Well I know that, but what role does he play?

[Wrinkledlion X]

Enemy of Vultraz.

[Cosmo Kramer]

13) Are the Piraka really fish or just snakes or eel like creatures?

14) How were the Piraka captured?

15) Is Zaktan still made of protodites? If so, is he actualy partly happy about the mutation?

16) I just made MAzeka and discovered that the set uses almmost all old pieces and 3 new pieces. Can the circular center thing allow the top part to pivot on the quadraped or is it stationary?

17) Is Mazeka the Ignika's matoraN BACK RIDER?

18) What happened to the other Birraki and Takadox?

19) When will the next set instructions come out?

20) What will happen to the Voya Nuians when Voya Nui sinks back below the surface?

21) Will Lewa ever get that air Katana that was supposed to be forged for him?

22) What would have happened if the piraka finnished the test in the chamber of truth with the cylinder prisons that went up above them?

23) The underwater passage continued forward but the Piraka instead continued upward intil they got to the Bridge. Where did the water passage end?

24) Which path did Vezon take, left or right?

25) What would Kardas have turned into if he fell back into the lava again?

26) What transformation (small) occured to the piraka after swimming in the pool of protodermis in the hope of escaping their fiery death?

27) Would the path the Piraka took still lead to the mask of life chamber or just a dead end?

28) Would opening the hatches in the Piraka's cylinder test AT THE SAME TIME really have helped them or would they still fall into the pool of liquid protodermis and jets of flame?

1) If Bohrok ar av-matoran, than what are bohrok va, bohrok kal, and the Bahrag?

Hold the bus, when did the Bohrok suddenly become AV-Matoran? Did I miss something?

Spoiler from BL #10, I'm guessing. I still haven't read the book. XD

Try wikipedia under book ten...

[Greg2660]

DGH - 1) Hasn't been revealed why antidermis works on Brutaka as it does, but no, the EP zamor spheres would not reverse the effect. Unlike the Matoran, who were being influenced by the antidermis, Brutaka actually absorbs it into his system, so it does not exist as a separate entity inside him. 2-4) Don't recall, it was two years ago. 5) Not that we have seen so far. 6) Since we only have six more months in this universe, no, I don't plan on going back to the Bahrag. Since the Bohrok got released, did their job, and went back to sleep, no real reason to bring the Bahrag back into story now. 7) Nuju taught him. He is perfectly capable of speaking Matoran, he just chooses not to, and if he wanted a translator, he would have to use Matoran to teach him the language. 8) Krana are made by the Bahrag and they control the Bohrok the way a driver controls a car. 9) No. A Matoran is a sapient being who is bio-mechanical. Bohrok are not sapient and are completely mechanical, with no organic parts. 10) Yes, it was random. 11) Mata Nui awakening. 12) It can't. 13) Like sea snakes. 14) Axonn captures them in Book 8. 15) Yes, and no, why would he be happy that he can't breathe air and has no arms or legs? 16) I don't have the set, so can't answer this. 17) No. Ignika has that connection in case kids want to put a Matoran on him in their play, he won't have a Matoran rider in story. 18) The other Barraki are still in the ocean, and Takadox is trying to escape the island he's on. 19) What set instructions are you referring to? 20) That has already happened, it happened at the end of last year. 21) Yes, and he left it on Artakha when he got his adaptive armor and weapons. 22) They wouldn't have wound up in the water, and so wouldn't have mutated. 23) No idea, since we didn't follow it to the end. 24) Why is this relevant? 25) Since that didn't happen, not something I worried about. 26) The first subtle hints of the major transformation that took place. 27) Right now, it would probably still get you to the chamber. 28) Yes, it would have helped them. A test where you meet the same fate if you succeed or fail would be a stupid test.

Xanxost -- I suggest reading BL #10. Just reading spoilers hurts sales of the book and makes it more likely that eventually there won't be any books. (We are down from six novels in 2004-2005 to two in 2009, so we're not far from none.)

[DEATH PANDA]

Errr...

