  1. Short anwer is no.

    Long answer is yes, if you really want it to.

    Basically, it was not meant to be in any official way.

    At this point, it's your own choice to integrate it or not. I honesty think that forcing the Hero Factory Storyline into the Bionicle Storyline is kind of limiting the narrative here. I prefer to imagine my own version of Bionicle's past and future. However, if you like the idea of mixing these two universes, than go ahead. Whatever suits your boat. However, I don't think there will ever be an official statement from Lego or the authors of these series regarding that. It's one of these questions better left unanswered because it fuels our own imagination and freedom to make things play out as we think they would/should. That is the whole idea behind Lego as well. Be creative and build your own universe.

    then why does he says in same scene, after Makuta? says that mask of time isnt completed yet, Dume replies "no, but when the great shadow arrives, vahki will deal with all of the matoran"?

    Well, maybe Dume was not under the impression that the vahki ''dealing'' with the matoran necessarely meant hurting them. It is also notable to say that at that moment in time, Shadow was not considered evil yet. It was going hand in hand with the Makuta species, which at that point were still allies(and very important figures in the universe).

    If Makuta really deceived Dume in thinking the new Toa were truly impostors, then his sentence could simply be interpreted as :

    ''No, the mask isn't complete, but still, when you arrive in Metru-Nui (the great shadow), the Vahki will keep the matoran in line''. A little like how the cops keep the citizen in line during the visit of a notable figure, for diplomacy.

    Eventually Dume may have understood Makuta's true intentions (or not) and was replaced then.

  3. My personnal take on it is that Dume was, for a time at least, is true self, but was forced to work with the Makuta in exchange for the safety of the citizen (or his own). However, at some point, he turned on Makuta, not able to bare with it, and was replaced from that point forward.

    I have heard many different theories involving G1 and G2 being connected ranging from G2 being a training simulator to Mask of Time shenanigans. However I have come up with a theory that I believe fits the canon of both Generations perfectly: They are just parallel universes in the same multiverse. Nothing too complicated and it doesnt rule out the possibility that G1 and G2 characters could hypothetically interact in a lore friendly way.

    Alternate universes, as established in G1, follow a Constants and Variables rule where they always have more in common than they have differences, with those differences always stemming from different, history-changing decisions that certain characters made. G2 has barely nothing in common with G1 at all, besides reusing some names and ideas. The entire worldbuilding is completely different from the ground up, especially since it relies on true magic instead of advanced technology, for starters. There's no Spherus Magna, no Great Beings, no GSR. It can't be a parallel universe if there's hardly no parallels. 

    I, too. do not see the need to connect both canon. However, I like to play the devil's advocate.

    You are right about every universes of the multiverse we visited so far in G1 have more in common than they have differences. However, the multiverse maybe a vast network of hundreds, if not thousands of alternatives universes. We also agree that these universed are mainly ''What-if'' universes based on characters decisions or historical changes. The universes we visited during G1 are implied that the triggering event for these different universes happenend within the last 100 000 years (after the shattering).

    Let's pretend for a minute there that the trigger event that created the G2 universe happened WAY before the Shatteting. Perhaps, even before the Great Beings came into existence (as it is implied that the Agori / Glatorian specie existed prior to the Great Beings arrival). We know very little about the origins of the Great Beings and even less about the origins of the Agori and Glatorians, but we can assume these have more in common with the Okotans, who also biologically reproduce, than with the matorans. Now, what if the names of the six Toa initially originated from Agori legends prior to the Great Beings arrival? Now, what if the triggering event of the G2 branch is none other the the absence of the Great Beings (they for some reason never came into being or never came to Spherus Magna, resulting in no protodermis mining, no war, a different culture all together, with it's own evolution and tech) creating during the course of thousands of years, the society we meet on Okoto, which might be just one island in the middle of an ocean in Spherus Magna (it's never implied that Okoto is the sole place existing on that planet, and it's not mentionned either on what planet it is located). It is very possible that Okoto exist in a very different Spherus Magna that never suffered from the stigmas of g1's spherus magna.

    It is a lot of speculation, but it's just to say that G2 doesn't necessarely break the branching logic of G1'S multiverse if we look deep enough.

  5. Same question.

    Also, I have a few masks you might be interested in. 

    On the top of my head,  the orange Mahiki, silver kakama, white pakari.

    I have many more spares so I'll check them out.

    Also, I may have a protodermic pakari nuva up for sale eventually, but you know how much these are worth.
