THE GREAT TF CROSSWORD PUZZLE 2

[Lint]

Finally, after months of searching, the cave of err.. TF Crossword 2 :)

http://i39.tinypic.com/106k2yq.jpg

This ones slightly smaller than the last one and the clues have taken on a more cryptic nature. Unfortunately I think its actually easier than the first and is less diverse in TF themes visited. :p

As per usual, please let me know if you spot any glaring errors or outright untruths behind the clues :rolleyes:

[Lint]

Wow, still no takers?

I guess I have to offer some super awesome grand prize like Goktimus does for his games? :p

[1AZRAEL1]

I'll give it a go if there is a super awesome prize :p

Nah seriously I'll print it off and give it a go at home when I don't have to worry about looking over my shoulder at work :p

[swoop]

I had a go and I only missed a couple

Across:
11. a long line of pirates
27. A prowl transforms into this make of car

Down:
3. A reaper... a prehistoric reptile?
8. Through the fires of war, culture must survive

those are the ones I dont know the answers to.

The ones that might be wrong are these

Across:
22. koreas takara. I think the answer is mocom toys but it doesn't fit.

Down:
5. Canadians hate wars. I think its beast wars but again it doesn't fit

I had a go and I only missed a couple

Across:
11. a long line of pirates Cybertron toys
27. A prowl transforms into this make of car Italian

Down:
3. A reaper... a prehistoric reptile? the answer is a compound word made up of the two clues
8. Through the fires of war, culture must survive 7 years of bad luck

those are the ones I dont know the answers to.

The ones that might be wrong are these

Across:
22. koreas takara. I think the answer is mocom toys but it doesn't fit. It's mocom's predecessor

Down:
5. Canadians hate wars. I think its beast wars but again it doesn't fit It doesn't fit because Canadians took away the war but preserved two syllables.


Gave you some clues, they sometimes help but not often :p

[swoop]

k I got 3 of the 6 thanks to your clues but I think I'll have to break out my devastation comics to get the reaper one and some serious googling the pirates and the through the fires of war questions

[swoop]

got the pirate one and is 3 down deathsaurus?. The last will have to wait until tomorrow

[GoktimusPrime]

Oh, I've worked most of them out... still a few left to go. ;)

Hey Swoop, here are some answers (spoiler tagged) for the ones you're stuck on. :)

22. koreas takara. I think the answer is mocom toys but it doesn't fit.
Answer: Sonokong --- I thought it was Mocom too at first, but the letters don't fit.


Down:
5. Canadians hate wars. I think its beast wars but again it doesn't fit
Now, I _think_ the answer might be Beasties (which is what the Beast Wars cartoon was called in Canada), but I'm not sure if the letters correspond with lines running through it. Gotta check that one again -- I've just been answering them in my head, I need to print it out and start filling them out to have a better idea of what fits. :p

Ones I'm currently stumped on are:
Across: 4, 11, 13
Down: 3, 8, 9

Btw, it's "Car Robot" not "Car Robots." "Car Robots" was a phrase coined by Ben Yee on BWTF and as usual, it took off amongst English speaking fans since (just like when he coined "Beast Wars the Second" even though it's really just "Beast Wars Second"). But yeah, in the original Japanese text it's "Robot" (singular) -- reference (http://tfkenkon.com/collection/act338/s/08.jpg)
