(I'm split over whether this is a Should or Should Not....)
Agatha Heterodyne is a Spark. Everyone knows that. But everyone only thought they knew why her Spark was so oddly powerful, and why she spent most of her life wearing a limiter. As it turns out, her mother's malicious influence was only part of the reason.
The rest of the reason is that Agatha's Spark is actually fused with the AllSpark. And the advance force of Autobots and Decepticons has just picked up the first emanations informing them of where the AllSpark ended up...
(so, yeah -- Girl Genius and Transformers. Probably a CTSNB, since the only real connection is the use of "Spark". But damn, wouldn't SteamPunkimus Prime, with a full set of Agatha'd upgrades, be something to see?)
EDIT:
So, something occurred to me this morning that perhaps makes it less of a "Should Not": Let's say the Allspark landed on Earth millions of years ago, and its presence here was what lead the Autobots here, and the Ark crashing and all the 'bots and 'cons aboard going into stasis lock.
A few centuries ago (just before the age of Made Science began), the Allspark was damaged or reached a critical low point (Tunguska? Krakatoa?). Which no active Transformers to try to merge with, the AllSpark ended up fragmenting and scattering the fragments among human hosts in a sort of final survival gambit -- no single human was capable of hosting the entirety of the Allspark.
So, in a series of events that I just realized is reminiscent of Worm, we end up with Sparks, most driven mad to some degree by the damaged AllSpark fragments, with their obsessions and hyper-specializations. But a few are stronger, more flexible, more compatible. And over generations, their family lines adapt, or evolve, for greater strength and compatibility....
And here's the kicker: Agatha's Spark is part of the AllSpark that was most closely connected to Optimus Prime. Lucrezia's was Megatron's. And it's just about time for the Great Reboot to happen....
(this, of course, means that EVERY Spark on the planet is at least potentially Headmaster/Powermaster/whatever material. And they're equipped to potentially create new Transformers to merge with, rather than just team up with members of the small Ark cadre)
