Mr. Farshtey, please be honest with me. Don't you think LEGO should finish what they started with BIONICLE: the legend reborn? It is the beginning to a trilogy that IS VERY incomplete. Everyone talks about all the other bionicle storylines and how they should add to it. I believe they should finish what they started with the legend reborn. If bionicle comes back, (which is a huge assumption in the first place) would they continue and finish off the legend reborn series, or would they just leave it incomplete and make up or continue with an old storyline?

I, personally -- if it were up to me -- would not pick up from where we left off with the old story. Why? Because the success or failure of BIONICLE will depend upon how many 8-9 year olds buy sets. Those kids were 3 and 4 when Legend Reborn came out, know nothing about it or any old BIONICLE story. If you tell them, "Hey, buy these sets, now go dig up this old movie that relates to a nine-year long story you never heard anything about so you can understand what is going on ..." .... they won't buy the sets and the line will fail.

There is a benefit to long-time fans to pick  up from where we ended, but there is no real benefit to LEGO Company or the new fans who would have to carry the bulk of the business. Even back  in 2009, there were a lot of people who were huge fans of the story, but didn't buy sets anymore ... and now they are older and probably would be even less inclined to buy sets. The only way  a return of BIONICLE would survive would be if it captures the imagination of a new generation, and you can't do that by putting  obstacles in the path of their understanding the story.

Well, do MU inhabitants have any form of circuitry in them?

I am hesitant to answer "anatomy" questions. If BIONICLE ever does return someday, this would really be a question for a future story team to answer.

1. Lesovikk's Toa team was killed by Zyglak, who carry weapons that can disintegrate targets. Were his teammates were killed by these weapons, and thus not revived on the Red Star? That would make the most logical sense, rather than beaming them back down, since he wandered the universe and yet never saw them again.

2. Would you consider the Kestora sapient in the same way Matoran are? Were they part of Velika's cognitive revolution?

3. How did Velika spread sapience to all the inhabitants of the Matoran Universe? With some sort of virus?

---

1) If the body is disintegrated, then the red star cannot revive you.

2) No, not in the same way

3) Hasn't been revealed

1. Maxilos robots can channel their internal "black fire" energies through their blades. But what exactly is black fire? Is it a variant of elemental Fire, or perhaps elemental Shadow? Or is it something else entirely?

2. The Great Spirit Robot and Prototype Robot were capable of firing huge blasts of energy from their hands, which were described as lasers. Does this mean that they were a non-elemental Light power?

3. (If not, were they a Plasma-based power? That element and Light seem to be the main contenders.)

---

1) It's something else entirely. It also sounds cool.

2) Correct. Robots have built-in weaponry. We did not feel the need to give them actual elemental powers as Toa have.

1. Did Krahka, Kopeke, Lariska and Johmak destroy the pool of EP on Daxia after they split of Tahu and Onua or did all six destroy it?

 

2. Is it possible to kill Sentrakh? I know that he's in an undead state, but so are Vampires and Zombies, and it is possible to kill those.

1) After

2) Yes

1. Does Jerbraz wear a Kanohi?

2. Did Varian wear the same mask (Calix) as a Matoran as she does now?

3. Did the Toa Hagah wear the same mask powers while Matoran as they do now? Or did they change mask powers when they were given metallic masks?

4. The Dark Hunter Prototype consists of two Toa fused together. Does this mean his face is actually their fused Kanohi? If so, can he use that Kanohi's powers?

5. The model of the Toa Hordika Savage uses a mutated Ruru for his head. Does this mean he wore a Ruru as a Toa? If so, did he also wear that mask as a Matoran? Or did he not wear a Ruru, taking into account the physical limitations on the builder who constructed that model?

---

1) No

2) Yes

3) No, they were the same

4) A fused Kanohi would produce a third power, you would  not  have access to both powers I don't believe

5) He probably did wear a Ruru as a Toa, but no idea what he wore as a Matoran

1. Axonn has a variety of powers, including electric bolts, stasis fields, and mental and physical healing. Are any of those powers possessed by his entire species, or are they unique to Axonn?

2. Similarly, Johmak is able to shatter her body into crystals and recombine at will. Does her entire species possess this trait, or is she unique?

3. If any of the above powers are unique to Johmak/Axonn, were those powers given to them by the Order of Mata Nui?

1) Unknown

2) It is a species trait

Will anyone try to evacuate the Mountain from Xia, or is it pretty much doomed? Should we list it as "Deceased" or some variant on BS01?

Nobody is going to knock themselves out for this, and in the rush of a salvage operation, they probably won't even realize it's alive..

Question time!

 

1. So what's with the Fire Villains? What's their backstory? What went wrong with them?
2. Has Von Nebula escaped his Black Hole Staff? Or is he still trapped inside it?
3. What was it that Voltix did that unleashed the Black Hole in the Breakout?
4. What went on with Core Hunter when he went rouge? Was it simply his obsession with Hero Cores? Or was it something deeper?
5. Would the Hero Core Clamps work against the Hero Core Removal Tool?
6. Roughly how many planets have Quaza deposits on them?
7. In you Hero Factory face off book, under Nex 3.0, you said he'd gone to fight a snake for a cache of Quaza, yet I never recalled that happening. Was there something I missed?
8. For Nex and Breez Breakout in the same book, you mentioned their battles against XT4 and Thornraxx, yet I never recalled those either.
9. In the same book, under Thornraxx, it said that what he did paranoid the citezens. What did he do that was so bad?

ANSWERS:

1) Unknown

2) That would be up to the HF story team to decide

3) See answer to #2

4) I doubt it was an obsession with Hero Cores. More likely, it was just greed. Not every robot is into spending its life in service to others for little or no reward.

5) Don't know

6) Don't know

7-8) In some cases, I had to make stuff up because there wasn't enough published content to refer to.
