The Intergalactic Highway

*cough* On behalf of Megatron, I'd like to add,

"Silence, fleshlings, before I turn YOU in to fuel!"

Yeah. That could work. (Thanks for the mental push there lol, that's the first time Megs has given me a working line in 2 days! XD )

Tbh, I've sort of got a little bunny I'm working on right now where Megs, Inferno, and Rampage are stuck in the US during the 80's when their ancestors were around. I've spun it so that Megatron has decided not to attract the attention of either faction right away because while the Predacons are certainly powerful, their size versus that of their ancestors makes him slightly more vulnerable. They are all there simultaneously though, just not in the same state at the same time... Anyways, where I'm going with that is this:

What about G1-timeline-ish, the 'Bots and 'Cons are off doing their own thing, but we're just kind of, you know, not really involved. I get that they have huge battles and stuff going on, but I mean, there had to be areas on G1 Earth that didn't always see them close up. It still gives us some excuse to be fangirls/boys, and we can argue that toys and cartoons have been created based off the awesome "real life" TFs of that universe. You don't really have to know much about G1 other than there's stuff going on in other parts of the planet, and we can always read up a little extra on current events of that universe before we go ahead so we can reference when necessary. They wouldn't have to be involved other than the odd cameo if we feel that they'd have a reason to investigate us, and it also gives the Beast Warriors a plot device to work with - they'd either be trying to avoid attention to protect the timeline and/or themselves, or they'd be trying to *get* attention to either have help getting home or in the Predacons' case, gain tech and power.

How's that for a bit of a compromise?

As for the handicapped comment, sorry, I should of just say Paraplegic, since I was thinking of Circuit breaker.(Though to be honest I never liked that character, she was very insane.)

I'd rather you just state disabled woman/female (if said person is female). Even paraplegic is pushing it. (Again, that term also depends on the person in question's preference on being called.)

And please, go back and fix your post to say 'cripple'.

Read a small article here if you want to on why I'm upset And perhaps educate yourself on why it's just NOT acceptable to use the word 'cripple'.

That's exactly what I was going for Nurann, you just worded it much better then I could ^^

Ah, well, good to know we're really on the same page then! lol

On a more general side note, having had a number of communication mis-steps myself today I understand how frustrating and embarrassing the wrong word choice can be for both communicator and listener. Would it be cool with you guys if we try not to embarrass each-other further by drawing any more attention to the mix up? Thanks.

Megatron lives inside of you Nurann! Hehe.

Sounds just fine to me. Compromise excepted. lol.

Sounds fine as well.

Okay. Good. *does happy dance* Now what else needs to be discussed?

Unless anyone else can think of something that needs to be discussed...? I think we pretty much have our answers. Next think to do is...audition for the parts!

We can't stress that enough.

LV and I, we will both be waiting for those PM's!

Since there's been about 3 pages worth of discussion, DS, could you summarize what you and LV have in mind just so that there's no future confusions?

Sheesh! Ok calm down people. Paraplegic is a perfectly legit MEDICAL term for somebody who has experienced complete paralysis of the lower half of the body including both legs, usually caused by damage to the spinal cord. Just saying somebody is 'disabled' doesn't really specify whether they are physically disabled, mentally disabled, or whatever is going on. So in this case I certainly don't see Nightshadow as being in the wrong.

Phoenix, this issue has been resolved.

I think it's a lot of what Nurann previously said:

So in another terms. We, ourselves are meeting the other members of the board for a BWINT gathering. I believe we stated in BC.

I'm not sure if we ever agreed on how the Maximals and Predacons would arrive to our time, but I just finished watching "Dinobot Island" on Youtube and that's a good way. Maybe another battle can take place there and create a time portal that brings the Beast Warriors here.

Dinobot island?

It's a two-part G1 episode from season 2. Makes no sense, but it's a good excuse for time travel!
