Hey Greg:

 

1) Do the Glatorian who were granted elemental powers have limited elemental reserves like the Toa? Also, are they able to manipulate their elements as well as a Toa would? 


1) Not sure about reserves, but no, they do not have anywhere near the experience Toa have at using elemental powers.


So, would they be able to manipulate their elements, given enough training and experience? Glatorian are able to live for many hundreds of thousands of years, would that be enough time?

And a few questions about the Great Beings - I hope you can answer some of them. :-)

1. Where have the Great Beings been hiding for the past 100,000 years?

2. Why are the Great Beings hiding?

3. At the end of "Reign of Shadows", Angonce stated that those who are looking for the Great Beings will only find their death. What did he mean? Are the Great Beings so intent on hiding that they will even kill those who are trying to find them?

4. Can you tell us something about Marendar? Where was he when the old story was cancelled? Had he already started killing Toa?

 First of all, I must say that it is absolutely incredible to be able to talk to you, Greg! Smile

 

 So, I don't know if this was asked before, but do you have an idea of how long Teridax's reign lasted? I'm writing a story that is set during this time, so this information is quite important. Also, are ghosts possible in the Matoran universe? For example, can something happen during the teleportation process of a deceased being causing it to not be completely teleported and instead remain partially trapped inside the Great Spirit Robot ( sorry if this doesn't make sense)?

 

 Thank you in advance.

Hey Greg, if the Kestora aren't prototypes and the Matoran aren't based on them, then could it be the other way around, with the Kestora being based off of the Matoran? A connection between the two seems to make sense, given their overall similarities.

If a Matoran Universe being die while outside the Robot(Let's say for example, in Spherus Magna) while mantaining the required status to be revived, will he still be revived at the Red Star ?

I have a few questions to ask about Atakus and Velika, if you don't mind.

 

1. How and when did Atakus come to work for Velika?

2. What's the full story with Atakus' blades? Did Atakus find them, or did someone else find them and later give them to Atakus? Were they found in a baterra weapons cache (as the Skrall believed), or a Great Being cache, or something else? Did Velika plant them there, did he know about them, or did he only hear about them when Atakus reported them? 

3. Does Velika have any special plans for the Skrall? Does he see them as potential allies or enemies?

4. The baterra were never shut off by their failsafe, but after the Shattering, a period of 100,000 years passed in which they did not appear to do anything of note. Is Velika perhaps the reason that they suddenly wiped out the Skrall's northern empire? Were they serving his ends?

I think that I may have already read the answer to that, and think it was no. The example used was Reysa, I think. A good question though.

Hey Greg, just out of curiousity, why are you so reluctant to canonize detials about MU anatomy?

 

Also, how do I make it so that when I reply to a comment, the comment shows up in a quote box above my reply?

Hey Greg, we know from the Yesterday Quest that some of the Agori already distrust the Toa and Matoran. Is this the result of technophobia from having to live with a machine race, differences between their cultures, or both?

Hello Mr. Farshtey, there has been a few things about Brutaka I can't find information on so I thought to ask you.

 

1. When the Antidermis attacked Brutaka's Olmak and "destroyed" it, did that mean that it shattered his mask beyond the point of wearing it, or was it just damaged enough that he couldn't use it anymore?

 

1A. If the mask is broken beyond wearing it, did Brutaka live the rest of his life without a mask?

 

2. After Mata Nui defeated Makuta and turned everything back to normal with the rest of his power, did that reverse the effects that the Antidermis took on Brutaka that made him understand the history of the Makuta and the Shattering?


Got buried.


Double buried! D:

 

I also have one other question.

 

3. When Vezon had the Olmak fused to his head, did it actually look like the Olmak fused on his face, or did his normal face get the powers of the mask?

Hey Greg,

 

After a Toa completes his/her destiny, is he/she allowed to choose WHEN they want to become a Turaga? For example, say a Toa completed his destiny a thousand years ago. After those thousand years, would he still be able to become a Turaga if he wanted to? Or is there a certain 'time limit?'

 

Thanks

Dear GregF,

 

I generally am not one for posting much, I prefer lurking and reading what others say. I had somewhat noted that you were getting a lot of backlash from fans and to be honest I didn't really think about how that must feel. However, I just listened to episode 119 of the TTV Podcast and I thought I should comment. I would like to thank you for all the arduous work you put into what I believe to be one of the coolest universes out there to play around in. I spent the entire run of Bionicle keeping up on the story and getting the sets when I could. I will not go into detail, but my childhood was not the best (nor could I rightly say it was the worst) and when I needed to escape into my own little world it was more often than not Bionicle that I retreated into. I love to Moc and I always make bios and backstories for the characters I build, and because I so enjoyed the world you wrote about it was always in that world I would make them. I come up with ways that my characters could fit into that world without their story interferring with the one you wrote. And there were times those characters and the ones you made seemed to be my best friends. While I respect and understand those who say the plot got conveluted, I loved it anyway and I enjoy the little tidbits you can canonize now. I just want you to know that there are those out there who enjoy the work you did and whose lives it has affected in a positive way. If you have an hour or so sometime, I would suggest listening to the TTV episode mentioned previously, I think you might find it encouraging and more than a bit amusing. I did. I also think it'd be really cool if you were to do another interview with 'em. Anyway, this concludes my far longer than usual post. Thank you. Thank you very much for helping make what is in my honest opinion the greatest LEGO line in history become what it was and for continuing to show an interest in what I know can at times be an irksome comunity

 

Sincerely, Artakhafan Wink

Dear Greg, in ttv podcast 119, they had seen my earlier comment, you proably don't remember it, but they said in 59:55 of the podcast my question and how they would want to interview you. Just throwing that out there. Thanks and reply if you can.

unfortunately i had to cut the original a little short in order to reply to it, but this one hit home with me. Bionicle pretty much is the definition of my childhood, and i think it says something about the quality of the storyline that it's still something that holds my interest as an adult. it means a lot to me that you're still willing to talk about Gen1, Greg, & furthermore, actually interact with the fans. Not too many other people behind an awesome work of fiction do that like you do, so thank you for that and all your hard work over the years!
