Well, you name your kid Cancer, you gotta expect he'll grow up with some issues... --Nemesis Primal 01:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Crab vs Cobra

[edit]

Our anon editor there had a point -- Cancer/Squeezeplay DOES look a lot like a cobra, and... not so much like a crab at all, really. -- Repowers 21:46, 13 July 2009 (EDT)

Which raises the question of why he's named [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Cancer (astrology)|{{#if:Cancer|Cancer|Cancer (astrology)}}]] who was, of course, a crab (not that we should ever expect Japanese names to make much sense, of course). Either way, he looks like a generic, maybe kinda crab-ish monster wearing a snake like a headdress. The English name almost makes even less sense - he has a snake head, but he's not going be doing much squeezing with his body, unless its a hug, and he has no crab claws. That and "Squeezeplay" sounds like a weird fetish, but you can't win 'em all.--72.228.84.134 21:56, 13 July 2009 (EDT)
Eh, I took more umbrage at his tone and removing a decent caption. Whatever animal is most similar to the horrible monster that Cancer turns into is up to you guys. —Interrobang 21:59, 13 July 2009 (EDT)

Given his time as an Autobot, should he also have their crest at the top of the page?--MissRatbat (talk) 09:40, 11 October 2016 (EDT)
