1. What if the war had taken a different and/or earlier direction?
1a. We all know that Praxus was destroyed and thus leaving Bluestreak the only survivor of the city. What if it had been a different city attacked? Like Vos or Kaon and thus someone else had to deal with their entire life being destroyed.
1b. The war started when several mechs that are considered ‘old’ are not as old and so key figures for both factions are either too young to be officers or are still not of age to officially join the war.
-1b serious: What this means and how it affects everything, especially in the case of ‘child’ soldiers in either faction. How they got in or what decided for them to be allowed to fight when not fully upgraded.
1b humorous: The drama and trials of not quite adult and clearly still too young mechs and femmes being crammed together in the Ark/Nemesis. Bonus points if the unlikeliest of mechs for either faction are the ‘adults’ who feel like they’re surrogate caretakers more then soldiers half the time.
2. A lot of stories have twins/seekers/gestalts having a bond that they can communicate to each other without the use of conventional communications. So which side has the most set of spies?
3. Every model has its own culture and history, especially the more unique models, and with it also unique courting rituals. Mayhem ensues when culture shock hits in this regard.
4. “So how’s it coming in figuring out what a spark is?”
“How’s it coming on finding physical evidence of an organic soul?”
“Touché.”
5. “Where the frag did that piece come from and where does it fit in this overly elaborate piece of slag?”
