Jim-Bob's Diner
[edit]Jim-Bob's Diner (seen in Maximum Dinobots #2) is a reference to Jim Salicrup and Bob Budiansky. Jeff Steele "Jeff39042"
- And what is your reference? Jim Bob is also just a stereotypical southern name. --MistaTee 02:09, 23 July 2009 (EDT)
I thought of 'Jim-Bob' as a reference to Jim Salicrup and Bob Budiansky--NOT as a first name
[edit]Jim Salicrup and Bob Budiansky were instrumental to Marvel's Transformers series (and its spinoffs) of the '80s.
Jim Salicrup wrote Transformers #2-4 (1984) and edited Transformers Universe #1-4 (1986).
Bob Budiansky edited Transformers #1-4 (1984); wrote Transformers #5-15, 17-32, 35-42 and 44-55 (1984-1989); wrote and consult-edited Transformers Universe #1-4, edited Transformers: The Movie #1-3 (1986), drew the covers of Transformers #14, 29, 31, 45 and 47; and co-penciled Transformers #55. --Jeff39042 23:51, 25 July 2009 (EDT)
- It COULD be, but let's not postulate unless Simon states so somewhere, it's reaching a little.--MistaTee 18:17, 28 July 2009 (EDT)
- "Jim Bob" is the name of LOTS OF THINGS. --ItsWalky 18:23, 28 July 2009 (EDT)
Nick sez
[edit]"Way off, sir. It is a reference, but not to either of these gents. The target of my affection is my current co-writer on Last Stand of Them There Wreckers."
Nick Roche said Jim-Bob's Diner is a reference to The Last Stand of Wreckers co-writer James Roberts.

86 movie homage?
[edit]Not sure of the page (looking at the IDW collection #4, pg 133) I think the cell of Grimlock pounding Snarl's head into the ground is an homage to Devastator similarly pounding Sludge in the 1986 movie. In the movie, there's the loony toons effect on Sludge's eyes popping out, in this cell, there's a glowing effect. Two cells later Grimlock pounds Sludge's head into the ground without the glowing effect. Thoughts? Can I add this to the items of note?
- So, neither participant is the same and there's a different effect and it's a thoroughly generic combat maneuver and you think it's an homage? --Khajidha 08:55, 14 September 2011 (EDT)
