RULES

1.0 All questions must be pertaining to official "Transformers" mediums as licensed by Hasbro Inc. and/or Takara(TOMY) Co., Ltd.

2.0 Questions must also be directly relevant to Transformers. Indirect questions such as asking a question about Shia LaBeouf that is not related to Transformers (e.g.: about his personal life or roles in other movies) are not permitted.

3.0 The person who asks the question has 36 hours after posting his/her question to confirm if anyone has correctly answer the question. If no-one has correctly answered the question within that time frame, s/he may ask another question or delegate someone else to ask a new question. In the case of passing the go to anyone (i.e.: free turn) then the first person to post a new question is the new question asker. If the original question asker has not responded within 36 hours of posting his/her question then their turn is forfeited and it becomes a free turn.

3.5 After answering a question wait for the preceding question asker to confirm that your answer is correct within 36 hours of having posted your answer before submitting a new question.

4.0 There is no limitations on the nature of these questions in terms of:
a/ Canon - questions may be drawn from any official Transformers source including G1, G2, Beast Wars, Beast Machines, Armadaverse et al.
b/ Perceived difficulty or obscurity - questions may be made as easy or difficult as the question asker sees fit, so long as the question is directly relevant to Transformers. If other players are struggling with a question it is advisable for the question asker to submit a hint or hints to assist players.

5.0 Players are not permitted to privately or publicly consult each other for answers - this is not cooperative play!

6.0 Players may only submit one answer at a time. Where two or more correct answers exist, this is acceptable, but speculative multiple answers are not allowed.

7.0 Players are NOT permitted to submit questions that they do not know the correct answer to!!

8.0 After asking a question, a player is not permitted to answer the next preceding question posed by the winning player. This rule is to prevent the game just being bounced constantly between two players. It may be overruled if the winning player decides to pass on his/her turn ('open floor').

Rules may be added or amended as the need arises.

It's been well over 36 hours since the question was posted and nobody's gotten the answer right. The question is now void.

Adzma: you may ask a new question or pass your turn.

It's William or Irving or possibly both.

That was just roller asking a question, not a triv question. Let's ensure that we label all actual triv questions with "Q:"

Go for it Ark-Ivor. :)

TheDirtyDigger: Your answer is invalid.

+ Players may only submit one answer at a time.

TheDirtyDigger
28th January 2008, 10:05 AM
Apologies.


William and Irving. The continuity contradicts itself to the point where both of these can be considered correct.

GoktimusPrime
28th January 2008, 10:24 AM
Yes but you still can only officially submit one answer at a time - even if there are multiple correct answers. By separating them with prepositions like "or" or "and" you are qualifying them as two answers, not one.

Thus your second answer is still invalid.

Ark-Ivor
28th January 2008, 11:16 AM
Apologies.


William and Irving. The continuity contradicts itself to the point where both of these can be considered correct.

My appologies, the question isn't clear, one of your answers is partially correct... :) but only the first counts.:o

The question should be what is Mr. ? 'Sparkplug' Witwicky's FIRST first name AND nickname according to the Marvel Comics? (this is not a new question just a clarification of the last.):p

The answer should read ?/'?'
William or Irvin or Ronald are Proper Names, not Nicknames so keep trying

"Sick of your rules man"


And noone is forcing anyone else to participate here.

For this trivia thread to not descend into constant argument, it does need groundrules. Regardless of who came up with those rules, their intention is to allow the trivia thread to run well.

If you don't agree with the rules set out buy the user who has initiated this trivia thread, that's your decision. However there are others who want to participate in this trivia thread, and are willing to accept these rules. Even if you don't like the rules, please respect those who do :)

If you feel the rules need to be tweaked, then by all means that can be discussed - put forward suggestions rather than just bagging the fact that someone has set up rules.

Soundwarp
29th January 2008, 08:44 AM
Whoa chill dude, it's a joke......
Hmmm maybe it's only funny at work.....

My bad, the internet does this sometimes. Sorry Gok, seriously tis a joke. I like the rules it must not be a common saying.

I'd love the answer so we could move along.

