Talk:Bantor (Prime)

Bantor is a Fuzor, or at least he is after Ratchet added some tiger attributes to his mandrill beast mode.

Isn't that a bit literal for the gibberish a half-conscious Ratchet was spouting, especially since actual beastformers are rare in Aligned? Hell, "tiger in his tank" itself was quoting a petrol (gasoline) marketing slogan that suggested that a certain brand of petrol would make your engine run better. - Mammalian Verisimilitude 14:01, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

Ratchet mentioned the character. Whether real or dreamed he gets a page. And Ratchet being loopy isn't enough of a detractor to automatically assume he's entirely dreamed.--71.233.191.25 14:13, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

I was talking about the tiger/beast mode bit, and suggesting that Aligned Bantor might just have been a bit slow until Ratchet did something to pep him up (per the advert reference) rather than ass-u-me-ing he's a Fuzor. - Mammalian Verisimilitude 14:18, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

Why are we making this difficult? Agent Fowler asks "What's a Fuzor?!" and then Ratchet tells him a story about how Bantor was "all mandrill until I put a tiger in his tank." Why is "A Bantor exists in Aligned who is a mandrill/tiger Fuzor just like BW Bantor mandrill/tiger Fuzor" the laughable option compared to "Ratchet didn't really understand Fowler and said some gibberish that sounds like it made sense and indicated that a preexisting Transformers character also exists in this continuity but he didn't really mean it"? Why must we overthink this? --ItsWalky 14:33, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

(Actual beastformers are NOT rare in Aligned. At least 1/13 of all Transformers are beasts, since one of the Thirteen was a beast. They're as rare as female Transformers, of which the show has two.) --ItsWalky 14:34, 18 March 2012 (EDT)

(One of whom appears to be... partially beast.) --M Sipher 15:17, 18 March 2012 (EDT)
