transformers' AGES

Unread post by Jagna »

you know how in the beast wars series, they never really specified about how old any of them were?
okay, it was onvious that cheetor was the young-un and sometime or other it was identified that rattrap was one of the older ones...but has anyone REALLY considered it thouroughly?
here's what ive deduced (well, at least what iv managed... :? )
maximals
optimus: 48
rhinox: 50-ish
rattrap: early 50s
cheetor: 16/17 - 19
dinobot: late 40s/early 50s
tigatron: 42
air razor: 35 - 39
silverbolt: 29
depth charge: 45

predacons (these guys are hard!)
megatron: 45 - 50
scorponok: 44
tarantulas: 51
waspinator: 45
terrasaur: 32
blackarachnia: 32
inferno: 27
quickstrike: 29
rampage: 41

bearing in mind theses are ages in terms of human years...i no some of them might not be compatible (eg air razor and tigatron, silver and black but since when did age matter, huh?) but these are all guesstimates (estimated guesses)...
u do not have to give reasons but you can if you want...i dont want to at the moment, bcause i want to give evry one a chance to either agree or disagree with me, and to justify your reasons

...

we were bound to get to this sooner or later! go on, have a go...ill be waiting!
toodles and cheers!

Funny how this topic shows up a few days after I've been thinking about it on my way to school. Weird.
Anyways, been checking it, but haven't seen any other topic (so far) WW.

But, my ages.

[b]Maximals
Optimus Primal: in his early to mid 30's
Rhinox: in his late 40's
Rattrap: in his early 30's (I'll give my thought, he's 33)
Cheetor: from 16 to 18 (during the series)
Dinobot: late 30's
Tigatron: late 20's to early 30's
Airrazor: around 22 to 24 years old
Silverbolt: around 21 to 24 years old
Depth Charge: In his 40's

[/b]Predacons
Megatron: in his 40's (maybe mid)
Scorpinoc: early 40's
Terrorsaur: mid 30's
Waspinator: same age as Terry
Tarantulas: mid to late 40's or even early 50's
Inferno: same age as Terry and Waspy
Rampage: late 40's
Blackarachnia: around 21 to 24 years old.

Those are the mine.

Meeeh, I wasn't going to post tonight, but you're right WW, I could've sworn we've talked about this before on an older version of the forum... I keep thinking someone party-crashed and gave us the "they can live to millions of years..." (un)reality check.

Kinda makes ya feel old, don't it? Looking around and seeing threads we thought we'd replied to death and burried ages ago. Darn that Optimus and his lightening bolts! *sweeps her allusion to the old days of floating pop-ups and the failed RP under the carpet*

Speaking of old...

Maximals:

Optimus: YES! Someone else thinks he was in his thirties! Just the way he and Rattrap were interacting in the first episode, it gave me the sense that it really *was* his first command and giga-bummer, look what happened! While it would be stressful for any leader, anyone much older or more experienced might have had a little more respect and cooperation from his crew.

Cheetor: 19-21. If I'm not totally whacked out on lack of sleep, I think that's the age range a lot of us are in or near? Would he not fit in to this group perfectly? Also, and I think this was argued before in WW and I's phantom thread, why would someone as young as 15 or 16 be on a deep-space exploration mission? Irrisponsible, maybe, but he really doesn't seem like a high-school drop-out (since we're comparing this to human ages).

Rattrap: 34. Street-wisened, yet young enough to still be able to flirt with young, hot femmes.

Rhinox: 40's.

Dinobot: Now this one's hard to pin. If he's older than Rattrap, he can hide it well. If he's younger, he can act pretty mature. ... Make that "act older"; neither of them act maturly.

Airazor: 20's

DC: I agree with Jagna, 45 seems right for him.

BA: The universal "29".

SB: Primus, if he didn't remind me of an x-bf...! Normally I'd think he was a bit older, but because of the "naive" and "sappy" similarities, I'll say 22, 23.

Predacons:

Megs: Hey Starath, didn't your Megatron once say he was 143?
Lol j/k, in human years, delete the one.

Scorponok: Around the same as Megatron.

Terrorsaur: 27. No real reason.

Tarantulas: 60's. It's hard to be a scary, crazy old mad scientist when you're fresh out of Cybertron U.

Inferno: 40's.

Rampage: I don't know why, but Una's suggestion of 43 strikes me as a good one.

Everyone's making them so old?
waspinator: 45
??? Why on earth would you think that? I'd say it's pretty hard to assign an age to Waspy, but he's most likely quite young...

Optimus Primal definitely seems a bit "younger" than Optimus Prime, for sure.

I think people are saying Airazor is old because of her deep womanly as opposed to girlish voice... but I'm pretty sure she's meant to be "young", it says she sees Rhinox as her "uncle".

I don't really think you can assign human ages to Transformers in general, though. I mean, Kup would be pretty old in "Human" standards but he's still physically pretty great.
Rampage - He is immortal so really he could be any age and it would not matter
See, that's silly, as most TFs are practically "immortal" in a sense anyway, they live for millions or at the very least thousands of years(if you're counting continuities that got rid of the "MILLIONS OF YEARS" nonsense, I mean, what was Shockwave doing up there for Millions of years?).

I'm not too skilled in this show but I got opinions, me and VBA went over this before too, so here's how I have it:

O.P. - 45 - 50 (experienced leader who's been around long enough)
Rhinox - 50 - 55 (Optimus' old friend so he can;t be young)
Rattrap - 40 (old wise crackin commrade, who's apparently seen it all)
Cheetor - 20 - 25 (young up and comer, still too immature to lead yet)
Dinobot - 40 (chizzled warrior - I picture wolverine if he were human)
Silverbolt - 35 (horny middle aged man)
B.A. - 29 - 32 ( sexy older chick who plays the field)
Tigertron - 40 - 45 (seems like an a old dude)
Airrazor - 35 - 40 (seems like a middle aged chick)
Depth Charge - 35 (middle of the pact type warrior)


Megatron - 50 (he's like Optimus, been around long enough to lead)
scorpinok - 40 - 45 (reminds me of Bill from King of the hill)
terrorsaur - 30 - 35 (still young enough to desire power more then reason)
waspinator - 25 - 30 (young and dumb)
tarantulas - 50 - 55 (I picture a white haired mad scientist if human)
inferno - 25 - 30 (young and dumb like waspinator)
quickstrick - 25 - 30 ( definately not old)
rampage - yeah immortality kind of ruins the age guessing fun!

Rattrap seems like the guy who thinks he's seem it all rather than someone who has seen it all, I'd say he's actually a bit of a kid himself.

As opposed to them being robots with pretty ageless personas :P
