Well Ileena, you wanted to follow in Teela's footsteps. Getting out of the trouble Adam puts you in is par for the course.

Even without going to Etheria, there are a load of women to choose from who've had maybe one cartoon episode or a couple of comics over the years. In my own writing, I made an obscure pull: Lt. Dian from the 80s newspaper strips (best described as "rank of an officer, attitude of a sergeant")

Especially as going off what we've been told, we would have seen her be the warrior that she once looked up to, representing the duty her friend abandoned.

Making the New Etheria design look badass.

Picture this for a reworking: this art of Rev. Teela, but instead it's Rev. Ileena (same uniform, different colours) and she's looking at the headdress because it symbolises her taking up her idol's mantle as Captain: nathankroll.com/masters-of-t...

And even if not, it's clearly a necessity to throw on some removeable gimmicks in order to legally have a classic Adora.

When it comes to evil counterparts, just like most other things, his sister (in the next wave) is far more interesting.

No way, two can play....Sic 'Em!

Toy-based Jetfire model in early July.
Skyfire redesign in mid-September.

In the minicomic, the Autobots launch their historical archives into space when the Ark is attacked, it lands on Eternia, Duncan finds it, as does Skeletor.
Why Starscream and Scare Glow? Because one of the recurring tropes of the franchise since 1986 is Starscream coming back as a ghost.

Meet the new generation.

Quite literally inspirational, in more ways than one.
