Talk:Prime Spark (story)

A few things:

• Beast Machines Optimus Primal is described as huge and hulking, larger than Armada's Tidal Wave— the author was going by the toy, not realising the character was suppsoed to be much smaller than Optimus Prime.

Wasn't there some discussion somewhere suggesting that BM Primal's huge appearance was more likely based on what Primal looked like while dead and inside the Oracle on the show, or something along those lines?

• Two of the four Megatrons lack equivilant deaths for their meeting. This is glossed over.

I took the appearance of the Megatrons as purely symbolic, myself. I didn't think any of them were actually, literally there during death as the Prime/als were.

• The author's command of Transformers lore does not run deep enough to pull off the story's premise. The result is... shallow.

Do we actually know how deep the author's command of Transformers lore runs? Is the "shallow" comment appropriate? I mean, I agree with it, but I'm not sure it belongs here. --KilMichaelMcC 06:25, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that seems like a fairly biased remark. More opinion than fact, I'd say, and while possibly valid it's probably not appropriate. --DTZ

Indeed. There were positive reactions to "Prime Spark", after all. I would think Derik of all people would know that. Heh. ;) --KilMichaelMcC 08:21, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

It re-reads poorly. Frankly, he didn't know hie TF enough to carry a premise that ambiitious off. Nothign HAPPENS. Primal describes himself as leader of the Maximals (a really oddd thign in context, because to ANYONE not from his timeframe, it sounds liek he's claiming leadership of all Maximals.) Just- it was 31 pages and nothing happened. What a waste.

Change it if you want.-Derik 13:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
