As you don't post messages on this thread since a few days, I assume you're busy, Mr. Farshtey. But I allow myself to repost my messages to avoid that they get lost in the discussions flow.

On the scroll of preparations, there are a few tasks that are oddly specific to the situation that the universe was in. Given that it was created by the great beings, how is it that the tasks the nuva had to do were so specific? (for example, they had to retrieve the heart of the visorak, which we know was so the order of mata nui could use it to have the mahri destroy the horde. but the visorak weren't created for many years after the great beings were gone and the robot launched, so how could the scroll of preparations have that listed as an item that needed to be done?

Two things -- one, as scientsts, the Great Beings were able to forecast probabilities. Also, Mata Nui's creation of the Makuta was a result of the GB's programming him with the plans for them, and most likely the idea of the Visorak came from the GBs too.

Could not all this "retrieve the Hearth of the Visorak" thing be explained by the fact that someone would have added this task on the scroll after realized Visorak's dangerosity? As the OoMN or Velika, maybe?

Hello Mr. Farshtey,

1) Does Tahu wears the Golden Armor over his Adaptive Armor? In other words, does the GA connects itself over Tahu's AA?

2a) Initially, the Makoki Stone was a tablet. After being passed from one hand to another, cut in six pieces and used by the Rahaga and the Turaga of Mata Nui as keys (for the Avohkii's cache and the entrace to Mangaia), the Makoki Stone could be assembled as a sphere. Do you know which characters have carved the Stone's pieces like that?
My guess would be that the Rahaga had designed the six pieces like simple flat keys, and then the Turaga of Mata Nui would had polished the pieces in order to be able to assemble them in a sphere capable of opening the particular lock of the Kini Nui entrace to Mangaia.

2b) After all it's been through, is there actually some original informations about the Brotherhood of Makuta that remain on the Makoki Stone pieces?

3) During the Karda Nui Saga, the Toa Nuva made a mental link with a Matoran each time the two connected themselves via the Adaptive Armor, resulting in an instant sharing of memories. Since this ability is fairly similar to the Toa capacity of forging a mental link with a being (only shown with Gali and Takua in 2001's and 2008's story), it does make me wonder something.
Does the Adaptive Armor enhance this natural Toa capacity of making a mental link with someone, making it automatic?
It would make sense that AAs are equipped with such a thing: since AAs are conceived to facilitate Toa's job, know all about the situation in which you have to save people in just one mental connection seems to be very helpful.
Moreover, it's exactly what happend when the Av-Matoran Tanma accidentally connected to Lewa's Adaptive Armor: the Toa of Air became aware of all the problems in Karda Nui in one instant.

1. I'm not really certain if that works with protodermis
2. See 1. above
3. I think the same
4. Simply thanks
5. When I'm reading it now: Yeah
6. Right 
7. ...
8. See 1. above
9. See 1. above...
10. Thanks
11. But can toa destroy other toa's seal?

Yes, it helped

1. No. There is no such thing as "cold" it is simply a lack of heat. Ice toa control ice.

2. This is why I say there were too many elements. Magnetism is, at an atomic level, basically equivalent to electricity. An electric field can produce magnetic properties in certain metals, yes.

3. We've seen fe-toa control the mechanical body parts of other Toa before, so I'd think they could do a certain amount of self destruction.

4. Lewa did it.

5. Doesn't make sense - the 2 are unrelated.

6. Or make them think they're in pain... Right?

7. Makes sense to me...

8. Plasma is just really hot fire (which is just really hot air). I'd say the ta-toa could just absorb the heat from the plasma and nullify it on his own.

9. See 1, above.

10. It's been stated that they can't.

11. 6 Toa can break a Toa seal - see the nuva and metru - idk if it has to be the same elements though. Hope that helped!

So, while reading up on the timeline of the Toa Hagah, I found a very big hole. . .

Spiriah had a team of Toa Hagah

>Spiriah's failure was over 70,000 years ago

>"No One Get's Left Behind" is stated to take place "over 7,000 years ago"

 >Teridax's team wasn't formed until after that story, and if I recall correctly, he was the first to have a Hagah team

So, I see two solutions to this:

1. "No One Get's Left Behind" takes place some time between 80,000 years ago 70,000 years ago. (The DH were formed in that time frame) However, then the problem comes with Triglax being stated to have joined the DH 7,000 years ago, but that might just be an assumption taken due to No One Get's Left Behind's time frame.

or

2. Norik's team wasn't Teridax's first Hagah team.

If anyone has relevant information, please, go ahead and tell us.

I apologize if anyone has already asked you this, but are all these wild and unbased rumors about Disney buying Bionicle false or true? Or would you even be allowed to say?

1. I think the same physical rules that apply to regular matter also apply to their protodermic counterparts - for one thing, when Bionicle started, protodermis wasn't something that everything was made out of, it was just another thing to be mined from the ground, like coal or iron ore. (Actually, I'm pretty sure there was something called "protodermis ore" in the mnog that you could collect.)

But more importantly, and more up to date, we know Toa of water can control both liquid protodermis and regular water - reason being they're so similar - and that rule logically extends to other materials as well. (If it didn't, the Toa and others with elemental powers from the mu wouldn't have been able to use their powers on bara magna during the final battle.) So I think it's reasonable to use those same rules from my first reply when talking about Toa power.

I think this just has to be chalked up to a plot hole - any series running as long as Bionicle did is bound to have one or three. With such a huge time span that the story covered, I think it's impossible to cover everything. We already have a huge gap in the middle of the 100,000 years where seemingly nothing happened - a bunch of stuff was said to happen, like norik's story, (and lhikan's time as Toa for that matter) within the last 10,000 years, but were made to seem like they took up a majority of the mu's timeline. Then we have events at the beginning, like the barraki's league of 6 kingdoms thing, that were made to seem not so chronologically distant. I think we just have to go with it, honestly.
