dear vector prime, is there a version of evac from the idw1 continuity? was he a knight of cybertron like live action incarnation?

Dear Evac Evaluator,

No, the Evac of that universe was not a member of the Knights of Cybertron. In fact, he bore a great resemblance to the Evac that I came to know during my time searching for the Cyber Planet Keys alongside Optimus Prime and the Autobots, transforming into a blue and yellow rescue helicopter. He was one of the many who called for reforms and the end of Functionism alongside Megatron and his followers. However, he was disgusted when the planet erupted into war, and ultimately left Cybertron with many of his fellow Cybertronians, under the leadership of Metalhawk. Upon the war’s conclusion, he returned to Cybertron with his fellows, but was among the few who did not support Starscream as leader, as he remembered living as one of the Seeker’s constituents prior to the war. He survived the various crises which befell Cybertron, including the coming of Unicron, and came to settle down on Earth, where he ultimately partnered with the United States Coast Guard as part of a cultural exchange between the United States and Little Cybertron.

I do, however, know of another incarnation of Evac who served as a Cybertronian Knight. A young warrior from a technorganic Cybertron who possessed both helicopter and assault buggy modes, Evac's skill as a swordsman saw him recruited by Knight Commander Ginrai into his elite order of Cybertron's defenders. Noble, idealistic and selfless to a fault, Evac's personality clashed heavily with his fellow recruit, the grim and pragmatic Crosswise… which is why everyone was confused when Alpha Trizer advised that they be partnered together on an ongoing basis. However, the sage's wisdom proved itself as Evac and Crosswise came to appreciate each others' philosophies as complimentary, not opposed; these days, the duo are known as some of the finest combatants in the galaxy, Crosswise's sonic disruptors and Evac's rotor-blade working in concert to bring evildoers everywhere to justice.

I'm once again bored, so I'm thinking over a character from Transformers who got either ignored and/or hosed and am wondering what Skybound or another series can do with him. With the Super Ginrai toy apparently due out soon, I'm turning my attention to Ginrai/Powermaster Optimus Prime/Apex Prime, quite possibly one of the most unique concepts in Transformers that no one really has fleshed out in any way.

Ginrai is the main protagonist of Transformers Masterforce, a truck driver who is accidentally bound to two bracelts that let him combine with a very familiar red looking truck.

Unfortunately, the narrative itself says little about the fact that the truck is Optimus Prime, with a clip show called The Big Book of Masterforce released after the series ended claiming it was meant to be a new body for Prime before the evil Devil Z stole it, and it was bound to a human.

The Marvel comic book meanwhile, ignores this in favor of saying it WAS Optimus, with his binary-bonded Nebulan partner, Hi-Q, helping to unleash his body's true potential. Only there it was Hi-Q who became the non-entity, barely appearing on panel until a plotline where Optimus cheated death by essentially downloading his brain into Hi-Q.

And yet despite both the popularity of the toy mold and design, and the flexibility of the idea, Powermaster Prime/Ginrai hasn't really been used in anything. Dreamwave floated the idea of Ginrai appearing in one of their sourcebooks, only for the company to have its rather famous dissolution due to Pat Lee's tomfoolery, Animated had plans to make their version of Powermaster Prime/God Ginrai without Ginrai or any Powermaster elements but the show famously ended with the start of the Hub Network, the Wings Universe had Ginrai as a separate character from Prime (and a paranoid neurotic) and IDW, as part of their hate-on for all things Japanese Transformers, didn't use him at all.

That said, there's a lot you can do with this character, but it feels like all of it is Year 4 or Year 5, rather than Year 1.

Optimus Prime - Agent of GI Joe.

With the Energon Universe going all in on the idea of Transformers and GI Joe being in the same universe, the human element has a much easier grounding figure than someone who just happens to come along and slots neatly into the Commander role without interference. If a human was able to transform into someone that looked like Optimus Prime and the government found out, well, odds are that person would be recruited by Colonel Hawk and the Joes to act as the Autobot commander, and possibly to ensure that the Bots act in the best interest of the US government.

