Animo wasn't even really a major villain in the grand scheme, contrast again to Malware who was a story arc villain. Most of the minor villains in OV and UAF didn't really have proper motiviations, For example, "Fist & Fist" as I like to call them, were also just common thugs. Animo was still around, as was Zombozo and other minor UAF and OS villains.

The Highbreed were basically like the Daleks but with emotions other than hate and more mobile so they don't have to use machines just to move around. I can't say that either had decent motivation, but people liked the Daleks, so they probably figured it would work.

Also Animo was an OS villain soooo..... I know Animo was an original series villan, but I was refering to his UA appearence, which he didn't have very good motivation for what he was doing then. The forever knights were also from the OS, but you listed them in your reply. But over all, I agree with you. The minor characters' motivation wasn't explained in any of the shows, because it wasn't needed, but I still think that the Highbreed, who were the main villans for most of AF, didn't have very good motivation for what they were doing. Diagon didn't really either. Aggregor was alright, but thats just one of the three major villans. It doesn't really bother me, but if someone is going to complain that something did a poor job, then they can't just ignore that something else did it even more poorly, just because they liked that more.
