1: What is Vezon's importance in the storyline?
2: What was Artakha made to do?
3: Metru Nui is supposed to be the "brain" of Mata Nui, so how come during the Great Cataclysm, it sticks out of the ocean (or at least, its cloaking device)?
1) Not sure where to start with this. Are you aware of Vezon's actions in the storyline?
2) Artakha was a creator. He built things.
3) Where better to put your sensor arrays and information-gathering tech than in the brain? That's where ours are.
1: Well, he was made by the Spear of Fusion hitting Vestok in reverse. He stole the spear afterwards, and he was the first between the Piraka and Toa to find the Mask of Life. Which fused him with a Fenrakk spider. The toa/piraka had to battle him for the MoL. That's as much as I know
3: But the cloaking device sticks out of the ocean, which implies that Metru Nui is not in the head, but on it.
1) I would suggest you check out one of the BIONICLE Wikis out there, which would have the whole Vezon story. It would take quite a while for me to type it all out here.
3) Metru Nui is not on the head. It's inside the head. The camouflage system covers the robot's face. Its brain is inside, the same as yours is.
1: That would probably help 
3: So what's up with the island being shape exactly like Metru Nui? Since it's not covering MN itself.
4: I got to thinking about question 3 and something came to me. Does Mata Nui have an atmosphere around himself (when in space, of course)?

1) Depends on if that Toa is destined to become a Nuva. If not, the EP will just kill him/her.2) No idea.
3) The only planet? No.
3. What are other ones?

Not something we ever worried about, since we never intended for BIONICLE to be come a space travel/space exploration line.

We never saw any evidence that Krahka could use mask powers, no.

1) That was one of those things devised by the original story team and never explained to the rest of us.
2) Zaktan's mutation makes him particularly resilient in situations that would kill anyone else.
3) Entirely new entity.
4) From himself.

So if a Krahka turned into a toa and put on a mask would it work?

Krahka can duplicate natural abilities, which is why she can turn into Vakama and use his fire power. There's no evidence she can duplicate equipment powers, plus it is doubtful she has the mental discipline to use a Kanohi even if she had a real one.
I hope this actually shows up this time...
1. If the Toa Inika's destiny was to keep Mata Nui from croaking, why aren't they Turaga now? Is it because that was only Matoro's Job?
2. Will we ever know what the other 4 Toa Hagah look like?
3. The Toa Nuva awakened Mata Nui, so why aren't they Turaga either? Is it because they were built as Toa?
3b. In the 2010 flashback thingy, the toa are in green tubes, and Tahu is shown in his STARS form, why is this if he looked different in 2001? Artist mistake?
4. When your daughter is older (and less high-maintenence ;]), will you ever resume the Bionicle serials?

1) We don't know that was their destiny. Even if it was, you only become a Turaga if you choose to become one, it's not automatic.
2) I don't see how that would happen
3) Again, you have to choose to become a Turaga. The Nuva have not done so.
3b) That was five years ago, and I had nothing to do with the art, so I can't speak to this.
4) I can only resume the serials if LEGO Company says I can. I already asked about doing this last year. Given that they are trying to introduce a new story, having new bits of old story floating around would just be confusing. (Just the other day, I saw a fan posting he had seen all four movies and then saw the 2015 webisodes and was completely baffled, until someone explained it was two different story universes.) Basically, it doesn't profit new BIONICLE for me to be telling old BIONICLE story online.

1)if the toa mahri dream is to have Matoro back with them could the fusion golden being that is with the Skakdi make the toa mahri dreams true?
1) Good question. I don't think it would be the "real" Matoro, if it did. It would be a construct from their memories of him, not the real being ... it would be fake.
But if they (the Toa Mahri) simply wish that Matoro "come back to life as he ever was before his death", that wouldn't automatically bring back the "real" Matoro, an exact copy of himself before his death (so... Matoro)?
Buried.

No, for two reasons:
1) Because, again, how he was before his death would be based on their memories of him ... that is all the GSB would have to work from. And ...
2) We already have the red star as a means to bring most dead characters back. We don't need to add another way to do it in the story. Matoro's sacrifice becomes meaningless if we bring him back from the dead, so I will oppose any effort to do so officially.

I would say, as of Teridax's reign, probably 250.
Is the golden skinned being completely organic or biomechanical?
