Chat with Greg Farshtey

1. You said that Voporak is more intelligent than the Hulk. I don't recall Voporak ever speaking or showing any sign of intelligence. Why is that? Is he just blindly loyal to the Shadowed One and so doesn't do anything beyond his mission? Does he feel like he has nothing worthwhile to say?

2. The Great Beings seemed like they were ready for anything when creating the MU. They seemed to anticipate anything that could possibly go wrong, no matter how outlandish, and put a solution in place. Did they have some way of predicting future events, or where they just extremely cautious?

3. Would the Ignika have any way of turning Tahu back into a Toa Nuva?

4. Since Mata Nui is inside the Ignika, is the Ignika's consiousness being repressed? Or are they like "roommates," sharing the mask?

5. Now that Matoro is dead, how is Nuju going to communicate with others? Is he going to have another interpretor, like maybe Kualus? Or will he just start speaking Matoran/Agori/whatever?

6. Nuju had to speak some Matoran during the millenium after the Great Cataclysm, to teach Matoro the bird language, right?

7. Will the seven Turaga of Metru Nui split up, or stay together on Spherus Magna?

8. On that note, do you think most people will stay with their friends and neighbors, or spread out? This question doesn't count Ahkmou, the Barraki, and other exiles.

9. Do you think Ahkmou was at all sad about Teridax's death? On one hand, he seemed to have genuine loyalty to him, but on the other hand, he was selfish.

10. In the Spherus Magna Aternate Universe, the BoM remained benevolent, and protected the Matoran and Agori. Why, then, did Mizerix organize an army to attack them? Could it be inverted, where Mizerix went bad instead of his underlings?

11. Is the Zone of Shadows dependent on the Great Spirit Robot? Meaning that Zivon will eventually die if unrescued?

Thank you.

Buried.

I am not sure if you can anwser these but... 1) Is Cole's father the Elemental Master of Earth? 2) Is Ed or Edna (Jay's parents) the Elemental Master of Lightning? 3) How come Jay can control wind (The episode "The Green Ninja") if Morro is the Master of Wind, Maybe Morro was banished earlier then the serpentine war and Edna/Ed is his daughter/son? That would explain Chen not needing it (Cause Jay had it too). 4) Why wasn't Lar featured in the TV show when the elemental master of water was in the flashbacks? And then, about Rahi: 5) How do Rahi eat? Like Matoran? Muaka were carnivores, how did they eat? 6) Rahi couldn't reproduce and Miserix/Melding Teridax doesn't know how to make all of them, so, are they a limited amout now? 7) What will happen when the Rahi and Spherus Magna creatures clash? Thanks! 1) Don't know 2) I would guess no. 3) Don't know. I don't write the TV episodes,l so I don't have the background on why they do what they do in them 4) Again, not involved in the TV show, so no way for me to know 5) No, Rahi not being that bright for the most part will bite and chew even though they don't have to. And being a carnivore simply means they can derive energy from meat, the same way Matoran derive it from fish, for example. 6) There is also the issue that they do not have access to the machinery used to make Rahi on SM at this point. 7) Sometimes Rahi will win, and sometimes they won't.

Buried 1-3) I am not aware of there being a Mask of Incomprehension 4) No. A Toa of Psionics most likely would not bother to use masks whose powers duplicate ones already possessed, because mask powers are not stackable. If you are using the mask power, you are using the mask power, not your own power plus the mask power. The only reason you would use a mask would be if you wanted to use two powers at once, and so it would make sense to use a mask power in place of a natural one plus one of your natural ones. 5a) I was referring to Toa elements 5. So, a Mask of Earth, Mask of Sonics etc, exist? Also, would it be possible to forge say a Kanohi of Acid or some MU element, not wielded by a Toa naturally? If so, would they be immoral? It is theoretically possible for there to be a mask of every Toa element, because there would be Toa discs for every element. As far as Kanohi of Acid, the reason we never made it a Toa element was that LEGO would never have approved it, so I would probably stay away from doing it as a Kanohi officially too. YOu avoid my question. Is it possible for a Kanohi of Acid to exist, or other not Toa elements Kanohi. If so, would they be immoral?
Danielhll23	2015-05-14 19:16 UTC–5 Permalink 1. When the Great Spirit Makuta was killed, it seems the majority of main characters made it out safely. How many people would you speculate made it out, since the insides are so large, and you only have roughly three days for the most part before it becomes uninhabitable (as stated in several novels). 2. When Great Spirit Makuta died, he was pushed by Mata Nui on to the Black spike mountains. Would this have killed most of the Skrall/Baterra? 3. Did you have any idea behind the aging process of Agori/Glatorian? They seem to live for tens of thousands of years, with Ackar being well over 100k before being considered "old". How long would you say it takes an Agori/Glatorian to mature from a child to an adult? Would it be thousands of years? 4. How many casualties do you think there were on the "good" side during the final battle? 5. Were the Matoran the only species designed by the Great Beings to be "drone" like before Velika changed them? Or were every species designed to be like that and Velika affected them all? Thank you!

Thank you! 1) Part of the reason it would become uninhabitable so fast would be lack of air and lack of heat. But when the head of the robot is ripped wide open, you are going to have air, at the least. Anyway, I don't have stats on how many made it out. Since we weren't going to wind up continuing story onto Spherus Magna to any great extent, I didn't worry about it. 2) No 3-4) I don't have information on this. With #3, again, by the time we were executing 2009, we knew the story was ending, so there was no need to spend time on these details. 5) All of the species had some role to play. Rahi, for example, were essentially white blood cells. And no, Velika did not tamper with every species.

YOu avoid my question. Is it possible for a Kanohi of Acid to exist, or other not Toa elements Kanohi. If so, would they be immoral? I am not avoiding your question. I am telling you that since LEGO would never have approved a Kanohi of Acid, then one would not have existed in the story. As far as masks being immoral, why would a mask of a non-Toa element necessarily be immoral? You are going to have to give me specific examples if you want an answer on that.

RocketRacer7235	2015-05-15 10:36 UTC–5 Permalink Hi Greg! 1. Would a theoretical Toa Inika of light have there travel at lightspeed power diluted to traveling somewhere between light and lightning's speeds? 2. Toa disks... Are they forged, or do they just appear somehow? 3. Can Toa of stone or earth create minerals, such as diamond or quartz?

I think mixing it with another line, especially a minifigure-based line, would be a mistake.
