The mods were on a tyrade last week about how the OGD should be a place for concise discussion and posting dialogues with Greg. Then they disappeared, and now we're in a bad spell of people making totally extraneous posts. What up wit that?

BARA MAGNA
• Elemental affiliations in 2009 are based on geography, but tribes are still referred to as the fire tribe, the water tribe, etc.
• Like any desert, the surface of Bara Magna has oases and other such areas.
• The six elements mentioned next year are fire, water, ice, sand, rock, and plant/jungle.

• There is no "Earth" tribe next year; rather, black is Rock and tan is Sand.
• The rock tribe lives in the mountains, and the sand tribe lives in the desert sands.
• Greg, on the free-for-all state of Bara Magna: "I wouldn't describe it as that, no. The tribes are united as such, but they do have a very well-defined social structure that governs their relations with each other. So while they are not "working together," they are also not at war with each other."
• With respect to the Agori and Glatorian -- in one case, the title is a species name; in the other, it is not.
• The Glatorian are all of the same species.
• The "Bone hunters" are among the villains, as they are not the only villains.
• Vorox is not a bone hunter.
• Unlike in the Matoran universe, romance has potential in the 2009 setting, though it almost definitely won't occur in story.
• One female set will be released in summer, as she will be a major movie character.
• Greg likes Malum's character, as well as those of some summer sets.
• We will not learn Mata Nui's personality in the first 2009 book.
• The storyline of 2009 will span probably a couple months.
• The UDD map is going to appear on Bara Magna early on in the storyline.
• The Red Star can be seen dimly from Bara Magna.

MATORAN UNIVERSE
• Teridax will not attempt to conquer Bara Magna, since there is not much there worth conquering.
• Since he already has telepathy, Teridax can now read the minds of anyone in the Matoran universe.
• Not many shadow Takanuva exist on Destral, maybe half a dozen.
• Mata Nui didn't die as a direct result of the virus, but of the damage of his fall.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
• The cosmology of the universe will be dealt with in future storyline.
• The Great Beings created the Red Star (this seems to be important).
• The Red Star's purpose is not to follow Mata Nui as he travels.
• The inhabitants of Bara Magna were the Great Beings' inspiration when they designed the Matoran and other creatures of the Matoran universe.
• Greg would say it's very doubtful that any Glatorian ever personally met a Great Being.
• The Great Beings would know what the UDD map is. Mata Nui and the Makuta should know, but don't. Brutaka knows now.
• The "three that must be one, the two that must make them one" do not refer to the three dots and two outer rings of the UDD map.
• Spherus Magna is not the place to which Mata Nui was headed before he crash-landed on the endless ocean planet.
• The Shattering took place before the Makuta rejected their light.

GENERAL

• Tobduk, Jerbraz, and Ancient were never part of the Hand of Artakha.
• There is going to be a Bionicle 2009 video game.

These intrigue me.

It's typical for Lego to release games on both PC and console -- Bionicle the Game and Bionicle Heroes, for example. I'm sure this one would be too.

Half a dozen Shadow Takanuvas?

 

Did I miss something?

 

No air.. *insert popular song lyrics about some lack of air or something*

 

It seems to make sense that the Unnamed planet is one dot, the Red Star is the middle dot, and Spherus Magna is the other dot in the UDD map. But then, that leaves the "swooshes" to be speculated about.

 

An agoraphobe is afraid of the outside. Agori probably means something like "outsider." Maybe they're not from Bara Magna originally.

Half a dozen shadow Takanuva refers to Tridax's scheme as he revealed in the last Destiny War chapter.

 

In ancient Greece, the agora was the town square or market-place. An agoraphobe is afraid of socializing, e. g. going outside.

New video game? Will it be a fighting game with Glatorians in an arena? Because that would be awesome. Plus it would make sense and possibly be canon.
