Alrighty, understood, and thank you for the reply!

 

A few more questions, if I may. Mainly regarding Velika and his time in the MU.

 

1: You've been saying that you believe the reason Velika is doing all that he is is because he feels Spherus Magna needs a stronger guiding hand. With this is mind, why didn't he act during his time in the MU? Be it to control the MU, or help it succeed in its intended goal.

 

2: When Velika transferred himself into a Matoran body, what went with his consciousness? Like, say, did any "GB powers" (assuming those exist) follow?

 

That is all I can currently think of at the moment! Once again, thank you much!

1) Acting in the MU would have exposed him, and if the other GBs had any inkling of what was going on when the MU returned, they might have been able to stop him.

 

2) I have personally never seen the GBs as having powers, other than their genius and inventive skill. They were scientist-kings, not superheroes.

1) Could One being bear multiple great kanohi at once?

2) If your daughter is old enough so you can come back, will you write more stories on LEGO?

I read somewhere (BS01 probably) that the Agori/Glatorian have metallic skeletons, and in the last movie, "The Legend Reborn," it seemed like they have mechanical bodies. Is their metallic skeleton an exoskeleton, or are their bones on the inside (endoskeleton) like ours? (If they're on the inside, what made them look mechanical?) Also, since the Great Beings designed the Matoran/Toa after them, would their mechanical parts be in place of the skeletal structures of the Agori/Glatorian?

 

Often a Toa's armor has been referred to... is that just their mechanical anatomy, or is it additional armor they wear?

 

How do Kanohi attach to their wearer? In the movies, they were depicted as moving with the wearer's face to provide emotion; is that really how it works, or do they just not depend on facial expressions to convey emotion as we do?

 

Do people in the bionicle universe eat food?

 

Does the Mask of Life still have its own consciousness or has that been replaced by Mata Nui's mind?

 

Thank you so much!


 

1) I don't recall us ever stating they had metallic skeletons. They sometimes have mechanical enhancements, but they are by mature organic beings. They are not bio-mechanical like Toa are.

2) It's additional armor

3) They attach magnetically

4) The facial expressions thing largely exists in the movies and the books, but not in the comics. In the comics, feelings are conveyed largely by tone of voice and body language.

5) Yes

6) Mata Nui's mind has been superimposed on it


1-2) So what part(s) of the Toa are mechanical/biological? And what parts of the sets are additional armor vs. part of their anatomy? I think the metallic skeleton thing came from BS01... should it be removed?

3) So a Toa of magnetism could in theory disable kanohi by making them fall off a wearer?

4) Which is more accurate?

 

Thanks again!

If I may interject, the second to last(Was it third to last?) chapter of Journey's End, and the last comic.

1) No, you can't wear more than one mask at a time

2) I am still doing Ninjago and Chima books and stories for publication, as requested by publishers. If you are asking about BIONICLE, no  one at LEGO is asking to me to work on these since the line is no longer active and there are no longer official sites to post them.

Is it possible for a Bionicle to die of old age?

That could have happened only if he destroyed all 42 types  in that battle, and it has never been stated that all 42 types were there.

1) I can't speak to the sets, as I am not a set designer. As for the Toa, the only parts so far identified as organic are their lungs and their muscle tissue.
2) If BS01 is stating that Glatorian/Agori have metal skeletons, that is not accurate so far as I recall.
3) Yes. Just as Rahi can disable one by knocking it off.
4) We always saw them as two different artistic versions of the same characters, created due to the demands of film over comics, with neither "more" accurate than the other.

They have much longer lifespans than humans, but yes, it is possible for an MU inhabitant to break down eventually.

Was the red star's "reincarnation" function always broken, or did it work at some point in time? Also, BS01 has identified some other individuals besides Lhikan (such as Toa Naho) who have been brought back... can you confirm/deny that?

 

Speaking of Naho (and the other Toa Mangai for that matter), did their armor look similar to Lhikan's, or did everyone have a different design? (judging from the fact that other toa teams have similar armor) Would you be able to confirm which masks they wore/what elements they controlled?

How was that Great Being able to talk to Vezon and shut off his mask if they were in separate demensions at the time?

Did the Great Beings know about the energized-protodermis leaking from Spherus Magna when they built the Prototype robot? Or was that them just building giant robots because they could?Joking
