How much longer will Bionicle and Ninjago continue? 
Do you (Greg Farshtey) know if Hero Factory will end because of Bionicle? Will Ninjago ever have a prequal?

1) How the one Artakha wore looked was never described in story, so no way to answer this.
2) Probably the former
3) A Mask of Control of what?
3b)) I really can't speak to how things would look in Gen2, since I am not involved with it
4) In what way were the Turaga a threat to him worth killing?
5) Yes
1. It was in Teridax's Reign. I shall quote it.
"His mask was the most ornate anyone had ever seen – more than just a Kanohi, it was a true work of art. The metallic protodermis from which it was forged was arranged in intricate patterns and designs, each reflecting one of the many cultures that flourished in the universe. The eye slits were angular and pointed, giving him an air of both wisdom and a vague sense of menace."
— Narrator, Reign of Shadows2. What... With spines, big teeth... everything?
3. Oh, it is a Gen 2 thing... Seen in the trailer we got at NYCC.
4. Information
1) I would say you would need to look at that description and decide for yourself if you think it matches what is being shown for the mask now.
2) Probably, yes
3) Okay, I can't answer Gen2 story questions
4) No. He only had contempt for them. In his eyes, they wouldn't have been worth killing. After all, it was the Makuta who knew how to bring down a giant robot, not the Turaga
1) So basically, we can have it as our own head-canon, but it isn't official?
------
Bonus questions:
1) How was the Ignika able to get through the Bara Magna atmosphere, and get out of the Aqua Magna atmosphere at that, without burning up.
2) If the Ignika didn't, then Lehvak-Kal wouldn't either, right?

No
1) How about on Voya Nui?
2) Are Matoran Hordika possible?
2b. If yes, would they gain rhotuka?

If it is too personal, you don't have to answer it.
Boidoh,
Right now, I am writing short stories for LEGO City and Ninjago for a Polish publisher, AMEET. My Ninjago graphic novel series for Papercutz has ended, so at the moment, AMEET is my only LEGO-related work. Like all my books, this is freelance, so it's stuff I do on my own time, not during the workday.
My day job is editing LEGO Club Magazine and LEGO Club Junior Magazine. I work with a group of four other writers and we produce everything that is in the magazine and most of what is on the Club website in terms of content. We also do other projects within the company, like animation scripts and character bios for online, marketing campaigns, Club recruitment work, and pretty much anything that needs writing within LEGO.
I see.
Will there be any BIONICLE stuff be in the upcoming 2015 LEGO Club Magazine? You don't have to say what exactly, just if there will be a section in there concerning BIONICLE.

2) Someone on BS01 said that you previously told us that their bodies would still be like any other Toa. I don't see how this contradicts anything though. Their internal stuff is the same, but their mettalic exterior looks different.

Bionicle: Not in the forseeable future.
Ninjago: Not in the forseeable future as I heard there's a movie coming out for it in 2016.
Hero Factory: No plans, although no set pictures for 2015 are out yet.

1) Do you mean when he was Takutanuva?
No, I mean after his light was drained by one of Makuta Icarax's shadow leeches.

I can't discuss future product plans. That is confidential LEGO information.

That would be a whole new type of threat 
Hey Greg, when you are not writing, what are some of your other hobbies?
Hey Greg!
I'm the guy who asked you how long a Matoran could live back in 2007.
Anyways, I was wondering how you were planning to end "The Yesterday Quest" and "The Powers That Be." I'm not asking for a play-by-play, just the highlights.
Oh, and before I forget, could beings with elemental power over protodermis exist?
How do you feel about not writing the new bionicle?
What do you think about the new story?

Thanks, I want to see what Greg says though.

Okay. What other products have you designed other than Bionicle and Ninjago?
Hello, Mr. Farshtey, just another question.
You said earlier that Matoran could absorb the energy from food in order to survive. But I wanted to ask: Can this taste the food that they are absorbing energy from (for clarification, what I mean is: As they absorb it, do they also taste it)?
Thanks!
