Talk:R.E.V.

Didn't R.E.V.'s name get changed from something else that was vaguely genocidal? Race Elimination Vehicle or something along those lines? I can't remember, except that I thought it was hilarious back in the day. Ye gods, RiD is "back in the day" now. -hx 15:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it was "Race Evolution Vehicle". Not genocidal, but all too easily twisted into "yellow power!". --M Sipher 15:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

That sounds right. I knew it wasn't "Race Execution Vehicle," but was something that SOUNDED like it. -hx 15:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Uprising

Outside some other clue, I think the pilot from Uprising was a version of this Eagle Killer, not R.E.V.'s Korean name. Jim already used Battlefennec and a few other Battle Beasts in this manner. --Xaaron (talk) 17:04, 1 January 2017 (EST)

Eagle Killer in "Derailment" has yellow feathers and is a Maximal, not a Predacon. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 17:05, 1 January 2017 (EST)

Betting Jim or Dave probably was meaning for him to be a combination of both. Escargon (talk) 17:09, 1 January 2017 (EST)

Assuming you're right, would a separate Eagle Killer (BW) page be most appropriate? --Xaaron (talk) 17:18, 1 January 2017 (EST)

If BWU Eagle Killer is a composite at all, he draws way more elements from the RiD guy than the Beastformer. It stays on this page. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 17:49, 1 January 2017 (EST)

"Way more" elements? By what metric? All we know is that he's a yellow feathered Maximal pilot. Only one of those four words applies to REV. 1 1/2, if we're being generous that Maximal = Autobot. REV is yellow, but the Beastformer has feathers. REV's not a pilot, but the Beastformer is a sky specialist. I'd say it's even, at best, tilted more towards the Beastformer, if we're honest. --Xaaron (talk) 18:01, 1 January 2017 (EST)
