How are we going to do Snowstorm/Snowcat? X-BoB58 00:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
A keyboard, I presume. --ItsWalky 01:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Ya know I never thought about that all this time I've been working on this wiki with my phone's fucking number pad X-BoB58 02:35, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
The same way we did Smokescreen (UT). The same way that Bumblebee/Goldbug will be handled. One character, one page. --M Sipher
Am I crazy AM I CRAZY?
Tell me I'm cracy! -Derik 03:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Cracy? Sure, Derik, I'll remind you of your Craciness again.
Crazy? No. I see a passing resemblence myself. --Richardstone 05:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Is it just me or did he have a weird drill mini-con in the series, and a mini-con that became the front face of the 'copter for his toy (so that he actually turned into a reasonably shaped helicopter, instead of a flat sawn-off looking one)? 129.215.149.99 00:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Uh... those would be Drill Bit (Armada) and Crumplezone... aka one of the Destruction Mini-Con Team and Cyc's pack-in partner.
A good guy vehicle into a bad guy robot...
Well it obviously happens the same way a good guy robot turns into a bad guy vehicle. Sheesh, hasn't any of you ever read the GI Joe/Transformers crossovers?
- Except it didn't happen "the same way". Here we're talking about Hasbro's design team taking one of their more iconic vehicle designs for one of their most iconic hero groups, and making a new toy of it as a villain character rather than the expected good-guy, with ZERO story reasoning behind it. The Joe crossover character designs is a purely fiction-driven deal that has nothing to do with toy design. The question is why the TOYMAKERS went this route. --M Sipher 23:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Probably because the series was written by Japanese writers who'd never heard of Gi Joe?
- Or in more practical terms- it's difficult for 'specialty' vehicle forms like Snowcat's to work for heroes, who much bear the brunt of narrative focus for many episodes- and thus must 'work' in every environment. (As planes and cars do.) It's much easier to ignore Snowcat's incongruous altmode in a desert if he's only in 3 minutes of an episode vs. 12 minutes.. -Derik 01:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
