So Boxors were made out of bohrok. and Bohrok are basically dead Av-Matoran. So does that mean that Boxors are made out of dead av-matoran?

Also, I have been trying to find info on how the matorn upgraded themselves after the bohrok attacks. How did the matoran rebuild themselves and what did they use?

2. Wouldn't amphibious toa have a slight advantage over others?

Only if there were in an environment where there was water. If you were in, say, the deserts of Bara Magna, being amphibious wouldn't help you at all.

1) Yes

2) Well, we know from the Toa that the pieces can come apart and be reassembled, because the muscle tissue in between will regrow. And it's entirely possible that that growth or retraction may be controlled by the AI. So as long as you have protodermis to make new parts or add to old ones, you can rebuild.

Hey Greg! Do you remember if the appearance of  fake Bohrok (nicknamed "Fohrok") in BIONICLE Comic 25: Birth of the Rahaga was planned? Or did the artist simply draw a Bohrok even though they were supposed to be asleep at that time, inspiring you to come up with the concept of Fohrok and their backstory?


The latter.

Recently, I have come up with a question to ask that I don't know the answer to. Surprised

 

 

What exactly caused Wairuha and Akamai, the 2 Toa kaita of 2001, to split apart upon enterring Teridax's lair on Mata Nui?


Since that was 15 years ago, I don't really recall what the story reason was supposed to be. The practical reason was that we wanted to promote the six individual Toa more than we did the combination models.

Hey Greg. I have some questions about Hordika... And toa in general...

1. Would a toa hordika always have a rhotuka according to their element, or would it vary as with most entities using rhotuka?

2. Do toa subjected to visorak venom truly lose their elemental powers,(Barring rhotuka) or do they simply lose the mental discipline to use them properly?

     2a. If toa hordika retain their powers, would a theoretical antidote which only reversed the mental effects of visorak venom let them use those powers in hordika form?

3. We know toa(And at least one matoran) of light can move at lightspeed. Do other toa have abilities related to the properties of their element, yet not directly related to controlling their element? For example a toa of water turning their body watery to let a sword go through them harmlessly?

4. How much control do toa have over the effects of charging an object with elemental energy? Is it purely a preemptive defensive measure or can one, say, make a furnace slowly bleed out fire energy to do furnace things, or make paper that reads and displays the thoughts of whomever holds them? 


I think ya missed this.


 


1) A Toa Hordika would, yes.

2) They actually lose the powers.

 

3) Refresh my memory. When did we show them moving at light speed?

 

4) I'm not sure I understand your question

Did Nikila get revived in the Red Star? If so, how?

Because I thought the Red Star could only revive someone if they still had limbs or something, but the Zyglak disintegrated all the Toa Cordak, right?

 

Thanks again for taking time to answer everyone's questions!Happy


No. The red star needs at least an intact head to work with, and Nikila and her team were disintegrated.

What're your thoughts on the theory that Vakama gets his visions of the future because of the Vahi? The general gist of the theory is that because Vakama used the Vahi at full power, the mask of time changed and connected his personal timeline to him in some subliminal way. And because his timeline is connected to him, vakama was able to have the visions before he even donned the mask. The reason Tahu never had the visions is because of the damage the Vahi sustained while it was underwater. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you for all youe hard work in creating this universe we've come to love.

I am hesitant to comment, simply because the whole idea of Vakama having visions did not come from me, and I have no clue what the people who did conceive that had in mind as the explanation.

3) I don't believe we see Takanuva doing this, but Photok amplifies Pohatu's already immense speed in one of the Karda Nui books to lightspeed, or something near it.

4) Alright. The toa Hordika charged a gate with elemental energy for defense. My question is if toa can charge objects, tools, or spots with elemental energy for utility purposes instead.

     E.G. A toa of earth charges a shovel with elemental energy, and the shovel makes the earth move aside and form a tunnel on every strike. Or a toa of gravity charges a wall, and gravity around it is thus turned sideways so that defenders can get to the top more easily and attackers fall away.

do you think they'll make a LEGO war theme?

I'm not Greg, but I think I can answer this with certainty. Joking

Any theme having to do with actual modern war, not the sort of LEGO Star Wars, Pirates, etc. is deemed against the principles that LEGO is based upon. In short, there most likely will never be a LEGO War theme, though interestingly, years and years ago there was talk about a theme that looks sort of like the Napoleonic age, soldiers and all, but that's about as modern as LEGO wars are going to get.

I have a question. Did the Mask of Light make Takanuva into a toa because it had toa energy, similar to a toa stone? If so, is that why Tanma was able to become a toa of light in the Kingdom? With an ordinary toa stone? Thank you so much for your time!

No. LEGO Company has stated we will not do a theme revolving around an actual, historical war. We don't feel that is in line with our company values, plus you run a huge risk of offending people who may have suffered, or whose families may have suffered, in real wars.
