If so, how long after death is a body transported to the Red Star?
If a Tryna has re-animated a body after death, will it prevent the body being transported to the Red Star?1) As long as he or she died within the MU, yes
2) Pretty quickly
3) Yes
You say they would have to die within the MU, I thought previously you said that they just had within the range of the Red Star to be revived. So does this mean that the eligable MU beings now on Spherus Magna don't get revived if they die?
The RS is programmed to transport to and from the MU. If you die outside of the MU, you don't get teleported so you don't get revived.
Does this include anyone who died on the island of Mata Nui?
Mr. Farshtey, I have a few questions about the makeup/functionality of Krana.
1. Are they organic, or BioMechanical?
2. How do they give a physical attribute to a Bohrok. Say, a Krana Vu giving a Bohrok flight. Does it initalize a system that was already placed in the Bohrok's physical systems, or does it somehow provide levetation through the Krana itself? I guess the same question could be asked of Great and Noble masks also.
3. If they are organic, how do they override programing of the being they "inhabit?"
Finally I would like to say I really enjoyed your writing in the original Bionicle series. You gave great insight into what the Bionicle relm was like.
Thanks!

Yes. See the Journies of Takanuva as a reference. He went to about three, if I recall.
Where can you find the story?
tntkirill24 wrote:Greg! I have a question: why the original bionicle story was ended?
Basically, for the same reason any toy line ends -- sets sales were declining. A lot of the people who had been into BIONICLE when it started had aged out of it, and though they were still into the story, they weren't buying sets as much. So it was decided to end it while there was still some interest in the line, rather than wait until it died, so that LEGO could bring it back someday if they wanted to.
Hey Mr.Farshtey, I've got a precise question about Visorak, the island.
When Makuta Chirox unleashed the Visorak to test their capacities, he released them on Tobduk's village only or throughout the island?
Now that Tuma has no use of Metus, would he kill or abandon him? Or would they remain allied?

And was Tobduk's village perhaps the only village?

Which Mask of Creation are you asking about? Artakha's or the one in the new story?
Either, but preferably artakha's

"Ninjago 8: Destiny of Doom" graphic novel
1. What was the purpose of the Ignition Key? Garmadon shows it to the Ninja, but he doesn't use it later.
2. How Garmadon teleport himself and the Ninja? Cole say something about gates, so did Garmadon know about some portals scattered around the world? Or maybe it was the purpose of the Ignition Key?
3. When was Garmadon's machine built? Before or after the events from "Stone Cold"?
4. Was there any name for Garmadon's machine in comic script? Or was it just "ultimate weapon"?
Other
5. In various media Garmadon (during his exile in Underworld) uses many different powers:
- In TV show he can appear in Ninjago as a shadow and create shadow warriors.
- In both TV show and "Stone Cold" he can create illusions.
- In "Stone Cold" he form water in shape of his body.
- In flashback from "Destiny of Doom" he hypnotize himself and Samukai.
So my question is: Were his powers described in the story bible? Or maybe you create them (the ones from graphic novels) based on what was written about Garmadon in the story bible?
I think these questions got lost.

I have a few questions on Ninjago. Some of them you most likely won't be able to answer, but please tell me what you can.
2.) Why didn't you mention the Anacondrai tribe in your early Serpentine comics? (Or in any of them, for that matter.)
3.) Will you be making any more Ninjago comic books before Papercutz's license expires? And, if so, will it include the Anacondrai, Lloyd, P.I.X.A.L., Dareth, Skylor, or some of the other minor major characters?
6.) Do you know if Seliel got enough popularity to be used again?
Also, I wish you could do another interview with TTV, even if you didn't talk much about Bionicle.
1) Because he gets a lot of screen time on the show, so he doesn't need to be featured as much in the comics.
2) Just didn't. It wasn't intentional, they just didn't come up.
3) No. Papercutz is not publishing any Ninjago books this year. #11 was my last one.
4-5) I can't discuss future storyline plans
6) I doubt it.
Okay, I decided I had some follow-ups
2) But it was known early on Pythor was of a fifth tribe, yet in Tomb of the Fangpyre the Serpent Stone said the Great Devourer brought forth four "snake-men tribes." In other places, you talk only of the four tribes. Ultimately it makes no difference, but I'm just curious.
3) Will you be writing any Ninjago graphic novels for the new company and will they have any of those characters? Or are there not going to be anymore Ninjago graphic novels at all?
6) That's a shame.
7) Approximately how long were the Bionicle books when you typed them out on Word (or whatever program you used) and what formats and font sizes did you use?
Lastly, thank-you for all you have done for Bionicle and Ninjago, and thank-you for all the time you take to look through these questions and answer them. I can't even begin to imagine all the effort you have put forth for us fans.

2) I was working based on the info I had at the time.
3) Little Brown & Co. has been announced as the new license-holder for Ninjago graphic novels in the US. I have no idea who will be doing those books. That will be up to them.
7) 20,000 words. I don't recall using any special format, other than double-spacing for the ease of my editor, and it was just a standard font.
Hi, Greg. I wonder if Botar and his species could teleport themselves from Matoran Universe into the Red Star?

1) Did Kanoka exist on Mata Nui? Some Matoran have different masks from their Metru Nui masks, and I doubt they got new ones in the time between Metru-Mata.
2) Is it possible for there to be more Kanohi Nuva than the ones we've seen? EG Huna Nuva?
3) Do Sidorak's species and Keetongu's species have a name that you know of?
4) What do the revived... dudes... do in the Red Star have, like, jobs there? What do they do with their spare time?
Thanks! 
1) Kanoka could certainly have been brought to Mata Nui
2) Not to my knowledge
3) No, we never gave them names
4) Keep in mind the RS was not designed to hold a population. The risen were supposed to be sent back immediately. So there is no system for them to be employed, etc.
1) K. But how would they make the masks? Did they have forges?
4) So what goes on there? Do they just sit around until they just kinda... lose it?
5) Where did the organic material come from when the Turaga upgraded the Matoran, and the metal for that matter.
6) Are Matoran names just arbitrary, without any derivatives from the matoran language, or are they words?
7) Could more than one Av-Matoran become a Toa of Light, or is Takanuva the only Av-Toa ever going to exist?
8) Who created the Agori/Glatorian?
Thanks!

1. Where did the name "Nuva" and "Takanuva" come from? Did Tahu/Takua just make them up?
2. What caused the Red star to shoot toa-transforming lightning at Jaller and co.?
3. Why did Zaktann enter the EP pool with the other beings to make the golden being? Seems like he willingly floated in.
4. The only refrence I could find to Nocturn's death is the book Makuta's guide to the Universe. Was that a cut event from another book that remained canon, like the Inika's trip down the cord?
Buried a while ago.
