Dear greg, how did Velika give the MU inhabatents sapience,why did Mata Nui take the MU inhabatence for granted and did Velika give Mata Nui sapience ?


1) Hasn't been revealed yet, but since it is something that happened all over the MU, it would have to have been either some kind of programming or some kind of a virus

2) Do you think about your white and red blood cells every day, or do you just take for granted that they are there and doing their jobs?

 

3) No.


How can a deformed Po-Matoran that speaks in riddles give sentience to Mata Nui's  equivalent of white and red blood cells?

Hey Greg, I have a few questions if you could answer them:

 

1. Was it originally planned to turn any of the Shadow Matoran from Karda Nui into Toa, and if so which one?

 

2. If Bo-Matoran prefer to live in Jungle type areas, away from civilization, does that make them any more primal than a normal Matoran.

 

3. To what extent can beings with the Element of Plasma survive heat? To the point of standing in fire, or swimming in lava?

 

4. In sands of Bara Magna, Berix said he was trying to collect parts to possibly become a Glatorian one day. Does that mean that it is possible for an Agori to become a Glatorian?

 

5. How strong would you say the elemental abilities of a Turaga Nui be?


I think my post got kinda washed away in the tides of everyone else's posts.


1) No

2) I don't think so, no

3) I haven't defined that their resistance amounts to, but I doubt if either of those would apply. Too extreme.

4) No, it means Berix dreams big

5) Still not as great as a Toa's


@ Question/Answer 4:   Thank you for summing that up.

1. Were the Matoran who'd been "destroyed" by Tuyet revived on the Red Star?
  

2. Some pocket dimensions were created by the Great Beings, weren't they? What about "City of Silver", "Dimension of Light", "Field of Shadows", "Tuyet's Prison", "Dimensions of Makuta Mass"?

 

2.1. What happens with the "Dimensions of Makuta Mass" when a Makuta dies? Does "The Melding"'s Teridax have one in the main/alternate universe?
2.2. Has Annona already died in her dimension?

 

3. Was the "Toa Fortress" where Krakua sent his message to Vakama the Skakdi Fortress?

 

4. Will the Codrex vehicles be used for transportation on Spherus Mana?

 

5. Has the Great Spirit Robot ever flown outside Solis Magna during his travels?

 

6. In "Mask of Light", Jaller died(but was revived). Did his mind get to teleport to the Red Star? And how much time should pass for the dead's mind to be teleported to the RS?

 

7. If the Glatorian and the Agori are able to reproduce nomally, do they have last names? Would be interesting.


1) If your head is intact, you can be revived. So it comes down to how these beings died. If they died in such a way that their head would have been so badly damaged that their AI would not be intact, then their consciousness cannot be downloaded and transferred.

2) I have no idea what you are referring to.

2.2) Don't recall offhand

3) No

4) Possibly

5) No

6) I don't have a time limit for when they get sent. Basically, I have no reason to worry about details like that. As for Jaller ... the concept of the RS doing what it does did not exist at the time that movie was made, so going to the RS was not the intent of the scriptwriter. What  his intent was was never explained to me.

7) Not that I am aware of, besides, I have no legally approved names I could give them

my questions got buried, no doubt about it


1) Beings who die in the MU, and who still have their heads intact, are teleported to the red star, where their consciousness is downloaded into a new body. Then they are telelported back.

2) Mata Nui is not dead, he is in the Mask of Time. And the MU has died, that is why everyone is being evacuated to Spherus Magna.

3) Being cannibalized to make shelters.

4) Yes

5) Only one, Miserix

7) You're applying Earth definitions. This story is not set on Earth.

Hello Greg,

I hate to harrass you about 2015 even though you already said a million times that you cant discuss future product lines but, can you atleast admit that BIONICLE is coming NOW? There is a picture found on the LEGO domain that shows a fancy looking mask with electrical stuff going around that says BIONICLE. 

 

Did you know all along?


I haven't seen this, but as I have said before -- ANY news about future set releases will come from the LEGO Company, NOT from me. That is not the purpose of this topic. I am not allowed to discuss anything about anything past 2014 until LEGO has announced.


And just as an FYI - I can, at any point during the day, walk up the hill, go in the showroom, and see every set we are putting out  next year (except for maybe some store exclusives), from both continuing lines and new ones. Being able to do that is a part of my job, since I have to write about them for the LEGO Magazine and we are already at work on the January 2015 issue. But seeing them and being able to talk about them publicly are two different things. Even employees are not allowed to bring cameras or video recording equipment into the showroom, and leaking product info is pretty much a sure-fire way to lose your job.

So regardless of what you guys see -- or think you see -- I can't post about any LEGO products for 2015 (things that are coming out or things that are not) until LEGO makes an official announcement. "Leaks" and "URL guessing" and rumors do not change that. The only thing that can change that is my bosses.


You are obviously not from "Bathrobes & Basements Incorporated (Patent PendingWink)".Joking

2. While not going into too much detail about sets, seeing as your field is story, how do you feel about the increased use of shooters and decreased use of the gears and functions later down the toyline?

3. Did you like the Bionicle reference in The LEGO Movie?

4. Is it possible to enlarge a Gadunka without the powers of the Ignika?

5. Is it possible for someone else to rebuild/recreate the Vahki?

6. If the Golden Being was diffused, would the Piraka still be in their "sea snake" form, or would they have somehow been undone by the Ignika?

7. What is with Hewkii and chains?

8. Does the adaptive armour give the Toa Nuva their 2002 Masks, Armour and Weapons in its "default" configuration?


1) The sword and/or shield could have been magnetically affixed to his back, as needed.

2) I don't have a strong opinion. These things are decided largely based on focus testing of products.

 

3) Haven't seen it.

 

4) I don't think so, no

 

5) Yes

 

6) They would still be in their sea snake form

 

7) You would need to ask the set designers that

 

8) I assume so. It wouldn't make sense to make them look like Mata.


@ 4: What about a Ga-Metru enlarging disk with a power level of eight?

No. The RS could never have teleported the whole Mata Nui robot inside it, it's way too big. Plus it wasn't designed to restore Mata Nui.

2) Couldn't a Makuta use their vaccum power to prevent air from touching their antidermis and dispersing it?

3) There are at least one letter K in most MU names, including the names of all villan groups (Bohrok, Rahkshi, Vahki, Visorak, Piraka, Barraki, Makuta, and Skrall), why is this?

5) Could three Toa of the same element form a Kaita?

6) How do Toa store their tools? They don't have scabbards or anything, but are often described as using two hands without losing their tools.


1) It's a good question. Part of being a mammal is bearing live young, which MU inhabitants do not do, but they are air-breathers. SM inhabitants are mammals.

2) Yes, if they wanted to do nothing else all day.

 

3) Simple. All names had to pass the Google test - basically, you were looking for no references or a bare minimum of references on Google to the term. If you add a K or an X to words, you tend to cut down a lot on the number of times it pops up on Google.

 

4) Simplicity, basically.

 

5) No

 

6) They attach them magnetically to their backs.


Wait, so the inhabitants of Spherus Magna get married and start families?


Yes
