Wow, I think you may be even more bitter towards the Wiki than I am. I just wish an 'informational' site didn't find itself so good at influencing public opinion.
It really isn't. I'm not bitter towards the Wiki. Sure, I don't like who's running it, and I'd do some things waaaay differently (At least they're back at LioConvoy!) but it's still a terrific resource.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

Well, that comic Claire and I were working on has gone through a whole lot of evolution, mostly consisting of all the ideas being shoved under a desk... But we've gotten back into it, and settled on one specific idea, and Skullcruncher's a part of it.

...But so is pinpoint accuracy, so I've gotta know what the guy is. I'm leaning towards gator!

Yeah, it'd be nice to post some teaser artwork sometime soon. The basic concept has actually been "done", but honestly? We're doing it better.

I vote "Gator". Can't really back it up with a good solid reason, but when I see his alt. mode I just think "Hey, neat, alligator". But Hasbro clearly had trouble telling which was which in crocodilain matters back in that era. Look at, say, that fella from Cobra, who wrestles alligators, trains alligators, and is packaged with an alligator. Yep, the guy called Croc Master.

But right, I'd vote "Alligator as designed by an alien species that has some idea what an alligator was sort of".

You know, if you wanted to be whimsical, you could just make his altmode the subject of debate between the characters throughout the entire story. That would solve the issue in a unique way, and it could be pretty fun if done right.

I.. dammit, that's just the kinda thing I WOULD do, too! Thanx gaiz.

I think the most important thing we've learned today is that, regardless of whether Skullcruncher is a crocodile, an alligator, a caiman or whatever... he's more concerned about what's for lunch today. Thank you again, and good 'morrow!
