That link was in the post I linked to. That's what matters here.
The biocard doesn't even apply to IDW's continuity anyway. It's JG1. The Wiki link was to show that the guy who looks like Diaclone Powered Convoy and bore the name "Delta Magnus" is a different person from Ultra Magnus. You didn't need the biocard translated to know that when the Wiki link already covers that information.
Not to mention the fact that the toy doesn't bear the name of "Ultra Magnus". If it were the same character as Ultra Magnus, it would be called something like "Ultra Magnus movie Preview Ver." or whatever. The name "Delta Magnus" is a key indicator on its own, and if not, the affirmation from those in this thread who are familiar with the character ought to have been enough to make clear his being a separate guy from Ultra Magnus. Plus, again, the Wiki page that CombaticonsCombine? linked to explains who the guy is.
Takara wouldn't use the name "Delta Magnus" if they didn't mean for it to be the guy that everyone was talking about, and they certainly wouldn't take the identity of a pre-established character like that and change it to being something like the same identity of Ultra Magnus in a new form. Takara is beholden to things past, especially in a line like the Masterpiece line.
Did someone pass on to the next plane of reality and appointed you
supreme arbiter of what I should request or not?
You above BURN now?
First, you contradict yourself. You post a link to the general thread for what? I requested a translation of the card. Some poster answers and is later responded upon by another with a link to info that I do not swallow hook line and sinker (wikis aren't written in stone as they are prone to errors and speculation by those who enters the info. Who vets their expertise. Also, the term DELTA Magnus comes from IDW if you are to accept the wiki entry as the gospel truth.
So now it doesn't matter? So the link is there. Then what?
Chronology:
1. I request a translation
2. Someone declares "He's Delta"
3. I again request a translation
3. Someone later posts a link.
4. I request again of which a translation was posted (something about vinegar and the like)
The chain of events matters in chronology. As in all court cases, it's how an event develops to its end.
Would not it be illogical for a link to first appear then I ask a question concerning the self same link? That would be stupid to ask for an answer that has already been given. The link was posted
AFTER I again requested for a translation as the mere response of "He's Delta Magnus " is an inconclusive answer.
That is why I also queried prior if Delta Magnus is UM or another character. Because? Well
I do not know this character. Who knows, maybe UM got a new paint job after taking too much energon. Optimus also got the black finish before he went into a black hole to get Nucleon or the solar absorbing black in THS02-b. That was still Optimus. So my question has precedence.
Also you contradict yourself now. Make up your mind.
" biocard doesn't even apply to IDW's continuity anyway." Did I ever said that? No.
Concerning the wiki. It showcases some character that supposed to be this character but is JG1 but is NOW revealed to be different. I DID NOT KNOW that until I read it.
That is why I asked for the biocard translation
Also, the inclusion of the MP and the old Diaclone figure into the "Delta Magnus" section of the wiki is something again I consider "iffy".
That is why I asked for the biocard translation.
On my not needing to request anything.......
who ARE you to tell me when I should request for some assistance to get the biocard translated? Is that some unwritten rule not to ask unless I get your blessing? Maybe BURN's blessing.......so long as it's in the rules.
I have an inquisitive mind. I ask if
I do not know. I do
NOT PRETEND to know everything, I'm not that dense. Hence I ask.
Also, you got a inside info on TT's business practices? TT can do just about anything they want. Slap the name Convoy on anything and people will swallow it whole without blinking. I feel your broad conclusion on that matter is by far unreliable, more on the speculation.
