Guys.

 

You all know that he cannot answer questions about BIONICLE 2015. If he discusses future plans, he probably will be fired. If BIONICLE is coming back, I want him to write the story and not someone else, but he cannot do that, if he is fired. So why are you asking him about the future. Do you want someone else to write the story? I do not.

 

If you are with me, stop asking questions about BIONICLE 2015.

In MNOG, the Bohrok Animations, and MNOGII, Maku and Huki have what is clear as day love for each other. Since then, however, Greg ruled their relationship uncanon, stating that beings in the MAtoran Universe are incapable of love beyond that of a friend caring about a friend (despite the fact that these two "friends" nearly kissed). I would like to ask why you decided to make it non-canon after it being canon for years.


Simple. What was in the online  games was not approved by the story team, nor was there ever anything in story bibles saying these characters had this relationship. So it was not "canon." It was done to add some characterization into the game, but logically it made no sense, so I felt no obligation to maintain something that was illogical.


How would it be illogical to assume that romance can exist considering there are male and female members of the Matoran/Toa race? After all, they were initially built to be blank clones, and then started glitching out and developing emotions. How can "love" not be possible when "anger" "fear" "happiness" and "sadness" are?

But, even in the story, Matau said he had the "urge" to do so, and Nokama stated she felt the same urge. Matau only tried to cover it up with saying it was for Visorak.
I wanted to know exactlly what the whole "urge" thing was about. I recently re-read the book for analysis on what I was asking, and I spotted about in there how Matau and Nokama had this urge for something... Something that required a nest. It just made me a bit suspicious, because, to me, it sounded a lot like they had this urge to reproduce. But I dunno. Your the guy who writes the stuff. I just wanted to know.
If you want, you can always look at it again in the book. It's pages 61-63.
Thanks again.

It just means they have the "urge" to be rahi. However you interpreded it literally has Freudian significance.

Hey Greg, 

 

Is BIONICLE going to comeback anytime soon (within the next few years?)

 

Thanks!

I can't discuss future plans for any product line.


One of the mods made a post about BIONICLE coming back rumors being false. Why can you not do the same, if they ARE false? Everyone is hyping up about some supposedly leaked pics. Can you at least make it stop?

Hi Greg!

 

1) Is there any chance of another contest to determine what masks some other characters had, like Naho, Zaria and Tridax?

2) Do the Toa Nuva still rely on the Nuva symbols for their elemental powers?

3) Have the Toa Nuva's Suvas been moved onto Spherus Magna? If so, does that mean the Toa Nuva can use all of their Kanohi again (since they couldn't in Karda Nui)?

4) How many Matoran actually lived in Metru Nui/Mata Nui?

 

Thanks!

"3) Have the Toa Nuva's Suvas been moved onto Spherus Magna? If so, does that mean the Toa Nuva can use all of their Kanohi again (since they couldn't in Karda Nui)?"

 

Well, I don't think they could, since the island of Mata Nui was destroyed by the rising of Mata Nui. If their suvas where on Mata Nui, then I think they most likely would have been destroyed.

Actually, they got moved with the Matoran when they went back to Metru Nui, so it's very likely that the Matoran could have carried them to Spherus Magna.

thanks for the answer, but i would also like to know why he made it non canon. it just seems..... well, with no disrespect to Mr Farshtey.....not smart. it could've built into something great. Macku could've been the toa inika/mahri of water instead of that gali wannabe, hahli! GGGAAAHHHH!!!!

thank you very much! though this does answer my question in an official capacity, i would like your personal opinion. in your eyes, as the creator of this amazing universe. in your opinion, did they have anything intimate? after all, these arent just mindless robots; they have feelings, and why not love?

If I remember correctly, almost all the characters in BIONICLE are brothers and sisters with each other.. Just pointing that out..

It's a term used to describe the companionship between toa. There are no families in BIONICLE.

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..


But is the Mountain actually still alive or did he die when Teridax was killed?


I would assume it would die shortly after Teridax did.
