I have one question. how did you come up with the main idea for Bionicle? . .---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't. BIONICLE had already been created by the time I came to work for LEGO Company.

1. Is Velika aware that Angonce is still on Spherus Magna?

2. Would Angonce pose a threat to Velika?

3. What would give a living weapon like Marendar an edge over Toa?

4. Where did the Great Beings go?

5. Are the GBs inorganic, organic or a little bit of both?

6. The Zivon is one powerful and dangerous creature. Not to mention extremely large. How was it created?

7. What caused the Red Star to malfunction?

1) Velika would know that all of the GBs would be on SM someplace.

2) It's possible that any GB could be a threat to him

 

3) Any number of things. Think about the things a Toa can do ... if you could counter or nullify those things, they are easy to defeat.

 

4) Unknown. They are somewhere on Spherus Magna

5) Organic

 

6) Same way all other Rahi were created, using viruses

 

7) Could be age, could be a flaw in construction ... think about how often the Star Trek teleporters have broken down over the years. It's not an easy system to maintain.

1&2.  So, would he plan to destroy them too?

 

3. Known powers are Toa Power, Elemental Powers and the ability to form a mental link. It was already shown in The Yesterday Quest that Elemental Powers can be blocked. Is it safe to assume the non-Toa Dark Hunters and Order of Mata Nui members could defeat Marendar with their wide variation of abilities?

 

5. Intriguing. Is it possible that the GBs are human? (A friend asked me that years ago.)

 

7. And poor Gaardus was blamed for it. xD

 

Thank you for answering the questions in my previous post, Mr. Farshtey. Smile

No detailed explanation is given in any of the story bibles for specifically how these work. And I kind of feel that giving one would make the whole thing a lot less cool.

Via the adaptive armour, Tahu's Kanohi Hau gained the shape of a mask of charisma, did the rest of the Toa's masks adapt to the shapes of Kanohi masks other than their own, as well?

 

Is this how the adaptive armour works, adapting the Kanohi mask to the shape of one more befitting the current environment, or is Tahu's the outlier?

 

Did you ever notice how much resemblance Good Guy 2006 bears to the Matoran (Tohunga) of 2001?

Another question:

 

Did Nikila get revived in the Red Star? If so, how?

Because I thought the Red Star could only revive someone if they still had limbs or something, but the Zyglak disintegrated all the Toa Cordak, right?

 

Thanks again for taking time to answer everyone's questions!Happy

What're your thoughts on the theory that Vakama gets his visions of the future because of the Vahi? The general gist of the theory is that because Vakama used the Vahi at full power, the mask of time changed and connected his personal timeline to him in some subliminal way. And because his timeline is connected to him, vakama was able to have the visions before he even donned the mask. The reason Tahu never had the visions is because of the damage the Vahi sustained while it was underwater. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you for all youe hard work in creating this universe we've come to love.

Wow what a great opportunity!

Thank you Mr. Farshtey!

Thank you also to all of the LMB team 

 

 

What are some non-LEGO stories that you have worked on?

if Bionicle (the REAL bionicle) where to be continued, how would you do it ? 

How did you get interested in writing?

Who are your top three favorite Bionicle characters?

Hey Greg. I have some questions about Hordika... And toa in general...

1. Would a toa hordika always have a rhotuka according to their element, or would it vary as with most entities using rhotuka?

2. Do toa subjected to visorak venom truly lose their elemental powers,(Barring rhotuka) or do they simply lose the mental discipline to use them properly?

     2a. If toa hordika retain their powers, would a theoretical antidote which only reversed the mental effects of visorak venom let them use those powers in hordika form?

3. We know toa(And at least one matoran) of light can move at lightspeed. Do other toa have abilities related to the properties of their element, yet not directly related to controlling their element? For example a toa of water turning their body watery to let a sword go through them harmlessly?

4. How much control do toa have over the effects of charging an object with elemental energy? Is it purely a preemptive defensive measure or can one, say, make a furnace slowly bleed out fire energy to do furnace things, or make paper that reads and displays the thoughts of whomever holds them? 


I think ya missed this.


This has been buried again. Aaand more questions.

5. Would a toa of shadow have more or less control/power over shadow than a Makuta?

6. Were Makuta originally controllers of shadow, or did they once control other elements and it became shadow only due to their collective moral purge?

7. Can a toa directly infuse a matoran with Toa Power, if they don't want to use a toa stone?

Thanks!

If Vakama was a mask maker as a matoran, how would he not know what kind of mask he wore daily was?  And in one of the books, Vakama Identified a few masks in the scrapyard.

Recently, I have come up with a question to ask that I don't know the answer to. Surprised

 

 

What exactly caused Wairuha and Akamai, the 2 Toa kaita of 2001, to split apart upon enterring Teridax's lair on Mata Nui?

Hey Greg! Do you remember if the appearance of  fake Bohrok (nicknamed "Fohrok") in BIONICLE Comic 25: Birth of the Rahaga was planned? Or did the artist simply draw a Bohrok even though they were supposed to be asleep at that time, inspiring you to come up with the concept of Fohrok and their backstory?

The moviemakers wanted the Toa figuring out what their masks were to be part of the film, so they just ignored the fact that he would probably already know.
