Seconded, though I wonder if the production team are conflating the better-known Sentinel Prime with Nominus, perhaps for ease of storytelling. Here's IDW's Nominus Prime, for reference.

...if he says his own name, must he disappear?

I'm a bit sad (though not wholly surprised, considering the bizarre behind-the-scenes making of the film that was his hi-then-die debut) that "Ze Little One" got caught up in all that. I don't believe he was ever among my contributions from that phase of the wiki (I was focused more on the Star...

In which Miley (and her plush pals) interviews a friend, and we learn about a thing that is real in Japan.

Make it... Bindependence Day!

It should be noted that Dr. Lecter has a disturbingly large fanbase -- to the point where I'm not sure how he'd rate on the "man vs. bear" index. Being portrayed as a "man of culture" Villain Protagonist by both Sir Anthony Hopkins and Mads Mikkelsen will do that. As to the rest....

I did mention a second bout of extended stasis lock... history rhyming and all that. 😉 Of course, David Willis was known to insist back on ATT of yore that after Hot Rod stopped shooting at said shuttle, Brawn guided it to a landing on top of Predaking -- which is why the team's debut was...

I'd like to think that Mrs. Nishimura wasn't quite like that, but anyway, enjoy the Mother's Day x DDLC skit!

Although there we get the prospect of Tunnel Rat amongst the "Best Ofs" and callbacks. Hmmm. Perhaps there will be a Missing Link Bludgeon? 🙃

For Mother's Day...

"Spalling" is, if memory serves, the technical term for the former, as was the explanation given for Brawn's second trip to extended stasis lock (per the "Tales of the Intermezzo" story, "Planet Brawn"). The World's Worst Fanfic gang, of course, had no compunction about making endless "Brawn's...

Maybe Ivanka could commission a lookalike brand? "Hugo Bass", or the like.

Or he unwittingly poisoned it with mercury, per Wonkette's reluctant dive into the story. Which I suppose is proof that irony is only mostly dead....

Glitterstim is very different in properties (and somewhat different in world-and-production) from mélange, but there's certainly a casual similarity. C-3PO's reference to "the sand mines of Neelgaimon" in Children of the Jedi had to be a bit of fun on Barbara Hambly's part, though.

Compare and contrast with Talon Karrde, whom Timothy Zahn described as the "big fish in the pond" after the fragmentation of the Black Sun and the collapse of Jabba's organization. The only things we really see him or his people do are information brokering and shipping various goods to worlds...

"Looks like Team Raksha's blasting off agaaaaiiiiiiiiiiinn...."

Another crossover, given the time of year this was likely inevitable. Yor Forger, Emperor's Hand? Revenge of the Fifth This is the May.

I must really be hitting the fannish/gaming nostalgia, as my first reaction was to wonder: Is this a kuei-jin thing? (Yes, it's a multi-language portmanteau word. Interestingly enough, I recently came across a Youtube channel that would have a field day with such things if the owner knew of...

For whatever it's worth, Scott McNeil blamed a rushed production schedule for 200X Mer-man sounding nigh-identical to Waspinator.
