Greg, out of all the themes you've designed, Bionicle, Ninjago, Chima, WHATEVER, what is your favorite character out of all those themes? Favorite weapon?
P.S. You're so awesome that you can beat Chuck Norris in a fist-fight.
Kopaka, and I don't have a favorite weapon, I don't think. Actually, I do, but it is from before I worked here -- back when I worked at the game company, I wrote for this humor game called Paranoia sometimes, and in one of our books we had a weapon that was a bunch of pieces of paper on a chain mechanism. We called it the papercut chainsaw. That was something.

Why are the vahki your least favorite characters? Is it lack of personality in them? And which is worse for you, treespeak or vahki?
And does the ignika have control over it's element giving/weapon upgrading power, or does it just do it automatically?
1) Exactly. I never liked enemies that were just mobs with no personality. Same reason I don't like zombie movies.
2) It does have control, yes

I discoverd bionicle to late.
At this point, between work and taking care of my daughter, I don't really have time but I am hoping I can make some at some point. The second problem is there is no place to post any of it since BIONICLEstory is gone.

Bonjour Greg,
Would Fa-Matoran having a better sense of direction or internal "compass" make sense?
That is certainly a really interesting idea, I like it.
Mace3739 wrote:About how tall is your average Glatorion?
Probably about 7 feet tall, give or take a few inches.

Woot! We got cannon! 
Nice one, tuma
A few more questions. I really appreciate your effort, Greg
When the Glatorian got their elemental powers, where they actually implemented inside them, or was it just confined to the particular weapon that touched the ignika?
Where is the Marender currently located?
If someone had the spear of fusion, reapaired the Matoran Universe, got a power source for it, and entered their mind into the robot, would it still work? This question is particularly important for my Bio Continuation.
If you saw a Le-matoran walking down the road towards you, what would you do?
There will be a new season, yes. I think it starts in December, but I haven't heard anything official yet.

1) I believe it would have been inside of them
2) Don't know offhand
3) Probably, yes
4) Probably not talk to him so as to avoid treespeak
What college degree does one need to be a mastermind such as yourself?

My degree is in Communications.
Regarding elemental traits, there were non-canon polls held on BZPower asking about Bo, Su, Fa, and Ba-Matoran, just to see what people liked (the internal compass idea was actually the most popular in the Fa-Matoran poll). I've put all the poll options in jammers below, to save space; are there any that you like?
Also, was there ever a concern that Kraata packs wouldn't sell well because you couldn't build a lot of their corresponding Rahkshi (for example, you could get a Power Scream Kraata, but you couldn't build a Power Scream Rahkshi because they are purple)?
As always, thank you for your time!
