I love BAF Baroness, she's ruthless.

Although Vanyo draws her so much better than Cooper. He makes her jaw jut out.

Well, we are all human, so we don't need to have the same exact opinion (don't tell my big bro I said that, I'm trying to make him think just like me), so your opinion about the BAF :baroness: is a very welcome critic.

Now, about :zartan: :
It's so difficult! I like almost every trait from each version of him. I like his background as the Hard Master killer; I like him being the leader of the Dreadnoks, establishing a "sort of" order in the chaotic biker gang; I like his disguise abilities; I like his BAF version, who uses his powers not only to disguise as someone else, but also with camouflage purposes, even having a sort of "Predator" likeness; I like even the idea of :zartan: having chameleon powers (disliked by many because it's unrealistic). I have enjoyed :zartan: in BAF, Marvel, Sunbow and Sigma 6. The only :zartan: I have disliked is the Resolute one (even though Resolute was an overall good story).

However, this still gives me a problem: I like both :zartan: 's rivalry with :destro: from the cartoons and their friendship from the comics, but those are two unreconciliable traits. The only solution I can think is to make a new continuity where :destro: and :zartan: begin as in the cartoon, later they develop a sort of grudgingly respect for each other, and that respect could evolve into a friendship like shown in the comics.

I found this topic was moved and suddenly remembered it.

What about Cobra-La? I know they are hated by most people, but I think they could be good characters changing some things.

Golobulus should be like a sort of fanatical, and have a religion dedicated to Unicron. Yes, TF's Unicron. The "Fungus" thing from Joes/TF 4 didn't convince me, but all the rest was pretty cool. An "adoration" thing could give us a similar saga without the fungus.

I liked their role in the movie, but not in the creation of :cobra: . For me, :cobracommander: was human, and Golobulus tale was a lie to keep :cobra: as his puppets. :cobracommander: 's grey skin when his costume was torn could have been the result of the spores.

Cobra-La shouldn't be associated with :cobra: ; they should be the common menace both teams have to face each time that, meanwhile, Unicron tries to devour Cybertron.
