Hey, Mr. Farshtey what bionicle sets were out when you started writing


I wrote my first BIONICLE comic before the first sets were released. I wrote my first BIONICLE book in the summer of 2003.


Hmm... Will you be writing BIONICLE comics for the LEGO Club Magazine? From the looks of it, there are those small 2 page comics for themes like Ninjago, Chima, Ultra Agents, and so on. Would there be BIONICLE comics?

 

Also, since you never wrote a book until summer 2003, is it possible you would write for new BIONICLE, but later down the line?

Well, it seems like you guys want to have a debate over what the last Toa should be, so I see no reason to rush a decision. Might as well let you fight it out Smile

 


Well, the 2 things that people seens to have come up with is:

1. Toa of Air, as it would "replace" Nidhiki after his betrayal.

Or

2. Toa of Fir, that would, together with Lhikan manipulate/absorb the Kanohi Dragons fire breath.

 

Maybe... "We" should make a poll? Smile

 


Theres a poll running over at BZP on the matter.

 

Greg, I have several questions concerning the way the poll should go. Should Ice be removed from the poll? There are already 4 Toa of Ice in the team, and I think someone mentioned that it was always stated there were 4 Toa of Ice. 

 

Secondly, how long should it run before we bring forth to you the results?

 

Thanks...


 

1) Yes, five Ice Toa would be excessive.

2) That's up to you guys.


For that matter, did you ever state that the Toa Mangai was only of the 6 main elements, saw someone say that, or could he/she have been Iron, Lightning, Plantlife, Sonics... Etc.?


I too would like to know this. Especially since the winning element, so far, is the Green.

Hello Greg


1. The inhabitants of the tribe of sand (Vorox and Zesk) are the only ones to have been genetically modified by the GB?

2. The sight of the inhabitants of the MU is identical to that of humans or it is more like that of a robot or a little of both?

3. The specie of makuta have evolved. Is what this mean that all the species of the MU like the matoran can evolve?

4. Is what Velika has evolved the makuta specie?

5. The organic protodermis has a structure cellular and DNA and a genome?

6. The inhabitants of MU can leave a fingerprint?

7. Is what Tren Krom is made of organic protodermis?

 

8. Tren Krom is the only Creation of GB to be completely organic? If not is what these beings are somewhere in the MU and Spherus Magna?

 

9. Is there wildlife in the MU? as forests and jungles.

Atakus is the only agent of velika that has objects made from a prototype technology? Or there's other agents that have objects made from this technology?

 

What looks like the communication devices that velika has given to his agents? They look like Woki Toki or something similar to a cell phone or a device able to communicating telepathically with other persons who have this device?

1) There are no plans for BIONICLE comics that I know of, at least in the beginning of the year.

2) Only going to happen if LEGO says I can and some publisher then asks me to do so, and I think it's unlikely.

1.How were the Glatorion such as Gresh, Kina and Ackar able to control elements? They were comepletly organic, and thus wouldn't have any energy to use.

2. Shouldn't Gresh's element be plant control anyway, or did Mata Nui give him air on purpose?

Hey Greg:

 

1) Can a Toa of Psionics create telekinetic barriers?

 

2) One thing I never clearly understood was why Toa need to channel their elemental powers through their tools in-story. They can channel it through their hands, as shown by Lhikan, and some Toa like Varian don't need to channel powers at all. Kopaka said that the tool was a"focus." Does channeling powers through a Toa tool make utilizing them easier, or more efficient or something?

 

3) I believe you said a Toa could channel his/her powers through any tool. Does that mean a Toa could channel his/her powers through any object? For example, could a Toa of Fire theoretically channel his powers  through a frying pan?

 

4) How long would you say it takes a Toa's EP reserves to recharge from completely empty to full? (A couple hours, a whole day, etc.)

 

5) Aside from absorbing more of their elements, can they make their reserves charge faster by say, eating or sleeping?

 

6) Can an MU inhabitant's mechanical systems self-repair to a small degree? For example, I mean you're not going to use Toa energy for a punctured piston, but what if you have no tools?

So if it wasn't a genetic change, then what did Mata Nui alter in the five Glatorian that gave them their elemental powers?

Hey Greg,

 

   I recently read your Ninjago graphic novel #9, Night of the Nindroids. I just want to say that I did enjoy it, and I'd like to thank you for the hard work you put into the novel.

 

  (I don't know if you read the little epilogue blurb at the back, but regardless - ) I left the book with the resolve to try and be more friendly, patient, and encouraging - to kind of try and help others to remember that they do belong, and they have great worth. It might not always be easy - but hey, a Ninja never quits, right? Wink

 

Thanks for giving us a great story! All your work means a lot to us.

1) The energy was gifted to them by Mata Nui. That was what he gave them.

2) But in the MU, green is air -- and that was Mata Nui's frame of reference. So that is why he gave him air.

1. Was the energy stored in their weapons? Because Mata Nui used the mask of life on the weapons\tools not the glatorians themselves.

2. There are also matoran\toa of plantlife\the green, but air is more comonly known

 

Thank you so much for answering or questions!

1) Were all Toa Mangai that remained on Metru Nui after the DH war(with the exception of Lhikan and Tuyet) killed by eliminator ? If not, is there still some chance that some of them are alive or revived ?

 

2) Did MU beings knew they were living inside a giant robot ?

2.1)Did Tren Krom knew ?

 

3) Some places in Mata Nui, like Mount Ihu and Naho bay were named after characters that existed in the story. Were Kanae(Lake Kanae), Kumu (Kumu Islets), Motara (Motara desert), Leva (Leva Bay) and Tiro (Tiro Canyon) characters as well ?

Hi Mr. Farshtey, I have a few questions regarding Kanohi masks. Nerd

 

1. Are the Toa Inika's organic Great Kanohi identical to their normal, non-organic counterparts?

 

2. Are the mask-like face pieces used on the Maxilos and Hydraxon sets canon Kanohi shapes, even if they're powerless/unusable for those beings?

 

3. Are there any in-story reasons for why some Rahi (Visorak, Ussal Crabs, etc.) lack visible Kanohi, while others, such as Tarakava and Fikou, have them?

 

4. (Sorry if this is common knowledge) Is the Great Kualsi included with Toa Hagah Iruni in its normal shape, or is it, like Norik's Pehkui, in the shape of another mask?

1) That would make sense, but I would want to look back at the script before giving a definite answer.

2) Has it ever been stated what color their armor is?
