An axisymmetric, stationary, general-relativistic, electrodynamic engine model of an active galactic nucleus was formulated by Macdonald and Thorne, and consisted of a supermassive black hole surrounded by a plasma magnetosphere and a magnetized accretion disk. Based on this initial formulation, a nonstationary version of their model is constructed in this paper, and the associated 'Transfield Equation' is derived for a magnetosphere in the force-free limit. The result is consistent with previous work, and, as expected, is more general in many aspects.
