Since the comment from Derrick about him having no altmode is pure authorial intent (which I don't have a problem with in theory, especially where Animated is concerned), wouldn't the declaration in the Almanac that he turns into a computer mainframe "override" it? Just want to gauge, before I reword the page, whether doing so would go down badly. Riptide (talk) 10:30, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

I think Derrick may have flip-flopped on that position, since in later conversation with him he said he found the idea of Mainframe transforming into a computer and then "rolling out" hilarious. --Monzo (talk) 17:03, 22 April 2015 (EDT)
