Hey guys this is my first post..
Now TLR was a full Metalborn and so he had access to Double Zinc intelligence (how did he ever lose?!?!). So even if he was confident he wouldn't ever be defeated, he should have realized that his time was running out as his Atium Compounding for youth would soon be too impractical to continue (he needs too tap more and more youth as he got older).
My question is: why wasn't he planning for this and preparing a successor to take his place? He should have thought of it, with the Zinc compounding..
