1. Were the Matoran who'd been "destroyed" by Tuyet revived on the Red Star?
1.1. The Ta-Matoran who fell into molten protodermis? Didn't molten protodermis damage the Matoran's brain?
1.2. The Le-Matoran who was pushed off a high place? Was his brain damaged after the fall?
1.3. The Ga-Matoran who was drowned?

 

2. Some pocket dimensions were created by the Great Beings, weren't they? What about "City of Silver", "Dimension of Light", "Field of Shadows", "Tuyet's Prison", "Dimensions of Makuta Mass"?

 

2.1. What happens with the "Dimensions of Makuta Mass" when a Makuta dies? Does "The Melding"'s Teridax have one in the main/alternate universe?
2.2. Has Annona already died in her dimension?

 

3. Was the "Toa Fortress" where Krakua sent his message to Vakama the Skakdi Fortress?

 

4. Will the Codrex vehicles be used for transportation on Spherus Mana?

 

5. Has the Great Spirit Robot ever flown outside Solis Magna during his travels?

 

6. In "Mask of Light", Jaller died(but was revived). Did his mind get to teleport to the Red Star? And how much time should pass for the dead's mind to be teleported to the RS?

 

7. If the Glatorian and the Agori are able to reproduce nomally, do they have last names? Would be interesting.

The second part of the 2004 story was based (in the movie, at least) on the Toa Metru finding their mask powers, yet in the 2006 story the Inika activated their Kanohi instinctively.  Why, then, did it take so long for the Toa Metru?

 

As well as this, did the Hordika keep their mask powers upon their transformation?


This seems to have got lost.


1) Keep in mind that the Inika's masks were organic and able to communicate with them. The Metru's masks were not.

2) I believe so, but they lacked the mental discipline to be able to use them.


Ah.  Why didn't the Mata have any trouble, then?  Was it due to their previous training, how to use Kanohi being in their minds on a subconscious level?


I think that this got lost.

 

As well as this, can the user of a Faxon use two or more powers at the same time?

Remember that the Mata were never Matoran - they were created as Toa, therefore they were always aware of how to use masks.

2) Not that we have seen

1) If your head is intact, you can be revived. So it comes down to how these beings died. If they died in such a way that their head would have been so badly damaged that their AI would not be intact, then their consciousness cannot be downloaded and transferred.

2) I have no idea what you are referring to.

2.2) Don't recall offhand

3) No

4) Possibly

5) No

6) I don't have a time limit for when they get sent. Basically, I have no reason to worry about details like that. As for Jaller ... the concept of the RS doing what it does did not exist at the time that movie was made, so going to the RS was not the intent of the scriptwriter. What  his intent was was never explained to me.

7) Not that I am aware of, besides, I have no legally approved names I could give them

Here's a few things that I've given up trying to figure out myself: 

 

1. I think I already know the answer, but just in case, are the inhabitants of Spherus Magna born with their mechanical implants, or do they gain them later?

 

2. The Great Beings' plan was that two giant robots needed to put the planet back together. Why didn't they bother to reconstruct the prototype--or even build yet another robot--to ensure that this would be successful? Did they just stop caring? In other words, why did they leave only one functional robot when they knew they needed two?

 

3. What's the difference between solid protodermis and stone in the Matoran Universe? Is solid protodermis a metal or rock-like material? If the former, then is protosteel simply a much stronger (possibly the strongest) variant of solid protodermis?

 

Thanks in advance! Happy


1) They are not born with implants, no

2) We don't know why they never finished the second robot -- or IF they never finished it. We simply know that Mata Nui, realizing he needed one, made us of what was there, which was the prototype. Remember, very little of this plan worked out the way the GBs had planned it. For all we know, the second robot exists somewhere and Mata Nui simply did not know that.

3) Stone in the MU is made of protodermis, so I am not sure how to answer this. Everything inside the robot is made of protodermis.


1) Figured as much, for obvious reasons. Joking 

2) A second functional robot? Now there's an idea...

