Erebus Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Greg Farshtey has revealed that canonically: Matoran of Magnetism are called Fa-Matoran.Prefix: Fa (Michael Faraday)Matoran of Plant Life are called Bo-Matoran.Prefix: Bo (botany) Any other information such as Matoran traits or primary locations for the missing Matoran types will be revealed later when I get the info. 1 Quote

Makuta of Time Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Two of my questions have anwsered. Now for the rest. Just one question, why Fa? Quote
Erebus Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Two of my questions have anwsered. Now for the rest. Just one question, why Fa?Well, Michael Faraday was a scientist studying the field of electromagnetism, so I guess Greg decided to go with that prefix. Quote
Makuta of Time Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I see, and Vo stands for volts. But why not Am, for Amps? And what is Botany? Quote
MaksDudekVA Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I just updated BS01 with the new prefixes. 1 Quote Need a voice over done? PM me or reach me at mikolajdudek@gmail.com!
Hitoshura Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Nice to see more new stuff. I don't think there are any unknown Matoran type names now. Also, botany is the study of plants (or something like that). 1 Quote profiles

Makuta of Time Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Okay check, but why not Amps. It is the unit of measure, since the French man Amplie, something like that made the unit of measure. Quote

DuplexBeGreat Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 *Girl scream* OMG this is totally awesome!Agreed. Really, really, great to have so many updates coming, even if they are minor. It shows Greg is still alive, at least. Hope for more major things in the future. Quote idk man
Van Hohenheim Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Fa Matoran and Bo-Matoran...hrm. I did not see that coming well, GregF is still alive, which is good. and just updated the Matoran page on BS01 to include this Quote Previously known as Aiwendil.
Ballom Nom Nom Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Okay check, but why not Amps. It is the unit of measure, since the French man Amplie, something like that made the unit of measure.Because ampere is the unit for electrical current, which is unrelated? If we were going for relevant SI-unit based names, the proper one would be Te, for Teslas, the unit of magnetic flux. Which, incidentally, would sound a lot better than Fa as well. Also, if Te were used, we would already know some of the elemental traits of such Matoran: being recluses and having a fondness for laser pigeons. ~B~ Edited February 28, 2013 by Ballom Quote
amanda113122 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 *Watched my friend goes on Skype because his theory about the prefix for the Plant Life Element was correct* (Not sure if I want to calm him down) Quote :t: :l: :l: . ! * (*Never forgotten and will be still remember in our memories. Long live Bionicle!)
fishers64 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Fa - Matoran is just weird. It sounds so much like Ba - Matoran. Bo-Matoran just kinda felt obvious, however. Although with those three prefixes being so similiar - Fa, Ba, Bo - I think it will be easy to confuse the three. But that's probably just me.

bonesiii Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Okay check, but why not Amps. It is the unit of measure, since the French man Amplie, something like that made the unit of measure."Why not" can be asked of any prefix choice anyways and is therefore irrelevant. If that was chosen, we could ask "why not 'Fa'?" Anyways, awesome. This is the full list, now, right?

Ektris Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Bo-Matoran was the obvious choice, but for that reason it works.Now, Fa-Matoran? That was pretty clever in my opinion, and I like it for that. ~|ET|~ Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."
Sybre Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Bo-Matoran, eh? I have a character who's element is plant life, so this came in handy. Thanks! Quote mindeth the cobwebs
Taipu1 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I'm grateful that Greg is making these things solid canon, but a little voice in the back of my head is saying that he's only fixing these things because it pleases us fans without usurping much of his time at all. Otherwise he'd continue the serials. Edited February 28, 2013 by Taipu1 Quote - Taipu1.HighFly MatoranShowdownBZPRPG ProfilesHave you seen my Blog? I understand if you haven't
Dual Cee Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 First: ALL HAIL EREBUS AND GREG Second: Something strange out here, didn't we say a legal stuff was needed even for prefixes, and since Greg lost tha list he couldn't add more, we explained Vo with the fact it was already comfirmed with the Kraata, but I never saw a Krana/Kraata named Fa, how do you guys explain this? Quote I'm back!
LockmanCapulet Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Thank you Mr. Farshtey and Erebus! Glad to know Mr. Farshtey is still filling us in on the story. Quote
Toa Smoke Monster Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I like Bo-Matoran as the name for Matoran of Plant Life. Fa-Matoran, however, sounds a little weird to me. Though I still like in a way. Thanks for the updates Greg and Erebus! Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.
Kavu Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Hm, well the only surprise here is Fa, it's nice that we're at least getting some information. Quote
The Legendary TNT Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Yay! More matoran prefixes! I am so glad he didn't go with "Gre" for the Bo-Matoran. He probably didn't like it because they are the 1st letters of his name. Thanks Greg and Erebus! PS. After checking BS01, it appears that all of the elemental prefixes for the MU have been assigned!

Makuta of Time Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I think there's still one matoran element that has not been counted. But which one... Quote
Hitoshura Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I think there's still one matoran element that has not been counted. But which one...Shadow Matoran (which isn't an existing type of Matoran except of Vultraz, now in the Melding Universe). For those of you that don't know, Kra-Matoran is not the canon term.

maxim21 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 For those of you that don't know' date=' Kra-Matoran is not the canon term.[/quote']It is according to http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Shadow]BS01[/url] and this http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?app=blog&module=display§ion=blog&blogid=59&showentry=83461]Greg Feed[/url]. So, technically, we now have all the Matoran prefix.

Hitoshura Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Oops. Didn't see that. I just went on BS01 to the list of Matoran types and all of them had (prefix here)-Matoran exept of Shadow (it says Shadow Matoran). Someone's got to update it. Quote profiles

Why would there be a prefix for Shadow Matoran? They were never supposed to be created, let alone have a name for their type. Quote
Toa Lhikan Hordika Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Well this is very exciting news! Glad to finally have prefixes to match to each Matoran element. I still wish the serials could continue at some point. I particularly like the Fa prefix for Faraday. Also could be linked to the electrical measurement of Farads (named in honor of Faraday, so I guess the prefix is linked to both however you look at it). - Quote
