Now that it's the weekend and I'm allowed to have my own thoughts. As someone who lives and breathes sci-fi, I spend a lot of time thinking about political theory; how would you run a Galactic Empire? What would a utopian Federation actually look like? How would you explain democracy to someone...

That's kind-of what's happened in my (by now somewhat convoluted) fanverse: Rodimus Prime received the Matrix, whiffed it, then handed the reigns back to Optimus when he came back. Hot Rod is left with the sense that he's not worthy, and could never be as great a leader as Optimus. Decades...

For that matter, with Prime's MECH, we have a VENOM analogue all ready to go. You could even build in a lore connection: Zordon (or whoever built the Zords) was originally affiliated with the Quintessons (or maybe even a Quintesson themselves); the Zords are based on the same technology that...

Once again, and until the end of time: SARI!!! For that matter, The Headmaster; Henry Masterson. (Also, No-Brainer would've been a perfect G1-esque name for a new character.)
