Could a Toa of Light possibly control non-visible spectrums of light, such as infared, x-ray, or gamma?


I would lean toward no, simply because I feel it would make him way too powerful.

Greg? Hello? Are you taking sick leave again, or did we bore you with too many questions? Sarcastic

 

Did you get to play any of the Bionicle and Hero Factory games related to the stories that you wrote?

Um, as you can see, I have been back to answering questions the last couple days. I was on vacation last week for Thanksgiving.

There was only one video game drawn from one of my stories, and that was a BIONICLE one, and no, I never played any of the BIONICLE or Hero Factory games. I was too busy writing at the time.

4) Yeah, I get that it doesn't really make sense right now, with the new BIONICLE getting off the ground and such. But, I guess what I'm asking is, if, at any point in the future, someone presented you with the opportunity to continue the story, would you still want to do it, or has it been long enough where you're no longer interested?

Just the fact that this thread is still going gives me a lot of hope. I know that the original BIONICLE story, and all of its richly detailed narritive, inspired world building, and exciting twists and turns, means a lot to a lot of people, and the continued existance of this thread, where the story can be acknowledged and elaborated upon, is really great.

 


1) Yes, I probably would. There was tons of story left to tell when we left off, and the ability to a) create new characters as needed and b) not have to worry about fitting in a dozen new sets every year would make it easier to do. That said, since there are no "old BIONICLE" sets to promote, there's no real reason for the company to do it. Most likely, it would have to be something I did in my own time for free (as I did the comics and serials before), and I have no idea where it would live.

Sorry about my first remark, Greg. I forgot to update my list of posts! Face palm

Ask a stupid question... get an answer, anyway. I am sooo ashamed... Embarrassed

 

So anyway, which Bionicle game was it - or do you know?

Well, currently I am trying to find out how powerful light is. So I have a few questions for you.

I know light and shadow are equal but which is more powerful a makuta of shadow or a toa of light?
Can a Toa of Light take out a Makuta in two (or three) shots? (Assuming the makuta can fight back.)
Which of three types of light can incenerate anterdermis? (Solid, Elemental, or Laser.)
Can a Makuta feel Elemental Light in thier Protodermis shell?
Is light dangerous to other species beside Makuta?
Can Toa of Light move and think at the speed of light? (Kinda like the Flash or Quicksilver)
How much Light can a Toa of Light use in say an hour?
Thanks

P.S. I saw that you said LEGO would prefer you not to post in other topics. I think alot of us fans would love for you to be able to.

Buried. Unfortunately Joking

Hey Greg-Sama, what year (BCG) did the Raid on Artakha take place? And am I the only one who thinks that it's possible that Artakha had the Olmak from [a toa from Jovan's team] owned? And that it's very possible that the Brotherhood gained it there?

THANKYOU

for respondingHappy

but I'm still a bit confused

1) what did happen to the great beings?

2) why didn't they help the people of bara magna? Were they too busy? Or something else?

3) what do you mean by clean off the face of mata nui? We're the Bohrok going to wipe out all of the matoran, or literally clean off Mata nui's face?

4) how did the queens gain control of the Bohrok? Did they take control of the Kraana?

last question

5) were the Kraana a hive mind or individuals? 

Were the queens controlled by Kraana?

AND FINALLY!

6) looking back at bionicle, what are you proud of, and what do you regret? 

(Like, did your job make you miss out on something important that you wish you could have done?)

NOTE: you don't have to answer these if you don't want to. I don't want to bother you, just have so many questions, after all, I'm a huge fanHappy
