Hey guys, some interesting stuff.
Hi Greg, just some questions I wanted to know:
1) As you know, all matoran have a special power involving their element. Ko-matoran resistant to cold, Onu-matoran good at see in the dark etc. Well, you have said that Po-matoran are physically stronger, AND can sense weak points in stone, making them expert carvers. You have also said that Fe-matoran are physically stronger, and that is it. Seeing how iron is usually stronger than stone, are Fe-matoran, even if just by a little, stronger than Po-matoran?
2) What do the visors lewa and pohatu have do? Do they call Axalara and Rockoh remotely?
1) Fe-Matoran are not stronger, but do have more endurance
2) They act as targeting HUD
Wow, #2 is pretty cool!
Read it, bro, and you'll love it.

hello Greg,you'd enjoy your birthday.
I was wondering if you can answer these questions.
1)will we meet more makuta in the serials
1)probably
2)are trinuma's ghost blaster made from protosteel?
2)Don't think so,no need for them to be,they're not melee weapons
3)will we find out why vultraz has a fued with mazeka?
3) I can tell you that right now -- Mazeka is in the Order of Mata Nui and Vultraz works for the Brotherhood.
More makuta,HOORAY!!!

Oooo- More Makuta. But from TMC, it sounded like only the Makuta that are now in the Core sided with Teridax. But I wonder if the fued between Vultraz and Mazeka just involves their jobs- is there anything personal in it, too?

The klakk is the cure for Takanuva!
QUOTE
Hi GregF,
Just some quick questions:
1a.What would Takanuva do with his Kanohi Avokhii if he would turn into a Toa of Shadow? I could imagine a Toa of Shadow doesn't like wearing a Mask of Light?
1b. Would it even work?
2a. Could the Ignika "cure" Takanuva's Shadow problem? (By devolving him back or something like that.)
2b. If so, are they any other "cures" known?
3. Not counting red sets, white sets sell the best, right? I mean, we've had some white sets as leaders (Pridak, (Kopaka), Krika) and they seem to get more attention when it comes to promotioning.
Thanks for your time.
1) He wouldn't like it, but might not have the option of changing it depending on where he was
1b) Yes
2a) No, because getting leeched is not a natural evolution.
3) I don't believe so, no. White usually sells someplace in the middle.
2a) Are there any cures known anyway?
2a) Yes, there will be a cure.
QUOTE
Hi GregF,
3 quick questions:
1. Can you tell me anything about the cure (see quote above)? Like when will we found out what it is?
2. I recall a member asking you: "Why did Gali "underestimate" Gorast?" and you answered: "As far as she knows, Takanuva beat an other Makuta pretty easiliy." But then again, all Toa Nuva were beaten pretty easily by Icarax, so, doesn't she recall that?
3. Have you finished writing the first chapters of the Summer serials?
Thanks for your time.
1) Book 11 and November comic
2) But she then cleaned his clock pretty well with a nova blast, even if he did get away. She forced him to flee.
3) I finished part one of the podcast
Hi GregF,
1) Can you tell me at least if it's a what or a who, please?
2) OK, and does Takanuva now (because of visit to Kingdom universe) know that Teradix is still alive?
3) Do you already know how many chapters each respective serial will have?
Thanks in advance.
1) It's the klakk
2) No. The fact that Teridax was alive in The Kingdom doesn't mean anything to our universe -- in that universe, Mata Nui was dead, but he's not in ours.
3) Yes. Podcast has nine, text serials have 10, like always

Just one quick thing... If one of the Toa Mata were to die, would the Plan fail? Or could another team of Toa awaken Mata Nui?
-VK-
Waking him is their destiny, not some other Toa team's, so another Toa team could not do it. And note they are Toa Nuva now, not Mata.
Lol, I called them Mata because I had just posted a short story where they were still Toa Mata.
Good to know, though. Furthers the plot in my pocket dimension...

I remember something in the LEGO magazine (the Brickmaster ad, I think) saying the Klakk had a "secret power" that will "change the course of Bionicle history." So that's the cure for the shadow leeches... Why would a Makuta make a Rahi that could do that?

