Talk:Carnivac (G1)

All right. Where on this guy's fiction section does the Earthforce split occur? Sadly, I want to say, uh, right after the American appearance, since Carnivac's entire arc is eventually connected to the Earthforce storyline, but damn. This whole thing sure is out-of-continuity. Too bad.

Also, we need the hell out of an Earthforce page. Just to address this clusterfuck. --ItsWalky 19:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Carnivac vs Spinister

Okay, since Blackout isn't listening on the edit comments, here comes the big chunk of text:

Carnivac set out to take his revenge on the Mayhems for killing Catilla. He killed Needlenose, then he killed Snarler, then he shot and killed Spinister, but he didn't kill Bludgeon, Octopunch and Stranglehold because it would be giving them what they'd want (a warrior's death), and considers captivity and mercy a fate worse than death for them. He's right, in a sense.

Also, he's not taken captive like the Pretenders. It makes no sense for Carnivac to go all out for revenge like that and just abandon Spinister with just a chest shot if that's not a certain kill.

And Spinister's death here makes sense from a storytelling standpoint. Look at his thought bubbles. He's getting the heck out of there before he gets killed, letting the others do the fighting so he can slip away... and bang, shot dead. It's a classic villain death.

You're behaving like all those "BRAWN DIDN'T DIE" people from years ago right now, Blackout. He took shots from Megatron before and lived but in the movie it killed him. Nobody says "OHMYGODTHEYKILLEDBRAWNYOUBASTARDS!" or anything but he's pretty obviously dead. Ditto Spinister. He may have taken a shot from Thunderwing and lived in a subsequent story, but here he's slagged by Carnivac's gun. The effectiveness of a Transformer's armor plating varies depending on what the story demands, it's always been like that. --Detour 13:32, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

I never said he survived. ---Blackout- 15:31, 28 September 2009 (EDT)
