Talk:Spotlight: Shockwave

Is the horrendously abysmal grammar in this entry a joke? Because if not, it needs some serious work to get it to anything even approaching readable. - Dark T Zeratul 10:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

When dd this take place?

What is the tempral placement of this story? the woolly mammoths seem to be going extinct- but that only happened within human memory. When did Cybertron become uninhabitable? Bludgeon's tasking w/ investigating Shockwav'es projects might be seen as a direct cause of that.-Derik 00:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Cybertron became uninhabitable 700 years ago when Thunderwing nearly blew it up. --ItsWalky 00:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That's... strange. It aligns up with the actual mammoth extinction, but there didn't seem to be any evidence of humans on Earth in the Shockwave spotlight...? -Derik 00:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Shockwave likely left for Earth prior to Thunderwing's almost-apocalypse, given that in Spotlight: Soundwave it implies he has been watching Bludgeon for a while by the time Cybertron is declared off-limits. - Dark T Zeratul 02:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure why Derik is having trouble with the timeline. It seems pretty cut-and-dry to me. Shockwave goes missing thousands of years ago, Megatron assigns Bludgeon to look into his files and Soundwave to look after him. Seven hundred years ago the incident at Thunderwing pass occurred, kicking them off Cybertron. And then in 1984, the Soundwave Spotlight happens. --ItsWalky 13:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Mammoths went extinct around 10,000 years ago (but a small group survived until 4,000 years ago) All approximate dates, of course. --Crockalley 13:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. It's still odd insofar that readign the issue there seemed to be no sign of human life, which made me instinctively want to place it earlier- but 10,000 ears ago will do. -Derik 22:18, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

It's clear that the humans were just off-screen. Har har. But seriously, there were far less humans on the planet back then, so their absence as depicted in this story is actually reasonable. And humans would want to avoid dangerous volcanic areas, wouldn't they? --Crockalley
