BIONICLE 2010
• Takanuva changes weapons for 2010.
• Nektann allies with Teridax because he respects power. • "[T]he Skrall are still active on Bara Magna, and when they spot Glatorian under attack by invaders, they join in because they hate Glatorian. They aren't working for Makuta, they are simply taking advantage of their enemies being vulnerable."
BARA MAGNA
• The Skrall did not hold any Zesk in captivity.
• Zesk do not have their own pack leaders as th

MATORAN UNIVERSE
• On the Makuta's villainy: "I see it as there being a fundamental flaw in their design. My thesis all along has been that the GBs are imperfect, so what they made was imperfect too."
• On the communications gear within Mata Nui's consciousness: "It wasn't designed specifically for communication with the Ignika. It is communications gear, period. Tren Krom knows how to use it to contact the Ignika."
• The two Glatorian species members in Mata Nui's

BARA MAGNA
• Mata Nui does not get his shield until some time after he forms his body.
• The Sand Tribe was a very populous force even before the disaster.
• Tarduk borrowed the sand stalkers from Metus. • The Vorox and Zesk's regression had more to do with their psychology than anything else.
• Certavus was one of the founders of the Glatorian system. Tarix got along with him.
• Whether or not Bara Magna was once part of Spherus Magna and whether or not Skrall l

BARA MAGNA
• SPIRIT: "When exactly did the Skrall move south? In the new comic, Strakk mentions that they were at the tournament last year, but I thought they left after that tournament, especially since Tarix won it (which he couldn't have done if there were Skrall in attendance)."
Greg: "No, he doesn't. He says "just like they did last year," not "in last year's tournament." Think of it like this -- we have a tournament in January of 2008. You win. Binkmeister shows up

BARA MAGNA
• Greg, on whether Mata Nui is now more powerful than Toa Ignika: "I would say no, simply because Mata Nui does not have a handle on how to use the mask -- he's never had to use a mask before. Ignika, on the other hand, knew all its powers and how to use them."
• The scarabax beetle is the stag beetle seen on the Bara Magna teaser on the November 08 comic.
• Although the Great Beings did have something to with the Arena Magna's design, it was physically

Does movie Mata Nui have a mouth? \/
GLATORIAN LEGENDS
• Greg: "[The summer line is] being called legends because we had to call them "Glatorian something" to keep Glatorian in the name, and Legends tied in nicely with the name of the movie."
• Mata Nui's new body will not be made of protodermis, since it is made of materials of Bara Magna.
• The Ignika cannot share its thoughts or memories with Mata Nui. • A larger-scale version of the Mata Nui model will be r

Halloween
"Forgive the delay, Turaga." So yeah, I don't have a Halloween costume, and I have lots of cereal in my dorm room. Looks like I'm gonna be a cereal killer this year. Yup.
BIONICLE 2010
• Teridax will be arriving on Bara Magna in order to kill Mata Nui.
• In the Stars lineup, Tahu, Takanuva, and Gresh are the good characters, and the Rahkshi, Skakdi, and Skrall are the bad characters.
• Tahu is reverted to Toa Mata form by the Ignika. • The Great Be

BARA MAGNA
• Greg: "Sandbat is a creature, looks like of like a python with bat wings. Lives under the sand, mostly, springs out, attacks you, then dives back under." Greg would say sand bats are a good 7-8 feet long.
• The water tribe is probably the most economically powerful village, due to its water resources. ● Greg, on the Rock tribe's access to advanced technology: "Has nothing to do with where they live. Has to do with where they LIVED." "Like the Skrall, the

BIONICLE STARS
• The Bionicle Stars will be a part of the storyline, although their smaller size is non-canon, as Toa Mata Nui's larger scale was.
• Teridax will be coming to Bara Magna, which is how the Bionicle Stars characters will factor in to the story.
• On the Bionicle Stars: "Well, two are Toa, one is a Rahkshi, one is a Skakdi, one is a Glatorian, and one is a Skrall." • The Bionicle Stars are named such because they represent some of the most popular char

Decided to go with bold orange dot to hilight interesting ones, for now.
BARA MAGNA
• Inhabitants of Bara Magna are not born with their mechanical implants, and they can live just as well without them.
• Exsidian is a metal that resists wear and corrosion really well (a constant problem in a desert), so it's prized for use as a blade coating, etc.
● Greg, on destinies on Bara Magna: "While I am not saying BM characters do not have destinies (I believe everyone

GENERAL
• "[Raanu] doesn't really want [Glatorian] around when it's not necessary. It's kinda like having a house filled with pit bulls. You feel safe, but you know that you can get hurt really bad if you tick 'em off."
• The Bionicle Stars characters are canon, and the blue Skakdi is not Vezok. • The maze map seen at the end of The Legend Reborn plays a part in the transition story between 2009 and 2010. Teridax appears in the November comic.
• The Mata Nui protot

I got around to finishing MLN this morning, which is good.
Oh, one request: I'm looking for a symbol I can use mark important facts, instead of just • . One's I've tested look dorky. So if you have a suggestion, you can copy/paste it into a post.
BARA MAGNA
• Atero is really only used by Glatorian once a year, for the big tournament.
• There are usually three preliminary rounds before the main tournament in Atero. They aren't elimination rounds; they are more

Tch, what happened this week?
GENERAL
• Element Lords will be illustrated in Legends of Bara Magna.
• Kiina regards Gresh like a little brother. • Tuma and Metus used each other. Tuma was getting information and a go-between with the bone hunters, and Metus was getting a chance to survive the coming war.
• The Agori of the united villages dragged the robotic head from Roxtus because the Rock Agori had fled the village at that point.

