Universal-model conjecture for Frobenius-group gain-graph matroid classes

Let Γ\Gamma be a Frobenius group with Frobenius kernel Γ1\Gamma_1, and let A\mathcal{A} be a set of Frobenius complements. A sequence of universal models for a class M\mathcal{M} is a sequence of simple matroids M2,M3,M_2,M_3,\ldots in M\mathcal{M} such that, for each r2r\geq 2, MrM_r has rank rr and every simple rank-rr matroid in M\mathcal{M} is a restriction of MrM_r. Universal-model conjecture. The class M(Γ,Γ1,A)\mathcal{M}(\Gamma,\Gamma_1,\mathcal{A}) has a sequence of universal models. Universal models are known for the corresponding frame and lifted-graphic classes for finite groups; this conjecture proposes the analogous result for Frobenius groups.
