Dear Mr. Farshtey,

 

Does the Kaukau (and the Kaukau Nuva) let the user only breathe water and not air (for a temporary amount of time)? Or does it make the user amphibious, (able to breathe air and water), at least for a temporary amount of time?

 

Thank you,

You can breathe air when the water-breathing power is not active.

Yes, the same way a Toa of Stone can make rock or a Toa of Fire can make fire. And they are powerful, which is why you have seen so few, since the Makuta were wiping them out.

But couldn't they fight back? As well as Gravity and Magnetism Toa?

 

 

Oh also, wouldn't Gravity Toa also have been targetted? Oh and one more thing, would the Brotherhood potentially recruit enemies of them, instead of slaying them?


1) Of course they could fight back, but an individual Toa is always going to have a hard time dealing with a Makuta. Plus, Makuta do not fight fair.

2) Well, we haven't seen many Gravity Toa in the story, right?

 

3) I tend to doubt it. That is a very risky thing to do, even for human intelligence services, because you never know if you can trust who you are recruiting.

hi greg just a few questions:

1)if the toa mahri dream is to have Matoro back with them could the fusion golden being that is with the Skakdi make the toa mahri dreams true?


1) Good question. I don't think it would be the "real" Matoro, if it did. It would be a construct from their memories of him, not the real being ... it would be fake.


But if they (the Toa Mahri) simply wish that Matoro "come back to life as he ever was before his death", that wouldn't automatically bring back the "real" Matoro, an exact copy of himself before his death (so... Matoro)?

Less than 100.

Hey Greg, just a question that's always confused me about Destiny War, the serial you wrote:

 

In Chapter 5, you wrote about Pridak conquering some Brotherhood of Makuta stronghold. He found some old basement with a mess of strange symbols lying around, like a smashed message. Pridak tries to rebuild the message... and the serial left off. I never understood:

 

Who wrote the message, what is it, and who smashed it? Does Pridak succeed in learning what it is?

You don't have to answer this one.

Also It would be nearly impossible for a toa to acually defeat a makuta without killing him or her, thus breaking the toa code, after all the only toa of iron we know to have survived the makuta's attacks, Zaria, had to kill them in order to  survive, of course tha makuta would have faced no such problems with any of the toa who would rather die than break the code...

1a yep (almost definitely, scince all the charachters mentioned have a regular timeline counterpart)

1b matoran (But toa sized)

2 not by any normal means though a more powerful being would be able to transform them, more than likely

3 --i have heard it is the toa nuva, but that is for him to answer--

4 armor though they can be possesed or animated into what is essentally a robot

5 no, when combining disks you just gen new powers, not combinations of them, a mask made of too many disks would eventually become too unstable to wear (I believe) and combined powers are generally found, not made anyway.

6 I believe they where placed on the elemental suva shrines in temples around the island, the fire one bieng desrtoyed early on by rahkshi and the rest either taken to metru nui or obliterated when the full fury of the bohrok was unleashed on the island

Hello again!

 

Just one question this time: when on Mata Nui, we saw the Ko-Matoran use tools made out of solid Ice to complete various tasks that would easily break them in real life.  Why didn't they here?


This seems to have become buried.


In addition, do Toa of Sonics have the ability to move at the speed of Sound, just as Toa of Light can use lightspeed travel?  Can Toa of Light (and possibly Toa of Sonics) apply this to other things?


And again.  Or are you just pondering?

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


1) The Turaga decided if it would be used or not.

2) Because that was not Mata Nui's job.

3) Yes and yes


The machine to build the Matoran was it just to build the mechanical parts? If so what about the biological portions of their bodies, were they grown and put into the mechanical shells?


I think it got buried.

Hey Greg, can you confirm or deny any of these assumptions with reguards to the Pit Mutagen?

 

  1. The reason the Vorox inexplicably degraded to beasts within only 0-2 generations or so was due to a form of the mutagen from the Prototype Robot. While much weaker, constant exposure caused them to slowly degrade. This would go hand in hand with theory #2: 
  2. The mutagen is meant to give the target an adaptive ability when in harm, or to "heal" them somehow, but mutates the target to do so, and like pretty much everything else made by the Great Beings, it ended up breaking. When encountered underwater, most targets are threatened by drowning. So, to adapt them, they gain a monstrous form, similar to a sea creature. The Matoran of Voya Nui were damaged by Karzani, so their bodies were strengthened. The Vorox could be seen as having an insufficient supply of food and water, so the Mutagen would have reduced their biological needs, but end up causing brain damage in the process. It could also be reasoned then when it comes to Makuta, the mutagen just fails to come up with with any explanation, and starts slowly morphing them and beggining to devolve them into insectoid forms similar the the rahi life around them, starting with their powers.

1. True dat brutha Joking

2. Fair enough

3. But, if they used a Rode, would it be possible? Also that's because Rode's don't exist irl

oh and a new set of questions

4. Is the Rode Rare?

5. Is it possible for more Avohkii's and Kraahkan's?

6. Would it be possible for a Toa to be turned into a Makuta?

and lastly

7. Would it be possible for a Makuta to have another element besides Shadow and Light

in the toa nuva blog lewa gives the number 202 (if the phrase "two down two hundred to go" is taken literally that is.
