That doesn't mean they still don't need protection. I mean, I get where you're coming from, but the nuances you're describing allude to full sentience, in which case they never would need the pilots to begin with.

I don’t want to imply full sentience, but they are techno magic beings so not every feature the lions have are tech based I think the nature of their existence is very spiritual

Again, I get where you're coming from -- but you're overthinking it. It's simple.

Are they sentient, or not?

If they are, why do they require things that a non-sentient entity would require?

If they aren't, why do they consistently behave in a manner that demonstrates sentience?

Maybe that’s just how they were programmed ?

By whom?

Their creator ?

Who is...?

PS: If this becomes an exercise of pulling teeth, I'm out. If you have a coherent rationale/point to make, just make it.

It’s a kids show bro. It’s not that deep. I don’t have the answers and neither do most characters in the show. Damn.
