I support underused hues. *thumbs-up sign* Especially purple and teal.

I took a break from the library to work on other projects, which I badly wanted to finish, and look what happened.

Such a shame. I will just have to put more effort into finishing up and making a return.

Not the pink tape. He doesn't deserve it.

The pessimists are more likely to live longer because they work harder at improving the world. Whereas optimists deceive themselves about the state of the world and do nothing.

I am going to have to respectfully disagree here. Women and men have different interests in a relationship, which are not equal or the same, and those differing interests should be respected.

Here, let's make this a little easier to read:

 

In the wake of the new animation appearing on BIONICLE.com, I am of course getting loads of PMs with questions. So I thought it would save time to just answer them here. I am going to put the answers in spoiler tags, so if there is a question you don’t want to know the answer to, you can skip it. So let’s get started:

 

1. How tall is Mata Nui?

The conservative estimate I have seen from the story team is about 40 million feet high.

 

 

2. Is Mata Nui the Matoran universe?

Yes. The actions of 2004-2008 all took place inside the Great Spirit. The action of 2001-2003 took place on the surface of Mata Nui’s “face”. Since Mata Nui is not normally laying still, that explains why Matoran were never meant to live outside the domes.

 

 

3. Why did Mata Nui have trees, rivers, etc. on his face??

One of Mata Nui’s jobs -- though not his main one -- was observation of other worlds. To achieve this, he had the ability to conceal himself underwater and camouflage himself with something resembling local flora. In the case of this incident, the Great Cataclysm damaged the EP system and caused a wild growth of plant life without the system really being triggered.

 

 

4. What were the Bohrok for?

When it came time for Mata Nui to move onto another world, the Bohrok would clean the “camouflage” off so he could operate efficiently. This also had the effect of loosening/weakening the stone/soil base the plant life grew on, so it would fall away when Mata Nui rose.

 

 

5. Is Mata Nui a robot?

That is an accurate term in that his body is fully mechanical, not bio-mechanical, but he is much more than how we define robot. He is alive; he is intelligent; he can think, feel and reason. In that respect, it can be argued he is more of a “synthezoid”-- a living being made of artificial parts.

 

 

6. Does Mata Nui wear a Kanohi mask?

 

No, he does not.

 

 

7. What was Mata Nui’s main job?

This gets dealt with in future story.

 

 

8. Why didn’t the Toa/Matoran/Turaga etc. know they were inside Mata Nui?

Well, some of you might remember the old story about all of Earth’s universe being a microbe inside the bloodstream of a larger being -- and if that were the case, how would you know?

 

 

9. Was Mata Nui always on this planet?

No, he was not.

That’s all I can think of for now, but I am sure these answers will prompt other questions.

Good call. I would have done the same, I think.

Why does this not have a topic in M&M? I demand a topic in M&M!

I second this demand. That forum could use some activity. Not a bad revamp, either.

A knowledge of Bionicle canon may prevent such unpleasant expriences.

Programming stuff. Easy when you start, gets complicated fast. Good luck.

Thanks for the answer. I'm still trying to get my head around it, but excellent work nonetheless.

Ow. I have a headache. Even whipping out the logical structuring techniques didn't work for this one.

You will always be iBrow, iBrow. You might as well accept your amazing identity, instead of trying to avoid it by changing your name.

The ceiling. I'm sure there is some electric wires, concrete, and maybe a vent shaft. Then there is a ton of air, oxygen, nitrogen, etc. And beyond that, stars and planets and lots of empty space.

That's what's up.

I think that MOC is great, but keep in mind that this contest was decided by polls, not creative merit (which is in the eye of the beholder). Popularity contests aren't good - everybody loses.

Darker green = better.

Darker green = characteristic Tekulo.

There's an opinion.

$$.

B6.

Logic always works as a good backup.

Just don't burn yourself with the soldering iron.

Is that another note from the old forums?

How do apes answer questionnaires?

*shakes head*

Having all those problems in one place is already helping, I see.

I would post it as a short epic. I got away with that once not so very long ago.

But do revise it first. You may find some stuff to cut or add in that may make your decision for you.

Try this then:

There's a problem?
