2. I believe that the shock of Mata Nui’s awakening and the shock of exiting the MU would be the only cases in which the theorized glitch would occur. However I would suppose that Tahu’s desert form being similar to his swamp form would make a little more sense.  If a robot was offline for a millennium and suddenly awoke wouldn’t a few “circuits” go haywire?

 

4. What about the island of Mata Nui? If a being died on it, would they also not get revived?

 

One more question that isn’t completely story based:

What is your favorite Kanohi mask?

1) No, I don't. I think that would have been before my time.

2) No, I don't. The few names that were left on the last list were pretty bad, and I no longer have that list.

3) That was not the plan, no.


3) Well but Velika did observe both party in the Great being's fortress along with Kopaka, Pohatu and Gaardus disappearing and he also gave Kabrua device to block Toa's power. It seemed to me that Yesterday quest team would eventualy run into either Lewa or GB fortress and warn others about Velika since they're all in Bota magna...

 


Can you please answer this part of my question ?

And also, Velika said that Kopaka and Pohatu were needed for his plan.

2) Yes, but that assumes the functioning of this armor is directly tied to the state of Mata Nui. We haven't seen that with other Toa armor or weaponry, so it is a stretch to say only this armor would get directly affected by his awakening.

4) Correct

 

5) I really don't recall. We did a lot of masks.

2. I see. That makes sense. I guess you also can’t confirm the desert form theory simply because you are not a set designer. Then I’ll just assume that the Nuva being sky and swamp forms is similar to how Takanuva possesses his Power Lance and Midak Skyblaster in the book Journey of Takanuva. It was simply a matter of artistic license. I have just one more question about the adaptive armor: When would the Toa Nuva’s armor be in its default form? In an urban area? Or elsewhere? 

 

4. Voya Nui is no exception to this, right? So even if someone died on the robot’s outer shell, they would still not be revived?

Greg, how many Internet Signatures would be required for you to reveal TSO's real name? Because I think I could legitimatley pull off any number you name (other than like 10,000 or something.) These signatures would also aknowledge that his name may be a total dissapointment and that they don't care.


I don't think this would be worth your time.


I admit, we have more free times on our hands then we can handle. But I thought you said you forgot TSO's name.

 

Were there any other big names you planned to reveal, before the unjust Teridax backlash?

I'm notoriously slow, so I won't be able to buy Graphic novel #10 until I see it in a store I go to, in which case I will buy it and run around in circles screaming "YES!!!"Joking

 

Could you tell us a little something about the idea of sending our favorite ninjas into space?  Maybe a hint as to the big bad of the book, such as his motives? Maybe the slightest hint to what we should expect to see in #12...?

So after watching the Ninjago episodes dealing with the return of the Serpentine, I couldn't help but notice(And cringe. Serpentine who were shown trying to destroy the ninja and be interested in ruling the world actually trying to warn the very beings they were trying to harm? Ridiculous!) that the Serpentine were telling a very different origin story then what was established in your own Ninjago graphic novel #4, Tomb of the Fangpyre.

 

I will put spoilers for graphic novel #4 in Jammers, because it's an excellent book worth reading without spoiling:

 

Jammers
So, were the Serpentine really trying to warn the people about the Golden Master, or was your book the most accurate, in which the history of the Serpentine is revealed as the Great Devourer breathes forth the four tribes (And in the book, it mentioned four tribes, not five. Did you not mention the Anacondrai on purpose?) to conquer Ninjago? Was this "Serpentine turn good" a last minute attempt to give happy pre-teen girls more fan-fiction ideas? Which do you think sounds more reasonable?

 

Sorry for so many questions, I just don't know what to think.

When the Piraka were fused into the golden skinned being, were they teleported to the red star? And also, couldn't a Makuta or Olmak user teleport reincarnated beings back to the motoran universe/spherus magna? If Vezon were refused with Vezok, would he be sent to the red star? And would Vezok get Vezon's memorioes and personality?

Hey Mr. Farshtey,

What happened to Lhikan's mask after it was brought to Daxia? Was it taken out of the Universe when Teridax was killed?

Also, why did Takanuva abandon his power lance in favor of his old lightstaffs? Wouldn't it make sense to use the more powerful weapon?

When botar was "ended", he would have gone to the red star, right? And considering his teleportation powers, couldn't he have returned on his own? So with that in mind, two questions: a. Why didn't he help solve the overpopulation problem up there, and b. Why did they have "botar's replacement" instead of the original botar?

Lots of Piraka questions:

1)Couldn't Zakatan rearrange his protodites to look like any other greenish form?

2)Could Thok take control of a Toa's mechanical parts, armor, or mask?

3)What's Zakatan's Skakdi power, if he got his protodites from The Shadowed One?

4)Do Vezok's replication power and Reidak's adapt power ever wear off?

5)What are Vezon's Elemental, Skakdi, and vision powers?

6)If Vezon is a copy of Vezok, why is he a different color?

7)Who's your favorite Piraka? Mine is Thok.

And could you also write more "Legacy of Evil" type of stuff? Like why Thok failed to kidnap Turaga Dume.

Dear Mr. Farshtey.,

Are Toa allowed to avoid the "no-kill" rule of the Toa Code during full-scale high intensity conflicts? I was under the impression that the Toa defending Metru-Nui were allowed to break the rule during the Toa-Dark Hunter War. After all, the Toa were in a dire situation, where they were being picked off one by one facing a merciless enemy. Adhering to the code during this period of total war just wouldn't make sense. I also believe that the Dark Hunters probably wouldn't have surrendered were surrounded in Po-Metru if the Toa had kept to their strict "no-kill" policy.
