Mr. Farshtey:

 

1) Is it possible for Artakha to forge another set of Great Disks, and if so, could another Vahi be forged from them?

I think I asked this question once, and forgot the answer, so I'm sorry if I'm making you repeat something. Thankfully I now also have a follow-up question:

 

2) If it is possible to forge another Vahi, and this was done on Spherus Magna, would the Vahi influence time on the entire planet, in a certain section of the planet, or not influence time at all?


1) If he had the right materials to work with, yes. But where is he going to get the materials on Spherus Magna, short of a Great Being facility?

 

2) No. The Vahi affected the MU universe, not the universe outside of it.


2) So can the Vahi be used on Spherus Magna even though it doesn't have the larger influence on time in the MU anymore?

Re: Chat with Greg Farshtey

Hello!

 

Another question: how would Psionics and a Kanohi that grants control over a mental ability interact?  Would a Toa of Psionics be able to dispel the effects of a Komau, Rode or Suletu, for example?

 

Also, thank you for continuing to be here.  This might sound cliched, but the community really does appreciate the fact that you set aside the time to interact with us, the fans, instead of doing the most likely innumerable other activities that you have on your plate.

Re: Chat with Greg Farshtey

Are there any other Galaxies outside the MU other than Solis Magna?  And what does Magna mean?

You know, we all change, when you think about it. Were, all different people in our lives. But that's okay, that's good! You gotta keep moving, this is where the road ends for me...

Re: Chat with Greg Farshtey

In Reign of Shadows, Vezon comes across a universe where the Great Beings had built a forty-million-foot-tall mechanical being they named Makuta, who had a brother, Mata Nui, that was plotting to rebel against him.

So,

1) Does this mean that the names are the only difference from the Prime Reality?

2) If the answer is yes. does that mean they have a Brotherhood of Mata Nui?

I don't see how they could have "stuck to the classics." Expecting a bunch of kids who know nothing about original BIONICLE to somehow catch up on nine years of story for the new line would have been impractical. It almost had to be some kind of reboot just to reduce fan confusion.

1) No. Was the Makuta robot good or evil? Why was Mata Nui plotting to rebel, was it for the same reasons Makuta did? And  how many other things were different in the universe as a result of this change?

2) Depends. Makuta was a species in the main reality. If Mata Nui is not a species in the alt. reality, then there would be no members for a Brotherhood.

1) I would say no. From what I have read (because the Psionics Toa element was a fan idea, not a LEGO idea), it has more to do with things like telekinesis and being able to fire mental blasts like MODOK does in the comics. But there's no indication it would make you immune to the masks you mention. It probably would come down to a struggle of willpower, with the being with the greater willpower and mental discipline winning most of the time.

No, not really. We were always pretty careful about making fun of BIONICLE in the old days - we felt that if we did it, so would everyone else.

2) What happened to the Element Lords after leaving of Tarduk's squad? Did they kill each other?
3) How the Matoran naming system is working? Are there something like the database of existing names? Or "system" creates the names itself using various parts of the words?
4) How often do you read BS01?
5) Will the all Xian weapons be used on Spherus Magna? And what happened to Judgement Cannon after all? Will it be used?
 


1) No idea. If I did not put them into story, I didn't spend time worrying about them.

2) No

3) We don't have an official Matoran naming system.

4) As needed, but probably not more than once every three weeks or so.

5) Will they be needed? Right now, there is no war going on. And same answer to your second question.

6) Can you grow Knowledge Tower via Knowledge Crystals on Spherus Magna?
7) What Angonce thinks about the new society of Spherus Magna? Does he support it? Or is he on Velika's side?
8) What is the minimum and maximum temperature that Toa of Ice and Fire can control?
9) Did the Matoran bring all items(such as Book of Chronicles, Bamboo Disks, Air Bladders, Flax, Riggings, etc.) from Mata Nui to Metru Nui(and then to Spherus Magna)?
10) Were the Matoran creating the masks after Kanohi Nuva forms? I mean were there any Matoran that wore powerless masks ressembling Kanohi Nuva forms?
11) Was Tren Krom created after Annona? Since GBs did not remember her at all, but her image was to be deposited in their subconscious?
12) Can the Element Lord of Sand control crystals, since sand is made of tiny crystal fragments?
13) Can you use Ice and Shadow together to achieve Absolute Zero?
14) Can it be possible that telepathic voice that told Matoro to put on the Ignika belonged to Velika? In The Kingdom Alternate Universe, that Great Being never went into exile, and Velika was just a Matoran. As a result, the voice never instructed Matoro to act, which led to Mata Nui's permanent death.
15) What happened to the Toa of Plasma who was attacked by Zaktan? All that is left of him was puddle of strange substance, but it was never confirmed he died. So?



6) No

7) Angonce would never be on Velika's side.

8) I don't have that information

9) They brought what they felt they would need and would be useful in a large city.

10) Not that I am aware of

11) Annona existed before the GBs did. Tren Krom wasn't created until the robot was being built.

12) No. Sand is created by the disintegration of rocks, not crystals.

13) Not to my knowledge, no

14) That was not my plan, no

15) Some things do not need to be revealed.

Given the fact that any Toa of Psionics is going to be relying on strength of mind simply to use their powers, however, and therefore be practising this very frequently, would you say that more often than not they would win one of these struggles?

So you are saying that they would actually be saying "Spherus the great, Bara, the Great, Aqua the Great, Bota the Great, and Solis the Great"?  If so, then I will say, that would be weird.  

 

So, are the Baterra a type of bohrok?  I looked at PZ comic book #8 "Legends of Bara Magna" I saw them and to my older brother and I, we thought they were a type of Bohrok.  Possibly the first designs?

You know, we all change, when you think about it. Were, all different people in our lives. But that's okay, that's good! You gotta keep moving, this is where the road ends for me...
