Talk:Grotusque

I'm always cool with learning a neat new fact about a character I like, but don't just add in something like "and occasionally a Decepticon" without adding explanation of where and how too, that's just teasing. :) ZacWilliam

I'm not sure where that's from either.--ItsWalky 15:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

...shit, i was thinking of Repugnus. -Derik 15:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

When is he sometimes a Decepticon? --ItsWalky 15:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Repugnus or Grotesque? -Derik 15:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Alt Mode identity

Currently the text describes Grotusque as transforming into a "robotic winged sabertooth tiger". Based on the look this has with his hunched posture, especially considering his name, I'm more inclined to assume he turns into a grotesque- [called a gargoyle]. I'm going to go ahead and change it, but if there's some source that contradicts this, feel free to switch it back. Ayellowbirds 17:22, 2 September 2009 (EDT)

That makes a large amount of sense. Works for me. -- Repowers 17:35, 2 September 2009 (EDT)

I don't think his monster mode has any canonical title except "monster" or "creature." However, his name conveys "grotesque" in the sense of being "ugly and horrible" as opposed to the sense of being... a stone-carved monster statue thing. Likewise, Repugnus sounds like "repulsive" in the, well, "ugly and horrible" sense, as opposed to the original Latin roots of simply pushing something backwards. Given the extreme obscurity of the latter definition, and the fact that the Wikipedia article specifically says grotesque-statues were not the same thing as gargoyles, I'm going to switch it back but include the statue mention as a "note." I hope that's okay. --Thylacine 2000 17:38, 2 September 2009 (EDT)
