1. Are "The Yesterday Quest" and/or "The Powers That Be" ever going to be finished?

2. If not, how were they going to end?

3. Did/do you have any other stories planned after those two?

Thank you for your time.

1) Doubtful. LEGO wants the focus on new BIONICLE and new BIONICLE story, so there is no reason for them to pursue doing more old story.

2) I don't outline my stories. They end when they get to the ending.

3) No.

Hey Greg

 

1) How many dark hunters were there?

 

2) You have stated that there is no romance in the MU. Then what would you call the reletionship beetween hewkii and macku/Jaller and hali?

 

3) Could a mask of a certin shape have the power of another?

 

4) Was there a reason Mazeka was as big as an av-matoran or was this because that was just the matoran build for the year?

 

5) Are the matoran on metru-nui called metrutoran or metruan?

 

6) Is protodermis an element or a compound?

---

Although this is directed at Mr. Farshtey, I feel like I know enough to answer this one:

At first, these seemed to be intended as romance. However, as to not turn Bionicle into a soap opera, romance was decannonized. From then on, this simply became more like a strong bond between friends, almost like a close brother and sister.

Any other comments/elaborations/corrections appreciated.

1) I don't have actual numbers for this. They kept the size of their organization a secret, after all.

2) I would call it "something the web producer thought was cute at the time when we did not know BIONICLE would last longer than one year."

3) Yes. A mask maker can carve a disk into whatever shape he wants, but he risks confusing the wearer who expects one thing and gets another.

4) The latter

5) Matoran. Metruan is a fan term, not a BIONICLE term.

6) Unknown. Very little work was ever done by the story team on defining protodermis, since we did not need to do so to tell our story.

Hey Greg,

       Was there ever anything you wanted to explore in the BIONICLE story line you ever wanted to pursue that TLG said no to? Thank you.

---

No, not that I can recall. I don't think I ever did anything that was really controversial or crossed the line for a LEGO property.

1) Any particular reason to why you decided to kill Carapar ? DId you had to ask the Story team for this ?

 

2) a) Vakama tried to do something with the Vahi when confronting Teridax, but failed really hard. What was his intention when he used the power of the mask ?

b) He used the power of the Vahi even though he had not yet discovered how to use his own Huna. How was that possible ?

1) It made sense for the story to kill one of the Barraki under the circumstances, and I felt he was the one who contributed the least, since he was basically just muscle. And I had to clear it with the marketing team, to make sure there was no issue with killing a character whose set might still be available in some places.

2) In what story?

2) In the movie and book Legends of Metru Nui

Vakama was trying to slow down time around Makuta. His problem was he also slowed it down around himself. As for his using the mask -- I believe, like many skills, it is partly a matter of not overthinking and just relaxing and letting the power happen. If you overthink, it gets in the way of your willpower working on the mask. Vakama was in a crisis, he couldn't think, he had to just act, so he was able to trigger the mask if not control it.

The tower of GB which is turned Into puddle and After Into artificial volcano is made of protodermis? For we know that the protodermis can take Many forms, Including That of stone and earth and the metal. So it Would Be logical That tower is made of protodermis.

 

In the Yesterday Quest gelu said he had not seen the weapons of Vorox of bota magna since the Core War. Is that these weapons were the former arming of glatorian before the Shattering? Because before the Shattering it was mentioned that the people of SM was a very advanced civilization but they have lost the ability to create new things and their technology after the Shattering.

 

What is the strongest between Exsidian and protosteel?

 

Is that the marander is made of protosteel?

 

The weapons of vorox of bota magna are laser guns or plasma guns or energy guns or something similar of weapons of humans?

 

The IA of mata nui can like amorously a person? contrary to the inhabitants of MU? like the matoran.

1) Not to my knowledge

2) We don't know that Glatorian ever used these weapons. It was never stated that they had.

3) I would guess protosteel. Exsidian is primarily known for being resistant to energized protoderrmis and it is a very strong metal, but I lean toward protosteel.

4) Unknown

5) Don't know, I don't recall ever identifying what they were in story.

6) No. Mata Nui was a robot, there would be no reason for  his AI to allow him to get romantically involved. What would be the point? His job was to explore the solar system, return to Spherus Magna, fix the planet, and then most likely be deactivated. His job was not to go on dates.

6) Is the Mask of Healing at least partially made from Regeneration disks?

1) Depends on it was deemed too dangerous

Hi Greg, thanks for answering my previous questions. I thought of a couple more:

 

1) What has happened to Nektann's spiked Muaka pet now that he has been imprisoned? Have the Toa let it loose into the wild, and it has maybe joined the other Muaka in migrating to parts unknown? 

2) Do female Skakdi have any unique traits that differentiate them from the males? I ask because we have never seen any in sets, comics or movies, and there were no named female Skakdi characters seen in the story.

3) In MNOG, there is a Matoran who looks absolutely identical to Tehutti in MNOGII, right down to the colour of the eyes and occupation, but he is never named. Can we assume this is him?

4) Is the Codrex still intact?

5) Do you think that protodermic water would be toxic to Agori or other Spherus Magnan species?

1) Depends on if it was deemed too dangerous to be allowed to run wild

2) We haven't seen physical gender differences in other species, I doubt we would see it there.

3) I can't speak to MNOG questions, I had nothing to do with the game.

4) Yes

5) Yes

6) It would make sense, but I have not spent time on which disk makes what.