Some miscellanious stuff here
QUOTE
1.About Miserix. Can we assume that he couldn't use Rahi control power because they are Immune?
1.A. Miserix seemed much darker in FoF than in MC. Was he always like that at heart, or was that from the imprisonment.
2. Why did Mata Nui give the Makuta so many powers if they are only meant to create Rahi? Couldn't he have made a Matoran-llike race instead?
3. Does Mata Nui know that the Makuta attacked him?
Some Geography questions
4. How much of the Bionicle Planet is filled with domes? Like one half? Do the reach the poles?
5. Metru Nui is the northernmost point on the map Right?
6. Is it close or far from Bionicle's equator?
7. Northern or Southern Hemisphere?
8. Is Metru Nui the only dome with a Sun Hole?
8a. A day/night cycle? I ask this one since the S. Continent is lit with lightstones, but those might be "solar powered", and have a Day/night cycle.
9. 2009 Does take place on the Bionicle planet right?
10. What does Bionicle Mean in the Matoran Language? In my opinion it either means Intelligent life, of the name of the Planet.
1) He was weakened by the chains
1a) Seems like a pretty obvious answer, doesn't it? You try being chained up for tens of thousands of years and see how your mood is after.
2) Because a Matoran race with no powers wouldn't be able to control the Rahi they created.
3) Yes
4) I can't discuss this
5) Yes
6-7) Not something I have worried about, because not relevant to story
8) Yes
8a) Other places have a day/night cycle as well
9) All I have said is it does not take place in the domed universe.
10) "Biological chronicle." It is not the name of the planet. The Matoran were never meant to live there, and until the Metru Nui Matoran went to Mata Nui, they never even knew what was outside the domes. So why would they name it?
QUOTE
and some stuff on Takanuva here.
QUOTE
I'm not sure if others have asked you these exact questions, and i'm sorry if i wasste your time,
1. I read on BS01, that when takanuva uses his light power, it will not regenerate, is this true?
1.A. if it is, then that means that when he uses a Nova blast, then he will be left as a Toa of Shadow?
1.B. While the Avhokhi can't enhance his preexisting light powers, could Taka use it as a substitute so he doesn't waste light power?
2. Since the shadow leech attack was incomplete, the shield preventing light is incomplete correct?
2. A. Does this mean in time, his light will be restored?
2. B. If not, will it let in light that he has channeled, like, say he uses half of his light power, leaving him 25% light, 75% shadow, he would slowly absorb light so he's 50-50, right?
3.I read on Taka's Bio in Bionicle.Com, that his light HAS been diminished, I know i read in an ogd that you said he has the same amount as light, just that he controls shadow as well, which is canon?
3.A. Could you say that he can control light and shadow the same as any other toa, but say he fought an actual toa of shadow, he wouldn't have as much power over shadow as him, so the elemental shadows around taka, would respond to the Toa of Shadow. Could it be like that?
4. Journey of Takanuva tells us how Taka looks like a Yeti yes?
4.A. The order is kingdom, journey of taka, ane then DM, right?
4.B. If this order is correct, then how come the Toa of DM, didn't say, "AAAHH YETI!!!" (just as an example.)
4.C. If this order is correct, is it just a coincidence that Tuyet opened a portal to Karda Nui, or did she do it on purpose.
5. If shadow has no moral connotations, then how come that beings use corrupt morals such as anger and hate to channel shadow? Is it because that in peoples minds shadow is bad?
5.A. Say that Makuta were light wielders, would it be the the other way around?
6. Can Matoran channel Shadow?
thank you for taking time in your busy schedule to answer these trivial, unimportant, questions, that are coming from an annoying 15 year old.
1) Correct
1a) IF he used a nova blast, yes, but Toa very rarely ever do that
1b) Yes
2) No. The shield is the first effect of an attack
2a) Not unless something is done to reverse what the leech did.
2b) No
3) BIONICLE.com is -- he can't have 50% shadow and still be 100% light
3a) He wouldn't have the skill with shadow that a Toa of Shadow would have because he isn't used to using it.
4) A Yeti? I don't understand you
4a) No. It's JOT, Kingdom, then DM
4b) I still don't get you. Takanuva looks nothing like a Yeti.
4c) She didn't open a portal to Karda Nui. She opened a portal to interdimensional space, through which Takanuva journeyed to get to Karda Nui.
5) Where did I say shadow has no moral connotations?
5a) Moot point, since they're not. Sorry, but I have too many people asking questions to spend time on hypotheticals
6) Normal, non-Matoran of Light have no access to any elemental ability.

