On tonight's episode of Fanon Theater: What the hell happened to Armada?
>>155678292More interested in wondering why everyone has a hate boner for Bombshell being Cyclonus when him being Cyclonus would actually explain why the fuck the guy was so competent.
>>155678380because Bombshell was never loyal.
>>155678409>>155678380Also>But some fans dislike that asymmetry; they believe that if Thundercracker, the blue jet from 1984, becomes Galvatron's blue spaceship lieutenant, then Skywarp, the purple(-accented) jet from 1984, "ought to" become Galvatron's purple spaceship lieutenant. (The cross-sell catalogs included with 1986 toys even replace Thundercracker and Skywarp with Cyclonus and Scourge in the "Decepticon Planes" section.)
>>155678380Symmetry reasons (Thundercracker becoming Scourge) plus the fact that it is based on a big mix up where Hasbro accidentally gave Skywarp Starscream's tech spec numbers and vice versa, making Skywarp technically the real leader of the Seekers based on Tech Spec rank numbers
>>155678292Do we have a writers reason why he was ditched? I'm more interested in that than the fact he vanishes after introductions. >>155678409You say that like Bombshell, Skywarp, Thundercracker, etc, weren't dead and gone before and/or after whole reformatting, even as a kid I never understood why anyone cared whose corpse made the new leader toys main lackey. More so fucking Skywarp who was a near non character in the show. He was hardly used and had mook dialog. I'm pretty sure Rumble had more lines than him in the whole of Season 1 and 2.
>>155678544who said they were dead
>>155678544>even as a kid I never understood why anyone cared whose corpse made the new leader toys main lackey.just explained to you why. You don't have to agree with it but that's the reason
>>155678380>>155678544>I never understood why anyone cared whose corpse made the new leader toys main lackey. They never really watched the shows or consumed the media. At best it was just man children that grew up with Skywarp or never got his toy but wish they did imprinting on a grader character than what we got, I had a friend that died on a hill about Skywarp importance in TV and comics and he dug himself into a hole when the most noteworthy thing Skywarp did was in the comics and that was being a Starscream decoy to be killed so Galavtron would be confused and go back to his original timeline.>>155678564The fact their personalities are nothing like the original host bodies in the show is proof enough but both the story writers of S3 and script/story boards count them as dead.
>>155678564Season 3 Episode 9Octane goes to a Decepticon grave site and bumps into the grave for Skywarp, Thundercracker and Starscrem. He even apologize for bumping into Thundercrackers grave marker. That should have ended it but the people that argue this shit don't actually watch the show.
>>155678616no where in season 3 does it say they were dead.
the Deceptions think they were dead, because they threw them off the ship but Unicron reformatted them. Or can Unicron just make whole lives out of thin air?Octane also quotes Dirge's motto even though he's alive. and the Insecticons show up in Season 3.
>>155678292Got after the scene was finishedHe was a sweep essentially so he became redundant and got cut
>>155678292He appeared in the 3H comics, Cyclonus' Armada was a mindless drone that Cyclonus commanded mentally. By the beast era, he reverted back to being Skywarp.
>>155678380they're cowards
Man I love animation errors. All of these could potentially be a new character.
>>155678292Hisarmada.
