Where's the "Primus League Cup" from? --ItsWalky 15:16, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I suspect the reason Derik used "football" as the European name is because Blaster (IIRC) was once asked if they had football teams on Cybertron, and he gave a brief listing of some teams (the only one I ever remember is Throttlebot Wanderers, portrayed as perpetual underdogs/failures [and quite possibly intended as a knock on Wolverhampton, and that one involved the Combaticons) - this is probably also where the Primus League Cup comes from.
Also, if you ask me, it's funnier if the European name IS just "football", since that emphasizes that of all the sentient races in the universe, it's only the US that has a different name for it. -LV 18:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- So, does that mean there's no real reason to think that Mecha-soccer and Football are the same sport? I guess I can see the humor in the European name being just "football", but your exaplnation of the joke doesn't quite fit -- on Cybertron apparently it's called neither football nor soccer, making it not just the US that sticks out. --Steve-o 22:00, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
