Talk:Dauros

IDW

Do we have to do the Dauros thing for Skullgrin's appearance in Transgressors? I reviewed Stormbringer today, and all Springer did was toss a grenade at Skullgrin. Maybe intended to be fatal at the time, but given everything IDW has established about Cybertronian fatalities since then, I think its easier to say Skullgrin was just injured and locked up afterwards, like Bludgeon. --Xaaron (talk) 21:17, 20 August 2015 (EDT)

I think Blood would of just been called Bomb-Burst in Punishment, then. Escargon (talk) 21:18, 20 August 2015 (EDT)

...Is that a vote for or against? --Xaaron (talk) 22:30, 20 August 2015 (EDT)

Yeah, Skullgrin's defeat in that issue could easily be written off as nothing more than that if someone really wanted him alive. He's behind a grenade explosion and then doesn't appear anymore. There's no body and no confirmation of deadness. If the Monsterbots can just show up alive again... --ItsWalky (talk) 01:38, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

What I'm saying is, someone just ask John Barber on Twitter or whatever. --ItsWalky (talk) 01:53, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

No harm in checking, but I'd bet bloody anything that it was scripted as Dauros. Punishment had the city being positively awash with Masterforce Pretenders, all drawn based on the inner robot. Now we have another Pretender inner robot in the same city by the same author, whose American counterpart got blown up (and was based on his shell). This isn't fanwank like with the Micromaster stuff - frankly, I think calling him Skullgrin is the tenuous, deserves-a-raised-eyebrow option here. Jalaguy (talk) 05:12, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

I think it was like that in Punishment because they were all getting horribly murdered before the end. Another point -- we've already seen "Inner Robot Skullgrin" in Autocracy #12. If we do settle on Stormbringer look = Skullgrin and inner robot = Dauros, I'd say the Autocracy appearance should be Dauros as well. --Xaaron (talk) 07:26, 21 August 2015 (EDT)
