Talk:Glatorian

We need to get this protected.

Why? Its not even a page. There is no page for it.-- Bioniclepediapodcaster24 ( Talk ) I'm rereading New Moon! It rocks! 00:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Because, people can still recreate it again and again and again after it's deleted. It's already protected now anyway.

Incomplete...
The lists here are incomplete, and it is frankly embarassing how bad this article is... we should either can it until official channels give us the scoop, or finish the article with leaked information (using spoiler tags, of course).

 * No leaked information! No matter if you use 100 Spoiler-tags!  ONLY  official information released by LEGO. Mata Nui http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 21:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Species
What exacly are the 3 species of Glatorian? I know there's Skrall and Vorox, but what's the third kind? Are Gresh, Tarix, Strakk, and Malum all the ame species? BPL 21:51, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup, Skrall and Vorox are two, Glatorian in general is the third. May I ask you to ask questions like this using the forums? Thanks! Panaka  lego  (BP Ad min) 22:37, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, but i thought page discussions were for questions about the topic. BPL  16:46, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This is more for the contents of the article, your question was on the subject of it. See the difference? Panaka  lego  (BP Ad min) 16:58, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Life counter
Do we have a page for the life counter? If not, shouldn't we put something about this in the article?

It should exist on the collectives list. --<font color="Black">Predator <font color="Green">...Dont mess with me unless youre the Terminator or the governer of California...or both  22:14, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Certavus
Um... How come there's nothing about Certavus? He was a Glatorian you know! Someone should create that page.

Edit Conflict
I'm un-protecting this for now. Let's leave Skrall (character) off the list for now until we get something more definitive to work with. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! }
 * No, lets leave it on! Pluto2 22:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)Pluto2
 * That wasn't a suggestion. It's staying off for now. - Daiku { Whine Here } { Look what I did! } 22:06, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Species
So is 'Glatorian' their species or job? If job then what are their species?


 * Glatorian is the name of the job. The name of the species that include Gresh, Malum, Strakk and Tarix has not yet been decided/revealed. M</Font>ata</Font> N</Font>ui</Font> http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif (BP Rollbacker) 14:38, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

My edit
OK, this would be too long for an edit summary, so I put it here;
 * Kiina: Yes, the only known, but we know there are more. On a list of Toa, we wouldn't put something like this: Gali Nuva, Toa Nuva of Water. Only known Toa of Water to wear a Kaukau.


 * Malum & Gelu: They're no longer Glatorian; so they shouldn't be there.


 * Stronius: No Elite Class Skrall works as a Glatorian.


 * Certavus: Moved down to the bottom 'cause I can because he's dead.

 * Feel free to tell me if you disagree with one of these. M</Font>ata</Font> N</Font>ui</Font> (BP Admin) 12:59, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I think we should have a 'former Glatorian' section 'cause now it seems a n=bit confusing with out Malum and Gelu. I agree with you about kiina but why not ackar too? It said he was the 'oldest glatorian' or something. I just took that off so I'm having second thoughts about that.

OH! Brainwave! Why not create a 'deceased Glatorian' section? We need to give notice that Certavus and the Glatorian who died in Atero are dead.

?????????? What did I do?

I know but what's wrong with it?


 * If we have a "Former Glatorian"-section, or anything like that, we would have to write with current storyline point of view (or whatever it should be called). What I mean is, we would have to write as if the current storyline takes place in just this moment, and that would be everything except past tense, which has caused many problems with templates and such. For example; What's the meaning of status or location sections on an infobox if that changes, and we write in past tense? Or, what should one do with the Toa Mahri template, what should one do to Matoro if he can't have (Deceased) after his name, should he be there at all, or should he be treated as if he was alive in current storyline? <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">M</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ata</Font> <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">N</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ui</Font> (BP Admin) 15:04, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Good point, but they were still, at some point in their lives Glatorian, (Matoro was still a Toa Mahri, and since he didn't quit, still is I think!) The past tense seems to confuse me, I'm not sure why, it seems straight forward...


 * Yes, your right. That policy causes much problems/confusion. <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">M</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ata</Font> <Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#000077">N</Font><Font size="4" Face="Mistral" Color="#6699FF">ui</Font> (BP Admin) 15:34, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Mata Nui and Weapons
Shouldn't Mata Nui be in the list? Isn't he a Glatorian? Also, the Legend Reborn scene that just came out gave details about Glatorian weapons. That gives away no plot points at all, so it isn't a spoiler, right? Should that be added to the Powers and Tools section?--Nickthegeek 02:07, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, he's not a Glatorian. Though, I haven't seen the movie, so I can't be absolutely sure. About the weapons, I think we should wait. It is, after all, an important part of the story. <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  05:59, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't add the weapons having power because... they don't naturally. They only have them when Mata Nui upgrades them so they're not really official power begonging to the glatorian or their weapons.
 * Eh... Actually, some did in the Core War... <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  14:53, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

??? Wha...? Is that the core-war contest thing BS01 held?


 * It was confirmed even before I heard of that contest. *goes back to the OGD* <font color="#0055FF">M <font color="#0cacff">ata <font color="#0055FF">N <font color="#0cacff">ui  17:04, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

Edit Reasons
Since this would take too much place to be in the edit summary, I'll say it here:


 * 1) Ackar: Who said he's the first of his species to come into being? He's maybe the oldest alive, but not the first one.
 * 2) Kiina: She's the only employed female Glatorian, which means that she, I'm 99,99% sure, the best/most skilled female Glatorian on Bara Magna. And, it was specifically stated somewhere, that she's the best female Glatorian. Enough said.
 * 3) Sand Tribe: They are NOT Glatorian. End of discussion. (Unless anyone wants to continue the discussion, that is.)
 * 4) Plague Tribe: Same as Sand Tribe.
 * 5) Stronius: Guess what? Same as above.

So... I take it the Iron Tribe never worked as Glatorian? Greg confirmed it? --http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/bionicle/images/a/a4/Ysig1.JPGhttp://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/bionicle/images/c/c1/Ysig2.JPGhttp://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/bionicle/images/f/fa/Ysig3.JPGhttp://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/bionicle/images/c/c5/Ysig4.JPGhttp://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/bionicle/images/3/31/Ysig5.JPG 21:17, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Well... they had members of the species, (ACA Telluris) but I believe their tribe well apart before the Glatorian system was created so, fundamentally, they didn't.
