While I'm certain that the T1 Antenna and Bug Sensor are interchangeable, and that both can be used with their respective games on a GameBoy Advance, I'm still not 100% on whether T2's Antenna is swappable with those two. Could anybody who has both Telefang 2 and T1/Bugsite see if the 2 Antenna works with those games, and vice versa? (also, is its physical shape compatible with a GameBoy/GameBoy Color?)

Dino Device[edit]

Not sure how this wasn't caught before, I only noticed while I was looking for Dino art but - the T2 antenna was advertised as being compatible with Dino Device! Apparently some of them were given out promotionally? (It doesn't appear to mention it's the same antenna that came with T2...) http://telefang.meowcorp.us/t2antennaad.jpg This needs to be added for sure, especially if somebody can test the T1 antenna on it as well.

The same antenna promotion is mentioned in this ad too: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/dinodevicead20029.jpg/
Some promotional toy balls were given out as well. I'm sure they should be mentioned on the wiki as well.KenjutheDenjuu 10:37, 9 February 2012 (MST)

Just tested it out, looks like all the blinky things work with Dino Device...XD As far as I can tell, it blinks when:

  • You get a message while walking around, blinks faster if it's an emergency (syncs up with the alarm/beep sound effects)
  • When scanning for enemies in battle, but only if you find something, and blinks faster if there's a dino/trap on the exact square you scanned
  • When someone drops down to attack, probably only if there's a dino in range, and blinks faster if it's a double attack or if it lands on a trap

That's all I could find, but I might have missed something...XD It looks like it only works within the normal game and not in any of the Dino Pad stuff or minigames. *nod* The different blinky speeds actually make for a better effect than in Telefang/Bugsite IMO... I wonder if they originally intended to make an attachment for the game, but ended up scrapping it? o_O Mysterious. ~ Kimbles 22:29, 10 February 2012 (MST)

That's possibly why they redistributed the Telefang 2 antenna for use in the Dino Device games, since it was specifically made for the gameboy advance and would work the same way. It is unusual that they didn't make a seperate antenna for Dino Device though. It would have been interesting to see what design they would have used.KenjutheDenjuu 04:22, 11 February 2012 (MST)
