The TV series? Not to my knowledge.
Oh my brick! Greg Farshtey replied to me! *faints then wakes up*
Yeah, I meant the TV Series. So you don't know if she'll appear...
Did you have yourself a merry little Christmas with your daughter?
Do you have any tips for a kid who wants to write a book?
Last question: Where can I get your books?
Hello GregF!
Based on the fact that Mata Nui has never flown outside of Solis Magna, how many planets are there in this system (SM that is)? We know at least six(Spherus Magna and other planets from TLR(2 terrestrial planets, an icy planet, a gas giant and a rocky terrestrial planet)).

The opening scene of The Legend Reborn is uncanon. The only things know is Solis Magna (the star), The red star (well kinda) and Sphearus magna (split into Bara Magna, Bota Magna and Aqua Magna). Mata Nui did leave Solis Magna as a robot, and later returned, but Teridax put him to sleep right above Aqua Magna. The Ignika only flew from Aqua Magna (the blue moon) to Bara Magna.
1. is the maze of shadows GBA game canon? I only ask because it more or less follows the books plot.
2. Why did makuta use infected masks in 2001 instead of his rahi control power?

2. we know what their (pre-stated matoran) masks would have been, but would their weapons have been the same as the toa metru of their element?
3. if a matoran nui of destined matoran was given 6 toa stones, would they become a toa nui (despite the normal impossibility of this) or would the nui have shattered and resulted in 6 toa?
4. in Time Trap, you said that vakama built Nuju's teloscopic sight onto his mask, does this mean that most Matatu would be symmetrical and not hace the teloscope? (pg. 35 if you're curious)
5. are all matoran the same build as the metru nui matoran sets? (since the Tohunga were shrunken, the Rebuilt Mata Nui Matoran were rebuilt shrunken, the Karda Nui Av-matoran were absorbing light, and the Voya Nui were "fixed" shrunken)
6. verifying- is Barraki the name of the six leaders only, and the League of Six Kingdoms is the organization?
7. is each Barraki a different species?
8. how close are the Barraki sets to their original form?
9. are there any of them that are species we are familiar with?
10. could a toa of iron modify his armor, non-organic body peices, and weapons, maybe even change between weapons at any given time? (providing he had enough elemental power)
buried

2. if so, since they didn't show up in the MU, are the stored in stasis on SM?
3. could a vote be held for the ending of Powers that Be, Yesterday Quest, and trivia like Orde's mask power, Zaria's mask power, wether or not Zaria had turned evil and smashed all his opponents, where Gaardus whent off to, etc.?
call out to anyone who reads this (especially Boidoh): I am not good at running votings/polls, if yes to the above, will someone run it for me?
I'd assume Greg would say yes to stuff like Orde's and Zaria's Mask Power, the other stuff wouldn't be exactly the stuff a poll can get the results of. I'd be willing to run it.
I have been considering this, and have thus rephrased the question:
3. what are Orde and Zaria's mask powers?
3.5. was Zaria actually evil, or was that just a rumor?
1. How did all the masks on Mata Nui get there; did Vakama make them all, or did they bring them from Metru Nui?
2. If Vakama made them, where did he get the Energized Protodermis for the Kanohi Nuva?
3.How did the Toa Nuva (Phantoka) get their Midak Skyblasters; if Takanuva's was brand new in the Kingdom (alternate FUTURE)?

Maze of Shadows isn't canon to my knowledge.
2. When was it decided that romance would be non-canon in the MU?

The opening of TLR is canon. And Greg confirmed that Mata Nui did never leave Solis Magna.

No the opening isn't, he only flew in the Ignika from Aqua Magna to Bara Magna, not around whole Solis Magna.

1. Is Lariska the only one left of her species?
2. When was it decided that romance would be non-canon in the MU?
1) I don't believe so, no
2) Well, a better question would be when was it decided that romance WOULD be canon, and the answer is never. Romance never made sense in the context of this universe, nor would it have made sense that Velika would have given anyone that trait. It served no purpose. This was, at the end of the day, a machine and the point was to keep the machine functioning. Love in terms of love of friends made sense, because that inspires loyalty and working together. Romantic love, on the other hand, might cause one to ignore their work, or get into personal disputes that would affect their work (which is why dating in the workplace is frowned upon). Considering that among humans, where love serves a purpose in helping the species to continue, the concept of "romantic love" did not exist until the Middle Ages, I couldn't see why it would have any reason to exist in BIONICLE.
Think about it - if tyou could give the parts of your car personalities, would you feel the need to make them fall in love with each other? Do you really want your brakes fighting with your engine, or your exhaust pipe daydreaming about the fanbelt? No. To the GBs, these were parts that made a big machine go, not a social experiment, and even to Velika, there were boundaries he saw no reason to cross.

1) They were brought from Metru Nui, and the Nuva masks appeared after they became Nuva through an automatic system, if I recall correctly (and I may not be)
3) As you say, Takanuva's was from an alternate future. Things got developed at different points in that timeline.

2. Why did makuta use infected masks in 2001 instead of his rahi control power?
1) I never played the game, so I don't know if there were things in it that would not be canon.
2) Because the Rahi control power did not exist in 2001. We had not come up with the 42 Makuta powers until we had to come up with powers for the kraata. Also keep in mind that part of the point of an infected mask was that if you could get a Toa to wear one, it would allow Makuta to influence him. A Rahi control power would not have been able to do that.
