Chat with Greg Farshtey

Hello Greg!

1. Nidhiki in mutated form had silver armor, however the Iruini set, that was originally ment to be Nidhiki, is gold, as is Lhikan's, would it be silver, gold or just plain earth green? If gold, can we assume that the other Mangai would have gold?

2. Are Axonn, brutaka, Umbra, Hydraxon, Trinuma, Artakha and Karzahni one-of-a-kind species?

3. a. If one was to use a Mohtrek, can one summon a version of him/her self that's not wearing a Mohtrek.

b. If a Toa was to use one, would they be able to summon Matoran versions of him/her?

4. Where are the rest of the Great beings species that were not Great Beings?

5. Where any of the ~20 Great Beings female?

6. Does Matoran/Toa of light (Tanma and Takanuva for example) remain extra large after leaving Karda Nui?

7. What happened to the Visorak when Tahu used the golden armor?

Thanks!

WillBrownman	2015-03-02 14:11 UTC–5 Permalink Just a few (BIONICLE) questions for Greg! 1) Are wisdom and valour/valor elements? 2) Would the names of the Toa Mata/Nuva correlate to the prefixes of their elements 3) Why do words for elements not match with their prefixes? eg Ce-/Matatu relating to Telepathy/Psionics. Are they just different words for a similar thing? 4) Could Ekimu and Makuta mean Creation and Control? 5) Is it possible for an entity to have 2+ elements without being a fusion? 6) Should we refer to the original storyline as G1 and the new storyline as G2, or just as new Bionicle and old Bionicle? Thank you in advance! -Will

I think they just wanted to go in a different direction. I am closely associated with old BIONICLE, so I think they wanted more "new" associated with new BIONICLE.

VORTIXXFAN_2	2015-03-02 15:16 UTC–5 Permalink Greg, do you know if Vortixx exist in the bionicle reboot?
TonksM	2015-03-02 19:21 UTC–5 Permalink I'm not Greg, but I believe I can answer part of your Mangai. 1b. The Mangai, from my understanding, aren't like other Toa groups we know, they didn't all come from one population of Matoran, thus their Toa forms have very little baring on each other. Toa armour is generated around normal Matoran > Toa beings on the perception of the wearer, so Lhikan, Tuyet, Nidhiki, Naho & the other Mangai could have completely different body designs to each other.

In the prison breakout scene in episode 43, the Ninja fight against the giant stone warrior and 2 nindroids. How come the giant stone warrior was in jail if he was trapped in the bottomless pit? 2b. How come he's not under Dareth's control, as Darethowns the helmet of Shadows 2c. The second nindroid fought by Zane was General Cryptor. How is this possible if Cryptor died in the Titanium Ninja? 3. Is the upcoming Ultra Agents villain in Antimatter's Portal HQ based off of Breakjaw from Agents? They have the same helmet, and they it use mind-controlled Sharks at some point. 4. In the NinjagoT.V. Episodes, the stone warriors had shields; how come they don't in the sets? 5. Do you have the Lloyd DX mini Figure? 5b. How about Dareth? 6. I heard that there were two bionicle sets named "Piraka Kaita". Are these real, and if so which countries were they available in? 7. Is the "Sand Tarakava" an actual Bionicle set? Do note that Greg writes/wrote Ninjago books, not the show. 1. I belive they were. 2. Plot holes, all of it. Cryptor was even destroyed once before that, and Mindroid has been destroid twice (however, he wasn't in the jail cell, too bad). All Nindroids were destroyed I believe. 3. Don't think Greg knows, but he most likely is. 4. The set designers didn't give them any, the animators did. 5. I'll leave that for Greg. 6. While I don't know what country, they are real. And no, I'm not talking about Irnakk. 7. Yes. But super rare, and an only an... unkown number was made. Hopefully atleast LEGO knows how many... 6. They were relased in Asia. 7. Only five.
TonksM	2015-03-02 19:45 UTC–5 Permalink Hi Greg, 1. Do Matoran, Toa, & Turaga all have limited lifespans? I know that you've mentioned Turaga do die eventually from old age, but what about Matoran or Toa? 2. And if so, do they die because the organic components fail? 3. How are Matoran chosen to be Toa? You've said previously that those chosen to become Toa have latent Toa energies, when & how are they embued with these energies, and can the Turaga set which Matoran recieve latent Toa energies by the Matoran making machine? 4. Back when the Makuta were biomechanical like everyone else in the MU, could a Quick Healing Kraata heal organic & inorganic components a like? 5. If Makuta Teridax of the Melding Universe produced an equivalent Kraata to the ones Teridax (Prime) produced to infect Kanohi, what would it do to a Kanohi? 6. You mentioned that Metru Nui was literally the Great Spirit Robot's brain, is this why all the Metrus bare resemblence to synapses? 7. At what point in the story did you, & other people working on Bionicle at the time, decide that Mata Nui would be a giant robot? Who's idea was it?
