In The Kingdom, the Takanuva of that dimension fulfilled his destiny when he helped stop the Makuta from escaping the Matoran Universe.
1) Is that Takanuva's destiny in every dimension?
2) If so, how would he fulfill it in the main dimension, since the Matoran Universe was destroyed?
In The Kingdom alternate dimension, Velika became a Toa. Though I believe this was written before it was confirmed that Velika was in fact a Great Being, what sort of powers would he have as a Toa?

2a If over, can he still adapt but be golden?
2b If replace, does his weapon or weapons adapt?
3. If Tahu takes off his golden armor he no longer has the kraata powers right? So if he puts it back on, does he get them back?
Thanks for answering my many Bionicle questions!!!!
Sorry if i'm bothering you, but I think you missed this one.
1) Don't recall
2) Replace it
2b) No
3) Yes and yes
2b.) IIRC, he kept his adaptive weapon, and it simply took on the form of his original fire sword.

But we only saw that happen once, with the toa mata, after they basically died (unalived) in their canisters and their tissue decayed from just sitting there so long since the canisters malfunctioned and were unable to maintain their physiological needs. Then after they reassembled their mech parts, the tissue grew back.
In the real world, a living being's tissue can repair itself to some degree after injury. I'm willing to bet that what little tissue was left after 1000 years, combined with some trigger in their mech exoskeleton, was doing some form of advanced sci-fy self-repair when the toa reassembled themselves.
As for matoran rebuilding themselves, I'd imagine that they can only manually tamper with the mech parts of their body, and their tissue adapts afterwards - similar to people IRL getting reconstructive surgery.
buried.
1) Repair itself, yes, but is this repair or spontaneous generation?
2) But the tissue would need to be severed, wouldn't it, or else retract somehow, to tamper with the mech parts?
1. well, since in another question you answered, you said their heads were still attached, there had to have been some tissue still intact, so i'd say it's healing. spontaneous generation is when there's no organics at all to begin with, but given that not all the tissue was gone, i'd say that's healing. (i don't quite have enough characters to explain the biology rules about that haha)
2. either way, when a matoran rebuilds, they already have organic tissue with mech parts, and we've seen them rebuild in the story, so we know that something is being tampered with there. i'm not sure that exactly what parts they modify can indicate how they were originally built though, since that's an "after-market" change: all the pieces (organic and mech) were there to begin with.
Matoran anatomy is a fun topic 
Hi Mr Farshtey, me again. I have some more questions, if that's ok.
1) What would happen if a someone used the Spear of Fusion in reverse (splitting) on a half being, like Vezon? Would they split further, or would it not have any effect?
2) How long can a Kaita or Nui maintain its form (e.g. a Toa Kaita or a Matoran Nui)? Is it until it willingly splits, or does it have a time limit?
3) Did a Matoran Kaita or Nui have any Elemental Powers, or would it still lack them?
4) Is a Turaga Kaita or Nui possible? How powerful would they be in reference to a Toa?
5) Who or what assigned a Matoran's name upon creation?
6) If you could be any BIONICLE species, what would you be?
1. We know that all the mahri nui matoran were partly mutated, and we can assume MN did not reverse the effects as the mutations were beneficial. My question is, were they all made amphibious, as most of them did not get the full water breathing treatment, but there was still some level of mutation. This was just something I wondered.
2. If the karda nui Makuta had not died, would their mutations from the swamp have been reversed?
3. If the gold skinned being were to be split back into its former components would the programs be healed from their mutations or no?
4. If Zaktan were not fused into the GSB, and was healed, would he still be low on protodytes, and thus unable to take proper form, or would the prototypes be regenerated?
5. Would the Makuta, if there were any left alive when MN did his reverse mutation thing, would they have been devolved?
1. Were sny female Makuta still alive during Teridax`s reign?
2. How many Makuta, roughly, died before the great cataclysm?
3. How many Makuta would have died in unfortunate rahi experiments, or weapon experiments?
4. How many Makuta did the OOMN remove from the universe?
5. Would the Pit have been equipped to hold Makuta before the great cataclysm?
6. How many Makuta would have been extinguished by toa?
7. How many by dark hunters?
8. How many by other sources?
9. How many by rival Makuta?
10. How many did Teridax off during his reign?
11. How many were used for rahkshi factories?
12. Did any Makuta die due to the GSR crashing?
13. Did any get wiped out by the forces opposing Teridax, in the moment of confusion after the core processor was smashed?
I understand you won't have exact figures for most, if any, of these, however if you had rough figures, eg. 1-5 Makuta, etc. It would be much appreciated.
During the time of Mata Nui, the turaga spoke of prophecies. Where did they come from? Did they make it up from information given by the Hagah? Or did they find a wall or something in Metru Nui with it written on it. If that was the case, everytime the prophecies "changed", the Turaga lied, and therefor, it would make sense if it was Vakama's dreams.

