6) I can't discuss 2009, but note that I said A mask will be crucial to 2009 -- not that we would be doing a whole host of new masks and mask powers
is this new? sounds like a legendary mask hunt again. sigh.We've already done that. I'm sure Greg can figure out a way to use a powerful mask without either finding it, or making its destruction a destruction of the universe.
Hi again Greg, sorry if I bothered you, I apologize, you can answer these whenever you want
1. Since Antroz leads the Phantoka Makuta, and he is Teridax's right-hand, who is Teridax's left-hand? Is it Krika?
2. Does it require three Toa to fuse into something? Because Prototype was two Toa who were hit with the Spear of Fusion. Did the third one die if there were three?
3. Do Makuta have specialties in the types of Rahi that they create? Ex. Chirox usually makes Rahi that are extremely dangerous (Doom Viper)
4. Was Takua the only Av-Matoran hidden on Metru-Nui?
5. Will the Shadowed One's name ever be revealed?
6. Was Takanuva's color scheme (before growth) the same as after he grew? (White and Gunmetal?)
7. Would the OoMN have asked Shadow Stealer to join them if he didn't join the Dark Hunters?
8. How many Toa of Light are/were there, or is Takanuva the only one?
9. What colors would you consider Lariska?
10. Does Krahka still remember the Toa Metru?
10b. Would she believe the Turaga if they told her?
11. Are the Tahtorak and Kanohi Dragon still fighting?
11b. If not who won?
Thanks in advance.
1) He has no left hand
2) It requires three Toa to make a kaita. Prototype was not a kaita, just two Toa joined together with the Spear of Fusion
3) Yes
4) Yes
5) No. When I revealed Teridax's name, after polling BZPers to see if they wanted to know it (they did), I got hit with a wall of hysteria, with people claiming BIONICLE was ruined for all time because they didn't like the name. I see no reason to go through that again.
6) Yes
7) Been years since I wrote about that character, so not something I can answer off the top of my head
8) Takanuva is the only one, ever
9) I am not a visual person -- I think in words, not pictures -- so I don't imagine things like colors for my characters generally
10) Yes
10b) Why not?
11) Who won gets revealed in the Toa Hagah serial this summer

My bet is on Tahtorak. He hasn't lost a single fight yet with anothet giant rahi, not counting the tie between him and the Zivon... plus, how can the literal godzilla of bionicle lose?
Still, I suppose anything could happen...
I hope the kanohi dragon won, and OMG teridax has no left hand!!!

Hi Greg. I've got a few questions, and I hope they're not more you can't answer.
1 ) Did Teridax create the Nivawk?
1a ) If yes, is that why he kept it as a pet and could understand its language?
1b ) If no, did another Makuta create it specifically for use by Teridax? Perhaps in bribery?
2 ) A Rahkshi Kaita is said to be able to be made from Rahkshi of any three powers. However, the two we have seen take their names from the type of Kraata that controls them. Does this mean there are only 42 possible Rahkshi Kaita, that multiple types of Rahkshi Kaita can have the same name, or that there is a different naming system used by Makuta and others who have to deal with identifying so many different Kaita?
3 ) I know I was probably more than a little obnoxious in asking so many playset questions before. However, one of them I was very curious about, and it would be useful on the wiki. Are the air bubbles carried by the Toa Terrain Crawler and its mini-sub for the sake of potential air-breathing passengers (since I’m pretty sure the OoMN wasn’t sure who would end up using it, or if they were they didn’t know that they’d have been transformed by the Ignika into water breathers)?
4 ) Perhaps was the Toa Terrain Crawler kept in some section of the Pit for emergency transportation prior to the Great Cataclysm, and after it escaped it was caught again by Axonn? I can’t imagine how else it would have gotten to Voya Nui’s lower levels otherwise, since until the Great Cataclysm there was no water separating Voya Nui from Karda Nui. Unless a member of the Order delivered it to Voya Nui after the cataclysm had taken place, knowing that it would now be needed...
5 ) Did Roodaka intentionally give the Rahaga their new spinner powers (boomerang, snare, etc.), or was it a careless/unpredictable aspect of their transformation?
Thanks in advance, and I hope I'm not bugging you again with questions you can't answer.

