What a missed opportunity by Marvel, my friend. I can imagine the story now: Dire Wraith agents infiltrate the forces which are out to destroy X-51, but Rom and Machine Man get off to a bad start because Stack resents what Rom gave up... his humanity, which X-51 so desperately craves. An uneasy truce leads to a discovery which affects them both: Colonel Kragg, the commander determined to destroy X-51, is himself a dire wraith! Now all Rom and X-51 need is a little energon...and a lot of luck.Rick Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404030434015887810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-48677255415390506132013-04-14T14:37:59.331-07:002013-04-14T14:37:59.331-07:00No!

It's why that whole not using the ROM name thing sucks, because it almost feels like all the peripheral characters and relationships are negated as well. It almost ends up feeling like ROM is some kind of swear word, and he must have done something horrid to those around him so no one wants to mention him again. Which we know isn't the case, but it does make writing around that time period awkward.
