Have you written something else for LEGO?

Hello Mr Farshtey,

 

I had a few questions, regarding a tabletop roleplay I'm writing:

 

1) Can Vortixx use Kanohi? And if they can, how would they be attached to their heads? Like a hat possibly, or would they need custom made ones to fit their heads.

1.a) Did Roodaka get captured again over time?

2) Did the other "prisoners" in the Fortress on Bota Magna escape as well? Especially Hafu and Kapura?

3) Can the Red Star be fixed, AT ALL?

4) What would New Atero have looked like? Split between Agori, Glatorian and the Matoran Race (including Toa and Turaga), or is everyone mixed? Divided in sections like Metru-Nui?

 

Kind Regards, Laura


Got snowed under, I'm sorry.

Hey Greg, will the new Bionicle story be pure fantasy, or will it be science-fantasy like the old storyline?

Thanks for your response! Hey, does this mean Karda Nui Matoran have "negative masks" before transforming, or did their masks become negative during the transformation?

Are you still allowed to add stuff to old canon now, like through LMB, since BIONICLE is returning?

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:

Mata Nui Saga, Chapters 2 and 7

 

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


I have only a vague memory of this.


You mean the BIONICLE 5 script?


BIONICLE 5? BIONICLE 5 never had a script. We  hadn't even gotten a story direction approved yet when the line got cancelled.


I meant screen treatment.


No screen treatment for BIONICLE 5 existed either. We were literally having our first meeting to discuss possible story for 2010 when we were told the line was being cancelled. So all that ever existed for this was random ideas in my head, none of which ever got reviewed or approved by the story team. Thus they are largely meaningless.


But you  posted it on BZPower in like 2009. That is how we found out about the Earth Tribe. A quick google search of 'BIONICLE 5 Screen Treatment' will bring up your blog post...


That wasn't an official screen treatment, though. As I said, that was my ideas. I never got commissioned to write a screen treatment for that movie (though I probably would have been, if the movie had been made) and none of that ever got reviewed and approved by the story team.


Then how did the Earth Tribe become canon?


Because someone asked me about some time after BIONICLE ended, and at that point there was no one besides me paying any attention to the old universe.


So how come you said you can't add anything else to the canon universe? Thinking

Mr. Farshtey,

 

I'm sure you've been asked this before but who are your top five favourite BIONICLE characters?

 

Thanks, sorry if you've already answered this before.


I think this got buried.

Do you have a favorite BIO quote? I'm having troubles deciding what mine should be

If you look over the script, PLEASE remind them that LEWA IS A TOA OF AIR NOT A TOA OF JUNGLE.

Hi Mr. Farshtey, I'm a huge fan of Bionicle and I loved your writing for the series. I have a few questions.

  

1. Are Agori and Glatorian the same/related species or completly seperate? Like, are the Glatorian maybe a warrior class of Agori, or perhaps there is a recessive "Glatorian Gene" to explain why they are more rare?

 

3. About how much elemntal power do Turaga have? I have a head cannon that they can't control their element, but they still have a connection to it and can sense disturbances in it, and I was wondering if this was close to accurate?

 

3. In the Mutran Chronicles, Pridak said that he and the other Barraki were Mata Nui's choosen rulers. Did Mata Nui actually entrust them with that reponsibility or was this simply how they justified themselves, kind of like how real world rulers justify themselves by saying they are backed by God.?

 

4.What is your favorite thing about Bionicle? Mine is the amazing lore and how the mythology blends so perfectly with the sci-fi aspects.

 

5. Kinda similar to the previous one, but what would be your favorite moment from the original Bionicle story?

 

5. Does LEGO take other things into consideration when discussing the success of a franchise besides set sales, like for instance book and movie sales?

 

Thank you so much for doing this chat, it means so much to me and a lot of other fans.

Mr. Farshtey,

 

You recently said that the Mahri couldn't have worn normal masks during the 2007 story because they masks and tubes were what allowed them to breathe water. My question is this: After Matoro made the others amphibious, would they need the tubes to breathe air? If not, would they be able to wear normal masks while on land?

 

Thanks!

What? If I get Lewa, I'm taking a black marker and changing jungle on the bag/box/canister to air

Hey Greg, do any varieties of Visorak other than those already mentioned in the story exist?
