  1. What do the 'Great Beings' actually look like? Do they look like glatorian or us?
  2. As long as the Red Star is intact are all MU basicly unkillable?

Also thanks for carrying on the Bionicle story for a bit after the line ended.


1) I can't answer this

2) It seems that way, although we don't know exactly what condition they come back in, and right now, none of them can bet back to the MU.

Where do the matoran, agori, toa, ect live now? did they create a new mega-village, or did they go into seperate villages again?


My guess would be they would stay pretty close together initially. Having separate villages on Mata Nui made them vulnerable.

1) Matoran Universe characters are not capable of romantic love, Spherus Magna characters are.

2) No. LEGO does not have a license for Dragonball, for one thing, so we could not use anything from that universe in anything we did.

3) No idea, since one does not exist

Wow!  A chance to talk to GregF himself!  Can't pass this up, so here goes:

 

1) Any info on Voporak and the Vahi?

2) Can Spherus Magna inhabitants use Kanohi powers?

 

(Sorry if anyone has already asked these questions.)

So I'm responding with this question:

 


Wait- What about Huki+Maku Hewkii+Macku? I mean, there was a romantic-like moment in the end of the Bohrok Swarms. "To Macku, with lots of love, Huki" appeared in her hut in MNoG, and as far as I was know, those were both 'canon?' Does this mean that:

A) That part of it was not 'canon'

B) There was a greater extent of the personality glitch between them

C) Other

Thanks for answering all my questions so far Greg, but I've still got more: 1) What happened to the Dark Hunter “Tyrant”? 2) Does “the Shadowed One’s” name contain “Kra”? 3) How longs will you still be doing this chat? 4) Does Bionicle stand for ‘Biological Chronicle’ or ‘Bionic Chronicle’? 5) What do you think about the low amount of purple parts available? (I’ve never seen a Toa of Gravity MOC without a purple Pakari.) 6) Did you ever think a Toa element was overpowered? 7) Why does the Dark Hunter “Eliminator” wear a Krana on his head, or isn’t that of story relevance? 8) Why did Teridax lock Mata Nui in the mask of Life, one of the legendary and most powerful masks, instead of just killing him? 9) Toas of Water are female because they are calmer, Toas of Psionics because they are more gentle and Toas of Lightning because they are more careful, is that right or not? 10) What is the right plural of ‘Toa’ and ‘Matoran’? 11) I've got a MOC named 'Listrik', this wouldn't be officially allowed because of the naming controversy, would it?

By the way, I asked what you would feel like if Kopaka was a Vahki, because Kopaka is you favorite character to write about, and the Vahkis are your least favorite. So this would be a fun thing to think about.Joking

Is Kapara actually a Ta Matoran? Joking  After all, he can teleport in Mnog (Which, as far as I can tell, does not contradict canon.).  Also, any plans of another Hero Factory book?


Yes, he is.

 

After Dark Mirror Universe, the HF series is finished, unfortunately.


Okay, just making sure.

 

What?  No! SadCrying  Finished for this year?  Or finished for all time?

Was there ever going to be a BIONICLE Graphic Novel #10?


Had BIONICLE continued, yes, there would have been because the graphic novel series sold very well.


Hmm.  I wish that LEGO would have not cancelled BIONICLE. Crying  Then we would have gotten more details on the journey to the maze and a story with bio-mechanical dinosaurs! HappyHappyHappy  Did you have any plans on what would happen once they got to Bota Magna at the end of 2010?


We hadn't done detailed planning for 2011 yet.


Okay.

I have been seriously considering making a fanfiction of BIONICLE.  If I do, I would make it not contradict the story in any way. Smile  My question is this:  should the story start with a tense scene and then backtrack?  Or should it start at the beginning?  Again, thanks so very much for your time. Smile


That's your call to make, Daler. I have done it both ways.


Okay.  I'll think about it.

I came up with some, especially toward the end, but not every name. And basically you just throw some letters together, run it through Google, see how many hits you do or don't get, and go from there. Then it has to be legally checked to make sure someone else doesn't already own  it.


Well. Joking That's simpler than I thought it was. Joking
