Great TaskForce Idea

Hey all, it's been awhile since I posted a thread in this forum, simply because I haven't had any ideas I thought worth mentioning; but this one I just couldn't keep to myself and wanted to see what others thought.

This TF would revolve around the many Giant Monsters that inhabit Paragon City and Rogue Isles. To name a few I'll mention: Jurassik, Adamastor, Kraken, DeathSurge, Crystal Titan and Babbage. What would happen in this TF is....Big and Bad new/old villain (we'll call him Destroyer) has found a way to extract some of the life essence from each of these GMs, thus turning him from once another run of the mill simple AV, to one that can topple even Paragon City's greatest heroes/villains with the utmost ease.

The only way to stop him is by defeating each of the GMs that he has captured, and taking a certain "special" salvage that they drop. Once you've defeated all of them, you then take their respective salvages and use it to create an even more badass weapon, that could either A) Drain Destroyer of a fraction of his power, thus giving you and your team a fighting chance, or B) Use it to inject yourself and your teammates with the power as well, thereby again, evening the playing field (villain side would be more inclined to take this route).

Here comes the "ugh" part, Destroyer has hired the Malta to help him in this scheme. Heck, with all the power that Destroyer has gained, it would be even cooler if he took on some of the traits of each of the GMs. Say he uses Jurassik's giant stick as his melee, spits toxic from his mouth viva la Kraken, and spews bolts of electricity through one hand, while using fire in the other, all the while having Adamastor's cool looking death eyes.

Also, this TF has plenty of room to be interpreted as co-op. Heroes want to defeat him for general "save the world" purposes while villains want seize the power for themselves, or better yet, they just don't want some guy THAT much stronger than them roaming the planet. Oh yeah, I know that with AE I could've "maybe" been able to pull this off, but the devs have so much more resources than we do, and besides, I'm a terrible writer/AE user.

Thoughts?

A TF that's pretty much a string of defeat one GM after another, then fight a different GM?
Would this be instanced (limiting the fight to just your team) or cause GM spawns one by one in the game world? (If the latter, what would happen if multiple teams were running the same TF?)

If they are instanced (your team vs. the GM), would the GM be weakened, as your story suggests? If so, would they be worth badges like the normal versions?

Because Malta would really work with a Meta who bascially turned himself into an abomination made up of a number of other monsters?

Malta have one meta in their arsenal that I know of, and their a shape shifter.
I just don't see it, myself.