29th January 2008, 09:28 AM
No dramas, E.

On with the show! Ark-Ivor, I don't think anyone's going to get this one, it's been over two days... so you might as well ask another one (:

Ark-Ivor
29th January 2008, 03:25 PM
No dramas, E.

On with the show! Ark-Ivor, I don't think anyone's going to get this one, it's been over two days... so you might as well ask another one (:

The Answer is Mr. William 'Sparkplug' Witwicky if going by firsts within the read-order of the comic. However continuity chronology gives his first nickname as 'Sparky' in 1952 Korea where he was Sergeant First Class William 'Sparky' Witwicky (Marvel TFUSG1 - 'Sparkplug' Witwicky#1, Sgt 1st Class William Witwicky #3, 'Sparky' #4)

He was later referred to as Mr. Irving Witwicky whilst speaking with G. B. Blackrock in the Marvel TFUSG1 story 'Buster Witwicky and the Carwash of Doom' (point to you 'TheDirtyDigger')

Ok. Next Question (There can be only one answer to this one so someone should get it)...

What is Armada Airazor's allegiance according to her toy? :cool:

Soundwarp
29th January 2008, 03:48 PM
Whoa man, these are way out of my league......

Decepticon?

Paulbot
29th January 2008, 04:02 PM
I'm guessing Autobot

TheDirtyDigger

Seperatists.

Ark-Ivor
29th January 2008, 05:02 PM
Whoa man, these are way out of my league......

Decepticon?

Right first time! :eek:
Armada Supercon Airazor (Remould of Beast Wars Transmetal Airazor) has a Decepticon logo molded into her back (robot mode), but her toy was sold as an Autobot - is Hasbro thick or what? (that's a statement not a new question, don't try to answer it :p .)

Your turn to ask a Q Soudwarp :cool:

GoktimusPrime
29th January 2008, 05:40 PM
Good work Soundwarp! You're up. :)

P.S.: The rule about the number of answers per turn (now called rule 6.0) has been amended so TheDirtyDigger's answer now retroactively counts (it's still Soundwarp's go unless he wants to pass his turn back to you TDD - I'll leave it as his call). :)

Q: Name the three Autobot Double Targetmasters from 1988?

Ah well lets see now, there's Landfill aka Décharge (Flintlock #5 & Silencer #6), Quickmix aka Mixture (Ricochet #2 & Boomer #1), Scoop aka Pelleteur (Holepunch #3 & Tracer #4).

That was so easy it's embarrasing :o

Ark-Ivor
30th January 2008, 12:58 AM
Entering 'Smug Mode'

I'm not sure if my last answer contravenes the rules, does it oh Great and powerful Gok, keeper of the law? :P

If it doesn't my next question should be easy too, keeping it on the 1988 theme...

What's the name of that annoying little gun who rides around on Wilder's shoulder in the badly dubbed english version of Super God Master Force?

(Actually, I'm not sure whether this question can count since I'm not aware that the badly dubbed version was ever licenced hy Hasbro or Takara, Gok can you shed any light? - general aside not actual question)

Soundwarp

Man i diddn't even get a chance to say your right....

Man i diddn't even get a chance to say your right....

:( Some of us don't know the TF dictionary.

Sorry for stealing your thunder Soundwarp, I should've waited, it was most impollite of me. :(

Think yourself lucky, there isn't much call for intimate knowledge on the Beast Formers of 1987 or the difference between Powermasters and Power Masters, and people just think you're sick if you mention the Breast Force, but thats just the sort of eHobby exclusive Junkion Detritis that's cluttering up my brain... :o
Need to write it down so I can forget it :rolleyes:
But then I didn't choose the nom-du-plume Ark-Ivor (archiver) for nothing ;)

Soundwarp
30th January 2008, 12:51 PM
NP mate i was just chuffed at getting a question right :P

