Our themes all hand benefits to the units NOT focused on in the themes: blessed or girded on warjacks in the infantry themes, then reposition on the support in the warjack one.
My wishlist for replacements goes to all 3 of these.
-Replace girded with tough on TFG.
-Replace blessed with stacking battle driven.
-Replace reposition with the new rule below and give it to all warjacks (yes, that one too).
Powerful Influence: While within the control range of a Friendly Faction warcaster, this model in considered to be in that warcaster's battlegroup and recieves the effects of any spells, feats, and special rules affecting battlegroup models. If this model would otherwise not be in that warcaster's battlegroup, it does not power up and cannot be allocated focus.

Tough on the TFG would be a good one but I'm surprise you don't like girded. Given how squishy a bunch of the troops in Guardians are girded has been a lifesaver. Also keep in mind Rhupert is coming to this theme soon so tough might be redundant. Also this theme screams Thyra and she loves girded.
Battler driven will never stack ... ever. It would get incredibly stupid really fast. For the Interdiction swapping 2" of deploy for advance move on knights would be a good start and then I would have it add vengeance to one medium or small based unit of your choice. That being said I don't think blessed weapons on jacks is a bad benefit. When they do release the option to add mercs Rhupert will fix the biggest issue with the interdiction which is delivery. Once bastions and cinerators go through CID this theme will be just fine either way.
Repo on the solos is awesome ... don't touch it! Creators might ends up having one of the most crowded backfields of any list I've ever played. Repo allowing for some really solid backfield management is crucial to how those lists function. If anything the free upkeeps benefit is the real stinker here and could stand to be swapped out for something else. This is MKIII not MKII, what else are we going to be doing with that focus on turn 1, does PP think we have a Kriel stone to fill?

Hmmm, I like the ideas in general. However, with respect to your proposed change to Creator's Might, honestly while that would get Avvy into some lists, I'm not sure its really strong enough of a benefit to make up for the loss of Repo. I mean, I suppose you can run Tristan1 as well and have those jacks benefit, but otherwise you are looking at exactly one Jack benefiting in any list, and it will always be the same 20 point jack that benefits. Not sure its really worth losing Repo for it.
I like the general idea though because I do agree it is weird that the theme forces grant benefits to those models which are not thematic with the theme.

I don't understand why you don't like reposition and girded. Those abilities are great.
