When was this Letters-page from? It it was from 1990 or later, I'mg onna have to back Hooper's idea that both Toaster and Carmen's name are multi-level puns designed to evoke somethign sound/music related, because the Carmen Curlers are a dutch chior oreganization founded in 90 that got a lot of of press because it was one of Europe's first Gay/Lesbian groups, back when that was touchy. They toured and stuff. -Derik 07:45, 6 April 2006 (PDT)
- Or it could just be a Bizet reference, dude. -hx
that would cover the musical reference, but she turns into a pair of curlers. Carmen's Curlers covera a musical reference PLUS her odd altmode. ...and it'd probably make her the first Transfomers lesbian. -150.253.70.55 15:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
