The Great Beings would have genetically modified the Vorox and Zesk simply for the sake of research.
There is a vehicle division in the Great Tournament. Pilots in vehicles fight other pilots with vehicles; they don't fight Glatorian or Agori without vehicles.
Greg's reason that Strakk has never won a tournament: "People who habitually cheat tend not to work as hard at building up their skills as people who do not."
On Gelu's heartless persona: "I think that's the impression he gives and how he would probably like to be, but if he was really that way all the way through, he would have abandoned Vulcanus to his fate. He obviously does care what other Glatorian think of him."
The Great Tournament consists of two divisions and produces two champions: one from Glatorian combat and one from the vehicle section. Agori are eligible to win the vehicle division.
Crotesius has won the Great Tournament vehicle division before.
Gelu usually gets paid half up from and half afterward when escorting a caravan.
The vehicle drivers would have participated in the Great Tournament, but the Skrall attack preempted the vehicle division matches.
Ackar fights Strakk in the arena in the movie.
The following have speaking roles in the movie: Mata Nui, Raanu, Berix, Metus, Kiina, Ackar, Strakk, Vastus, Tarix, Tuma, Gresh, and various unnamed Agori who are not sets.
SPHERUS MAGNA
After the Shattering, the EP inside Spherus Magna most likely floated out into space and froze.
"Aqua Magna" means "Great Sea."
Greg tends to doubt that Sahmad's tribe had an Element Lord.
Greg does not consider Element Lords to have bodies entirely made up of their element.
MATORAN UNIVERSE
Mata Nui's was instructed by the Great Beings was to go on a 100,000-year round-trip across the universe. Aqua Magna would have been near to Spherus Magna's original position when Mata Nui was forced to crash-land on it, meaning Mata Nui had been close to completing that circuit.
Mata Nui was not intended as a failsafe for the Great Beings to use in the case of a catastrophe like the Shattering.
Mata Nui was not supposed to bring something physical back from his journey, but rather some sort of knowledge. He had successfully acquired this knowledge and was returning to the remains of Spherus Magna with it. The knowledge which Mata Nui was sent to retrieve was not the information he collected by observing the various planets he visited.
