Talk:Reproduction

Some terms...

Ravage's ending from the Transmetals game:
 * Ravage decided that it was time for him to fight for the Decepticon legacy once again.
 * Ravage betrayed the Predacon Commander Megatron, then entered the ancient Autobot battle cruiser, the Ark. Ravage then produced a prototype cloning device based on transreplication technology.
 * This device would allow him to produce clones of the ancient Transformers, complete with memories and personality functions intact.
 * One by one, he downloaded protoform cloning data of the legendary warriors... Megatron, Skywarp, Starscream, Thundercracker, Reflector, Rumble, Frenzy, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw... And of course, Soundwave...
 * Ravage returned to Predacon space. The moment was close at hand. Soon, he would revive the Decepticon army to conquor the future... To conquor... Forever! 

So the term 'transreplication' seems to fit into normal TF replication in Beast-Era. (I'm cautious about that, but I don't see any other conclusion...) The term has to be in there SOMEWHERE at least.

And in the Young Corgi TF books, Hot Rod says he was Matrixed, whichs eems to be the proper term, despite taking place after the Matrix left on the Ark. (Blaster's less than 4 million years old too, so clearly this is POSSIBLE...)

Oh, and YET ANOTHER retellign of TF means of reproduction that leaves out the EXPLICIT DESCRIPTION of how new TF's are made from Dreamwaves MTMTE. Yaay! Oh sure, it's only been otu there for 3 years, but I still run into people who insist on having passionate discussions about how this sort of thing works, insisting they're right- who've never heard of the Dreamwave version. Which is STARTLINGLY SIMILAR to the Transmaters version, and also fits the terminology of the Young Corgi version.

It's an uncomplicated scenario that actually AGREES WITH THE FANNON. Am I really being unrealistic to say 'Gosh, I really wish we'd gotten the one explicit explanation of TF reproduction up here on the first try?' (clearly, I'm being picky) -Derik 06:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
