My bad, it's been a long while since I've worked on a wiki. >.< Lifetime Transfan since 1984. 18:15, 18 May 2013 (EDT)

Best to just stick with your proper signage by typing this: ~~~~ or clicking the sign button on the top right corner on the bar (squiggly-looking button second from right) instead of "Lifetime Transfan since 1984". Granted, we can click on it easily to find your User Page, but it's better in the long run for the rest of us on keeping track of who posted what on the Talk pages. --Lonegamer78 14:46, 19 May 2013 (EDT)

Actually, that's what comes up when I do that, believe it or not. O.o Lifetime Transfan since 1984. 21:44, 7 June 2013 (EDT)

You probably have that set in your "Signature" setting on the first page of your preferences. --abates 22:16, 7 June 2013 (EDT)

Since I feel kind of weird about actually posting things like this on the pages themselves, I thought I'd ask here on my own user talk page instead of cluttering the wiki proper with such questions. That and the relevance of "Is it canon and where does it state such?" is for information for an RP. Granted RP's are all fan AU anyway and generally irrelevant to the wiki, but still, the wiki is relevant to the fandom and some of us like to be at least as close to canon as we can be while still having some fun with it. If such a question is offensive to the Wiki admins, then please politely let me know and I will withdraw the question. My apologies for the long-winded-ness.

Regarding Sparks: Is there anything in canon regarding Spark Bonding (as in actual bonded mates) stating that such bondings are strictly monogamous, strictly polyamorous, or expressly both? And if so, which is it and where is it stated in canon? The only point regarding actual Spark Bonding I am aware of was in Beast Wars (and by extension, Beast Machines) which showed it was monogamous (Tigatron/Airrazor, Silverbolt/Blackarachnia, Rattrap/Botanica) and were potentially preordained (though it might not be preordained given that four (Quickstrike, Cheetor, Silverbolt, and Waspinator) were vying for Blackarachnia's affections, but that could have been explained by their organic Beast Mode natures influencing their behavior which was shown to happen in canon on several occasions as it was), and outside of G1 Arcee's prolific flirting habits, any actual canon pairings are shown as expressly monogamous among Transformers. I don't tend to include human affections towards bots in that, such as in "The girl who loved Powerglide" as the human's "romantic affections" weren't expressly mutual on the bot's side (though it was with Seaspray and Alana, but she wasn't human either) and humans are known to not always be so monogamous in general. I'm speaking primarily bot to bot Spark Bonding since it's questionable at best as to whether a bot and a human can even bond in such a way (and nothing of that is expressed in canon anyway).

My interpretation of what I do know from canon is that Spark Bonding is expressly monogamous and unbreakable even unto death, and that such bondings are preordained by Primus since their Sparks are pieces of his own and even seemingly very odd couples (like Rattrap and Botanica) end up expressly and irrevocably paired off together in canon. Is that interpretation accurate and supported by canon facts? Leathurkatt 11:30, 29 June 2013 (EDT)
