Talk:Giant Autobot instant camera

Wait, what? Absolutely nothing in the episode suggests this is an actual Autobot. It's just a camera with an Autobot sigil, it's not like it's the first inanimate object in TF fiction to be adorned with that. --Detour 03:52, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Its scale is ridiculous. It is far to large for even the largest of Transformers to use in camera mode. (Possibly gestalts...)

Taken at face value it must be a Transformer. -Derik 04:25, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

No, taken at face value, it's a giant automatic camera. Please don't conflate "face value" with "things I made up". —Interrobang 07:12, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Gigantic camera with an Autobot symbol? I might be on Derik's side. --ItsWalky 09:20, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

At the very least, I'm sure we can just move it to "Giant Autobot instant camera" and treat it as a piece of equipment with a note that it might be a Transformer. No real need for outright deletion. - Chris McFeely 09:55, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Uh, yeah... I'm really uncomfortable declaring this a living robot on the basis of... having a symbol. We all know scale is about as unreliable a judge as you can get around these parts, and various characters in Victory are frickin' huge. Without a voice or such... I'm loathe to go declaring this a living entity. It really does feel made up to do so. I'm all for McFeely's suggestion. --M Sipher 14:03, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm fine with McFeely's suggestion. While I feel my categorization is the correct one, I acknowledge that there is sufficient ambiguity to warrant a conservative approach. -Derik 14:30, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Also, Interrobang? "Reason for Deletion: Derik" is part of the reason I think you have a specific problem with me, which you've denied. -Derik 14:51, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

I don't think I've ever denied my issue with your tendency to jump to conclusions and take your assumptions and synthesis as fact. —Interrobang 19:12, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Your mother. -Derik 21:38, 19 July 2011 (EDT)
