I'm evidently having some trouble with my PM thing, so I'm sending these again.

 

1) What's your personal opinion on the Toa Jovan "set"?

2) Were the canisters that the six Piraka found the ones the Toa Mata came to Mata Nui in from 2001?

3) When did Makuta kill the Order member that owned the canister Vezon used?

4) In Mask of Light, when Takanuva is carrying Jaller's body, Makuta says something along the lines of "So, it begins, my brother; but soon, it will also end." Would he be referring to the Brotherhood plan/prophecy Zaktan found in Legacy of Evil, or something else?

5) How long has Makuta had the Spear of Fusion?

6) When Zaktan found that utterly disturbing (at least to me) information in the Brotherhood fortress, he thinks that the Brotherhood doesn't know "evil and treachery" until they meet him; I'm assuming he's seriously underestimating the Brotherhood and overestimating himself, correct?

7) Is "Makuta" the actual name of the one we all know and love, or does he have another name? If there's another name, since I seriously doubt you can reveal it at this point, do you know when we'll learn it?

8) Would the "wisps of green energy and dark tendrils" the Piraka didn't notice at Makuta's lair have anything to do with the Antidermis?

9) When you first revealed the fact that Zaktan learned "things", you asked us if we'd be able to piece the puzzle together the same way Zaktan did. I didn't think I needed to do any piecing together when he found that room. What exactly did you mean?

10) When will the instructions for Toa Jovan be up on Bionicle.com?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

1) People need to keep in mind that Jovan is not a "set" -- it's a combo model, so it has to be made out of pieces of the models involved in the combination. It's not going to have new pieces, etc.

2) Yes

3) Within the last 1000 years

4) He was referring to whatever the screenwriter meant at the time. I had nothing to do with the movie, and he had nothing to do with my concept of Makuta's plan.

5) Oh, the Brotherhood has probably had that for ages.

6) Quite possibly But Zaktan has never been known for his modesty.

7) Nope, "Makuta" is a title.

8) It's certainly possible.

9) Okay, then tell me what the plan is.

10) BIONICLE.com has had them for a while and will hopefully get them up ASAP. Since the magazine is probably just starting to hit homes, they have a bit of time left.

Well, for #9, I figured it was pretty straightforward. Let the Matoran believe they had ultimately won, even if it meant a Brotherhood member died, leaving them ignorant in their "victory" so that they wouldn't see what the Brotherhood was really up to. Eventually, to truly give them false hope, they'd let Mata Nui be awakened and then strike, pretty much dominating the Bionicle universe with shadow. Was there an unbelievably subtle part that I missed?

 

Basically, yes -- strike how? They already have Mata Nui asleep -- how does waking him up help them any?

That's what I was wondering, but that's what the wall Zaktan found said: "Once the Toa were sufficiently blinded by their seeming success, the true plan would unfold. When it was done, the Great Spirit would be allowed to reawaken... and a reign of darkness would begin that no Matoran ever dreamed of in his most horrifying nightmares."

 

Right -- and the part you are wondering about is the part of the puzzle you guys have to put together.

Aaaaaaahhhhh.... I see it now. Okay then, do you think we have enough info at this point to put it together correctly, or is there info in the future we need to solve it?

 

Not sure. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the theorists on here guess right.
