#2 if this is true then Why does it appear that alot of them became bohrok?

#3 can the ignika turn bohrok back into matoran

#4 can the Ignika turn matoran who are not destined to become Toa into Toa


1) Said where, I can't find a reference to that.

3) I would say no.

4) No. If you are not destined to be a Toa, you do not have any energy in you that can be sparked by a Toa stone, and the Ignika cannot put that there.

I just wanted to ask which appearence of Turaga Dume is canon - from the movie or set?



If I recall correctly, we usually give preference to the movies in these cases.

 


Greg, do you build or 'play'  with the sets that you're characters are in?

 

And do you even buy them or something?

5b. can Makuta reproduce- create more Makuta from Antidermis, separate their antidermis into another being, etc.?

 


1) It's neither. It was done that way because doing variation would have meant more animator work and a higher budget than the film had.

2) A Matoran turns into a Toa whose appearance is based on what that Matoran thinks a Toa looks like. The Metru were never seen out of Metru Nui, so the odds are they were not a template for anyone else.

 

3) In Metru Nui, yes.

 

4) Define "normal." Since Toa can look different from place to place, Turaga can too.

 

5) No

5B) No

 

 


4. Then could Matoran? Like would the creators make something different?

There's a limit on the power of sonic screams of Makuta? Are they strong enough to cause devastating damage in the area where the Makuta has screamed?

 

Why the Makuta have never used their powers of quick healing?

 

What are the other powers of kraata of Tahu? Other than heat vision and quick healing? Teleportation? Accuracy? Adaptation power? Dodge? or density control?

Hi Greg, thanks for answering my questions again.

 

Got a few more:

 

1. If & when the Toa Nuva fulfill their destiny, and decide to pass on their mantle of Toa to a new generation of Toa, and become Turaga, will:

a. The new Toa have any Nuva abilities?

b. The Toa Nuva have an special abilities as Turaga?

 

2. Are Lhikan & Nidhiki natives to Metru Nui, or did they come from different islands like Tuyet?

 

3. Regarding your answer to Q4 in the last set, would this mean that a biomechanical Makuta would have to either get it repaired by conventional means or use a Kiril (Inorganic Regeneration mask) to heal damaged armour?

 

4. If Miserix was to create new Makuta from the Antidermis pool, would these Makuta be biomechanical or gaseous?

5. You've previously implied that the Red Star brings most of the inhabitants of the Matoran Universe back in the form they died in, so would Nidhiki, if killed in a manner that the Red Star could bring him back be brought back as a Spider creature or Toa?

6. Again, another Red Star question: Wouldn't it make more sense for the Red Star to revert Toa & Turaga back to Matoran to be workers again, rather than maintaining their current forms due to limited resources of the MU?

 

7. Many Av-Matoran were hidden among the other Matoran populations, like Takua for example, could these Av-Matoran, if were destined to become Toa become Toa of their disguise element if given a Toa stone, to maintain the illusion?

In chapter 3 of "Federation of Fear", it says "Carapar grumbled something unspeakably foul." Was he swearing, or was he muttering insults?

2. I bought Barraki Pridak online for $25 (Last year). The box shows the blood around his mouth, however, almost the entire head of the set is red. What happened?

3. In "Destiny War", it states that Nektann is taller than the average Skaldi. How come he's shorter than the Piraka in his set?!

Well, if a human man has a hip replacement and a human female has an artificial heart and a metal plate in her skull, is there baby going to be born with an artificial hip, artificial heart, and metal plate? No. Agori and Glatorian are not artificial beings like Toa and Matoran, they are much closer to you and I. So their babies are born without implants.

Not really, no. I have access to the sets at work and to images of them if I need to see what they look like or what a vehicle looks like, etc. I don't have a lot of space in my house for models or time to build.

4) Probably not. The means to make Matoran were created by the GBs, so there is no reason they would have done different versions of those means.

1) The only writing I did for HF was the five chapter books, and Scholastic cancelled that series a long time ago. So the odds are no.

2) I have nothing to do with BIONICLE 2015. Questions on it need to go in the BIONICLE forum on the LEGO Message Boards.

1a) No

1b) Yes

2) To my knowledge, Nidhiki is not. I don't know off the top of my head about Lhikan.

3) Yes

4) Makuta are not really bio-mechanical in the sense that Toa are. They are antidermis in armor. A new Makuta made of antidermis would not be gaseous until the antidermis evolved to that point.

5) Spider creature

6) No. If you do that, you lose the power of a Toa hero or the wisdom/power of a Turaga. The society needs  both, not just Matoran.

7) No

1) Could be either. It's up to the reader to decide

2) I am not on the set design or manufacturing end of things, so I can't speak to this. I  just write.

 

3) Who said the Piraka are average? The average height of a human male in the US is 5'9 and a half -- but I know plenty of people who are taller than that (like, just about every basketball player) and some people (like me) who are shorter. Average just means average - it doesn't mean every Skakdi is shorter than he is.
