The Intergalactic Highway

I was also under the impression that they were part transmetal, which gave them their unique appearances apart from being an amalgamation of two different animals.

Agreed. Well, Silverbolt might not have looked so much as such, but Quickstrike was definitely TransMetal.

But I wonder if we can have Fuzors just without the TransMetal upgrade? Once we hit the second season, then they can be all shiny and pretty.

If it helps I have Feralnight who is a fuzor but never intended her to be a Transmetal, so she could easily be part of this and gain that quality in season 2.

Personally that's what I assume as well. I mean yes the Transmetal thing was important then, but that can't be the only isolated case of a DNA scanner going horribly wrong and making a fusor. We're talking about machinery that goes through the atmosphere and lands on the planet. If it hits something hard enough, things break. Thats why half the cast has some sorta issue with their memory. Tigatron and Airazor didn't remember Cybertron at all, Inferno thought he was an ant. Silverbolt and Quickstrike got so messed up they didn't even know if they were robots.

So personally, I'd like to say Fusors are glitched units. After Season 2, sure they could be hit with transmetal shine to a degree if they want, but no vehicle modes.

Alright then, but what would be the best time to bring them in?

Maybe we can have a stasis pod crash into Waspinator instead of a boulder. Sure, the effect would be devastating and probably threaten the Axalon... but at least we know Waspinator would survive.

Probably be best to have the other pods crash in Double Jeopardy. One of the pods is a flier(with the maximals) and the other if Jet lady wants in at that time can be transported without drowning.

I can bring in Feralnight in one my next posts. Her pod could crash a little ways from the other in Double Jeopardy and she could meet up with the Maximals or run into the Preds.
