These things never apply to sentient life. Think about it: Superman sees a building on fire and people are in trouble. So he uses his freeze breath and puts out the fire. But how many insects did he just kill? If he has to worry about every sentient being, he basically can't ever do anything. If he super punches an abandoned building and brings it down on Brainiac, he is killing hundreds of rats and roaches. That's why sapience is the standard.

Hello!

 

I was just wondering: Are you ever going to do something new? It would be cool to have somethig with as good a plot as classic Bionicle again. 


Not really up to me. It depends on what LEGO Company comes up with and whether or not I get a chance to write for it.

The sci-fi definition of "sentient" equals "sapient." Yes, it's weird.

1) I don't recall if I affixed a speciifc time

2) No. His head was not intact when he died

3) No.  Disintegrated.

4) No. He was disintegrated.

5) Gaardus was teleported back to the MU on his first visit to the RS. On his second, we don't know what happened, just that he was gone ... he may still be on the star.

8) No

9) The robot has been dismantled, so there is no MU

10) No

11) With Artakha on Spherus Magna

1) No. Matoro's consciousness did not survive his death. Also, Mata Nui is not dormant in the mask -- Mata Nui is the dominant personality in the mask.

Well, in that case, the animals and insects can be considered collateral damage. However, there must also be consideration for maliciously singleing out, and frying an innocent lizard with lightning.

Did the Ignika's own conciousness become sacrificed in order to bear Mata Nui, or is the Ignika's personality still alive, but not dominant?

Hello again Greg, I have a few more questions.

 

1. If you could meet any one Bionicle character (without the threat of them hurting you if they're a villain Joking), who would you pick?

2. Does Velika's original body still exist, or was it destroyed when he transferred his consciousness?

3. Do you think Velika will try to obtain a better body to replace the decrepit Po-Matoran one?

4. Do you think the Great Beings have been asleep/in stasis the past 100,000 years, or are they still active?

5. Did the Great Beings have in mind a purpose for Mata Nui after he restored Sphereus Magna?

6. Do you know anything about the cancelled 2005 webcomic that involved the "fate of Turaga Dume"?

7. What will the Bahrag do now that Mata Nui is gone and they have no purpose?

8. Serious question: if you took all of Teridax's antidermis and divided it into two equal halves, would both halves regenerate into a new Teridax?


I think this got buried.

Hi Mr Greg! 

 

1. The destiny of all beings of the MU is part of their programmation? for example, the destiny of Takua to become Takanuva and defeat Teridax. this could just be part of its program. If it's the case, the destiny of Takanuva to play a major role in a civil war against Velika is also part of its program? Maybe just in case one of the Great Beings wanted to take control of Spherus Magna after its réunification? 

 

2. When she is fully fed on dreams, Annona is as dangerous and powerful than the Great Spirit Robot (Teridax) may be worse? If so, when Annona has devoured the dreams of all of Skakdi on the fortress, She was as dangerous as the GSR?

 

3. The Sister of Skrall that his psychic powers were amplified by Angonce is she real? Or she was invented by the Sister of Skrall? If she exists, She is basically the living embodiments of the psychic like the Elements Lord? (I know psychic is not considered as an element on Spherus Magna but she can be their equivalent) 

 

4. The Great Beings are immortal? (Thanks to their technologies) or they can live much longer than the Glatorian and the Agori? (Again thanks to their technology) 

 

5. The Great Beings have a "tribal" color and a symbol as the Glatorian/Skrall/Agori? If yes, which one? 

 

6. The Great Beings are a group of scientist and crafters of the iron tribe? I think this because the Nynrah Ghost are also a skilled group of Fe Matoran crafters. Maybe this could be the case for the Great Beings, two group of genius crafters of a iron tribe.

 

Thanks Happy

Hi again.

 

1) Who is the crimson armored robot at the end of Mirror World (the book)? And what are his reasons for wanting to bring down Hero Factory?

 

2) What do you envision Velika doing next?

 

3) Does the Shadowed One have a given name that you just can't reveal?

 

4) If Tobduk was a Matoran, how did he become larger?

 

5) Is time travel possible in the MU?

 

6) Approximately how old was the MU at the time of its destruction?

 

7) Why does Velika want to rule Sperus Magna?

 

8) Can GBs be killed?

 

 

Thank You!Smile
