Having just listened to that interview, his comments seem just vague enough not to warrant such a definitive statement for anyone other than Grimlock. I think, at best, you could say those characters are *very likely* to be POPs (again, not counting Grimlock, who's confirmed as one). The relevant part of the podcast begins around 1:52:30, if anyone wants to give a second opinion. --[[User:Dubbilex|Dubbilex]] ([[User talk:Dubbilex|talk]]) 04:23, 12 July 2014 (EDT) | Having just listened to that interview, his comments seem just vague enough not to warrant such a definitive statement for anyone other than Grimlock.

So where exactly was it stated that Optimus Prime, Scorponok and Shockwave are point one percenters? --Flydie 09:40, 16 August 2013 (EDT)
- MTMTE #17. Brainstorm has discovered a green 'superspark' that marks a POP, and tells Perceptor that they could be looking at the next Optimus Prime or Ultra Magnus. Then he admits that, equally, it could be the next Scorponok or Shockwave. Actually, come to think of it, the current Ultra Magnus is believed at this point to be the original who repeatedly cheated death - does this also confirm the first Ultra Magnus as a point one percenter? --Tarrn 13:53, 17 August 2013 (EDT)
- I don't think enough info has been revealed about the first Ultra Magnus to determine that. --MistaTee 18:26, 17 August 2013 (EDT)
Hey, what about Prowl's list of bots? In MtMtE 14, Prowl names Optimus, Grimlock, Fortress Max, and Megatron as 'once-a-generation' powerful bots, suggesting at least potential one percenters.ZeroSD 06:03, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
- I've added it to the notes --Emvee 06:41, 28 September 2013 (EDT)
