    Isn't Lord generally the title of the Decepticons.

    Are these cavities ever used for personal belongings or some utilitarian way?

    I can only think of Megatron bearing the title Lord. Maybe it's just a title he gave himself when he founded the Decepticons or took command.

    I've started watching Victory and the Dinoforce gave me the idea of a toyline where Transformers link to organic dinosaurs by turning into armors, weapons and gadgets for them to carry. Basically Dino riders but with Transformers instead of humans. That sounds pretty cool as a toy concept, but good lord, good luck writing a premise that's not entirely stupid.

    In the Japanese series the Con leader is called the Emperor Of Destruction. Or is that an unofficial thing?

    I like that idea for a gimmick. Sort of the opposite of fossilizers and it makes more sense. It could also be expanded to include modern animals, etc.

    I always thought it was too bad Beast Wars didn’t have its own alternate comic series a la the Marvel comics for G1. I would have liked to seen a take on BW that took influence from the aesthetic of the toy box art and bios.

    Cliffjumper should have Springer's pogo stick ability so that he can actually, you know, jump cliffs. Springer turns into a helicopter so it's not like he needs it anyways.

    Idea that @ghostyurei gave me, and let me use for my fanfic.
    Cybertron, or, Seibertron, as its called in my fanfic, is a Dyson Sphere, one built around an Energon Star by the Quintessons, as the primary factory for their D-Line and C-Line of robots able to change their shape, who eventually rebelled, forming the Primal Vanguard to govern themselves. After billions of years, the leader of the Primal Vanguard's military, General Megatron, formed the Decepticon Union with others due to his fear that Seibertron's military was growing weak, especially with all the threats Seibertron faced. What was left of the Primal Vanguard reformed into the Autobot Alliance, which wanted to focus on demilitarizing and getting into touch with other forms of life beyond Seibertron, and both factions fought a bloody war over who gets control. The idea Yurei had was the Dyson Sphere part, the rest is all me.

    My thoughts on how the Matrix works:

    Any Transformer can use the power of the Matrix by merging it with their spark (through their spark cavity, which all bots come with). But because of its semi-sentience it will only work on a being truly pure and worthy to wield its majesty.

    If omega supreme launched his rocket and the Base was destroyed immediately after... Would it re-appear when he landed on the moon

    People complaining about kibble on certain designs kinda really bugs me ngl, like we get it that character has animal limbs hanging off their back, oh it's so terrible...but Optimus having windows for tits or seekers having wings (and typically nosecones hanging off the back of their necks) is completely fine? Like, not every piece of alt mode that doesn't tightly compact into a perfect human with cube limb form or match G1 sunbow is kibble or is a sin against Primus and his shiny silver world.

    I agree!!! The only bit I'd like to add is that it's not predetermined who can wield the matrix, I like to see it like Mjolnir in Marvel, like, sure, Thor was basically born to wield the hammer, but he can lose it (like in Thor 1) and people can become worthy, like Steve Rogers. Cause I just wanna say I hate the idea that you are BORN worthy to Mjolnir or the Matrix (like in some continuities)

    I'm personally fine with the Matrix only being useable by certain characters/destined for someone. If it's just something that anyone can use just by picking up, what's different about it from a library computer or something? And besides, a character's worth shouldn't be determined by if they can use the matrix or not, what makes a character more impactful, rising to the occasion and getting the participation prize of using the matrix to show they're special too, or proving their special and important without having to use some fancy god trinket, that they might not have been born for greatness like Rodimus Prime or something but can still do great and important things.
