Talk:Dirt Boss (Animated)

Bombshell?

Would it be worth pointing out that he seems to be a homage to G1 Bombshell? I mean he has his ability of controlling other bots, and those drill shells even shoot out of his head, just like Bombshell he even has a similar body build.Dead Metal 15:19, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

His personality isn't anything like Bombshell and he doesn't look very much like him to me, but it would be worth noting that he uses cerebro-shells. I think it is safe to say that those are cerebro-shells. - Starfield 15:57, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

I wouldn't, because they only control a bot's motor functions, not their minds. His victims are pretty clearly fully conscious of what's going on around them. --M Sipher 16:39, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

Megatron's influence

That fork lift was possibly in the vicinity of Megatron's head at some point, and he was known to take over Sumdac's equipment from time to time. It's a huge stretch, but it's a potential justification for him being 'born' a Decepticon. Cattleprod 00:57, 22 March 2009 (EDT)

Or maybe his Decepticon side comes from Starscream, whose body has been possessed by the Headmaster unit right before the accident. Or maybe both.--213.49.81.110 05:43, 22 March 2009 (EDT)

Lagann

Could someone provide a link for the Twitter bit? I can't find it, and I wanted to add it to the wikipedia article. - KrytenKoro98.223.230.49 23:41, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

I've been meaning to ask about it too. Would be nice to have a source. (PS: You can re-register your account, you know.) --Detour 23:49, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

I have. It doesn't seem to keep me logged in anymore, and I just don't feel like logging in all the way anymore.-KrytenKoro128.211.164.59 11:36, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

Motto

On Wikipedia's Dirt Boss page, the Animated bio features a motto. It goes, "If ya don't do what I tell ya to do, then I'll make ya do it!" While it's a perfect motto for Dirt Boss, I can't help but be a little doubtful over whether it's real or not. The main reason for this is that none of the Constructicons have received official bios from toys or magazine articles, as far as I know. Another thing that makes me doubtful is that it's Dirt Boss that gets a motto while Mixmaster and Scrapper have been around longer and have had more appearances. Why would Dirt Boss get a motto and those two don't? Anyone have any explanations for this? --Cydra 23:29, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

According to his official TFCC bio, his motto is "Build it, then extort it." So... I have no idea where Wikipedia got theirs. --Jeysie 23:33, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

TFCC? Don't believe I've heard of that. Can you post a link please or show some proof that it's real?--Cydra 00:43, 23 September 2009 (EDT)

TFCC=Transformers Collectors' Club. In this case, issue 28 of their magazine. (Penned by Derrick Wyatt.) --Jeysie 06:42, 23 September 2009 (EDT)