What's the Matoran equivalent of the term "Rube Goldberg contraption"? >_>

I came up with "Artahkan method"- but this would only be valid if Artahka lacks common sense to use a simple solution for a simple problem, instead using a complicated method with lots of pulleys and levers that is activated by something like a hamster tipping over a line of dominoes.

[Cosmo Kramer]

1) Isn't the Codrex the dome that protected the toa before?
2) If there was an energy storm before, does that not meanthat Mata Nui was once asleep before?

[Greg2660]

DGH - 1) The Toa were in the Codrex, but also inside their canisters when the storm hit full intensity.
2) No, Mata Nui was coming into being before. The last storm was 100,000 years ago when the Great Beings first created Mata Nui.

[Toanoopie]

1). Do Artakha and Mata Nui care about individual lives?
2). What would you think about selling BIONICLE books as audio books* too? (Don't start talking about Lego's budget, audio books aren't that expensive to make).

*Narrated books, recorded on CD's.

[Cosmo Kramer]

1) In the Kingdom, couldn't the MoL still be found by another toa and used to save mata nui? To get into the Karda core, the toa could go the same way that the Makuta did and Matoro used the mask after Mata Nui died so there would be no problem, right?

2) What was the order of the stories "The Kingdom", "Dark Mirror", "Book Nine", and "Book Ten" go in?

3) Why didn't Hewkii use his mask power when fightng Gadunka the first time in book eight?

4) I thought that Gadunka was electricuted, how did he get shrunken then if the electricution killed him?

[Mega ToaX]

How did kopaka lose his vehicle? Did Antroz hijjack it?

[Greg2660]

Toanoopie --- 1) Artakha does, yes. Mata Nui does not, anymore than most people would care about the ants who live in their house unless the ants annoyed them somehow. 2) I actually talked to Scholastic about that a year or two ago. Outside of Harry Potter, audio books aimed at kids don't sell well, because they tend to be too expensive. If BIONICLE fans aren't willing to spend $5 for a book, they won't be willing to spend $30-$40 for an audio book.

DGH - 1) Too late. 10,000 years have passed, it's too late to revive him. Sort of the same way after a certain amount of time it's too late to revive a human who dies, because of all the damage lack of oxygen does. 2) BL 9, BL 10, Kingdom, JOT, and Dark Mirror - that's the order. 3) Because Hewkii wanted the challenge of beating him without relying on his mask power. 4) He wasn't killed by the eletrocution, just stunned. Toa don't kill their enemies.

MegaToaX- Hasn't happened in story yet, so you'll find out when it does.

[DEATH PANDA]

Mr. Farshtey
1) *removed*

2) Can Toa/Turaga/Matoran of Magnetism DO THE HOMING PIGEON?

3) Do Toa/Turaga/Matoran of Magnetism have a good sense of direction even if they can't "Do the homing pigeon"?

4) What is the most annoying type of question for you to answer?

5) If you were in charge of BIONICLE design for the next year... what would you do? DOn't worry! It's unlikely the current design staff will object to what you say here as they obviously don't go to websites like this.

6) So, Zaktan cannot breath out of water, and his form is currently locked to an eel? Because if those weren't the case... he might have transformed into a form that can easily escape the tank already.

7) I once asked if Matoran can digest rock. You never answered. So... can they?

8) Do the elements in BIONICLE exist in a "rock-paper-scissors" heirarchy? For example, Plant Life is beaten by Fire, which is beaten by Water, which is beaten by Lightning, which is beaten by Rock, Which is beaten by Earth, which is beaten by Plant Life, which is beaten by Fire? It wouldn't make things worse if they did.

9) Speaking of which... Can Toa of Earth use their Earth elemental energy to absorb Lightning-based attacks with ease? Because... Lightning is electricity, which can be Earthed.

10) Can Toa of Magnetism change the magnetic field acting on a piece of metal to generate a current across it?

[Cosmo Kramer]

What shocked the matoran, Piraka and toa in the stone cord in to voya nui from mahri nui?

