Greg, I asked this before but it go buried:
How tall are Vortixx, like Roodaka? Also, how big (length and width) do you think their hands/claws would be, especially compared to a human's, or Toa's?

Hey Greg, I have another question:

Is it posible for their to be more than one "Judgment Cannon" in the MU?


In this case, I would have to defer to the fan who created the JC. Based on the history they supplied, it does not sound like something there would be more than one of.


Ahh.Wink

I have another question:

One of my freinds wants to know why you are not involved with the the second Bionicle genaration.Wink


The BIONICLE team decided to go in a different direction and bring in a writer who was new to the franchise, since it was a reboot.


Interesting.Joking

That's all of the questions I have, thanks.Wink

Hey, Greg. n the BIONICLE movies, there was something that confused me. What is the chronological order of the movies, because it doesn't seem like it goes Mask of Light, Legends of Mata Nui, Web of Shadows, and Legend Reborn.

Legends of Metru Nui, Web of Shadows (Vakama is telling the two movies to the Toa Nuva), Mask of Light, The Legend Reborn. if it seems like there is a gap between Mask of Light and Legend Reborn, that's because there's a LOT hat's happened between the two movies.

It's Legends of Metru Nui, Web of Shadows and Mask of Light like the person above said. However one might argue that Mask of Light does come first sense Vakama is recounting his story at the end of the film, or is about to, which is what is happening in Legends of Metru Nui. Now, Web of Shadows actually takes place in between the scene where the Toa Metru goes through the tunnel carrying the spheres/pods with the sleeping Matoran inside and the ending where they all turn into Turaga. You see, these pods were not all of the ones that existed. They left these few pods on the shore of Mata Nui, went back through the tunnel and that is where Web of Shadows begins, with the Toa Metru being shipwrecked on their quest to fetch the rest of the Matoran. Fast forward to the end with the airships and the ending of Legends of Metru Nui happens.

Also, there is a humongous gap between the original movie trilogy and The Legend Reborn since a lot of the years weren't adapted to film, sadly Sad

Hey Greg, what is likely to happen to an av-Matoran that puts on the Kanohi Kraahkan?

Followup question: Does the Kraahkan always shadow blast non-Makuta or can its owner control that function of it?

Hi Mr.Farshtey,

1) Is Protosteel more resistant to TSO's disintegration eyebeams than other subtsances?
If yes, does that mean Protosteel would be less damaged by any disintegration powers, still compared to other substances?

 

2) Makuta powers such as Heat/Cold Resistence or Limited Invulnerability have to be activated consciously or they just remain active passively?


Buried.

You mentioned in a previous question that there are machines in the Matoran universe that the Turaga once used, or still do use to build new Matoran.  It is also somewhat implied in the story that the Great Beings specifically decided what the different types of Matoran would be like (refering to Toa Orde and the Toa of Psionics), but it also suggested that at an early point in the history of the Matoran species, the aspects of each type of Matoran was less set-in-stone.  My question is whether these Matoran making machines contain unchangable Matoran "presets", or if the Turaga have the ability to produce "non-standard" Matoran (e.g. Matoran of the wrong gender or colour design), but stick to the design rules as per the great Beings instruction?  

 

As a follow up; if the answer to the previous question was that the Turaga are able to create non-standard Matoran, is it possible that a Turaga could create a "fusion" of two different elements, or perhaps an all-together new type of Matoran?  

Thank you for your time.

1.) When the Piraka invaded Voya Nui posing as Toa heroes, how did they know that the Mask of Life would be in the volcano? Is that the reason the came to Voya Nui?

 

2.) When the Toa Mahri Matoro sacrificed himeself to save Mahri Nui, why did the Mask of Life just suddenly turn silver?

 

3.) How did the Mask of Life go from being in Mahri Nui with Matoro to Karda Nui?

 

4.)What was your favourite location

 

5.) For number 4, I mean like Voya Nui, Mata Nui, Metru Nui, Karda Nui, Mahri Nui, all the "Magna" places, and Okoto; also, did I miss namine any worlds? Is there another "Nui" or something that I left out?

 

Thanks

I have a question about The Awakening. According to BS01, none of the MUians were given full sapience until after the robot launched, and that even when the toa mata were defending the matoran in karda nui, they weren't fully sapient.

1. the actions of many characters in the story during that time period don't really make sense if they weren't fully sapient at the time - i.e. hydraxon's personality while training the mata, the toa's reactions to that training and personalities they had, helryx's motivations and actions, including the formation of the order of mata nui to replace hand of artakha, etc.

2. since the toa mata were in stasis for all those years, they wouldn't have been able to get the "update" if you will, granting them sapience.

 


Just a quick answer -- we talked about Matoran  gaining sapience as a result of what Velika did ... not Toa. We never said the Toa did not have it from the beginning.


Interesting.... so were the matoran the only ones who weren't fully sapient?

 

Was it intended then that a matoran who became a toa would suddenly become sapient?

 

 

Totally unrelated, but mac or pc? And android or ios?

1) There most likely were others who weren't either, pre-Velika. But Toa had to be because of the nature of their jobs. A Toa can't just do pre-programmed work, he/she has to be able to adapt to dangers and think on their feet.

2) Yes

3) PC. Haven't worked on a Mac since '96. And I have two mobiles, so both.

1) Makuta implanted the idea of finding the Ignika and where to start looking in their minds.

2) Don't recall. Might have been a set design thing.

3) Matoro brought it to Karda Nui with him.

4) My favorite locations tended to be places I invented more than places from main story

1) Just a quick point - at this point, they don't still use them, because with the Great Spirit Robot broken, there is no power to run them.

2) Not that I am aware of. It's not something the story team ever discussed
