Rose.T: /* Plastic or Marble? */

Plastic or Marble?

New page

I remember reading on a messageboard that in Japan there was a story published chronicling Galvatron's relationship with Megatron (BW) and their competition for leadership of the Predacon rebellion. I even heard there was art of Megatron and Galvatron fighting. Is ANY of this true or is it more messageboard BS? Cuz I can't find squat on any of that stuff. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 04:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
: I do remember the art, but I remember it in the context of "Welcome to the new characters you should be buying!" publicity shots that we saw in magazines at the end of BW's run in Japan. There was also a (more popular) image of LioConvoy and Primal shaking hands. I don't recall the story. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 04:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

The "story" might've just been some fan "narrating" the events depicted in the art. I read this on a messageboard, after all. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find the pic, do you? It's kind of a curiousity I've been pining for and Google isn't worth s*** for this sorta thing. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 04:28, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

:Google isn't the right plave to look for this, you need someplace else. I'm pretty sure I can track it down for you (and I KNOW the backstory you speak of is legit.) ...but I just finished a baby shower with my family, wherein we hosted 37 people, so I have very little energy to spare.

:If your'e actualyl ONLINE Speng, AIM me and I'll track a reference for you. Othereise I'll probably gforget and do my Bill & Ted Dust/wind impression. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 04:35, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

== Appointing EoD's? ==

Hey, where's this from? It's the first I've heard of it, outside of a speculative note by Hydra on an article, which was definately not part of the source material. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 23:43, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Two things, mostly. In Japanese continuity, the Tripredacus/Trypticon Council play exactly the same role as they do in American continuity and have their hands in the Predacon rebellion. The other are a few remarks made by Magmatron in Neo about being "elected" after Galvatron. ''Someone'' is selecting Emperors of Destruction, and the obvious choice would be the Trypticon Council. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 23:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

:So in other words, nothing. You've jsut said, as a fact, the Tripredicus Council elects EoD's, and there's nothign int he cannon sayign that.
:And Megatrone was an EoD, but there's plenty of evidence he was NEVER int he TPC's good graces. How did that happen?

:Predacon politics are my special interest, and I can tell you right ogff, even if the TPC could elect EoD, they would not-- it's completely counterr to almost everythign about their overall goals. But- see- it wouldnt' turprise me if some dumbass japanese writer decided it'd be kewl to establish that some place. So when someone who has more direct interaction with the japanese material than I do states that as a fact, I narurally assume that he knows what he's talkign about- even if it blows the way predacon politcs are SUPPSOED to work to shreds-- because the Nipponese are stupid enuf to do that. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 00:59, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

::If I seem touchy-- there was a fan in TF fandom who had a lot of direct-contact with Japanese material, and he published guide and stuff... but mised in witht he stuff that was actualyl THERE, he'd put stuff that "seems likely" to him. And Neale's grasp of the meta-picture of hwo TF works was not strong enough to pull that off. And people cited it as fact. Still DO. I keep a mental list of %^&*( I know he spread aroudn the fandom, that keeps gettign repeated, and I know to be false. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 01:03, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

==Plastic or Marble?==
Hi there,
Odd little quibble here, but I was surprised to read the description of Galvy's "Galva-Matrix" as a clear plastic ball. Having owned the toy (although, unfortunately, not currently having it to hand), I could have sworn that the piece in question was actually a clear glass marble. Now, I'm not saying I'd bet my house on it, but I distinctly remember finding the material very odd and wondering what it was (i.e., I certainly didn't think it was just simple clear plastic) and tapping it with my fingernails to find it had a very hard, glassy feel to it. Does anyone else have this understanding? Or better yet, can anyone who owns one, and can easily pull it out, check this?
Cheers,

--[[User:PacifistPrime|PacifistPrime]].