1) Probably
1a) Why not? Lots of people have pets, and in this case, he had one that could spy for him.
2) We don't know that keeping the kaita straight is a problem, because outside of that one comic, we have never seen any Rahkshi kaita. It may simply not be an ability they use very often.
3) Again, not something I have worried about since I didn't need to for story.
4) No, that wasn't the case. It was a sea creature Axonn modified.
5) Their spinner powers are dictated by their internal will, that's not something she could change. She can change how they look, not who they are.
I sent another PM to him and hope to get a reply soon.

I sent this question a few weeks ago and I'm not sure it got to you. Here it is:
If all the Av-Matoran left Karda Nui during the Time Slip, why and how did they come back?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
1) The Av-Matoran were living in villages beneath Voya Nui. When the Great Cataclysm hit, those villages and the stalactites they rested atop of fell into Karda Nui.

Comments:
1. Interesting...I never thought of that...
It either means Europe or the Expanded Universe. I'm betting on Europe; After all, what is there for him to do in the S&T Contest? The weapons if the S&T Contest won't be used in the story... Or are they?...
Or he just meant that he had to do a emregency project in Europe, not for it.
*Shrugs* Could just be a marketing project, anything, really... just something we in the US most likely won't see. Ah, well, you guys need some of the stuff you've missed out on, so...
Hello Greg. This is my first PM to you. I'm new.
Anyways;
How goes the new summer serials?
Haven't started them yet. Still have to finish the winter ones.
I meant to ask about if he decided which was blog, etc. Oh, and how do I quote PMs.

1) in the spiriah instructions , the midak skyblaster is loaded with only one midak sphere (you can still see the red part of the skyblaster),
is there a storyline reason, maybe less light in places outside karda nui since it absorbs light from surroundins, or is it just a glitch
Given that Spiriah is a combination model, done by the master model builders who are not part of the BIONICLE design team, they have no reason to think a skyblaster should have more than one sphere. Simple as that.
so it really just have one sphere?

No, his Midak is just as effective as the Nuva's, it's just a set thing, like his Matoran.

3) Well, if you assume the GBs came from someplace that had both male and female beings, why wouldn't they create Matoran with female attitudes/psyches? You create what you know.
I got this reply a while ago. I know it really doesn't have anything to do with the current plot, but I thought it was interesting. Sorry if this is old news.
-Tekulo-
Well, it does reveal that the Great Beings come from a place that has male and female beings, opening the possibility that the BGs can be either gender themselves. Nice little trivia.
I think we already knew that.
Yeah, we already knew that. There are male and female GBs, but the possibility that they came from a place with males and females is new.

Hi Greg, I have a few questions for you:
1) How did the Vortixx come across their shadow powers?
2) Now that the Toa Mahri have completed their destinies, what will they do now?
3) Does Toa Ignika have portions of Matoro's mind, or does he have a mind of his own?
Thank you.
1) I believe the only one we have shown using shadow powers is Roodaka, who got it through extensive training and making contact with the darkness inside her
2) Guard Metru Nui, for the moment
3) He has no portion of Matoro's mind, as Matoro's consciousness was destroyed when he converted to energy

