This is likely not the place to put this so sorry if it is but dark mirror 6 is up

[nara567]

I got a Gold Star!

I just have one today.

Is Gorast's mask's effect to make the Toa's powers go wild and uncontrolable?

Thanks.

Yes, gold star for you

[Taka Toa of Twil...]

So that is what it does. I am scared for the Nuva now......

[Karzahni's S...]

Here we are:

Hello. I have a few questions on the exact nature of Makuta armor and antidermis. The first few are facts I want confirmed.

1. Icarax is in his Protosteel armor, correct?
2. The best place for a Makuta to be is in his armor, as then he/she can shapeshift and access all of his/her powers, yes?
3. Antidermis can only take over a soulless body or a robot, right?
4. Can Antidermis take over a dead body and use it?
4a. If not, is there any way to remove the soul from a body, or to remove a Makuta from its armor without damaging the armor? A giant vacuum?
5. I don't know if you can answer this, but does MOMN/Teridax have a body currently, or is he in antidermis form somewhere?

I believe that's all for now. Thank you and keep up the great story.

~(IMG:style_emoticons/default/k.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/s.gif) ~

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) A spirit-less LIVING body, or a robot, yes
4) No, because it cannot reanimate the body and make it move
4a) There is no way to force a spirit out of a body or force antidermis out of undamaged armor.
5) No, I can't answer this one

Well, there goes my theory. Though Shadows in the Sky answers some of those... Like my theory about Icarax.

[Mutated_Brutaka]

Cool stuff on Mata Nui's whereabouts!

1. is Mata Nui under the archives?
1) No
2. in the Unity, Duty, Destiny symbol is Mata nui the center dot?
2) No
3. Mata Nui isn't on the southern continent is he?
3) No

I will give you a clue -- while this universe is included on the map, the map is not of this universe. It extends well beyond it.

-Z

Is Mata Nui in this universe or not?

I don't think GregF will give a definate answer to that one

[KevinRevolution]

It's starting to fit together. 2009 isn't in the Universe, the map shows locations out of this universe. I'm starting to see how the map is going to be important in future storyline... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

YES! WE MAYBE GOT INFO ABOUT 2009!
Greg said the map was be seen again in 2009, Greg gives a clue about a map and an other universe!

EDIT: what is a level 3 reader?

[Toa Kalrah]

Here are some random doubts that I had

1)When Teridax was in Maxilos body, was he capable of using his 42 rahkshi powers?

2)Did maxilos had a personality before possession?

3)Are there going to be any CGI movies like barraki short this year?
3b)If yes, can you give an aproximate date?

4)Are there any limits for Makuta shapeshifting?

5)When a Makuta shapeshifts, does his/her kanohi?

Thanks for your precious time


1) He was able to use many of them, but not all (for example, he could not shapeshift)

2) No, he was a robot.

3) Yes, and I don't have dates for them because I'm not involved with them

4) Yes. They cannot become something way bigger than they are normally.

5) Yes

Comments

1) Just as I though!

2)...

[Weon Saturn]

Say what? The map is a map of the universes? Oh my gosh!!!!!!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/a.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/k.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/a.gif)

Maybe, Greg hasn't confirmed it

[Fusion-X-]

Hey Greg,
First let me say that I have enjoyed reading the web serials this year. I just have a few questions about them, but mainly DM Chapter 6.

1) You have said that Brutaka makes an unexpected appearance in Bionicle Legends #10 (I believe). Is it possible that if Takanuva uses the mask from the alternate dimension that he would give our Brutaka the undamaged mask upon his return?
1a) If not is it possible that Lesovik uses the mask to send Takanuva back?

2) Does Lesovik have any other allies with him in Dark Mirror?
2a) If he does, do we know any of them?

3) If Miserix is to be unleashed by the FoF team, and he is to cause trouble for the BoM, how is he going to do this if:
a) None set characters won't be appearing in the books
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) We have no clue where Teridax is

4) If the Blade Burrowers were not tampered with by the Great Beings, how is it possible that someone in the Matoran Universe knows of the other universe in the map?

5) Does Tuyet actually have a purpose for the Vahi, or is it just another trophy to add to the collection?
5a) If there is a purpose, will we learn of it in the serial?
5b) If not will either Takanuva or Lesovik use it in the serial?

6) Is the DM dimension's Avohkii also in possession of the Toa Empire?
6b) If not where is it located?

7) When exploring Voya-Nui in the DM dimension, did the Toa come across the Ignika?
7a) If they did, was there an attempt to take it?

8) The whole reason Takanuva ended up in the alternate dimension was because of a broken Olmak, but the one in DM is not broken. How is it possible for Takanuva to know he is traveling the right way when using the non-broken Olmak?
8a) Would the broken Olmak not just send him to Karda-Nui in the DM universe?

9) Takanuva is carrying the sundial in DM. How important is the sundial?
9b) Does Takanuva need it in the DM dimension, or does is it needed in Karda-Nui?

Thank you for your time.

