I know the story team needed the Inika to advance the story, but I always found this a little confusing. Thanks! The Nuva landed on Voya Nui not expecting a battle, and not prepared for the Piraka. That's why they lost. The Inika already knew there was terrible danger there, because the Nuva had vanished, so they were better prepared for what they encountered.

But there are plenty of earlier examples of teams of villains fighting for "good" that predate Suicide Squad. It's a pretty common plot.

Wait? Graphic novels? are you also an artist? Or do you have a illistrator? The graphic novels I did for Ninjago were illustrated by Jolyon Yates.

That's why they lost. The Inika already knew there was terrible danger there, because the Nuva had vanished, so they were better prepared for what they encountered. In addition, the Piraka, being Skakdi, did possess limited Elemental powers; presumably they could simply work together to destroy any Elemental attacks that the Nuva came up with. The Inika, however, had Lightning intertwined with their Elemental abilities, which the Piraka could not counter in the same way.
Rtwo-Dtwo	2015-02-19 16:22 UTC–5 Permalink Hey Greg, if the Inika/Mahri fulfilled their destiny by using the mask of life, how come they aren't turaga?
lordbio123	2015-02-19 19:44 UTC–5 Permalink 1) Why do so many electronic devices need batteries? 2) They were building a huge, sophisticated machine. Huge, sophisticated machines can break down. This is like saying you had to be a clairvoyant to know autos would require mechanics at some point. 3) Because he looked nothing like the Nidhiki they knew. If you had a best friend named Sam, and one day a giant toad shows up called Sam, would you automatically assume that's your friend? 4) There are psychological differences between the genders. 3. Then what about Tuyet? Surely she would have been remembered, oh and how did Lhikan know it was Nidhiki? We only saw a very few Matoran encountering Tuyet during Teridax's reign, so we don't know one way or the other how well she was remembered by the population at large. Consider the fact that by the time she returned, the Matoran had had their memories of life on Metru Nui wiped. True. But, this is just a hypothecy, please tell me if it's possible or no Okay so we know that the Metru weren't wiped, so, i presume, they would remember Tuyet. Seeing how she was one of the Mangai, and what she did, would it be possible they would dislike her upon return or something? I would think Nokama would definetely remember, them being in Ga-Metru y'know. Oh and Tuyet mentioned Nokama but she was lying i think.

Yes How, and was it ever shown in the comics? No, it wasn't show in the comics - comics had to reflect what sets looked like, because the point of them was to sell sets. And I assume you would take it off the same way you would take off other armor. Can matoran "put on" the adaptive armor?
Constructman2	2015-02-20 00:05 UTC–5 Permalink Hello Greg. A few things I was wondering: 1) what was the point of Antidermis? Was it ever elaborated why the Great Beings created it? Did they know Mata Nui was going to create the Makuta? Were they around for the Makuta's creation or had Mata Nui already departed Spherus Magna by then? 1.5) what motivated the Great Beings to create the plans for the Golden Armor? Did they know that the Antidermis was sentient and could potentially rebel? 2) How intelligent were the Matoran and other beings prior to Velika's Awakening of them? They seemed intelligent enough to sufficiently pass as sapient, so what exactly was changed? Or were Helryx, the Toa Mata, Hydraxon, and the other beings seen in Legends #10 exceptions with most of the inhabitants of the MU being drones? 3) How many MU species were created prior to Mata Nui's departure of Spherus Magna? Would the Great Beings have known about Skakdi, Vortixx, Makuta, etc.?
Danielhll23	2015-02-20 01:55 UTC–5 Permalink Mostly Agori/Glatorian themed questions, with a random fourth thrown in, for science. 1. Are the Agori and Glatorian the same species? 2. Were the Agori/Glatorian created by the Great beings? 3. Are Agori/Glatorian built by machines like the Matoran, or are they created naturally/biologically? 4. Turaga Vakama uses the word "Bionicle" at least twice in the novel and movie of Legands of Metru Nui. What is the significance of this word to them?
garmagic	2015-02-20 05:34 UTC–5 Permalink I don't know if you are working with the reboot of Bionicle, but I have a question. Can the islanders of Okoto be male or female no matter their element, or does their gender depends of their element, like the Matoran?
TonksM	2015-02-20 07:34 UTC–5 Permalink Hi Greg, I'm a long time fan of Bionicle, joined about 2002, loved it ever since. I'm just wondering, what sort of time scale Bionicle is on in comparitive Earth Years? As in, I'm guessing for a measure of time, the Great Beings used the time it takes for Spherus Magna to orbit its sun for the length of a year that the Matoran Universe has, so how long is a Spherus Magna year compared to an Earth Year? And on a related note, does the Great Spirit Robot, and by proxy, the Great Beings, have any form of FTL travel?
Phiaa	2015-02-20 07:40 UTC–5 Permalink 1. What have Karzhani done to the Matoran of the island of Lesovikk that don't had any problems to fix? 2. Do any of the Lesovikk's island Matoran offered resistance when they were forced to go to Karzhani by their Turaga? I think that the entire population of an island could have easily defeat one person. 3. Recently you said that the Great Beings were Glatorian, so does this mean that the emergency pilots of the Great Spirit Robot were GBs?

More pondering, I see. No, just busy. And no plans were ever made for coloration, since we already knew they would never be sets.
