Merge with Blue Bolts (RID)?

Personally, I'm not quite sure if they should be merged due to them only sharing a name and title of weaponizer, and they were seemingly developed separately from each other. I kinda want to wait and see first if TT confirms they're the same.Poliwag06 (talk) 22:47, 12 March 2024 (EDT)

The merge template is referring to this thread from Bird Bluebolt creator Hayato Sakamoto. Nobody move until we have that written up. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 22:54, 12 March 2024 (EDT)

Ok.Poliwag06 (talk) 22:56, 12 March 2024 (EDT)

I'm fine with the merge. Sakamoto makes clear that he conceptualized the two things as the same entity and Yuki followed through. Simplifies things. Only thing I don't like is "Blue Bolts" being the ugliest spelling. Saix (talk) 01:01, 13 March 2024 (EDT)

The idea would be to only use "Blue Bolts" in the cartoon section covering the English dub and its related US media, and then use the CRnote to justify using "Bluebolt" for all of the JG1 sections. --Sabrblade (talk) 01:22, 13 March 2024 (EDT)

...maybe we just pull a Roller/UW or Smokescreen/BT on them?Poliwag06 (talk) 02:21, 13 March 2024 (EDT)

I'm up for the merge, but we need to settle the issue of pronouns. Given that I believe one of the Hasbro lads used "he" for the Haslab toy, Sakamoto has liked a grand total of One posts that uses "she" on twitter, and the comic itself doesn't use gendered pronouns, I'm skeptical of committing at this time. Can we include a trivia note and just put it down to "them" for safety or do people feel more confident with something else?Star Spangled Sam (talk) 08:15, 13 March 2024 (EDT)

I'm fine with just rewriting the relevant fiction sections such that it doesn't use pronouns, if possible. Locoman (talk) 08:28, 13 March 2024 (EDT)

A finalized-ish mock-up of a combined page (with neutral pronouns) can now be found here, courtey of McBaggins, Saix and myself. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 16:47, 13 March 2024 (EDT)
