GoBots homage?
Is Tankor's coloration possibly an homage to the Renegade GoBot Tank? Khajidha 11:44, 18 October 2009 (EDT)
- "Given his name and especially his color scheme, Tankor is a pretty big homage to his Beast Machines predecessor. His face is even painted to give him a single red optic band like the original." --ItsWalky 12:00, 18 October 2009 (EDT)
- Saw that, but the Beast Machines Tankor toy was black, grey and red. The Beast Wars Returns Tankor toy was blue and silver. Same character, but I'm not sure which toy is more associated with the character and thus more likely to be brought to mind by a reference or homage. In any event, I'm not saying that it DOESN'T reference Tankor; I'm just asking if it might ALSO reference Tank. Khajidha 12:18, 18 October 2009 (EDT)
- Look at the show model for BM Tankor, not the toys (which notoriously bore a very limited relation to the CGI) - Mammalian Verisimilitude 13:10, 18 October 2009 (EDT)
