Heh, if Beckler can make a Lavos clone....
But I guess it is too big to carry.
Don't need a lavos clone when one can just abduct lavos' spawn from the future. House breaking it will be a herculean task though.

I like the idea in that Kid is in effect a schala clone as an option to preventing the horrible time-ending catastrophe. That feels a lot more consistent to part of Trigger rather than the whole "every previous character has in effect worsened the world from their involvement in Trigger and they die miserably for it."
As far as the time egg goes, from my play experiences from only the snes CT from years ago, I had gotten the impression that Crono was very important and his purpose was essentially to kill/stop Lavos, and maybe as a future ruler for keeping stability for Guardia. For one, he's the only character without an elaborated past, (placing more emphasis on his future, or his effect on the future) doesn't have a father (and as far as I could tell, no any mention of ever having had one either) and gets obliterated by Lavos instead of absorbed. So with the emphasis on the Chrono Trigger being used for people significant to time, I had thought Crono as some sort of anti-Lavos factor from some effect by The Entity. Esp when the SNES death scene looks like he's struggling against Lavos and not just walking and getting blasted away with a dumb look on his face for his last moment alive. The clone then is needed at the moment of death so that Lavos follows through with his actions. If nothing is left there, or not an adequate replacement, Lavos doesn't fire his doom beam to obliterate Crono, and instead resumes absorbing the party present at the ocean palace.
At least, that makes more sense to me than the anti-Crono propaganda Kato spouts off and then shoots off with effectively the most hypocritical, and non-sensical, character change ever via Schala to Kid.
