![]() ![]() A comical skull-and-crossbones on the sail does not a sigil make. Unfortunately we have no CONCRETE evidence for the sources of the insignias - other than Dery's comments. ![]() I also put it to you that the Autobot insignia is probably an abstraction of Prowl's toy face. I believe Floro Dery mentioned in an interview that the faction symbols were based on abstractions of faces done by another artist. Still, I don't think I'd say the Decepticon symbol is "based on" Soundwave, any more than I'd say that there's a generic similarity of shape. (Thanks for the side-by-side, incidentally). I think Soundwave's cartoon face is distracting you. The crest, the horns, the shape of the face, everything. But, damn, the Decepticon symbol does look like it was based on an abstraction of Soundwave's noggin. But nothing I can say with absolute certainty, so the note is down until further notice. I've seen folks say this for years, but I'm just not seeing it.- G.B. To me, Soundwave's toy's head looks NOTHING like the Decepticon symbol. Well, technically, it's based on the Decepticon symbol looking just like Soundwave's toy head. This is a myth that has perpetuated for years, but has no basis in fact.- G.B. Oh, and I totally disagree with the note that the G1 Decepticon symbol is based on Soundwave. If they're going to be here, we need to know where they come from.- G.B. The only thing I would ask for is some source text, especially for the more obscure symbols. (The only distinction shown here is color, anyway) I also question the simplified versions of the symbols used in the cartoon as "symbols" in their own right, but it seems that I've already been outvoted on that count. I'd need to go back to my G2 issues to check, but I question the validity of suggesting that the G2 Decepticon and Cybertronian symbols are any different. Similarly, there is essentially no similarity between the G2 Autobot symbol and Pyro - the G2 Autobot symbol couldn't much more clearly be Optimus Prime.Īlso, why is the CR Combatron insignia under "Beast Era"? ` LV 17:50, (UTC) In my opinion, the G2 symbol is clearly a stylized version of the G1 Decepticon symbol. The G2 Decepticon symbol looks nothing whatsoever like Clench besides sharing that diamond-shaped forehead crest, and it's missing arguably the most distinguishing feature of Clench's face - the triangular (point-up) mouthplate. (there 1 or two edges I couldnt' tell if they were suppsoed to be rounded or squared off.)- Derik 01:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC) My source for the G2 Autobot is distressingly low-resolution (I consider anythign under 400px wide low reolution) and I'm not entiely sure my blendtron synbol is 100% right. I don't have the Cybertron symbols though.- FortMax 23:11, 4 April 2006 (UTC) ZacWilliam 22:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)ĭo we want to include pics of the diffrent variations of the faction cymbols that appeared on the toy packageing? I have the symbols from the top of the old Tech Spec archive saved on my PC and found images for the Blendtron and Commando symbols. Oh and we should look through DW/IDW art to see if there are any other unnamed symbols there on buildings or anything. Speaking of rare symbols I really want the 5 Predacon symbols from IDW Beast Wars to be up here too, but should they go under BW PRedacon or be their own thing?Īlso there should be pics of both the regular Con symbol and the three-pointed Cartoon version. I think it's fine to include them, just with an info note that they're unused. Yea there was a screencap in Lone Maximal's faction symble thread b4 the allspark went down. TFU stupidity aside- they are not all Autobots and Decepticons now.Īnd I have to ask- there was an Arachnoid faction-symbol? The events after BM have been well established- Transtech was not it. I don't feel the Transtech faction symbols belong here. The idea that there is a BODY to this story beyond what's been written, the idea that it has a form BEFORE it's written. There's such an AWESOME buried assumption in a section called 'Known Faction Symbols.' This whole idea that there are UNKNOWN faction symbols too. 36 Autobot and Decepticon "Air Force" roundels?.33 Predacons Rising Unicron-Megatron symbol.27 Orange Unicron insignia dissapearance.14.1 That picture isn't even the right symbol.5.2 Bot/Con Symbols in RiD/UT sections?.4 The 5 Predacon symbols - Whoopsie.wrong file names guys. ![]()
