Greg, do you know if Bionicle will be coming back in 2015? If you're not allowed to say, I understand.


He's not allowed to comment on it.

 He'll lose his job. Only LEGO will confirm it when it's ready to be confirmed. About 70% of these comments mentions the leak's it's possible they could be false, Only time will tell. So please be patient.

Dear Greg, 
 
My name is Jack & I have been a fan and a collector (not a thief) of Bionicle since 2005 and I have heard about your theme returning to the public next year. I have some ideas that you might like to hear.
 
1. A Massively Multi-player Online Game called Bionicle Online. which goes through the entire story line of Bionicle and beyond to a war that spans through multiple universes and dimensions. On one side is Matakuta Nui (Mata Nui's new form), The Legendary god who wears the Ignika Nuva, The Legendary Mask of the Great Beings and the Order of Creation. And on the other side, Kraakhakuta Nui (A dystopian version of Mata Nui with a black Kanohi Ignika, The Legendary Mask of Death), The Legendary Darkness and his Brotherhood of Shadows. You can choose to be a hero (Bionicle Mainstream universe and Galactic Multiverse) or a villain (Dark Multiverse) in order to decide the fate of the Galactic Omniverse, a place that spans through every direction and through every reality. In order to play the game, you need a special visor that can connect wirelessly on your console or PC. A mobile variant of the game and specific products can unlock exclusive content in the main game like the 10 cards for Legends of Chima Online. I know back in 2003, you introduced the Kanohi Vahi, the Legendary Mask of Time, so I was thinking beyond the main timeline of Bionicle.
 
2. For the comics, DC and Marvel should team up with LEGO to create new Bionicle comics along with crossovers when we reach The Galactic War Saga (see above). 
 
3. Characters, Rahi, and locations from the original storyline should be made into LEGO sets so fans can create stories in the Legacy Series.

4. We should bring back bioniclestory.com to make new legends.
 
5. There should be a movie about Bionicle 2015 with Journey's End as the prologue. 
 
6. There should be a TV series about Bionicle on Nicktoons called "The Legend of the Bionicle" from when Takua first began collecting the six Toa Stones created by the Toa Metru (Turaga) to the very end. Each chapter in the books, Mata Nui Online Games, fan stories that relate to the mainstream story, comics, and online chapters will act as an episode in the series. 
 
If these ideas don't smell like Makuta bones or may be the destiny of the Bionicle, write me back if you have a chance.
 
Your new ally,
 
Jack R.

I have some more questions. Just adding on to one of my previous questions, I have just remembered that half the Makuta were blinded, and that they couldn't escape. I still really don't like the fact that they were killed off, but enough of that.

 

1: What is your least favorite character to write about? What is your most?

 

2: Can you confirm the rumors that Bionicle is coming back in 2015? I'm just joking. Anyways, who's your favorite Toa Mata? As a character, not as a set.

 

3: Although he didn't play that big of a role in the story, who's descision was it to kill off Carapar? I'm just curious. Why Carapar?

They are humanoid, but I would not classify them as humans. While there are similarities between Glatorian, Agori, GBs and humans, they are not on Earth and I do not think they would be considered part of the human species.

This is just a small hypothetical question: If masks are attached magnetically to the face of a toa/turaga/matoran (If this is not canon, sorry for this), could a toa of magnatism (or Gahlok-Kal when it existed) cut off the magnetic field, causing said mask to simply fall off of their face?


Yes

Why can you not post there?

 

Also here are a few questions

Would it be possible for Female Rahkshi to exist?

If bionicle WERE to return, NOT as a reboot, but it continued, do you think that it is possible for say Velika or a great being to create a Nui Stone, and after "burrowing" the Mask of Creation and with the Antidermis Pool along with some EP to re-create the Makuta Species? And all of them are re-created but Teridax would become less ambitious so as to trust his fellow Makuta and NOT eradicate them all? Because i do not see a TRUE BIONICLE without a Makuta or two in it.

 

Plus my self moc is a Makuta...so i am kind of attachted to them.


1) LEGO policy is that we cannot post on a non-LEGO site where there are kids under 13 present. BZP has no age verification system to be able to tell what age their members are, so I can't post there.

2) Although I am sure we have referred to Rahkshi as "he" at some point, we really never thought of the kraata as having genders.

3) Impossible to predict what it might look like if it came back. That would be up to the story team.

1) Least favorite is anyone who speaks treespeak. Most would probably be the villains.

2) Kopaka

3) Mine, I think. And because he was the least interesting of the Barraki, being basically strong and dumb.

Hello Greg Farshtey! I'm a big fan of your work for LEGO.

 

Lately there has been a lot of hype about the supposed return of Bionicle. This got me thinking. I am sorry if someone has already asked this, but...

 

Do YOU want Bionicle to return?


As long as it is done well and there is enough audience interest in it to sell sets, yes.

Hi, me again, and I have a couple questions regarding characters:

1. Would there be any good reason for the Turaga to turn back into Toa Metru (or Dume or, assuming they made it back from the Red Star, Jovan or Lhikan) via the Mask of Life, assuming it isn't made dormant post-Mata Nui's occupancy of it?

2. Can the Piraka still be considered exisiting entities at this point?

3. How mutated were the Barraki?

4. How close were the prototypes of the Phantoka/Mistika to the original Toa Nuva?

Thanks if you could answer these!


1) No, that is not going to happen.

2) Not really, no, they are part of a new being

3) Pretty severely mutated

3) Oh, I don't remember what the prototypes looked like, that was years ago.

1. When a toa wears a noble kanohi, will it turn their primary color or their secondary color? The reason I ask is the noble kanohi relased in '01 were the secondary colors, but the noble kanohi in MNOG were their primary colors.

2. How did Vakama not know that his mask was a great Huna? He was a maskmaker so I assume he would have known many many mask styles. It was also not that uncommon of a mask as we see both Balta and Sarda wore great Hunas as Matoran. Could it just have been a foreign style of great Huna that Vakama happened to somehow acquire and the Metru Nui style great Huna is different looking?


1) Primary

2) He would have known Metru Nui style masks, not necessarily those of other places. That could have been a Huna originally acquired in trade.

Environmental science, properties of liquid protodermis, diplomacy, that sort of thing.
