Talk:Dent
From MediaWiki
He is not green. He's yellow. He has green shadows, but his flats are definitely yellow, with no hint of green. He's just Beast Wars Prowl. --ItsWalky 14:39, 25 November 2012 (EST)
- Honestly the BW toy should be listed on this page. It's just BW Prowl, folks. --ItsWalky (talk) 22:44, 4 June 2021 (EDT)
- He looks nothing like Prowl. Prowl's lion head folds up into his body, and his legs fold up into his robot mode arms and feet. Dent's lion mode head is on his chest, and at least one pair of his legs is on his back. Escargon (talk) 23:16, 4 June 2021 (EDT)
- don't look now, but a lot of idw designs transform differently from their original toys --ItsWalky (talk) 23:44, 4 June 2021 (EDT)
- "He's just Prowl except for the ways he isn't" is essentially what you're saying. Forgive me if I don't find that a particularly compelling argument. Escargon (talk) 23:46, 4 June 2021 (EDT)
- we're gonna do the Goldbug (IDW) talk page again aren't we --ItsWalky (talk) 23:50, 4 June 2021 (EDT)
- You mean the character who is identifiable as the original, versus here where it's at best "inspired" by BW Prowl? No, I don't think this is gonna be that again, because it's not. Escargon (talk) 23:54, 4 June 2021 (EDT)
- Personally I'm coming down more on the "probably not a 1-1 reference to BW Prowl beyond the name" side but we could always just ask either Milne or Roberts about it, yeah? Grum (talk) 23:56, 4 June 2021 (EDT)
- i mean mostly it's a moot point, earth war's inevitably gonna write bw lion prowl as a different guy, we'll need a page for him, and dent should probably go on it, and the toy will already be on there by default --ItsWalky (talk) 00:00, 5 June 2021 (EDT)
- We don't put, say, Double Punch on G1 Scorponok's page just because he takes design cues from BlackZarak, and we shouldn't put Dent on that page either. Escargon (talk) 09:33, 5 June 2021 (EDT)
- I'd put Double Punch on G1 Scorponok's page if we learned his name used to be Scorponok but he changed it because of the other Scorponok. --ItsWalky (talk) 10:37, 5 June 2021 (EDT)
- like that's literally the only reason dent exists -- to be an "i'm lion prowl" joke --ItsWalky (talk) 10:37, 5 June 2021 (EDT)
