Continuity error

The continuity error notes that Rampage says Transmutate's name before Transmutate gives it. This is true, but I don't think it's a continuity error. Rampage says that Transmutate is part transmetal and part mutant, calling it "a Transmutate." This would seem to indicate that the term either already existed, or at the very least was invented by Rampage as a general term for a mutant/transmetal form, rather than an actual name he wanted to give Transmutate (especially since immediately after he gives this description, he asks for her (?) name). And either way, whether (as it seems) he was trying to give a general descriptive term to her form, or (as it does not, to me, seem) he was actually giving her a name, it seems quite likely that when Megatron later asks what her name is, she says "Trasmutate" because Rampage had used the term in reference to her ealier. So is this a continuity error? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blazemane (talk • contribs) 14:55, 30 April 2010.

Good point. Probably worth changing, in that case.

Oh, I definitely forgot. Thanks.Blazemane 15:24, 30 April 2010 (EDT)

I always took it as Rampage inventing the term, and then Transmutate taking it for his name, since that's the first thing he'd been called. It's sort of like Wreck-Gar initially calling himself 'worthless-wreck-walking-pile-of-garbage', only with less comedic effect. --Detour 15:29, 30 April 2010 (EDT)

It is a continuity error. There is no ambiguity about this. Rampage uses the term Transmutate before he plainly invents it. --KilMichaelMcC 15:46, 30 April 2010 (EDT)
