Talk:Oil Slick (Animated)

Wheelie? Come on guys, that design has a stronger Cy-Kill feel than it does a Wheelie feel. Heck, the transformation is similar to Cy-Kill's, minus partsforming. And Cy-Kill got a black-and-green repaint that's so much awesomer than his red, white and blue color scheme too. Plus, they're both totally evil motorcycles. So I'm asking, before I get reverted and labeled a caption bastard... can I change the Wheelie ref to a Cy-Kill ref? --Detour 07:19, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I decided to save you the angst.--Apcog 09:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Chestface

Looking at this image of Lockdown and comparing to this image of Oil Slick, yeah, there's a resemblance. But really, I'd say that's supposed to be a very stylized bird on Oil Slick's chest. The triangular sections at the top are the head pointing at the viewer, angled down so you get sort of a top view of the beak. The four segments at the bottom are tailfeathers. I can go for a tongue-in-cheek comment about Lockdown's face, but Carrion and Rosicrucian obviously think Thy means it seriously.--Apcog 02:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Psst. Those are both Lockdown.--Rosicrucian^Talk 02:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Grr...bloody "Copy" keyboard command not paying attention to me. Fixed now.--Apcog 02:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

it's definitely some kind of tribal design, but it doesn't look anything like Lockdown's face.--Carrion 03:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Compare it to Bug Bite's tribal tattoo. No guns, similar tats, obscure but established color scheme? Evidence is mounting that he actually IS Cy-Kill. --76.20.88.10 19:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

He would be killed by Megs in five seconds then.--Dynamus Prime 15:36, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Images?

Why are the 2 images different????? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.23.202.3 (talk • contribs).

One's from the packaging and one's from the cartoon. I'm guessing it's an Earth mode/Cybertron mode difference. --abates 03:33, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

The second one is a screen capture from the show, as you would see in pretty every single fiction section for characters who appeared in a cartoon. - Cattleprod 12:38, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

Earth mode/Cybertron mode? He's never been to earth.Plus: One is from the comics (during the war) and the other is from the show. (how far away from earth) What they couldnt decide what he was going to look like?76.23.202.3 13:16, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

Maybe he changed his body? It's been known to happen. -- Semysane 13:19, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

The main pic is from his package art. The Fiction pic is from TransWarped. The toy was given an Earth mode because he was planned as a non-show character, and then they worked him in the show, but since he didn't go to Earth, they gave him a Cybertronian mode. --67.226.183.193 13:38, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

He's been to Earth, maybe not in the show, but at least in the toy micro-continuity. [edit:] He had to pick up that goat skull from somewhere. - Starfield 14:06, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

Just like Nightscream and Silverbolt needed to go to Earth to scan a bat and a condor? Or like how comic Nebulans looked identical to humans? (Not to mention the giant woman who wanted to have snoo-snoo with Cloudburst...)

Being semi-facetious there, yes, but the point is that you shouldn't just assume that goat skulls are only found on Earth. They might even be found on some Cybertrons. - SanityOrMadness 23:18, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

Interlaced Fingers

Due to the sculpt of his fingers and the rubbery materials used, he is the first and only Transformer who can intertwine his fingers in a menacing way. I note, purely in the spirit of accuracy, that the Deluxe Beast Machines Jetstorm toy can also interlace its fingers. But it's not menacing, so the above statement can be allowed to stand.

Kinetica

Anyone mind if I add a note about Kinetica to the trivia section? His "attack mode" is pretty much how the characters in the game look, for the most part. -King Starscream 16:32, 2 May 2011 (EDT)
