Sorry, about not putting the spoiler warning, i'm new to this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.71.179.87 (talkcontribs) 23:52, 8 April 2009.

Weabo?

What happened to the awesome weabo fancharacter header we had for this guy? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dead Metal (talkcontribs).

There was a big desnarking a while back. Probably got removed back then. --Detour 03:01, 16 May 2009 (EDT)
Oh man, that was the best part of the entire article.:(Dead Metal 07:42, 16 May 2009 (EDT)
Can someone quote it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.24.148.159 (talkcontribs).
This is the earliest coherent version of the page in the available page history. You can also check his page on the other wiki, along with its own revision history.--Apcog 20:03, 29 August 2009 (EDT)
Why was the note about the similarities to the Magscinder toy removed? Khajidha 22:53, 13 February 2010 (EST)
Because "X is similar to Y" is pointless bloat? —Interrobang 23:33, 13 February 2010 (EST)

Sword squiggles

Hi.

In the preview gallery at Seibertron, one of the pics seems to offer a somewhat better look at what the symbols on the toy's larger sword are meant to be. Can anyone tell if they are kanji - akin to that on the side doors - or are they perhaps some sort of Cybertronian glyphs (i.e. not meant to mean anything in particular)? --Nerroth 01:47, 14 March 2010 (EST)

The first character is . I can't read the other two due to glare. —Interrobang 03:04, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
Actually, the first two characters are 天下 tenka for "descent from heaven", "the world", or "under heaven", from here at the IDW boards. But yeah, still can't see the last two. --Lonegamer78 03:52, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
Oh god, I think that might actually say 天下無双 or 天下無比.... Oh god... --Detour 04:13, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
Yanno? That might actually say 天下無双 (tenka musō). And it WOULD make sense. Heh. I might not be surprised if the other side of the sword said 天下無比 (tenka muhi)... XD --Lonegamer78 04:18, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
*bangs head on wall repeatedly* --Detour 04:20, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
Well, Tenka Muhi would be overkill, since both mean the same thing of "peerless under heaven". :D --Lonegamer78 04:24, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
My dictionnary just translates both as "peerless, unmatched", but yeah. Epic wallbangery. The hell, Hasbro? --Detour 04:32, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
Ah. Unlike Detour, I haven't paid any attention to the toy, so I didn't know there was another character cut off. —Interrobang 07:29, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
Well I had paid attention to the toy but certainly not enough to even notice the characters until Nerroth pointed them out. I just went looking through an online dictionary after you guys started posting the kanji you recognized. --Detour 12:31, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
Thanks for the help. (It's still possible that the sword's inscription is referring to itself, not its owner - or that it used to belong to someone else, before Drift started using it. Or something.) --Nerroth 13:42, 14 March 2010 (EDT)


New Drift/Deadlock pics

These were posted over at the IDW boards recently. Would they, or at least the one with what looks like Deadlock in it, be of any use here? --Nerroth 13:42, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
