Talk:Team CRDL/@comment-1.129.97.71-20160203082629

I actually have a theory that I wanted to bounce off some people here in that team CRDL doesn't actually exist as a concept within the show anymore. That is that they have suffered the same fate that the decepticon Bonecrusher (the one that Optimus decapitated on the highway) in the sense that while the character models are still being used in the show, they are not actually Russel, Cardin, Dove or Sky anymore, rather they are just meant to be random characters that are being used to hype the main characters. For example, the actual decepticon Bonecrusher died fighting Optimus, but in Revenge of the Fallen his character model was used for another nameless decepticon that was fighting Ironhide in the desert. How this relates to CRDL is quite simple. First aside from the first volume none of the team members names or their team name has been spoken of by another character, indeed even in the tournament matches both Port and Oobleck have made a point of mentioning the names of every team either at the start or end of the matches yet neither the team's name or its members names were mentioned. Second, despite their so called status as one of the main teams they have no speaking lines (aside fron Cardin).This suggests that they are not meant to be taken as serious characters, but rather as extras. Third, their weapon designs are very basic and not very outstanding seeming to represent actual medieval weaponry with different colour schemes, this may have been done so as to make them easier to animate for whatever little scenes they may need them in. Anyway just wanted to know if anyone else feels the theory might be valid.
