6.) Do the inhabitants of Spherus Magna have weddings?
7.) If a Toa comes into being by having previously been an unaltered matoran who used a Toa stone, will that Toa always have the exact same type of body as Toa Lhikan or the Toa Metru (as opposed to the body build types of the Toa Mata and Toa Lesovikk?) If not, then what determines what type of body build the unaltered matoran will have in his or her new Toa form?
8.) Has Brutaka ever used his Olmak to explore other dimensions for himself? Has he ever seen two-dimensional or one-dimensional universes, or fourth, fifth, or even higher-dimensional universes?

As always, thanks for your answers, Greg.HappyThumbs up

God bless, JDI out.

5) Yes, and Vezon is psychotic, so he's always a threat

6) Yes

7) Comes down to what their idea of a Toa is.

8) Unknown

9) Yes

10) That is one of the consequences of using super-speed, yes. But they aren't actually moving that slowly, it's just your perceptions

11) I don't really have obscure favorites with Marvel. With DC, I was always a big fan of the Justice Society

12) Velika possessed that body before Mata Nui was launched, so it hadn't been to Karzahni at that point.

13) Yes, quite a few. Phantom Ninja, for example

14) No idea. I didn't write that.

15) Too many for me to be able to reasonably pick one. I doubt I remember them all.

Hello Greg, nice to talk to you.

 

1) Let's assume that the Ignika attached itself to Vezon's head, but Mata Nui was awake and not dying. Would this mean the Ignika would be gold, while the rest of Vezon's head would be silver?

2) Did you create any other characters besides Karzahni?

3) Are you currently working on Nexo Knights?

4) A Skopio is a living creature, correct? And the Skopio XV-1 is a machine, right?

5) Have you seen The Legend Reborn?

6) If so, in the scene where Mata Nui, Kiina, an Ackar are driving through the desert in the Thornatus, and what appears to be a Skopio attacks them, is this a Skopio XV-1, or the mechanical version?

7) Why do Scodonius and Kirbraz put up with each other?

8) Is the material that makes Krana a Kanohi mask?

9) Gold Good Guy is Turaga Lhikan, correct?

10) Does the Glatorian species have a name besides Glatorian?

11) What did Ackar do to become so well-respected as a Glatorian? Was it simply winning matches?

12) In some Glatorian commercials, the logo is subtitled with "For Victory-For Glory-For Power". Would this be a Glatorian motto?

13) After Mata Nui defeated Teridax, why didn't he go back into the MU and use that body to restore Spherus Magna? Was it that badly damaged?

 

Thank you for your time!Happy

 


 

1) Not sure what Vezon has to do with this? He never wore the Ignika

2) Yes. Not a ton, but Mavrah was one

3) No, no involvement with that theme

4) Yes

5) No

7) They both enjoy competing against each other

8) No

9) Don't recall, I never paid much attention to purely promotional sets

10) Not that we ever gave them, no

11) Yes

12) Not to my knowledge, no. That's just marketing

13) The head was smashed in pretty thoroughly. For Makuta to have been killed by the blow, the control centers for the robot would have had to be trashed, so it would have been useless to Mata Nui

Hi Greg,

If you remember, about a month ago I asked you if the Bahrag had created new Bohrok-Kal after the Toa Nuva freed them in Prisoners of the Pit's epilogue. You said they wouldn't have had much time to do it before MN's awakening, but the story says that to create them they just took some Bohrok and exposed them to an unknown mutagenic substance. They must have had plenty of time to do that, since at least a week or more passed from the time they were freed and Mata Nui's awakening . So I have five questions:

1)  Do Bohrok need to be exposed to this mutagenic substance for a long time to transform into Bohrok-Kal?

2)  If question 1 is correct, did the Bahrag at least begin the process?

3)  Or is the creation of this mutagen that takes a long time?

4)  A while ago you said that the EP under the Bohrok Nest had something to do with the Bohrok-Kal's creation, but we know from the story that the mutagenic substance isn't EP, and if it was, then it wouldn't have taken much time for the Bahrag  to make new ones. Could it be an altered version of EP, or is it a completely different substance?

5)If it is a different substance, then what did the EP have to do withe Bohrok-Kal's creation?

Have a nice day


To my knowledge, no new Kal were created.

1) Unknown

2) As I said, not that I am aware of

3) No

4-5) It resulted from the interaction of EP with another substance, which it transformed into the mutagen

Hello Mr Greg 

 

1. If Velika manage to instaure his policy, It will be him who will reign on Spherus Magna? Or Velika will use someone to rule the planet in its place but Velika will manipulate him in the shadow like a puppet?

 

2. What kind of policy Velika wants to instaure on Spherus Magna?

 

3. The Staff of Artakha can be used outside of the Matoran Universe? If so, Its power has the same range?

 

4. Artakha has already used the Staff of Artakha at least one time?

 

5. The Staff of Artakha was created before or after the Great Cataclysm?

 

6. The destinies of the beings of the MU to be transformed or destroyed by the Energized Protodermis was programmed by the Great Beings?