Sorry for having so many this time.
1. Toa of Stone can control solid rock-like Protodermis, Toa of Ice can control solid ice-like Protodermis, and Toa of Water can control liquid protodermis. Are these types of Toa also able to create these types of Protodermis as they can with their element’s non-Protodermis namesake?
1a. If the Toa is familiar with both the Protodermis and non-Protodermis versions of their element, can they decide which version to create?
2. Do the Bohrok have other tasks besides clearing the island of Mata Nui? It seems to me that with nests extending below Metru Nui, there are far more Bohrok than are needed for that task alone.
3. In the VNOLG there were nine different types of Burnak: Fire, Air, Water, Stone, Earth, Ice, Desert, Protodermis, and Stronghold. Are all these breeds of Burnak canon? Mostly curiosity here; I don’t have enough knowledge of the game to ask questions on what differences the breeds might have.
4. Is the planet surface the only place where non-Protodermic water, stone, and ice can be found?
5. On BS01 the Other “Fixed” Matoran page shows images of two frail-looking Matoran from Karzahni’s realm, both pictures gotten from the Karzahni chapter of BIONICLE World. However, I was under the impression that Karzahni shipped away all the Matoran he fixed and from then on just enslaved the “broken” Matoran who needed fixing without modifying them. Which is the case?
5b. Also on BS01 it says the “fixed” Matoran rescued from Karzahni by the Toa Nuva were later taught to rebuild themselves by the Turaga. However, as I said before, I don’t think these Matoran were ever “fixed” into weaker and misshapen forms like the Matoran who were shipped to Voya Nui. Perhaps did the Turaga rebuild these Matoran to remedy the flaws that got them sent to Karzahni?
6. Did Karzahni and Artahka wear masks before fighting for the Mask of Creation? I ask because before their fight there is no mention of Karzahni being a poor builder, but his mask doesn’t exactly scream “craftsmanship.”
7. After Karzahni failed to obtain the Mask of Creation, he proved unable to create anything useful or beautiful, as evidenced by his mask, his “fixed” Matoran, and his uncanny tendency to scavenge for weapons rather than arming himself and his Manutri with weapons of his own. Perhaps could he have proved himself as great a builder as Artahka had he maintained confidence in his ability to perform without that mask? Or was he simply an inferior builder even before the mask came into the picture?
8. Could Brutaka’s desperate desire for the Antidermis virus be considered an addiction, even if just a psychological rather than a physiological one?
9. Did Botar serve the Order more out of loyalty to them, or out of an altruistic desire to serve the will of Mata Nui? When he shipped Brutaka to the Pit he seemed thoroughly convinced that it was right in spite of his respect for Axonn and Brutaka., and not just an unfortunate assignment. My brother and I are sort of at odds over this.
10. Is it right to assume that, for example, the Toa Mahri sets are to relative scale with one another, even if not necessarily to scale with past or future sets? For instance, in the sets Hewkii and Kongu are shorter than Hahli, who is shorter than Jaller and Nuparu. Even if their heights don’t vary by the same amount as they would appear to in the sets, would they still vary in the same way (i.e. Kongu is shorter than the others, even if not by as much as it would appear in the sets)?
Thanks in advance.
1. Toa of Stone can control solid rock-like Protodermis, Toa of Ice can control solid ice-like Protodermis, and Toa of Water can control liquid protodermis. Are these types of Toa also able to create these types of Protodermis as they can with their element’s non-Protodermis namesake?
1a. If the Toa is familiar with both the Protodermis and non-Protodermis versions of their element, can they decide which version to create?
2. Do the Bohrok have other tasks besides clearing the island of Mata Nui? It seems to me that with nests extending below Metru Nui, there are far more Bohrok than are needed for that task alone.
3. In the VNOLG there were nine different types of Burnak: Fire, Air, Water, Stone, Earth, Ice, Desert, Protodermis, and Stronghold. Are all these breeds of Burnak canon? Mostly curiosity here; I don’t have enough knowledge of the game to ask questions on what differences the breeds might have.
4. Is the planet surface the only place where non-Protodermic water, stone, and ice can be found?
5. On BS01 the Other “Fixed” Matoran page shows images of two frail-looking Matoran from Karzahni’s realm, both pictures gotten from the Karzahni chapter of BIONICLE World. However, I was under the impression that Karzahni shipped away all the Matoran he fixed and from then on just enslaved the “broken” Matoran who needed fixing without modifying them. Which is the case?

