Regarding elemental traits, there were non-canon polls held on BZPower asking about Bo, Su, Fa, and Ba-Matoran, just to see what people liked (the internal compass idea was actually the most popular in the Fa-Matoran poll). I've put all the poll options in jammers below, to save space; are there any that you like?
Ba-Matoran: Sensing gravitational 'down' direction easily; able to jump higher due to slight grav-shielding; greater tolerance for carrying weight, water pressure, etc. (most popular); naturally heavier; stronger sense of balance; naturally lighter; able to become slightly heavier or lighter at will; resistance to gravity in general
Su-Matoran: Greater heat resistance than Ta-Matoran; eye protection against blinding light (as Plasma could emit) (most popular); bodies glow with heat; more energetic; resistance to light; absorbing sunlight for strength
Bo-Matoran: Skill at cultivating plants; natural affinity for plants; nearby plants grow faster; enhanced reflexes; plants grow in armor; enhanced senses; manipulate plant growth, crossbreeding, etc; innate understanding of plant attributes, such as poison (most popular)
Also, was there ever a concern that Kraata packs wouldn't sell well because you couldn't build a lot of their corresponding Rahkshi (for example, you could get a Power Scream Kraata, but you couldn't build a Power Scream Rahkshi because they are purple)?
As always, thank you for your time!
1) I have no problem with the poll-winning options.
What was your favorite LEGO comic to Wright? I am a big fan and always try to get every book I can get my hands on that you Wright! Well...that has to do with LEGO or bioncle. Big fan!
A few more questions. I really appreciate your effort, Greg
When the Glatorian got their elemental powers, where they actually implemented inside them, or was it just confined to the particular weapon that touched the ignika?
Where is the Marender currently located?
If someone had the spear of fusion, reapaired the Matoran Universe, got a power source for it, and entered their mind into the robot, would it still work? This question is particularly important for my Bio Continuation.
If you saw a Le-matoran walking down the road towards you, what would you do?
1) I believe it would have been inside of them
2) Don't know offhand
3) Probably, yes
4) Probably not talk to him so as to avoid treespeak
Hehe, I thought that would be the answer to the last one
You probably get this question loads, but why do you hate it so much?
Oh and Greg, would this be a good trait for Bo-Matoran; Able to survive for an extended period of time on just light (Like a plant). He wouldn't survive indefinitely, it would just keep him healthy for a bit.
Greg already confirmed that the poll-winners are the elemental traits for those Matoran. Bo is that they have an innate understanding of plant attributes such as poison.

Because it was an enormous pain in the neck. You would be cruising along writing a story and every time a Le- character had anything to say, you had to stop dead to figure out what the treespeak should be.

That must have been really annoying. Here's what you could have done: Wrote it out normally, but later on, translated it into treespeak,. so you wouldn't have to lose the inspirational streak, but you could still keep the slang.
