Khedian SG's...a maybe not so original idea also

Hi everyone.

As the proud owner of my own level 32 PB, who I quite like (I still get blown away by the versatility of the Kheldians and I wish there were more of them), I got to wondering if there were any Kheldian-centric Supergroups? I haven't heard of any myself, but I'd appreciate hearing if there were.

That being said, I was struck with a particular idea, which likely has been thrown around before, but got inspired by me going to the movies tonight to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

I thought there were certain similarities between the groups, with the Autobot/Peacebringers being peaceful creatures who come to Earth to help protect against the Decepticons/Nictus. The Peacebringers/Autobots also have close ties to the human race, the Peacebringers obviously taking this a step further with the bonding into a joined form.

Woud this be an unacceptable model to use for a Peacebringer group? It seems that the Kheldian story generally seems to have gotten lost along the way with all the time that's passed, and I wondered if a more coherent concept behind them wouldn't give them a bit of lfe.

I'd appreciate any and all feedback.

actually never thought of a kheld SG, I'm sure there is one, and well if you follow the content and read it there is a lot of story on Khelds and their history, but lets say your idea, where do Warshades sit? cause i just can't stand peacebringers (too shinny)

Warshades are reformed, like Jetfire is a Decepticon who changes sides to the Autobots. Considering the depth and breadth of the forms that players can choose to take (single-form, human, dwarf/nova, human/nova, human/dwarf...and that's not including the Warshades), I see any Kheldian group as having tremendous variety and interesting characters.

Yes, I am seeing Transformers as a template, no getting around that. I just find them tremendously similar, at least story-wise.

Also consider that when Going Rogue comes out, it may be possible to go entirely evil as a Kheld, thus becoming a Nictus.
