Transformers Trivia Game

[GoktimusPrime]

Okay, here's how it works...

+ I will post a Transformers-related question hopefully at least once a day. Maybe more frequently if it gets answered fast.

+ Each time someone answers correctly, the player is awarded 1 point. Scores will be kept.

+ At the end of this game - which will be like, whenever I feel like stopping this game (:p), I will tally all the points.

+ The person who has the most points will win a Transformers-related PRIZE. I haven't decided on what the prize will be yet -- in fact, it'll remain a mystery until the winner receives it. :D But rest assured it will be TF related. Note that I'm going to be privately providing the prize, so please no complaints about the prize (:rolleyes:) -- if someone would like to donate an awesome prize, then feel free to contribute. :) But the objective of this game is to have fun. :D

+ To try to make things fairer for other players, once you have answered a question correctly, then after a new question has been posted the person who last scored a point cannot attempt to answer the new question for twenty four hours after the posting of the new question. After that 24h period has lapsed, then it's a "Gloves Are Off" free for all and anyone can answer. This rule is in place to give other people a more sporting chance to answer questions and not allow any one player to dominate, but then if nobody else can answer it, then the stronger player(s) can have a go after the period has lapsed.

+ Naturally as the host, I cannot attempt to answer any questions and I will be posting all questions. If anyone would like to submit questions, you can PM me, however you will be exempt from being able to answer that question at all for obvious reasons. ;)

+ Please no cheating!! Answers should be answered from your own knowledge of Transformers without looking stuff up in tfwiki or Google or checking out your DVDs or comics etc. I can't actually enforce this rule, but we're just going to put faith in people's honesty here. :) This rule expires 24h after the question has been posted - i.e. after that period players CAN go look up the answer; again, it's "Gloves Are Off" after 24h and you can cheat to your hearts' content. :D

+ Some questions may have a related "Bonus Question" that can earn an extra point. The Bonus Question may be answered independently of the main question -- i.e. you can choose to answer the main question but not the bonus question, or vice versa (and let someone else answer the other question).

Q: What is the name of the newspaper seen in Transformers Prime?

Bonus Q: What is an unusual feature of this newspaper's format?

[Firestorm]

The paper is "The Jasper Daily" and it is printed back to front

[GoktimusPrime]

Score:
Firestorm 2

:)

I suspect that the reason why it's printed from right to left is because that's how newspapers are printed in Japan (as TF Prime is animated in Japan) -- perhaps whoever designed the newspaper wasn't aware or forgot at the time that English-language newspapers are printed left to right. Similar to the scene in Dogma where Chris Rock's character (Rufus the 13th Apostle) read that note from Jesus, but he reads it from left to right, even though Aramaic is written from right to left. ;)

[Firestorm]

hmm, i never thought about WHY it was back to front, you could be right

Hmm... I'm inclined to think that it's simply a production error, i.e. textures on the model or a face on the model was set to 100% transparency and what you're seeing is actually the back face of said model. :o

I'm going 'false' because the rubber ducky becoming a Transmetal was not related to Quantum Surge exposure - its transformation happened much later, near the end of Season 3 (in Crossing The Rubicon). Maybe it's a Transmetal 2?

Q: What am I? I was founded in 1947 by the three Steiner brothers in Ohio USA, named after the street in which my original corporate officers were located. One of my earliest toys was a toy gun that could blow bubbles. In 1967 I was purchased by General Mills and three years later I was merged with Rainbow Crafts, thus I obtained the rights to Play-Doh. In 1977 I obtained the licence to produce toys for the Star Wars franchise after it had been initially turned down by Mego the year before, and as such, I popularised the concept of the 9.5cm action figure which became an industry standard. In the same decade I also produced toys for the Six Million Dollar Man. In the 1980s I also created the hugely popular Super Powers Collection, Care Bears, M.A.S.K. and Strawberry Shortcake. In 1987 I was acquired by Tonka, but they too were acquired by Hasbro in 1991, and consequently so was I. In 1996 I completely revamped the Transformers brand by releasing a new concept known as Transformers Beast Wars, which proved highly popular and revitalised the Transformers brand. I am... ?

