Since antidermis is a gas in its natural state, would one be able to technically lower the temperature of antidermis so much that it could become a liquid, or even a solid?

---

It already has appeared in story as a liquid and a solid.

1. Could a Toa use a Mask of Telepathy to find out the Shadowed One's name (and then keep it to himself/herself, as in Time Trap the Shadowed One is shown to hate his name being mentioned)?

2. How did Velika obtain Lesovikk's dagger?

3. How come the Vahki are your least favorite characters?

4. Who was your favorite Bionicle comic artist?

5. I know that you didn't create a name for the "Kratana" Krana/Kraata hybrids in Time Trap and Maze of Shadows. Was there anything, other than the Shadowed One and Teridax, that you chose a secret name for?

6. Did you or anyone on the story team think of a name for the gold skinned being/Skakdi fusion?

7. You said earlier that an Infected Mask on Spherus Magna would make a Matoran "like Ahkmou", since there are no evil Makuta anymore. What would that same Infected Mask do to a Rahi? Or a Glatorian?

8. Where is Nektann now, after the Battle of Bara Magna?

1) It's possible, but I doubt TSO thinks about his real name all that often. It's past.

2) Stole it, I would assume

3) They had no personalities at all.

4) I didn't really have a favorite, they were all easy to work with

5) No

6) The story team really had nothing to do with the serials. But by the time the fusion was invented, there were really no good names left on the approved name list.

7) Glatorian can't wear Kanohi, so that part doesn't matter. I would assume on a Rahi it would make them more aggressive and nasty.

8) Probably out in the desert somewhere

When a Makuta shape-shifts into another form does it still retain all 42 of its powers? Or does it have to return to its original form to access them?

It does retain its powers.

Hi again, Greg.  What was your favorite "book" of BIONICLE?

---

I have a soft spot for 2004, not because it was necessarily the best story we told, but because that was the first year I was doing books. (Speaking of which, December 1st is actually the 10 year anniversary of my first BIONICLE book, Tales of the Masks.)

Its a Fantasy/Adventure book. I'm at the end, but it starts and finishes too quickly.

The transitions are one of the main spots I'm having trouble with at the moment. I'm reading through it, and it's too... I'm not sure what, acctually. Here's one bit of it, to show you:

Jammers

Kaylee didn't answer straight away. Her mind was whirling. How did The Lady Of the Stars know that she was going to ask who her father was? How did the Lord Shenton kill the Shadow King? How was it that no one told her who her parents were? But soon she found her voice and asked another question.

“What is happening now?” she asked. “What is happening that I need to know about?”

The Lady Of the Stars smiled. “Look into the Stone Mirror, and you will see.”

Kaylee stepped forwards uncertainly. Annatar stepped back, a smile on her face. With another look at the Lady Of the Stars, Kaylee looked at the Stone Mirror.

The water was smooth, not a ripple going over it. It reflected the wonderful sky above, which was aflame with reds, oranges, and pinks. And then it slowly began to change.

 

That's just one bit, to give you a taste of it.

I actually think that sounds quite good, .Lucy.

On the end -- did you feel you ran out of space? I have had that problem when I am writing to a word count and I get to the climax and I don't have enough room to finish it. That is why I often write the end of my books first.

Hey Greg, 

 

i want to thank you for all the work you did on Bionicle, it will always be a special part of my childhood. You should see my room! i still have my collection displayed, i do have a few questions. Ive never used a forum before so forgive me if i post this incorrectly.

 

1) Would you have liked to do more with the Maori language if there had not been the legal problems?

2) Why Island setings? did that have to do with the Maori languge choice too?

3) Do you have a lot of the Bionicle sets?

4) When you began the story in 2001 did you know already about the giant Mata Nui robot? How far ahead were you developing the Bionicle world at that time? 

5) The upcoming LEGO movie is made to look like a stop motion. Would you like to have seen the Bionicle movies done in a similar way? I would have! 

6) This may be bordering on a spoiler question but its worth a shot, do you know if Bionicles will have any involvment in The LEGO Movie, even a fun little cameo? 

 

Thank you!

1) No. In the past, if I was doing universe creation, we made up words when we needed to.I don't know why they chose to use an existing language for BIONICLE.

2) No idea, I did not create BIONICLE, it was created before I came to work for LEGO Company

3) Some

4) Yes, the Mata Nui is a robot thing was in the first story bible.

5) I don't think so, no. Stop-motion makes sense for  movie focused on minifigures in a LEGO world, but BIONICLE was very different from that.

6) I have not seen the finished film, so I don't know.
