If a makuta were hit with the staff of fusion, would it be possible that the said makuta could be stripped of all the makuta powers, and that said powers are made into an entirely seperate being as a result?
I suppose.

1. Was Tren Krom based on Glatorian/agori DNA?
2. Could Mata Nui return if he wanted to?
3. What are the Turaga's roles in the new Agori/Matoran civilization?
4. Why are beings of shadow inadvertantly evil?
5. Has Malum ever beaten a Skrall in the arena?
6. Is Marendar sentient?
And finally,
7. Is it possible for one to use whatever technology still works in the GSR to "remake" the island of Mata Nui?
Not too many this time, but nonetheless answers would satisfy my curiousity
1) I don't think so, no
2) Yes
3) Guidance and probably ambassadors to the Agori
4) Traditionally, darkness and shadow are associated with bad things in mythology, and so they are as well in BIONICLE mythology
5) No
6) Yes
7) No. The GSR has been disassembled, and the head of the robot (which is the basis for the island) was badly damaged already.
Hello Greg!
The Voya Nui Matoran (Balta, Garan, Dalu etc.) happen to wear exactly the same Kanohi as the Toa Metru. Balta is wearing a Huna, Dalu a Rau etc. In their set versions, these are the Great versions of the masks, in other words, versions that would usually be worn by Toa. The fact that they're Matoran and not Toa made us assume that in the story, these were actually just the powerless versions of the very same masks, and also, that it's just a strange coincidence. (Obviously, that was irl just a decision of the set designers, to save effort)
However, another explanation now would be:
What if the Voya Nui Matoran were indeed wearing the Kanohi of the Toa Metru? What if many millennia ago, six Toa Metru from an Alternate Dimension (the AD would have had a faster timestream) were stranded in Karzahni, and imprisoned by the maddened ruler, after losing a battle against him or his Manas? He obviously took their masks away, so as to ensure they're no threat to him. Then he locked them up and trapped them in nightmarish visions.
Later on, a group of Matoran arrived at Karzahni's realm. He then recalled he still had those Toa masks lying around.
Let's assume this happened:
He picked a Matoran for each imprisoned Toa Metru (he also chose the corresponding elements), and took their masks away, giving them the Alternate Toa Metru's masks in return. The way he had deprived those six Matoran of their "faces" amused him, and fitted his twisted sense of humor. It also was a good way of covering his failures with the repairing. This would also explain how Karzahni came to the idea of exchanging masks, as this became a tradition in his realm, later on. Shortly after, he decided to keep his visitors in his realm, with Balta etc. being among the last ones to be sent to the Southern Continent.
It is likely that the Alternate Toa Metru, still trapped in visions, didn't survive Gali's Nova Blast much later. She probably put them out of their misery.
Does this theory make sense?
Hi Greg
Are there any limits to the power you can choose with the mask of conjuring?

It's an elaborate theory, but not something I could make official.

Really not something I have thought about.
could you confirm/deny that matoran of plasma have heat resistence? considering that most have a certain resistence to their element, it would make sense that they do have it, yes?
i think this got lost
Hey Greg, can you finally confirm whether or not MU inhabitants have mechanical, organic, or partially organic brains?
Can you tell us what types of masks (powerless, noble, great) the Matoran Resistance on Voya Nui were actually wearing?

No, it's not something I am prepared to discuss at this point.

The assumption we always made was that they were Matoran masks, but I have seen theories on here that they were not. All I can tell you is the story bible for that year never stated they were anything other than Matoran masks.
Do The Great Beings wear Kanohi masks? Are The Great Beings the size of a Toa?

In “Brothers In Arms”, it is mentioned that Mazeka had a mentor with whom he was doing research with on the
“origin of all things”. The mentor later was killed by Vultraz.
1. Has the mentor been a Ko-Matoran like Mazeka?
2. If he had a different element, could you specify, which one?
These questions got lost, probably.
