Say Greg, here are some questions: What is the limited edition set 'Toa Mata Nui's influence on the story line? (Or is the set not canon at all) Do the old Bionicle sets actually have hands in you books? Could Irnak, Annona, the Olmak or the mask of Possibilities make it possible to create a Toa of Acid? (I hope that last question is not spamming, if it is, please ignore it...)


1) I don't recall the set.

2) They don't have hands like we do, but what they have, they call hands.

3) It's not impossible, but at least officially there can't be one because LEGO wouldn't approve it

When you wrote the stories where did you get your inspiration? Did it just come to you? Or did you have to look for it? Sometimes it comes in the most unexpected places. Wink

It's really hard to identify where your inspiration comes from. I think if you do this long enough, you just start to think  in story ideas.


Cool! Happy I'm trying to write a story, and I have so many cool ideas but I don't know how to put them into action. Joking

Thanks for answering my questions, but I now have one more question: That interview you did with Biosector01 on April 1st wasn't official/canon right? So TSO's (planned) name is not Krakalin? Was that even you answering the questions or was it all just one well-prepare April fools joke?

You do not know how much i wanted to talk to you Greg!!!

Is Keetongu considered a dark hunter???

i have all of your bionicles!! (my favorite is naparu "Iknaka")

But sadly i don't have the ultra mask of darkness Makuta

No, Keetongu is not a Dark Hunter.


You may be led to believe that Keetongu is a Dark Hunter due to the cover of the book "Dark Hunters", which explicitly shows Keetongu in the cover. This was an error on Scholastic's part. Greg Farshtey later retconned this in one of the stories which I forgot where the shapeshifting Dark Hunter Triglax morphed into Keetongu.

1. If you had a chance, what would you change in Bionicle story. Which fact, character or event would you remove?

2. I remember I have watched an interview included in Bionicle: Legends of Metru Nui - Movie in which you said (that you like Kopaka Wink) that you don't like Vahki. Why?

3. Which writers do you admire? I know that you like Lovercraft novels but nothing more.

4. Who created Kraana masks for Bohroks? Why did they have them? They were supposed to control the people and made removal to Metru Nui easier?

5. What was the name of Lhikan team?

6. Is there on Spherus Magna a Zesk or a Vorox who can speak? Any intelligent ones of them?

7. I'm not sure about that one. Mahri Nui is under Voya Nui and Karda Nui is under Mahri Nui? If it is so, why Karda Nui is not all in water? I know there were swamps but... that's not too logical. I think I missed a fact.

8 And the last one because I don't want to make you bored with my long post Wink What Kanohi mask would you use if you had a chance?

 

 


1) Vakama would  not have turned bad in 2005. I never liked that.
2) Because they had no personality, so they were boring to write about

3) Jeffery Deaver, Rex Stout, Ambrose Bierce, Mark Waid

4) The Bahrag made the kraana, as I recall

5) I don't recall offhand

6) Not to my knowledge, no

7) Mahri Nui was completely outside of the body - it was a settlement built underwater by Matoran who fell off Voya Nui. Voya Nui was originally part of the body, part of the roof of Karda Nui

8) Not sure

 


Greg Farshtey, I think you mentioned somewhere that you found Matau turning evil in 2005 rather than Vakama was much more plausible, correct?

 

Oh, I can answer number 5; They're the Toa Mangai. Note that this is the team that took down the Kanohi Dragon, and not the large amount of Toa at the end of the Toa/Dark Hunters war.

ok i have some questions, i dont mind if you not respond them its just some questions of a random fan: 

 

1) why the skadki know how to create the golden being? and the toa mahri will confront the toa nuva in the future?

2) now that bioniclestory.com and the bionicle main site are offline, do you will continue with the storys and podcast in other page or blog?

3) (this one is important) what happen to lewa? did the villagers eat him or what make him a kind of king?

4) i read another person question and i ask now. If bionicle returns but with another story... it will be a reboot or another world?

and the last one...

i know that you were busy to write some storys and they are cool (because i cant belive i like ninjago even with that season finale "takanuva vs makuta" style) but... Do you will continue writting bionicle stuff or not?


1) Hasn't been revealed,and there are no future plans for BIONICLE story at this point, due to the cancellation of the line.

2) I have no plans to do so at this point

 

3) I did not plan my stories ahead, I wrote them as I went, so what exactly happened to him I had not planned out yet. But he certainly was not eaten, LEGO would never allow something like that!

 

4) No way to know. If it came back, I have no idea who would be on the story team or what the company would want to do.

 

5) Right now, no one at LEGO Company is asking me to write BIONICLE - they want me to focus on current lines like Ninjago and Chima.


I believe you said in a BioSector01 Interview that the villagers were amazed by Lewa, but not to the point of giving him kinghood. You even made a real-life comparison I don't remember...

Thanks for the answers, here are some other questions: 1. If Lariska dies, will she get a new arm on the Red Star? 2. Are Von Nebula's squad and the Droid the only robots in the Hero Factory universe to us the Bionicle-styled build? 3. Why do you dislike the Vahki so much because they have no personallity, while the Bohrok and Rahkshi neither have any? 4. How did Takua became a Toa by wearing the Kanohi Avohkii? (It would be awesome if the mask contained fragments of a Toa Stone.) 5. What would you feel like if Kopaka was a Vahki? 6. An Av-Matoran becomes a Bohrok when it dies, why isnt it just sent to the Red Star?

By the way, 8998 Toa Mata Nui was the last titan set released, and was the only way to get the golden Ignika and Glatorian Mata Nui's sword. (I wasn't able to get the set, and I'm still crying about it every day...)