Broadside - he's the only one with a naval alt mode.

No sorry. It's nothing to do with the alt modes. :)

No sorry. It's nothing to do with the alt modes. :)

So the question is more that you're thinking of a reason why one is the odd one out and we have to guess which one you're thinking of, because there's nothing wrong with Seraphim's answer - it's a good one.

Springer is the only one with futuristic altmodes is another logical answer. Also, he's the only one who doesn't turn upside down between altmodes. And he's probably the only one with no real scale issues when he transforms from altmode to altmode. But if it's not to do with the altmodes, then I'm going to go with: Blitzwing was the only one released as something else (a Diaclone) before he was a Transformer?

(It's either that or Astrotrain: because he was the only one who was never a 'good guy' in the cartoon. :))

Erm, nope. The answer was "Just A Flesh Wound" -- bonus points you earn by killing someone while on low health. And of course, a reference to the Black Knight scene in The Holy Grail. ;)

Q: Which cast member of "Underground" (the Julian Assange telemovie) is a former Transformers cosplayer?

[Seraphim Prime]

It's the Axis of Awesome guy, who I think was also on the Ronnie Johns Half Hour back in the day.

I'll admit I used IMDB to check the name, though - Jordan Raskopoulos

[GoktimusPrime]

You're right, and I appreciate your honesty, but as you've had to look the answer up within 24h of the question being posted, I cannot award any points and the question is now void.

Bonus Q: What does the acronym in the show title stand for?

[Megatron]

New question!
Q: G1 Megatron's customised/special Walther P-38 mode comes from which TV series?

Bonus Q: What does the acronym in the show title stand for?

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (modified with an extended stock section).

And... oh bugger I don't remember what U.N.C.L.E. stands for (read it somewhere, never seen the show).

[Bidoofdude]

Can I answer the bonus?
United Network Command for Law Enforcement or something similar?

Bonus Q: There is one not-Soundwave Transformer toy in this photo (who is highly obscured!). Who is it? (hint: see my latest FoC photo comic in the creative section for a clue) ;)

No, not yet. They seem to be really questions about stuff I've plainly seen. All
I knew about UNCLE was that it was some kind of united intel thingo so I made up the best I could. Was that correct though? anyway, wave is ma specialty!
Ok, we have action masters (1990)- bottom middle, left bottom is dotm human alliance soundwave.
Middle bottom in the front is g2 soundwave, bottom right- rotf soundwave(2009), Back right- Animated (2008- with laserbeak), Back middle- G1 Takara(1984- single tape door- loose),G1 Hasbro(in box) left back- Machine wars (1997- piece of sh*t:p), and the hidden is headmasters/g1 soundblaster who is obscured by the box of g1. :D Is that enough detail? Oh yeah, cybertron soundwave (2006) and prime
(2012) Rid Soundwave on the far, far, far left :P On the top of the box is WST Soundwave.

[GoktimusPrime]

Ok, we have action masters (1990)- bottom middle,
Correct.


left bottom is dotm human alliance soundwave.
Not quite... it's DOTM Soundwave, but not Human Alliance.


Middle bottom in the front is g2 soundwave,
Correct.


bottom right- rotf soundwave(2009),
Correct.


Back right- Animated (2008- with laserbeak),
Right you are.


Back middle- G1 Takara(1984- single tape door- loose),
Well... it's the Encore reissue, but your answer is close enough, I'll accept that as right. :)


G1 Hasbro(in box) left back-
Correct.


