(looks back at it, and the Japanese pronunciation, Berwip crawna-wi pinibon)

Ber..WHEEP. craw-na-wi.. PI-NI-BON!

Has anyone else noticed that this is really just your basic modem signing on noise?

Go figure that "Modem" would be the language of a bunch of machines. Probably the reason why Jazz said his actual name was unpronounceable, too.

I have only have known it as Bah Weep Grannah Weep Ninni Bong

I have NEVER heard the Japanese version

by **VecPrime** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 1:41 pm

Yeah, but if you say it the right way no matter what the version... it sounds like a modem dialing.

Either way it's pronounced, I demand an energon goodie.

Reversed like a reverse Convoy.

That actually makes sense.

This scares me.

Whoa this is scary. Makes you wonder whatelse they got right in that show back then. Or did the people that invented the modem actually do that to mimic the universal greeting?

Would be cool if it were true.

Would also be incredibly lame too. :grin:

Get over it

Erm, they did have phone modems back in 1986, made that noise.....

by **VecPrime** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 7:02 am

p.s. Vec isnt giving out energon goodies. He knows where that leads, because he of course has seen it before.

Only Kupp can conjure up such neat "universal greetings" trick to try to befriend the sharkticons.

He must have heard it somewhere in Spike's computer room.

Junkions have modems too. ;;)

by **VecPrime** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 1:52 pm

lol, you think they dont throw out old modems?

Maybe they speak using old radio and TV equipment, would explain everything about Junkions.

by **Auto Bot** » Sat Sep 15, 2007 3:10 am

Well, Junkions get their stuffs from junk. Old things thrown away by everybody else.

A modem will be some sort of "in" thing for them today.

by **VecPrime** » Sat Sep 15, 2007 2:21 pm

Right? If you are a fleshling and dont know (and cant speak) a lick of Modem, you might wanna invest in some cubes. Now there's a truly universal language - Energon.

by **Malicron** » Sat Sep 15, 2007 7:00 pm

Alright, if no one else is going to ask this I will;
If the universal greeting is the modem dial-up sound, what have our computers been trying to say to us? :-?
