WTF?! That has to be one of the most absurd things anyone has ever said to me. I don't go into an argument unless I have a "proper grasp" of what I'm talking about. And when it comes to Transformers, I know what I'm talking about.Onslaught Six wrote:I never liked arguing with you, Sparky, mostly because sometimes it feels like you don't have a proper grasp on the facts.
Well with agriculture, you have to take into consideration the conditions of the land, planting time, environment, lighting, watering, fertilizer, crop rotations, harvest time... It's a bit of a complex process and I'd have to say I think harvesting solar power or hydro power would be a great deal easier. Plus it's something the Maximals really don't have experience with. With out Botanica's help, their plants would have died.Dominic wrote:Think real world agriculture. I think that is where BWP was going with this.
My main point was that, instead of "Send out a bunch of scouting ships to scour other planets WAY out there for other forms of energy that might be there, while we experiment with stuff like solar and nuclear power back here on the planet" and all that other complicated crap that Sparky was going on about, it would be WAY easier to just go "Okay, let's just change the whole planet so that everyone on it is pretty much self-sustaining." *POOF-DONE!*Dominic wrote:Sparky Prime wrote:Easier?

-watching this thread carefully.
Solar and hydro energy are both clean, renewable sources of energy. While designing Autobot city for TFTM, it was mentioned it was supposed to have things like a hydro-electric dam as a means of producing energon cubes. If the Autobots had such technology then it would not have been new or experimental by the Beast Era. With such technology, Cybertron pretty much already would be self-sustaining. Add on top of that, the population of the planet had downsized by the Beast Era to smaller, more energy efficient bodies suggesting the Maximals/Predacons had learned from their ancestors power consumption mistakes. Not to mention these technologies are not nearly as complicated to implement as reformatting the entire planet and learning about agriculture in order to provide crops for the entire planet.BWprowl wrote:My main point was that, instead of "Send out a bunch of scouting ships to scour other planets WAY out there for other forms of energy that might be there, while we experiment with stuff like solar and nuclear power back here on the planet" and all that other complicated crap that Sparky was going on about, it would be WAY easier to just go "Okay, let's just change the whole planet so that everyone on it is pretty much self-sustaining." *POOF-DONE!*
