Ah yes, I remember a few mentionings of those dinosaurs. I think the first i saw was from that rough copy of a script that somebody who was "official" wrote (maybe you?) for the 5th BIONICLE movie. Which leads me to my next question. How much of the BIONICLE storyline was YOUR idea? Were any of the big plot ideas your own (Matoro's death, Mata Nui dying, Mata Nui being a robot), or did you mostly handle the smaller story details?

Also, as a side question, were Vortixx different colors? I know that Roodaka had black armor, but in one of the comics there was a green vortixx. Was that just a mistake, or can Vortixx really be green?

Thank you!!!!

p.s. To save time, you could probably ask the mods to not let through all the questions about the serials continuing. I understand that not everybody reads every question, so there are doubles, but there is an outrageous amount of people asking that same question. Just a friendly suggestion

It varied. For example, Mata Nui being a robot was NOT my idea. Mata Nui dying was mine and someone else's, I think. Makuta's secret plan to take over Mata Nui's body was my idea. Some things I did, and some things were ideas someone had, then I built on, then someone else built on, and it wound up being a team effort.

What about the dinosaurs? Were those a Greg Farshtey original? 

 

Also, could you answer my 2nd question from my last post? I will paste it below:

Thank you so much! I don't mean to sound like a nag, I'm just a long time fan who loves the story!  BTW it is awesome that you are doing this at all!

1) Don't remember

2) I don't think we ever said they all had to be black, so it's possible

Greg Farshtey, IS BIONICLE EVER GOING TO COME BACK? Bionicle is the best theme in LEGO, but is it ever going to come back, or is it done.

---

I have no idea, Matt. LEGO still owns it, so it could be brought back, but that is a decision that would need to be made by the folks who run the company. So I have no idea if it is being considered at all.

I know there is no plans to bring it back, but do you WANT it to return? If it did, what would your plans be?
You mentioned you had plans for 2 more movies. What would their synopsises be?

---

Of course I want it back. I am a BIONICLE fan. But I have no "plans" because there is no way to know if I would even be working on it. And only one synopsis was ever written.

Greg, can I have a list of EVERY theme you ever worked on?

If you are looking for lines I have actually been on the story team for, it is pretty much just BIONICLE. I have written freelance for BIONICLE, Ninjago, Chima, LEGO DC Super Heroes and Hero Factory. I have done Club magazine work on pretty much every theme for the last 13 years.

---

Okay, thanks. Do you still do Club magazine work? If so, what did you do in the most recent mag?

---

I'm the Editorial Director for the Club Magazine, yes. We are working on the November issues now.

I just realized, if you reveal the Shadowed one's name it would be considered Fan-Fiction now.

When you wrote the stories where did you get your inspiration? Did it just come to you? Or did you have to look for it? Sometimes it comes in the most unexpected places.

It's really hard to identify where your inspiration comes from. I think if you do this long enough, you just start to think  in story ideas.
