ajtazt | 2014-03-22 18:46 UTC–5 PermalinkHi Mr. Farshtey, I was just wondering something. When a Matoran becomes a Toa, that Matoran will become how he/she thinks a Toa looks like. Does this apply to when a Toa becomes a Turaga; when a Toa sacrifices his power, does he/she become how a Toa thinks a Turaga looks like? |

It's not hinduism. The name "Great Spirit" was the name given to Mata Nui, which is what it means in matoran. The matoran looked up to him, almost worshiping him, because he was said to be the sun, sky, earth, and all the other elements. He was in fact: They where inside him, he was a massive robot, and their work was keeping him running.

I do not think there can be a "wrong time," because I think the stone only triggers the transformation when it is supposed to. We know Takua was destined to be a Toa, but he did not turn into one when he was handling all those Toa stones in 2001. |

He was looking in a mirror. |

That would certainly make sense,. |

Simple answer is, it does not. BIONICLE is not tied to, nor does it promote, any given religion. (And I have actually never heard the phrase "Great Spirit" used with connection to Hinduism -- I have heard it used in some Native American schools of belief. At the same time, if BIONICLE was intended to promote the Hindu faith, it would have been sort of silly for me to write the story since I know very little about that religion. |
puss57 | 2014-03-24 15:33 UTC–5 PermalinkI have a question. What is energized protodermis? |
maletoaofwater | 2014-03-24 17:17 UTC–5 PermalinkWhere did the original source of anitdermis come from?
Speaking of the antidermis and the Makuta, how were the Makuta able to use energized protodermis every time to create Rahkshi with such certainty? Wouldn't it have destroyed the antidermis/kraata some of the time/turned it into something else? And if antidermis+EP makes kraata, then why didn't that happen when the Inika shot their zamor spheres at the antidermis enslaved matoran of Voya Nui? |

smartbr1ck | 2014-03-25 09:26 UTC–5 PermalinkWhy is the bionicle story stop't |
koren84 | 2014-03-25 18:02 UTC–5 Permalink1. Marvel or DC? 2. When you are stuck while writing... what is the best thing to do? *I am REALLY STUCK in my script right now* |
Anakin3367 | 2014-03-25 19:02 UTC–5 PermalinkOkay, let me start out by saying, I LOVE your boooks! I have read just about all of them, Ninjago, Hero Factory(loved Mirror World, especially) , and, of course, Bionicle. I have just two Bionicle questions, and forgive me if they have been asked already but...
How do Matoran/Agori reproduce? Do they spawn or are they born? and
Are Glatorian a seperate race from Agori? Or are they more toa-like, where Agori transform into them. (Based on the books and movies, I am suspecting it is the first answer.)
Anyway, I can't believe I actually get to talk to to you (so to speak). Huge fan! |
