Talk:Recycling

I have called shenanigans on this article because:


 * The cited interview with writer does NOT contain the term "recycling" at all.


 * The process it describes does NOT match the first use of the term "recycle" in the show: Dinobot telling Optimus Primal in the pilot that after he killed him, he'd have him "recycled with full honors." This indicated that recycling is something done to a Transformer's BODY, not his mind.


 * That point is further supported by the fact that "recycled with full honors" is, by all appearances, exactly what was done to Dinobot's body in "Code of Hero." Quoting the episode's script:

The body of Dinobot (R) floats between three massive power-poles, his weapons crossed on his chest.

SFX: "TAPS"-type music.

At the base of the structure, by the "recycling" symbol, Rattrap (R) stands with Rhinox (R) They gaze up as:

THEIR POV - OPTIMUS (V), CHEETOR (V) AND SILVERBOLT (B) fly past overhead, in the "missing man" formation. As they do:

Rattrap pulls a lever. Dinobot’s exostructure is vaporized, its atoms whisking into the powerpoles


 * To sum up: recycling is, as far as I can see, NOT the process of mind-wiping described by this article.
