Just a thought, those old and bold amongst you will remember malal...

Wouldn't it be cool if the Firehawks were seduced by Malal, and subsequently became Legion of the Damned. He hates Chao's as do they. I know the Legion fight everyone not just chaos but isn't that a nice twist?

Rather than the silly canon we have now.

But by that token so were Squats and all the little bits that have been lost, it all added to the character.

Yeah it's not fan boyism (is that even a word) that's just a convient tag that people use to try and take the moral high ground, which is all well and good till they realise the internet is as flat as Holland.

I like the old stuff, because it takes me back. I find the constant re-invention of everything a bit annoying, you get the story and then the Canon gets re-written.

Imagine if Tolkien had done this (or worse gone back and jazzed it up like George Lucas with his SW constant tweaks and releases) no one would have enjoyed the story any where near as much.
