i'd love to see a parody of g1 cartoon with Megatron losing his keys in the space bridge. Send the constructicons & seekers on a wild goose chase, then finally finds them on the crashed ship. The autobots' was the Ark --what was the decepticon ship called again?? :???:

You just sparked an awsome idea. Megatron and crew walking up towards the Nemesis and Megatron, without saying a word, pulling out a set of keys and pressing a button on the fob. You hear a "chirp, chirp" alarm sound twice and the lights on the front and sides of the Nemesis flash twice as the side door opens and the ramp lowers.

The losing the keys idea is good and even funnier when you think about how something like that could be problematic for an Autobot. Imagine needing those to be able to transform into vehicle mode. Lose your keys and your "hoofing it" into battle.

that'd be pretty funny too. Reminds me of a Star Wars short fan film I saw in which an AT-AT driver can't remember where he parked in the city, pulls out his fob and presses the button and the AT-AT goes 'chirp' 'chirp'.

It's probably on youtube, just would take me long to find.

Regarding the Nemesis; out of all the g1 episodes I've watched, they've never once said the name of the ship. I doubt they even mention it. Odd.

Losing the Crown Jewel of the Decepticon fleet to the depths of the ocean on an alien world was probably something of a sore subject with Megatron so it was never brought up in conversation.

I can't say for certain and don't have the inclination right now to dig them out, but the name MAY have been mentioned in the original Marvel Transformers comics. It's been quite awhile since the last time I sat down and re-read the original first 6 issues that I have so I really can't say, but the only place that I can say for absolute certain that it's mentioned outside of general TF "mythology" is in the Beast Wars Series. There's a small hole in my TF memory that I'm still filling in pieces of.
Partying and then starting a family kinda interrupted my hobby for awhile years back.

cool. Iirc the autobots never said the name of their ship very much either. They just called it 'base' right??

Technically neither ship was ever named in the G1 cartoon.

You have sanity? I'm going to have to ask you to keep your distance. I'm alergic to sanity.

*palms forehead* Never thought of it like that. Ummm, wait a second. Do you have any idea how dangerous it is adding that possible element to the whole "Mass Shifting" realm of possibilities? Especially when you pose the question of "Is he the only one with that technology?" (which makes me wonder about the interior of SkyLynx or Omega Supremes rocket section) and even worse, what happens if he Transforms to robot before every else bails out? Although the "Tardis" effect does answer how Soundwave can store ALL those tapes AND mass shift into a small Cassette Player.

Well, now you've done it. Gone and opened up a whole other can of worms for us to fight over. 8-}

Does that mean Astrotrain isnt actually cybertronian, but Timelord tech?

read sky lynx's tfwiki profile. his body bends space so he has twice as much room inside as the exterior would allow.

Now that I think about it, my ex-wifes purse employs the same technology.
It really is possible to put 10 gallons of s**t in a 5 gallon bucket!

Yeah, I figured it was something harkening back to the "good ole days" of portable holes or other such phenomenon.
Much along the same lines as my leather jacket. Every pocket has at least 2 weapons and I never have to worry about it getting stolen because nobody can lift the damn thing. I asked my kids to hold it for me once while I prepared to climb a tree to retrieve a stuck glider and they both flat refused. I had to just let it drop on the ground. A client at a job site had the exact same jacket and went to grab mine by mistake, took 2 steps and went "what the hell?" and put the coat back. Works great for me! I need something like TFA Swindles transwarp storage compartment.

A Tardis is a time machine that on the outside looks like a old school Brittish Phone Booth and on the inside is somehow the size of a 2 story mansion and it belongs to Dr. Who.

It's also the greatest dream of anybody who has ever tried to cram the furnishings of a 3 bedroom house into a 1 bedroom apartment.

I'm sure if you wiki "Dr. Who" there will be mention of it there and probably an explanation of the theoretical mechanics behind it...which (it just dawned on me) would probably have tied in well with our discussion about mass shifting explanations rather than us just giving casual mention of the device. #-o
