Cyrax and Sektor: I think they'll return to Earthrealm and be loyal to their grandmaster. Eventually, Cyrax free will that he had before he became a cyborg is no longer being contained. This could be due to Sektor becoming the evil character that he was in the original timeline. Cyrax decides to stop him whatever the cost. I know there some plot holes into Cyrax becoming free of being a mindless robot. I just can't think of anything that would make Cyrax free again besides recalibration like what happened to Cyber Sub Zero in MK9.

Dragonspyne,

I think that Sektor free will but he used it to become evil in the original timeline. If he didn't have his free will, he would've been ordered to become evil. This didn't happen and he decided to become evil by himself.

Wikia Contributor: I agree with almost every character you mentioned in you list. The only characters I don't agree with are Dairou and Cyber Reptile. While Cyber Reptile would be a fun what if? to see happen in the story but I don't want the same thing happening to Reptile that happened to Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero becoming a cyborg wasn't liked by most fans. I liked it but I didn't love it. I agree with all fans that it did ruin Sub-Zero's credibility. I'm hoping NRS does something great with Sub-Zero in MKX just to restore that credibility. I'm not in support of Dairou because he's not exactly an interesting character to include plus very few fans or not any fan of MK would like to see him included. If he is in the game, I agree with Dragonspyne's idea. he should be a background character and unplayable.

On the topic of Cyrax and Sektor, do you guys think it would be good to see those lightsaber-like weapons ( Pulse Blades ) for Cyrax and Sektor again. I've been thinking those could be variations if Cyrax and Sektor are in the game. I totally agree with you about Cyrax and Sektor going back to Earthrealm and being loyal to the Grandmaster. However, if Sektor indeed has free will and the power of his cybertronics gets to his ego he'll try to overthrow his father, the current grandmaster. But if Sektor doesn't actually have free will then I can see MKX Sub-Zero controlling both Cyrax and Sektor when he becomes the new Grandmaster.

When it comes to Cyber Reptile, I love the idea but it won't happen. At least not as a canonical situation. He's not from the Lin Kuei so I seriously doubt he would actually get cybertronics. Unless if the Challenge Tower match between Unit 5 Reptile and the two Cyber Ninjas was at all a prelude to Reptile's new costume. Or maybe one of his new costumes.

I at one point suggested that Cyrax and Sektor would actually combine to create a somewhat of an abomination. Kind of like what Sektor's ending was in Armageddon. However, in MKX, it would just be Cyrax and Sektor who get combined into one whole character. But then Cyrax and Sektor would be variations of that character. I'm not in favor of that idea because I personally like the two characters by themselves. I only came up with the idea because people where worried about the whole 30 characters thing. Now I'm hearing that it's going to be more than 30 characters. So I think we can assume that we're still going to get the biggest amount of new characters and not worry about slots anymore. We just might see EVERY surviving character from MKX, all characters that haven't been introduced in the series as playable characters from MK4-Armageddon, and even evil versions of the dead heroes from MK9.

To answer your question. I would like to see the pulseblades in this game but I wonder if the reason why they had them in the original timeline is now null in void being in the alternate timeline.
