Better go edit BS01

That is interesting. An army of multi-colored skakdi. Scary.

3. I was thinking it would be giving Mata Nui a "shock" of Life energy. Oh well.

Just something i thought i'd post.

Just thought I would share this with everybody.

If the Makuta were to die in the core, would that stop the countdown?


Would probably depend on the status of things elsewhere. If they all die in the core, but things get infinitely worse somewhere else -- like, let's say, Metru Nui -- then the universe would still be out of balance

Is the universe out of balance anywhere as of now?


Somewhat, in a lot of places

Some Powerlink stuffs from greg.

09 info, not sure if i should post it, but i'll put it in a Spoiler

1) Just a quick question that confused me...
2) Darn...
3) Just trying to figure out why the GBs didn't just keep Av-Toran instead of making other tribes...
4) Augh...
5) Hmm...
6) Well, he said doubt, not won't
7) I meant like with Matoro and Jovan's Team member...
8) Now I know how to try to get him to this area!



-Kohila

hey greg hope your moving is going well. I have a couple of Questions.

1) Is Krika the only Makuta who's pride isn't a curse to him?

2) If there was still a Spear of Fusion, Can it fuse masks together that way you can access both masks?
- Is there a chance there is a Mask of Fusion?

3) I am guessing when the Order tried to give Jebraz a power up-grade, there might of been one or two other members to have something go wrong?
- Or was it just a quirk in his species?

4) I am guessing now that they got information out of Zaktan, The rest of the Piraka are now in the pit?

5) Is Helryx older than the Makuta species?

6) Is there a chance we might see Takadox in "Dwellers in the Dark"?

7) Will we know what the "Grand Plan" is by the end of the year?

8) In the "Kingdom", how much did the island of Mata-Nui Grow?
- was the 09 universe flooded as well?
- say some creature mutated by the mutagen found the Codrex and activated it.... would anything happen now that Karda Nui is flooded in that dimension?

9) Did the Great Cataclysm affect the 09 Universe?

1) I don't see him as being spared that -- he is just proud and cynical
2) Since there is no Spear of Fusion, it really doesn't matter, and no, there is no Mask of Fusion I am aware of
3) Unknown
4) They haven't gotten the information yet -- if he just handed it all over, they wouldn't need to carry him around.
5) I would have to check the timeline, not sure
6) I don't know yet
7) Yes
8) A lot
8a) No
8b) Highly doubtful a creature would have the sense to assemble the keystones and get through the force field, etc.
9) No

At least we know that the Spear of Fusion will never return, and there isn't a mask of fusion... though We already new that. I also wanted to see two masks be fused together...

Just a quick interesting bit on 09:


AN

Well, taking that answer into account, if the 2009 characters are biomechanical (they probably will be, the story IS named "Bionicle" after all), then it would be really intriguing as to how their "universe" wasn't made by the great beings since the GBs made the biomechanical life in our current realm.

-Z

1) Krika has no loyalty to the Plan, as such. But he sees no reasonable alternative to it either. His expectation is that he loses either way. At this point, if you scrap the Plan and Mata Nui awakens, odds are he will all the Makuta as punishment.

2) Other that what? What else do you think might be there?

3) T-series vehicles were made by Artakha. Lightstones were made by the Great Beings.

4) No, because no new form of the set exists for the artist to draw, nor does the ship shapeshift
4a) No, because again, no other model of Kopaka exists
4b) No. The alt. model is made of existing pieces of Jetrax, Kopaka does not come with that set

5) Matoran universe

6) Can't discuss it

7) Can't discuss it

8) Great Beings do

9) Sorry, I am much too busy to dig up the timeline to figure this out




I thought i has sumthing with 1,4,& 5...darn ..2, 6,& 7 look interesting tho...

Well, now we know that wherever the '09 universe is, it isn't attached to (or in ) the MU.

just somestuff i was pondering

Hi Greg hope the move has been going well for you i sent these before im not sure if you got them so ill send them again just in case

1)is the yellow jetrax just a speed bust?

2)why didn't Takanuva and Toa Ignika enter the codrex with the Toa nuva?

3)is the returning character in 2009 some who has been in all the story's since 01 or someone who has been mentioned since 01?

4)what is the alt model for jetrax is it another vehicle?