Some stuffs:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
1) We know that Plasma can incinerate a Makuta's essence, but can Fire?
2) Did Helryx mean what she said when she said: "I would recruit Dark Hunters and Pit Prisoners if I thought it would bring the Makuta down."?
3) So, do you think we could see some Dark Hunters, and a few Pit Prisoners? (Or Lesovikk, Sarda, and Hydraxon II?)
4) Do you think a Mask of Adaptation would be a possible power?
5) Do you think we could see Kardas in the serials?
6) Could Karzahni's mind be restored?
7) Will we see the Niazesk anytime soon?
8) I asked this before: At the end of Bionicle Legends #10, when Krakua and Helryx were talking, what did they mean by "Should we have told him about what was going to happen to him, and about his true destiny?"
9) Will we see Tren Krom again?
10) Do you think Brutaka, Miserix, Axonn, and Trinuma will be in the OoMN/BoM serials.
11) Krika's special power is intangibilty, Gorast's is her light-draining stinger (I think), so what is Bitil's?
1) If it's hot enough, yes
2) Yes. This is war.
3) I haven't decided yet, but keep in mind Lesovikk and Hydraxon can't breathe air, so won't be of much use.
4) It's possible, sure
5) I doubt it
6) Who would want to bother?
7) They aren't going to play a big role, no
8) It means they have a pretty good idea of what could happen and how bad it is going to be
9) I have no plans for him right now.
10) See answer to #3
11) Krika's special power is not intangibility -- all Makuta can control their density. And Bitil's hasn't been revealed yet, mainly because it isn't going to figure into story.
Okay, thanks! But I need these cleared up:
3) But Brutaka, Carapar, and Takadox were all water-breathers, but they were given breathing apparatus', so can't the same be done for those three?
11) Ok, was Krika's the enviromental drain, which was why it was so cold around him?
3) Possibly, yes, but I have to keep control of how many characters I cram into this serial.
11) Krika's is the entire draining of energy thing, including the environment, which he has to do to keep from going permanently intangible.
Not much, but #2 is interesting.

Hello Greg, Doing good?
1) You said that using too much of Takanuva's light would cause him to be fully shadow, correct?
1b) But say he uses allhis shadow power's, does he go alll light?
īThanks in advance,
Koro!
1) Yes
1b) No. When you get attacked by a shadow leech, a psychic shield is put in place which keeps light from returning to you -- that's why shadow Matoran stay shadow Matoran instead of turning back to Av-Matoran. So light will not come to replace shadow that's been used

Hi, Greg, I have some questions that I would like answered:
1) Have you decided which serial is going to be the podcast/blog/normal serial yet?
1a) If yes, can you tell me which is which?
2) Does Icarax rebel against the Brotherhood?
2a) If no, then what does this mean: The Makuta forces had split up. Gorast and Vamprah had gone after Icarax; Krika had vanished; Mutran, too, was nowhere in sight; and as soon as he spotted Takanuva, Antroz had sent Bitil and Chirox after him. That left Antroz alone against Lewa, Pohatu and Kopaka.
3) Why did Lego decide to start doing serials for Bionicle?
4) Will Takanuva complete his destiny this year?
5) Does Mata Nui have a destiny?
5a) How about Toa Ignika?
Thank you for your time.
1) Yes, OOMN-BOM war will be the podcast
2-2a) I can't discuss future storyline. You'll find out what that means when Bionicle Legends 11 comes out.
3) Basically, because we were doing fewer comics and this gave us a chance to tell story on a more regular basis.
4) Can't answer it
5-5a) All things have a destiny.
Meh, nothing new.

Hi GregF,
I hope you don't mind answering these questions, there about the transformation from Av-Matoran to Bohrok:
1) If an Av-Matoran becomes a shadow matoran, does he become a Bohrok at the end of his life?
2) How does it get decided wich element you get as a Bohrok when you transform?
3) If Takanuva dies, does he become a Bohrok, or maybe something else (since he's a toa)?
Thanks for your time,

1) I haven't decided. At this point, it's not relevant, because we won't see a shadow Matoran in that situation in this year's story.
2) Your destiny

