Talk:Sherman Dam

There was a Sherman Dam in RiD. Separate article, or...?

• It was hardly very important, so a "RID continuity" marker should be fine, I would think. I mean, look at the article for space bridge. Rather than create a seperate article for RID's Global Space Bridge, they just put it in there since it really didn't warrant one of its own. --DrSpengler 18:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

That, and also, Sherman Dam is real (it's in Nebraska). The precedent seems to be that things from the real world get cross-continuity-family articles--see Earth, President of the United States, Antarctica, etc. --Andrusi 18:49, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Aw fudge! The Decepticon Dam-Busters version of the Sherman Dam story takes place at a Boulder Dam! Laaaame. --ItsWalky 19:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

On another note since it's kinda sorta related, is there any way we can make an article for their hand-energy-weapons? Mostly because I wanna use that art by Hidetsugu Yoshioka from the back of Generations v1.0 because its so rockem sockem bitchin sweet. The energy axe and mace have been seen at least three times, anyway (Cartoon, manga, comic). --DrSpengler 20:15, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

The dam in Decepticon Dam-Busters was called Sherman Dam in Part. 1 and Boulder Dam in Part. 2. Don't know if this was corrected in the Collected Comics version. J'mie 21:35, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

...aha. No wonder my confusion. --ItsWalky 21:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Boulder Dam... discovered!

Check it out. This is a 1985 mail-away poster from Hi-C. The text is teensy weensy, but it says expressly that the Decepticons are going after "Boulder Dam." There's a different one that came from Fritos that ALSO features a fight over a dam, which is kind of weird - the "autobots and decepticons fight over a dam" meme really really took off for a while there, didn't it? I'm going to write them up later (I'm hoping I can get better scans of the second one's text first). Hooper_X 20:32, 30 April 2009 (EDT)