1) Yes, what do you think the Toa Metru were creating?
2) Nope
3) Yes
4) So far as we have seen, yes. There wouldn't be any in the Matoran universe
5) Some were shipped out, his initial "fixes," but he continued to experiment on the other Matoran who were still there.
5b) See answer to 5
6) No, they were fighting over the Mask of Creation
7) I simply don't see him as having the natural talent Artakha has. You could give me every LEGO piece in the world but if I can't visualize a model and how it fits together, having the resources to build it won't matter.
8) Yes, but obviously one he can control
9) Both. He serves the Order because he believes what they are doing is right. Loyalty to them is the same as loyalty to the will of Mata Nui, to him.
10) Since I am not a set designer, this is not something I feel qualified to comment on.
BTW, who's Vincent Price?
OMG, I can actually see Krika having that voice! It makes him sound old and wise, but evil, too.
Anyway, my questions:
1) SPOILERS
2) Why would a Toa find the Shelek a mask they wouldn't want to wear?
3) SPOILERS
4) In the fight with the Mahri, do you think Kardas would recognize them?
5) Do you think we might see one of the Makuta in the OoOM/BoM take on the Makuta-Nui form?
6) How many Toa are left in the universe?
6a) How many do we know?
7) When is ComicCon this year?
8) What is this I hear about an "emergancy EU meeting"?
9) Do you think we will see any more Toa in the serials this year?
10) Do you believe Kardas can be tamed?
11) Whatever happened to the Rahi Nui?
12) If you could design a Toa of Iron, what would it look like?
13) Would you consider Iron more powerful than Earth or Stone?
14) Will we see the conclusion of the Colesium attack in DM#10?
15) What will the Hagah serial be like? Or what will it be about?
16) Has Axonn's visitor been revealed yet?
17) What about the OoMN spy in the DH's?
18) What will become of the Piraka?
18a) SPOILERS
18b) Of Vezon, Roodaka, Lariska, Brutaka, and Spiriah when FoF is done?
Thanks for your time!
1) SPOILERS
2) Has less to do with its power and more to do with the fact that it is a mask associated with Makuta.
3) SPOILERS
4) I doubt it.
5) I don't have plans for that right now.
6) You can probably count up the number you know. There are a little over 50 left in the universe.
7) 7/23-7/27
8) I have no idea. I made a reference to a project I am doing for Europe that is an "emergency" in the next two weeks, but there is no meeting involved.
9) Yes, you'll see the Hagah
10) Well, Vezon did it
11) Still stuck
12) I am not a designer, so I'm the wrong person to ask this
13) Iron would be more durable, but not necessarily stronger than stone
14) Last chapter of DM is 9, and yes
15) I cannot discuss future storyline
16) No
17) No
18) Imprisoned
18b) Roodaka and Spiriah will probably go to the Pit; Lariska will go back to Odina; Brutaka will go to Daxia; Vezon will most likely be imprisoned on Daxia
That's what I just said, but yeah, you should ask him, I was considering, but he doesn't seem to get mine anymore or they get buried in his inbox or something...
How is that a summer spoiler? The leader says nothing about that in the book.
I like Mazeka. Cool set and he helps the Order.
1.What about the Dark Mirror and Journey of Takanuva universe, do they have different time flows?
1) Nope
3. Are the Toa Nuva aware that their protosteel weapons could pierce a makuta's armor? Or have they never been told about it?
3) I am sure they are aware of it, but Toa rarely engage in a lot of melee combat. When fighting a Makuta, who is stronger than you are, it makes more sense to fight from long range.
4. How easily can protosteel pierce an object made of protosteel? (say, two protosteel swords hit, would one cut through the other but be damaged, would they both be destroyed, or both damaged?)
4) Same ease with which something made of iron can piece something else made of iron.
5. What does Krakua not know that a real Order member would?
5) A lot. He hasn't been a Toa that long or involved with the OOMN that long. All he knows is what they feel he needs to know right now.
6. How did the Order turn Krakua into a toa, exactly?
6) Hasn't been revealed, cause it's really not important to the story how they did it.
1.Yeah, I can't post the original questions due to there being spoilers, but he said that time flows faster in the Kingdom universe (I'll post the whole thing when Spoilers are allowed)
3. I just wondered since they never said anything about threatening a makuta with them
4. Wondered how valuable armor made of protosteel would be against a protosteel weapon user
5. Just wondered since he is their messenger and all
6. Aww....'Course, the better question might be how they knew to choose him to be a toa
Well, since others have asked about the Nynrah on Xia and all
1) No, it simply means there are some Nynrah other places besides their own island. We never said they were confined to Nynrah.
1. So, does that mean that, in the Dark Mirror universe, the four dozen Nynrah Tuyet had killed were from many different places? Or were they just the ones she knew where to find?
1) They were the ones on Nynrah at the time
So there are probably more than four dozen Nynrah.
1) Nope

