Greg Farshtey, if you could have any 1 BIONICLE character meet with any 1 Ninjago character who would they be and why?

 

Also, did Ninjago use some story elements that were dropped from BIONICLE?  


1) No idea

2) No. The people involved with the Ninjago story team were not the same people who were on the BIONICLE story team. And a good bit of the Ninjago storyline came from the writers of the TV show, who had nothing to do with the BIONICLE.

There's an alternative dimension where Teridax wins the war of Bara Magna? If so, he succeeded his spatial conquest?


1) Yes

2) There would be a dimension where he succeeded, and a dimension where he failed.

Hello, Greg! Huge Bionicle fan here. I wanted to ask you a few questions. Wink

 

What sort of animations with the Bionicle story use in the summer? Will it use the comic-book style animations, or a more CGI approach, like NinjaGo and HF?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Will all of the Toa get to awaken Ekimu, or will some of them get captured / defeated along the way?

 

(From what I have deduced, Lewa gets defeated first, then Pohatu, then Kopaka, and then Onua. Only Gali and Tahu get to the Forge, and while Gali is outside, fighting an attack of Skull Spiders, Tahu hurries inside to awaken Ekimu. In doing so, he accidentally awakens the Skull Grinder. Ekimu tells him to go outside and save Gali, while he battles the Grinder in an attempt to gain the Mask of Creation.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bionicle comic book featured in Issue 1 of this year's UK LEGO Club Magazine shows Toa and Protectors that look slightly different to the real product. Was this comic designed rather early on, or was it done on purpose?

 

Thanks for answering these questions! Wink

 


I'm not involved with new BIONICLE, NB, so I don't have this information.

I am a HUGE fan of your booksHappy

 


Hi SD -  Papercutz no longer has the Ninjago license, that is why there have been no more books.


What!!!!!???? Noooooooooooooo!!!!!

 

 

P.S. is it possible that you could make more comics from a different publisher?

Hey Greg,

 

Just a quick question: did the Metru Nui Matoran suffer any ill affects from spending roughly one thousand years on the island of Mata Nui. I only ask becuase a car, for example, is perfectly capable of sitting out in the sun, snow and rain, but really is best preserved in an artificial environment. Thanks!

The license is now with Little Brown and Company. They hired me to write some source material for the back of the books but I am not doing the actual comics.

1. Greg I was looking through some Bionicle information and found out about the smugglers of Metru Nui upon viewing the set image on Biosector I noticed a matoran on the left resembling Nixie, is it possible for Nixie to have been a smuggler?

 

2. Is there any other information about the Great Beings other than what is currently known to the public?

That's OK. I know you wrote the old story, and I was not sure if you were writing the new one. I thought you might be too busy with NinjaGo, so i just wanted to check. The reason fro this is because in the credits of Bionicle Episode 9, your name was mentioned. Wink

Yo Greg thanks for answering my questions awhile back. I have another one: do all Vortixx use catcher claws? If not then where did Roodaka get hers?

Mr. Farshtey,

As far as comeing up with stories for the characters goes, would it be you (or any other writers) that writes the backstory and the set designers would make sets around it, the other waay around, or writers and designers work side by side, taking notes on eachothers work?

Greg Farshtey, I have read all but one of your graphic novels for NinjaGo.  I understand they are making no more of them, but how long did it take you to make those in the first place?

Jammers
I'm sorry if you were already asked these, but theres ALOT of pages to go back from.
