Talk:Grimlock's New Brain

Rodimus/Hot Rod "blooper"?

Well, there's a conflict of opinion, so let's discuss.

Rodimus Prime never turned back into Hot Rod without removing the Matrix from his chest. The last time Rodimus Prime lost control of his transformation, he turned into the Winnebaggo as always. It looks to me more like Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime's character models got switched by mistake at some point. Gauthier is still using his Rodimus voice rather than his Hot Rod voice. He reverts back to his Rodimus model inexplicably as the Technobots fight the Terrorcons. Doesn't make any sense, it reeks of blooper, in my opinion. --Detour 11:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

But he's *not* using his Rodimus voice - he's speaking with the different, higher-pitched "younger" voice he traditionally uses for Hot Rod when he says: "It's happening again! Perceptor!" Youtube link I don't disagree that it's completely nonsensical, or anything, but it really looks like it was intentional, like the anti-electrons affected his body and turned him back into Hot Rod for some reason. - Chris McFeely (not signed in)

Fair enough. Really seemed like a blooper to me, though. Thanks for correcting me. --Detour 17:17, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Was at work when I added that previous response, so when I was struck with the idea to check the original script, I couldn't, but I'm home now and I've had a look, and indeed, the line I quoted is, in fact, credited to "Hot Rod," rather than Rodimus. I guess the anti-electrons made him lose his connection to the Matrix, maybe? - Chris McFeely 19:06, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Sound Effect

I noticed while watching this episode recently that Perceptor's 'Electro-map' sounds like a tri-corder from Star Trek: The Original Series. Femmes Rule! 17:07, 12 December 2011 (EST)

Creating Transformers

Is it me, or is it ridiculously easy to create Cybertronian life in the original cartoon? I mean, first you've got the Dinobots created on Earth by Wheeljack and Spike; later (depending upon how you chose to look at things), Megatron creates the Constructions, or, following the same vein, the Constructions create Megatron. And then the Technobots get built in like twenty seconds by Grimlock, which has to be some kind of speed record. I know all this silliness happend before the concept of the spark was introduced, but it does make it seem kinda... cheap, right?
