1) I don't understand your question.

2) You already answered this. Other MU characters have physical brains -- Makuta do not. So the mask does not work on their mind.

4) Because they did not have the luxury or the facilities to do so.

5) Because the antidermis is in gaseous state, and like many gases, it dissipates in an atmosphere. Vats and spheres contain them, so the dissipation does not occur. And yes, the Makuta are well aware of all this.

9) Since it can reverse the effects of mutagen, probably, yes.

1. What's the difference between possesing a dead body and say, a Maxilos or Exo-Toa?

2. Okay mthen

4. What about Quick Healing? Or quickly teleporting to  a place they can, fix it then come back?

5. Ah

9. Alright

Hi! Is it okay if I ask questions related to NINJAGO? If so, then:

1) In most of the graphic novels, Cole seems to have a major role compared to the TV series. Was it intentional to give Cole more focus?

2) In your opinion, how old do you think the five ninja are?

3) Who's your favorite character to write for in both NINJAGO and BIONICLE?

Happy

There were supposed to be two more movies, in 2010 and 2011. But because the announcement of BIONICLE's cancellation came just as the story team was about to discuss 2010 movie/plot, no official story for 2010 or 2011 exist. I jotted down a couple of ideas, but no one on the story team had even reviewed them, let alone approved them, at the time we got the news. So the simple answer to your question is that there is no answer.


Didn't the 2010 story become "Journey's end" and was about the epic 1 hour battle between Mata Nui and Teridax and their armies?

Could Mata Nui, or anyone else bringing Makuta into existence, give them different Rahkshi powers if they had the correct know-how. Eg. could a Makuta be given Rahkshi powers of fire or earth, or any of the possible mask powers.

 

If it would be possible to give the Makuta different powers, could it be done after they were brought into being, if someone had the correct technologies, and if so, could they be given more than 42 powers, or is that their limit?

Hey Greg, is the Stone Army harder to destroy than solid protodermis?

Hi Greg,

 

I'm not sure if you can answer this as a LEGO employee, but what was perhaps the most problematic theme that LEGO introduced? Did BIONICLE cause any problems? Thanks, as always

1) Organic

2) I am not sure what you mean by this question. Pretty much everything inside the MU is the MU's nanotech.

 

3) No

 

4) SM animals eat like organic beings

 


1. Okay, in that case I have another question about it. These organs were created by the Great Beings or these organs belong to Agori and Glatorian who donated of some of their organs to enable the GB to create the inhabitants of MU? I know it's far-fetched but I'm curious to know it.

That's an easy one.The organic tissue in the MU inhabitants is organic protodermis, so it had to have been created by the GBs. The SM inhabitants are not made of protodermis.

I don't know that I can think of a line that has been "problematic." Some lines are more controversial than others -- for example, when BIONICLE first came out, there were some older fans who complained that it wasn't really LEGO building since it wasn't bricks and it was buildable action figures.

Hello again!

 

I have a few questions this time, about Rahi and the Kanohi Faxon.

 

1. Could aspects of a Rahi's physiology be copied by a Faxon, such as gaining the strength of an Ash Bear, or being able to turn into a Lightning bolt like an Avohkah?

 

2a Was there a limit to the distance that a Fader Bull could teleport?

 

2bi Was the Fader Bull's ability to teleport with its herd but also its unfortunate tendency to appear inside solid objects to do with its level of intelligence?  Being a herd animal, it would have probably possessed some sort of shared consciousness with the rest of the herd, allowing it to remain with them, but its actual sense of direction and distance - not to mention understanding of the teleportation itself - would have given it poor control over it.  That's my theory, anyway.

 

2bii If so, would a Faxon user (provided that they were an intelligent, sentient being) have been able to use the Fader Bull's ability almost like a Kualsi?

 

Thanks!

No. The 2010 story was created to end the storyline once we knew the line was ending and there would be no more movies. Had the line continued, that would not have been the 2010 story.
