I'm sorry, Tam..

Some would prefer to fight to the death for a canon name, yes?

well i meant not all of us are incompetent noobs who piddle themselves with excitment the first time they see something new, but i guess your definition works too

That's a bit harsh, I really don't beieve I fit in that category (crazy with delusions of grandeur maybe), I try to at least keep a level of modesty with me, unlike some people.

I just gave Blurr up, so he could be available soon.

Picked up Perceptor though , I wanted a weapon alt mode.

Minerva (technically), Tracks, Trailbreaker and Ironhide. Minerva is the only one that's been modified into a non-partnered Autobot versus a 'mobile suit' kinda of a character.

I have thundercracker. If I got any others, then that's luck than judgement. However, if I got others, they will be OC's because they have nothing to do with cannon chars.

I try to keep my canon like the real characters. Though Megabolt will have some odd fascination with "chips" rather than an emissary.

And we greatly appreciate that you keep all your clothes on, even when you have piddled yourself. Let's keep it that way.



As for cannon names, when I chose Wingpsan as my profile name I had forgotten it was an actual Decepticon. Does this bode well for the Autobot? Does it mean I'm actually evil at heart? Or am I just slow? Probably a little bit of Column A and B, but moving on.

My team names are all original though, some more than others.until they reach the XP cap... I figured HMW is a whole new fiction, so start fresh.

The first time I "knocked him over" I thought that I should have gotten a lot of energon out of him.

I have Skyfire and Starscream.

If one person bitches about Starscream being a Predacon, watch Beast Wars II dammit!!!

If we get more character slots in V2 I'm going to get BB so I can have Starscream and his two friends

I frankly think that is a very underhand and unfair way to go about things.

It pissed me off no end (although none of my charecters were affected) that Prowl Pants suddenly gained a FULL TEAM of canons after the Oops a while ago.

That's cuase you foolishly agreed to sacrifice a charecter for one named by the winner of an alt hunt. You only gave her to me to stop any old fool getting her!

Seeing as you gave her to me, you failed!

That isnt the REAL Starcream!

Oh, and I noticed you made a mistake, It's Jetfire, not Skyfire, n00b!

I agree, Shane's comics and Megabolt there are great.
I was gonna take Megabolt myself, only to see you got him, but then when i looked and saw CHIPS! i knew it was in fine hands.

As soon as I saw the alt-mode is going to be in the V2 rotation I knew I had to do it.

I've got Eagle Eye, had forgotten there was a Micromaster with that name when I picked the name.

Didnt know there was a Micromaster under than name, there is a G1.5 jet under that name in the UK (one of the Predators, I believe that he had a different name in the US).

no predator jet was called eagle eye in the UK, Skyquake,Talon, Snare, Falcon, and Skydive are the Predator jets.

Hmm, well, it may have been the US name then (though I could have sworn it was the UK name), but anyway, after a VERY quick search on Google, here is Eagle Eye:



Edit, actully I think I may have been confusing myself, it was a G2 tf, not a G1.5 Predator... so yeah... but it exists..

yeah that definetly aint no predator. same lime green canopy though so i can see where you could get confused

He was one of the flipchangers.

No, the Flipchangers were Machine Wars, that's a G2 Jet.

Same alternate mode as two of the flipchangers, but completely different mold. The MW Jets didn't have metallic decals or transparent canopies. The two prongs underneath the jet's fuselage are the real tip off though - IIRC those are the feet. The feet on the flip changers pointed backward and formed the thrusters of the jetmode.

There were four basic sized fighters and four basic sized cars released at the beginning of G2 in the US (I had them all) and as far as I know, they were never repainted.

For the Decepticon Jets there was (IIRC):

Windrazor - F-16 with similar colors to Classics Starscream
Afterburner - Blue Jet with one of those T-shaped tails. Originally was supposed to be named "Sniper".
Eagle-Eye - The afforementioned Green Jet.
????????? - Bulky Black jet, no idea what it was supposed to be, but it looked cool in alt mode.

All of them had limited articulation, light-piped eyes, and their radar assemblies became rifles.

For the Autobot Cars there was (IIRC):

?????????? = Futuristice Red Car
Turboflame = Seafoam or Cyan Pickup Truck with pink flames
Skram (or Scram?) = Blue Corvette with flames
Windbreaker = Orange Muscle Car

Same level of engineering as the jets, but their guns were formed from their engine blocks, which IIRC were chromed.

Also, IIRC, for eight toys, they only used eight colors of plastic for the opaque parts. Skram for example had blue molded car parts and orange robot parts, while Windbreaker had orange molded car parts and blue robot parts.

Rapido was the car you couldn't remember. He was my first G2 that wasn't a G1 repaint.

between the 2 sites they cover most tfs if anyone is looking for canon.

i thought Burn's Dice was canon
http://www.tfu.info/2005/Micron/Dice/dice.htm
nice refit for HMW i must say.

Burn's Dice predates minicons.


just like my sparkcube predates micheal bay's

Fudgeristicks. They're practically the same though. Transformation SLIGHTLY more complex though.

And whereas the Flipchangers and Cyberjets had ball joints, allowing them to perform the TF equivalent of Yoga, the G2 Jets were lucky if they could wiggle their little arms.

BAH! You and your ball joints! *shakes my fist in your direction*
