Talk:Battle of Autobot City
Springer to transform Autobot City (presumably into the robot mode of the giant Autobot Metroplex)
I don't think there's any evidence of that parenthetical supposition. Is there? JW 01:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
No, but some backwards reasoning suggests it: according to one of the alterations made after I created this page, the Decepticons' first strike probably took out Metroplex's transformation cog, preventing the Autobots from converting the city to robot mode. Personally I don't buy that explanation either, but given they did a TV episode on the subject later (referenced in the article on the cog) I was just retconning the article to reflect it.
Although I see the point you're probably making: to transform Autobot City into Metroplex might well have resulted in some injuries and deaths given a solid number of Autobots were inside the city when it would have gone to robot mode.