Just some stuff on the makuta's motivation
QUOTE
Thanks for reading this, i have a question
1) in comic 13, krika says that the Toa must die because the makuta envy them. But i thought that the makuta thought of the toa as worthless Bugs. Please explain
1a) Does just Krika envy Toa, or the whole brotherhood
1b) Is the reason Makuta envy toa the reason pulled his plot in 04' to be like a toa
1c) Why do the makuta wake up mata nui, they can do what they want now, due to mata nui being asleep
1d) If the makuta tricked mata nui into think the makuta awakened him and saved is life with the ignika, would mata nui spare them?
1) Simple. Both the Toa and the Makuta were, at one time, doing the same job -- protecting the Matoran. The Toa did it because it was the right thing to do, because they are noble at heart and heroes. The Makuta were not any of those things and could only pretend to be. And most people hate others who genuinely are what they can only pretend to be.
1a) I think most of the other Makuta are not self-aware enough to realize the roots of their hatred for the Toa.
1c) Follow the story and find out
1d) Not possible. Mata Nui knows who attacked him in the first place.

1) It's in an energy storm when Mata Nui is awake and active. Mata Nui was ill, which is why it was needed in the first place
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11) We haven't told the story of Jovan's team's adventure, so none of this info exists. I basically don't have time to flesh out stories I am not going to tell anywhere.
9) No. They did not act to protect Voya Nui, they only went there to get the mask and then left.

As the title suggests, I have a small theory of the Sundial's purpose in Karda Nui:
It's known that the Sundial has a connection with the Cordex, and it's also known that the T vehicles are somwhere inside the Cordex.
I believe that the Sundial acts as some sort of 'key' that unlocks the area in the Cordex where the T vehicles are being kept.
Am I close?

No, sorry.

It's a good theory, but if it were true, wouldn't it have made more sense to just give the sundial to the Toa Nuva to bring with them, since they are the ones who have to use the vehicles?

Hi
As the title suggests, I have a small theory of the Sundial's purpose in Karda Nui:
It's known that the Sundial has a connection with the Cordex, and it's also known that the T vehicles are somwhere inside the Cordex.
I believe that the Sundial acts as some sort of 'key' that unlocks the area in the Cordex where the T vehicles are being kept.
Am I close?
-Thank
No, sorry.
I also got another PM from him about a minute later:

It's a good theory, but if it were true, wouldn't it have made more sense to just give the sundial to the Toa Nuva to bring with them, since they are the ones who have to use the vehicles?
Why are there 2 different answers to the same questions?

Hi Greg, it's me, Valtika again, hope your doing good.
Some Makuta questions.
1) Can Makuta form a Kaita?
2) In Bionicle Legends 10, you wrote twice that Gorast was breathing. Does she have organics again?
2a) Do the other Makuta have organics to?
3) Does Bitil's Long Swords have a name?
4) Are you going to reveal the Makuta's regions by the end of the year?
4a) Just a thought, could Chirox be the Makuta of Xia?
4b) Could Antroz be the Makuta of Stelt?
-Non Makuta Questions-
5) Is Rockoh's blaster a prototype Midak?
6) Will Trinuma's mask power be in the OoMN-BoM serial?
6a) Is it a mask we know of?
1) Yes, but they never do
2) Gorast is breathing because of the effects of the mutagen on her, has nothing to do with organic tissue
3) No
4) Depends on if I have time or not. Right now, I don't
5) I always just call it a "blaster cannon"
6) Yes, most likely
7) Haven't decided

Hey there, Mr. Farshety. Hope you're doing good. I had a few questions that I hope you can answer for me.
1. BS01 says that Rahi have no reserves of light, but in Bionicle Legends#10, Gorast mentions that she has to feed off the light of Rahi to sustain her. Is the Light/Shadow balance in Rahi so minimal that it does not affect their judgement, or do they really have no light?
2. If Metru Nui is the northernmost island, then what is the North Continent?
3. Is Artakha naturally a good craftsman, or is it his mask that affords him this talent?
4. Has Helryx ever met Artakha in person?
Thanks in advance if you can answer any of these questions.
1) It's microscopic, basically
2) Northern continent is south of Metru Nui -- Metru Nui is not big enough to be a continent. It's like if you had Hawaii at the top of the world and then Australia south of it -- Australia would be the northernmost continent.
3) He's naturally skilled
4) It's certainly possible