5)is the 2008 Bionicle ending sort of like a doctor who season final (for example when the titanic crashed through the tardis in the series 3 final (it shows a glimps at somthing from the next season) so bionicle 2008 finishes then we see somthing or someone from 2009)?

thanks for your time


1) Overall power surge
2) They did.
3) Someone who has been mentioned appeared at some point between 2001-2008
4) Haven't seen it yet
5) Not really, no

"What a boring world it would be if we had answers for all our questions." -- Thomas Raith

That sort of bypasses the "no heroes will die this year".

1.Why was Mata Nui created with a seeming lack of powers when these could be important for his protection? (like the powers the Makuta have?)

2.Can Mata Nui create universes?
b.Travel to other universes?

3.Is there some force on the Bionicle planet which could create a new universe?
b.Could one exist in the future?

Thanks for your time


1) How do you know what powers he has and does not have? We've never seen him active in story. And what did he have to protect himself from? He is larger and more powerful than anything else we have encountered in this universe.
2) No
2b) Mata Nui can travel outside of the domed universe, yes, but he cannot travel to different dimensions the way an Olmak user can. He can travel in the universe that is outside of the domed Matoran universe.
3) No
3b) No

In the first question I was referring to the fact you've confirmed he can't shapeshift, change size etc. His main confirmed power seems to physical strength. The Brotherhood, on the other hand, have lots of different powers. Wouldn't it be useful if he could shapeshift etc.? Does Mata Nui have a lot of different powers (I assume he must to control the universe yet he seems lacking in a number of them)?

Also, could a Great Spirit usurp the Great Beings? Could anything?

1) He has the powers he needs to have -- shapeshifting and changing size would not make sense for him, for example. The BOM has the powers it has because they have to deal with dangerous Rahi all the time. Mata Nui does not. However, I think it is reasonable to assume that Mata Nui could call on the powers of any Toa element, since he is the one who bestows those powers.
2) I don't think so, no

Edit: follow-ups added

I see something debate-worthy there. Mata Nui can travel outside the domed universe. I would assume that confirms that he himself is not the MU

Something about Jetrax

Hi Greg I have one question

1. When Antroz mentioned the Jetrax T6 getting super charged by "energy older than the stars", does he mean about the lightstone he hit to super charge it is actually older than the stars since the great beings made the Codrex and the light stone over 100,000 years ago?

Thanks in advance.


Or the energy in the lightstone is older, as opposed to the lightstone itself

Something simple I asked, makes sense.

I invite anyone who wants to discuss other answers in relation to the Mata Nui=universe theory to do so in my original topic.

Just a random question I sent Greg not so long ago.

New info I think.

Stop talking about Mata Nui, it's really hurting my head.

I'm VERY interested about the new serial, I'm going to ask Greg a few questions.

LOOOOOOOK!



8) No
9) The ability to melt things
13) Mata Nui sets the destinies of the beings he creates
14) I would call him someone who got in over his head and resorted to evil acts to cover up his own incompetence
1) Don't think so
2) If I need to name him for story, I will
3) Teridax, like most Makuta, saw no reason to share his name with inferior beings. Gorast liked the idea of other beings knowing and fearing her name
4) Yes

Now that explains everything. Wondering if my theory about the masp is right...

Thanks a lot Hewkii#1, that's a very important info.

Finally!! All those things that "Mata Nui iz te Univeze" will finish!

How does that disprove that? I mean when you travel do you leave your organs left behind?

It is interesting how he can leave though...ooh I hope he's a set in 09.

I think that Mata Nui is the Character that will return on 2009, hopefully he will be a Set

I'd like to say I'd disproved the MU=MN theory wrong, but I haven't. Greg's second last answer (bolded) is sort of interesting though, since he almost says that he can move around inside the MU.


And with that, I think we should limit our Mata Nui discussion to the Official Mata Nui topic. That is what its for, no?

Unfortunately, that proves nothing. The planet is not the Matoran Universe, so the Universe (MN) could leave the planet, if that theory is correct.

Nice try, DG. Guess we'll have to wait.

But this isn't the place to discuss this. Unless you want the OGD closed, I suggest we move to the Official Mata Nui topic.

On topic, has the server been eating a lot of PMs this week? I sent a PM twice, and Greg still hasn't answered, though it usualy takes him about two days to get back.


Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!

Guys I don't want ET to close this topic
Especially with the inevitable questions and answers about the new podcast about to appear.

