Nice, thank you. What about 'Battle of Coruscant CIS Fleet To 2003 Battlestar Galactica'? Or, maybe Darth Vader and Death Squadron getting ISOTed there instead? The Frivolous Fandom Thread. |

What about 'Imperium of Man With Commonplace AI And Robots', which would have comparable intelligence, importance and variety to that of the Star Wars universe as well as a tendency to actually serve their human masters rather than plot against them like the Iron Men of millennia past? |

The Media Fandom Hub would be the place to put that topic in. |

Would that mean the Horus Heresy was prevent or defeated more easily and the emperor not let a dying relic to a system he would utterly detest? Difficult to get fully functioning AIs with the technophobia status of the empire after he's crippled and unable to oppose such reactionary ideas. From my admittedly limited knowledge of the WH40k universe I think that would make the empire vastly stronger and its enemies, especially the Chaos ones weaker as the videos I'm seen seem to suggest the backward hellhole the empire is now actually helps the spread of chaos.

I'm not sure what impact the presence of ubiquitous and reliably obedient sentient robots would have on whether the Warmaster turns on the Imperium or not. Plus, I'm pretty sure that even with the Emperor around, AI was still verboten due to fears of another Cybernetic Revolt. Although, it'd be quite difficult to ensure that their droid expies don't rebel, be it due to the corruptive influence of Chaos or what have you. Another scenario that popped into my head just recently is 'FDR SI To Abe Lincoln', which is pretty self-explanatory. |

Nonetheless, I still think that it would've made an interesting standalone thread since FDR likely wouldn't be content to simply let history take essentially the same course as it did IOTL. |

Well you present a good argument, thus if you want you can put it in the ASB board |

How about 'Google Never Buys YouTube'? Is it apolitical enough for 'After 1900', or too much so to the point where it may belong in 'Politics and Current Affairs'?
Thank you once more in advance,
