I was thinking about consolidating species and islands--the topic's been discussed in BZP and elsewhere quite a lot recently--and I thought I may have found something that won't contradict anything in Dark Hunters.
I have an idea that Conjurer, Tyrant, Ancient, and The Shadowed One are all from the same Southern Island that Ancient plunged into war. Tyrant and Conjurer were two who individually gave up on conquering the island and left for another southern island to conquer with plans to later conquer other areas.
TSO and Conjurer are from the same species (both have similar heads and builds) which is related to, but not the same as Krekka's species, and Ancient and Tyrant are from the same species (both have similiar heads, tails, and claw hands). Both of the races are based in the same island--especially considering Ancient's home island is one of [shadows and ice] and Tyrant is impervious to extreme cold. The fact that TSO & Conjurer and Ancient & Tyrant have different sets of powers is of no consequence; some of them may have been experimented on in the war.
The fact that they may have been rivals on their island may provide additional reasons why Conjurer and Tyrant are so insolent to the Shadowed One and Ancient.
I think my question is -- why? This isn't a retcon that is going to harm anything, as you point out, but I am not sure what it helps either. It sort of feels like a retcon for its own sake.
Consolidating species is a topic that has been floating around a lot. This would fulfill some of that. It would also
Contribute to all four characters' backstories
Increase the significance of the species of Ancient & TSO
Show effects/backstory of the civil war (despite being described as a great war, effects aren't felt elsewhere in the universe--this would change that). See 777's reasons
Characterize Tyrant and Conjurer
Consolidate species & islands
I can think of other reasons, but I'm almost out of symbols and I have erased as much as I really can
1. The Great Beings have visited other dimensions or they have maybe sent a robot to explore the dimensions?
2. The Great Beings have experimented on themselves to have some advantages like stopping the aging and resist diseases and other benefits?
3. there's something I wonder. The body armor of Gorast has withstood a blow of Pohatu with his Kakama Nuva combined with Photok and his body was not damaged while Takanuva has succeeded to pierce the body of Chirox with a laser. Why Takanuva has succeeded to pierce his body armor with a simple laser?
4. The relationship that Velika had with the other Great Beings, especially with Angonce was it good or bad?
Okay um, so, what do we do? I plan for Jindrexa to fully transform when she lands on Sphereus Magna, but she's quickly transforming in the MU. Oh and do NOT go against Inharax

Guys - Could you take the side conversation elsewhere, please?

1) No, not to my knowledge. They have enough problems in their own.
2) Smart scientists do not use themselves as guinea pigs.
3) Makuta are vulnerable to light. So is their armor.
4) Neutral. They were people he worked with, they weren't his pals.

4. Were there any that he particularly liked or disliked?

2) We can debate that, but the fact is, what have we seen them invent that they could use on themselves? Unless they want mechanical implants (and there is no evidence that they do), I have not seen much in the way of medical breakthroughs that would help organic beings. Their primary work, that we have seen, involves robots and bio-mechanical life.
4) Since the vast majority do not exist as a characters, it's impossible to say. If I had created characters for them, I could say he likes this one or doesn't like that one for this reason, but as it stands, there is no information.
