Talk:Mainframe (G1)

I'm fairly sure Mainframe was seen in SOME story. Am I being confused by TF Chronicles again? --ItsWalky 18:44, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't remember ever seeing him. And I've never read Chronicles anyway. <single tear> - Jackpot 19:00, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

If we're going to use this cat, we should probably go thru US 76-80 and play spot-the-actonmaster, I remember there were a couple weird un-obvious ones. having a master list would be handy. -Derik 19:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Mainframe was, I believe, one of the advisors telling Rodimus not to be a dumbass and send out all those spaceships like the Sojourner's Passage. -LV 23:19, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

No, but Rad was, interestingly enough. --M Sipher 23:25, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, Rad is an aerospace engineer. That makes sense. Although I also then share Walky's nagging feeling that he appeared somewhere. -LV 14:44, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Here's a weird one- I rewatched "Fight Or Flee" today, and most of the crowd that Sandstorm speaks to have head designs that look particularly like Mainframe's (although they all have generic box bodies). Anyone ever run across any note of this, or am I catching a total coincidence here?--MCRG 03:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

...you know, you're right. Mainframe's head does bear a notable resemblance to the Paradons. -Derik 03:42, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

It occurred to me that Action Master designers at the time were probably using some of the cartoon reference sheets, so I speculate that they might've run across the Paradron generics and it influenced the design. Again, total speculation on my part.

Well, if you can get a clean screen grab, it might be worth a Trivia mention. Wihtout a screen grab... I'd be leery of bringing it up on the page proper. --M Sipher 04:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

How's that? --Tindalos 06:18, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Yep, exactly the dudes I saw. A couple different colored versions of those guys show up elsewhere in the same episode.--MCRG 07:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Eh... It's the right head, but the body's completely different. I'm not sure it's enough to count, especially since they're obviously generics. - Dark T Zeratul 10:21, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Ark Computer -same guy?

Like are we so sure that mainframe the action master is the same as the ark Computer? Their colors don't match.

They have the same name and same visual design. Colors change all the time. Saix (talk) 00:39, 8 March 2023 (EST)