Hi Greg.
I just have a few quick Questions for you.
1) Concerning the Klakk being the cure for Takanuva being leeched, Would it be safe to assume that the Klakk species is the cure for the leeched Av-Matoran?
2) Can you give me any info how that process works?
3) Which Vehicle has the highest Engine Power, T3, T6, or T9?
4) Will we be seeing Khakra or the Tahtorak in the BoM/OoMN War?
5) Do you plan on revealing any information on the Toa in the Shadowed One's lair that is in Suspended Animation? Such as Name, Element, or how he was trapped?
6) Will the Shadowed One's name be revealed?
7) Is Vamprah ever going to talk? Scream?
8) Will we see any Dark Hunters in the OoMN/BoM war?
Thanks,

I have some Ignika questions, among others. Also, why haven't you been responding to my questions lately? My PM system is fine, and I've sent valid questions I think deserve an answer. This has been happening for over the past few months.
1. Did the Ignika speed up Dekar's evolution rate, or did he just get transformed into Hydraxon.
1) Transformed. Matoran do not naturally evolve into beings like Hydraxon.
1b. If it's the former, does that mean that destined/every single Matoran will eventually evolve into Hydraxon's species one day?
No
2. Is "Glatorian" the name of Hydraxon's species?
I have no idea where you would get that from. Glatorian is a 2009 term, and we are not in this universe in 2009, so it has nothing to do with any domed universe species
3. Could you please include Vezon in the war, or somewhere? Loads and loads of Vezon fans won't be able to take the fact that Vezon will be locked up forever in a dark, dank cell.
We'll see
4. Could you also feature the Matoran-rahi hybrid? That thing was cool.
I doubt it
5. Can Brutaka summon creatures from different dimensions to help in the war, including the Zivon and the creatures that eat shadow?
No.
6. Will the war rage around island to island?
It will take place in more than one setting
7. Could Kardas maybe make an appearance again? With Vezon riding it?
Kardas has been captured by the Toa Metru, so he will most likely not be a factor
8. If Krika had the chance, even at the cost of his own life, would he seize the opportunity to redeem himself by doing a noble act for the Matoran?
No. Krika is not noble. Krika is realist. Krika doesn't believe the Plan will benefit him, nor will it's failure benefit him. He's not a good guy, he's just looking out for himself first.
Thanks Greg! I appreciate it. ^^ Also, late Happy Birthday! Nothing big. That's awesome that Klakk are the cure for the light drains..glad I MOCed one. In fact, I could probably make a few more. I'm also pretty sure he meant Mahri, not Metru.

WOW
1st 2009 term revealed! Now we know it's official!
Hmmm.... I guess there are more tribes/lands/ or at last more area's, or something like that. And not something like Po-metru, Ta-Koro, or 'Glator' is the 2009 location, and residents didn't have a name like Matoran, but more like 'American'.

QUOTE
7) No
Actually, Vamprah already did scream in BL9. The Phantoka Toa Nuva used the Kakama Nuva to speed up and vibrate their molecules to go through solid objects, but turned somewhat solid just as they were passing through Chirox and Vamprah, mixing up their Antidermis. They both screamed in pain.

can understand if you can't answer these, but you may be able to because I don't think they'd give away storyline much.
1. I know we will be in another universe in '09, but does that necessarily mean we won't have Toa, Matoran, Makuta, etc.?
2. Does Teridax and Takanuva's destiny span beyond 2009?
Thank you, Greg!
I can't answer these, I'd get fired
Didn't think those were that storyline-important.

Hi Mr. Farshtey, I just have a few questions.
1. I just read the new Taka blog entry, is the sundial's purpose to lead to the codrex?
2. Does the 4 o'clock marking on the sundial play any major role, or was it just in the MNOG?
3. Is Mata Nui (being) as big as Mata Nui (island)?
4. How many of the serials do you have done?
Thanks in advance!
1) Yes
2) Just in MNOG
3) I've already said all I can about the size of Mata Nui
4) I don't write the serials completely ahead of time, I do them one chapter at time

Hello Greg,
1) If Jovan's team used the Ignika in Karda Nui and the energy storms became active again after that, how did they survive?
2) How large is the southern continent approximately? The size of a country, or more like a continent?
3) Will The OOmN-BOM war take place during the mistika-phantoka saga or after that?
4) Can the Mistika still make Rahkshi?
5) Do the makuta know about the Klakk's ability?
Thanks again.
1) They left. Energy storms are not like lightbulbs that you turn on and they are instantly full strength - it takes time to build to full strength
2) I don't have this info
3) During
4) Since there is no EP in Karda Nui, not an issue
