24.218.117.118: Tarantulas' Origin

Tarantulas is so awesome he makes me crap my pants!

Could we limit talk pages to relevant conversation, please? - [[User:RolonBolon|RolonBolon]] 23:12, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

*I agree, discussion pages are for descussions on the subject like sources and info and stuff like that. Mind you I agree with taratulas being cool.[[User:Troyb|Troyb]]<sup>[[User talk:Troyb|(CIS ShadowFeed)]] [[Special:Contributions/User:Troyb|contribs]]</sup>[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 18:36, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

==Question==
I didn't know where else to place this question, so I did it here. I've been thinking of doing an article on Tarantulas' lair, yet he had two lairs during the series: one underground near the ''Darksyde'' during Season 1, and one that he found during Season 2 and used for the remainder of the series. Should I do individual articles on each, or combine them under one article? -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 18:46, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:I think it should be a subsection of Tarantulas's page, personally, but if it does end up being separate then they should definitely be one article. - [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] 19:05, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

==Origin controversy==
I recognize that everybody has their own different scale of valuing [[author intent]], and also that various articles on this wiki come down on different sides of that (i.e. [[Transmutate]]'s gender). I tried to be very conservative in my edit. --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 14:43, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

== Tarantulas' Origin ==

This may sound stupid of me, but has anyone already pointed out that Tarantulas (and maybe the Tripredacus council) maybe be decendants of the Quintessons? Just a thought.<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

'''A group of children are caught in the cross-fire of inter-Autobot politics.'''

*''Major characters (in order of appearance):'' [[Sky Lynx (G1)|Sky Lynx]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]], [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]], [[Blast Off|Blast Off (incapacitated)]], [[Blaster (G1)|Blaster]]
*''Originally published:'' January, 1988

==Synopsis==
Sky Lynx arrives in our solar system, answering a plea from old friend Wheeljack for help in overthrowing the current [[Autobot]] leader Grimlock, who is obsessed with locating and imprisoning Blaster, to the exclusion of fighting the [[Decepticon]]s. When Blaster is located giving four [[Earth]] children a joy ride in the incapacitated form of Blast Off, the [[Ark]] immediately opens fire. To save the kids, Blaster orders Blast Off to stop and be picked up by the Ark, but one of the children tosses Blaster out an airlock to ensure that Blaster is not captured.

With Blast Off safely incarcerated on board the Ark, the children are discovered, and Wheeljack sees to their needs. Grimlock holds a trial, accusing the children of aiding a traitor, and sentences them to execution. This is a ploy to bring Blaster out into the open, but as the children are made to "walk the plank" into deep space, Sky Lynx rescues them instead.

When Sky Lynx enters a meteor shower too dangerous for the Ark to navigate safely, Grimlock leads the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] outside to pursue the rogue Autobot. Meanwhile, Blaster successfully makes it inside the Ark, where the other Autobots practically beg him to take command of the Autobots from Grimlock. However, when the Dinobots surround Sky Lynx, Blaster surrenders to the Dinobots in order to ensure their safety.

==Errors==
*On, page 7, Sammy opens the airlock to throw Blaster out, yet neither he nor his friends are killed by explosive decompression.

*On the very next frame on page 7, Blaster is seen to emerge from Sky Lynx, not Blast Off.

*On page 18, Wheeljack reports that Sky Lynx has entered a meteor shower. Since the rocks are not within Earth's atmosphere, this is an inaccurate term. The rocks should either be referred to as "meteoroids" or, even better (given their size), "asteroids."

==Items of note==
*''References to other Transformers continuities/issues:'' This issue starts several hours ''before'' the end of the previous story, [[Child's Play (comic issue)|Child's Play]].

*Apparently Blast Off's vehicle disguise goes so far as to incorporate an airlock accessible from inside himself.

*Although Grimlock says he doesn't intend to kill the children, he doesn't seem to do anything that would prevent them from getting killed, should his suspicion that Blaster will come to save them prove wrong.

*The show on the TV set in panel 7, page 9 is ''[[Wikipedia:Sledge Hammer|Sledge Hammer!]]'', which also had a brief (two-issue) tie-in comic book published by Marvel.
