For now, I've put this in the "technology" category, although that doesn't really seem like the right place. I hesitate to even put it under "objects", where "technology" currently resides. Basically, "objects" needs a better name. Yes, I'm the one that put that name there in the first place. It still stinks.

Added Magmatron/Prowl'd Death scene

Rattrap's quote about Carbon Scoring is, IIRC, found in Revelations. They are able to tell the bodies int he bonyard had their sparks extracted not snuffed because extinguishing a spark leaves carbon scoring.

Though inappropriate to make such a parallel connection in the G1 secon, I think it fits in prperties of sparks? (The factoid shoudl be there at any rate. S teve, it's your baby. If you dont' liek it just makrk the picture for deletion.) -Derik 04:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I took the picture out. Who knows what that smoke and light was. It could be his spark flaring out, or it could just be fire and smoke. I moved the comment itself into the properties section, though. --Steve-o 17:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Was it on-screen or in-print that Alpha-Q's new body was made of Terrorcon bones? - Ratbat 05:05, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

BT and Linkage comments

I've removed, for now at least, the comments about BinalTech and Linkage. I see that the Fantofan translation for Smokescreen GT mentions his spark, but the approved translations by Doug Dlin don't seem to. It's not a huge leap, I suppose, but I'd rather be more precise about it. If people think it should go back in, we can work on a better way of describing it. And, obviously, it should go in the "properties" section with the stuff about multiple bodies, rather than the "establishment" section.

Regarding Linkage: I just reread it the other night after seeing the comment that was placed in the article, and it seems to me that it is an overstatement to claim that "The manga Linkage established that Mini-Cons and humans have thier own analogues to sparks and the Allspark." Although Redline tells Stella that Mini-Con souls branched off from human souls, that does not mean that humans are part of the Linkage (which I am taking to be the Mini-Con's Allspark analog). I'm open to putting some statement about this back into the article, but I didn't like the way it was initially written.

Comments are welcome.