I always saw it as the BIONICLE equivalent of racial memory. If you think about it, a lot of their prophecies amounted to knowledge of the various failsafes and repair systems in the robot. Since they didn't know it was a robot, they were ascribing mystical significance to all of it.
1. I find it interesting that Rahi like Keetongu and Krahka were considered to be male and female respectively, while all others including the Tahtorak were referred to using gender-neutral pronouns. Do Rahi have genders similar to Matoran, and if not, why do Keetongu and Krahka have them while others don't?
2. Did the Great Beings intend to shut down Mata Nui after he re-formed Sphereus Magna or would he have returned to exploring space? Or did they just not plan that far?
3. How exactly did harassing the Matoran on Mata Nui for 1000 years advance Teridax's cause? What was stopping him from, say, sending in Rahkshi or unleashing the Bohrok to chase them back to Metru Nui? Did he actually WANT the Toa to arrive and stop him?

Hey Greg, hope you are well.
When the G1 story ended (a long time ago, I know), the chracter Voporak left the MU with the Vahi. I have three general questions regarding this:
1. Would he still be inclined to be loyal to TSO with his life objective complete
2. Would he know how to find TSO if he still is
3. and finally, can Voporak talk? I wasn't sure if his mutation from his original body robbed him of this ability.
Thanks.

1) We tended to assign genders in stories to Rahi who a) played lead roles in story and b) spoke an understandable language. Most other Rahi probably did have genders, but we simply did not get into that.
2) Yes, they most likely would have downloaded what he learned and shut him down. That was the plan.
3) He wasn't trying to chase them back to Metru Nui, he was trying to keep them away from Metru Nui until the time was right for them to return (which was basically the point at which Mata Nui was close to death). So the attacks were to keep them off-balance and in fear. As for the Toa, once they did not appear when Mata Nui crashed, why would he believe they were even going to show up? If not for Takua doing what he did, they never would have.
I noticed on one of the fan sites that there was a topic relating to my writing of BIONICLE, and it's fine (not everyone is going to like what I did, it's cool, and some people will. But there were a LOT of misconceptions in the topic, and since I cannot post there, I am posting here --)
1) I am responsible for the line losing its "mystical tone" after 2003.
FALSE. The Metru Nui storyline came from Bob Thompson and the story team, not me. In fact, there is not a single year of main story that was created solely by me -- it all came from the story team as a whole. So if you love some part of main story, credit the story team, and if you don't, that's the story team too.
The notion that I had some ability to unilaterally change the story is just not accurate. EVERY word I wrote had to be approved in Billund before it went out. If the BIONICLE team had disapproved of something I was doing, they would have said so. I may have been the public face of the story because of being on fan sites, but I was part of a team, and proud of it. There is no LEGO line where the story comes from just one person.
2) There was something wrong with my not outlining my stories.
FALSE. A lot of writers, all of whom are better than me, do not outline. NY Book Editors recently published an article advising that writers not outline. To quote from it, "When you head into a piece of writing without the planning, the job of the writer is to create. Your writing can exist in a mutable state for a very long time. The best writing happens when the writer is discovering what happens as he or she is creating."
3) Some of the serials did not work.
TRUE. The serials, especially in 2010, were an attempt to do a favor for fans upset over the line ending and to hold on to the trademarks. In retrospect, it was probably a mistake, for a lot of reasons. I felt bad about the line ending, I felt others did too, and I wanted to make it easier. Didn't happen.
More later ...
Question that likely was already answered or is common knowledge: Did Teridax maintain contact with the Brotherhood while on Mata Nui?