From there, there's a lot of both Transformers action and spy fiction elements that can be implemented into the story. How long before the Autobots figure out the ruse? Will they? Will Ginrai or whoever the human is be forced to silence his allies to avoid his secret coming out? And how much of Optimus will rub off on him? Especially if Optimus isn't really dead and that Transector isn't empty?

Spike Witwicky - King of Braves.

Poor Spike has been through a lot in the first arc of the Transformers comic. Without spoiling too much, the series starts with his mom having died a few years back, his dad an alcoholic, and he gets hurt during the fighting between Bots and Cons. While characters like him are normally used in a context to provide a more "normal" set of eyes, the US cartoon eventually made Spike into an Autobot, as the head of Fortress Maximus. Unfortunately, The Rebirth miniseries where this occurred clearly had shown the series was out of gas at that point.

Still, given Spike's relationship with Optimus, the idea of Spike being forced to act as Prime's partner, or even more notably, his replacement, creates an angle that would be very interesting, IF we spend enough time with him to feel earned.

It's bad enough Spike was essentially a galactic ambassador to a war he never knew about, now he has to lead the people he got to knew and trust against enemies probably far more powerful than the Cons that started the war. How does he react to that given everything the war has likely taken from him? Does he embrace the opportunity to fight back against the invaders, or does he threaten to crack under the pressure? Not to mention the evergreen G1 characters Spike may know suddenly dealing with someone who's a full-fledged super robot, and may be the difference between victory and defeat?

Like my Star Saber meta, these are just some basic ideas for what could be a very interesting character later on with themes of identity, symbols, and the injecting of super robots into the American G1 framework in a more direct way than the Japanese shows did originally. Still, I think it's something that could be a lot of fun in the hands of the right writer.

Dearest Vector Prime, owing to how in the Shattered Glass continuity the Decepticons were the quote on quote 'good guys', how did the events of Super God-Masterforce forego in this?

Dear Shattered-God Surmiser, I'm aware of an alternate Earth where the colonizing Super-Robots known as 'Cybertrons' came to Earth long ago to infiltrate human civilization and manipulate the course of human history, pushing it ever towards exploitation and destruction of its natural resources. However, the cruel Hawk and Maximus-the-Cowardly found themselves in conflict with the noble Destrons, who had come to Earth to protect its destiny. Like Hawk, they were Pretenders too, but took on grotesque and frightful organic forms to warn humanity that they fought on behalf of the wild creatures across the globe.

Once Turtler and the Seacons secured the oceans and prevented melting in the polar regions, the Cybertrons were desperate and enlisted easily-corruptible human youth to carry out their will: a snobby, elitist student from France, Minerva; the spoiled prince of an empire, Cab, whose fire truck Transtector actually caused fires and burned down forests; and Shuta Gō, a tentative and calculating young man whose father became rich from rigging international soccer tournaments.

Dauros and the other Destrons were worried about active human involvement in their efforts, but the benevolent goddess Angel Alpha gave them her blessing to seek out worthy adversaries: Cancer, the contemplative monk who struggled with his dark side; Bullhorn, who taught self-defense courses at a local homeless shelter; and Wilder, a young business school prodigy who was betrayed by his best friend and ousted from his own nonprofit organization.

The battles escalated, soon involving the Godmasters who could harness the very life-giving energy of Earth itself. The struggles took a turn for the worst when Ginrai appeared, an evil politician who now wore the transtector of the dangerous Optimus Prime.

At this point, Angel Alpha was forced to admit a secret truth: she had hoped to make peace with the Cybertrons and had made transtectors as a peace offering, even one for Ginrai. Alas, this was not to be, and she herself intervened in the conflict, incarnating as Black Zarak, a vengeful form to defend Earth as a last resort. She enlisted the aid of Giga and Mega, a married couple who donated their billions to support carbon neutral efforts. Eventually the scourge of the Cybertrons was repulsed. Giga and Mega were able to adopt not only Wilder, Bullhorn, and Cancer, but also Shuta, Cab, and Minerva, giving them—and the planet—hope for a better future.
