Hello, I know that you did not release the name of the Dark Hunters leader, The Shadowed One, because of all the backlash you received when you released the name of Makuta Teridax. The Bionicle fan base is shrinking but still exists and I know that many people would be eager to know what The Shadowed One's actual name, and I am one of them. So in short what I'm asking is would you be willing to divulge his name, if not I understand.

---

Nope.

---

Are you saying that you came up with a name and won't tell what it is, or that no one ever came up with the real name for The Shadowed One?

 

 Speaking of which: were the Dark Hunters  supposed to be the Bionicle Universe's version of the mafia?

---

1) I did come up with a name, yes

2) No. The Mafia cannot be hired by outsiders, they work for themselves. The Dark Hunters were a for-hire group.

---

Ah, thanks Greg.

Some being's powers are extremely powerful and can be used in hugely destructive ways. are there safegaurds agaist a being doing extremely lethal acts such as :

Thok: animating a Kanohi to pull it of a being's face, animating and controlling Toa, animating the support structure of a building to make it collapse, etc.

Toa of Psionics: severing connection between mind and motor functions, putting a being into a coma or killing them (By making the brain stop the heart or swell the throat and make them suffocate, etc.), decreasing one's intelligence, causing insanity, planting evil opinions, cutting off their connection with their eyes, etc.

Toa of Gravity: using gravity to destroy delicate internal organs, making an object's gravity the same as a planet's, using gravity to push apart a being's molocules until the molecular bonds break which causes instant disintegration, ripping someone apart with opposing gravitational forces, doing a Nova Blast and creating a black hole, etc.

Makuta: too many to list.

---

The safeguards are other beings whose role is to make sure these beings do not run out of control.

---

How can any being in the Bionicle Universe counter the powers of gravity, animation, or psionics, let alone a makuta not holding anything back?

---

Keep in mind that a) a Makuta can only use on power at a time and b) they are extremely vulnerable to Light. They also tend to be arrogant egomaniacs who underestimate their opponents.

---

Ah, well that does explain a lot.    But what types of light are Makuta vulnerable to?   If the answer is all light, then it would be impossible for Makuta to go out in the open except at night, and even then, all the matoran would have to do to protect themselves is just fill their dwellings with bioluminescent plants or animals, or just something on fire.   

Continued in next post.

Continued from previous post:

And what about the skakdi, who aren't vulnerable to light, and are inherently cruel and untrusting, so would maybe have every intention of using their powers on victims as they saw fit, and are not particularly vulnerable to light?  (Sorry if what I wrote on the Skakdi is incorrect.)

But again:   What about Toa of Psionics or Gravity gone rogue?  Assuming that their consciences have been hardened to the point where they don't care in the least bit about who or what they destroy, just as long as they destroy pestroy plenty of them.   Who could withstand against their might, and how?   If a team of toa could defeat one or both them, wouldn't the good toa suffer casualties?

1) What type of animal (mammal, reptile, bird, amphibian, fish, insects) would you classify 1a)Matoran/Toa 1b) Skakdi 1c) Vortixx 1d) Agori/Glatorian?

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?

4) The names of almost all species, groups, and objects (Toa, Matoran, Turaga, Rahi, Bohrok, Rahkshi, Makuta, Vahki, Kanoka, Kanohi, Visorak, Hordika, Vortixx, Rhotuka, Piraka, Skakdi, Barraki, Agori, Glatorian, Skrall...) are the same in both singular and plural forms. 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

---

Well then how do the Agori tell which members of their race are male and which ones are female?  By the pitch of their voices?  Because I personally can't think of any visual features to tell the male Agori apart from the female Agori.  (They all look identical.)

AWESOME!!!! My only question is: what do you think of the re-doing of the bionicle theme?

---

As with any LEGO line, I hope it is successful.

---

Well, then, I have a question that pertains unto any current LEGO line:   Out of the current LEGO lines, name three sets you really like.   

(Also, if LEGO Dimensions had a future wave of toys that  featured characters, vehicles, items, and levels  from classic Bionicle, what would you want to see you in the game concerning classic Bionicle?)

1. How did Nuparu in his Mahri form in the story (and if you can remember, the prototype of the toy) simeaultaneously carry a Cordak Blaster, Aqua Blaster Blade and Razor-Edged Protosteel Shield?

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?

---

This post might've accidentally been overlooked due to the large amount of questions I put in at a time,  so I ask again:

Couldn't a Ga-Metru enlarging disk with a power level of eight also have enlarged the Gadunka creature to the size it was?

No comprehensive list has ever been done.

Wait: Tahu gained the powers of Kraata?

Yes, that was one of the abilities of the golden armor he wore.

 Well then who cares that he's not a Nuva with adaptable armor anymore? He's OP!

I don't understand the red star, at all. Could you give me a rundown of what it is?

 

Ok at the very end of the bionicle series Mata Nui dies, what keeps the universe from falling apart like the last time he died?

 

What happened to the giant robot bodies?

 

Is it safe to say that skrall and bone hunters still wander the sands of the combined planets?

 

Is it possible there are still makuta that survived, like maybe a few piraka that ran off before they were destroyed?

 

Are there still dangerous rahi roaming the planet, like visorak?

 

Would barraki squids really be considered squids? I would classify them as parasites

---

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

6) Any Rahi that made it out of the robot would be on SM, yes

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

---

Ah, so is that that why Makuta Teridax got his head smashed?

---

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.

---

Okay!

---

1) Skakdi have been beaten before. Most of them are not all that bright and can be out-thought, plus they tend to fight amongst themselves.  They beat the Nuva due to surprise, but could not defeat the Toa Inika, who were much less experienced Toa.

 

2) I subscribe to Captain America's view that anyone can be beaten. How exactly that would happen would depend on the story I was telling and who the heroes were in it. Is it possible heroes would die in the fight? Sure. But heroes have died in this story before. (And remember, there are psionic-based and gravity-based villains in comics, and they always get beaten.)

 

---

Yeah, point taken.🤔    I guess it all depends on how the story is written.

Greg, a couple questions

1. Is it posible for bionicle gen1 to be conected to gen2 and some of the charecters brought back?
2. Did you have the idea for Mata Nui to be a giant robot at the time of ''The Mask of Light'', or was it further back?
