When Did One Continuity 'Drop The Ball' While Another One 'Caught' It?

[i_amtrunks]

He is not making sense of inconsistencies but rather trying to force his brand of crazy into canon. What that guy is doing is different to what I was trying to do by explaining the discrepancies between early Marvel G1 canon and late Marvel G1 canon which are in the same continuity.

That guy's name is Tramp in the DM.NET boards and he is a freak the likes you have never seen. He seriously has issues and I won't go into details on what his problems are because they will violate board rules.

If you are curious about what a crazy f*** he is you can read his stuff here but its not for the faint hearted:

http://www.donmurphy.net/board/showthread.php?t=26479

A bit of background: He spontaneously joined the DM.NET board and begun infesting it with his theories everywhere he could even in places where it wasn't needed. Someone was then smart enough to create a thread specifically about the subject to contain the craziness. As you read into what Tramp has to say, his argument begins to sound crazier and crazier.

There is also some crazy stuff that he does in real life that I won't go into here but its scary as hell.

I know he did the exact same thing at Seibertron, and I believe he also was on the warpath at TFW and allspark as well. Think he was banned from all 3 sites too.

He was also responsible for writing the only TF Mosaic that Hasbro asked to be removed, and no longer appears on their database. It involved Ironhide finding Powerglide with his daughter...

It might be okay to warn the members here about dodgy people (mostly if it is to protect us from them in some way), but try to restrain yourself on how you describe them, especially if they are not able to defend themselves.
There have been some crazy people in the fandom over the years, but their ideas or actions end up being ignored over time. Paying out on their ideas just prolongs the existance of those ideas.

There are only three words you ever need to type in any reply that you post to him - "shut up tramp." (that's what happens on boards that aren't as moderated as here - people take matters into their own hands and have to tell people like tramp to sthu - often board staffers would tell him to shut up too ). He's been banned from at least one board afaik.

Kup,

I must be a complete wacko because i think his whole fembot argument makes sense

Don't tempt me to quote some of the fundamental aspects of his theories which you have clearly missed since he likes to hide it in Real life biology, I will get banned if I do!

Funny how a simple reply one makes about storing a personality in a tiny capacity floppy disc can generate a whole lotta theories - about 2-3 pages of comments and end up with someone being wacko .... all the while this has been a meandering topic of dropping the ball and another picking it up. . Its a good thing I just scan and skim and not read in detail, coz its gonna be a headache heheheh

Here's one thing that I think all continuities have dropped the ball on: THUNDERCRACKER

By Primus Thundercracker is one of the potentially most interesting Decepticon characters who, time and time again is constantly under-used by writers! Most other Decepticons are pretty much loyal to the Decepticon cause (even if they're not necessarily loyal to their leader, they are still loyal to the basic cause). Thundercracker on the other hand is unsure and not fully convinced of the merits of the Decepticon cause. On the other hand he's not one who would side with the Autobots either. But having this element of a Decepticon who doubts his cause is really interesting and has the potential to make Thundercracker a pretty neat character if writers should ever choose to exploit that facet of his personality... but they never do!! BOOO!!!







Groove and Blades are under-used characters too. For some bizarre reason, cartoon writers gave Groove's personality to First Aid. The G1 manga did exploit Blades' personality though - which is one of my favourite things about the G1 manga... but otherwise Blades has a lot of untapped potential in him.

Blades is a lot like R2-D2 in Darths and Droid!

Hey Gok - I know you don't like fanfics, but I used all of that in my Thundercracker fic - Best First - which is still the reigning 'Best Fanfic Story Ever' from the last Trannies Awards and won 'Best Fanfic Story of the Year' in 2002. It's also the most reviewed and second-most read fanfic on Lexicon (thus, even though you don't like fanfics, this is at least one that other people like enough to vote it the best one ever and to read it a lot and, y'know, stuff.)

The Mosaic project has seen at least half a dozen focusing on Thundercracker being disenchanted with the Decepticon cause.

3 of them appeared within weeks of one another and it almost felt like overkill...