And this week's scoop is...
Nothing.
That's right, nothing. Some words of advice for OGD posters: don't try to resolve a string of off-topic posts by contributing to it. All you need to do is ignore it, and it will go away. I promise.
Well, there is one set of Q&A that Jolly Christmas Giratina kindly sent me, condensed here.
RANDOM • The sand bat is a creature that will appear in the first 2009 book and not in the movie.
• Not all of the Takanuva at

BARA MAGNA
• Before the disaster, Glatorian were soldiers.
• Greg, on the Glatorian population: "[There are] not a ton. I don't know that I would attach a definite number to it, as there are always old ones dying off and new ones coming into the profession. On Bara Magna, though, you are probably talking less than a hundred, easy.
• The Glatorian have fighting skills from their military training and from their training with each other. • We have seen the actual sol

BARA MAGNA
• The Element Lord of Water has the ability to project his consciousness into any body of water.
• On the Element Lords: "I don't see them as insane, as that would mean they could not tell the difference between right and wrong. And I don't really see them as evil ... for all we know, the one who won the war might have made life wonderful for all the Agori. I think they are ambitious, power-hungry, often callous and reckless, but those don't add up to evil.

BARA MAGNA
• The Sea of Liquid Sand is like quicksand.
• Greg believes Atero is south of the Bone Hunter camp.
• Greg: "Beware the sand bat." • The giant mechanical body parts scattered throughout Bara Magna relate to future story.
• The rock Agori have always been with Tuma and the Skrall, and they are essentially "support staff" for the Skrall. This is a militaristic group, where the army comes first before anyone else.
• There will be other Glatorian sets thi

GENERAL
• Exactly what Mata Nui's original mission is gets revealed next year.
• The Kanohi Dragon was created by a Makuta. Miserix did not create it.
• On the Matoran universe: "You have to keep in mind that the beings who consider it a universe are the ones who live in it. Basically, Mata Nui is giant robot with millions of nanotech beings inside of him and various mechanical "organs." So in that sense, you could even argue he is more like a synthezoid, a livin

BARA MAGNA
• There are six arenas on Bara Magna, and Atero is the main one.
• Iconox is ice, Tesara is jungle, and Tajun is water.
• The disaster involved in the Vorox and Zesk's regression is dealt with in 2009-2010 story. • The disaster is also involved with the downgrade of technology on Bara Magna.
• The Glatorian system did not exist prior to the disaster.
• Skrall are generally disliked, of course.
• Nothing happens if someone takes his helmet off. The

BARA MAGNA
• The Sand Tribe's regression took place over the span of generations.
• The Bone Hunters are all a part of one single tribe; there are no other contingents elsewhere in the desert.
• On Click's condition: "It's not a curse, no, because Click controls when he transforms. If it was a curse, he would have no control over it. The mask transformed him the same way it transformed Dekar into Hydraxon, to assist in the defense of itself. Without a shield, Mat

Remember
CORE WAR
• There is likely some structure which belonged to the Element Lord of Water that still exists beneath the sea on Aqua Magna, possibly having been discovered by escaped Pit inmates by now.
• Greg would say an Element Lord is a good two times as powerful as a Toa. • Skopio were not employed in the Core War, since they cannot be tamed.
SPHERUS MAGNA
• Sahmad's tribe lived in the forested region of Bota Magna.
• The Skrall's original homeland

Happy Holidays!
BARA MAGNA
• Greg would not say that Thornax grow abundantly. Like water or food or anything else, Thornax are a scarce resource that has to be sought out or traded for. That is why Glatorian have them and not Agori, because Glatorian get first dibs on whatever is found.
• Bone hunters work for whoever has something that they want. They are nomadic bandits. They do not participate in the social system.
• "Bone hunters" is a tribe name. They are

BARA MAGNA
• Skrall may be assigned to hard labor jobs that the Rock Agori are unable to fulfill.

Lots of good stuff!
BARA MAGNA
• There were more rivers on Bara Magna at one time, though there were never any oceans.
• Villages in 2009 will have proper names.
• The villages being shown in 2009 are the only tribes on Bara Magna, at least as far as Greg is concerned. • In most cases, Agori tribes have leaders that are also Agori.
• The masks and helmets worn on Bara Magna are marks of status, in some cases, but they do not have mask powers.

"Forgive the delay, Turaga." Hey look, I'm here. The internet at my school was knocked out all day, which was a pain.
THE LEGEND REBORN
• On Strakk's banishment: "Right after Strakk's match are the rest of the events of the movie, during which time the Agori are a little too busy worrying about Skrall invasion to deal with administrative matters. They will have time to worry about Strakk's punishment if they survive the war." • The aftermath of the attack on Tajun i