Okay, I just have some questions that have been bugging me
1.Nynrah were on Xia, spoiler stuff. Does this mean that the nynrah ghosts no longer live on Nynrah, have the place one is to leave building requests located on Xia, or something else?
Thank you for your time.

And that for the moment is interesting. Who will guard Metru Nui if the Mahri leave?

Yes, Mazeka works for the Order, though I do not believe he is a full member. This is already known, though, so not much point in posting it.

To clear something up...
6) "built by the Nynrah crafters of Xia" This sentence appeared in the book as well as in the recent UK and German LEGO Magazines. Based on what we know about the Nynrah, this isn't true, since the Nynrah Ghosts weren't from Xia but from Nynrah. So what's the storyline explanation for this statement?
NtM
6) Wrong. All it says is "of Xia" -- that doesn't mean "all Nynrah live there." All it means is some Nynrah migrated there because there's a lot of work to be had there. It's like my saying, "This board was designed by the BIONICLE fans of Pittsburgh" -- doesn't mean all BIONICLE fans are in Pittsburgh.
3) So by whom were they created? Artakha? Mata Nui?
6) Are those Nynrah still living on Xia? Or did they just come to build the Ghostblasters and left?
3) Artakha, Mata Nui was not yet active at that time.
6) Most likely still there.
Maybe someone would like to update the Nynrah Ghost and Toa Mata pages on BS01?

Whoa, Artakha can make Toa? That's really interesting.
Edit Also question 1 contains a spoiler.
Also, I don't think simply leaving out the name of the character is sufficient. It's still a spoiler, so I would leave out questions 1-5 entirely.
While on the topic, why even post things like "1. SPOILER" anyway? Just take them out and save up some space and reading time.
What comic? Is it out on Bionicle.com? I heard it was a web only comic.
No, it's not that comic, you'll find this one in General Discussion.

I have just a few questions I hope you can answer for me, Mr.F:
1. Was Spinax mutated by the mutagen in the Pit at all, or did he always look the way he did?
3. Why wasn't Makuta Teridax affected by the mutagen in the Pit?
4. Can Skakdi or Vortixx wear Kanohi masks?
5. Would it be possible for noble versions of the Makuta's masks to exist? ( Ex: a Noble Shelek)
Thank You for your time
~Bandoo~
1) I would assume he was
3) He was protected by the Maxilos armor.
4) Skakdi, no. Vortixx, if they chose to, they probably could
5) I doubt it. Makuta have no use for lesser powered masks.
4 is interesting to me, too bad I can't post 2 due to spoilers...

Vortixx can use Kanohi, someone should put that on BS01
Here's a follow-up question about the Vortixx/ Kanohi thing:
4) It's possible, if they had the proper mental discipline. I certainly think Roodaka could.
So yeah, someone should put that on BioSector01. I would myself but I'm not a member.
Edit: That was fast, thanks to whoever put this on there so soon.

No, they're not. But it's also a comic spoiler which is allowed in spoiler tags.
