Talk:Mindset (G2)

Onslaught

Didn't Starscream steal the 'personality components' of the Combaticons from Cybertron in the G1 cartoon? This would mean that Onslaught existed before his familiar form did, and as such could have budded Mindset before being imprisoned. Of course, that'd mean you'd be mixing the cartoon and the comics together as one, which probably leads to all sorts of problems. But it's a thought. Jeep! 19:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

They were certainly stolen but the comic is a different state of affairs - in US G1 continuity Starscream is out of action between issues #19 and some point off panel between #41 & #47 (okay he's around a bit more in the UK continuity but that already explains the Combaticons). There is the infamous cameo of Defensor in issue #47, and as the Headmasters cast don't appear to have had contact with Earth yet have the combining Technobots and Terrorcons amongst them it's possible the Combaticons came from Cybertron, similar to the Predacons.

But the real problem with all this is that if Onslaught participated in the budding then one has to wonder why Megatron's/Bludgeon's Decepticons don't know about it - why for instance does Bludgeon need the Matrix for new warriors?

One possibility is that Onslaught isn't Mindset's "father" but rather a sibling or even an off shoot who was deemed unworthy and never taken with the Cybertronians. It's been a while since I've read that scene but I don't recall it being as clear-cut as the "Mindset is descended from Onslaught" as it's presented here. Timrollpickering 15:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
