OK...I have a really long question that will boggle your brain for a bit, and it's a hypothetical sinario, so be prepared for insanity.

 

So, OK, there's the Mask of Fusion, right? So, what happens when you make a Mask of Fusion NUVA(Hypothetically)? If I recall, Nuva masks are more powerful in their abilities AND can allow people to share the ablities of the mask. So, say, instead of just fusing with one person with the Mask of Fusion Nuva (I'll call it the MoFN for short), you can fuse with two.

Now then, the BIONICLE series has shown examples of six people sharing the power of a Kanohi Nuva, albeit standing close to each other. So, get three teams of toa, have 6 Toa (One wearing the MoFN) stand in a circle, and then...BAM! Suddenly, all the Toa are fused. It makes sense. If each Toa in range of the MoFN fuses with two toa AND they use the power to fuse with themselves, they can make some sort of giant Toa combo. And you also have the KANOHI, which are now all fused together, and still have the powers fo the MoFN! So, you could, hypothetically, do the same thing with three MORE teams of Toa (albeit the giant Toa combo has to be in the center of the 6-toa circle)! And so on and so forth. And combine that with the Toa that are wearing a NORMAL Mask of Fusion, and the fusing becomes even more powerful!

So, here's my question: if a Mask of Fusion Nuva existed, hypothetically, do you think all the Toa could fuse into one being?

I heard on bzpower that you wrote the screen treatment to Bionicle 5. I also heard it is about biomechanical dinosaurs. If it does come back (you don't need to confirm it) would LEGO release the fifth movie?

You've just given a tantalizing hint that Velika has had loyal agents/contacts stationed on Bara Magna. My question, then, is a simple one.

 

Were any of the Bara Magna characters we saw in 2009 acting as informants for Velika?

 

(Or were most of Velika's contacts just people we didn't meet?)



I think it would be enormously unfair of me to say that and then say that all his agents were people you didn't meet (that seems like a cheat). So yes to your first question.


Whoa!

 

All right, this opens up a lot of speculation. Who could be an informant?

 

1) Here's my hypothesis - what if the Baterra are informants? After all, Velika probably helped to make them - he knows how to access them and reprogram them. What if there are a few Baterra stalking around Bara Magna, keeping an eye on things and reporting to Velika? Of course, we didn't see them in the story... but then, no one ever sees Baterra until it's too late. Smile

Reading through some of these questions, and then I hit the bit about Velika having informants, and some of them being characters we met back in 2009. WHAT? Four years on, and you only drop this bombshell on us now? WHY? Who are the informants? You can't drop this on us and then not tell us who it is!!!

 

Please Greg, share your knowledge with us!

I recently saw images and articles about a suspected Bionicle re-release in 2015. I am not asking you to confirm or deny it, but in an earlier post you said if Bionicle did come back, you would most likely erase all past history and start anew. However, I love the bionicle story, and if you deleted it, I would probably go crazy (more than I already am). You could instead have it be in a seperate world, making it have the same elements, virtues, and biomechanichal beings, but not coming in contact with the previous world and therefore preserving or even continuing it. I would love it if you could do something like that and not destroy the most amazing story I have ever read.


What it would be if it came back is just my speculation. But a reboot is a reboot -- it normally does not relate to the past version. The Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies are not taking place in the same "movie reality" as the Tobey Maguire ones did. The New 52 comic stories, although featuring the same characters as DC has always had, are not considered to be a part of the past comics' reality. That's basically the point of a reboot.


Tahu appers to be in it though,along with the other Toa Mata,those Defender people,and Lord of Skull Spiders

 

BTW,are the Defenders good or bad?by the name,its hard to tell.


I am only speculating on what BIONICLE MIGHT look like if it ever came back someday. We are not discussing anything you may have seen elsewhere on the web.


one of the main points that people who are trying to found out about Bionicle 2015 have noticed was on LEGO.com itself.

Also, you wrote:

>8) What island? The island of Mata Nui is the robot's face, why would Makuta want to destroy it? Same as your second question - the kraata have no reason to destroy the MU. Makuta wanted to rule the MU, not destroy it.

