Hi greg! just had a few questions to ask if you have the time:
1) We do know the Toa nuva are more powerful than regular toa, but by how much? More just looking for a ballpark answer of "quite a bit" or "Moderately" or "just a little bit" rather than anything too specific, as I know that probably wouldn't be something you'd ever want to set in stone.
2) Why was it that the Rahkshi that fight the Toa Nuva in "The mask of light" and that year in general seem to be far more intimidating and powerful than the ones later on seen in metru nui and onwards? It seems that they end up becoming much more minor threats after that arc to the point takanuva needed there to be a bunch of Rahkshi just for it to be a fair fight.
3) Who originally chose what elements of Toa would come out back in 2001? Would that be you or some other creative developer who chose the fire-water-air-stone-earth-ice combo we came to be familiar with?
me again 
with boinles coming back are you going make more books about them? just woundering

Hey Greg Farshtey! What inspired you to write the story of Bionicle?
I did not create the original story. I wrote the comic, because my boss asked me to, and I wrote the novels because Scholastic asked me to.

5) YesOkay, so if the Toa Nuva/Mata/Partiallyboth are still Toa, what is their destiny? They killed Makuta Teridax and every other Makuta save Miserax, they defeated all of their foes, reunited Spherus Magna and protected all the "hearts of Metru Nui", so why arent they Turaga?
Toa do not automatically turn into Turaga when they achieve their destiny. They can choose not to give up their Toa power, and that is what the Nuva have done.

1) is any type Protodermis flamable
2) what happens to anyone who is still in The Great Spirit Robot

I hope you can awnswer these questions
1) Sure
2) Well, at this point the robot is being dismantled, so they probably won't be in there for too long

I have not been contacted by anyone regarding anyone doing BIONICLE books.
ach, sorry, I just read back and noticed you replied to my post. I didn't see that before. Nevermind question 1. Sorry, I should have taken the time to read a bit more thoroughly.

1) Nuva have better control of their powers, stronger armor, and they have mask powers that can be shared. Those are the major differences.
2) We were selling Rahkshi in 2003 as sets, so you make them as scary as possible. Later on, they were less of a threat mainly because the Toa had learned how to fight them
3) That would have been the original story team in 1999, which I was not a part of
If BIONICLE came back would it be made simpler than before? (The title Toa being replaced by a simpler title such as Master)
Dear Greg,
I was aking myself if the new city of Atero, in the vision of Sahmad, could be the new city of Atero that Tahu and Gali were looking for !!!!
Many thanks

hey Greg
what bionicle year had the largest story Bible
Hey Mr. Farshtey, just a few questions I'd appreciate if you could answer. You seem to have missed this one a few pages back, so I'm re-posting it with a few modifications.
1) Could you confirm whether ot not the remainder of Lesovikk's team is on the Red Star? We know they were killed by Zyglak and that Zyglak have weapons that disintegrate their enemies, so was his team disintegrated or not?
2) The Red Star can't revive anyone not from the Matoran Universe, right?
3) The head of a person is needed for Red Star revival because the AI needs to be downloadable, right? In that case, if a person were crushed and their head destroyed, would they still be revived? For example, Sidorak was crushed by Keetongu, and Teridax crushed (I'm assuming) Guardian to death by closing the earth on him. Would they have been revived on the Star?
4) If half of a person's body is disintegrated and the other half isn't, can that person still be revived by the Red Star?
5)The Matoran that Tuyet killed weren't teleported to the Star. Were they teleported later off-screen, or was the damage to their bodies so severe that they were never teleported? For reference, One of the Matoran was burnt to death by molten protodermis, another fell from a very high distance to death (it was mentioned his mask was shattered) and the last one drowned.
6) Kopaka made a point in The Powers That Be that the murders of Karzahni and Tren Krom were especially gruesome, as if their was a meaning behind it or a hidden clue. Can you say what that was?
7) The alternate Tuyet that Teridax and Matoro came across had been dead for 1000 years and her corpse was never sent to the Red Star. Was this because she came from an alternate universe? After all, she was found in the reamins of the Pit, so I assume she died inside the Matoran Universe.
Thank you for your time and patience!
firstly, thank you for answering my other questions. It's really nice to see an author willing to do something like this for his fans, and if I ever get a large following in my own career I think I'll do the same.
I just have one more question - How did you get introduced/did you get introduced to the look of the sets you were writing for? Did they just send you a few pictures or concept art, or outright give you built sets of bionicle to reference.
Hi Greg I have one more question
1) are the Great Beings just gonna stay hidden and also can a Great Being be killed
Thanks for answering
