The Great Beings ruled the planet of Spherus Magna as a whole as a group; they did not have an overall leader among themselves nor did they break up responsibilities by region.
The following occurred in this chronological order: the creation of the Element Lords, Sahmad's plague 103,000 years ago, the creation of the Mata Nui prototype.
BARA MAGNA
Everyone except the Vorox can and does use vehicles.
The Glatorian probably received their mechanical implants during the war. As for the others' implants, since the war, a number of equipment caches left behind by the GBs have been looted.
Agori in vehicles can participate in the Great Tournament.
Fero most likely received his Skrall-style sword as payment for captives.
Greg, on the traitor's motivations: "My feeling is that he/she figures the Skrall will win in the end and wants to be on the winning side."
There are Agori who live in the wastelands.
Explosive Thornax are used only once in a while in arena matches, and most often in vehicle combat.
Only some of the villages were in Bara Magna before the Shattering. Others, like Iconox, were not.
There are female Vorox, who are essential to tribe life.
GLATORIAN
Both Ackar and Gresh are friends with Kiina and would trust her with their lives.
Greg, on Vulcanus-Malum relations: "I don't think they hate him, but they are angry at him for not being able to control himself and so costing them a Glatorian, and I think they fear him as well."
Raanu's two best trainees get killed in Raid on Vulcanus, which is why there is no replacement for Malum.
Ackar feels his fighting skills have eroded.
Gelu plays a large role in Raid on Vulcanus.
Perditus is a Vulcanus Glatorian, who has chosen to specialize in vehicle combat rather than vie to be a Prime or Second Glatorian.
SKRALL
Female Skrall have pretty much always been shunned. They do not live anywhere near the desert and are not involved in the Bara Magna social system; they live in the northern regions of the Black Spikes.
Skrall who are found guilty of wrongdoing are generally executed to make an example.
There have never been female leader-class Skrall.
Tuma's green Skrall shield is an invention of the movie animators.
MYSTERY TRIBE
Sahmad sometimes stays in Roxtus, he is not from Roxtus. He does not belong to any of the six known tribes.
Exclusive BS01 info from Greg: "Sahmad was a member of one of the tribes of Spherus Magna prior to the Shattering. Around 103,000 years ago, his tribe was decimated by a mysterious plague, and the few survivors were shunned by all other Agori for fear of carrying the disease. Following the Shattering, Sahmad was left stranded on Bara Magna, where he took up residence in the wilderness, all the while developing an increasing hatred for other Agori."
Sahmad is not the only survivor of his tribe, although very few remain.
Sahmad is a slaver, selling captured Agori to the Rock Tribe.
Telluris is an Agori of the same tribe as Sahmad.
Since the plague destroyed Sahmad's tribe, its Element Lords was most likely killed since he or she had no army.
Telluris's Skopio XV-1 was created before the Shattering.
MATORAN UNIVERSE
Skakdi are carnivorous, though they don't need to be. They do it more to frighten others, who find actually eating with your mouth repulsive.
The extra 2007-themed comic will feature Hydraxon vs. Pridak.
Greg would guess the inhabitants of the Matoran universe are all aware that they are living inside Mata Nui's body, since they all heard Teridax's speech.
The amount of EP Mata Nui was sent out with in order to power himself was insignificant in comparison with the amount on Spherus Magna.
GENERAL
Greg says he knows the US release date for The Legend Reborn to be September 15.
Tarix and Vastus briefly show up in the movie. The Skopio XV-1 vehicle does not show up, but the creature that inspired it does. Sahmad does not appear.
