Mainly, I'm just yoinking the idea that gods need veneration of some sort, and plopping it down on Emirate Xaaron's lap (much to his consternation) because he happens to be a god on his off days.

It would be harder to apply in the cartoon, since they don't have the divine origin.

It could be applied decently easily to Beast Wars and Beast Machines, since they have a Primus. I'm sure one could do a weird post-BM cult of Megatron. He was the Allspark! All but one, anyway.

It could apply to the Thirteen in Dreamwave.

Et cetera.
