Talk:Nautilator

Is it just me, or is Nautilator oddly-named, given that he doesn't turn into a nautilus? --Nemesis Primal (talk) 18:06, 1 May 2014 (EDT)
- It's not out of the ordinary for Transformers. Ratchet doesn't turn into a ratchet either! --abates (talk) 18:30, 1 May 2014 (EDT)
- I imagine his name is a derivative of "nautical" rather than "nautilus." -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 19:41, 1 May 2014 (EDT)
- I have no idea why the "nautical" posibility escaped me until now. Not sure I'd place money on it, but it's good enough to quiet me down, at least. (And as for Ratchet, I'd argue that for a rache of living machines, the word would probably have anatomical connotations, and, as a doctor, Ratchet has a specialized knowledge of the Cybertronian body and the gears, pistons, wiresw, and, well, ratchets, that it might contain.)Nemesis Primal (talk) 00:43, 6 May 2014 (EDT)
- Also, Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. :P -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 12:34, 6 May 2014 (EDT)
