There's another case of Italian names appearing in the cross-sell on the back of French/Dutch/German "Ani Mutants" packaging: The 1997 Ultra Magnaboss and Tripredacus combiner sets. English/Spanish/Italian "Bicombat" Magnaboss: French/Dutch/German "Ani Mutants" Magnaboss...

EDIT: Okay, I think I know what happened. Somehow, Hasbro/GiG forgot/failed to give many of the 1997 line-up alternate Italian names for European English/Spanish/Italian "Beast Wars/Biocombat" packaging, as well as the cross-sells on the back. The only ones with Italian names appear to be...

So do I understand you right? You're saying that Jones and his team didn't conduct proper fact-checking before airing factual claims that had the potential of putting innocent people in jeopardy? And the main reason they did it was profit? What

Okay. Now we've established that: Second question. Did Alex Jones lie about this event by claiming it didn't happen even though it did, on his show?

You're all playing this wrong. Sunstorm, before we continue, a simple question to establish a basis for further discussion: Dield the Sandy Hook shooting happen, yes or no?

The attempt to kick former chancellor and current Russian asset Gerhard Schröder out of the Social Democratic Party has failed. https://www.politico.eu/article/gerhard-schroder-germany-spd-survives-party-exclusion-proceedings/

Unless they're operating out of Venice, I'm not buying it.

In the Marvel US comics, the characters only appear in a single issue, namely #46, published in July of 1988, in a story titled "Ca$h and Car-nage!" Wthin the story itself, Flamefeather refers to his team as the "Firecons", whereas the three Autobots are never referred to by a collective name...

Subsequently, the three Autobots find themselves at the very center of a multi-part story alongside Ultra Magnus, beginning with the two-parter "City of Fear" published in issues #164 and #165, in May of 1988. Right on the cover of issue #164, Ultra Magnus refers his the three fellow Autobots as...

A 1988 toy ad by Dutch retailer Bart Smit features the name "Sparkle minibot" (omitting both an "r" and a hyphen, and spelling the work "minibot" in lowercase), but only depicts the two Decepticons Flamefeather and Sparkstalker. A Dutch pack-in catalog included with the 1988 figures...

What exactly does the name "Sparkler mini-bots" refer to? Like with the Overbite/Jawbreaker case above, expect a lot of revisions for the following writeup, in case someone spots a glaring omission or points out something I wasn't aware of. So that batch of model sheets that include "Overbite...

Found photos of a Canadian-packaged Overbite and an English-only Overbite cardback with a Woolworth price sticker in Pounds!

Someone over at TFW2005 pointed out to me that one of Bob Budiansky's early working names for Grimlock was "Jawbreaker". I completely rewrote all the relevant parts, and added a new final part that covers the use of that name in the Beast Wars line.

Not sure if serious or joking... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_Go_Brandon

Here's another quickie: It's sometimes claimed that the number "38" on G1 Smokescreen's doors and hood, as well as on his Diaclone predecessor, "Fairlady Z Racing Type", was the result of a deliberate change similar to how the sponsor decals on several other Diaclone figures with racing...

The Cyberverse Deluxe three-pack is named "Heroes of Cybertron" according to Target's website. https://www.target.com/p/transformers-buzzworthy-bumblebee-heroes-of-cybertron-3pk/-/A-84794229

There are some scans of the UK letters pages online, but tracking them all down and sifting through them in a systematic order is going to be tough, even for me. I did find some weird conflicting claims elsewhere, though: Wikialpha, for example, claims the following: Meanwhile, the Fandom...

8) August-October 1988: The Seacons make their US debut in issue #47. Because Marvel US writer Bob Budiansky was the same person who wrote Overbite's bio, he was aware which name Hasbro had ultimately approved. Thus, the shark character is referred to by his correct toy name, "Overbite". This is...

So since this next one at least partially involves a toy-specific fandom myth, I thought I'd just keep it to this existing thread as well. Why was Overbite called "Jawbreaker" in the Marvel UK comics? I've tried my best to assemble a comprehensive timeline of events to explain what exactly...