3) Ah, okay. Does that mean a Toa of Stone controls solid protodermis (that which is considered rock in the MU) when inside the MU, and regular stone when in places like the island of Mata Nui and SM?

Mr. Farshtey which do you enjoy writting more, Hero Factory, NInjago, or Bionicle novels?

Okay. Do you think it might have been Makuta Teridax? We saw he took a great interest in Matoro during 2007, and probably knew he'd be the one to make the sacrifice.

1) When and how Nuhrii, Vhisola, Orkahm, Ehrye, Ahkmou and Tehutti knew the locations of the Great Disks?


My personnal thinking is that Teridax knew them and, with or whitout the help of Nidhiki and Krekka, he informed the Matoran about it, before they know that Vakama and the others were transformed into Toa Metru.
Because, if they had been informed of the emplacements of the Great Disks too early, they would already have to try to catch them for personnal purpose, in view of them behavior in BA 1, in my opinion.



2) The Great Beings had 
tampered the Blade Burrowers for that to begin digging a series of tunnels representing the Three Virtues. But, the only Great Being inside the MU was Velika.
So, this is Velika who had tampered the Blade Burrowers, correct ?


1) I am pretty sure it said in the original story how they knew.

2) No. The tampering took place before Mata Nui was launched.


1) I made many researches on the Nuvapedia (the equivalent of BS01 in french) and BA books, and I finally find nothing for this information :/
2) I'm confused... How the tampering can take place before Mata Nui was launched : the brotherhood of Makuta and his members were created after the depart of the Great Spirit Robot from Spherus Magna. So the Blade Burrowers could not exist yet since Mutran did not still exist himself for created them.


1) I will check.

2) Where does it say the Makuta were not created until after the robot launched?


1) Okay, thanks Smile
2) It's what seem to indicate the timeline of the History of the Matoran Universe on BS01.

They all have their appeal and their challenges. BIONICLE was the most complex, Ninjago has had a lot of opportunity to create new characters, and HF had a lot of room to create story as a whole.

1) That would make sense, although how would Velika have given them personalities, because that would require a lot of coding for each, individual being, unless he used a scrambling virus. That might be able to do the trick.

 

2) How would the lungs function in the mechanical body? Would it be for transporting chemicals in the air (oxygen) to the "muscles?"

 

3) I thought that the cavern area was uninhabited until the large stalagmite villages crashed down during the Great Cataclysm, which would mean that Karda Nui was just housing for Av-Matoran correct? And how could the other matoran have served their functions, living on islands which were inaccessible to the other systems inside the robot?

 

All robots need maintanence, and if the Matoran were the clean-up crews, then the Great Beings did not give them the means to effectively carry out their mission, as there are no noticable ways (besides going through Metru Nui perhaps) to enter the systems of the robot body and take care of any problems... maybe there are other matoran we don't know about living inside the "circulatory system" and such?

 

I'm terribly sorry for bombarding you with questions, but I'm taking AP Biology (As a freshman woot woot!) and I just became intrigued with how the MU inhabitants worked.

Mr. Farshtey,

 

Was the chute monitor threatened by Nidhiki on Metru Nui actually Kongu? Or was it just a le-matoran wearing a Ruru? If it was Kongu, why did he replace his mask with a Miru?

 

Thanks.

Thank you again, Mr. Farshtey.  I have some new questions as well:

 

  1. Were there any types of long-distance communication in the MU (not exactly telephones, but something similar, such as radio or comlinks)?
  2. Did Matoran have other kinds of entertainment besides sports like Kohlii and Akilini?  Perhaps something like an amusement park or a cinema?
  3. In a similar manner of thinking, would cities like Metru-Nui have apartment complexes, or would each Matoran have an individual home?
  4. Is there any way (experimental or actual) that a Toa could willingly or unwillingly switch elements?  Would the Vortixx or Nynrah Ghosts have been interested in this idea?
  5. Could a Matoran exposed to Energized Protodermis gain control of his/her elemental power as a side effect of the contact?

Thank you again!

Actually Tamaru wore a Rau.
