Hi, Mr. Farshtey!  I hope you are well!  I have some questions for you:

 

  1. Say a Toa wanted to simultaneously incapacitate a large group of foes he/she was battling, but did not want to risk the destruction that comes with performing a Nova Blast—could they draw on a smaller amount of their elemental power, like maybe a quarter of it, and create a smaller, more contained blast?
  2. Why did Kongu decide to discard his Toa Tool upon receiving his Cordak Blasters? I understand that, literally, it was a set issue, but story-wise, it seems foolish for him to have done so.
  3. Is the Shadowed One’s Recorder a member of a known species, or is he a being we have not encountered yet? Did you envision him as a particular species?
  4. Ancient’s boots are powered by levitation Kanoka, and he is seen using them in his confrontation with Vezok 7,000 years ago. However, according to BS01, Kanoka Disks were invented in Ko-Metru 4,000 years ago.  Is it possible that prototype Kanoka technology existed prior to this time, and that the technology was merely perfected 4,000 years ago?  This would seem to resolve the apparent time paradox…  

Thanks for your time!


I believe these were buried...


1) You can't really do half measure nova blasts. But there are plenty of ways for a Toa to do what you are suggesting just using a regular application of their power. Lewa could whip up a tornado to disperse multiple opponents, Kopaka could make a blizzard, etc.

2) I don't recall us coming up with a story reason for it. As you said, it was a set thing that we just had to go with.

 

3) I did not see him as being part of a known species.

 

4) My best answer would be that, as in our world, tech develops in different places at different times. The fact that Kanoka were invented in Ko-Metru 4000 years ago doesn't mean they couldn't have been developed somewhere else earlier than that. Ancient did not come from Metru Nui, after all.

1) Part of the weapon

2) Yes, it was different. It wouldn't have made a lot of sense to look like sea creatures when they were land dwellers, right?

 

3) He was mutated by the Pit waters

 

4) Via technology overseen by the Turaga

 

5) Sorry, don't understand your question

 

6) I can't give names to anything. There is no more list of legally approved BIONICLE names for me to draw from.

 

7) No. Matoran can become Toa and then Turaga because they are artificially created beings designed to do that. Agori and Glatorian are not. It would be sort of like asking if somebody who is 4' feet tall can suddenly morph into a 7' NBA player.

 

8) Choice of the moviemakers

 

9) To my knowledge, they don't have one

 

10) Yes. I wrote three novels and wrote or co-wrote 35 game books back in the '90s.

 

11) I don't recall it

 

12) It's one of my favorites, yes, because it was the only set made that was based on a character I had created.

 

13) No, he just chose not to. He was a hunter by nature, and talking is unnecessary noise when you are a hunter.

1 could Arthaka make kanohi Nuva without the need of EP?

 

2 could a Great being modify a matoran to acess their dormant elemental powers just like the Av-Matoran?

Hey Greg,

 

Just a quick question: did the Metru Nui Matoran suffer any ill affects from spending roughly one thousand years on the island of Mata Nui. I only ask becuase a car, for example, is perfectly capable of sitting out in the sun, snow and rain, but really is best preserved in an artificial environment. Thanks!

This is less a question and more of a theory to put forward.

 

I was thinking about consolidating species and islands--the topic's been discussed in BZP quite a lot recently--and I thought I may have found something that won't contradict anything in Dark Hunters.

 

I have an idea that Conjurer, Tyrant, Ancient, and The Shadowed One are all from the same Southern Island that Ancient plunged into war. Tyrant and Conjurer were two who individually gave up on conquering the island and left for another southern island to conquer with plans to later conquer other areas.

 

TSO and Conjurer are from the same species (both have similar heads and builds) which is related to, but not the same as Krekka's species, and Ancient and Tyrant are from the same species (both have similiar heads, tails, and claw hands). Both of the races are based in the same island.

 

The fact that they may have been rivals on their island may provide additional reasons why Conjurer and Tyrant are so insolent to the Shadowed One and Ancient.

 

What do you think? It doesn't bend or break anything in Dark Hunters or strech things out too extreme limits, yet it provides a backstory to consolidate islands and races (which is something a lot of people have been calling for).


 


Buried twice. Just so everyone knows, I did edit the original quote.

5. Krika still imprisoned Miserix, but even then, he did it in secret.

 

ALSO. PLEASE STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS. IT MAKES YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE YELLING. SEE WHAT I MEAN? WELL DO YOU? PEOPLE CAN GET THE WRONG IDEA.

Yes, I bent the rules and posted there. I don't want people to give me credit for things I have not been involved with. New BIONICLE is the brainchild of a new team, not me, and they should get all the praise for it. Any credit I am getting in the web animations must have to do with my work on Gen1, which is nice of them to do but not necessary.


Eheh... Any lack of praise or hate mail would also solely be directed at that new team as well Joking

Hi Greg I have some questions for you:

Do Glatorian/Agori have last names?

When a Glatorian is a child, Is of the size of an Agori, or higher?

2. I would suggest that Kongu, as a former Gukko rider, would be far more used to ranged weapons than melee weapons.  That's why he didn't discard his Laser Crossbow as an Inika - first and foremost it was for ranged combat.

Hello, Mr. Greg!

Forgive me my grammar, I know English very badly. Thanks.

A few questions:

1. What would you give to mask Toa Orde and Zaria, if you could do it? Just in theory, your fantasies.

2. Brutaka will remain under the influence of Antidermis? It seemed to me that the effect of absorption Antidermis previously been temporary.

A) Brutaka would like to regain Olmak? He could ask about this Artakha (formerly Artakha Olmak already done and can create it on the spot). It would be nice.

B) Brutaka cured of mutations as Barraki or not?

3. Artakha can control the Vahi, not falling under its effect, as it was at Vakama? At least with difficulty.

4. If the legendary Mask will be destroyed in the MU - disaster strikes on the scale of the world. And if it happens to the SM?

5. Sometimes there is that you are tired of answering questions here? And would you like to take a break from the world Bionicle? Sorry if the question is too personal.

2. Why does Teridax speak to himself in the movies? Is he insane?