Machine wars (1997- piece of sh*t:p),
Correct. Heeeey, I like MW Soundwave. :p Better than Action Master or Beast Wars Soundwave... and at least his gimmick wasn't gutted as badly as Optimus Prime's -- I think his scope gimmick still works with the Predator jets (unlike Starscream's).


and the hidden is headmasters/g1 soundblaster who is obscured by the box of g1.
Correct, but there's someone else even MORE hidden/obscured than that! (like, you literally can barely see him. And he's not the Soundwave/Soundblaster character but he is a TF toy).


Oh yeah, cybertron soundwave (2006)
Correctomundo.


and prime (2012) Rid Soundwave on the far, far, far left :P
This confused me for a moment... I thought you were saying Prime Soundwave and RiD Soundwave, and I thought, "There's a RiD (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers:_Robots_in_Disguise_%28franchise%29) Soundwave??" and I started checking TFwiki but realised you mean TFPRiD Soundwave! :rolleyes: (silly Hasbro for not using a more imaginative sub line name!) But right you are. :)


On the top of the box is WST Soundwave.
Smallest Transforming Transformers Soundwave, yes. (I'll accept WST as it's a commonly used fan-term (though not the official name for the toy line :))

So you've gotten 11/12 correctly identified, and the "mystery hidden" Transformer remains unsolved!! Ooooh!

Now in fairness to Bidoofdude who's come so close, I'm going to "lock" this question for him. This means that noone else is allowed to attempt to finish answering the question for him -- he has the remainder of the "grace period" to correct his answer and get the full mark for the question.

The Bonus Question however remains unanswered, so anyone can still try to answer that! (remember, look at the photocomic!)

[Bidoofdude]

It's music label soundwave (blue), who's cannon is just behind Animated! :cool:

[GoktimusPrime]

Oh yeah, forgot about him, hehehehe. Right you are. So I'll let you have the point for DotM Soundwave, which is the Deluxe no HA figure. :) So Bidoofdude wins the point for the main question. Bonus question is still open. This Transformer is _not_ Soundwave.

[Seraphim Prime]

Soundblaster is hidden at the rear right of the photo.

[Bidoofdude]

I already said that. It's something else. Is it the human alliance human figure? I'm pretty sure that's what that human is.

[Bidoofdude]

Is it generations WFC Cliffjumper just visible between ROTF Soundwave's legs?

[Seraphim Prime]

It's either the Dylan Gould HA figure, or the Animated Laserbeak guitar.

[GoktimusPrime]

Is it generations WFC Cliffjumper just visible between ROTF Soundwave's legs?
Ooh, so close -- you're looking at the right place, but that's the wrong bot. Have a look my latest Fall of Cybertron photocomic in the creative section, cos this character makes an appearance there (he also appears in The Last Stand of the Wreckers).


It's either the Dylan Gould HA figure, or the Animated Laserbeak guitar.
Nope, sorry. :) This toy is a Transformer, but is not Soundwave (or any of his incarnations) nor is he any of Soundwave's partners. And yet he's still somehow related to Soundwave... ;)

[Bidoofdude]

Blaster?

[GoktimusPrime]

Nope.

Blaster doesn't appear in my latest FoC photocomic, nor did he appear in The Last Stand of the Wreckers. See the latest FoC photocomic and see which character in it appeared in TLSOTW <---hint hint hint hint hint

[Seraphim Prime]

Based on your hints, I'm saying Stalker. (But I can't see him in the photo!)

[Bidoofdude]

It's stalker's leg thingy in between ROTF Wave's legs!!! I think...

