Talk:Suppressor (Generations)

Isn't Suppressor actually a Decepticon spy infiltrating the Autobots? The line on the packaging bio "Risk capture behind enemy lines" has to refer to the Autobots as being the enemies. Bass X0 (talk) 07:34, 4 August 2014 (EDT)

I agree. I think the two characters are one in the same and that the pages should perhaps be merged(?). Though the wiki has that Universe Mini-Con pack, which includes Suppressor, as in the Armada series. Does the packaging state that? or were they placed there out of assumption/ organizations sake?

The pack is labelled as "Armada Series", so Universe Suppressor is definitely a Unicron Trilogy character. Jalaguy (talk) 16:36, 11 August 2014 (EDT)

I strongly disagree with the "Decepticon spy" interpretation of the bio. For reference:

Fiercely loyal to the AUTOBOT cause, CLIFFJUMPER sometimes allows his suspicious nature to override good judgement when it comes to rooting out traitors. Before a vital scouting mission, CLIFFJUMPER is certain he's already discovered a DECEPTICON spy: his partner, SUPPRESSOR. A new recruit whose loyalties are murky, SUPPRESSOR must earn his comrade's trust or risk capture behind enemy lines.

Rather than any part of this actually indicating Suppressor to be a genuine traitor at risk of being captured by Cliffjumper, I'm reasonably certain that the bio is saying Cliffjumper's Cliffjumper-ness is endangering the scouting mission (which, being a scouting mission, naturally takes them behind enemy lines) and putting them both at risk of being captured by the Decepticons. This is a much more natural reading in my view. The bit about Cliffjumper's "suspicious nature [overriding] good judgement" is setting up for him to do something stupid out of distrust, the scouting mission is only relevant if it relates to the part about enemy lines, and if Suppressor is really a traitor then Cliffjumper isn't his "comrade." --Andrusi (talk) 00:11, 19 August 2014 (EDT)

One way or another, there's nothing that actually says he's a Decepticon, is there? There shouldn't be a Decepticon symbol on the top of his page. --Crockalley (talk) 17:43, 20 August 2014 (EDT)

Yeah, all it really says is that Cliffjumper is convinced he's a Decepticon spy. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 18:00, 20 August 2014 (EDT)

Am I the only one who got that the "Cliffjumper thinks he's a Decepticon Spy" thing is because Suppressor is an homage to the Mini-spy? --Phantom Dusclops'92 (talk) 14:04, 30 January 2017 (EST)
