Talk:Oil Slick (Animated)

76.20.88.10: /* Chestface */

Wheelie? Come on guys, that design has a stronger [[Cy-Kill]] feel than it does a Wheelie feel. Heck, the transformation is similar to Cy-Kill's, minus partsforming. And Cy-Kill got a black-and-green repaint that's so much awesomer than his red, white and blue color scheme too. Plus, they're both totally evil motorcycles. So I'm asking, before I get reverted and labeled a caption bastard... can I change the Wheelie ref to a Cy-Kill ref? --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 07:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

== Chestface ==

Looking at [http://toyfair08.asmzine.com/gallery/hasbro/transformers-animated/slides/IMG_9099.html this image of Lockdown] and comparing to [http://toyfair08.asmzine.com/gallery/hasbro/transformers-animated/slides/IMG_9230.html this image of Oil Slick], yeah, there's a resemblance. But really, I'd say that's supposed to be a very stylized bird on Oil Slick's chest. The triangular sections at the top are the head pointing at the viewer, angled down so you get sort of a top view of the beak. The four segments at the bottom are tailfeathers. I can go for a tongue-in-cheek comment about Lockdown's face, but Carrion and Rosicrucian obviously think Thy means it seriously.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 02:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
:Psst. Those are both Lockdown.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 02:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
::Grr...bloody "Copy" keyboard command not paying attention to me. Fixed now.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 02:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
:it's definitely some kind of tribal design, but it doesn't look anything like Lockdown's face.--[[User:Carrion|Carrion]] 03:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
::Compare it to [[Bug Bite|Bug Bite's]] tribal tattoo. No guns, similar tats, obscure but established color scheme? Evidence is mounting that he actually IS Cy-Kill. --[[User:76.20.88.10|76.20.88.10]] 19:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)<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>

: Thereabouts, yeah. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 05:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

== Alternate meaning ==

Some fans use "Beastformer" as a term for any TF with an animal mode, does anyone else think that this article should include some kind of acknowledgment of that? --[[User:TVsGrady|TVsGrady]] 00:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
:I don't. "Beastformer" had a specific meaning prior to being used in that way.--[[User:Chip|Chip]] 05:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
:A disambiguation sounds reasonable. "____Former" is common enough in casual transfan discourse that a fan could arrive at this page expecting to or looking for information on all Beast-Transfomers. Although since the wiki usually uses American names, I'm not sure why the article isn't titled Battle Beasts.
::What would the disambiguation even lead to? We don't have an article on animal Transformers in general, and I don't think we need to make one. --[[User:Suki Brits|Suki Brits]] 00:03, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, in regards to the article being under the Japanese name, its because in none of the Battle Beasts' appearances in US Transformers fiction have they ever been identified as "Battle Beasts". I, personally, think the article should be called "Battle Beasts" since that's the logical equivalent to the Japanese name...but I got out-voted. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 23:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Wait, there was a vote? I would've been all in for Battle Beasts. I don't get why these guys are the lone exception to the "Western Names" rule.--[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] 00:13, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

::::Seconded. I could use it as an excuse to make Blackthorne Comics articles if we ever track down all four of those issues! :D -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 00:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I think it's a little different here since there is no American name ''within Transformers'' for these guys, and we generally don't use extra-TF information. Regardless, it's not a big deal to me either way, but I do think that difference is worth noting. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 01:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

: What Steve said. If the Battle Beasts ever get more than unnamed cameos in US TF fiction (hey, who knows), then yeah, I'd say switch over to those names. But as of now, the only official, part-of-Transformers nomenclature for the little critters we have comes out of th eland of the rising sun... --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 03:17, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

If they're from the planet beest, let's just call them Beesties!--[[User:Zodberg|Zodberg]] 04:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

== Laser Beasts ==
Given that the laser beasts are explicitly from the same universe as the other Beastformers, shouldn't they be covered by the wiki? I know we don't cover every G.I. Joe, nor should we, but I see two key differences:

1) Beastformers aren't a separate property that's had crossovers with TF, but an actual offshoot of TF.

2) There is no organized Beastformer fandom to take care of this stuff for us.

I think it would at least be reasonable to cover the characters. [[User:Chip|Chip]] 03:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC) (Forgot to sign in)

:Chip, is that you? :)
:I agree, especially since the story booklet introducing the Laser Beasts gave a full-fledged origin story to the planet Beest, which we'd be remiss in excluding just because there weren't Autobot and Decepticon symbols on the pages. -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 03:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

:I also cast my vote for "yes, please", if only because I wanna know the origin of planet Beest. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 03:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
::No individual articles for characters not sold as TF's. But cover the info in a general article about Beastformers? Sure. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 03:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
:::[[Snake-Eyes|Ahem.]] [[User:Chip|Chip]] 04:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah, may want to check that policy. I say we do Laser Beasts solely because I have the Laser Beast card mural to stick on the page. Yes, that is an excellent reason indeed.--[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] 06:12, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== Japanese names? ==

Where do they come from? Have they been re-transliterated lately?
I ask because I was trying to figure out "Beavup," and realized it could just as well be "Bebop."<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>

Talk:Sparkplug Witwicky

2008-02-20T07:56:13Z

76.20.88.10: /* The OTHER other first name */ new section

==Sparkplug's Real Name==
IIRC, he gives his name as both William and Irving in the comics, one when he's being held captive in issue #3, the other when he's hypnotized by Ratbat in "Car Wash Of Doom!". I forget which one he gives where, though. He also gives his Military I.D. number in issue #3, though. That'd make a nice addition to the article. Like I suggested, his actual name is probably William Irving or Irving William. Perhaps someone with military experience can shed some light on the usage of names by captured troops? (i.e., would he give his birth name or his preferred name, or what?) Either way, I'd assume the name he gave under hypnosis is accurate. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 14:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

X-BoB has added that Sparkplug is killed in some drafts of hte movie. I've never heard this before, and it does not appear in the script. Can anybody cite a source for this info? X-BoB, do you know where you heard it?

--[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 00:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I tought I heard that somewhere but maby not I'll just take that part down for now [[User:X-BoB58|X-BoB58]] 02:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Y'know what, X-Bob? If you're going to post it somewhere like this, you need more sources than 'I thought I heard it somewhere'. For example, I thought I heard that your mother's a whore. I guess that's a fact now! --[[User:RolonBolon|RolonBolon]]

Thanks, X-Bob.

--[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 05:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

== The OTHER other first name ==

In Marvel #1 and #2, the sign on his auto shop says "S. Witwicky Auto Repairs." Why would he abbreviate a nickname? "Sparkplug's Auto Repairs" or even "Sparky's" would sound a lot better...
