Why do genders exist in first place? Why give genders to AI-controlled biomechanical robots, who aren't supposed to feel or have separate identity? Did Great Beings program genders to the inhabitants of Matoran Universe, or was it dony by Velika afterwards?

Not to my knowledge. Anatomical differences in most species tend to be related to childbirth and child rearing ... MU characters do not bear or raise children, so there is no practical need for those differences.
On that, how about Glatorian/Agori?
We don't see many "young" Glatorian or Agori, and many seem to have been veterens of the Core War. Do they just not reproduce often because of their long life spans? Were the children there, just behind the scenes, or is Bara Magna such a harsh place that very few of them manage to survive?
2could a great being modify powers that work only on MU beings to work on organic beings as well?
3can Arthaka make more great disks, and by extension more masks of time?
4do MU beings cry?
5If delflik Balta Dalu and Kapura become Toa in the "Kingdom" universe, does that mean they have Toa energy in the prime reality
6according to the wiki Pahrak Kal melted to the core of Aqua Magna and died, but it doesn't have a core or magama, since its just a chunk of Aqua Magna, so is it possible that Pahrak Kal is just stuck in a VERY deep hole
7In Korea they realsed what where called Piraka Kaita, does this mean that Skakdi can form fusions, if so could you canonize those sets?
Buried

We simply did not show them. We had no "child" sets we had to promote and they were not relevant to the story we were telling.

why "Time Trap" has two different versions of cover?
No idea, I only ever saw one cover.
Shouldn't Toa of Air basicly be able to breath better then a regular Toa/Matoran of Water(without Kaukau) by creating an air bubble around him/herself like Lewa did in space during Teridax Reign?
Dear Greg I was wondering
Does the Mask of Creation from the original look like the one from the reboot.
I ask this because with it's many glyphs and very ornate look it somewhat matches the description given in Reign of Shadows. I just want to know because I wonder if an Artahka custom was made by somone using the mask would be acurrate.
Also I would apriciate it if you provided a proper Kanohi name for it, heck name the new ones while you are at it because it would be nice to reffer to them in a better way especialy The Mask of Ultimate Power which really needs a shorter name to go by.

If I had to speculate, I would guess it was because there were female as well as male Great Beings and it made sense to introduce a mix of characteristics into their creation.

1) No idea. I tend to doubt that the creators of the current mask read that book.
2) I can't. First off, I am not involved with new BIONICLE, so I can't name any of the masks for that. And as far as old BIONICLE goes, there are no more legally approved BIONICLE names for me to choose from.
Then why didn't they introduce a mix of physical characteristics as well? Beings of Spherus Magna have physical differencies between genders. If the only point of introducing genders to Matoran Universe is because of the Great Beings had them too, why not make also physical differences between genders?
If the Great Beings wanted their creations to have genders, wouldn't it have made much more sense to make, for example, female matoran look like female and male matoran look like matoran.
Ok then here are some names I came up with if you think they work I will take it as semi-canon.
Creation(old & new): Gracutun
Ultimate Power: Gilagex
If they need tweaking you can try.
Also I will simply say the mask of control is the new Kraahkan due to their shared wearer and similar look.
Hi Mr Greg
Teridax is the first Makuta that has been created by Mata Nui?
Is what Spherus magna has the civilization the most advanced (Great Beings) of Solis Magna system?
With his powers over gravity the Great Spirit Robot can do the same thing that a Toa of gravity and Nuhvok Kal can do with it? and also the GSR can he use his powers of gravity to create a black hole and white hole?
Hey Greg, some questions I've had for a while.
1. Where did the name "Nuva" and "Takanuva" come from? Did Tahu/Takua just make them up?
2. What caused the Red star to shoot toa-transforming lightning at Jaller and co.?
3. Why did Zaktann enter the EP pool with the other beings to make the golden being? Seems like he willingly floated in.
4. The only refrence I could find to Nocturn's death is the book Makuta's guide to the Universe. Was that a cut event from another book that remained canon, like the Inika's trip down the cord?

2) Is it possible for there to be more Kanohi Nuva than the ones we've seen? EG Huna Nuva?
3) Do Sidorak's species and Keetongu's species have a name that you know of?
4) What do the revived... dudes... do in the Red Star have, like, jobs there? What do they do with their spare time?
Thanks!
1) Kanoka could certainly have been brought to Mata Nui
2) Not to my knowledge
3) No, we never gave them names
4) Keep in mind the RS was not designed to hold a population. The risen were supposed to be sent back immediately. So there is no system for them to be employed, etc.
Except of course the Kestora.
