	Hmmm. That "Mashougun" gag actually went over my head, there. The definately DOES work, and I doubt it's a coincidence. But I guess whether they're "Demonic Generals" or "Demonic Warriors" doesn't really matter. Personally, I like "Generals" better. Also, I added a stub for [[Violen Jygar]]. Haven't written the fiction summary yet, so I'll be sure to add that tid bit abut him being the cumulation of angry Decepticon Sparks (didn't know that until now). Thanks.--[[User:DrSpengler\|DrSpengler]] 00:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)		Hmmm. That "Mashougun" gag actually went over my head, there. The definately DOES work, and I doubt it's a coincidence.

			=="The Nemesis"==

			Should we include this in the toy section? I mean from the words of John Warden himself "Trypticon can also convert into The Nemesis, an incredible space fortress." While showing the vehicle mode.

	Cute bit of trivia regarding the UK release - the Marvel comic actually rounded up 10 as competition prizes. The competition emphasised that the toy was not 'normally' available in the UK - though an occasional recurring theme in letters pages was "I found this toy that you said isn't out in the UK"... Grimlock occasionally asked for readers to send packaging in so he could verify they were genuine toys, and opined they were. Don't know enough about UK 1980s toy shop ordering channels to come up with anything definitive, but I guess smaller independents went through different wholesalers - it's possible, considering the line seems to have had a slower decline over here, that we got shipped US overstock or something. The Trypticon competition was in #185 (Oct '88) which I'm guessing would be around the time he was discontinued in America.
