Just one odd sort of crossover/merger bunny

My mind just thought about what would happen if certain elements of the anime Escaflowne was put into terms of the Transformers universe. Namely the entire thoughts into energy, and the machine that can change destiny. Especially the Fate Altering Machine as I could see Megatron from a point when the Decepticon faction actually did have valid causes thinking about using such for the good of all Cybertron.

Though considering how some of fandom see model types like humans see ethnic backgrounds, there could be thoughts of one model type being the only ones who could create such a machine or hinder it, and thus hunted down or destroyed depending on the route one went.


For those who don't know this anime, the Fate Altering Machine is just as the name implies. It was basically this conglomeration of science, magic, and steampunk elements that could allow one to see how the future will play out and then change it to suit what the user of the machine wants to happen instead. Thus changing the future of everyone forcefully and against their will. Even making people fall in love with one another like one would play with dolls.


I-I hope that wasn't too confusing, because I don't exactly want to spoil the anime entirely by telling the plot in case anyone is going to watch it at some point.

Heh, old times...

Other than the Fate Altering Machine, I wonder the implications on Escaflowne (the mecha) itself, since it, well, transforms from bipedal mode to dragon-mode. I mean, there could be one of Dornkirk's scientists that would've toyed with the idea of meshing pilot and mecha as one (permanently or not hasn't been/isn't factored into the equation). What if somewhere along the line through a not-very-pleasant process, Van winds up in that situation? The alternative Escaflowne gaining a spark through whatever means (coincidence, inevitable, what-have-you).
