Talk:Canada

Umm... Wha?--Chiasaur11 Ah, that's better, but it should mention SCTV or Dinosaur comics.

Or, better still, cruelly stereotype our neighbors to the north in various contridictory manners!--Chiasaur11

Done and done. --ItsWalky 21:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much sir.--Chiasaur11

In the interests of stereotyping, I demand you make an article about Australia! Since it's appeared a few times in fiction and a few Autobots inexplicably sort of have our accents. Yes. --FFN 21:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Those are Nebulonian accents.--Chiasaur11

(wields cricket bat in a menacing fashion that Sledge would approve of) you wanna take it outside the pub, mate?!? --FFN 03:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Bring it on, you digeridoo-diddling chunder-monkey. --M Sipher 05:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I am reminded of a Monty Python sketch. --FortMax 14:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Dreamwave's success led to the production of the 2007 movie? What?

Under our "non-fiction" section we have "It was also home to the now-defunct Dreamwave Productions whose top-selling 2002 Generation 1 revival comic led directly to the production of the 2007 movie." Really? Isn't that quite overstating things? I would say RID, Armada and Dreamwave led to a boomtime for Transformers overall, but the film wasn't made because the comic was popular - Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto wanted to do a GI Joe movie, but decided not to because of the US invasion of Iraq. Carol Munroe of Hasbro suggested doing a Transformers movie instead. Essentially, this meant Murphy and DeSanto weren't even considering Transformers until Hasbro suggested it. So how can Dreamwave's success "[lead] directly to the production of the movie? --FFN 16:05, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

Because they may have been developing one, in the general sense, before that time... but they didn't get a studio to sign on or financing until thwe Transformers comic shot to #1 and proved that TF really was the big dog of 1980's nostalgia properties. -Derik 16:40, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

Question is, though, was Dreamwave a pivotal factor or just jumping onto a bandwagon? The Transformers nostalgia trainw as already in motion with the success of Robots in Disguise and the plans for Armada. A Transformers comic might or might not have been a hit purely for the nostalgia factor no matter who had published it. Basically, the "If no Dreamwave, then no movie" equation is a little too simple for my tastes.--Nevermore 16:52, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

This definitely needs a source. Otherwise it's little more than speculation. --Detour 16:55, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

Fix this damn Article. It's an insult.

No it's not. From one Canadian to another, learn to take a bloody joke. --Detour 14:50, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

I doubt that, as Canadians can come up with funnier things about our own Country. I also want proper respect to Beast Wars being Canadian.

It was a Canadian-US coproduction. The writers were in America, while the animators and voice actors were in Canada. I'd say it's about 66% Canadian, 34% American.--Spin-Out 16:20, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

It was, however, produced, distributed and financed for an American audience first and foremost, unlike Reboot. Which is why we call it an American series. --Detour 16:22, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

Why not just compromise at "North American" instead of fighting over what percentage was US and what percentage was Canadian? --DrSpengler 18:58, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

The original Transformers cartoon was produced in part by Nelson Shin, who even directed TFTM, and a decent chunk of it was also animated in Korea. Despite that, it is considered an American series, not a Korean-American one. --Detour 19:32, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

I'm down with that. I just figure saying "North American" would both be accurate in origin AND shut all these blubbering hosers up. --DrSpengler 19:58, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

IDW Infestation 2: The Transformers #1

Should we mention this in the article? A lot of what happens with the fish people, and other things happen in Canada. Even Optimus Prime is hidden under a Canadian glacier! --Twister 18:27, 11 February 2013 (EST)
