Oddly, the various claims by the Infinites about trying to prevent death and disaster are contradicted by one boss (can't check the reference right now) that he will destroy this "clock work" universe by his changing of history.

I have a suspicion that the Infinite Flight were created by the Titans or by Nozdormu as a necessary part of the universe. They never seem to succeed at destroying history (then, I suppose, how would we know if they did?). I suspect they're a chaotic foil to the Bronze's precise preservation of time and thereby we get free will or choice or some other hokey fantasy concept ;). I wonder if their leader is a kind of shadow- or time backwards- aspect of Nozdormu himself and his demise will be when the two finally meet.

EDIT: Ah, it's Aeonus: "The time has come to shatter this clockwork universe forever! Let us no longer be slaves of the hourglass! I warn you: those who do not embrace the greater path shall become victims of its passing!". Though I guess that could reflect a desire to destroy the controls over time rather than all of current existence.

I have a itching suspicion that when Nozzy finally does reach his demise, it'll be black holes.
Black holes everywhere.

Even if he doesn't control time in an overall sense, a lot of time line that he does have sway over is probably going to get effed in the process whether it be by his own talons or us naive adventures.

I keep thinking of the similarities between this and the Matrix even.

(From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redpill)

The terms redpill and its opposite, bluepill, are pop culture terms that have become a common symbol for the choice between the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue) and embracing the sometimes painful truth of reality (red).

In this case the Bronze Dragonflight are living in the Blue version of the hourglass, and the Twilight are living in the Red version of the hourglass.

Plus look at them! They look like dragons Neo and Morpheus would turn into!

Y'know, pop culture references aside, that was probably the best way I've ever seen that explained. :)

That was an awesome explanation and ive never seen the Matrix LOL

I like Wains idea too of there being '2' Nozdormu's, one Infinite and one Bronze and they end up fighting till the death. Assuming the bronze Nozdormu is the original, if infinite Nozdormu killed bronze Nozdormu, infinite Nozdormu would die too right? His counterpart is dead so he should kinda fade away or blow up or something.. But then that makes me question why Infinite are battling Bronze in the first place if the only outcome is that both either cant do the killing blow or one does and the other dies xD

Maybe thats what they where made to do? Maybe they where made with the sole purpose of wipeing out the bronze.

Yea, it would tie in with the possibility that they are the 'future' bronze dragons or 'corrupted' or even maybe, 'ascended?' or 'converted?'. Even though in CoT Strat the infinite wyrmkin with the bronze wyrmkin is called an Infinite Corrupter, it may not be corruption but conversion :3 I love this thread SOOOO much!! xD

Whats to say the actual Nozdormu may be the Infinite version?

Red pill... blue pill... red pill... blue pill...

Seriously you need to watch the Matrix. Not the 2nd and 3rd ones as much (I liked #2 quite a bit), but definately the original

Heres an AMAZING clip:
