On a completely unrelated note, why do you not consider the Mata Nui Online Game canon?


1) I'd have to check. The whole infected mask thing was 14 years ago and I don't remember what rules we made.

2) I don't think I ever said that all of it is non-canon. But parts are, simply because the game was designed before the universe was really mapped out and before anyone knew BIONICLE would last longer than 2001. So there were things that were not going to work as part of the established universe going forward.


2. Like Onua using a Matatu and Kopoka using a Mahiki?

2.Did Tahu's golden armor go over his apdaptive armor, or did it replace it?

 

2a If over, can he still adapt but be golden?

 

2b If replace, does his weapon or weapons adapt?

 

3. If Tahu takes off his golden armor he no longer has the kraata powers right? So if  he puts it back on, does he get them back?

 

Thanks for answering my many Bionicle questions!!!!


Sorry if i'm bothering you, but I think you missed this one.

Because the moviemakers wanted to make discovering their mask powers a part of the 2004 story.

1) Not that I know of. None of the Mahri are characters in new BIONICLE, as far as I am aware, so I don't see how they could make an appearance.

2) Matoro was one of my favorite Toa too. But he was also the right one, story-wise, to make that sacrifice.

3) Yes

1. It's possible they could be in one of the books. That would be cool. You're reading and you see "his name was Matoro".

I really doubt it. Outside of the Toa and Makuta, there seems to be no interest in using a lot of names/terms/characters from G1. They want this to be something new. I think the books are going to focus on the webisodes and the current sets, and not introduce a ton of new characters who aren't going to be appear anywhere else.

Hello again Mr. Farshtey. It's been a little while since I asked a question and I have some more, if that's ok?

 

1) Does an Olmak always open a dimensional portal, or can the user make themselves simply telelport? Or is a portal required?

 

2) Can Toa survive decapitation? Back in 2001, when the Toa Mata arrived on Mata Nui, they were in pieces, but rebuilt themselves and their organic protodermis regenerated and they were all good. So, could a Toa simply put their head back on? Or would it send them on a one-way trip to the Red Star?

3) By extension, could they put limbs back on?

4) If no to question 2, why didn't they unalive?

 

5) When the Great Being took over Velika's body, did the real Velika's consciousness/AI/Spirit/whatever be deleted?

 

Thank you in advance Smile

organisms before the Great Beings tampered with their anatomy/physiology, which we know happened prior to the creation of the MU. In addition, we have the agori and glatorian, who, while not totally biomechs, were given mechanical implants. Then we have the creation of the matoran universe, a universe filled with biomech beings. While we know the GBs created them, we never really knew HOW they created them. Can we assume that they were probably made the same way as the GB's other biomech creations, starting with an organic base and modifying it to be biomechanical? Given standard scientific principle/conduct, (and we know the GBs were primarily scientists) this would make the most sense - they're using multiple applications of the same process.


It's a good question. Before answering, let's consider how Matoran and Toa reassemble themselves and throw that in the mix ... because in that case, they are putting mechanical parts together and then the organic muscle tissue grows to link the parts together. So where does that take the potential theory?


 But we only saw that happen once, with the toa mata, after they basically died (unalived) in their canisters and their tissue decayed from just sitting there so long since the canisters malfunctioned and were unable to maintain their physiological needs. Then after they reassembled their mech parts, the tissue grew back.

In the real world, a living being's tissue can repair itself to some degree after injury. I'm willing to bet that what little tissue was left after 1000 years, combined with some trigger in their mech exoskeleton, was doing some form of advanced sci-fy self-repair when the toa reassembled themselves.

 

As for matoran rebuilding themselves, I'd imagine that they can only manually tamper with the mech parts of their body, and their tissue adapts afterwards - similar to people IRL getting reconstructive surgery.

obviously not greg here, but i'm pretty sure it was stated somewhere that toa power can be used to "heal" an infected mask.

 

as for mnog, the parts/fact that takua went on a journey around the island and what he did is canon. But upon initial release, the player was just a "traveler", not stated to be takua, and there are other small details of the game that aren't canon, such as the romance aspect. (although that may have been confined to the bohrok animations and mnog2). most of the game is canon though.

Is there beings on Spherus Magna with more mechanical implants than other. Tuma for example.


2) Is this a question?

2) Yes


2.Yes, it is. Sorry if I misinterpreted my question. Let me rephrase my question. Before that the Great Beings alters the genetics of the Vorox and the Zesk for giving them a bestial look and a tail what they looked like? A Glatorian/Agori maybe? If yes, they have implants on their faces and other parts of their body to give them a bestial look.
