True, I'm not sure how exactly it would work, but still. I think that Sector Seven was assigned after the whole fiasco to develop ways of stopping and detecting Decepticons, and to do that, then they need someone who is so good at stoping them, they'll need Red.

And as for the idea to meld them, I'm always open to new ideas. ;)

BTVS- I guess you're right. Xander would put aside his love of fire trucks, though I think for at least a short time he'd be all over it. And then Willow would keep Red away from Prime as he and Buffy argue it out...

Prime: He's OURS. We had him first.
Buffy: Too bad. Loosers. You lost him.
