Title: Potatoes...? Really?
Post by: tusko on December 15, 2011, 06:00:19 PM
I really enjoy the various search options here.  The database SHMAX has created is truly marvelous and beyond my little pea brain to comprehend.

That said, I can search the form -> food -> potatoes and get a bunch of cool looking figures.  What's the connection?  Its not obvious to me.

I get Optimash Prime and other potato heads.... but why G1 Hound?  Why Prowl reissue?

Because they all contain this part:
http://shmax.com/part_details/14692/missile (http://shmax.com/part_details/14692/missile)

which for some reason has a "Potato" form linked to it. When that change was made, all other parts that share that mold inherited the spuddishness, and here we are.

I will leave it as an exercise to the reader (re: Tusko) to correct the error.

Good eye, so to speak.

Can't get much more appealing than that.

Thanks!

I am an utter and complete failure.

So I went into the missile properties.... since you left it up to me to fix it.... and I can't find the potato association in "form" description.

Did you correct it already?  I wish I was one of those useful Geeks that could fix and make stuff.
