Talk: Maximal

Revision as of 11:02, 31 May 2006

I... don't really think we need the describe what all the Maximals are doing in each tiny little subcontinuity. That seems really excessive and redundant. --ItsWalky 02:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Total agreement. Drop it all, says I. --M Sipher 03:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Hrm, I'm not the only one working on this I see. My approach is pretty different from what Walky has here, so I'll drop it in as a sub-section when I'm done and let God (or possibly the admin) sort out where/how to include it.-Derik 04:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've been pecking at this for a few days, and I want to know what people think.

"Man is a political animal." -Aristotle Onasis

After the Pax Cybertronia and the end of the Great War, Autobots were no longer able to define themselves in opposition to their opponents— what are Autobots with no Decepticons to fight?

The unifying experience for this generation was the the Maximal Upgrade Program , alter simply called "the Great Upgrade from Autobot to Maximal." The entire planet's population was rebuilt with new technology, downsizing int he proscess. The old parts of Cyberton had to be abandoned and new, smaller-scale cities constructed on top of them.

Cybertron also experienced a population boom. While the planet's population could once have been measured in hundreds or thousands, the capital of Cybertropolis alone has a population of ten million Transformers.

To many of this brave new Cybertron, the Great War was a conflict their ancestors fought in, not one they identify with themselves.

This is what I see as the crux point of what 'makes' the Maximals what they are, which is usually casually brushed aside as 'the Autobots changed their names.'

Am I cracked, or is this importat enough to wege into the entry? -Derik 11:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
