Flywheels and The List

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Scavengers' first appearance (and our own article on the DJD's list) say that Flywheels was added to the list alongside his fellow Scavengers for aiding Fulcrum, but here he's on Shockwave's ship with a bunch of other dudes who are reportedly ALL on said list. An error, or is Flywheels not actually on the list in the flashback? -hx (talk) 12:36, 7 February 2018 (EST)

Tarn does only say that "they're all on the list" after they've already killed Flywheels, so there's no particular contradiction. Still, I'm content to wait this out; Flywheels is such a specific character to put in the scene, to show leaving with Scorponok when we know what happens to him later, that I'm assuming there's at least a little something going on here we've not been told yet. - Chris McFeely (talk) 12:55, 7 February 2018 (EST)

To be fair, Shockwave didn't say EVERYONE on the ship was on the list, just that his ship contained 31 listers. Flywheels could have been safe but left anyway because he didn't know if he was on their list and didn't want to stick around to find out. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 17:30, 7 February 2018 (EST)

He doesn't say it, but it's implicitly the point. Scorponok flags up what a weird crew of losers and nobodies he's picked, singling out Flywheels as an example. The reason Shockwave picked them is because they're DJD targets. - Chris McFeely (talk) 05:23, 8 February 2018 (EST)

Bludgeon

It says that Bludgeon wasn't in Garrus-9 to be released, but I'm not seeing how this is incompatible with AHM 15. It seems like there would certainly be enough time for Bludgeon and Monstructor to get released and then bump into Hot Rod during the Surge, or am I missing something? -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 05:48, 21 June 2021 (EDT)
