More info needed.
[edit]Simply put, where'd this info come from: "His inner robot transforms into an alce (in 15th Century European heraldry, the wingless male counterpart to the female winged griffin)."? I'm asking as when I try to look up the term "alce" it won't show anything about griffins, it shows stuff about a moose/elk, as shown here: https://www.google.com/search?q=alce&oq=alce&aqs=edge..69i57.799j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 . Also, when I check out the page that is linked to the word, which is shown here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin , it doesn't cover that. I mean it does say that male griffins are wingless, supposedly, but it doesn't call them an "alce". So I want to know, where'd that info get found? I guess this is a "citation needed" thing, but I'm not fully sure. Beetle Bug (talk) 13:27, 25 July 2021 (EDT)
- Apparently the "wingless griffin" form can be spelled either alce or alke and the Wikipedia link uses the latter. However, the sculpt is so rough and small I'm not certain this fits the description anyway. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 15:38, 25 July 2021 (EDT)
- Yeah, I kinda saw that too, but it's been like this for a few years now, and I just got an account for this just a few weeks/days ago or so, so I couldn't change it. Maybe one of us, or someone else, should look into that and update it. Beetle Bug (talk) 17:33, 25 July 2021 (EDT)
- Well, I just checked, and it is also called "a keythong", but that... just... well... it sounds wrong. So... yeah... no, just no. Beetle Bug (talk) 17:34, 25 July 2021 (EDT)
- I see you updated the thing with the toy, and I just wanted to say, which I say on behalf of all those who noticed this too, thanks. Beetle Bug (talk) 02:02, 26 July 2021 (EDT)
