Minerva robot & Thrustinator

Should these guys have their own pages? It seems Kreon Autobot Minerva is different from the human. We don't know Thrustinator's story. ... and also, I think that purple leg is Armada Sideways. --M Sipher

And do we really have to list Sideways as Doubleface? Because then that means we have to list Devcon as Defcon, but we used Devcon as the name for that.Escargon 20:27, 1 October 2013 (EDT)

"Do we really have to list Sideways as Doubleface?" Yes, we do. --ItsWalky 21:21, 1 October 2013 (EDT)

That's probably Rad, isn't it?

The human kid, I mean. If only there was some way he could tell us about the Traaaansformers. -hx 20:17, 3 October 2013 (EDT)

According to the Allsparks forum on this, it's some kid from the Armada episode Carnival that was in the Micron Legend book and is based off some super obscure Anime character. As in so obscure that Chris McFeely didn't even know.Escargon 20:19, 3 October 2013 (EDT)

Tailgate joke

Can someone explain this whole Tailgate "that boy ain't right" joke? TransFormersfan1 (talk) 18:42, 13 December 2020 (EST)

No idea. It didn't have the link originally, but someone added it years ago without explanation. I've gone in and removed it. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:52, 13 December 2020 (EST)

Should I remove the joke/link on Tailgate's page? And remove the phrase from this page? TransFormersfan1 (talk) 11:19, 14 December 2020 (EST)

I believe it to be a reference to this note on Tailgate's page;

"Fan speculation about Tailgate's gender—always presented as male—broke out across Tumblr when a More than Meets the Eye promo called him "The Ingenue", a term for a female stock character."

and in this comic, Megatron wears a piece of clothing usually associated with woman, but that's my best guess.DDog (talk) 12:23, 14 December 2020 (EST)

It's a reference to the long-running animated comedy King of the Hill, where the main character Hank Hill would often comment "That boy ain't right" in regards to his hapless son Bobby's antics. Bobby and Tailgate share the same naive, yet well-meaning and sensitive characterization, so it's a pretty apt comparison. --Nu-Priest (talk) 13:18, 14 December 2020 (EST)

Oh, I got where the "That boy ain't right" came from, but linking to Tailgate because "he's kind of like Bobby Hill" is a stretch at best. Far as I can tell, the two pages have nothing to do with one another, but they link to each other just because they each make a "That boy ain't right" joke. That's just confusing and unnecessary. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 13:30, 14 December 2020 (EST)

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. For some reason I didn't realize what page the caption in question was on. I agree. --Nu-Priest (talk) 14:15, 14 December 2020 (EST)