[GoktimusPrime]

And Seraphim Prime gets the bonus point! :D It's Stalker (in vehicle mode) that you can (barely) see between Deluxe DotM Soundwave's legs! :)

*Although First Aid (http://www.botchthecrab.com/archive/techspecs/autobot/1986/ts_first_aid.jpg) was portrayed as a pacifist in the G1 cartoon, according to the Protectobots' original G1 toy bios, Groove (http://www.botchthecrab.com/archive/techspecs/autobot/1986/ts_groove.jpg) is meant to be the pacifist.
**Hun-Gurrr's name has varied wildly in official canon. It's spelt "Hun-Grrr" on his tech specs (http://www.botchthecrab.com/archive/techspecs/decepticon/1987/ts_hun-grrr.jpg), and as "Hun-Gurrr" on the box (http://www.finalfrontiertoys.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/v/i/vintyage_hasbro_transformers_terrorcan_leader_hun_ gurrr_afa_graded_80_15098841.jpg), but then as "Hun-Grr" in the G1 cartoon and Marvel Comics (http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/c/c4/Loveandsteel-terrorcons1a.jpg).

11.They were more aimed towards teenagers/a mature audience and there were *less* plotholes

12.Verbal Tics, personalities completely changed and a gps free TM Megatron.

13.In Japan it was known as Car Robots. It was imported to the west as a 'filler series'.

16.It has made megatron an autobot and gone off on it's own tangent giving us a comedy drama sort of thing with mtme and a more serious story fromely known as RID.

Well done, boys. :) These questions are from a worksheet which I'm going to give to my Year 7-8 students tomorrow and Wednesday as part of an 88 slide Powerpoint presentation. :D So many of the "correct" questions would make more sense in the context of my presentation, so I can also see that some of your answers are also correct given that you didn't have the context of experiencing my awesome(TM) class presentation. :p Anyway, here are the official answers, although in some cases your alternate answers may also be correct, such as your answers for Q7. :cool:

1. 1984-92 (actually early '93)

2. Marvel Comics

3. Sunbow Productions

4. 1986 (note: Ultra Magnus was not one of them, he's a redeco of Diaclone's Powered Convoy)

5. Death of Optimus Prime. Hasbro received lots of angry letters from parents.

6. 1987

7. To make toys cheaper and better value for money during the global recession of the late 80s/early 90s.

8. 1

9. Generation 2. Early toys were just repaints of G1 toys. Kids at the time just weren't interested in vehicles.

10. Exploited current kids' interests in animals over vehicles. Superior toy designs.

11. Written to appeal to both kids and adults.

12. Japanese BW series was written for very young children. Toys' focus shifted more towards realistic beast modes (whereas Hasbro's favoured fantasy modes like Fuzors, Transmetals, Transmetal 2s).

13. Hasbro continued with their fantasy beast and vehicle mode theme with Beast Machines; Takara combined BW level toy engineering with licensed vehicle modes with Car Robot.

14. (any 3) Binaltech, Masterpiece, Device Label, Music Label, Sports Label, Smallest Transforming Transformers, Alternity. <---these are all the "Ages 15+" line (except KISS Play, I intentionally omitted that from my presentation for obvious reasons :p). Although Classicsverse appeals to a lot of adults, it is not "MA15+" restricted to a mature audience.

15. Armada, Energon, Cybertron

16. Written for an adult audience.

17. (any 1) Animorphs, Star Wars, Marvel, Disney Label

18. Original G1 characters with modern day toy engineering standards at regular mass retail

19. 2006, Tomy

20. 2007

21. (any 3) Universe, Henkei, Generations, United, Reveal the Shield, Legends

22. War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron. Devastation may be inspired by some Classicsverse figures, but those toys weren't made to market the game.

23. Transformers Prime. Polygon lost 1/3 of their workforce after the quake/tsunami, which is why Ratchet's recount of the history between Orion Pax and Megatron was animated with painted stills instead of full CGI. It ended up looking cool, so Hasbro decided to keep the same format with similar narrated historical recount scenes in some subsequent episodes.

24. (any 1) First Transformers, 1-2-3 Transformers, Transformers Go-Bots, Rescue Bots

25. Q Transformers

26. (any 1) Combiner Wars, Robots In Disguise

27. (any 1) Combiner Wars (e.g. Combaticons etc.), Masterpiece (e.g. Ratchet, Ironhide etc.), Titan Class Trypticon, Bayformers 5.
