Can a Toa Hordika create 'spider webs' just like the Visorak do?

I don't believe so, no. They are bestial but they are not spiders.

Is it true that vezon was your favorite charecter to write about in bionicle?

Is it true that you did not really like writing in treespeak?

Is it overwhelming answering all these questions?

1) One of them yes

2) Yes

3) No. When BIONICLE was active and I was on one of the fan sites, I used to get 100-150 questions a day, easy. So this is comparatively easy to handle.

Hello again!

 

I was wondering:

How did the Red Star's function break and why couldn't it be fixed?

Probably just wear and tear. If you ever watched Star Trek (especially original Star Trek), their transporter systems used to break all the time. My  guess is the problem was more complicated than the Kestora knew how to fix, at least up to this point.

---

Ok I understand this but does it/ can it be fixed?

Yes, but at this point, you would still have a problem if it was fixed. It's designed to transport to and from Mata Nui, and Mata Nui (the robot) no longer exists. So it would have no  place to send anyone back to.

Hey Greg just wondering, does the Hageman brothers work at the warner brothers studio???

---

I already answered this - I don't know where they work. It's entirely possible they work at their home, a lot of freelance writers do. It's rare these days for writers to have offices at a movie studio, because they are usually doing work for a lot of different studios, often at the same time.

Hi again, Greg!  I have another interesting question.

Since Brutaka is infected with Antidermis, could the Makuta that that specific Antidermis is from have survived inside Brutaka's body?

---

It wasn't from a specific Makuta, as I recall.

Could a Mask of Mutation be used to change a Matoran's tribe (ex. Ta-Matoran to Ko-Matoran)?

 

Can Rahkshi of Ice Resistance or Fire Resistance make themselves unbearably hot to the touch or cold and clammy respectively like their kraata can?

 

If a Toa Kaita gets a new mask from the combination of its component Toa's three masks, what powers does that mask have? I remember you said the Toa Kaita "do[es]n't get access to the powers of the individual mask".

 

And if a Mask of Weakness were made from a Kanoka of Weakness, how do you think it might be used?

---

1) No

2) No

3) It would vary depending on which three masks were being mixed together

4) To weaken an opponent, I would assume

Hello Mr. Farshtey,

it's an honor of me chatting with you. I have one question on Velika's name:

 

- In 2012, on BZPower (I cannot link to it, but the thread was called “[Update 9/20] Disguised Great Being Revealed!”), you stated that “The Great Being was already named Velika before inhabiting the Matoran body.”
- But in 2013, on page 234 of this chat, you wrote that “He assumed [the name] as a Matoran.”

 

So my question is: Which version is right? Is Velika the name of the Great Being or did the Great Being change his name to Velika when he was part of the Matoran Universe, which would make “Velika” a pseudonym?

---

1) I wasn't on BZPower in 2012.

---

That is true, you havent been on BZPower in 2012, not in person. But the member Erebus wrote that he has been communicating with you (outside of BZPower, of course) and he posted that you told him that “The Great Being was already named Velika before inhabiting the Matoran body.”

 

So if Erebus hasn't been lying, as far as I understand that statement creates a contradiction to the statement in this Chat (“He assumed [the name] as a Matoran.”).

 

I just want to know, if “Velika” is his real name or a pseudonym.

---

I probably did give him that answer, but in retrospect, it doesn't make sense given that it is at least POSSIBLE that some of the earliest creations might have known some or all GB names. So if he wanted to keep his status undercover, it wouldn't have made sense to use his real name, especially since he had no way of knowing that the GB would lose all contact with the MN robot.
