)
2. What use is Hahli's mask? Personally, the only things I can think of than need to be 'detected' is Matoro in spirit form, and someone using a Huna.
3. Will we ever see the Piraka using their powers together to make elemental powers?
4. Will Voya-Nui be important after 2006? 2008?
Off-topic:
5. I'm just wonderin', What sets do you own?

1) Well, the Metru certainly did. As far as the Inika go, they had no control over their transformation, because of how it was done. Their experience of Toa, for example, did not include organic masks or features that were aglow.
2) How about the Mask of Life? Hahli is the only one who can always track down its location.
3) Already happened -- Avak and Hakann did it in Book 1
4) I can't discuss anything past 2006
5) I have some from pretty much every year, but not all -- we have to buy them too, and I have limited room in my home office for display. Some I buy and give away to children's hospitals, etc.

Well, looks like Greg does a bit of Charity work...
As for number one, perhaps it only works if they know how they are becoming Toa... And number two, I guess that will give them an easier time to find the Ignika...

[Sidorak the Fear...]

Only a couple today .

1. With the recent discussion on how the discussion on the Toa Olda canisters, and how the Great Cataclysm affected them, they were meant to go to Mata Nui right? And why Mata Nui? What's so special about it?

2. Also, with the OoMN being content with the Vahi in the Toa's hands, how'd they find out? OoMN agents, or were rumors being passed around, and they heard them?

3. Who placed the Kanohi Ignika in Mt. Valmai? Not specificly, just what group?

4. My best guess is that Toa Jaller isn't as. . .scared as the other Toa would have been of the Piraka, because he was captan of the gaurd for so long. Am I right?

5. What exactly do the populations of the islands, cities, etc. do with the bodies of the ones who have passed away? (Jaller, for example)

6. Also, just to clear stuff up, is Lehvak Kal still alive? He was blasted into orbit, and his Krana needs to breath, so he's dead, right?

Thanks in advance,

1) Pretty simple. I will use an example. You are in New York and you have a mission to go to an underground lab in Colorado. I shoot you up in a rocket to get there. The rocket is programmed to land at the base above the underground facility. Why? Because the easiest way to get to the lab is through the base -- if I make the rocket tunnel down through the ground, without knowing how the lab is laid out these days, you may wind up in a toxic vat or something. Mata Nui is the fastest way to get to Metru Nui, because it is like climbing down a chimney into a house. I didn't know it was so important for the Toa to get to Metru Nui. . .

2) OOMN knows pretty much everything. Heck, the Dark Hunters knew the Vahi was being used thanks to Voporak, you think the OOMN would not? Thought so.

3) The Great Beings placed it in its chamber, which is not in Mount Valmai. Okay.

4) True, but keep in mind that Kongu was also head of the Gukko Bird Force. A lot of these Matoran have seen combat. I forgot about that, plus the fight against the Bohrok in Onu-Koro.

5) I have already been asked this question about ten times in the last weekend. I answered the first person and my answer was posted in the topic on the subject. I feel sorry for him .

6) Depends. Krana were also buried alive on Mata Nui, but we don't assume they are all dead. It is entirely possible that krana can slow their life processes down to such an extent that they might only need, say, one breath every year or something. None of the Toa, Turaga or Matoran are experts on krana biology. Cool.

Pretty interesting, ecspecially number 6.

hi thanks for answering the 2 questions i did send you yesterday anyway i have another few

1)does the ignika's mind go away when it is worn?

2)what does happens when thok and vezok use their power in tandem? would it just be a block of ice or a thing like a waterblast that freezez everything t touches or a tidalwave filled with blocks of ice?

3)does the ignika know of the ae?

4)does the ignika know at all about organisations like the bom bomn dh or about toa karzahni and arthaka etc.

again thanks in advance

1) No thought so
2) Depends on what they want to do with their powers -- they are not confined to doing just one kind of thing. should've known that
3) Good question. Most likely it does, because it is pretty well wired into the universe that is actually pretty logical
4) Same answer as #3 so it knows about those many things ? that mask is pretty intelligent
