Did you ever plan out what was south of artidax (in mata nui's feet)?

Whats the primary difference between earth and stone?

what happens to the red star? sinse its useless now it seems like a loose end to me.

How accurate is BS01?

Is energized protodermis like a less powerful mask of life or is there something else that makes it special?

What are you basing the term "complete failure" on, Timmy? Retail sales figures? Wholesale orders? Or just your own opinion?

Before any LEGO line is released, the models are tested with kids. What we go with is, in part, what does best with these focus groups. So while you may not like IFB, it is entirely possible that there are other people who do. So only you can answer why you don't like it - I can't do that for you.

The Protocairn combiner model (from 2005) includes a Rhotuka launcher, but BS01 doesn't state that the Protocairns use Rhotuka. Thus, my questions:

 

  1. Do the Protocairns have/carry Rhotuka launchers?
  2. If so, do they all have a set power? Or does it vary between individuals, as in the case of Frostelus and other sapient beings? (For that matter, are the Protocairns still sapient?)

Which powers can the Alternate Teridax not use.

1) I plan very little. I create stuff as I need it.

2) Simple. Imagine being hit in the head with a rock. Now imagine being hit in the head with a clump of dirt. That's the difference.

 

3) Is it useless? It is packed full of characters. All you have to do is get it to land on Spherus Magna and you could let all those beings out.

 

4) I haven't done an extensive survey of BS01, so it's impossible for me to answer this.

 

5) No, EP is not a Mask of Life equivalent. EP mutates you or destroys you.

In the Toa Empire universe, Takanuva put the Avohkii on that universe's Takua, but the alt Takua did not transform. Was this because the alt Takua was not destined to be a Toa, or was the Avohkii just drained of the Toa Power needed to transform Alt Takua? Or was it both?

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


1. Then what is the closest thing to a tribe change that the Mask of Mutation could do?

1a. Speaking of which, the mask is capable of "undo[ing] other mutations, but without knowledge of exactly what the original mutation did, it becomes more difficult to reverse it". Could that ever include undoing a Hordika Venom-induced mutation?

3. If the three masks being fused together are a Mohtrek, a Matatu, and a Faxon, what powers does the resulting Kaita Kanohi have?

I mean the webisode seeing it I expected more of an epic, monster vs. robot battle, it was disapointing, the sets and prices are ok.

I can't really speak to this, since I had nothing to do with its development. In general, especially for something that is going to be viewed internationally, we always have to be aware of the level of action/violence in what we do.

1) The mask can do a lot of things, but I don't believe it can change your fundamental element, which is what you would need for a tribe change.

1a) I would have to say yes.

 

2) Being four years removed from BIONICLE, I hesitate to start inventing new mask powers. Odds are I would name something we already have in story.

He was not destined to become a Toa in that universe.

Don't know. I have not heard anything from the publisher about new graphic novels for 2015 yet, so for right now, I am not working on anything.
