okay people! Sideburn is back on-line and back in busines! You might remember me as

the genius behind the poplular "most powerful megatron" poll last summer. well NO poll this time! just say which tf had the least kibble and why you like it! What's that? My opinion? oh, uh 20th AV. Prime. just smoke stacks and leg wheels. happy posting! ( once again go ahead and flare and gripe. we need to get the rust and impurites out of our systems.)[this is why I do this rarely, MODs. bare with me, please. don't hurt me!] :tftounge

Hell, i don't even consider the stacks and wheels as kibble.

MP/20th Prime I would say too, though you could consider his trailer if it ever comes out to be kibble.

Why, it doesn't hang off him. Isn't that the definition of Kibble? Like Bantor has a baboon ass hanging off his left arm. That's kibble. (it's funny too :) )

LOL :rofl :rofl I STILL have him (bantor) in a box in my garage! I always thought that was wierd but I've never heard it like that! I used to call him buttor! Ha Ha Ha good one! by the way, I count kibble as any thing that wouldn't look normal(within reason of course) on a "normal" robot. so that being said prime has 15 peices of kibble: wheels, smokestacks, windshields, running lights above cab, fuel/brake fluid tanks,toe lights, and grill on chest.

(here's a tip:look from all angles!) read'em and weap G1'ists. your precious prime has a blemish on his record. bwahahahahaa :mwahaha

mp convoy/prime

 

to me kibble is rather large chunks of alt mode that just hand off like Alt grims back plate and tracks's doors so primes lights toe lights chest grill and wind shield are very well intergrated into his bot mode (his chest grill is not even the same on the alt mode its just thier to make him more like the toon)

yeah I'd have to agree with Blitz. Cuz when I think of kibble, I think of things that would get in the way were the mech to have a seat. Prime's windshields don't get in the way. I also think a mech would identify with his alt mode, and wear it proudly in his mech mode. (unless he was Snarl or Grotusque, hey man, them's the breaks.) So... least kibble... let me think... Hot Shot has minimal kibble, door panels/windshield panels hanging off him.

 

oh sideburn - i have an unfinished beast wars fanfic featuring characters that woke up after the Maximals left for Cybertron. The first two Maximals to meet each other after respectively waking up alone are Torca and Bantor, who was quite perturbed to see his kibble. He ranted to Torca about it "what the slag is with this??" shaking the baboon ass around. I wrote that it fires out a tazer type projectile, causing much pain to the circuits of his target... hilarity ensues :)

I don't understand what kibble is, and the descriptions here make it sound like a rather daft criticism for what, after all, are transforming robots.

 

For the record, Unicron seems fairly kibble-less. Not that he could really have kibble, of course, but still.

Well I guess that's what we're trying to determine here. Unicron's got a fair amount of kibble, what with the planet shells hanging off his back. I guess one man's kibble is another's essential bits. I guess it's anything that doesn't incorporate itself into the mech mode, but hangs off of it uselessly (like Bantor's assglove, or the whole back half of E-Sharkticon).

 

also - let me just say I don't *mind* kibble per-se, I think it's an everyday part of life for a transforming mech.

 

PS- i say mech because the Czech origins of the word "robot" mean "forced labor", as far as I've heard, and I don't think the Autobots and Decepticons would want to refer to themselves as slaves. Neither do I :) :wave

But they were Slaves in the begining, don't they call themselfes Mechanoids?
