The Beast Wars Trivia Thread

[starshadow]

ehehehe...it was a wild guess

[NaitoKage]

It's assumed he lived on cybertron in the tv series. In the manga, Stampy comes from a race of Space transformer rabbits. They had a planet established by Tazmanian Kid if I remember right.It even went so far as having stampy have parents. Ofcourse..nobody goes by the manga since other then Headmasters 90% of TF manga is too insane..

Next question: Aside from those with forms of stereos and automobiles, which Transformers (any faction) can play music?

The Jointron brothers! Arrrrrriiibbbaaa!!

[Razorclaw]

Hmmm...I'm assuming that everyone will automatically think of Blaster and Soundwave,so I'd like to call your attention to...

...* Drumroll* The Un-named Piano Guy!!!(Who is actually a harpsichord. ) He's from the comics,and works at Maccadam's Old Oil House,the favorite haunt of many mechs in many different series. The most recent use of it,that I know of was in Transformers Animated's "This Is Why I Hate Machines."

Un-named Piano-Harpsichord Guy,rather obviously,provides music for the bar atmosphere. He is a highly-abused member of the crew- in virtually every one of his cameos he is being threatened or roughhoused by Decepticon bar patrons. He must have an incredibly forgiving nature,or a high level of tolerance,because he continues to plug away at his job.

Jointron Brothers is correct so Goktimus gets a point. I'm sure Un-Named Piano Guy is also right, but Gok answered first.

"Pianor" (as I like to call him) doesn't count because he's a G1 Transformer, and this is a strictly Beast Wars Trivia thread. I'll post a new question soon, thx.

Yeaaah, but wasn't it once said that maccadam's exists outside of the normal time-space continuum anyways?

Q: Which Transformer has his faction logo/insignia located in his testicle.

P.S.: Happy New Year everybody

Q: Which Transformer has his faction logo/insignia located in his testicle.

Ummm....LOL!! This is the funniest question I've ever seen. Okay....I think there's no transformers as an insignia located on his testicle.

[NaitoKage]

Heinrad had the Maximal Faction logo on his testicle, it was technically his Spark crystal. The reason he would even have testicles is because he was a Tanuki, a type of japanese dog like creature that looks like a racoon with massive balls. They're known in legend to have mysterious powers and often use their testicles for amusing and unusual skills.

[Alak]

Agreed with NK. I'm surprised anyone would buy their kid a Heinrad toy lol.

[NaitoKage]

My ex girlfriend had one. In japan that sorta thing isn't that unusual, they have statues of Tanuki with swaying balls and plenty of children's cartoons that are anatomically correct.

[GoktimusPrime]

NaitoKage is correct!

Heinrad had the Maximal Faction logo on his testicle, it was technically his Spark crystal.

As far as the toys are concerned, Spark Crystals are where they display their faction insignias, much like rub signs. Heinlad really likes it when someone rubs his sign... likes it a bit too much methinks... :p

I'm surprised anyone would buy their kid a Heinrad toy lol.

As NaitoKage said, testicles on a Tanuki aren't taboo - and generally brief nudity isn't as taboo either (they have public baths in Japan). I find Anglophone societies are just way too uptight about nudity, especially Puritan-based American society. Look at that stupid controversy over Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction." Oh no, we saw her boob... run for the hills Pa Kent it's the end of the scrappin' world!! :p While most other people would look at that and think, "So?"

Btw NaitoKage, 日本語がわかりますか？ (^_-)

Heh, more spoken then text Goki. I learned a little Hiragana and Katakana but mostly just use the language for watching anime, tv shows, or movies. Though I did manage to get through Urusei Yatsura My dear friends with no guide.. (It's a Sega CD Point and click adventure entirely done with audio with little to no text at all.)

Now then for the next question..

What was the character that was originally supposed to appear in Beastwars that Tigatron took the place of?

[Blazemane]

Wolfang.
