Hey there! I have a number of questions, but I'll try to be concise.

 

1. Are Bionicles capable of using more then one power at once? We never see a Makuta use two powers at the same time or a Toa use his mask power and his elemental power at the same time. Are they simply incapable of using two or more powers at a time?

2. Are a Makuta's 42 powers equal to the power of a level 6 Kraata?

3. Are a Makuta's powers of fire resistence and ice resistence always on, or do the have to be activated like the other Makuta powers to take any effect?

4. I always thought of the Makuta power of limited invulnerability to mean being invulnerable for a limited amount of time. A friend of mine believes that it means the Makuta is invulnerable, to an extent, when activated. Or, to put it another way, the Makuta is far more durable but not completely invulnerable when the power is active. Is either one of these correct?

5. How limited of a range would you say a Makuta's teleporting power is? Antroz teleported multiple times to get from one spot to another in Karda Nui, but it sounded as if he was only going hundreds of feet with each teleport.

6. What do you think a Nova blast from a Toa of gravity do?

 

Many thanks for answering!

Good points with number one. It begs the question, though- was there a city like Metru Nui but filled with a-conventional (no Fire, Water, etc.) Tohungu? Perhaps on one of the continents or southern islands?

1.What would happen if Toa Ignika's mask was knocked off ? Would he disappear ?

2.Is it possible that Golden Armor is stronger than protosteel armor ?

3. How big is the Red star compared to GSR ? I would think it has to be at least as big as Metru Nui to house so much inhabitants...

PS: Have you decided on the answer to my previous question yet ? Happy


1) I don't think that could happen. I think the mask and body were probably one

2) Not that I am aware of.

3) Well, it also served as a rocket pack on his back when he was traveling, so it had to be at least big enough to provide enough thrust for that

4) I don't remember your previous question


My previous question and your previous answer were:

1. Can the legendary masks be infected ?

 


1) Good question. Let me think about  it.


My guess would be no.

Also I was wondering- Takanuva's armor changed black when he received his shadow powers- when he turned white in 2010, does that mean he lost his shadow power? Also, did Takanuva get the 42 Rahkshi powers when he was infected?
Thanks again!

1) Mask powers can  generally be used along with a natural power, but normally we do not have two natural powers used at once.

2) I would have to go back and check

3) Always on

4) Your friend is correct

5) In general, you need to be able to see where you are teleporting to, otherwise you risk materializing in the middle of an object

6) It would either vastly increase the power of gravity in an area or negate it completely

I would think that was very possible

1) He did lose it, yes

2) No. He was infected, he was not turned into a Makuta

Could you do comics of Chima?! I admire your work.

Do you mean like I do for Ninjago? Unfortunately, no -- Papercutz, the company that puts out the Ninjago graphic novels, does not have a license to do Chima books.

In the Takanuva Blog, there was a troop sent to find the island of Mata Nui. Did they find it or was it already destroyed ? And what happened to the troop?

Thank you again, Mr. Farshtey, for your answers. I know some of this stuff could probably be looked up, but remember:

Greg, did you really wanted to put dinosaurs (or something like that) into a Bionicle story?
