I know this isn't your department, but it's about MNOG and MNOGII. Simple question though: if a named Matoran in MNOGII has the same mask, job, and coloration as an unnamed Matoran in in the first MNOG, is it safe to assume they're probably the same Matoran? For example, in MNOGII, the Sanctum Guard consists of two Ko-Matoran named Talvi and Pakastaa. They both have white and dark gray colorations, and wear a Kakama and Huna, respectively. In the first MNOG, the two Matoran guarding the Sanctum look exactly the same, just diminished from Makuta's spheres.
Also, yes, I am aware that the names in MNOGII were never approved. I'm asking because BS01 has tabs for each Matoran: "Metru," "Diminished," and "Rebuilt." If they're the same Matoran, we can add a picture to the "Diminished" tab.
Yes, I think that is a safe assumption.

Greg, did you ever play LEGO Universe?
No, I had no time.
Hi, Mr. Farshtey! How long've you been working with/for LEGO? And how much do you like working with the company?
I'm back, Mr. Farshtey! Three questions here:
1) Was there an existence of Toa-Kal (Toa of greater power) anywhere?
2) Are you writing the novels for the new BIONICLE?
3) Is the new story a reboot ot a comtinuation of the previous story? Or is it both?
Can Krahka shapeshift to a previous "version" of someone, and also store their current version? For example, could she shift between the Toa Metru's Toa, Hordika, and Turaga forms, or can she only use their current form?
About how old do you think Gresh is? We know that he's young for a glatorian, but does that mean given their lifespans? And how old do you think Ackar is?
P.S. Thanks so much for answering all these fan questions during Bionicle's hiatus. Can't wait for tomorrow's reveal!
I see. Another related question: in the game included on the Toa Metru Matau CD-ROM there is a Le-Matoran named "Vira." He was first mentioned in MNOGII to be a member of the Gukko Force, but was never shown. However, in the first MNOG, when the Gukko Force is getting ready for takeoff, there's an "air traffic controller" Matoran guiding the birds on the runway with lightstones on sticks, and he wears a lime green Pakari, just like Vira does in the CD.-ROM. Since he has the same mask, and is shown to be in the Gukko Force, would it be a reasonable assumption that this is "Vira?"
So, I am curious: If that Great Being's conciousness is removed or destroyed, would that allow the real Velika to take control of his body once again? And would he remembered what happened while his body was possesed?

1) No
2) I have not been asked to write any books for new BIONICLE
3) I can't discuss this. There should be news on this over the weekend from Comic-Con

Hi BeorntheBear,
We don't know the details. As always, we will have to wait and see. NYCC lasts all weekend, but that's only a few days so not long to wait.
Please be patient. Thanks!

People are saying the big Bionicle 2015 reveal will be in about 30 minutes. Though the differences it time zones may cause those predictions to be incorrect and it could be an hour & 30 minutes. Whatever the case...
WE'RE SO CLOSE...
dear mr farsthey is there a connection from the new storyline to the old storyline?
First of all I'd like to thank LEGO for the way they have handled the reboot, what you guys have created is everything I could have hoped for, a new story that respects everything the old bionicle was.
Now onto the questions, seeing as to how the bionicle website has now shown the toa I now ask Mr Farshtey what do you think of the new figures and out of the six toa which one is your favourite(toy wise that is)?

It's been confirmed at the BIONICLE panel in New York that this is a reboot, not a continuation of the old storyline.
