Well, probably my last post on here, better make it a good one.

1) Was there any base model for Toa? The Metru style seems fairly popular. 

2) Do you have any explanation as to what what Roodaka and Sidorak were talking about when they said "formalitites"?

3) Could a Toa Nuva make a Kaita or Nui with non-Nuva Toa?

It's been a good run, see you around, guys.

We know that Matoran eat and sleep, and I'm pretty sure Toa/Turaga do as well. This raised an interesting point - the Toa Mangai's battle with the Kanohi Dragon was described to last for a month. How did they endure this when they had need for food and rest?

Well, a battle that lasts for a month normally does not mean constant fighting. In our history, there are battles that have lasted for weeks before someone won. There are almost always down times when soldiers can catch a few z's or eat their rations, because both sides need that.

---

Are you insinuating that a massive city-destroying dragon took breaks as it fought the Toa Mangai?

---

I think it's more along the lines of

1. Mangai fight Dragon
2. Mangai + Dragon get tired (and possibly injured); Mangai can't retreat, obviously
3. Dragon is injured, retreats and finds somewhere else it likes
4. Mangai Rest + Recover
5. Dragon attacks elsewhere
6. Mangai follow and loop restarts

At least that's how I see it.

Here's an important question for you, Mr. Farshtey:

 

Team Iron Man or Team Captain America?

---

Team Cap had the moral highground but went against the law while Team Iron Man represented pure law and order without considering poor Bucky in all of this -- all in all I side pretty heavily with Team Cap.

---

Good to know, but I was kind of asking Greg.

Do all soldiers in an army fight at once during a war? No.

They probably took shifts, called in reinforcements or something like that.

Good grief, ChiefWamsutta, that's the 9th time you've reposted that fan theory. At this point, I wouldn't blame Greg if he ignored it on purpose.

---

Why do you keep track of how many times I have posted? Why are you so concerned with me and my posting habits?  All I was ever hoping for is to be acknowledged by GregF.

I like the shifts idea - makes alot more sense to me.

Thanks, mate. It seems quite possible and likely that the Toa would fall back every few hours to rest and recharge and let another group take over for a while.

Keetongu lived on -- just kidding

Seriously however, I have a question: When Teridax was defeated in Mangaia, his armor was crushed, and his Kanohi Kraahkan trapped on the other side. This meant that Teridax had nothing to inhabit -- and we know that antidermis dissipates after just two weeks of continuous exposure to open air. Knowing this: how did Teridax survive until the Piraka rescued him?

Where'd you get the two weeks from? I know it's a limited time, but I don't recall seeing an exact figure anywhere.

Hey, Greg. Here are a few questions of my own as well as those of some friends on the Custom Bonkle Wiki:

1. Is Tobduk’s species divided into seven tribes based on their Emotional Powers or the seven basic emotions (anger, contempt, fear, disgust, happiness, sadness, and surprise) with subtribes and sub-subtribes being the more specific emotions?

2. Was the intended purpose of the Krana to perhaps ensure total obedience/override existing objectives in early Matoran laborers? If so how did the Awakening affect this programming?

3. Can the Kanohi Rau allow the bearer to interpret a subject's body language in any capacity?

4. Can you in fact confirm that Nuhrii carved both Jaller's and Kopeke's Kanohi Komaus and that his poor craftsmanship was the reason they both cracked?

5. Where do the Masks on Karzahni come from?

6. Can the Spear of Fusion serve as an alternative way to create Toa Kaita?

7. When reading through the Bara Magna saga, it's hard not to recognise the typically western struggle between civilization and the wilderness. As a writer, did you take influence from any Westerns?

Hi Greg, got a question for you - did Lhikan's Hau eventually get returned to Jaller? If so, did Jaller replace his Kanohi Arthron with it (I imagine he would if given the chance, as it has much greater sentimental significance, plus, shielding is probably more useful to him than sonar anyways).

One question I've always had is what was the process behind writing the Rahi and Dark Hunter guide books. Since each one had a combination of actual canon-characters and fan-made characters, how did you interpret the story-material for each fan-entry into an entry in each book?

This was buried.
