Ok.

 

What is the red star?


The red star is a satellite that orbits whatever planet Mata Nui is on. Its purpose is to retrieve nanotech that ceases to function, download its AI into a new body, and send it back into the robot.


That was unexpected for MESurprised!  Was there any story of how MATORO came back to life?


Matoro never came back to life. For the RS to work, the head at least has to be intact so that the AI can be downloaded. Nothing of Matoro's body survived his death, it was all turned into energy.


Man, I wish he was still aliveSad.  Who's the shadowed one? 


Leader of the Dark Hunters.


Ok.  Why couldn't TAKANUVA get through the barrier in Bionicle Legends #2 Dark destiny?  Of course the tablet said that they're is no place for light, but there always is a place for light.  Right??


Uh, bit late, but Scholastic did a book called Bionicle the... Just checking...Encyclopedia. And it was actually written by you Greg, according to the cover.

Just wondering... Could it be possible (at least in the original BIONICLE) for someone to have more than one element?

I was freshening up on my memory on the Melding Alternate Universe today, on BS01. And I was wondering,

 

1. Were Jaller, Hahli, Hewkii, etc. in this universe?

If so,

2. Were they Toa or Matoran?

 

3. Can a Turaga ever become a Toa again?

 

You don't have to answer this one.

4. What is your favorite Toa team?

 

5. Would you consider the Exo-Toa a mech or an armor

 

6. Can you create a mask worn by a Kiata(Mask of wisdom or Mask of Valor, for example) by carving a disk created by combining the disks required to create the masks of the Toa who are part of the Kiata?

Hi, sorry Greg!! First, the Red Star is scanning the Matoran Universe like it always does, but, as we know, it cannot send beings back after they have been repaired and put into new bodies by the Kestora.  In this instance, the Red Star notes that the being known as Takutanuva has split apart into the something it cannot detect (Teridax's antidermis) and Takanuva. It notices that Takanuva is dead however.  Since its range is 22,300 miles it begins to teleport Takanuva to the Red Star, as it was designed to do. The Red Star however, notices while Takanuva is being teleported to the Red Star that he is still alive, so mid-transfer to the Red Star, Takanuva is sent back down to Mangaia where he is greeted by the Turaga, Toa Nuva, Hahli, and Jaller.


I don't think it would send him back mid-transfer. At the least, he would have to materialize on the RS before being sent back. But this seems a way more complicated explanation than this needs. If the teleportation system was working, why could not Takanuva have been revived on the RS and sent back?


For Takanuva to be sent back to Mangaia, we would have to establish that he made it to the Red Star and was repaired. Okay, I can accept that, but my one caviat is that based on the Mask of Light movie, Takanuva was revived extremely quickly (within 30 seconds of dying or so). For your theory to work, we would have to assume that the Kestora can repair Takanuva in impecable time, and that the Red Star's teleportation beam was very fast as well.

There is no Visual Dictionary for BIONICLE on Amazon anywhere, although they still have all the other BIONICLE books. While it is certainly possible something like that could have been written by someone other than me, I find it very hard to believe it could have been published without my knowing anything about it since I was working closely with LEGO Licensing at that time and I reviewed a lot of stuff done by other people.
