This is the first time a garbage truck Transformer actually gets a toy. It's an actual alt-mode that hasn't been done as a toy before! ...and I'm more excited about that than I should be. --[[User:Nemesis Primal|Nemesis Primal]] 06:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
:Well actually, the show synopsys says that he transform from a pile of garbage, not FROM a garbage truck, so I don't reeally know how he will be look like. --[[User:Hepathos|Hepathos]] 07:46, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

<nowiki> I read that he was definitely a garbage truck somewhere. I'm not sure where, though, then again it was probably from that fansite mentioned in above comments. I doubt he'd be one of those dustbin-bots. They're robots anyway, and humanoid at that, (two arms, two legs), and so wouldn't make a very good alternate mode.</nowiki> [[User:Thyunda|Thyunda]] 11:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Did anyone notice the motorbike that Wreck-Car threw to Bumblebee ? [[User:Retroqqq|Retroqqq]] 16:18, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Would it be cool with everyone if I were to track down and '''''FUCKING STAB''''' the next person who claims that some arbitrary thing in Animated is a Gurren Lagaan reference? - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 20:51, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

A couple of quotes from [http://derrickjwyatt.blogspot.com/ Derrick Wyatt's blog] on this subject worth pointing out:

In response to question abouth whether Gurren Lagann was an influence on Headmaster's design:

* "About Gurren Lagann: No, actually. I hadn't seen Gurren Lagann until after we had finished most of the first season of TFA. I wish I had, because I would have had the Headmaster robot transform with stubby little legs. And maybe Masterson's head popping up out of the top of the robot.

And further elaboration:

* "About the inspiration and influences on TFA: I'm always inspired by Gainax's designs. They are by far my favorite animation studio in the world. I just hadn't seen anything on Gurren Lagann when we started TFA. We've definitely been inspired by that and Diebuster since. Prowl and Soundwave's glasses are a nod to 2000 AD's ABC Warriors. That and Mighty Orbots were the biggest influences on the designs."

So to some degree they've "definitely been inspired" by Gurren Lagann, not in the intial design phase but subsequently. Perhaps we oughta dial back the knee-jerk "THAT'S NOT A REFERENCE ARRGGH" reactions just a bit?

(P.S. I have no clue what "Gurren Lagann" is. Some anime, I'm assuming.) --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 09:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:This fella was claiming Wreck-Gar ''himself'' was a Gurren Lagann reference. So I feel perfectly comfortable knee-jerking here. If anything his TV head ''may'' be a Gainax reference, but we're talking more FLCL here.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 14:11, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::Was directed more at the original comment from Chris McFeely than your specific edit of this page. As it seems entirely possibly that the next time someone claims something is a Gurren Lagann reference, they may be right, and if so shouldn't be greeted with stab-rage. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 14:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Well I'm just saying, yes now that we're in the second season there is a chance that Wyatt is throwing some of those our way. It's just that the Gurren Lagann fanboys think ''everything'' is a Gurren Lagann reference. I think that's what McFeely's getting torqued about. They seem to ignore that nearly anything existed before.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 14:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Like the kamina shades. Which was claimed (in a ''waaah mean wiki'' whine on Derrick's blog) to have never been applied to robots before Gurren Lagann... meanwhile, I have some MegaMan/RockMan games from over a decade ago that say other-god-damn-wise. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 15:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::In this case I suspect it was "Oh he's red! And orange! And his chest kind of looks like a face! Maybe! If you squint! Total Gurren Lagann reference!"--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 15:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, and the name is actually twice as long and impossible to spell. But seriously, Mighty Orbots? I fangirled the moment I read that, so thank you. (Here's hoping for upcoming TFs named Bo, Boo, Crunch, Tor, Bort and Ohno... preferably a combiner team.) - [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 09:12, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

...don't spoil my stabbing. :( - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 17:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
: Did you guys saw that every robot has a face in this show? And in Gurren Lagann, the robots are called Ganmen, because they had faces on their chest? Totally referece, rite guise? (Now I feel all dirty.)--[[User:84.3.90.174|84.3.90.174]] 18:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, do we need a pic of red-eyed Wreck-Gar, to show his eeevil side? [[User:JW|JW]] 16:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"> From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</div>
