Sky Shadow: Identity is pretty much settled at this point

2021-08-15T18:36:03Z

Identity is pretty much settled at this point

New page

==Identity is pretty much settled at this point==
Some pals and I were goofin' around online when we started riffing on this page. Now that I actually look at the notes, though, its continued existence is kind of obscene. To paraphrase each of them:
*"He could be Ultra Magnus! Note: John Warden said it is not Ultra Magnus."
*"John Warden ALSO said he was essentially Ginrai, and that he goes on your chunky Optimus shelf."
*"It has Ginrai as a partner according to the Titan Master Crunch collector sheet! It could also be Ginrai, or the transtector who is also also called Ginrai."
*"Some pre-release info suggested there was going to be a blue guy called 'Magnus Prime (Super Ginrai)'!"
I've got a hankering for some shipshaping, but I know if I just do it someone will complain, so checking in here before I go ahead. [[User:Sky Shadow|Sky Shadow]] ([[User talk:Sky Shadow|talk]]) 14:36, 15 August 2021 (EDT)
