Some questions about the Jutlin (Antroz's Kanohi), the Avsa (Vamprah's Kanohi), the Kiril (Dume's Kanohi) & Kanohi & Kanoka in general:

1a. Which version of the Jutlin is closest to the original look of the mask: Noble, Antroz's Phantoka version, or Jetrax Version?

1b. Same with the Avsa.

1c. BioSector01 states that the Jutlin has teeth because Antroz wants it to, I'm guessing this is also the same with the Avsa, because of Vamprah's preference. Well, how come the noble version worn by Gavla also has teeth?

2a. The Kiril has the ability to regenerate inorganic matter, can it regrow the mechanical components of a limb if it is cut off, and how effective is this arm if so?

2b. The Jutlin has the ability to break down inorganic matter, can it break down the mechanical parts of Biomechanical being like the Toa?

3a. Are powerless masks worn by Matoran made from Kanoka usually required for a mask if it is to have power? As in to make a powerless Hau (Mask Of Shielding) do you require the Kanoka of Enlarge and Regeneration in order to make that mask?

3b. Is there such a thing as a blank Kanoka?

3c. If the answer to part a is no, then does the shape of a Matoran's mask dictate the power the mask will have?

Thanks again for answering my questions.

They built Matoran and the Matoran built the robots. 4) Unknown. I was not on the HF story team. 5) No, not to my knowledge
WillBrownman	2015-03-19 15:58 UTC–5 Permalink Personal opinion question- do you think we'll see any movies for Gen2 Bionicle? Also, what would you call the Okoto villagers? Once again, personal opinion, I know you get annoyed when people ask you story-based questions for Gen2. -Will

Did Brutaka ever get his dorsal fin removed, or does he still have it? 3. Is "void" actually an element, if so how common is it? 4. Why did the Toa Nuva suddenly need symbols to contain their elemental energy? 5. If six toa of different elements (besides light/shadow) all unleashed a nova blast at the same time, what would happen? Would the radius be six times as big? Would it trap everything in a toa seal? Thank you in advance for answering! 1) Probably lost when the robot died 2) Don't recall 3) Void is not a Toa element, no 4) I'm not sure what you mean by "suddenly need." The nuva symbols came along with the existence of Nuva. 5) Probably the latter On question five, in the process of creating the toa seal nova blast, would the toa trap each other? Sorry I forgot to ask you earlier.

"Personal opinion" can't really come into when I am posting as a LEGO employee.

Makuta's ability does not allow him to animate a corpse. So even if he went in, he wouldn't be able to make the body move. 1a) The RS might not read the body as dead if there is mental activity, but Makuta would just be in a body he couldn't move. 2) No 3) No, it wouldn't work, because it works on AI, which Glatorian do not have 4) Yes. Their eyes are not organic. 5) He can only survive for a set amount of time. He doesn't die instantly. He simply has to use the time to possess another body. 6) No 7) In 2009? Toa. The Mask of Life doesn't know from Glatorian bodies. 8) Inside 9) No. You can't will yourself to undo an EP mutation

Then why didn't the Makuta in Karda Nui do so? 5. What even causes the dissipation? And what about the Antidermis filled Zamor Spheres and Antidermis Vat? Why didn't it dissipate in there. Did Teridax know he would dissipate? 9. Could the Ignika reverse it?
algodrew	2015-03-20 21:29 UTC–5 Permalink Greg, Sorry if this was asked before, but was Tren Krom made by the Great Beings in the image of Annona? Both are crimson, gelatanious, tentacled organic masses.
slipperysnakeb…	2015-03-21 03:38 UTC–5 Permalink If you can say... 1) What was going to be the original plotline for after Mata-Nui landed on SM? As in, there were meant to be other movies, and I heard at some point Mata-Nui and his friends get banished to Bota Magna. If you can't say... I understand.
rockmonster2000	2015-03-21 12:36 UTC–5 Permalink Hi Mr. Farshtey, I have a Ninjago question for you: In the tournament of elements, it was revealed that there are other elements than fire, lightning, earth, and ice. If this is so, the why are there only golden weapons for the main fire, lightning, earth, and ice? Are there golden weapons for the other elements too? Thank you! Best Regards, Rockmonster2000

As in, there were meant to be other movies, and I heard at some point Mata-Nui and his friends get banished to Bota Magna. If you can't say... I understand. There were supposed to be two more movies, in 2010 and 2011. But because the announcement of BIONICLE's cancellation came just as the story team was about to discuss 2010 movie/plot, no official story for 2010 or 2011 exist. I jotted down a couple of ideas, but no one on the story team had even reviewed them, let alone approved them, at the time we got the news. So the simple answer to your question is that there is no answer.
