What's your opinion on the voice casting in the Invasion From Below webisode? From what I've heard of it, it doesn't sound that good.

Have not seen it yet.

Why did Takua rename himself Takanuva when he became a Toa? Did it have something to do with how he felt when Jala's, Maku's, and Huki's names were changed (to Jaller, Macku, and Hewkii respectively)? I recall that Takua felt upset over his lack of recognition for helping defeat the Bohrok-Kal, and as a result changed his crab Puku's name to Pewku. Was there a behind-the-scenes reason as well?

If you do not plot your tales ahead of time, then why did it take a couple or so years before we found out that the Red Star revives dead beings?

1) Two reasons. One, it was a tribute to the Toa Nuva. And two, if we had kept his name Takua, everyone would have known who the Toa of Light was as soon as they saw a product list for summer 2003. 2) I don't understand your question.

If the Red Star was supposed to resurrect dead beings, then why do the Tryna and Mask of Undeath exist?

If Sidorak gets out of the Red Star, would he be angry at Roodaka?

Was TSO's name on the story team's approved names list?

The Vahi was made from the 6 Great Disks (power level 9), which each had the powers of Enlarge, Regenerate, Weaken, Freeze, Teleport, and Reconstitute at Random. If 6 normal Disks with those same powers were made into a Great or Noble Mask, what power do you suppose the mask would have? It wouldn't have the Legendary power of Time, because if it did, it wouldn't be able to contain the power within itself. Would it instead have a power similar to the Mohtrek (Mask of Time Duplication) or the Mask of Aging?

If Toa Disks of Light existed, could more Kanohi Avohkii be made from them? (Like a Kanohi Garai is made from a Toa Disk of Gravity)

---

1) Consider the fact that those masks could have been made either a) before the red star was or b) made by beings who did not know what the red star did.

2) Wouldn't you be?

3) Yes. Approved names are the only ones we could choose from.

4) No idea off the top of my head

5) I suppose, but none exist

Yes

1.Why are some beings destined to be transformed by energized protodermis and others are not ?

Does the Energized protodermis entity chose which beings are worthy enough to be altered ?

2. If Tahu now fell into energized protodermis, would he be transformed or destroyed ?

3. If a being that was destined and transformed by EP fell into it for the second time, what would happen ?

 

---

1) That's the way destiny works. The whole philosophy of pre-destination is that certain things will happen to you and not happen to others. It's much like saying, "Why did that person win the lottery and a million others not?"
And no, the EP has nothing to do with the choice.

2) No way to tell until it happened.

3) Again, it would depend. If, somehow, they were destined to transform a second time (which I think would be pretty rare), they would transform; otherwise, they would be destroyed.

Oh, for #2 I meant that we found out the Red Star's corpse teleportation power about two years after you posted the fourth and currently last chapter in "The Powers That Be". You told us in an interview, I believe. I want to know if the Red Star's resurrection ability was in a story bible or something, because I don't know why it wasn't revealed until two years after you last posted in a serial.

---

Pretty much nothing that appeared in the serials was in a story bible. Story bibles covered main story for the year, not side stories. As for why you didn't hear about it for two years, if I had not had to give the serials up, you would have learned it in the serial. And since I could not go on BZP anymore and only got on these message boards by request of the mods late last year, there was no forum in which to tell you.

i have a question for you.i know you wrote the bionicle books,but who thought of the original idea?

The BIONICLE concept was created  by a team of people at LEGO Company and our creative agency during 1999-2000. I don't think there was any one person who came up with the concept, it was a lot of people working together.

Happy New Year, Greg!

 

So, here's my first question this year:  Did you ever decide what Krahka's species looked like in the first place?

---

No. With shapeshifters, it's more fun to leave their real form to the reader's imagination.

I haven't created that many characters for Ninjago, other than Phantom Ninja and some villains.
