Talk:Sideswipe (G1)
I didn't cut and past that bio, and where else are we going to discuss that bio's contibution to canon? X-BoB58 02:50, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Just... you know, a crazy suggestion, but perhaps on a page for the character who's inhabiting Sideswipe's spare body? He's a separate dude, so he gets a separate page. --ItsWalky 02:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
There is some abiguity as to whether or not that whole "separate dude" thing is actually real, Walky. It's something I've been meaning to ask Doug/Ichikawa about for a while, actually. ALSO, "e-hobby" is not a fiction. It's not a story. All it has is bios. IF e-hobby Sideswipe is in fact a nrew dude, then it goes on a new dude's page. If it's not, then the overview of that bio goes in the TOY section when the e-hobby release is discussed. --M Sipher
"ALSO, "e-hobby" is not a fiction." It's still canon "He's a separate dude" That's the first I've heard of this theory, Care to eleaberate? I thought NY Lambor represented the new body that they put his spark into after he died(offscreen) in the movie?
What e-Hobby bio? the ones he and red Alert had ages ago? they reprented, IIRC, nto reissues but specifically later incarnations of the character, but they were the same characters. TFPulp had translations and their different cardart back in the day. -Derik
It DOESN'T MATTER if it's canon... IT'S NOT FICTION as presented in this wiki and therefore should NOT go in the "Fiction" section. This is not a difficult premise at all. - M Sipher
???
I am highly skeptical of this revision. Aren't there other Japanese names that are basically just the altmode name? Why would this one have a special double meaning? Also, wouldn't Lambor and Rambo have different "o" sounds, making them not the same word after all? It just sounds like something some fan noticed once and now there are people treating it like it was intentional or meaningfgul... --Steve-o 15:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- In Japanese, "bo" is "bo". The character is always pronounced the same. The only difference between Lambor and Rambo is the "ru" at the end of Lambor. Ligier/Mirage is the only other one with a reference to his car mode. Besides, considering how reflective it is of Sideswipe's character (at least the reckless part), I don't see why it couldn't get a mention. There's no confirmation on the Nine Great Demon Generals' name being a word pun yet it's included in the article.
