Yeah, this isn't the place for your theories.

Interestingly, Xeon's forehead bears the same symbol that appears on Megatron's gladiatorial medallion in Origin. It might represent Kaon itself as a regional insignia.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]] 17:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

== 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)

Only Autobots? Xeon appears to be a neutral from before the factions meant anything.--Rosicrucian 14:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, Emirate predates the Great War, so there were no Decepticons. There WERE Autobots then however, all TFs were Autobots. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.235.136.203 (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.
Says who? In which continuities? --Steve-o 15:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
The (corrupt?) Autobot government predates the Decepticon uprising in both continuities in which it matters. --ItsWalky 16:04, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
