2) If it was standard Metru Nui conditions, yes.

4) Correct. The star is not programmed to work outside of the MU because no one is supposed to be outside of the MU

Those are some nice confirmations, thank you.

Just one last question:

 

In an interview, you stated that how Matoran were made was a secret that the Story team decided not to reveal. Are there any other secrets that only members of the Story team know, and that will most likely not be revealed? 

---

That's the only thing I remember us being specifically instructed not to talk about.

When the Piraka were fused into the golden skinned being, were they teleported to the red star? And also, couldn't a Makuta or Olmak user teleport reincarnated beings back to the motoran universe/spherus magna? If Vezon were refused with Vezok, would he be sent to the red star? And would Vezok get Vezon's memorioes and personality?

---

Being fused with someone results in a combined being -- you're not dead, you're part of a larger whole, so you would not be sent to the red star. As for the two you mentioned, it would depend on whether they are able to teleport without being able to see where they are going to, for one thing -- if they can't, then they couldn't do this. It also doesn't seem like the MU inhabitants were aware of the problem.

---

2)I mean when they appeared on the Red Star. 99 Makuta, an Olmak user from the toa team that first used the Ignika, Botar, hundreds of teleportation Rahkshi, more of Botar's species, and other beings with teleportation died and would be teleported to the red star. at least some of them would have sent everyone back.

---

Why would Makuta or Rahkshi have any interest in returning anyone? Makuta only have use for other Makuta and Rahkshi can be made as needed. And again, we don't know what Botar's range is, or what his feelings might  have been on this. What if he felt that the dead should stay dead? What if he objects to the whole thing? What if he didn't believe the red star was part of Mata Nui's system, but was something Makuta came up with?

Hey greg. I have a few questions about the griffin gauntlet from bionicle

1. How effective is it against makuta?

2. If it is highly effective against makuta how could a makuta counter it?

3. Would a boggarak be effective against it?

4. Would a keelerak be effective against it?

5. Would any visorak be effective against it?

6. Would a matoran of light be dangerous to a makuta, or would a turaga?

---

1-5) This was a tool created by a fan, so I really recall very little about  it and I never used it in story.

6) A Matoran, no. A Turaga has some elemental power, but probably not enough to bother a Makuta that much.

Greg would a makuta if they trusted each other enough be able to form a kaita? What would a baby kanohi dragon or baby tahtorak look like?

---

1) Yes

2) I assume a smaller version of what they looked like as grown-ups

Oh, also, sorry for two posts, forgot to put this in the last one, but if Bionicle were to ever come back, what would be your personal preference: Continue on with the already set story, exploring more deeply into its already vast world, or would you prefer a reboot, where you could change things up a bit?

---

My answer would be that you have to think about who the people are who would be most likely to buy new sets -- the vast majority of them were too young when BIONICLE was around to remember it well, if at all. You can't expect to throw them into a universe with 10 years of history and expect them to "catch up" before they can start enjoying the story. It would be like picking up an issue in the middle of one of the big DC or Marvel "event" stories and expecting to be able to figure out what's going on.

---

Very true! I missed the 2007-2008 Bionicle sets and basically didn't know the story anymore. The Glatorian was a cool change of pace that allowed me to catch back up. 

I do wonder what kind of stories would come out of a "rebooted" series. Like, would they follow closely in the footsteps of it's predeccessor, or would they go their own path, maybe even splitting off at an important event? Like Takanuva doesn't defeat Makuta? 

Very interesting when you think about it!

---

If I were doing it, it would be a reboot but not a repeat of the same story we already told. Books related to the  old story are still available, and I think it would be boring if we just redid the exact same thing we already did.

1.Do you know why was the idea of a three finger island scrapped ?

2.Where there some approved names in Bionicle that didn't appear in story ? If yes, do you remember some of them ?

3.If "The yesterday quest" and "The powers that be" continued, would their stories eventually overlap ?

---

1) No, I don't. I think that would have been before my time.

2) No, I don't. The few names that were left on the last list were pretty bad, and I no longer have that list.

3) That was not the plan, no.

---

3) Well but Velika did observe both party in the Great being's fortress along with Kopaka, Pohatu and Gaardus disappearing and he also gave Kabrua device to block Toa's power. It seemed to me that Yesterday quest team would eventualy run into either Lewa or GB fortress and warn others about Velika since they're all in Bota magna...

 

---

Can you please answer this part of my question ?

And also, Velika said that Kopaka and Pohatu were needed for his plan.

---

Umm... excuse me. Am I being overlooked ?

---

Like I said, I had no plans to do that.

And another set of questions:

1.In order to  someone from MU being revived in RS how much of their body is needed ? Is it like most of it, or some major parts like head or is a chunk of armor enough ?

Some questions about Vanisher's powers :

He has the power to open dimensional fluctuations in order to trap energy attacks. He can keep these for as long as he wishes, and then release the energy contained.

2.Does it mean he can trap rhotuka spinners since they're made of energy ?

3.How many of these fluctuations can he open at once ? If three different energy attacks were aiming at him, can he open three rifts in three different places and trap them or just one at a time ?

4. Can someone with Olmak interfere with hios power ?

 

 

 

 

 

---

1) At least their head, because you need to be able to download their AI

2) Yes

3) I think there is probably a limit on  how many he can open at once, but he can open them so quickly that it might seem simultaneous

4) In what way?

Okay here's some questions....

 

1: how long did it usually take to come up with the Story line for Bionicle every year?.

2: if Bionicle where ever to come back, would it still have a darker tone than most other modern themes?.

 

 

These are the only questions I can think of right now, I know both of them are Bionicle questions, but I don't know I lot about Bionicle, because I wasn't interested in it when it was out, I really regret that now.

---

1) We would usually meet over the course of a few days, and then the actual writing of the story bible would take a few weeks.

2) Impossible to predict. Personally, I think "dark" is less important to BIONICLE than "epic" is. And LEGO as a whole is darker now than it was when BIONICLE launched -- after all, we did not have Batman, or Lord of the Rings, then.
