The pattern I was seeing was this:Mindmaster wrote:I don't necessarily see how those guys follow the pattern the previous five seemed to set, unless their gig is "celebrating obscure characters".
I don't get the connection betweeen the Star Seeker Navigator and the Autobot Navigator, either, apart from their shared name.
Ferak and Tornado commemorate the Marvel US and UK comics by being among the first comic-original TF characters created in both the US and UK comics.
Devcon commemorates the Sunbow cartoon by being among the first cartoon-original TF characters created by the cartoon.
Scorponok commemorates the G1 toyline by utilizing one of its more memorable toy gimmicks.
Ginrai commemorates the first Japanese-original TF cartoon that didn't directly build upon the American fiction, and was the first Japanese-original Autobot Supreme Commander who was a completely unique entity from his Hasbro toy counterpart.
The only oddball here is Cannonball, who seems to only serve as a means to rationalize some semblance of sense into the convention theme.
As for the Navigator thing, that's JelZe's department, cuz I frankly don't see how the Jet Vehicon works for the G1 Navigator.
