In the BIONICLE 5 movie stuff there was a Skrall that followed Mata Nui which was nicknamed something along the lines of "bucket head". In these pictures:

You can see a Skrall hanging out alongside Mata Nui and friends. Is this the same "bucket head" character? Why is he there?

Before I ask my question, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedication to the BIONICLE story.

 

In the 2015 story, is it likely that we will be seeing more of characters such as Helryx and Artakha?

I had a question with regards to the identity of Velika's agents on Bara Magna/Bota Magna?

1. How many agents, in total, does Velika have?

2. Is Gelu one of Velika's agents?

3. Is Strakk?

4. A bit unrelated but did any being in the Matoran Universe know or find out (through mind reading or something) that Velika was a Great Being? Or did Velika shield his mind from probing?

 

Thank you,

Greetings!
The reveal of the Mask of Creation was pretty exciting to me, as my username suggests it's bearer (at least from the old BIONICLE) is one of my favorites. It reminded me of a few questions I had years ago that I'd never asked and made me think of a couple more, so here goes:

1) Does Artakha have any abilities that were not seen in story? At some point I thought could have telekinesis, but this was never seen in story and I forget why I thought of it.

2) Something I noted to be consistant with Artakha's powers is their ability to bypass most shields, would any aditional abilities also have that function?

3) The first two questions made me wonder, if he knew it was coming could a Hau user block a Matatu, or would a Matatu be able to move objects around inside of the Hau's shield? And if Artakha does have telekinesis would this be able to bypass a shield like that?

4) Had Teridax not intervened when he did in chapter 10 of Reign of Shadows, would Artakha have been powerful enough to subdue the 6 combatants had the battle continued, would he have taken a side, or would there be a third alternative where he actually managed to talk them down? If the third, just how much damage to Makuta's plans could that have caused?

5) Should the new BIONICLE line do extremely well (be it a reboot, continuation, or whatever else it may be), would it be possible that LEGO would allow you to continue the online serials and would you want to continue them? At least to a more satisfying conclusion for the older fans.

Thank you very much for any answers you give and thank you for all you did on BIONICLE. I hope you get to work some on the new story, if you have time and want to, and I hope you have a great day. *elegant bow*

Is it a large amount of pressure to keep a secret like the return of BIONICLE from people begging you constantly? I would imagine it to be hard, since you have to keep it a secret and have hundreds of people pressuring you about the leaks and stuff people discovered. Anyways, you did a good job keeping it a secret.

 

Anyways, I wanted to ask about the rest of the Toa Mangai. I know three members names where in part of the story (Lhikan, Nihdiki, and Tuyet), but have you figured out the rest of the names? Or do you intend to keep them a secret?

Also, I must ask: Did you actually come up with two names, one specifically for The Shadowed One, and one specifically for Teridax, or did the name Teridax come to mind and you wanted the BZpower members to vote on who would get the name?

Hello again, Greg. First off, congratulations to you and the LEGO team, and thank you, from our entire community. BIONICLE's finally returned as an official, current product!

 

With this great news, I have some questions about it. To begin with, are you on the team for the storyline, or are you allowed to give that information at this time? Also, when people were pestering you about the BIONICLE 2015 leaked photos, did you know about it's truth all along? Feel free to ignore this if you can't answer these.

 

Finally, what can we expect to see in the new lineup? Explosions, loud noises, more mask powers?

I would say it is highly doubtful. These are characters from a story that stopped five years ago, and that new fans would never even have heard of (since they were not even sets). It really wouldn't make sense to make your target audience for the new launch have to go back and research relatively obscure characters to figure out what is going on in the story.

No, but the old ones were way too big and contained a lot of info that was never used anywhere.

Not a question of keeping them secret. There is no longer an approved list of BIONICLE names for me to draw from, so I cannot name anything.

BZP members had nothing to do with the choice of Teridax as a name. The name came off the approved BIONICLE list, as all names did.

1) I was allowed to give input on the story after it was written, but I was not part of the team that created it.

2) Yes. I have known it was probably coming back since late last year.

3) I can't answer this
