3a. Dalu's weapons have some interesting properties of increasing a certain target's traits to the point of ludicrous, can't the target that was hit turn the tides against the opponent if he/she quickly adapted to it and was given certain traits like speed of strength?
3b. Can't they use it on an ally to give an advantage in a battle, spy on enemies and/or to see danger coming?
3c. HOW DOES THAT WORK???
 
Thank you for listening and I am looking forward to your response! Smile

 

3a) The key word here is "adapt." I am reminded of an old Superman story where his body starts absorbing energy at an enormous rate and his strength and speed and such increase dramatically. And the problem is, he can't control that much power. What we have seen from Dalu does not indicate that there are levels to this ability -- it seems to just go from 0 to 60, so to speak, which makes adaptation really tough.

3b) See answer to 3a

3d. How does giving Gali enhanced vision make her able to see through different dimensions where time and space don't matter? If anything it should make you be able to see at a microscopic scale, being able to see individual molecules and bacteria (which could drive you insane), seeing at a macroscopic scale where you can see different planets, galaxies, the unknown and multiple alien life forms that could also you insane or just extremely enhancing your vision by giving you X-ray vision, extremely enhanced and bright colors, seeing lots of small details, being able to see polarized light and probably seeing everything so bright and driving you insane. I don't know in what sense with any logic you would see whatever she saw when that happened, did you write it just because or did you have a reason?
3e. How does that drive you insane? I think of ridiculous, abstract, illogical and indescribable things like that and I am just fine, well sort of.
3f. What was that place that Gali saw? Can you describe it? What was it like? Was the world at a extremely small scale to the point of nothing making sense anymore? Was it the world at a extremely huge scale also to the point of nothing making sense? Or was it just another dimension entirely (this explanation makes the least sense though)?
3g. If Dalu absurdly increased the trait of speed to a toa wearing the mask of speed and that said toa ran at full speed using that mask, what would happen? What would be the consequences? And how fast will it go?


 

 

3d-3e) I would point to two cultural references. One, The Man With the X-Ray Eyes, where the hero ends up being able to see into other dimensions and is even still able to see after he blinds himself. And two, a lot of Lovecraft monsters were depicted as being so indescribably horrible that just looking at them drove you insane. So this really isn't something new.

3f) Not describable

3g) Odds are they would burn up from friction

Hello,

 

do you have any idea as to the current villager population and the relative size of Okoto? We're trying to write a continuation to G2, but don't really know these specifics.

 

Are there any specific real-life cultures I should look into regarding each tribe? Bar the Maori of course.

 

Thanks

Hello, Mr. Farshtey. I've read atleast three of your Ninjago graphic novels (1, 3, and 4), and I wonder if your doing any more in the near future. Also, with the new Bionicle, will you make graphic novels of them, too?

Is Sahmad still "evil"?

 

9. If you could use one of the concepts that were not used for Bio, which would you pick?


Buried.


10. BS01 says that the remaining FIVE Piraka got fused. Which Piraka didn't get fused and why?

 

11. Does Krakha still see the Matoran as " top-dwellers"?

 

12. What will the fusion do on Spherus Magna?


Buried. Again.Joking


Not buried. But I need a certain amount of free time to answer a dozen questions at once, and I haven't had that lately.


1) While the Vortixx can be cruel, they are not "evil" in general. They are business people. They make goods and expect to be paid for them. If they can do that on Spherus Magna, then they will.

2) Yes, they are, and they will probably live pretty much the same way as they have been

3) Yes. Why would her personality have changed any?

4) Any living Matoran at the time of Makuta's defeat have been evacuated onto Spherus Magna.

5) On Spherus Magna, like everyone else.

6) Yes

7) Tuma is an outcast. I frankly don't expect him to live long unless he makes alliances fast

8) He is still driven by the same resentments

9) I really don't remember any

10) I don't see any reference to five in the Piraka entry. It states the remaining Piraka plus Zaktan

11) Why wouldn't she?

12) Same thing it was doing in the MU


11. So does Krahka still hate the Matoran?


Buried.

 

13. Would the golden armour interfere with the transformations of the adaptive armour? Side Artakha has the Mask of Creation,I wouldn't be surprised if he could make the AA (adaptive armour) transform other armour. I'm pretty sure he could make that function. But is that possible?

 

14. Did any other races join the new society, or just the Matoran and Agori?

4) What was the native habitat of the Krahka species?

 

5) The G2 Mask of Control grants its wearer the ability to mind-control other beings. How does it compare to G1's Great Komau, power-wise? Can it force the controlled being to act against their morals? Can it deliver mental attacks like the Komau?

 

6) Because the Takua of the Toa Empire AU was not transformed when the main universe's Takanuva forced him to wear the Avohkii, does this mean that that universe's Takua was not destined to transform, or that he would need that universe's Avohkii to transform?

 

7) We know that residents of the Matoran Universe have a destiny that is pre-determined by Mata Nui, but what about beings outside of the MU? Do they have a destiny, and if so, what determines it? Do the MU residents' destinies mean anything anymore after Mata Nui's death and the MU population's emigration to Spherus Magna? 

 

8) Does the G1 Mask of Creation have the same appearance as the G2 version?

 

9) Are the effects of the Mask of Charisma permanent? If so, given that that would mean it can effectively brainwash and indoctrinate other beings to the user's cause, would Toa consider that mask's usage immoral?

 

10) Does Gaardus have the abilty to use Kanohi?

I wasn't involved with the G2 story at all, so this isn't something I can speak to.

Yes. Ninjago: Dark Island Volume 1 was just released on July 19th. It's the first volume of a trilogy that I wrote for Little Brown, the new publishers of Ninjago graphic novels.

 

As for BIONICLE, Ryder Windham has been doing the books for the new BIONICLE, but I don't know if the series will continue since the toy line is ending at the conclusion of 2016.

Dear Mr. Farshety, 

 You are an exceptional author and love your Ninjago books! I have a question who did you get your job as a LEGO author? Was it challenging? Also who do you think would win Ninjago or Star Wars in a all out war?

No idea, that would be up to the company. I am not sure they would see a point in continuing to promote a line that no longer exists. Unfortunately, since I am an employee, I can't write stuff just as fan fiction on my own.

Would you want to continue to write the serials if you could?
