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!


The original idea was that they would be the key to unlocking the Bahrag in the event they were trapped or hindered in some way. Yes, their loss causes potential problems, but so would stealing a Toa's Kanohi. Anything powerful has the potential to be taken and either used against you or hurt you by virtue of your no longer having access. I don't think you need to look for some deep, dark motivation here.


If, let's just say some random toa fell into energized protodermis and was destined to transform into a toa nuva, would his elemental powers be tied to... what? Artahka made the cube for a perfectly good reason, but why were the toa's powers locked to the nuva symbols respectivly?

I heard the message boards were closing, and I wanted to get a few more questions in.

 

 

 

11. How was Teridax able to rip apart the Toa Kaita? And make Shadow Toa?

 

 


 

11) Makuta understands the inner workings of this universe. That gives him a lot of power.


11) About the kaita, Makuta did have the Spear of Fusion sitting around in Mangaia, colecting dust. Perhaps this is what he used it for?

BS01 wiki says that were some on Bota Magna, but they have probably since been killed by Baterra that were trapped there, too. I asked that question before I thought of checking the wiki, so I'll take that as a lesson for the future...if there is any asking Greg questions in the future.

4b. Could more be born, or do their parents have to be leader-class, too? I feel like this was answered somewhere before...

4) Yes, he is the last

Wait, didn't you say that there might have been more who survived on Bota Magna? Have you changed your mind, or was that just a mistake?

He also said that the those "who may have survived" may have been wiped out by the Bota Magna's Baterra. I think it isn't a mistake.

Yes, but you had said that it biologically was a Rahi, while not really confirming that it met all the criteria (wich is what I originally asked about).

1) I found a contradiction on those two Glatorian bodies found in Dwellers In Darkness in the Core Processor: in 2009 you said they were pilots who were employed by the GBs to pilot the GSR in case its systems were damaged and they died in the GC, but in 2014 you said that they were only supposed to pilot the GSR for its inital launch and that they were supposed to eject, but things didn’t work out that way, and that something disabled killed them before they could, way before the GC. I’d usually trust the earlier version, but on things like this, I’m not really sure. But if the correct version is the second one, who or what caused their deaths? And was it intentional?

2) You mentioned that you're working on something non-LEGO-related, can you tell us what it is?

3) Would it be possible for you to join the BS01 wiki to continue answering questions? Like, people could ask you things on your talk page. It doesn't really have an age-verification system, but since it is part of the LEGO Ambassador Network it wouldn't be a problem, right?

Hi Greg,

 

Thank you for answer my questions in the past and before the LMBs close I have just one more.

 

So the Kraata/Makuta power of Infection, is that just slathering some Antidermis on an object? Or rather, is Antidermis being used to infect things?

 

I ask because the Infected Kanohi and Kohlii Balls hold very similar properties to that of the Antidermis filled Zamor Spheres that the Piraka used on the Voya Nui Matoran. Infected masks allowed Makuta to control Matoran and Toa while the Antidermis infected Matoran were highly susceptible to suggestion, allowing the Piraka to control them. And the infected Kohlii Balls when they made the Matoran sick, it reminded me of the Antidermis infected Matoran which oftened moaned a lot in various media.


This was sadly buried.

Mr. Farshtey:

 

Firstly, I would like to thank you very much for answering all these questions for so long. It means a lot to me and a whole bunch of BIONICLE fans. Thanks.

 

Second, I have a few questions about Kaita:

 

1) Can only MU inhabitants form Kaita?

2) What inhabitants of the MU can form Kaita? The ones we know for sure are Toa, Matoran, Turaga, Bohrok (and maybe Bohrok Va, but I'm not quite sure), Bohrok-Kal, and Rahkshi. Can Skakdi form Kaita? Can Makuta? Can Vortixx?

3) Also, are Kaita only formable between three beings of the same species?

4) In regards to Bohrok Kaita, do the Krana of the three constituent Bohrok fuse as well to make a Krana Kaita, or do they stay separate with only one of them controlling the entire Kaita? For that matter, what about Kraata in a Rahkshi Kaita?

5) There are also the fusions called Matoran Nui and Turaga Nui, made by six Matoran or Turaga. Can any other beings form Nui fusions? Is there such a thing as a Toa Nui or a Rahkshi Nui?

6) The masks of the Toa Mata (and, subsequently, the Toa Nuva) fused into one mask when they formed Kaita. Is there any way to fuse three masks into one "Kanohi Kaita" without making a Toa, Matoran, or Turaga Kaita? Could maybe the Spear of Fusion accomplish this?
