Biomeca132	2017-02-25 17:29 UTC–5 Permalink Hello Mr. Farshtey, I have some questions in order to clarify some grey areas of two topics: the Awakening and the MUian behaviours regarding death and ressurection. 1a) Which reasons prompted Velika to do the Awakening? What were his motivations? 1b) Did the consequences of having sapient MUians (freewill, emotions, warlike and ideological conflits, Teridax-like behaviours, ...) were well known at the moment by Velika? Do they have any importance in his plans? 2a) Did Mata Nui was fully sapient from the begining or was affected by the Awakening like other MUians? 2b) If he was already sapient, why wasn't he astonished by the consequences of the Awakening? Did he know that was somehow possible? 3a) Before the Red Star's dysfonction, did the ressurection of the dead was common knowledge among the MUians? Since we know that Gaardus waited a long time to kill again and again the rogue Nynrah Ghosts who mutated him, it seems that it was. 3b) If yes, was death taken lightly at that time? 4a) Since the ressurection process was intended to work properly on non-sapient beings, did the revived MUians sent back to the MU had generally gone insane, lunatic or quite weird? 4b) If so, did the fear of death was already present at that time for the rest of MUians? Therefore, did the living avoided the revived? 4c) If it's not all of that, how reacted the revived to their ressurection and how reacted the living to the return of the dead? 5) After the Red Star's dysfonction, how MUians have forgotten all of that while other myths and legends continued to being remembered through ages (as Tren Krom, for example)? And to finish, an easy one: 6) Does Tahu wears the Golden Armor over his Adaptive Armor? In other words, does the GA connects itself over Tahu's AA?
druzyna	2017-02-25 18:40 UTC–5 Permalink Mr. Farshtey I have some questions about Kaita masks: 1)If Toa Kaita has mask with powers of Kanohi that these three Toa worn, then if it works with Matoran Kaita/Nui? 2)Would anything bad happen if one of Toa, who were making Kaita of themselves wore legendary Kanohi (or if not, would it happen if they would use more than one)? 3)If Toa Kaita would put off his mask, would it defuse? 4)If one of fused Toa wore Avohkii and other one Krahkaan and last didn't wear a mask, would they create a Kanohi, that Takutanuva worn? And last question just about Kanohi: 5)Is Krahkaan made of Antidermis?
alpharex8906	2017-02-25 18:51 UTC–5 Permalink Blazejump3726, I'm not sure if these are questions that you're asking, but there are a great many of them. Also, most of the masks/sets that you're "getting" don't even exist in set (or, in some cases, canon) form. Am I the only one a bit confused about what's going on here?

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. Android or iOS? if android, which device do you have?

voporak1	2017-02-25 23:10 UTC–5 Permalink Hi Mr Greg 1. Botar can escape himself from the Red Star with his power of teleportation if he wanted?
SurelNuva	2017-02-26 05:52 UTC–5 Permalink So, according to the Bionicle World Spiriah tempered with the Skakdi more than 70,000 years ago. The evolution of the Makuta was 40,000/30,000 years ago, which was the reason (as I remember) to have the Toa Hagah teams. How did Spiriah have a Toa Hagah team, if his exile was long before the evolution? Or had the Makuta Toa Hagah teams before the event?
OnionShark	2017-02-26 05:52 UTC–5 Permalink OnionShark wrote: 1) I found a contradiction on those two Glatorian bodies found in Dwellers In Darkness in the Core Processor: in 2009 you said they were pilots who were employed by the GBs to pilot the GSR in case its systems were damaged and they died in the GC, but in 2014 you said that they were only supposed to pilot the GSR for its inital launch and that they were supposed to eject, but things didn’t work out that way, and that something disabled killed them before they could, way before the GC. I’d usually trust the earlier version, but on things like this, I’m not really sure. But if the correct version is the second one, who or what caused their deaths? And was it intentional? 2) You mentioned that you're working on something non-LEGO-related, can you tell us what it is? 3) Would it be possible for you to join the BS01 wiki to continue answering questions? Like, people could ask you things on your talk page. It doesn't really have an age-verification system, but since it is part of the LEGO Ambassador Network it wouldn't be a problem, right? I believe this was buried

Yes, but you had said that it biologically was a Rahi, while not really confirming that it met all the criteria (wich is what I originally asked about).

I checked every piece of Bionicle media that contains Toa Hagah (not as many as you'd think), and none of them say that the Toa Hagah were employed for that, so there's no reason to think that Spiriah didn't have a Toa Hagah team.

The couple that I really liked I tended to write about a lot and then people got sick of them Cheers Greg! I appreciate the info, it's cool to see you remember this stuff years after you finished. If I could ask a few more: 1. I haven't been able to find a citation but lots of people seem to think it, so could we please get confirmation that Icarax used to wear the Mask of Scavenging before the Kraahkan? 2. How are the Metru Nui Turaga reacting to Spherus Magna? Do they have a particular place in society, and how is Vakama doing now that his tormentor is gone? 3. Do you have a favourite Piraka (Nektann included), Barraki and Makuta (sans Teridax)? ~~4. Do you imagine the G2 Mask of Creation looking like what Artakha would wear in G1?~~ (Already answered) 5. Was there a specific character you wanted to bring back by introducing the Red Sun? 6. Is there a moment you wrote in any medium that hit home to you in parcitular? Thanks again! Buried, understandably. It makes sense if you don't have the time to respond to this before the forums shut down, though it'd be appreciated! Hope the flood of questions aren't overwhelming you.