8.1. Can Makuta using any of his abilities destroy an island (any island) like Nocturn?

8.2. Okay, not destroy MU, rule it. With these powers Kraata/Rahkshi actually can achieve anything Makuta wants and it's doubtful that anyone could stop them, even OMN.

 

>5) I don't understand your question

5.1. I mean the planets from the beginning of The Legend Reborn. Are they canon?


Got buried.

Hi Greg,

 

My question's a bit weird, and please don't take this the wrong way, as I'm just curious.

 

If you still have the time/LEGO gives you the authority to post canon tidbits about BIONICLE on these message boards, why were the story serials never finished? I only ask because it seems a bit strange that over the course of four years, the actual story serials died, and I understand that you have other writing commitments at LEGO, but this thread has reached 437 pages. Obviously that is by no means all you, as there are thousands of posts by fans like me, too, but you're always able to give detailed and informative answers (which we're all grateful for) to pretty much ever fan question.

 

So I think my real question is actually, if you were to stop posting in this forum, even for a brief while, would that give you the time to finish the unfinished story serials? Or, now that BIONICLE has been discontinued, does LEGO simply not want you to produce new content?

 

Many thanks, and I eagerly await your answer,

 

-Ihu

Is the informant Atakus! He would be in a great position to give Velika info. And his blades are not from Bara Magna but "Alien technology." Perhaps he got them from Velika! Thanks!

The reason I asked the question, although I never really made it clear why, is because I was wondering how a moon had a moon. So instead of listing out 20 or so question, and I was in a hurry then, I asked one question 'if BotaM and AM revolved around BaraM. Then yesterday I remembered you said it and it came up in a discussion then the madness begun. Although even though they are called moons in several canon sources, they are ALSO called planets in several canon sources, which confuses things, again.

Oh, heck, if that is what you are wondering about, that's easy. According to Popular Science, it is theoretically possible for a moon to have a moon (after all, we put spacecraft in orbit around our moon). The trick would be that the moon would have to be far enough away from its parent planet to be able to retain possession of its moon. But it could certainly happen.


But I thought that only comic book physics apply in BIONICLE. Joking

2. In the World of Annona's doom, has Annona died out yet, or is she still surviving?

 

3. In Dark Destiny, page 51, Gali sees dimensions where Time and Space are meaningless, What else did she see? What would be some characteristics of those dimension with meaningless time and space?

In Power Play, page 6, Brutaka opens a portal and sends the Doom Viper in. Did this rahi end up in an AU or a location in the MU? 

 

Where specifically did it end up?

One of the AUs we know?, an unnamed one we don't?, where in the MU?


I doubt Brutaka would have sent it someplace in the MU. More than likely into a particularly lethal AU.


Would this AU be rather a pocket dimension, where physics don't really apply as the people of the core dimension know it? Did the Doom Viper survive?

Hello Greg, I was just reading through the BIONICLE books, I think it was Power Play. Let me check the page...

 

Page 67. Where it says that there was a room that looks like it was used recently. It said that two mechanisms were in the center of the room, appearantly designed to teach someone how to ride a wild animal. Appearantly, there were carvings Kongu found that showed a Tahtorak. 

 

This immediately made me think back to the 2006 Vezok commercial. In that 10 second commercial, Vezok rode a machine bull looking brown rahi, that wore a brown Kanohi Hau, and sizzled steam from the sides of its face. It had a tail, and as Vezok rode it, it began to break apart, with the commercial ending with Vezok kicking the brown Hau.

 

What Rahi was that, and was it the same mechanism that was in the Piraka Stronghold? It can't be a Tahtorak, because it was brown, and bull looking. I thought it could be designed after an Ash Bear. What do you think?

Also in the concept art for the Piraka Stronghold, on the lower-right, is shows something called a "Rodeo Pit".

Boidoh

What is the official pronounciation of Piraka?

 

I believe that the guides had PIE-rock-ah, but the ads, rap, and pretty much almost everyone says PIH-rock-ah. Which is it?