F-X-

1) Bionicle Legends #10 takes place before Dark Mirror, not after.
2) Follow the story and find out
3) Why would I want to discuss future storyline plans and ruin surprises for you?
4) Can't answer it
5) It's an object of power. You don't allow objects of power to float around when you are running an empire.
5b) See answer to #3
6) It's on Artakha.
7) Hasn't been revealed
8) You're getting ahead of the story, he hasn't even found the Olmark in the DM universe yet.
9) At the moment, very important
9b) Both

Commentary:
1) Haha, completely forgot about that
2) Meh
3) I was just trying to figure out how Miserix could cause any trouble
4) An attempt to find out more on the map
5) Understandable
6) Wait, if like the Vahi it is a mask of power, why is it there?
7) Hopefully it is...
8) An attempt to figure out how he would get back
9) Wow, Takanuva needs the sundial in both DM and Karad-Nui

[elite vahki]

does anyone know where i can actually ask greg and to get to it

What does this map look like-Is there a sketch of it or no?

[-Wrinkledlion X-]

MKFarion, it looks like this:

Greg confirmed that the map is in the shape of the Three Virtues Symbol. And you should know that the map is a map of more than the Matoran Universe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thank-you

here are some old questions from a while back

QUOTE
hope you can answer some of my questions

March 19th

1) Do the events in Shadows in the Sky, and Swamp of Secrets happen around the same time?
2) Will Miserix have an important role in the summer?
3) I read something about Teridax knowing more about the universe more than anyone. does this help his plan at all or no.
4) Do the summer vechicals have anything to do with the Summer Serials?
6) Are there more than six adaptive armor suits?
7) I read that there were proto-types of shadow leeches. Would some of these be Kratana, or once Kraata , that became Mutated Rahkshi like the ones that Spinners team battled, or Kraata-Kal?
8) Since in DM the toa kill their enimies, does that mean there is a chance they can be recruited by the OoMN?
9) Is there a chance Brutaka never died? I ask this because the Toa Nuva and Takanuva thought Makuta was dead and a month later the Inika discover he is alive.
10) Will we see any Dark Hunters in DM?
11) Were the Toa Hagah a team of six?
-also Were the Toa Hagah ordered to leave Roodaka if she said no to Brutaka?


1) Roughly, yes. Tahu's team leaves the villages partway through Book 9 and go straight into Book 10, so Book 9 and Book 10 then run along at the same time.
2) I can't discuss this
3) The Makuta in general know more about the universe than anyone, and of course it does.
4) Most likey not, they are part of main story, not serials.
6) No
7) The prototypes were dead, mutated kraata found in the ocean some time back. They were not kratana
9) The Toa Nuva didn't realize the nature of a Makuta -- had they known he was energy inside armor and not a physical body, they would have known he wasn't dead.
10) Too soon to know.
11) Yes
12) If she had said no to Brutaka, Brutaka would have probably grabbed her and transported her to Odina, where the Dark Hunters would have executed her.

March 9th

Hello Gregf, I have a few questions-

1-About the BB map-Mutran said they were constructing a map-one that he never seen-Does that mean the BB's map a place on the surface?
2-Do the Light Stones have anything to do with Karda Nui?
3-if a Makuta could shapeshift, could he ride an Exo-Toa?
4-Do the Masks the the Makuta wear shapeshift with them?
5-Are there still lots of Av-Matoran outside Karda Nui?
6-I read that the Av-Matorans hieght increased due to being in Karda Nui, Could that sort of be linked to why Takanuva size increases later on.
7-Did Vultraz become a shadow matoran before/after he discovered Karda Nui.
-Is Vultraz a matoran from the mainland.

Thanks


1) It could mean a lot of things. Are you assuming Mutran has been to every single place in this universe?
2) Such as what?
3) Probably
4) Yes
5) Not really, no
6) You'll find out in the summer
7) Before, and where he comes from has not been revealed yet

keep in mind these questions were asked almost a month ago

[Teridax-MoMN]

Wow. I still can't believe how much Greg's let on. Dark Mirror... Hey... WAIT! What is a Sundial? A thing that uses light to tell time. Light and Time... Greg said that the sundial is very important now. Takky is now in possesion of the Vahi... Could it mean...?

EDIT: Sorry, started to build theory... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Taka Toa of Twil...]

Wait. Are you thinking what I am thinking? Taka gets three elements?

[Takua the Wander...]

I just can't see that happening. It would make him way to powerful, and repetitive, as it was just used in the exact same serial. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

[Falcon-Cat]

1. For a being to give up his/her own light, does this require some sort of discipline? How do the Makuta think it would take for another being beside them to able to give up his/her own light?

2. Did the Makuta learned how to give up their own light on their own? How long did it took them to do so?

3. Why do Makuta view other being as inferior?

1) They have no reason to believe anyone else would have the discipline or willpower to do it.
2) Yes, they did, and it took a look time.
3) Because they are arrogant and egotistical and the fact is they ARE more powerful and smarter than 99% of the beings in the universe. Outside of Mata Nui and Tren Krom, who is actually more powerful than a Makuta?

