Hi Greg!

Well, I was just wondering, do you think that if the chronicler's company would band together again, would Kopeke, as he is the chronicler, be their "leader"?

If what you said about their being less then 20 Great Beings is true, then I would imagine that they are endangered. Safe to assume?

Endangered by who? By what? A professional baseball team normally has 25 players, does that mean the team is endangered?

---

I think he ment the GB as a species.

Perhaps they're just so hard to kill, that they don't consider 20 as "endangered" But i think Greg is trying to say that the great being are an organisation, not a species.

To further explain, if we coined the term Kanohi Korusca this would further separate the 2001-2010 BIONICLE universe from the 2015 one since the words 'Mask of Creation' are associated with the newer universe. By naming it, we would be, in a sense, losing a connection with the new version of the mask and allowing the 2015 BIONICLE story team the freedom to keep the two separate.

---

Here are the problems:

 

1) I have no  idea if they are going to establish them as the same mask or not, in which case naming it ourselves would be a bad idea

2) I have no idea why Korusca was dropped - there may have been legal issues with it that I do not recall/know about

 

I kind of feel too like this would be canonization for the sake of it. The story is not suffering any because this mask is not named

Very great points; we don't know the other half of the story as to why the name is in legal limbo, and I have a feeling that the new story team will end up naming it. Also true, I can see that this could fall under the category of canonization just for the sake of it.

I do have a question regarding Artakha, however.  When you were writing Reign of Shadows why did you choose for Artakha to come into the story then? He'd always remained isolated. (He is an awesome character, by the way.)

2 things

1. Why did you "reconnect" the old BIONICLE story part about the bohrok from "va" matoran?

2.Is there going to be any papercutz Ninjago graphic novel for 2015?  If so, will you please make the books part of the story which is the episodes?

Got it. Do you know who else I could ask said questions to?

People have had opinions over whether they prefered Bionicle before or after the climax in '03. There's one part I'm really curious about though, seeing as you apparently enjoyed writing Teridax the most.

Did you prefer writing his character in 01-03 as a mysterious, ambiguous entity, or did you find him more interesting aftewards, when he was gradually being revealed more and more.

Generally, did you prefer him when he was Sauron, or when he was Voldemort?

Hello, I have a few questions about Makuta.

 

1. When approximately did Makuta shun their inner light?

2. What were their powers like before this? Specifically, did they have elemental Shadow powers?

 

3. What were Makuta like, personality-wise, before this? Were they still evil, or at least jerky?

 

4. Why didn't Makuta Teridax just crush all rebellion after he took over the robot? Did he think it was amusing to let the rebels try?

 

5. Is it possible that Teridax created the main Infected Rahi (Nui-Rama, Nui-Jaga, Tarakava, Muaka, Kane-Ra, and Manas)?

 

6. Do Makuta usually start from scratch when creating Rahi, or do they often modify pre-existing Rahi (or use pre-existing Rahi as basis) for new Rahi, like Sand Tarakava, Tarakava Nui, and Rahi Nui?

 

7. Unrelated: a cutscene from the cancelled Legend of Mata Nui PC game shows Akamai and Wairuha battling a Mana-Ko. Did this actually happen in the canon story? It's not referenced anywhere else, so I'm assuming it didn't.

---

I think these got buried.

Also, another question. A couple years ago, there was an official S&T Contest called A Thousand Years Untold 2. It was the follow-up to a previos contest called A Thousand years untold, which users submitted short stories about Mata Nui, Metru Nui, and Voya Nui during the thousand years after the Great Cataclysm. The winners were canonized. THis contest deals with other islands which were not revealed at that point (eg. Mahri Nui, Stelt, Karda Nui). Should the winners of the second contest be considered canon, as the contest was intended? The contest description says that was the case.

If the Hewkii-Macku relationship is no longer canon, would that mean that the Jaller-Hahli relationship in the Bohrok animations and the Mask of Light are also non-canon? 

Hi there Greg Farshtey!

Sorry about the two different posts, but I thought of some other questions:

1) We know that the Red Star scans the Matoran Universe for dead sapient species such as Matoran/Toa/Turaga, Skakdi, Vortixx, Steltians, etc., but does not scan for any Rahi because of a potential influx of one species.

      a)  Are intelligent Rahi considered in this rule; so no Krahka, Keetongu, and Tahtorak?

      b)  Would it still scan for Makuta even though they'd have no body for the Red Star to work with?

      c)  Could it scan for Kestora if they were teleported into the Matoran Universe?

      d)  Does it pick up that something is different about Velika? Does the star know he is a Great Being based on his                mehcanics/coding?

2) When exactly did Mata Nui fall asleep, right as Makuta cast the Great Shadow as he looked atop the Collesium? Or did he release the virus before and its effects only happened at that moment?

3)  I never could follow the intricacy of Makuta's plan. It didn't feel like it followed a linear path to me. How was his trapping the Matoran on Mata Nui, his wanting to speed up time for the encapsulated Matoran so they'd wake up and hail him as their hero, and his having Matoro bring the Great Spirit back to life with the Ignika all connected?
