Chat with Greg Farshtey

I heard the message boards were closing, and I wanted to get a few more questions in.

1. Did the Great Beings make the gravity level, flow of time, etc in the Matoran Universe similar to those of Spherus Magna? I'm asking because the MU beings don't seem to have any problems being on the planet.

2. Do the Zesk respect Malum the same way the Vorox do?

3. Speaking of which, is there any hope of the Zesk and Vorox returning to normal?

4. Is Tuma truly the last leader-class Skrall in existence? Or is it possible there are some on Bota Magna?

4b. Could more be born, or do their parents have to be leader-class, too? I feel like this was answered somewhere before...

5. I recall you saying once that the reason Takua was able to become a Toa by simply putting on the Avohkii is because the Avohkii was infused with Toa energy, much like a Toa stone. Any idea who may have done this?

6. The Mana Ko were loyal to the Order of Mata Nui. However, they worked for Teridax and followed his orders. Teridax presumably fitted them with Infected Masks. The Mana Ko recieved the mental training all Order members do. Does this mean that Order members are immune to Infected Masks?

7. You once said Icarax was probably the best Makuta in terms of combat. Would you say that Mutran was one of the worst? He didn't see much action.

7b. Similarly, would you say that Icarax wasn't the best scientist?

8. Once everything is settled on Spherus Magna, do you think there will be any interest of restarting the Archives, or some other museum?

9. You once expressed interest in having Ahkmou and Metus meet. What do you think would come of this meeting?

10. If a Makuta dies while still connected to a being wearing an Infected Mask, what would happen? Would the mask become tied to another Makuta, or would it become usless?

11. How was Teridax able to rip apart the Toa Kaita? And make Shadow Toa?

Thanks. I hope we can find an alternative way to connect you with fans somehow.

That'd be awesome (guaranteed you'd get like a thousand likes or followers!) I do have the app, but I'm not a free builder so it's not something I would be able to create things for.

P.S. did you have ever have plans for him to find her?

I probably won't get another chance, as the message boards change to read-only soon. 1. What was the ratio of Krana to Bohrok? I mean, there was definitely more Krana than Bohrok, but how many more? My guess is 8 krana for every one Bohrok, but that's just a guess. 2. A while ago, I asked about Takanuva's ressurection at the end of Mask of Light. At the time you had no answer and turned to the fans for help, in a manner similar to a 'Marvel No-Prize'. Did we ever get an answer on that? 3.Could a Kanohi Mohtrek send a message into the past by carving words onto their past-self's armor? 4. During 2006, you used a Jaller prototype as a basis for his in-fiction appearance. Said prototype had two Energized Flame Swords, so my question is, how did it hold both the swords and a Zamor Launcher? 5. On a similar note to question 4, how did the Nuparu prototype you used in 2007 hold his shield, Aqua Blaster Blade, and a Cordak Blaster? 6. What was the purpose of Rahi in the MU? What did they do to help Mata Nui function properly? Buried Buried. Again. If you can't answer some of the questions, you can just ignore those.
MooCowsRock	2017-02-22 18:04 UTC–5 Permalink Mr. Farshtey: Why did Vakama experience visions of the future? Is there a specific cause? Did Mata Nui somehow send them to him while asleep, or was there some other reason?

TeShadowedOne1	2017-02-22 23:02 UTC–5 Permalink Thank you for canonizing that the Spear of Fusion was created by Artakha. Its origins haven't been questioned for a long time. However a few more questions remain that I'd love to see answered. 1. Considering that Artakha made the Spear of Fusion on the island of Artakha, there still remains how it got off. Was it - 1a. Sold to the Brotherhood of Makuta before Kojol's raid when Artakha didn't consider or need to have his island a secret and relations were still good with the Brotherhood. 1b. Sold to the Dark Hunters because it's first known use was the fusion of two Toa to create the Dark Hunter known as Prototype. 1c. Stolen by Makuta Kojol during his raid on Artakha's fortress when he took the Mask of Light. 2. Also curious how it ended up in Teridax's armory in his Mangaia chamber on Mata Nui. It seemed that the Dark Hunters used it for a while before it ended up in the hands of the Brotherhood. Did it switch sides often before the Piraka found it? 3. Considering the fact the Spear was burned to ashes by Jaller during the Toa Inika's confrontation with Vezon, the Spear of Fusion was not made of Protosteel correct? 4. The Spear of Fusion seemed to have varying effects with its usage. When Hakann used it on Vezok, it created an entire new being in Vezon. When Vezon used it in the Mask of Life chamber on a bird, it split the creature into two birds with one wing which died. Could these effects be controlled by the user? Or was its fusion or splitting powers random?

druzyna	2017-02-23 01:58 UTC–5 Permalink Hi Greg! I'm really curious about this. 1. Can Matoran Kaita or Matoran Nui change into Toa Kaita or completely new being: Toa Nui with 3/6 Toa Stones or it needs something different and more powerful like for example Nui Stone.
