How long did the bohrok issue last?

1.Would the Bionicle characters be classified as "robots" with artificial intelligence or organic with living brains?(If so, then how long is the average matoran lifespan?)
2.Would the matoran be classified as "children" in the Bionicle universe?
3.What will happen to everyone on the red star?
4.What is your least favorite Bionicle character?(besides the Vaki)
1) They were bio-mechanical -- machine parts mixed with organic tissue. But there is no evidence that their brains were organic. And we know Matoran are capable of living for thousands of years.
2) No.
3) Depends on if they are able to get off of it or not.
4) The Vahki were pretty much it. No one else stood out to me as a character I disliked.

Basically, if a Toa can start a bonfire, a Turaga could light a torch.

It's a Great Mask, so yes, you could make more.

When are you going to make a Invaision From Below book? That will blow me away if you do!
I can't believe I'm really talking to a author!!!
Hi Bobby - Unfortunately, Scholastic cancelled the Hero Factory series after the fifth book, so I am not working on any more of these.

Neither adventure lasted particularly long.They were obviously Metru longer than Hordika.
As for the Bohrok, you were probably looking at maybe a month or six weeks for that adventure.

What about the Olmak? Vezon has his fused to his body, and Brutaka lost his. Could more be made?
And...were there are wearers of the Olmak active before Mata Nui's fall into comatose?
I read on BS01 that the Zivon was created by the Brotherhood of Makuta. Was it also placed in the Zone of Darkness by the Makuta (with maybe the help of a Kahgarak)? And might it have been developed from one or more Visorak, since its head resembles a Visorak's?
Did you go to college
? If so, what did you major in?

Nooooo! That's why I did'nt see them at the book fair. Maybe Disney/Hyperion could publish it. They publish some of my favorite books ever! Aretimis Fowl and Percy Jackson forever! Also, how do you know my name, if that is my name?

1) They were bio-mechanical -- machine parts mixed with organic tissue. But there is no evidence that their brains were organic. And we know Matoran are capable of living for thousands of years.
As far as evidence for organic brains, in real life, it has been demonstrated that a person (or animal, like a monkey) can manipulate machinery/computers with their brain if they are hardwired into it, however, if i recall correctly, it remains impossible for a machine to interact with and cause multiple organs to funcion normally. Also, organic muscles require organic nerves to contract.
Besides the muscle tissue, in "Legacy of Evil" (i think that's the book this was in), Vezok referred to a being needing various internal organs. And since they need to eat, would it be safe to say that they have organic digestive viscera as well?
Even if all that's mechanical, it's still confirmed that they have organic muscles... this includes the heart, right? (The heart is composed of cardiac muscle tissue) Since muscles need blood and all that. (and they have organic lungs, whose only purpose is to oxygenate the blood for transport to the rest of the body).
Another question, can they feel their mechanical parts? like if they didn't know someone was there, but that someone snuck up and tickled their mechanical parts with a feather, they would be able to feel that, right? (I know that sounds stupid, but that was the best example I could come up with to explain myself haha.)
Thanks for putting up with all our questions, Mr. Farshtey.

So a Turaga of Fire could, say, create and carry around a flame to see in the dark?
If they still have that much control over their element, why haven't we seen more turaga using their powers in the story more often?

This is just my opinion, but I think because it expends more energy then they feel they need to spend.

Story existed. by and large, to promote set sales, and we only did Turaga sets in 2001, if I am not mistaken. So putting an emphasis on power use by Turaga was not something LEGO was asking me to do.
