Talk:Oil Slick (Animated)

Wheelie? Come on guys, that design has a stronger Cy-Kill feel than it does a Wheelie feel. Heck, the transformation is similar to Cy-Kill's, minus partsforming. And Cy-Kill got a black-and-green repaint that's so much awesomer than his red, white and blue color scheme too. Plus, they're both totally evil motorcycles. So I'm asking, before I get reverted and labeled a caption bastard... can I change the Wheelie ref to a Cy-Kill ref? --Detour 07:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Chestface

Looking at this image of Lockdown and comparing to this image of Oil Slick, yeah, there's a resemblance. But really, I'd say that's supposed to be a very stylized bird on Oil Slick's chest. The triangular sections at the top are the head pointing at the viewer, angled down so you get sort of a top view of the beak. The four segments at the bottom are tailfeathers. I can go for a tongue-in-cheek comment about Lockdown's face, but Carrion and Rosicrucian obviously think Thy means it seriously.--Apcog 02:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Psst. Those are both Lockdown.--Rosicrucian^Talk 02:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Grr...bloody "Copy" keyboard command not paying attention to me. Fixed now.--Apcog 02:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

it's definitely some kind of tribal design, but it doesn't look anything like Lockdown's face.--Carrion 03:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Compare it to Bug Bite's tribal tattoo. No guns, similar tats, obscure but established color scheme? Evidence is mounting that he actually IS Cy-Kill. --76.20.88.10 19:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

He would be killed by Megs in five seconds then.--Dynamus Prime 15:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Images?

Why are the 2 images different????? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.23.202.3 (talk • contribs).

One's from the packaging and one's from the cartoon. I'm guessing it's an Earth mode/Cybertron mode difference. --abates 03:33, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

The second one is a screen capture from the show, as you would see in pretty every single fiction section for characters who appeared in a cartoon. - Cattleprod 12:38, 8 October 2009 (EDT)