[Teridax-MoMN]

Wait. Are you thinking what I am thinking? Taka gets three elements?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/a.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/k.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/a.gif)

Not saying that, I'm saying that the Vahi may have something to do with the Sundial. I'll ask Greg...

[Vaka-Nui]

I just can't see that happening. It would make him way to powerful, and repetitive, as it was just used in the exact same serial. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I agree with Ttw. He would be to powerful. Besides, he didn't retrieve the Vahi for it's power; he retrieved it for the Makuta to tell him where Brutaka is, which doesn't matter now because he knows where the Olmak is now.

Man, the map extends out of the Matorna universe? Interesting...

[Nuva King]

1)I recently heard that MoMN's real name was Teridax
1a) is this true?
1b) when(and where) was this info released?
2)Will we ever see Wairuha and Akamai again?
3)will we ever see Takutanuva again
4)will there be a MNOLG style game this year, instead of those stupid mini-games of last year?
5)Is Taka still looking for Krahka now that he has to get the Vahi from Jaller?
6)When willwe learn why the Miskuta(mistika makuta) are stuck in their current forms?
7)What happened to Kardas, last we heard of him he was on Mata-Nui being healed by Gali?
8)What would happen if you removed Toa Ignikas Kanohi ignika from his face?

1) Yes
1b) Bionicle Legends #9
2) No plans for that
3) No plans for that
4) Not this year, no.
5) Since you asked this a while back, you already know the answer by now.
6) Bionicle Legends #10
7) In Metru Nui
8) His body would cease to exist and you would be cursed for touching the mask

some more useless questoins, now that i have the answers. hope it may help some one with a theory, doudt it though

I don't get it, is he still looking for her?

[Lhilertoro]

No, I don't think so. He got sidetracked.

[Mirror Lesovikk]

I'm beginning to wonder why Takanuva needed Krahka so badly anyway. How could he have helped her?

[IgnikaLewa]

Woah! Never thought of taking the Ignika of the Toa of Life would make "his" body disintegrate!

[Zafraz The bring...]

Not really,the maps a pic of the unity,duty,destiny symbol.

[Taka Toa of Twil...]

He is going to get the Olmak from the Coliseum with Lesovikk's help, right?

[Adventurella]

Not sure if I've posted this yet....

Hey, Greg.
I've got a few questions for you:

3.If the element of Shadow is inherently evil, why did Mata Nui give the Makuta control over it?

3) Because it wasn't considered evil until the Makuta rebelled. Some things which are good or neutral become symbols of evil if they are used by evil people.S

But doesn't shadow create dark impulses etc...?

It does if you have a preponderance of it. But every living thing has shadow and light in him, the fact that you have some shadow in you does not mean you are automatically evil. What made the Makuta evil was not just having shadow or controlling shadow but the fact that they rejected the light in them.

But why give the good-doers of the universe an element that is can be controlled by rejecting all light? Wasn't it you that said the reason there was no shadow Toa was because shadow as an "bad" element? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused1a.gif)

But no one had any idea that anyone would 1) want to reject all light or 2) be able to do it in the first place. Think about it -- Chirox used to use his shadow hand to help him in creation of Rahi, many of which were benevolent creatures that helped Matoran. Should that power have been taken away from him? Guns are good for only one thing -- killing people -- but we let our police have them, because we trust them not to go nuts and start harming innocents. Mata Nui trusted the Makuta not to go nuts and start harming innocents too.

[Teridax-MoMN]

Hmmm... So Makuta are like police officers... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

[Lord Zedd]

Well they were like Police officers. That role is filled by the Toa.

[Icarax35]

Dear Greg, I have some questions about Vultraz and Mazeka.

1. Is Vultraz a Ta-matoran turned into a shadow matoran?

2.Is Mazeka a matoran with a vehicle?

3.Are Vultraz and Mazeka enemies?

4.If #2 is yes, then is Mazeka a ko-matoran?

5.I heard Vultraz was the one who brouht the makuta to Karda-Nui. Is this true?

Thanks!

[Teridax-MoMN]

Oh, so they were like police officers...

[Zaktansnake]

You have to PM Greg on the first Page of this Topic in order for your questions to be answered. You also need to have 10 Posts first before you can PM (Personel Message)

Oh, so they were like police officers...

Such a nice analogy. Makuta to Police Officers who go nuts with their Guns or Shadow. Interesting.... So Are the Toa Heroes like Super Heroes?

how often does greg take to reply if i sent a PM?

[Nuhrii the Metru...]

How long? That may vary. Sometimes it's less than a day, sometimes even two or three days. After three days I would suggest you'll resend the PM. But I can tell you that he is quite busy in the moment, so don't be surprised if it takes longer. How often a day? Well, that depends on his time. Usually I see him on two or three times a day.

I think it would take him at least 2 days to reply if he isn't filled with millions of them. I got mine back in less than a day. Asking less questions will get ur PMs back faster.

EDIT: Darn, I was beat.
