Talk:Target: 2006

I think this page should be broken up into its component chapters, or at least as a brief overview and hub to those chapters. --ItsWalky 17:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I think the fact that Galvatron would just leave his cannon lying out in the open like that in itself counts as an error, not just when Autobots decide to build a city on the same lot - how did he intend to make sure no one would just go and destroy the damn thing right after he leaves? He couldn't exactly bury it either since, assumably, it's supposed to be powered by sunlight the solar panels will have collected in the 20 years. 84.250.41.125 17:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

After he's tested the weapon he explicitly states that he's going to hang around in 1986 long enough for it to recharge, so presumably it would be buried fully loaded. Timrollpickering 22:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Galvatron and Megatron

Several times Megatron has been able to take Galvatron by surprise. How could Galvatron have forgotten that back when he was Megatron, he was approached by a time-traveller from the future claiming to be the Decepticon leader of the year 2006? 84.71.227.54 11:46, 21 July 2009 (EDT)

The act of traveling back in time appears to change his own past. There is some vague indication (circa Time Wars) that Galvatron's memories revise themselves to accomodate these minor changes, but the process is not immediate. -Derik 11:49, 21 July 2009 (EDT)

There is, further, the complicated possibility that this Galvatron may not actually be remade from the Megatron featured in T2k6, but rather the Straxus-created clone from later stories. It's all terribly... urrgh. Furman time travel stories only tend to work in broad strokes, not in the details. - Chris McFeely 11:54, 21 July 2009 (EDT)

The Straxus-Megatron clone dies though. Plus there's no real evidence to back it up that the Megatron in the '86 movie who becomes Galvatron isn't the real Megatron. No, thinking about it, there may be a much more simpler explanation. We know that the real Megatron went to Cybertron and got partly possessed by Straxus causing amnesia of recent events. Lets say that this amnesia also permamently takes away his memory of his meeting with his future-self, Galvatron. 81.79.105.225 13:09, 30 July 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, but the Straxus-Megatron only dies because of a conflict caused by Galvatron travelling back in time in the first place, so he may NOT have died had Galvatron not come back, and gone on to become Galvatron, plus Galvatron *remembers* events witnessed by the Straxus-Megatron during Time Wars and oh blimey I've gone cross-eyed. :) - Chris McFeely 14:30, 30 July 2009 (EDT)

In regards to Time Wars, we know that Galvatron is partnered with Straxus-Megatron in our reality but how about in Galvatron's memories that it was the real Megatron (who later becomes Galvatron) who was partnered with Galvatron and not Straxus-Megatron? It goes some way to explaining why things are happening differently - because he has a different partner. The only explanations needed here is how the real Megatron got to fight alongside Galvatron (which doesn't matter much since nobody cares or gives much thought to the events that transpired in Galvatron's memories other than what we see in the comic) but I like the different partner explanation more so than the Galvatron throughout the Marvel U.K. comics and the '86 movie being an upgrade to someone who was just a clone of Megatron and not the real Megatron explanation. But yeah, Time Wars *IS* a catalogue of continuity errors with no real correct answer I suppose. If you want to believe that this Galvatron was originally Straxus then its up to you. I just find it kinda messy and requires more work to get it to fit. Try reading Time Wars from my perspective and see how that works for you. 81.79.105.225 17:28, 30 July 2009 (EDT)

I'm not actually trying to seriously argue the fact - I'm just pointing out how vague and open to interpretation the nature of the story is. - Chris McFeely 18:47, 30 July 2009 (EDT)

Omega Supreme

I've added a little bit on Omega to the errors section to clarify it a bit as Smokescreen actually says they should sic Omega on the current Decepticons rather than the future ones (and before Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge had arrived at Megatron's base). It is a really big omission they don't use him at all, especially as "Omega is the last line of defense for the Autobots, a titanic guardian robot capable of instilling fear and panic into the sparks of Decepticons that dare face him on the field of battle". And Buzzsaw wasn't there to whoop his ass. 80.176.139.71 15:09, 3 November 2009 (EST)
