Talk:Sky Garry (G1)

Did we ever get an official romanization of this guys' name? Could he be Sky Galley? -Derik 05:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

One corner of my brain wants to think somebody said it should be "Sky Carry," and another corner wants to think "Garry" means something relevant that's obscure. --ItsWalky 05:41, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

The general consenus, at least that I've heard, is that they were going for "Sky Carry" but mispelled his name. Roomaji for his name is "Su-ka-i Gya-rii". The only thing that seperates "gya" from "kya" is a single dakuten over the "ki" kana. The same thing happened with Metroplex. They dropped a dakuten from his name, thus he became "MetroFlex" in Japan. Similarly, Road Pig in G2 is called Road Big, with the only difference between a coherent name in the given name being a single dakuten.

This is pretty much why he's always been referred to as "Sky Garry". And since that's the spelling most Transformers fans are familiar with, I think it's best to go this route. --DrSpengler 05:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I was just wondering, given that he's a ship in the sky with a galley full of Micromasters and all. -Derik 06:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I went and looked-up the Japanese pronunciation of "galley" just to be certain, and they write it as "ga-ree". Galley would almost make sense, but this *is* the Japanese we're talking about. The same people that slapped "The Truth the Eyes Met Before" on Mega SCF boxes and thought "Ligier Jack" was an awesome name. --DrSpengler 06:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Pre-Release

I suppose I may as well trot this out for the sake of the Battlestars-related characters.

Is Big Bang the guy who shows up in the UK Predators bombsights? -Derik 18:09, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

No, he's not. --Monzo 22:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, Monzo. Made Big Bang an article. --DrSpengler 22:39, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be at Sky Garry (ROC) now that other Japanese G1 characters have been moved to similar pages? -Mazenoise 18:52, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

Image order

The picture of Sky Garry punching through a Galaman comes from the first Battlestars installment, possibly set prior to Garry being assigned to find Prime's corpse. I'm not sure what the text below the image actually says, though, so I don't know how to document those activities in his history. I could put up a larger version of the text under the punchy image if someone wants to take a crack at it. --Monzo 23:08, 26 November 2009 (EST)
