How can the ignika can devolved the turaga to toas again? They have no more toa powers?

i meant can anyone other than artakha wear the masks of creation? I know it a legendary mask meaning nobody can control its powers, but artakha can wear it and he master it?

how can the toa of magnesium and iron can destroy the makuta's armors?

in the power that be, was artakha planing to be killed by veilka?

whatever happen to toa chiara and Zaria?

since you once work on some ninjago books, did you put some bionicle reference in some of them since in the tv series, they had some bionicle reference? 



 

1) My theory is based on the notion that he is essentially devolving them to what they were before. I am open to people disagreeing on this, however.

2) Anyone can wear a mask, but if you can't use its power, it's sort of useless.

3) Because Iron controls metal and Magnetism affects metal, and Makuta's armor is made of metal.

4) I hadn't made that decision.

5) Nothing. Story is frozen where it left off.

6) No. At the time I was writing those books, BIONICLE had been over for years so I saw no point.

Mr. Farshtey:

 

Rahkshi of Limited Invulnerability and the Makuta all possess the power of Limited Invulnerability, but I don't recall it ever being used in the story. What exactly does it do? Is the user completely invulnerable for a limited amount of time, or is the user only mostly invulnerable for as long as the power is active?


Limited invulnerability essentially means you are invulnerable against some things, but not others. Superman, for example, is invulnerable to loads of things, but vulnerable to kryptonite and magic.


What exactly, then, are users of the power in the MU vulnerable to?


It would probably vary by user.

what do you do as a creative consultant for g2?

 

the purpose of the bohrok kal was to free the bahrag,and the bahrag`s purpose was to destroy the island of mata nui,wich is vital to the survival of the matoran universe.does that mean that the bohrok kal can serve the new spherus magna society,with that particular purpose?


1) Yes, but I don't do anything there, other than use it as a reference.

 

2) I'm not a consultant on G2. I read the story bible over once back in spring of 2014 and that was the extent of my involvement. I haven't had anything to do with the theme since September of 2014.

 

3) The Bohrok-Kal were destroyed or rendered useless in the 2003 storyline, so they are unlikely to have any involvement with Spherus Magna society.,


2.so why did bioniclesector01 say so?

 

3.but the krana-kal survived,right?if they were able to come back into existance again,could they help the new society.

 

and more.

 

1.in the melding AU,did mutran create a mini-life form that could spread truce and understanding?and if not,is it still possible?

 

2.why did krahka mention the matoran endangered her specie`s,when it was actually the visorak?


Buried,also...

 

1.How do you use it as a reference?


2) You would have to ask them that question.

3) No, not all of them did. And there are no Bohrok-Kal for them to inhabit.

1) Not that I am aware of, no

2) Why were the Visorak created? As a weapon to be used against Matoran and other enemies of the Makuta.

1) A lot of obscure BIONICLE names come up in these questions, and I don't remember every single thing about stuff I wrote, in some cases, over a decade ago. So I use it to refresh my memory or make sure my answers don't contradict something I already said.

Even had the story continued, it would not have been revealed. After the ridiculously over the top reaction there was to the Teridax name reveal, I decided I wasn't going to reveal it. Even if I wanted it, so many years have gone by that what was legally approved back then might not be now, so it might not even be able to be used.

Also, a question on pg 256 asked how the Bohrok-Kal could switch Krana-Kal. As I recall there was one scene in Chronicles 3 where Pahrak-Kal lost its Krana and a Bohrok Va brought it a new one.

1) Which is it? In your previous question,you stated that Krahka said the Matoran endangered her people. There is a huge difference between "endangered" and "attacked." Also please note that at the time I wrote that book, the history of the Visorak species had not been conceived yet.

2) I had no plans to do that in my story. What you choose to do in fan fiction is up to you.

1) Brought them from Metru Nui

2) I don't think so, no

3) Not aware of a limit

4) I hadn't made plans for that, but I rarely made plans for future story. Things happened as they struck me.

5) I really don't remember. That was 14 years ago.

6) It's never happened, so no idea

7) Please note that Takua's quest for the Toa stones was probably the first thing written after the story bible. There was no canon for them to adhere to on Toa stones at that point, so they did what they needed to for their story. Remember no one thought BIONICLE would last past 2001 at that point.
