Spock: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 03:36, 20 January 2012

This article is about the guy who is definitely Spock. For the actor who may^[1] or may not^[2] also be Spock, see Leonard Nimoy.

Spock is an alien humanoid with pointy ears called a Vulcan. He is apparently of sound mental health most of the time.

Wreck-Gar picked up the name "Spock" from television broadcasts and used it in his speech. The Legacy of Unicron!

In another reality, Spock was in civilian dress holding off a mob of zombies, under the control of the Undermind, with a wooden stick. Infestation #2

Wheelie identified a Star Trek episode he was watching as "the one where Spock goes nuts". Dark of the Moon

Leonard Nimoy portrayed Spock on Star Trek.
Wheelie's line is the first of three references to Spock in Dark of the Moon, referencing Nimoy's presence among the cast as the voice of Sentinel Prime. The second is Sentinel's own line, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Finally, Bumblebee plays a voice clip of Spock saying "I will always be your friend", from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Spock is involved in the crossover event, Infestation. As he did not interact with the Transformers universe in that event, his actions are not detailed here.
Spock's logical character was the inspiration for Shockwave.^[3]
In the Infestation sketchbook, a zombified, rotting Spock is shown clawing his way out of a Mark VI torpedo casing filled with highly-evolved worms. The notion that Spock could "rise from the dead" out of a Mark VI torpedo casing is of course ridiculous and merits no further discussion.
