If its Wheeljack, it sets a new record for character bastardization on the part of Bay and Hasbro.

You’ve been here since March 2007 and have only contributed three posts? Yeah, okay. I wonder what you’re more well known name is.

Doomofman · 07-31-2010, 06:03 PM

At lease it isn't supposed to be a classic character.

Doomofman · 07-31-2010, 07:43 PM

That's the thing though... I don't have to connection to the classic characters like most of you guys but I STILL think some of the stuff Bay has done with Transformers is fucking stupid... And I'm a fan of Bay

TFreak · 07-31-2010, 07:45 PM

That face man, it's just, so... wrong/off/weird.

I just don't see "Transformers" in it.

It reminds me of the early Megatron face that was rejected.

Hopefully this shitface gets changed too.

Saadizzle · 07-31-2010, 08:37 PM

I think it's Hi-Q and that Nelson just said Q a few time to be vague.

THAT's the name I was trying to remember! Remind me; who was Hi-Q again?
Hi-Q sounds like the kind of name Bay would approve.

Hi-Q was the Nebulan inventor who developed the Powermaster technology. When Prime was voluntarily blown up after losing in a video game, his mind was saved on a 3.5 inch floppy disk. Bumblebee and a group of Autobots went to Nebulous to find Hi-Q and have him build Prime a new body. The problem was that after the whole Headmaster situation, the Nebulans made their fuel poisonous to Transformers, so even if Prime had a new body, he could not refuel. The Powermaster process was made to counteract this, by turning Nebulans into fuel converters. The tech behind this must be pretty intense and gross. Two scientist who worked with Hi-Q, Hi-Test and Throttle, stole the tech to turn themselves into Powermasters for Darkwing and Dreadwind.

Hi-Q was hesitant to give the tech to the Autobots, but when the Decepticons Powermasters posed a threat, he reluctantly gave in and suited a team of Nebulans to become the Autobots Powermasters. It should be noted that he thought Prime was just a program on a disk and it wasn't until he showed a sense of pain and emotion in his newly built body that convinced Hi-Q that Transformers were more than just machines. So with his team joined up with the Autobots, except for Bumblebee,he then Binary bonded himself with Prime, becoming Primes Powermaster.

At the end of G1 Marvel, Prime ditched Hi-Q on Cybertron when he was about to confront Unicron with the Matrix. Prime was initially killed in the attack. Hi-Q went along with the Kneo-knights (An X-men type group of meta humans who were grouped together with GB Blackrock and Circuit Breaker and brought to Cybertron) when the war was "ended" the Autobots and Decepticons both evacuated Cybertron and left the humans there, including Hi-Q. Hi-Q was crazy telling them that he was really Optimus Prime.

The Humans ended up finding the Last Autobot (Mcguffin) who was a Matrix Like robot created by Primus, who saw Hi-Q and noticed that he was a cross between two noble beings. The Last Autobot then took Hi-Q and in what is also a disturbing scene, rebuilt him into Optimus Prime. So if you think about it, after that, Prime is really HI-Q with Primes memories rebuilt into Prime. And if you think even more, since Hi-Q was humanoid, then final Marvel G1 and G2 prime is a Cyborg.

I don't remember if Bumblebee was Goldbug yet. I am pretty sure he was, and this was after GI Joe vs. Transformers.

Fit For Natalie · 08-01-2010, 04:06 AM

I can't believe this little thing has made it this far around the internet. Isn't it likely that "Q" just an on-set placeholder name just like all the other placeholder names used for the last two movies?

Remember when call sheets for ROTF referred to Sideswipe as "Stinger"?

I mean, I would imagine Hasbro would have a hard time trademarking "Q" or "Autobot Q" as a trademarkable name, unless they hid it in something convuluted like "Nightwatch Autobot Recon Assault Q".

It was the mid-late 80's. Not everyone had a personal computer in their homes yet. Two-Thirds of the general public was barely aware how little info 1.44 Mb really was. And I think it is save to say that Bob Budiansky fell into that category, at that time.

Are you implying that he’s secretly in love with the character but doesn't want to admit it because of the backlash? I thought we left all this immature “Bay-Loving” bollocks behind us.

Anyway, do we actually know for sure that his name is Q? Nelson could’ve just been calling him that because that’s the sought of character he is.
