Every day I will post at least one TF trivia question. Unlike the existing TF trivia thread, this one is just for fun. No points, no prizes (I might revisit the old thread if people want to play more competitively for prizes :)).
Today's question:
What word did Unicron once use to describe how Cybertron tasted?
Answer will be posted around midnight.
You mean in the Marvel Comics? I think he said "Tasty" - Er, no wait, that was Brainstorm. I don't know, I'm defeated.
My computer broke down last night - hence no midnight answer reveal. But the answer is succulent. ;)
Today's Q:
True or false - Titans Return Chase is called Roadburn due to trademark issues with the name Chase.
I'm more inclined to say - False.
Because there's a character named Chase in RescueBots who turns into a police car. So I don't think trademark issues was the cause of renaming the character as Roadburn.
You are correct! :D
New question: Which G1 Throttlebot did not have his rubsign indent removed when reissued in the early 90s?
Wideload. I got that Wideload during a trip to Adelaide, and it had a rub symbol.Quote:

The original Wideload looked like this on card:

New Question: Which G1 mail-away toy has his robot face still visible in alt mode?
My Wideload is in storage - in Malaysia! But you're right. The one I got was old stock from 1987 (it must have shelf-warmed like crazy). I remember the card was red (not gold), and it was badly creased; one of the reasons why I complained to my parents when they bought it for me - back then I liked my packaging/card to look pristine.
As for the new question - I honestly don't know off the top of my head.. I'm gonna guess. It was Cyclonus.
Not Cyclonus. He was a regular store release figure here and in every other country that I know of. Was he a mail-away exclusive in Malaysia?
Also... did Malaysia get the gold-carded/boxed Classic reissues? Cos AFAIK they were exclusive to Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I have zero knowledge about what toys were released in Malaysia but welcome any knew information. :D
But anyway, the answer is one of the mail-away exclusive Transformers of which there aren't too many of them... so come on, people - have a guess! :D
Hint: It's not Time Warrior.
I think I know the answer, but I cheated and looked it up. It's Thundercracker
I don't think we got mail-away exclusives in Malaysia.. If there was one, I never took advantage of it. As for Malaysian Transformer releases circa early-1990's, I'll answer in the Random Thoughts thread.
Your answer is still incorrect. While Thundercracker was one of the early G1 toys that was also available through mail-order, he wasn't a mail-order exclusive figure as the toy was initially available in stores.
Another hint: It's an Autobot
The answer is -- Powerdasher, F-1 type
New Question: In the live action Transformers film continuity, what is the name of the top secret US government agency tasked with the investigation of Cybertronians?
Answer: SECTOR 7! :eek:
...I thought that that was a rather easier question. No?
Maybe I should make these questions multiple choice. :o
Q: What does Transformers Prime Bumblebee transform into?
A) 6000 SUX
B) Urbana 500
C) Suburbia 300
D) Metro-racer 600
E) General Motors Chevrolet Camaro
Answer is (whited out): B - Urbana 500
I don't remember the name of the episode, but BB's alt-mode name was revealed to us when BB's transformation cog got stolen by NEST, making him no longer able to transform. Later at the base, Raf tries to cheer up a depressed Bumblebee. Unfortunately, a commercial for the Urbana 500 plays on the TV and it causes BB to chuck a hissy-fit.
You are correct! :D
New Question: Which episode features a cameo background appearance by a character wearing the same costume as the Ranger from Dungeons and Dragons?
Hank cameo'ed in TF Prime???
I didn't even know..
Sort of. They used the same costume but on a different looking person. Sunbow/Toei also worked on Dungeons & Dragons, so it seems that they just took Hank's character model and modified it for a background extra. :) Not sure if it was done as a deliberate Easter Egg or not though. :o
Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. Peter Cullen did the voice of Venger (the main bad guy in the D&D cartoon).Quote:

Answer: A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court
Here is an image of the background character in question.
New Question: Which G1 Transformer transforms into a Toyota Celica?
Ack! Denied. :p I thought you were referring to the Transformers Prime cartoon circa 2010-13, rather than the G1 cartoon. Silly me.
As for the next question; I think it was Camshaft. One of those mail-away exclusive bots who never appeared in the cartoons nor in toy-form on general retail (I'm also trying to answer these as soon as I see them, without looking up the answer. I'm guessing that's one of the rules).
If you don't mind, I've got 2 questions of my own; an 'expert' question aimed at hardcore fans, and a 'novice' one aimed at new/casual fans.
Expert: Rosanna was the pink and white Autobot mini-cassette who first appeared in Kiss Players. What was her occupation?
Novice: True or False - In the 1986 animated movie, the name of the green Autobot who said "I've got better things to do tonight than die" was Drift.
Feel free to ask away (anyone can ask or answer questions here :D).
These questions are too easy for me so I'll leave them for someone else to have a crack. :) Your expert level question is a good one, but I just happen to know because I have the toy. :p
No worries :)Quote:

The answer to my last question was Downshift.
New Q: Which G1 TF is called "Drag" in Japan?

Leadfoot. Leadfoot was originally introduced in G2.Quote:

He only became a member of G1-continuity Wreckers in the ReGeneration One comics, which of course were written after Dark of Moon so it was obviously a nod to Bayformers. And also G2 canon never happened in ReGen One so it's a splinter universe anyway.
Q: Which G1 Dinobot's alt mode is technically not a dinosaur?
Swoop?
Correct! Swoop is a pteranodon which were pterosaurs, an extinct species of reptiles and not avian-dinosaurs. :)
New Question: G1 Broadside was a member of which team?
NOTE: Team, not sub-group. So the answer is not "Triple Changers."
I believe he was a Wrecker.Quote:

Bonus Q: What do all of these Transformers have in common with each other? (other than transforming into cars and being Transformers)
