Interesting! Su fits to me, though I've never really been into prefix conversations here on the forums. Still, it's nice to hear a bit from Greg!

Did he saw why they are called Su, or what the prefix Su means.

Are there any Matoran left that we don't know the prefix for?

Awesome! Glad to have yet another elemental prefix under our belts. At this rate, it's hopefully only a matter of time before the prefixes for "The Green" and Magnetism are. It'll be nice having them all revealed.

...And another question is answered. I like the prefix 'Su' for the Matoran of Plasma. And as others have already said, its great to hear from Greg again. Hopefully he reveals what regions they prefer to live in. That would be interesting to learn IMO.

Sun?
I had no idea either so I typed "plasma su" into google and that was one of the autocomplete options. Makes sense. Too bad that this time our poll's winner wasn't chosen. (That was Io.) But we can't all, and most of us don't.

Great to hear from Mr. Farshtey again. Also, I like this prefix.
This is one of my favorite feelings. The can pops open (after a little prying with a fingernail) and the pieces pour onto the table. I examine some of the more interesting parts- the hands, the weapons, the mask, the projectile- and begin to build. Usually, I don’t use the instructions, figuring out the model by looking at the picture on the can. I typically start with the torso, then move on to the arms and legs, then lastly add the head and mask. The completed figure stands before me, weapons ready, imposing despite its six-inch stature. If I particularly like the model’s look and design, it goes on the shelf for all to see (after I pick off a few bits here and there for use in later models). If not, it comes apart, “donating” its pieces to a future creation.
I love Bionicle.

And if a Su-toran ((am I the only one who tends to drop the 'Ma' from 'Matoran' when ever possible? i.e. 'Av-toran')) then does something, it's called a Su-do.

If Ninjago is having a 6-month break like the rumours say (or whatever they say), would that mean Greg has more time for us and making revelations like this for us?
I know it'd also mean more time for his daughter, but he might still have a bit of extra time for his fans too.

Do shadow matoran really count as a breed of matoran? Being a shadow matoran seems more like a disorder...
Does Scavenger Va mean that I am downgraded?

It actually does count as a breed of matoran. Their element is forcibly changed, and they become evil. While the whole evil thing is closer to a disorder, the elemental changing classifies them as a separate tribe. Just so this is clear, Kra has not been officially confirmed as the shadow prefix.

Do you have the actual link of the topic/page that proved that Greg F. confirmed Kra is the prefix for Shadow Element? Cause I saw a topic, which was closed by a user, Electric Turahk who also posted (on that closed topic) that Kra "isn't really confirmed as canon".

I found that with this old Farshtey Feed, in the "Matoran Universe" page. The source is linked.
