The RS normally is attached to Mata Nui or orbiting whatever planet MN is on.The teleportation effect does have a range of about 35,000 miles.

 

He was not traveling between star systems, he was traveling to planets within the Solis Magna system.


any reason you picked that specific number?


Went back and checked and that number is actually in error. It should be 22,300 miles, which puts it in a geostationary orbit around Aqua Magna.

So, you know how Tahu has some Kraata powers because of the Golden Armor? Since Krika, Bitil, and Gorast lost some of theirs when they were exposed to Pit Mutagen, would the same happen to him?

(This question is puerly hypothetical, since Mata Nui cured all that were infected with the Mutagen). 


He could lose the powers just by taking the armor off.


so the armor isn't part of his mechanics? and given that he'd loose the power with its removal, does that mean it functions like a mask power?


No, it's not. He put the golden armor on, so he could take it off too. As far as being like a mask power, you could say that, or you could say it's like a storage battery for the powers.

You once told that you wanted to name Comic 7 of the Ignition Series called "Mask of Life, Mask of Doom" to "Mask of Life,Mask of Death" instead of Doom. Why was it not allowed if there's "Death of a Hero" or "The Death of Mata Nui"?



Because standards change over time. The first actual physical fight in a comic didn't happen until 2006, I think. Prior to that, I was never allowed to show that.


but i remember plenty of fights in the comics before that... the toa battling the bohrok, the bohrok-kal zapping the nuva, not to mention the rahkhsi, just to give a few examples.


As was stated by a later poster, all of those fights involved indirect combat. That was all I was allowed to do. I could freeze someone in ice, or surround them in a ring of fire, or blow them away with a strong wind ... I could not have someone go up and sock another character on the jaw.

2)are we gonna see someday what happens in the red star?

3)are turaga able to live forever?

4)does lhikan retains his memories when he was revived on the red star?

5)is turaga jovan and lhikan working together to survive in the red star?

thanks and i´ll be happy if you can answer my questions bye.


1) Unknown

2) Doubtful, since it is unlikely I will be allowed to finish the serials

3) No

4) The minds of beings revived on the red star seem to be very fuzzy, at least at first, but Lhikan has been there for some time now.

5) Unknown.

I know your not directly in charge of the BIONICLE reboot's storyline, but if this reboot takes place in a new universe, would it be possible to use a Kanohi Olmak to transport into it. (So we may get a new Vezon)

I was never in charge of old BIONICLE either .. but at any rate, I have nothing at all to do with new BIONICLE so I cannot answer any questions about it. Questions on new BIONICLE should be posted in the LMB BIONICLE forum.

Wow, that's interesting! But I'm wondering why you specifically said "Aqua Magna". It would make sense that the Red Star would always be in a geostationary orbit right above the MN robot. But depending on the planet, that would be sometimes more, sometimes less than 22,300 miles from the planet's surface. So was the Red Star always in an orbit 22,300 miles from the planet's surface, and that just happened to be a geostationary orbit on Aqua Magna?

Hey Greg, I hope you're doing well. Today I have a couple questions about the Elite Vahki (the Kranua and the Kraahu). 

 

1) Around how many were there on Metru Nui in relation to the standard Vahki? BS01 lists there as being around 5000 standard Vahki at the time of the Toa Metru, but no number exists for the Elites.

2) While normal Vahki were in the Vahki Hives, the translucent part of their heads were hooked up to recharge cables, which is where they drew their power from. However, both types of the Elites were too big to fit in the cells of the hive, so where were they stored when inactive?

3)  The Kraahu had the same translucent head-battery as the standard Vahki, so is it safe to assume that they were recharged in the same way, but in a different place?

4) The Kranua did not have the head-battery, so how did it recharge?

 

Thanks for your time Smile

Hi Greg, how are you? It´s been some time the last time I´ve asked you something, I think it was 2010 or 2011 back in BZpower. I have a question for you, since I started reading the books of BIONICLE again, (btw, they´re really great, especially the Bionicle Legends series written by you).

 

Why does Lewa use Tree/Chutespeak? He didn´t speak it back when he was awoken the first time on Daxia or before he got in his Toa Canister, but he spoke it before he found Le-Koro, the first place he´s been where people speak it. Did he learn it while he was in his Canister (which is highly unlikely IMO, just doesn´t seem necessary to me). 

 

I mean, back in the first years of BIONICLE, it made sense since he belonged to the element of Air, and everyone else spoke it, but now that the Toa Mata´s past have been revealed, it seems like a logic hole to me. Am I just overthinking it too much?

I have question about the Kanohi Kraahkan and the Kanohi Avohkii.

 

- Could another Kraahkan and Avohkii be made?
- If yes to the Avohkii, was the Kanohi Avohkii made from Protosteel as well or some other form of Protodermis?
- If yes to both Kanohi mask, could the two mask be made into the Kanohi Mask of Light and Shadow again by the Energized Protodermis, so another could wield this mask?
- Dose Toa feel that the Kanohi Kraahkan power are immoral?
- Did the enslaved Matoran who made the Kraahkan, lived in Metru Nui or Artakha and what happened to this Matoran?


1) I would say no. Masks are made from heating and cooling liquid protodermis. The Matoran do not have access to liquid protodermis on Spherus Magna and won't in the foreseeable future.

2) No

 

3) Only if the masks were destined to be transformed, otherwise they would just be destroyed

 

4) Yes

 

5) I don't have this information.


But what is whit the oceans of liquid protodermis inside the great spirit robot?

You have reveled the Kanoka recipies for creating some of the many Kanohi. (19 of them I belive). Do you have recipies for any of the other masks?

Hello, and thanks for you time!

I was wondering if that trans-orange Kraata that came with those Rahkshi shoes back in the day had any special powers?

Hello Mr. Farshtey. What did you think when you were told the plans of Bionicle's return? Were you happy? Or did you have no emotion about it? Also, when did you find out about the plans?

 

Sincerely,
