'''DO NOT DELETE THIS.''' It's the most awesome joke article we have! -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 01:11, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
*If you don't want to delete it...why put a deletion tag on the article? -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 01:15, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

:I think it should go, awesome as it is. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:28, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

:I didn't put the tag on it. Derik inexplicably did after creating it himself, look at the history. -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 01:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

::I have to agree with Walky, it's a little too unencyclopedia for my taste.
::The first half is meh-okay, in that it talks about a real 'thing,' (the noticeable proliferation of the word 'blast' and possible reasons for it) but the fake Bashō irked me- quote format should be for real quotes. Plus it asserts that the ontological 'school of thought' actually ''exists,'' I'd be more chill about it if it simply suggested the zen-archery thing as an abstract counter-argument, but it says fans actually believe this.
::Plus blastification isn't a real fandom term, and we're pretty strict about that. The article would have to move to like, [[Proliferation of the word blast]] or just [[blast]].
::It's parody not sarcasm, and outright parody articles making stuff up don't belong on the wiki, which is why I marked it for deletion in the first place. Unless the fandom starts spontaneously using the term blastification between now and whenever there's a final decision, I have to affirm my vote for deletion.

::However, since that's still pending... does anyone know where I could find a comic-book panel of a Transformer (preferably Galvatron) shouting '''"Blast!"'''? The article could use a visual. -<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva; font-size: 15px;">[[User:Derik|Derik]]</span> 02:37, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Er... but... you... wrote... it?--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]] 03:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

::::And thus marking it for deletion was ''very responsible'' of me, don't you think?
::::(Art is only pleasing because it is transitory.) -<span style="font-family: Monotype Corsiva; font-size: 15px;">[[User:Derik|Derik]]</span> 03:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

:::::This article is awesome. I have saved it for posterity and intend to publish it in many scientific journals. Or maybe just post it to some newsgroup. -[[User:Autobus Prime|Autobus Prime]] 17:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

...Was just watching Heavy Metal War on Youtube, and noticed that Wheeljack actually wields a weapon called the "Shockblast Cannon".

It may be redundant to mention that it blew up the first time he tried to fire it..--[[Special:Contributions/82.41.82.198|82.41.82.198]] 05:38, 21 April 2009 (EDT)

== What could have been ==

* [[Outback|Outblast]]
* [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumbleblast]]
* [[Bluestreak|Blaststreak]]

Be glad we never got any of those.--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 14:53, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

Um... you -do- know that some explosives have blast charges in them? Just sayin, that's not really blastification...

....And damn I want to see a toy named Bumbleblast.
