Please tell me these guys are really taking this seriously.
The comments are even funnier than the article.

All I want to know is how come you missed the animated series as a kid?
Saturday mornings in the Uk was always TF time in my house, even back in the 80’s

Keep up the amazing unbiased reviews.

P.S you also missed out on how cool it was of Xaaron to steal Megatrons head.
Twins if ever I saw them

PS. How many figures are there of Xaaron? Your little Paper doll? Trion has his own repaint of another figure (still more than Xaaron) a PVC figurine (meh) and even a planned but unreleased Beast Wars incarnation, due more to the fact that the hosting agent fell through then the figure itself.

Hmm, you seem to be in the ownership of several Alpha Trion misconceptions, so I shall attempt to point you into a more proper direction. Not that Xaron isn’t cool, but let’s be a little more grounded in this otherwise humorous mockery.

1) Tidiness
As I recall in Key to Vector Sigma, Trion’s lab was throughly trashed, at the very least by the cons and quite possibly before them, so the fact that you have a picture of his base cleaned means he DOES take care in it’s condition. Also, anyone who’s building LIFE can hardly be leavign tools in their packaging. Did Xaaron do that? No? I didn’t think so. Which is more Autobot-y? Life? Or murdering your allies? Trion chose Life.

There’s also a flaw in your Prime/Elita siblings theory. By your logic, if a Surgeon saves my llife and then saves some other random girl, she’s my sister. I don’t think so. Now, if Prime and Elita had come from the same kitbox, then you’d be absolutely correct, but they were two normal lifeforms who recieved Emergency Sergury at the same time, possibly with a few transplanted organs, which is also not uncommon. And I fail to see anything kinky about a transfusion.

And secret? Why can’t a patient know the location of a base? Hasbro cut out a lot of serching yes, but if ypu’ve been there, why would one get lost?

Of Altmodes:
Seeing as Xaaron and Trion are of the same age, then the argument stands that Trion too was not able to transform. So instead of carrying around excess parts that could break and cause him pain, he simply selected the option for the actionmaster look over trying to maintain it. And I fail to see any altmode cues on Xaaron either.

Also of note, the name of the race is Cybertronians, not Transformers. Though most of them in fact are, the Episode when we met A3, (youg Trion) Also didn’t appear to be able to Transform, nor his allies (I don’t believe, could be wrong) So mayhaps, he’s been such a successful leader without an altmode. Effectively, with one hand tied behind his back. Can Xaaron claim that?

Anyone else noticing that Xaaron doesn’t have an effective mouth? All he has are thee slits like the Man in the Iron Mask. Displaced Atobot leader? Or someone who’s deformed at creation and had it partially stitched shut

Poxy Computer: HAH! You make me laugh. Surely it occurs to you that Vector Sigma is in fact Primus’ heart and soul? It CREATES life, it contains his vast wealth of knowledge. Primus took a much less active role in the cartoon, as he was barely even noted, But a fusion between Trion and Primus did in fact happen, so the debate is whether Comic Primus was better than cartoon Primus based on how much he got involved in their lives. Also, the Simga nodes were revealed in more modern comics to be interconnected on a dimensional scale, so when Xaaron/Primus whent against Unicorn, it’s EASILY argueable that there was also a mixture of Trion in there. So Nyah!

Besides, That was Primus power in Xaaron’s chassis. He was a vessel. If that was Xaaron himself, Unicron would have squashed him like a bug. It’s no different than Rodimus Prime, Uni doesn’t care about him, he cares about that magic-8 Discoball with handles that could kill him.

Flies?
I fail to see flies, instead I see grease streaks, no doubt from a hard day’s work. Why was Xaaron always so clean? Did he ever DO anything?

Xaaron licks yarbles after a good round in his tradesmen’s entrance. Long live Alpha Trion!

This is VERY biased if you ask me. I read the whole comparison and I get that since you’re British you naturally like the characters you grew up with. You said that Alpha Trion was the Autobot leader, BUT it was actually Optimus Prime. The reason he never fought was that he was not built for combat. Optimus Prime and Elita-1 were both boyfriend and girlfriend before they were rebuilt by Alpha Trion, and were rebuilt t because Megatron had nearly killed them both. AND don’t think I’m biased, because I have read a lot of the british TF comics. The wire Alpha Trion had optimus prime connect himself to Elita-1 with was to recharge her spark with his own. The reason he had Elita-1 carry out her mission in “The Search for Alpha Trion” was, again, because he was not a combatant and was most liely not close enough to shockwave’s command center to rescue prime. And why would you think Emirate Xaaron dissing his troops be “cool”, it maes him seem like a jerk, and, if Optimus Prime were leader in your countries comics, he would have went himself, along with a few others, to rescue the micromaster battle patrol team. The reason Alpha Trion merged with Vector Sigma was because Megatron had stolen the Key to Vector Sigma and that was the ONLY way to activate it to give life to the aerialbots. Alpha trion was also the one who freed the Transformers from enslavement by the Quintissons, which you had neglected to mention. You also said that he had an alt. mode, but as seen in “Desertion of the Dinobots”, the Autobots invented the art of transformation to help fight back to the decepticons, which would mean, with Alpha Trion’s age and all, he would not be able to transform. Also the “flies” buzzing around Alpha Trion were drawn in using either a photoediting software, or something like MS Paint. FINALLY, to prove my being unbiased i own the Ultimate Guide to Transformers, have read a version older than the one I own, and have watched numerous G1 TF episodes.

Okay, this comparison was absolutely, utterly glorious. I laughed out loud at each round.

What an amusing–not to mention, completely and utterly objective–study you have have conducted, my good sir! 8D

Seriously, Xaaron is just absolutely incredible. <3

Bull. Alpha Trion is so cool when not doing anything at all that before his Shattered Glass counterpart even did anything people are already afraid.

Haha. Never thought I’d see a blog about these two. Xaaron (or whatever) though should lose about 4 million points though just for being the lamest Transformer ever to grace fiction and not to mention the ugliest. Somebody cut those strings in his mouth!

Agreed.
