Unknown. Story is frozen where we left it.


I mean If it wasn't frozen. 

P.S. did you have ever have plans for him to find her?


I assume he would find her eventually, but I didn't have plans to do a story about it since Mimic was a very minor character.

Hello Mr. Farshtey,

1) Does Tahu wears the Golden Armor over his Adaptive Armor? In other words, does the GA connects itself over Tahu's AA?

2a) Initially, the Makoki Stone was a tablet. After being passed from one hand to another, cut in six pieces and used by the Rahaga and the Turaga of Mata Nui as keys (for the Avohkii's cache and the entrace to Mangaia), the Makoki Stone could be assembled as a sphere. Do you know which characters have carved the Stone's pieces like that?
My guess would be that the Rahaga had designed the six pieces like simple flat keys, and then the Turaga of Mata Nui would had polished the pieces in order to be able to assemble them in a sphere capable of opening the particular lock of the Kini Nui entrace to Mangaia.

2b) After all it's been through, is there actually some original informations about the Brotherhood of Makuta that remain on the Makoki Stone pieces?

3) During the Karda Nui Saga, the Toa Nuva made a mental link with a Matoran each time the two connected themselves via the Adaptive Armor, resulting in an instant sharing of memories. Since this ability is fairly similar to the Toa capacity of forging a mental link with a being (only shown with Gali and Takua in 2001's and 2008's story), it does make me wonder something.
Does the Adaptive Armor enhance this natural Toa capacity of making a mental link with someone, making it automatic?
It would make sense that AAs are equipped with such a thing: since AAs are conceived to facilitate Toa's job, know all about the situation in which you have to save people in just one mental connection seems to be very helpful.
Moreover, it's exactly what happend when the Av-Matoran Tanma accidentally connected to Lewa's Adaptive Armor: the Toa of Air became aware of all the problems in Karda Nui in one instant.


Buried.

My questions seem to have been skipped over, so I'll ask them again, all in one place. I probably won't get another chance, as the message boards change to read-only soon.

 

1. What was the ratio of Krana to Bohrok? I mean, there was definitely more Krana than Bohrok, but how many more? My guess is 8 krana for every one Bohrok, but that's just a guess.

2. A while ago, I asked about Takanuva's ressurection at the end of Mask of Light. At the time you had no answer and turned to the fans for help, in a manner similar to a 'Marvel No-Prize'. Did we ever get an answer on that?

3.Could a Kanohi Mohtrek send a message into the past by carving words onto their past-self's armor? 

4. During 2006, you used a Jaller prototype as a basis for his in-fiction appearance. Said prototype had two Energized Flame Swords, so my question is, how did it hold both the swords and a Zamor Launcher?

5. On a similar note to question 4, how did the Nuparu prototype you used in 2007 hold his shield, Aqua Blaster Blade, and a Cordak Blaster?

6. What was the purpose of Rahi in the MU? What did they do to help Mata Nui function properly?


Buried


Buried. Again.

 

If you can't answer some of the questions, you can just ignore those.


1) No idea.

2) Not to my knowledge, no

3) Offhand, I would say that is a possibility

4-5) 2007 was 10 years ago, so I don't recall this.

6) The original concept, as I remember, was that Rahi were supposed to function like white blood cells.

Are you confirming that Mimic finding his friend was an eventuality then?

2. I believe it was that some left-over resurrection energy from the Takutanuva fusion is what allowed Takanuva to revive himself.

 

6. I think they also gave the illusion of the MU being a living, breathing world. And they gave Toa a target for their powers so they would stay focused on their goal of protecting Matoran.

Agreed, that makes tons of sense.

 

Q3 may have opened a can of worms though. Joking

Youv'e confirmed that Artakha created the Nuva Symbols upon the Toa Mata's transformation. Why did he do that? The Nuva Symbols provide a very serious weakness to the Toa Nuva, one which the Bohrok-Kal exploited. That seems like a serious design flaw - unless it was intentional. So, I have a few questions/theories that I hope you might weigh in on.

 

1. Did Artakha create the Nuva Symbols as a way to handicap the Toa Nuva in case they were not worthy of their new powers? This would explain why they have such a crippling weakness. It could also explain why they are tied to the villages; the Toa Nuva must remain on good terms with the Matoran or else lose their powers. Whether or not this is so...

 

2. Has Artakha removed the Toa Nuva's connection to the Nuva Symbols, allowing them to access their powers independently? This seems like it would be a smart idea, especially considering Teridax's reign: if Teridax had been able to move the Nuva Symbols, the Toa Nuva would have lost all their powers. They didn't, so obviously either the Nuva Symbols were kept safe and secure, or they no longer required them. (In short: do the Toa Nuva still require their Nuva Symbols to be in the possession of allies in order to access their elemental powers?)

 

Thank you!

Why does Vakama have visions of the future? Is there a particular reason? Does he still have them as a Turaga?

Oops, sorry, I just posted a clone of this post, I didn't realize it had actually appeared because I didn't see it....

 

That's embarrassing. Ignore the clone, if you would.

Good Greg of Bionicle, would you settle something for me?
Someone I know is arguing over the technicalities of Venom Flyer rhotuka - What counts as 'flying' to them? Do they disable the flight of anything that is in the air, or does something that falls slowly like a parachute or glider sneak past it?

On a different note, will you be continuing to answer questions elsewhere, or is this the end of your constant stream of answers?
