@agatharights said: Kaon apparently still has Trypticon Prison and a still-active gladiatoral ring…which is…curious.
I forgot about Trypticon Prison. (Which is a bad move on the Autobot Council’s part honestly. “Let’s keep all of our enemies in their home! Ah ha! They’ll never escape now! This will never bite us in the bumper!”)
And yes… the gladiatorial ring is very curious…
I wonder who these “gladiators” are… especially so close to the Prison…
And I wonder who exactly approves of this…
I was gonna say “I think they just use it for like general sports and autobots now” but oh jeeze.
…listen, I think what’s important is that we can all agree that Kaon is a scrapheap no matter what.
No they do not. Not only did they exile all the Decepticons, but anytime they find one, they get thrown into the ruins of their former capital and are forced to watch Gladiator fights.
The Allspark only knows who exactly these gladiator are. Probably a couple of strong, “heroic” Autobots to represent the power of the Autobot Commonwealth, but possibly some unruly Decepticon prisoners.
Celebrating Solstice is a thing where I’m from and even though I am a bit late for this have some Blurr with bodypaint of Baltic tribe signs.
*I am aware that some might find it offensive to see these signs on anything but folk items hence my apologies.
