	~~== Origin of the title ==~~
	A vaguely plausible notion just occurred to me. What if 'Emirate' is a title given to former / superannuated Council members, and would therefore be rendered more correctly as 'Emerit', ie. a naturalized English form of 'emeritus' / 'emerita'? Xaaron would have the title as the only surviving former member of the defunct Council, and Xeon might have been a former council member dispatched to fulfil a political role on Kaon, a bit like a Roman proconsul or propraetor. Unfortunately Xaaron's referred to by another Autobot as 'Emirate' in "And There Shall Come A Leader", which is set before the Council's execution, but I still think this has got something going for it, particularly since it's got the connection to classical languages that runs through important-sounding Transformer names and titles. (FWIW, 'emerit' was used in the 17th and 18th centuries, but is now obsolete. Easy enough to re-coin, though.) -- [[User:Tribimat\|Tribimat]] 19:33, 28 April 2012 (EDT)
