Seriously, that thing is so ghastly ugly I can't believe it  even got far enough into production to have gotten custom stickers.  Just the "entirely phlegm-green truck for $45-ish" should have killed the idea long beforehand... right?  --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 02:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

If they'd made it straight up neon green, I'd buy it in a second, I kid you not.  I think I like it in concept first and foremost, big rolling chemical tanker of doom.--[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] 02:45, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 
 
Who (or what) exactly is Toxitron? The article talks about the toy, but doesn't explain what continuity or series he occupies (or would have). He looks like he could be the eighth Constructicon.

Main image

We've got to get Derrick Wyatt to do us an official version of this. It would be the best possible main image. --ItsWalky 20:58, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

Is he backwards, or just stupid?

[edit]

It's really funny to consider / write Toxitron as though he were Bizarro - doing and saying everything backwards. But it actually doesn't seem to be true, at least, not consistently. He drives backwards, and his transformation sound is backwards. But his words are in the right order, albeit stupid, i.e. "Me am save you with my axe thingy!" Even his negotiating for a longer sentence is stupid, not backwards. Are we misreading the character portrayal here? --Thylacine 2000 21:57, 11 March 2012 (EDT)

Bizarro in the comics doesn't say everything backwards. He doesn't say words or sentences in backwards order.--RosicrucianTalk 22:14, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
Yes, but if he was actually talking in Bizarro-speak, he'd say - to use the quote Thy supplied - "Me NO am save you!" I'm not sure if it was deliberate or just a slip from a writer not familiar with the intricacies of Bizarro-speak - the AA Addendum seems to move more in the direction of Bizarro-logic, in which he describes Dead End's horrible poems of torment and self-harm as beautiful and wonderful (and probably some other things I can't immediately recall right now). - Chris McFeely 06:26, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
