1) The wings were not created by losing light, they were created by Mutran's mutations. Getting light back does not undo mutations.
7) Huh?

1) Will they undo the mutations or will they keep the wings then, after light regain get?

7) Krakua talked to Toa Vakama because he had a Krataana on, and he had to talk to Vakama- so he telepathically sent a message to Vakama in the past. To make sure that hapens, he has to put on a Krataana in the current period of time.

I was thinking Turaga Vakama would realize this and maybe comically slap him in the face with a Krataana ("Hey Krakua!" "Yes?" *SHLAP*).

[Cosmo Kramer]

1) What happened to the Piraka? How!!!!!! F I S H

2) Also, the chute was in the book 9 (movie one). Does that count. It was used to get to Keetongu.

3) The "other toa" meant the ones like Mahri. What happened to them? Metru Nui still?

4) If Takanuva was attacked by Icarax, then how did Icarax get back into the now sealed up Karda Nui?

5) Where are the other 50 toa? How many toa were there before

[Imatron]

If I understand it correctly, having the light drained and the mutations were two different things, as Greg said. If the light is restored by putting it back in, that would restore the light, but since the light draining did not cause the mutations restring it would not fix the mutations. They would have to be mutated back into thier original forms. So restoring their light will not trigger a mutation back into their original forms.

Also, could you clarify what a krataana is? Kraana are what "piloted' the rahkshi, krana are what controlled the bohrok, and it sounds to me like your mispelling something for Kraatana, or have I just missed out on something in the story called krataana?

Kratana

He did spell it wrong XD -RR/Swert

[Greg2660]

TOW - 1) Depends on if they have a way to undo the mutations. They certainly will if they can, but offhand, I can't think of anyone with the specialized knowledge needed to do that work. Maybe Karzahni, if he was sane ... 7) Krakua was not wearing one when he sent the message to Vakama, Vakama was wearing one when he received it.

DGH - 1) The now mutated Piraka are prisoners on Daxia. 2) Yes, it was one of a number of underwater chutes that are normally not used because they are damaged and dangerous. 3) Yes, Metru Nui still. 4) There's a portal on the western side of Karda Nui, through which Vican exited to go find Icarax to start with. He came in through there. 5) At one time, there were hundreds of Toa -- we know there were more than 300 Toa involved in the Toa-Dark Hunter war. And the other Toa are scattered around the universe, looking after their own Matoran.

And how did Krakua sent telepathic message to a person many years in the past?

Please note that saying that it's something the Suletu can do will prompt the question of why didn't Kongu have a telepathic conversation with the Toa who went to Voya Nui many years ago so that the Inika can get tips from them on how to get through to the MoLi

[swert]

Well other than they didn't have Kratana on their masks? Probably because it was someone else in the FORM of Krakua? -RR

[Mega ToaX]

So are we going to see chracters at a Mata nui scale? And, when the sudden change happens, shouldn't the company be afraid that some of the older fans might not like bionicle anymore?

[Greg2660]

TOW - The way I see it is, Krakua sends a telepathic message out, which Vakama is able to see because he had a kratana on, which we know grants visions of the future. "But wait," you say, " how could Krakua know he would have a kratana on and be able to receive the message?" Because it had already happened ... and this is why time travel gives us all such a headache.

MegaToaX - Of course that's a risk. But so is staying the same course we have been on, and having the old fans of the original story age out of it and new fans not be able to understand what's going on. They both have their risks, we just opted to go with the new and different risk rather than the one we are used to.

[Bundalings]

I'm good with the switch, just so long as we see our old faves from time to time in serials.

Oh, and Greg, will we be seeing Purple in sets anytime in the foreseeable future? Could you put a word in? 'Cause that seems to be the most missed color among online fans...

Oh, now I get it- Krakua releases the brain fart into outer space sometime in future, Vakama in past with Kratana picked up it and then hurry up the cakes. Sense is made now!

Please tell me that our main canister set heroes will still be Toa in 2009!!!

Quoted due to screen stretching. Post was deleted. -RR

[Mega ToaX]

Since we are going beyond, are we going to see different elements, great beigs, etc etc?

[Greg2660]

Bundalings - I haven't got any influence on set design or colors. I can certainly mention your suggestion, but that's about all I can do.

Toanoopie/MegaToaX - I can't discuss 2009.

[*Tahu_Nuva_Ninja*]

Greg, is Icarax now back to muscle and tissue because of what Ignika did to him in BL#9?

[Greg2660]

He's back to being bio-mechanical, that's correct.

