Umm... Wha?--Chiasaur11 Ah, that's better, but it should mention SCTV or Dinosaur comics.
Or, better still, cruelly stereotype our neighbors to the north in various contridictory manners!--Chiasaur11

Thank you very much sir.--Chiasaur11
In the interests of stereotyping, I demand you make an article about Australia! Since it's appeared a few times in fiction and a few Autobots inexplicably sort of have our accents. Yes. --FFN 21:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Those are Nebulonian accents.--Chiasaur11

Dreamwave's success led to the production of the 2007 movie? What?
Under our "non-fiction" section we have "It was also home to the now-defunct Dreamwave Productions whose top-selling 2002 Generation 1 revival comic led directly to the production of the 2007 movie." Really? Isn't that quite overstating things? I would say RID, Armada and Dreamwave led to a boomtime for Transformers overall, but the film wasn't made because the comic was popular - Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto wanted to do a GI Joe movie, but decided not to because of the US invasion of Iraq. Carol Munroe of Hasbro suggested doing a Transformers movie instead. Essentially, this meant Murphy and DeSanto weren't even considering Transformers until Hasbro suggested it. So how can Dreamwave's success "[lead] directly to the production of the movie? --FFN 16:05, 2 August 2009 (EDT)
- Because they may have been developing one, in the general sense, before that time... but they didn't get a studio to sign on or financing until thwe Transformers comic shot to #1 and proved that TF really was the big dog of 1980's nostalgia properties. -Derik 16:40, 2 August 2009 (EDT)
- Question is, though, was Dreamwave a pivotal factor or just jumping onto a bandwagon? The Transformers nostalgia trainw as already in motion with the success of Robots in Disguise and the plans for Armada. A Transformers comic might or might not have been a hit purely for the nostalgia factor no matter who had published it. Basically, the "If no Dreamwave, then no movie" equation is a little too simple for my tastes.--Nevermore 16:52, 2 August 2009 (EDT)
- This definitely needs a source. Otherwise it's little more than speculation. --Detour 16:55, 2 August 2009 (EDT)
