How do Matoran/Agori reproduce? Do they spawn or are they born? and

 

Are Glatorian a seperate race from Agori? Or are they more toa-like, where Agori transform into them. (Based on the books and movies, I am suspecting it is the first answer.)

Well, I ain't no Greg Farhtey, but I think I can help. Joking

1. Matoran do not reproduce, but instead are sent back in new bodies by the Red Star (well, until it malfunctioned).

2. Yes.

 

BTW, love your sig! Joking

Since a mask can be infused with lots of life energy to resurrect the wearer, what would happen if this was done to a stolen kanohi while the wearer was still alive? A clone?

I have a question. What is energized protodermis?


We know it is a naturally occurring and powerful substance on Spherus Magna, with mutagenic properties. Anyone exposed to it either transforms or is destroyed, there is no middle ground. EP is also sapient and sentient.

Where did the original source of anitdermis come from?

 

Speaking of the antidermis and the Makuta, how were the Makuta able to use energized protodermis every time to create Rahkshi with such certainty? Wouldn't it have destroyed the antidermis/kraata some of the time/turned it into something else? And if antidermis+EP makes kraata, then why didn't that happen when the Inika shot their zamor spheres at the antidermis enslaved matoran of Voya Nui?


1) The Great Beings created antidermis

2) Remember, EP is sapient - it knows what it is going to turn things into, and kraata become Rahkshi armor.

3) Insufficient antidermis for that to happen.

I'm not aware of a way the Nuva could break their connection to them.

Why is the bionicle story stop'tCrying


BIONICLE isn't an active line anymore, and hasn't been for four years now. The story existed to promote awareness of the sets, and there are no sets to promote awareness of anymore.

1) Matoran do not have biological reproduction, Agori do. Matoran were created artificially, but exactly how we never defined. (The answer about the red star is also correct, but that only applies to Matoran who have died, not new ones.)

2) They are a separate race

Sure, as long as it sold well. If it came back and didn't do well, it would be really difficult if not impossible to bring it back again later.

So, it's kind of implied in the Mask of Light movie that Jaller has a crush on Hahli...do couples even work in the Bionicle world? And are the Toa Mata actually brothers and sister, or do they just call one another that? (In general, are there any siblings among Bionicles?)

Thanks, I am thinking of having Batman... Smash Joker in the script, that would really make the Rest of the story.. darker...

#1. Marvel?  I guess they are making better movies right now, I mean... Gal Gadot? REALLY?

Hi Greg,

 

Since the serials like The Powers That Be are unfinished and are unlikely to be finished, would you ever consider having another flash fiction contest on BZPower to finish them, so long as you gave us the general idea of where the story is headed?  Of course, you would have to approve them to be considered official canon, but I would love to read the completed stories, especially about the Great Beings and Red Star. 

 

I love your work!  I look forward to reading more of your works in the future!  Thanks for your time!

Hi Greg

 

It's great to be able to speak with you, Bionicle was something very special to have lasted all this time, I understand you also are working on newer projects, but I'm afraid I'm here because of your work on Bionicle.

 

Like a lot of people, I am holding my breath on a continuation or sequel of Bionicle at some point in the future, but the major problem seems to be how the end was handled, aswell as making it difficult to continue the story with Makuta Teridax dead, the destruction of Mata Nui was heart breaking for us who grew up on the Mata Nui storyline.

 

If you were to be working on a Bionicle reboot or continuation, would you consider changing/ uncanonizing the final fights with the great spirit robot and where the Matoran Universe fell face down, to allow you to continue working with Teridax, and to preserve Mata Nui from destruction? Since Mata Nui was where Bionicle started of course, could it be a viable platform on which to base a reboot?

How far can various beings with teleportation power travel? (Makuta, Botar's species, Artahka, etc.)
