"I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."

Was Derik also responsible for the idea that BWII and BW Neo took place around the same time as when the BW cast were from, and specifically the weird idea that Megatron and Galvatron were part of some organization together? Or for the idea that Car Robots was a different universe from Japanese G1?

I think the chart clearly shows that Smokesniper is native to 2004 and merely partners with the time-traveling Gigant Bomb. I always thought that too. At the very least, it makes more sense than assuming "Welcome to the dark side" was saying the Predacon ship was named the Darksyde.

Considering the fact that there are ads for medication where 80% of the runtime is the legally-mandated list of known side effects, no, I don't think requiring honesty would stop political ads. But it would make them less annoying, and more helpful for the small fraction of voters who actually...

He's bigger, but not Titan-sized based on his robot mode:

I've also noticed that Dinoking's anime/manga appearance always had his chest look more like Kakuryu's shell's head than it does on the G1 toy (where it's technically still a creature head, but from his inner robot's alt-mode), so they don't even need to retool him to transform differently.

They don't really answer to anyone; they have no incentive (other than their own scruples, which half of them don't have) to make any decision that isn't what they themselves want. Unfortunately, the less scrupulous ones want the same things as the Federalist Society.

Nice touch that his launchpad is colored like Countdown's rocket base (which Galaxy Shuttle also used).

With more than two parties it would be much less likely for one to be defined solely by being "not the other one", though. The fact that Republicans's cultishness forces Democrats to be "everyone else" makes "Democrat" a label defined by what one isn't...like "invertebrate". However, only about...
