Talk:Decepticon Super Scramble

Is 'Decepticon Super Scramble' a name or a description? --FFN 07:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, ugh, not sure. Only known that (Faction) Super Scramble is what used to called the character. According to the description in the book, these two formations of combination are the most powerful among Autobot and Decepticon Scramble-city type combiners respectively. --TX55 07:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

If a 'Super Scramble' is a generic descriptor, than this is a description, not a name. (Probably needs to go into namesless characters.) -Derik 08:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I cut out the Decepticon guy from the scanned image, removed the background and the blue lines - had to redraw the parts the blue lines obscured >:( I hate it when perfectly good art is ruined with lines and words superimposed on top! --FFN 11:10, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Here's a larger version before you do the other one. --Monzo 11:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, you were working from the larger one anyway. Nevermind. --Monzo 11:46, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Yup - I might need time to figure out how to redraw the Computron-looking guy's chest. It's bloody annoying to redraw things. I need a drawing tablet or something, methinks. --FFN 12:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Where does this combination appear?

I think this article is incomplete without mentioning where this character appears. I assume it's some Japanese manga continuity. Can someone please add this info? --GrantB 18:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

As I understand it, he's mainly just an appearance in Japanese toy catalogs to say "this is what you can do with Scramble City Combiners." He has no fictional appearances of note.--Rosicrucian^Talk 18:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Added this detail to the article, with a citation needed tag, because I don't know when/who issued the catalog. Maybe someone else could add that. I just thought the article needed some info to indicate why this combination merits its own article (when I first saw the article, I couldn't see why this combo was more legitimate than the Stunticon/Technobot combo my friend had when he was 9). Thanks! --GrantB 18:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

If you check the image source, you can see it's from TV Magazine Color Special #33 Transformer: The Headmasters. --Rosicrucian^Talk 18:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Interrobang, why did you revert it? What does "out-universeness" mean?--GrantB 18:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

We tend to save breaking the fourth wall like that for the toy or trivia sections.--Rosicrucian^Talk 18:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

If I added this info in the toy section, would that have been (be) kosher? (And someone has since explained "out-uni" to me, thanks) --GrantB 03:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

That'd be okay. I should've done that in the first place, but ah well. —Interrobang 03:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Recommended buy 4 out of 5 combiners

Hyoumaru says Decepticon Super Scramble and Abomenaticus have a lot in common.

Archforce,

Ookalf,

Cyberlink420,

and

Khajidha

have all seen what Hyoumaru wrote and edited it rather than removing it. Thank you all.

i don't want to undo your work, but what you have is both more detailed and less detailed than what i wrote before, which was reverted. i would just reupload what i had about Scramble 7, Autobot Super Scramble, and Comperian, but do any of you want to rewrite it to match the style of Decepticon Super Scramble#Notes?

What about something like this?...

Although the limbs rearrange,

• 4 out of 5 of Destron Super Scramble's components are also components of Abomenaticus. (Combaticon Swindle replaces Combaticon Brawl.)
• 4 out of 5 of Destron Super Scramble's components are also components of Scramble 7. (Turtler replaces Hun-Gurrr.)]
• 4 out of 5 of Cybertron Super Scramble's components are also components of Comperian. (Technobot Lightspeed replaces Technobot Nosecone.)

By my calculations, the probability of any of these gestalts having 4/5 overlap by coincidence is less than 1% (and the fact that they're all like this makes coincidence seem even less likely)...

a 1 in 4 chance of Comperian and Autobot Super Scramble sharing a Protectobot limb,

a 2 in 4 chance of Comperian and Autobot Super Scramble sharing an Aerialbot limb,

a 1 in 3 chance of Comperian and Autobot Super Scramble sharing a torso, and

a 2 in 9 chance of Comperian and Autobot Super Scramble sharing either a Technobot limb or another Aerialbot limb:

1/4 x 2/4 x 1/3 x 2/9 = 4/432 = 1/108 ~ 0.926%

a 1 in 4 chance of Abomenaticus and Decepticon Super Scramble sharing a Terrorcon limb,

a 1 in 4 chance of Abomenaticus and Decepticon Super Scramble sharing a Stunticon limb,

a 2 in 4 chance of Abomenaticus and Decepticon Super Scramble sharing a Combaticon limb,

a 1 in 3 chance of Abomenaticus and Decepticon Super Scramble sharing a torso, and

a 1 in 3 chance of Abomenaticus and Decepticon Super Scramble both having a second Combaticon limb:

1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 x 1/3 x 1/3 = 2/576 = 1/288 ~ 0.347%

a 1 in 4 chance of Decepticon Super Scramble and Scramble 7 sharing a Terrorcon limb,

a 1 in 4 chance of Decepticon Super Scramble and Scramble 7 sharing a Stunticon limb,

a 2 in 4 chance of Decepticon Super Scramble and Scramble 7 sharing a Combaticon limb, and

a 1 in 9 chance of Decepticon Super Scramble and Scramble 7 sharing a second Combaticon limb:

1/4 x 1/4 x 2/4 x 1/9 = 2/576 = 1/288 ~ 0.347%

or less, if they considered a Seacon limb instead of or in addition to a Seacon torso.