Buried 

 

In Journey's end, Teridax declared that his new body (GSR) would be able to destroy universes. The Great Spirit Robot can really destroy universes? 

 

How long the Great Beings exist? Since 150,000 years? 250,000 years? or more?


Buried again 


1) It would be him, yes, and any GBs he got to come to his side

2) Velika believes the GBs need to take a direct hand in how Agori and Glatorian society is run. He believes the hands-off policy is why things like the Core War happened.

3) It would work on items similar in construction/composition to the MU.

4) Not in story, no

5) After

6) We don't know - it may have been something that happens without the GB's knowledge as a result of the process of creation

7) Yes. Not all at once, but it could smash planets into rubble, so over time, yes, it could cause all sorts of destruction. You could wreck a planet just by moving a moon a little bit closer.

8) Unknown

Okay, thanks!

 

1) What I meant is, say that the Ignika wanted a guardian, and it chose Vezon. When Vezon had the Ignika, it was attached to the back fo his head, and it was silver to mark the countdown. But if Mata Nui was still alive, and the Ignika was using Vezon as a guardian, would the Ignika still be gold, or would it be silver? (It would be silver because Vezon has a silver head).

 

Thanks!

Since Marendar tracks Toa by homing in on elemental energy, are the Glatorian that Mata Nui gave Toa powers to (Ackar, Kiina, Gresh etc) at risk of being targeted by it?


This got buried.

 

I also wanted to ask a couple of other things.

1) Do the 2001 Rahi (Muaka, Tarakava, Nui Jaga etc) normally wear Kanohi? Or do they only have them when a Makuta puts infected masks on them?

2) When was the decision made to have Makuta be a species rather than one individual? Was the reverse ever considered (i.e. Teridax being the species name while Makuta gets to be his own guy Joking )?

3) What would happen if a Kraata tried to infect the Avohkii?

Okay thank you so much! 

 

2. Yes, but to what degree his policy will be severe? it will be as severe than the Toa Empire? 

 

2b.Velika has allies other than Kabrua and Attakus? If yes, who? Is it some leaders like Raanu, or even some beings of the MU who have kept the secret?

 

2c. In The Powers That Be story I believe it was mentioned, that Velika needs all the Toa Mata assembled, but if I remember correctly, I don't think Velika has mentioned why he needs them. Why Velika needs the Toa Mata, and for what purpose? 

 

3. Its power could work on Spherus Magna? 

 

7. How long does it take to Teridax to destroy a universe with the GSR if he has the will to destroy the universe? 

 

7b. So, the GSR is universal and not a planet buster like it was mentioned in the story?

You haven't answered my questions. 


Drake - I can't always get to questions right away. This is something I do in my spare time.

 

Makuta's Guide to the Universe.

1) Mata Nui's body is gone and his consciousness resides in the Mask of Life.

2) Mata Nui the island was the robot's face, so it's been dismantled

3-5) On Spherus Magna

6) The only Makuta still alive are Miserix and the "good" Teridax from the alternate universe.

7) DH and OOMN are on Spherus Magna, BOM is destroyed

8) No longer exists

9) Kanohi are on Spherus Magna

10) Voya Nui was dismantled along with the rest of the robot. Mahri Nui was destroyed in 2007 story

11) You can't. We saw Tahu go from being a Toa Nuva to a Toa, but in general, you cannot go backwards. That's why a Turaga can't go back to being a Toa.

 


Sorry. That was rude. Sad

Might I add we are very grateful that you do this.

I've heard about that book! Thanks! 

  1. Where is the Mask of Life? 
  2. Bummer. Joking
  3. What do they do? 

6. What about the main Makuta? The one that faced Takanuva. 

8. What hapopened to them? 

9. Where are they? 

11. What? I think you misunderstood. 

I'm asking what's up with the island Metru Nui. Where is it? A cave? Underwater? On or above the ocean? 

Next, say a Toa was magically turned into a My Little Pony. Would an energized protodermis bath return the pony to a Toa body?

Sorry Greg for asking this (because you might have already answered this question a million times already). All right, here it goes *takes deep breath*.

 

1) Will you ever be finishing The Yesterday Quest and The Powers That Be? (if not, will you ever spoil the ending plus who dies, who lives, etc?)

I can't write anything for BIONICLE without permission from LEGO Company, and since there is no real reason to promote old BIONICLE, I tend to think they have other priorities. As for the endings, I don't outline my stories ahead of time, so I don't know what the ending would have been. I'd have figured it out when I got close to it.

1) Unknown. It's hidden somewhere on Bara Magna.

3) Most of the inhabitants of the Matoran Universe are busy trying to adapt to this new world and build a new society with the inhabitants of Spherus Magna.

6) Dead. Killed in the final battle with Mata Nui in the last BIONICLE movie.

8) Are you asking about Toa Ignika or the BOM here?

9) Stored somewhere, I would assume, until some kind of suva equivalent can be constructed

11) Metru Nui was the robot's brain. It was inside the head of the robot, and it has now been smashed to pieces.

12) Not necessarily, no. There is no proof EP will turn you back into something you were. All we know if that it will transform you or destroy you, but there is no way to predict how it will transform you.
