If there was, I didn't write it or ever hear of it. It sounds like something DK would have published and I can't recall DK doing any BIONICLE books back then.


Ok.

 

What is the red star?


The red star is a satellite that orbits whatever planet Mata Nui is on. Its purpose is to retrieve nanotech that ceases to function, download its AI into a new body, and send it back into the robot.

This is something that has been bugging me for a while: when Kopaka, Lewa and Pohatu went down into the Swamp of Secrets, why didn't their Adaptive Armour shift form?  Similarly, did Tahu, Gali and Onua's Adaptive Armour have a different form when they were in the skies of Karda Nui?

 

Also, did Kopaka or Lewa lead the Phantoka Nuva?  Kopaka was second-in-command, but Lewa was quite literally in his Element and was always shown most prominently in the promotions.

 

P.S. My previous question about Sonics is still pending.  I can understand if you need more time to ponder.


1) The answer is they didn't change form because we had to work with the sets we had. The artist could not create new armor forms for them.

2) There was never anything in the story bible that said Lewa was the leader.

3) Just posted an answer to your sonics question Smile

Hey, Greg. How did you get the idea for the fourth season of Ninjago?


I don't come up with the plots for the Ninjago TV seasons, NK, I am not on the story team.

Because the Red Star was supposed to bring back any Matoran that died, would that mean that there was no reason to have a machine to make more?


No. If you have, let's say, 100 Matoran and 10 die, and the RS brings them back, you have 100 again. But if you need 150 for a job, the RS can't help with that. You are going to need to make 50 more.

Greg,

I heard that Bohrok are actually matoran from the Red Star, is this true?


Not true. Bohrok are Av-Matoran.

Hey greg. Few questions.

1. Does the Makuta power of Accuracy become useless if the target can move and thus dodge?

2. How does Lava Control/Creation come into play in the MU?

3. Could Gravity manipulate an Explosion?

4. Could you describe BIONICLE physics?


1) That depends on whose skill is greater, the Makuta or his target

2) Off the top of my head, I don't recall us having a character who controlled lava

3) In what way?

4) Nope.

Hi Greg!

 

This is something that I never really understood: Where did Vakama's visions come from? Well, I know that he had visions because his AI was glitched, so I should rather ask: Where did the information he saw in those visions come from? Was it all just in his mind, so did he just dream it up by himself, or was he actually "connected" somehow to Mata Nui's AI and/or other people's AIs and could receive messages/information from them?


Hi Greg, I think this got buried.


They were never explained in story bible.

Hello!

 

Just one question: would a Toa of Sonics be able to use their control over the vibration of atoms to heat things up?


This has become buried.


And buried again.


And yet again!



Not buried, just pondering the answer.

 


Sound can indeed produce heat. But the amount of sound required to produce a noticeable increase in temperature is huge. A Toa of Sonics trying to produce substantial heat would have to use such a loud noise it would probably destroy the hearing of anyone around.


Thank you!

 

Part of the reason that I ask is that the technique of a Sonics Toa using his powers to produce heat is common in the older Bionicle Roleplay.  I suppose that I'll go and inform them of this.

2. I suppose that Prototype could.  He controlled Fire and Earth, so would probably be able to at least create lava.

1)You said there's a machine that makes Matoran. In this case, who operates it ? 

2)Why would they need it if Mata Nui could just make new Matoran ?

3)Is "Matoran-making" a common thing ? Do other Matoran know about this ?

Your name is listed in the credits for the finale of the BIONICLE 2015 animated shorts. How did you contribute to BIONICLE 2015?

Okay.

 

Was it ever defined when exactly the Red Star went offline?

1. Both are Makuta perhaps however

2. Well there are not to be rude. But wouldn't Elemental Stone or Elemental Earth as well as Elemental Fire create Lava?

3. Like move it to a different plac

4. Alrighty.

Hi Greg,

 

Three Questions:

1. What made the story team decide it would be Matoro who sacrificed himself?

2. Could a non-Toa but on the mask of life and restart Mata Nui's heart?

3. Axonn had the ability to cure Gali Nuva's madness. Is there a limit on this ability,meaning someone too crazy for him to help?

Thank you as always.

That was unexpected for MESurprised!  Was there any story of how MATORO came back to life?
