Hi Greg!
No. Even if I had the inclination, I don't have the time.
Okay, hear me out for this. BIONICLE's storyline will never be finished; let's be realistic here. It is something that is truly heartbreaking for the fans. With that being said, say BZPower created a contest where applicants wrote in informal chapters of The Yesterday Quest and The Powers That Be. The community then decided what entry we liked the most. Say we continued doing this for a number of chapters per serial.
If we were to hypothetically ask for your approval for these to be canon then that would be breaking legal rules. Would you be willing to say that these chapters BZPower members wrote up and created were the most likely events to happen? This way, these could never be official and LEGO as a company could not get into trouble, nor could you; we would just be reasoning out the possibility of endings to the story that could arise. This would mean the world to a numerous fans out there. It would also allow the fans to truly connect back with the BIONICLE lore and bring it to a close. I understand that you will have reservations on this, but from one BIONICLE lover to another, would you be able to give us your blessing to create the "most likely scenario that would happen"?
I understand your reasoning, but you have to understand: I can't do something like this unless LEGO gives permission. I can't encourage the creation of "new" old story when the company is trying to keep people focused on the characters and new story of G2. I asked last year about finishing off the old story in some venue and there was no interest, more than likely because it would be confusing for new fans and distract from the new launch.

No, just busy. And no plans were ever made for coloration, since we already knew they would never be sets.
So does that mean all the other Matoran types, Toa of various elements and other things were planned to be sets?
I don't believe that every Matoran type and Toa type has an official coloration if they did not appear as sets. Those that do were often the result of fan suggestions. You are the first person to ask about the coloration of the Earth tribe on Spherus Magna, so no one has made any suggestions for their coloration and I have had no reason to come up with one.

1) Not that we have seen, no.
2) No. Ninjago does not go into that kind of depth with powers. If you start having them do stuff like that, then you have to take the time to explain what they are doing and how, and there is no time in the TV series to do that.

Oh alright.
Hey new question: I'm making an alternate universe, and i'd like to know what you think of the summary
In this universe, Teridax managed to secretly hide all Makuta, and, before he went to Bara Magna to fight against Mata Nui, he fixed the Red Star. During the epic battle, a rogue Kestora teamed up with a rogue Great Being and they enacted a plan to dominate the universe. An ancient creature awoke and sensed the plot. This creature, later revealed to be called Kiagbfgacj(also known as Kabija), gathered a rag-tag team of warriors which hunted down the duo. But then new threats emerge.
Hello Greg. A few things I was wondering:
1) what was the point of Antidermis? Was it ever elaborated why the Great Beings created it? Did they know Mata Nui was going to create the Makuta? Were they around for the Makuta's creation or had Mata Nui already departed Spherus Magna by then?
1.5) what motivated the Great Beings to create the plans for the Golden Armor? Did they know that the Antidermis was sentient and could potentially rebel?
2) How intelligent were the Matoran and other beings prior to Velika's Awakening of them? They seemed intelligent enough to sufficiently pass as sapient, so what exactly was changed? Or were Helryx, the Toa Mata, Hydraxon, and the other beings seen in Legends #10 exceptions with most of the inhabitants of the MU being drones?
3) How many MU species were created prior to Mata Nui's departure of Spherus Magna? Would the Great Beings have known about Skakdi, Vortixx, Makuta, etc.?
And this is what happens when I read too much into gen. 1 history 
1: What is Vezon's importance in the storyline?
2: What was Artakha made to do?
3: Metru Nui is supposed to be the "brain" of Mata Nui, so how come during the Great Cataclysm, it sticks out of the ocean (or at least, its cloaking device)?

Yes
How, and was it ever shown in the comics?
No, it wasn't show in the comics - comics had to reflect what sets looked like, because the point of them was to sell sets. And I assume you would take it off the same way you would take off other armor.
Can matoran "put on" the adaptive armor?
No, the armor would be too big for them. It's designed for use by Toa.
Can makuta put on the armor then?
this was buried again

- 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:
- 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.

Doubt it. The adaptive armor has gaps in it. It does not completely seal the Toa in. Makuta armor is sealed to keep the antidermis from seeping out.

1) The intent with the Vorox never had anything to do with mutagen. It was simply a case that as a society, they collapsed in the wake of the disaster. There was no outside force involved.
2) Sorry, no. The GBs did not create the mutagen with an eye toward it doing that. They did not create it to be a mutagen at all. It is a fluid within the robot which turns into a mutagen when it leaks into water. It was not "intended" to mutate anything.

1) Not sure where to start with this. Are you aware of Vezon's actions in the storyline?
2) Artakha was a creator. He built things.
3) Where better to put your sensor arrays and information-gathering tech than in the brain? That's where ours are.

1: Well, he was made by the Spear of Fusion hitting Vestok in reverse. He stole the spear afterwards, and he was the first between the Piraka and Toa to find the Mask of Life. Which fused him with a Fenrakk spider. The toa/piraka had to battle him for the MoL. That's as much as I know
3: But the cloaking device sticks out of the ocean, which implies that Metru Nui is not in the head, but on it.

Well, thanks for taking your time to answer these questions!! Hope to hear from you soon!
I didn't create Ninjago and I'm not involved at all with the TV series. My involvement with Ninjago has been writing graphic novels and short stories for it.
Oh. Well then I have one two questions:
1. Did you draw the pictures for the graphic novels? If yes, how did you draw them?
2. What will your next book be about?
Well, thank you for taking your time to answer these questions!!
