Talk:Blowpipe

From Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki

This reminds me. How do we want to handle the J-versions of the Targetmaster guns? "Blowpipe (Nebulan)" and "Blowpipe (Headmasters)"? Since the J-versions are little robots and all. (The Autobot TM guns even have similar-but-different names.) --M Sipher 03:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

The Nebulan Targetmasters were robots in at least one sub-continuity. (The UK annual retelling of the Headmasters saga, among several minor inconsistencies, said the Targetmasters were robots that'd been imprinted with copies of the minds of Nebulans, which was a dropped idea from Budinsky's original story treatment.) -NotHere 08:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

That's certainly an interesting trivia note for the main Targetmaster page (no, seriously, it is), but I'm not sure it sheds any light on the issue of the J-guys. --M Sipher 16:31, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not seeing any reason to handle them as separate characters, especially since sometimes the Nebulan-born Western ones are robots anyway. Chip 16:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
