Chat with Greg Farshtey

Hello Mr. Farshtey.

1) Is it canon that Takanuva is bigger then the Toa Nuva in Karda Nui?

2) What mask did Takua have(as of his mask being blue, and he most likely didn't get disguised as a Ta-Matoran with blue mask) before his Pakari?

3) Is it possible that glatorian battle continued but as a kind of sport?

4) Does the new "Dekar-Hydraxon" have any memory of Dekar deep within?

5) Is the Marendar stopable?

6) You are amzing Greg!

7) Is Kumo one of the artists of "Kumo Rocks"?

8) What was Jaller's job on Metru Nui?

9) What mask did Naho where? The Kakama that layed nere her body?

10)

A. Why was Lhikan gold in colour? Anything with story to do or just set designers?

B. Would the other Mangai have silver or gold or would they only be their main color=

C. Were the Mangai only of the 6 main elements, as Metru Nui was, or could the final Toa Mangai be of The Green, Iron, Lightning, Gravity Etc.?

11) A few questions about the Mohtrek, Mask of Time Duplication.

A. If someone was to use it, but hasn't had it all his/her life, would it only work with the ones that got the mask? Or with him/her before the mask getting teleported into the future too?

B. When Bitil summoned his time dubbles in Karda Nui, was there any none-insectoid ones there?

C. Could you control from what time they come from, or was it random?

12) Is there any way for Pohatu and Kopaka to get off the red star? And what did Mavrah mean when he said "for the same reason as you." Was he killed by Velika nad thought Pohatu and Kopaka were too?

Thanks!

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 ? 1) Yes, they were killed. 2) No 2.1) Yes, because that is how Mutran found out about the workings of the robot. 3) No

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? Buried

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! 2.According to Bisector01 their primary color is green. Is that true, or just assumed?

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. Buried 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? Buried again...
HeroraNui	2014-11-20 18:21 UTC–5 Permalink At what stage of Bionicle's development did you become involved?
voporak1	2014-11-20 22:26 UTC–5 Permalink hello greg When and how velika has increased the sentience of the people of the MU? Why helrix was aware of the destiny of Takanuva? After the shattering the GB have kept a little of EP? Mata Nui can travel at the speed of light? or a speed a little more faster? You recently said that the Great Being cursed has escaped of the tower before it explodes. Is what the others like vezon, meserix and artakha have succeeded to escape of the tower? thanks
mrcqm	2014-11-21 00:19 UTC–5 Permalink What is your opinion on how the new story writers radically changed the toa mata's personalities? Is there anything you would change if you could?

And since when was he afraid of heights? He never mentioned that in Karda Nui. Also it was never rare for him to talk. Has Pohatu ever been afraid of the dark? If in the original story bible he ever had this trait he'd of expressed anxiety in Onu-Koro, Mangaia, and tons of other places. He never showed any nervousness in caves, thus, how can he be afraid of the dark now? If Tahu were forgetful he wouldn't of said half of the quotes he made during the final issue of the Bionicle comics (reminiscing about the "old" Tahu). Now look at my sig. Kopaka is not clumsy. In fact I do believe it takes a great sense of direction to not fall over a cliff. (Alright there was that one slip up when he became a toa nuva but I'm betting he jumped off that cliff of his own volition thinking he could use his powers to slide down safely). Bionicle had very little room for jokes (unless Vezon was involved), so how is it an important character trait that Gali cannot tell a good joke? It would seem Lewa is the only toa "master" (who came up with the bright idea of calling them that instead of a much more pleasant sounding title?) Who stayed relatively the same. Ish. I do remember him not being very rebellious and actually getting along well with the team, being more of the fun comic relief guy than anything else. read what I just typed Wow... I have genually ranted about problems that are not Greg's fault and cannot be fixed by him
BIONICHARGE	2014-11-22 02:56 UTC–5 Permalink Hello! Just one question: what would the normal versions of the Inika's Kanohi look like?
AnAverageLegoL…	2014-11-22 10:52 UTC–5 Permalink Alright, great news. After learning more about Bionicle, I'm down to just one stupid question per lot. So without futher ado, let's begin. So, on the topic of The Red Star, why can't Rahi be revived on it? Of course, there are are many reasons, like there being too many Rahi to revive, but I still wonder. Let's just get the stupid question over with. I know you don't do much planning, but judging from previous bionicle stories, I came to the conclusion that the CGB would die, A&B wouldn't, Vezon wouldn't, the matoran wouldn't, and Helryx would. Is any of this correct? Even though chances are you don't even know. Back to actual questions. Is the Energized Protodermis Entity mechanical, biomechanical, or organic? Could two Suletu users with their masks activated hear the thoughts that the other Suletu user is hearing within the other Suletu user's thoughts? Thanks for reading this questions.

I have genually ranted about problems that are not Greg's fault and cannot be fixed by him Every Toa got one additional character trait. And apart from this one additional trait, their personality stays exactly the same. So, no - as much as I hate those new traits, that's definitely not a radical change.
