Talk:Crystal Widow

Okay... I think i figured out who Crystal Widow is. I mean- she's a baffelign character, so close to BA but not- we think. And what would side-changing matter if she'd been plucked from another reality by Primus? She could just lie.

This is my answer.

The TFU CD-rom comic tells a tale of yet-another-TFU, this one where, well... just read it. It's really, really altered. Unicron kidnaps a troupe of Decepticons from it. (whom he'll presumably make fight to the death.)

Reptilion is the main character in this comic. He has the most lines, the dramatic confrontation, He's foregroudned among the Decepticons when in battle, etc. I assume THIS is the backstory of the Reptillion from TFU#1, since we never learned any different- this is how he got kidnapped by Unicron.

What if this is ALSO the world Crystal Widow came from? She's also kidnapped here.

Tarantulus, who's secretly pullign Unicron's strings, has a mad-on for Blackarachnia, and so eh specificly kidnaps and re-corrupts her. As a result her doppleganger finds herself at loose ends, possibly in danger of beign disposed of, and defects to the Autobots.

It's just- we see Reptillion, Razorclaw, Tankorr Obesidian and "Blackarachnia" kidnapped here. We KNOW these versions of Tankorr, Obsidian and Razorclaw must die in combat or something- because we know the backstories of the ones from TFU#1, and this ain't it. That leaves Reptillion at loose ends- and someone that coudl be EITHER Blackarachnia or Crystal Widow.

...that's all I've got. It's pretty weak. I think the case for Reptillion is much stronger. Thoughts? -Derik 12:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually checking Reptillion's TFU profile, ti describes the circumstances of his abduction,a nd this aint' it!

So what was the purpose of the TFU cyber-comic? CLEARLT THIS IS CRYSTAl WIDOW'S ORIGIN.

It works for me, since she has absolutely no other bio or characterization ever and I enjoy filling in blanks. It's aweful tenative and thin a connection though to actually put in an entry. I suppose it could make a continuity note in her entry if nothing else, since it's the only "explanation" for the character we have so far.... Maybe a note something like:

(Note: In the CD-Rom pack in TF:U comic we see a new alternate reality, different from the one the main TFU story occurs in, coincidentally featuring different versions of many of the main TFU characters waring on Cybertron. Unicron gathers combatants from among them. In one panel there is a character drawn like Blackarachnia/Crystal Widow (who was certainly intended to be BA when the comic was drawn) that is kidnapped by Unicron for the Universe conflict. Since the BA featured in the main Universe story is NOT this character (Her origin can be seen in the 3H Universe comic) it can be speculated that *perhaps* she is Crystal Widow instead.)

Would that work? ZacWilliam 13:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Something liek that, but shorter. IMO the gist of it is- "5 Decepticons were kidnapped, one of whom looks liek Crystal Widow, and we know the other 4 DIDN'T make it to the TFU comic." Just raise the possibility. -Derik 13:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

That's entirely too speculative for this wiki. --ItsWalky 16:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Walky. That's a fan-retcon at best, backed by nothing official. --M Sipher 19:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Even I don't grasp at straws this thin. X-BoB58 20:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
