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)).


I don't have this information. Since we never intended taking BIONICLE into space, we never discussed how many planets were in the system.

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?


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.


Maze fo Shadows essentianlly chronicled the Toa Metru retrieving the engergized protodermis for Karzahni. The only element of the game that conflicts with existing canon is that the Toa encounter bohrok during the game, though this was explained by the short story "Protection".

Greg I have a couple of questions .





What happened to the piraka?





How did kazi react when velika revealed himself as a great being?





Was Toa mata nui ever in the BIONICLE story line?





What happen to takadox?
How come not all of the BIONICLE characters were in the BIONICLE story website?





1) They became part of the fused being in one of the BIONICLE serials.

2) Velika has never revealed himself to be one to Kazi.

3) Mata Nui's body resembled a Toa in 2009 storyline, I don't recall off the top of my head if he called himseld a Toa at some point in the movie.

4) I don't believe his fate has ever been revealed.

5) There were a LOT of BIONICLE characters by the time BIONICLEstory.com started, You could never have fit them all on there.


3) What WAS Mata Nui when he was given a form on Bara Magna, anyway? It's already been confirmed that Toa and Glatorian are very, very different species. Did the Ignika decide to just simply give him a form similar to that of the inhabitants of the planet? And if so, what would've happened if the Ignika had accidentally picked an Agori as his base form?

 

Also, if he was in fact a Toa, what element would he have? Life?


Well, the Titan set named "Toa Mata Nui" was never in the story, and is just a big version of the canister set. The form the Ignika gave him is based on a Toa, but is no real Toa, nor a Glatorian. He's only a body made of sand by the Ignika. He doesn't really have an element either, but the ignika kinda gives him life powers.

He had a Toa body. The Ignika did not know how to make a Glatorian body, because it was designed for use in the MU. That does not mean he WAS  a Toa, simply that he had a Toa body.


Hm...I see. So why did he resemble a Glatorian in the movie? Was it because of the animators? Obviously he wouldn't look like a Toa Metru/Nuva, but one would think the animators would've made an effort to make him look different, considering he looked exactly like the Glatorian.

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.


2. But you have said before that it was put in at the beginning, when "you didn't know Bionicle would last more than a year"


But not by the story team - by the web producer who thought it would be cute. The story team never made a decision to include romance in BIONICLE.


Ok, thanks! By the way, I loved your reasoning behind it being non-canon.

What was it that caused the Masks of Power to be scattered across the Island of Mata Nui when the Toa Mata arrived?

Hello, Greg! I have a serious question for BIONICLE:

 

So the Toa powers where connected to the Toa Symbols on Mata Nui, which soon became Nuva Symbols, correct?

 

If so, why did Tahu keep his powers when Ta-Koro was sunken by the Rahkshi, as the suva would have been destoyed? (Not saying the Suva limited his powers, but he put his Nuva Symbol in the Suva.)

 

And if that didn't destroy it, how come Tahu used his powers on Bara Magna if the island of Mata Nui was completely destroyed? I mean, Mata Nui's rising for sure would have destroyed the suvas AND the symbols.

 

Thanks!

The Turaga had hidden them, I believe.

So I've got a question about vezok. Is there a limit to how much power vezok can absorb at once? I know he can absorb multiple because I've read the story where he absorbed jaller's and matoro's at once. Like can he absorb for let's say one toa of each element, primary or not were close to vezok. Could he copy them all?

I think there would have to be an upper limit. All of the comic characters who had this power, like Amazo or the Adaptoid, had upper limits.

I THINK these are fairly easy. After the Bohrok-Kal adventure, the symbols were being safeguarded by the Turaga, so they were not on the suva when they were stolen. And they were brought to Metru Nui, and secured there, so there is no reason to believe they were destroyed in the rising. Remember, the robot had stood before, and flown around space, and the interior was not destroyed by that. There was obviously a system in place to keep that from happening, similar to what they had on the Enterprise in Star Trek.