I have been volleying PMs with him for the past five minutes
Will post results when done

What I meant was, Greg said that he figured the two things mentioned above it would be the same thing. He may have misinterpreted it though, but I thought it was clear. I agree, we should discuss it elsewhere, so I'll post the same quote in the Mata Nui topic.

QUOTE
A small name idea for a Makuta, I know you don't want to be flooded with possible titbits of theories, but seeing as you are running out of BIONICLE names, I thought this might help.

We have seen a Makuta who a Dark Hunter tried to absorb, one who had his armor cracked during the GC, and more recently a Makuta who interrogated Vezon (I think, haven't heard the podcast yet, but I saw that on BS01) Similar to how the Nektann were named after Nektann, I am thinking that Tridax could be this Makuta's name. He could have worked on the Shadow Leech project, and the design for the pod could have been invented by him, or he could have taken credit for it. If you don't approve, that's okay, I just think this could help conserve names.

Also a small question:
1. Where was the Heart of the Visorak located? My guess is the Tren Krom peninsula, since it is Gorast's assigned location, and the Matoran are certainly afraid of the Makuta, so they definately wouldn't want her army of spiders.
2. Did Helryx know of Takanuva's shadow leech attack? Her comment about "One who walks on both sides" or something along those lines, is kinda suspicious.

Thank you for taking your time for these.

---

I think that's a very good idea.

1) Yes
2) Did she know about it when?

---

YESS!! Cool! Glad i could be of some use.

2. Pervious to the attack, I mean she went to Metru Nui to get Taka, and then recovered him after the attack, and when Taka asked why they needed him, she said the thing about walking on both sides.
3. One more thing, since Makuta don't have lungd now, how do they talk? I assume they use a powered down version of their power scream or sonics power.

---

I can't believe I did it. I hope for a reply on the talking Makuta question.

Hello Mr.Farshtey. I have one question for you. Thanks!

How many Klakk will be in Karda Nui?

Thanks again!


One

Hi,
Cool SAmaster, that's one good idea

@ TheJake: one Klakk?! Great find, wonder how it got there...

LtoF

What...how?! *shakes uncontrolably*

I might resend the PM, but I'm still a little unsure. I do have one thing that's interesting in a prior PM. Hang on...




Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!

Honestly my legs are weak right now at the prospect of what i have done. I thought you had to be a BZ, BS01 veteran to get this stuff approved, but I DID IT!!!!!!!!

I meant this as an actual suggestion, not a theory to be proved, not a way to get something canon, but as a way to help Greg, since he is running out of names, I thought "Why waste one?", and after seeing the one who interrogated Vezon, I thought for sure we would get at least one more Makuta name, and this one makes logical sense, since the Pods and Makuta are DIRECTLY RELATED.

That one Klakk better heal Taka.

LOL! I guess that one Klakk had better get busy...

Well, it looks like that Klakk better bring a loudspeaker! Honestly, I'm not really for naming a Makuta Tridax due to the fact that it's too close to Teridax... But I guess it's okay, seeing that Onua and Onewa were close in pronounciation.

-Kohilå

There might be a problem on that BoM spy thing.

Greg's Inbox is full. I'll wait on that PM; it's probably buried somewhere in there.


Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!

something interesting on Mata nui

Hi Greg

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

thanks for your time


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.


--------------------

"What a boring world it would be if we had answers for all our questions." -- Thomas Raith

Reya

Number one is big.

So does that mean that Mata Nui currently isn't in the MU? If so, it's defiantly pro MN=MU stuff.

Niiice, knew I heard spiky armored Muaka somewhere. Bionicle Legends#6, right? I'm looking forward to that connection...

Okay, the thing is, he didn't say he CAN"T, he said there is no need to. This proves almost nothing, if anything, it proves more that he is not. From the way I read it, it sounded like he was saying he can, but won't or won't need to.It is definately pro nothing, if not pro (not) MN=MU. Let's pretend for a second that he is the MU (Yeah right). Why doesn't Greg just say "no", it reveals less than that. So lets read it subsitiuted by you theory. Black is Greg, red is what I put in:
Mata Nui has no real need to travel inside himself, as his awareness extends throughout himself, and he does not physically intervene in the goings on inside himself, so no real reason to travel about inside himself.


Starting to sound a little fishy, isn't it?
