Talk:Vehicon (BM)

Where'd this "Cyberdrone" come from? I'm looking at the BWR packaging, and there's no mention on the it anywhere. Just "Veecon", which is basically how they SAY "Vehicon" (what with "veecle mode" being what every "vehicle mode" picture is labelled as, the closest they seem to get to "vehicle"...). --M Sipher 04:31, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

As an update, the Japanese TF wiki doesn't have anything on the Vehicons being "Cyberdrones" either. (It does, however, say a lot of stuff about the Japanese dub of BM that confirms that Japan produces the worst TF fictions ever.) --M Sipher 05:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

The term Cyberdrone was used in RiD... but it referred to protoforms, not Vehicons (whom RiD also name-drops, possibly in the same episode.) ...what does the JWiki say about BWR? -207.224.83.190 07:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Buhwah? There's a Japanese counterpart to us? Interrobang 05:31, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I propose an exchange student program! We send them Derik, we get a break from Derik. -hx 05:38, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Nooo, don't drop me on a foreign Wiki! I can barely SPEAK Japanese, and I can't read it at all! I'll be good, I promise! ...mostly. -207.224.83.190 07:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, OUR WIKI'S JAPANESE COUNTERPART IS NEARBY... REAL NEARBY! -hx 05:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Sonic Attack Jets or Aero Drones?

Jetstorm explicitly refers to them as "aero drones" in the series, so I think that's the name we should go with, unless we're specifically referring to the toy. JW 00:37, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Tank drone

I'm not familiar with the fiction at hand, but should Blastcharge and Quake be listed as successors of Tankor, or are their drones something unique? Is Quake just a redeco of Tankor?KrytenKoro 15:19, 21 February 2013 (EST)

In Wreckers #1, Tank Drones look like they do on the show. They are distinct from Quake and his drones, which are modeled after the toy. In-universe, they are not the same thing. --ItsWalky 17:33, 21 February 2013 (EST)

Thanks! Followup, are Quake's drones specifically called "tank drones" (meaning that the wiki has to use that name also), or is there some way that list could make it more clear what's going on? Something like, "Variant tank drones", maybe?KrytenKoro 18:51, 21 February 2013 (EST)

RiD cartoon Vehicons

Is there a reason why the RiD cartoon's mention of Vehicons got moved to this page? All the AVP answer about Air Attack Optimus Primal said was that quantum orphan Megatron created Vehicons in the future era of Viron 102.0 Beta. There's nothing pertaining to 21st century Slapper's mention about Vehicon drones. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 00:50, 10 October 2015 (EDT)

"Warpscream Continuity"?

Primax 208.06 Zeta is referred to as the "Warpscream Continuity" on this page, but that's a term that doesn't show up when searching the site. AFAICT the term only shows up on the Primax 208.06 Zeta page. Kinda confusing. Should there be a page dedicated to Warpscream? Or should there be, at least, a link to Primax 208.06 Zeta in the text?