GoktimusPrime
30th January 2008, 03:53 PM
Ark-Ivor: Your answer is fine. It's okay to provide more information so long as it forms part of a single answer. Rule 6.0 exists to stop people from cheating my "flooding" e.g.: if a question contained the words "which Autobot..." and someone answered by posting the names of every Autobot in existence knowing that at least one of their answers would be right, then the answer is invalid. That is what the rule was intended to prevent. It had the unfortunate and unintended side-effect of thwarting TDD's legitimate answer to your last question, hence why the rule was since modified to accomodate such answers. So yeah, under the new retconned version of Rule 6.0 your answer definitely counts. :)


I should've waited, it was most impollite of me.
No worries. I've added and amendment to rule 3.0 to reflect this (see Rule 3.5) so let's keep this in mind in future. :) :)


(Actually, I'm not sure whether this question can count since I'm not aware that the badly dubbed version was ever licenced hy Hasbro or Takara, Gok can you shed any light? - general aside not actual question)
The StarTV dubs now feature on the Madman Entertainment DVDs and also on the Metrodome DVDs for The Headmasters - which are officially licensed - so your question is fine. ;)

Soundwarp
30th January 2008, 06:43 PM

If they ever made a toy of this character (unlikely I know) they should call him "Mockingbird."

"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." - To Kill A Mockingbird

GoktimusPrime
7th March 2008, 10:30 PM
And there were two transformation methods - one with the shoulders rotating 180 degrees (and thus swapping the arms around) and the other where he just folds into himself. So going from the wording of the question you'd have to choose at least one of those transformation methods and count the number of times he transformed in that method.

No. (although though i guess there are some there too but not the one i was thinkin of Maybe i should've been more specific or something. :/ )

Either you need to be more specific, or you must accept an answer if it legitimately answers your question as it has been worded.

I would accept 1orion2many's answer as being correct as Beast Wars was the first TV series since the 1980s to feature a new incarnation of a popular G1 character - i.e. Starscream (in the body of Waspinator). If a disembodied Spark doesn't count, there's also Ravage.

Starscream's ghost haunting the Beast Wars
http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/0/07/180px-Bw_starscream.jpg

Ravage: rebuilt as a Predacon
http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/d/dd/180px-Ravage_bw.jpg

1orion2many has satisfactorily answered your question, as it is worded. The only other TF TV series before BW was G2, which did not feature any new incarnations of G1 characters, since it was just G1 eps rehashed. Transformers Zone did come out in 1990, but it did not feature any new incarnations of previous G1 characters and as an OVA it doesn't count as a TV series. Zone was followed by Battlestars, which did see Optimus Prime return as Star Convoy, but that story was only published as a manga and never seen in animated form (OVA or otherwise).

But yeah, I'm afraid that if you were looking for a more specific answer then you needed to make your question more specific.

P.S.: I would recommend avoiding using overtly opinionated-subjective words like "popular." After all, Impactor is a popular G1 Transformer for anyone who's a big fan of the Wreckers. ;)

"The person who asks the question has 36 hours after posting his/her question to confirm if anyone has correctly answer the question. If no-one has correctly answered the question within that time frame, s/he may ask another question or delegate someone else to ask a new question. In the case of passing the go to anyone (i.e.: free turn) then the first person to post a new question is the new question asker. If the original question asker has not responded within 36 hours of posting his/her question then their turn is forfeited and it becomes a free turn."

I guess it's a free go to anyone.

There's nothing in the rules that says you can't use Google or Wiki or whatever to do some research into finding the answers, so it's not really cheating. after all, people can also look through DVDs or flip through comics and books to research answers too.

And there's a strictly defined set of words that are acceptable for Scrabble - for example "OK" is not an acceptable abbreviation for "okay." In Scrabble you can only use "okay" or the more archaic spellings of "oke" and "okeh" but "ok" is not accepted.

That's right - although it's been an unwritten rule that if you've just asked a question that you're not supposed to answer the next one. (-_-)

I've now added this as rule 8.0: "After asking a question, a player is not permitted to answer the next preceding question posed by the winning player. This rule is to prevent the game just being bounced constantly between two players. It may be overruled if the winning player decides to pass on his/her turn ('open floor')."

Since it wasn't specifically stated before, it's roller's turn now - but in future everyone please be aware of this rule (everyone's been following this rule pretty well up till now actually).
