Talk:Star Saber (Thirteen)

BotCon 2010

The Prima article mentions that his Star Saber was shown at that convention. Should a picture be anywhere here? Item42 00:57, 17 July 2010 (EDT)

I would hope not, since no photography was allowed at that panel. --ItsWalky 00:59, 17 July 2010 (EDT)

Can a description of that display be found anywhere. Prima's talk page had this:

The eventual story of Prima, as sketched out at BC10, will reveal him to have been an "epic warrior of light" "like a Greek god", whose sword hilt has a little gem on it that gets used as the Matrix of Leadership--and based on how big Optimus Prime's chest is compared to the sword, Prima would be ~500 feet tall. If something that cosmic is supposed to be reconciled with "little dinky nobody who rolled off an assembly line in a completely different time period," then sure, he did some magic ghost woowoo. Again, it wouldn't go into the article, especially if, y'know, it's never actually published or said. But, again, people have to intellectually reconcile the notions somehow.

I'd like an explanation of this, which Optimus it was compared with and whatnot. Item42 01:05, 17 July 2010 (EDT)

There wasn't a display, but just a slide in a presentation. Thylacine is talking about G1 Optimus Prime's chest, and I think he's greatly exaggerating the size of Prima. Prima's huge, no doubt, but 500 feet is a bit much. As for my visual memories of the sword, it was a big silver sword with a Matrix in the middle of the hilt. That's all I can recall with certainty at this point. --ItsWalky 01:11, 17 July 2010 (EDT)

Alright, thanks. Item42 01:19, 17 July 2010 (EDT)

Star Saber (Prime)

Would this be the same article as "Star Saber (Prime)", or does that go elsewhere? -Derik 13:54, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Technically, it was first mentioned in a Fan Club story set in the Wings Universe. —Interrobang 14:02, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Okie, creatin' a separate article! -Derik 14:02, 2 March 2012 (EST)

No.,.. wait. Exodus firmly established that Prima's Star Saber = (Prime)'s Star Saber. So... this article? -Derik 14:04, 2 March 2012 (EST)

This sword is a possession of Prima, who is himself a multiversal singularity. The usage of a franchise tag for this item thus seems wrong. But it does need a disambiguator, as there are many other "Star Sabers". Using the name of its owner seems right to me. --Khajidha 14:19, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Besides, Star Saber (Prime) would be the combined weapon form of OP, Beetwo, and R.A. --Sabrblade 14:43, 2 March 2012 (EST)

I studiously avoid pointing out that Prima as slain by the Quintessons in one continuity. -Derik 15:42, 2 March 2012 (EST)

You are assuming that he was actually killed in that scene. Or that killing him in one continuity has any major affect on Prima as a whole. --Khajidha 15:48, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Hasbro pretty much already said that the Aligned continuity isn't part of its previous multiverse and that things that were true of that may or may not be true of Aligned. I see no reason to think the Thirteen from the old multiverse are the same entities as the Thirteen from Aligned, and I'm not really sure why our pages treat some-but-not-all of them as such. Probably just because nobody wants to tackle merging all the previous Alpha Trions. -LV 16:26, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Yes. All the 13 and probably Primus and Unicron need to be seperated out by our rules. They are definately and officially seperate things in Aligned and the old Multiverse. The problem is it's All A LOT OF WORK. And I don't think anyone has wanted to deal with it. Although there is the SLIGHT chance raised by the Preview to this years Multidimensional BotCon story that Fun Pub will tackle and explain the split. If so perhaps we should wait a bit more just to avoid the risk of doing it all and then having to change it all back?--76.28.76.206 16:50, 2 March 2012 (EST)
