I can't remember much about the cartoon or cartoon movie. Did Optimus Prime have a son and if so what was his name?

This is a nice simple one.

No.

<edit> To expand a bit... Transformers don't have children (or if they do, we've never had any definite evidence of it in the last twenty-odd years).

i think junior lio was lio convoy's little brother...... but dont quote me on that....

And there was a few debates on that which would go on for twenty odd pages..

Can Tfs Have Babies?
Where do the Babies Grow Inside Them?
Do Tfs have Genders?
How do Tfs Reproduce?

Not the titles exactly, but you get the idea. Basically, the threads are interesting, but after a while they have a tendancy to get heated and some members getting temp banned.

Well, I'm quoting you on it...

but your wrong sadly.

Lio Junior was Lio Convoy's "son"

The amolgis(spelling is wrong I know) had an affect on Lio Convoy and the Matrix producing Lio Junior.

Watch Beast Wars II the Movie, its a goodie



You don't even have to know the back story to enjoy it

That is the case in the U.S. toons but in the Japanese shows there are a few characters with sons....how they had those sons is beyond me.

I don't know if they can or can't have babies. All I know is that Transformer sex would be extremely loud.

Rattrap: Hey, bowser! stop that yappin! Tryin to reboot the dead!

Cheetor: What in Primus are they doing in there?



Cheetor: I'm blind! Aaagh!

Dinobot: What is the cat crying about?

Rattrap: I think he just learned about the dogbird and the spiders.

Dinobot: And you stood out here watching? You sicken me Vermin!

Rattrap: Me peepin; I was just trying to get some shut eye!

Cheetor: Get this webbing off me!

Rattrap: Eh, I don't think that was the she-pred's webbing...

Actual descendants? No, not really. I think that perhaps Cybertronians, upon the creation of a new shell and the addition of a recurrent spark from the Allspark, might take to mentoring a new Transformer. This would account for Kup being like a cranky uncle to Hot Rod, and also for Ironhide being an uncool dweeb around Hot Shot in Energon.

Then again, maturity level depends on the spark itself, as characters like Rumble and the Battlechargers seem to lack any signs of responsibility.

I think that the issue of gender boils down to simple mannerisms and disposition. I like the idea of defined male and female types in Transformers, but frankly it's hard to justify and even harder to fathom the logistics. The only explanation I can come up with revolves around the mysterious creators of the Transformers (assuming it's not actually the Quintessons) infused them with aspects of their own physiology. Personality and disposition aren't exactly part of the equation for building reliable service and military drones.

It's convenient, of course, to have the Cybertronians be able to relate to humans through their emotions and demeanors. People like Bumblebee because he's undeniably likable, after all. Perhaps an older organic race was the basis for the Transformers' development. Observation of organic species with gender, emotion and social tructure became the basis for their own nascent society. Pure speculation, of course.

Man, I gotta stop lettin' Shamble use the keyboard while I'm away gettin' a doughnut.

I think you missed the part where everyone said Lio Junior was Lio Convoy's son

No, I saw it. It's just that 90% of everything that comes out of Japan and relates to Transformers, plotwise, is some combination of ridiculous, stupid, and perverted.

I'm not particularly interested in Beast Wars, but wasn't Lio Convoy a seperate character from Optimus Prime?

in that if they showed G1 Prime in the BW japan show it wouldn't be Lio Convoy? your absolutely right.

He's more likely to be a descendant/ built after/ closer relation to... G1 Prime than Primal was. They did give him a matrix after all. but anyone with a faceplate and OP color deco could apply for one then... Primal was even given one for his BW movie cameo!

yes they're seperate characters

Convobat may have been Optimus Prime but they decided he made a better Batman

really... don't look him up

In Japan all the Convoys on the consil have a Matrix....even Ultra Magnus in car robots 2000 had a Matrix.They give one to any Cybertron of high rank.

I remember the days when having THE Matrix made you special. Now any Tom, Dick or Harrybot gets a Matrix.

Yes, Sloptank, but it is still canon. Regardless of the number of people who tell me Japan's ideas are not part of our canon, I will continue to repeat myself and speak to more knowledgable members in a arrogant and condecending way!
