Is that true that some of the sweeps have facial hair?

by **Jaw Crusher** » Wed Jun 13, 2007 5:51 pm

They have metal beards, as it's impossible for robots to have facial hair. :wink:

Lot of fans don't like the beard thing, but m'self, I think it's kinda quirky.

alpha trion sported the metal beard and stache, but wrek-gar's fu man chu was totaly hair like.

As I recall in "Feral Scream Part 2", at the end, Cheetor brushes his goatee, & it sure didn't stay still like metal would. I guess the organic bots from BW/BM can have hair..........

I think Wreck-Gars and Cheetor's were more of a synthetic material, most likely.

The ones with 'beards and stuff' that I know of are:

Wreck-Gar
Scourge
Several Autobots from long ago
Throttlebot Rollbar
Rhinox
Tm2 Cheetor
BM Silverbolt
Armada Rollbar
Bulkhead
Energon Quickstrike
Armada/Energon Uicron

Alpha Trion is odd as his facial hair somehow grew overtime. I have no idea how you explain that. I mean look at these pics and see for yourself. http://s90690880.onlinehome.us/jhiaxus/ ... atrion.htm

He was just that manly.

Well, if he reformatted/upgraded over time - which, judging by his change from A-3 to Alpha Trion, he'd have had to - that might have something to do with it.

Seekers are now sporting such cute little goatees. ;;)

Oh, and our little Bumblebee just grew his very first goatee, BTW. He's growing up fast!

The goatee was, to me, a chin. Never thought of it as Hair. But The junkions, they need to shave. Anyone remember the "Ask Vector Prime" question, "Do you shave yor moustache?" HAHA! Priceless.

Personally, I like the facial hair, or the resemblance thereof. It gives them character. Also it gives variety to the Transformers' faces.

I agree with that it gives their facial structures better features, Wreckgars look like a fake hair though. Cheetor on the other hand might be kinda organic. Maybe he skinned a tiger, or a horse, and used its hair for his Goatee :-?

It's possible that beards are a status symbol of being a respected elder on Cybertron, so he had one installed when he was upgraded.

this has been covered (partially)

I agree. It looks great on Scourge, but on Wreck-Gar...ick.

Guess they wanted him to look like a catfish or something.

Whatever.
