Ok so I know you're really busy, so I won't take much of your time, but I do have a couple of questions... first off.

I love to write... and I know you're an accomplished writer,

I mainly post on the ninjago stories forum, but I did just submit a story for LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS (The newest theme) So I was wondering, do you have any good tips for writing?

And I'm actually thinking of majoring in writing, though college for me is... 6 years away... (I'm 12) But I was also wondering, when did you first start writing? I love to write (As I've already said) But my writing is awful! So if you could help me out! I would be forever in your debt! Thanks! Happy

1) A Toa Hordika would, yes.

2) They actually lose the powers.

 

3) Refresh my memory. When did we show them moving at light speed?

 

4) I'm not sure I understand your question

 

 


3) I don't believe we see Takanuva doing this, but Photok amplifies Pohatu's already immense speed in one of the Karda Nui books to lightspeed, or something near it.

4) Alright. The toa Hordika charged a gate with elemental energy for defense. My question is if toa can charge objects, tools, or spots with elemental energy for utility purposes instead.

     E.G. A toa of earth charges a shovel with elemental energy, and the shovel makes the earth move aside and form a tunnel on every strike. Or a toa of gravity charges a wall, and gravity around it is thus turned sideways so that defenders can get to the top more easily and attackers fall away.


3) That's not the equivalent of Av-Matoran being able to move at light speed. All that means is, when paired with a Toa, Photok provided a speed boost. If Pohatu had not been wearing a Mask of Speed, that speed boost would not have brought him to anywhere near that velocity.

4) I don't know that a non-Hordika Toa can do this, first of all. I don't think we ever saw them do that.

I have a question. Did the Mask of Light make Takanuva into a toa because it had toa energy, similar to a toa stone? If so, is that why Tanma was able to become a toa of light in the Kingdom? With an ordinary toa stone? Thank you so much for your time!

I don't know specifically, because it is not explained in the '03 story bible. But I assume that the mask was somehow able to trigger the latent Toa energies in Takua the same way a stone does.

Hello Mr Greg  

 

1. There is a limit of the dreams that the Golden Skinned Being can materialize? Such as bringing back the dead to life, change the reality or erase beings of reality? 

 

2. What looks like the face of a Matoran/Toa without their masks? have they a humanoid face with a mouth and a nose? 

 

3. Who is strongest in your opinion between the mask of life and the Great Spirit Robot? Because In my opinion the Ignika is a bit more powerful than the GSR or has equal power because the Ignika would absorb the vital energy of all living beings of MU if necessary and as the MU is almost as large as the diameter of the earth the scope of the power of mask of life could be on a planetary scale like the GSR. Thanks you very much!

Five of the Piraka were tossed into the Energized Protodermis pool along with others and became the Golden Skinned Being. Are they more or less "smashed" as their individual selves, or can they be split from the GSB?

 

Also, right before the GSB was created, Antidermis entered the Protodermis pool. Which Makuta was it?

A question just popped into my head.

     The Golden-skinned being grants wishes dreams, right? So what happens if two dreams oppose eachother? E.G. 'I want the Makuta to all die permanently right now' vs 'I want the Makuta to live on forever'?

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?


Since that was 15 years ago, I don't really recall what the story reason was supposed to be. The practical reason was that we wanted to promote the six individual Toa more than we did the combination models.


If I recall correctly, Makuta Teridax had something to do with it. I think he exerted his mind powers, causing the mental links in the Toa Kaita to break and thus the Toa to return to their individual forms.

Hey Greg, how big is a Skakdi Warlord?

Was Irnakk the size of one? Or was he even bigger?

And, if so, would the set/combiner "66158 Piraka Kaita" be one? It was a combiner of Hakann, Zaktan and Avak, and no, it's not a Protodax, more like a red Irnakk.

Hey Greg, did Hafu and Kapura ever make it back to Spherus Magna?

The story is "frozen in place" as Greg likes to say, so they're still in the fortress on Bota Magna with Helryx, Vezon, Brutaka, etc. Greg did say that he planned for them all to escape before Velika blew the place up, but other than that we have no information and Greg doesn't have anything specifically planned.

1) Do Shadow Matoran keep the natural abilities they had before being transformed (e.g heat resistence for Ta-Matoran, night vision for Onu-Matoran etc...)

2) Can the Shadow Takanuva change their body color?

3) Did Teridax learn about Takanuva's destiny?

4) Could Toa Ignika be part of a Toa Kaita?

5) How were new Kanohi made before the invention of Kanoka?

6) Where did Karzahni take the pieces he used to rebuild the Matoran from?

7) Was Velika in a good relationship with the other Gb's?

8) How much would it take for the MU to be fully evacuated?

9) Is it possible that Kapura used his ability to escape the Tower of the Cursed GB before it exploded?

10) Who has the original story bibles of Bionicle? Is there any chance that they might get published online?
