Talk:The Legend of Rodimus

This paragraph is horrendous...

• Although a case could be made for the replacement of Starscream's original developed personality in earlier episodes with his amnesiac mind being the viewers introduction to an infamous Energon trait, this is the first concrete instant i.e. the taking of a character, erasing every bit of character development from either this or the preceding series and turning them into a lobotimized characterless zombie. Other notable examples of development being completely dropped for no good reason include Demolishor, Scorponok (twice) and Inferno.

Really, this bit of prose is nonsensical. The "although" sets up a comparison that never arrives, the "i.e." is separated from what it is supposed to be explaining and the "first concrete instant" should probably be instance. Can somebody please explain what this paragraph was supposed to mean? --Khajidha 11:09, 6 October 2010 (EDT)

Yes, the "although" generally does destroy whatever sense of meaning the paragraph was building up to, what I got from the person writing it was that the Energon series destroyed/erased a character and his/her personality and character development while retaining the name, therefore creating a blank slate for essentially a new character (and possibly new toy) to step in while retaining the same name.