[Greg2660]

TOW - Is it possible for you to ask questions and leave out all the attitude? This is something I do on my own time, for fun, and having to wade through all this extraneous matter is a chore.

I just removed a lot of 'extraneous matter' and increased line spacing between questions. Try them now.

[Cosmo Kramer]

1) How did Jaller pick up the mask of life and throw it to matoro without being cursed? If he was, what was the curse?

2) What were Kratana made for?

3) Is Sarda helping out in the pit now too?

4) Are the Birakki recaptured?

5) Couldn't a Birakki build the water tank like Idris and walk up the stone cord to escape the pit? They could become evil again by doing so? (well more evil)

6) Is that blood on Pridak's face/armor , back spikes and sword like teeth?

7) What sealed the top part of the southern continent. (VOYA NUI FELL THROUGH THE TOP AND LANDED ON THE BOTTOM WHERE Karda Nui was) sorry, cap locks!

[DEATH PANDA]

Who scared off Mr. Farshtey more? Me, or Dr. House?

[Mega ToaX]

maybe both.

Mr Farshtey, in BL#10, I don't think it mentioned pohatus or lewas vehicles. why? are they to use them to escape karda nui when the energy storm comes?

[Cosmo Kramer]

If I am not correct, they are used to... Kick Makuta... butt!

[Greg2660]

MegaToaX - The vehicles do not come into the story until later. The Toa make use of them in BL #11.

More answers later on ...

[Mega ToaX]

When should BL#11 be in stores?

[Toanoopie]

I think there's a slight error in the Bionicle storyline:

-BS01 states that "The Order of Mata Nui Leader"(Toa Helryx) was also the leader of The Hand of Artakha.

-BS01 states that "The First Toa" was created AFTER the disbanding of The Hand of Artakha.

-I know Helryx is "The First Toa".

Is any of these facts incorrect? If not, what have I misunderstood?

Also, do you know when the Mistika will be in stores in West-Europe (more specifically in Belgium)?

[Mega ToaX]

Is a toa armor flexible? Or is it separated into sections, to allow lots of movement?

[Cosmo Kramer]

1) How did Jaller pick up the mask of life and throw it to matoro without being cursed? If he was, what was the curse?

2) What were Kratana made for?

3) Is Sarda helping out in the pit now too?

4) Are the Birakki recaptured?

5) Couldn't a Birakki build the water tank like Idris and walk up the stone cord to escape the pit? They could become evil again by doing so? (well more evil)

6) Is that blood on Pridak's face/armor , back spikes and sword like teeth?

7) What sealed the top part of the southern continent. (Voya Nui fell through the top of a dome and landed on the bottom sealing the gap in Karda Nui. There is now a giant hole in the top of the dome. How was this sealed? (Karda Nui couldn't have sealed it because it fell through it to the bottom).

8) Will we be learning about the Hagah masks in the next Bionicle online story seriels?

9) What are the new names of the stories? (Fed of Fear, Mutran Chr, Dark Mirror)

[Mega ToaX]

What is Lesovikk currently doing?

[DEATH PANDA]

anyone notice DGH is asking piles of question even though GregF is out and is asking questions that have already been answered at least a few pages ago, and at least a dozen times, and that he is asking troublesome questions that GregF cannot answer?

and that he is annoying and uses smiley faces too much?

and you guys thought my arguing with Mr. Farshtey was bad...

Dude, chill. Most of these questions have been answered long ago, and notice the huge backlog of questions there is for Greg to answer.

You can pretty much find all the answers to these questions on Biosector01, and if you can't, it either: 1) Isn't important at all, 2) Will be answered in the future, so Greg probably won't tell you.

[Cosmo Kramer]

Thank you. I do have one more question though... The toa phantoka transformed in subtle ways when going to halp the toa Mistika in the Swamp. They are seen withought their jetpacks and other flying things. My question is, did Kopaka's armor adapt when he still had the Jetrax? Did it change back after the Jetrax was stolen?
