Talk:Scalpel's assistant

Scalpel Tool

Er, where did the term come from? Scalpel wasn't even called Scalpel in the movie... —Interrobang 21:39, 22 May 2010 (EDT)

Sounds like it's just Jolt Volt's fan name for them. --Detour 21:58, 22 May 2010 (EDT)

Maybe it's something from a foreign version of the movie? He is from Brazil. --NCZ 22:04, 22 May 2010 (EDT)

Hey! I'm surprised these guys didn't have a page yet. If they don't have an official name, this is as good of a nickname as any other, but it should be lower case "tool". - Starfield 22:14, 22 May 2010 (EDT)

Are they called anything in the novelisation? --abates 22:28, 22 May 2010 (EDT)

In the novel there are three different kinds of little robots.

• A "pack of insectlike robots" - these have wings and fly around. They dropped the worm.
• One that "looked like a worm". This one violated Sam's mouth.
• Two "menacing little machines" that held open Sam's mouth while the worm entered.

So the novel isn't helpful on names. - Starfield 22:43, 22 May 2010 (EDT)

How about "Scalpel's tool" for the article name? There are two insecticon-type critters which drop the worm off, but the two "menacing" machines aren't in the movie. --abates 23:11, 22 May 2010 (EDT)

"Scalpel's assistants" sounds better IMO. Nice umbrella term for the lot of them.--Carrion 00:23, 23 May 2010 (EDT)

Deletion?

Why's this up for deletion? This isn't fanon; I'm fairly certain I remember these guys in the movie. If anything, the name is probably fanon, but that's it. --NCZ 22:15, 22 May 2010 (EDT)

I think it should be rewritten a little to be a little less vague. Like, what these creatures were used for, why was Sam in the clutches of the Decepticons in the first place, what it achieve. (I still don't own ROTF on DVD or BD, so my memories are a little fuzzy on this scene, or I'd do it myself). --FFN 13:08, 23 May 2010 (EDT)
