It always bothered me a bit that Forte was so often absent in the series. I became more annoyed with it when Beast progressed. Come on, Forte must have felt or heard what was going on in the human world and the network involving Beyondard. Why didn't he do anything? The same goes for Beast+, Rockman had now Beast Out in his weapon inventory, if I was Forte I would make a direct attempt to gain his powers.
I am also disappointed that the storyline about Forte wasn't resolved. I mean after what we saw in Stream I was really hoping that he would come back in Beast+ as the last villain determined to get Rockman's Beast Out abilities. I would have really liked it seeing Forte using a Beast Out as well.
While Cache was a reasonable villain and managed to almost succeed in his plans I personally believe that a final showdown between Beast Out Rock vs. [spoiler]Forte and his absorbed powers of Nebula Grey gained in Stream[/spoiler](referring to the anime, not entirely sure if I should use the spoiler tag), would have been better.
That would be an amazing finale I would have loved to see. I just find it hard to believe that after everything that happened since Stream Forte wouldn't at least make one attempt to obtain Rockman's abilities. If Forte would get Beast Out he would be unstoppable. Maybe he will appear again in a movie but I am not really counting on it. Sigh, IMHO he was a great character who deserved more screentime.
I am not entirely sure yet if it would be a good thing if Forte would appear
in Ryuusei. If he does, please give him a solid foundation in the story and not just an one-time unexplained appearance.
One positive thing about this IMO would be this: because Forte's storyline was never resolved, many fans can now decide for themselves what happened to him. Not to mention it would make very nice fanfic material.