[Cosmo Kramer]

1) What could the ignika possibly do to Icarax that was a curse. Did he really like being in a gasous state?
2) The toa hagah had masks crafted by inslaved matoran (BoM) that looked like the famous people. What were the other four masks? Who would have worn them?
3) WHAT WERE THE OTHER FOUR ARMOR COLORS AND FOR WHOME?
4) What were their toa tools? What did they do/look like?
5) What were the other mask powers?

*) The Hagah were I think one of the best sets. Will they make the other four?

Mutran has a loose screw too.
They could threaten him with their Midaks to undo the mutation.

But if I was one of those Matoran- I'd keep the wings.

[Toanoopie]

1. Why is Krakua in Metru Nui?
2. Iff someone would have asked you in 2007: "Will the 2008 heroes be Toa?", would you have answered:

a)."I can't discuss 2008, b)."Yes, they will be Toa" , or c)."{Other answer (explain)}?

[Greg2660]

DGH - 1) Being turned back into bio-mechanical when your armor is not designed for it is like taking a six-foot tall man and stuffing him into a two-foot long box. 2) Hasn't been revealed yet, but don't assume the Matoran were enslaved -- the BOM was not openly evil at that time, so they weren't going to be going around enslaving Matoran. 3-5) Again, hasn't been revealed yet. Most likely will be when we do the Hagah serial in summer.

Toanoopie - 1) Because that's where the OOMN needs him to be right now. 2) I would have answered that I can't discuss 2008. It's pointless to ask me questions about a coming year this early in the year before -- people get fired at LEGO for leaking info this early.

[Crono]

Who's Krakua?


(Sorry, dont know much)

[Ceric Neesh]

First off, it's great to hear that we'll be getting more stuff about the Hagah this summer.

Now for questions:
The Mutran Chronicles are pretty much through with recap and getting into current events, correct?
Can you give us more information on the Swamp, now that we're almost into summer?
Are there any other Makuta in the Matoran Universe who would rebel against the others if given the chance? Or is Spiriah the only one?

[Greg2660]

Crono - Toa Krakua is a Toa of Sonics, who was the winner of a "Toa Building Challenge" we did in LEGO Magazine a while back. He appears briefly in BIONICLE Adventures #10: Time Trap, and his second appearance in story will be BIONICLE Legends #10: Swamp of Secrets, out next month.

Ceric - 1) I haven't decided how current it is going to become. I have two chapters left and over 1300 years still not touched on, but odds are it will get up to the point where they are going to invade Karda Nui.
2) Such as what? Ask and I will let you know if I can answer
3) Spiriah really did not rebel. He was kicked out of the BOM because he was deemed incompetent by Teridax and sentenced to death. As such, he has no reason to support the BOM Plan, since he will not benefit from it, and, he can't risk Brutaka's employers letting the BOM know where he is.

[Toanoopie]

1. Which summer story serial is going to be the audio one? Mazeka, Hagah or the other one?
2. So it is possible that the 2009 heroes will be Toa, right?

[Greg2660]

1) I haven't decided yet
2) I can't discuss who the main characters for 2009 will be.

Greg

[Ceric Neesh]

1. Ah, okay.
2. What is the biggest danger in the swamp? The water itself? The rahi that now lurk there? Or something else? And if so, what?
3. Rephrasing it: Are there any other Makuta who, if they had any sort of backing at all, would not support The Plan? Or is Spiriah the only one, due to his circumstances?

[DEATH PANDA]

Mr. Farshtey, does the Matoran universe have a magnetic field?
Can a Toa of magnetism use this field to levitate?
Does Magnetite exist in the BIONICLE universe? I was just the thinking that a Toa of Magnetism would extract metal particles out of the sand using his power and attack with it. Would you recommend to Toa of Magnetism to carry a large iron pot filled with iron powder on their backs?

[Greg2660]

Ceric - 2) Um, the fact that there are three Makuta down there?
3) Icarax doesn't support it, and Krika thinks it will lead to nothing good but is generally too fatalistic to think he can stop it. But the only way to actively rebel against it successfully is if you have a better plan -- right now, the only other plan is Icarax's, which amounts to, "Kill anyone who opposes you."

TOW - 1) Possibly
2) A Toa of Magnetism can levitate using his powers, yes
3) No. Things like extracting metal particles out of the sand fall under the category of
"too cumbersome to stop in the middle of story and explain to an 8 year old what the heck he's doing"

[Mega ToaX]

How do toa supply there elemental energy? Do they draw it from their surroundings?

[Toanoopie]

I know you aren't allowed to read fanfic, but this is just a minor thing, allthough it would be fun to include into the story: Mutran is very, very, very in love with Gorast, but Gorast hates Mutran. What do you think about it?
