Well, true, but I believe "Ko-Matoran" is used more often than "Matoran of Ice." Besides, there's been a number of times when I've been writing about Matoran of Lightning and have had to put "The Matoran of Lightning said this", The Matoran of Lightning ate a cake", "The Matoran of Lightning got pummeled into the ground by a Vahki." It's good to spice things up by adding in a different phrase to describe a character, which is exactly what they new prefix allows us to do. :P
