Talk:Cataclysm (BW)

The whole OMega Point thing is confusing to me... I know pretyt much what happened, but in what parts of the fiction the happened in, outside of the final comic, I don't know. Someone better-versed in this shit might want to separate the bits for me. --M Sipher 23:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

The chapters were somewhat interwoven-b ut Cataclysm lacks clear devisions. We get parts of him in chapter 3 fromt he Cub, part sin Chapter 3 briefly before Windrazor attacks him, and a lot mor ein Herald, which is all flashbacks.

Gah, wiki... need... work... but... so sleepy! (I had a 12 hour school day.) -Derik 02:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Unicron

Okay, I admit I'm just as confused as all the anons. How can Cataclysm be a Herald of Shokaract, which has a Unicronian symbol on its page, but not be Unicron affiliated? Maybe if the reasoning is spelled out people won't keep trying to add the symbol to this page? Khajidha 12:35, 14 February 2010 (EST)

In the original BotCon story, the Heralds of Shokaract have no connection to Unicron. In that continuity, Cataclysm is a Herald. In the IDW BW story, the Heralds of Shokaract in fact work for Unicron. In that continuity, Cataclysm does not exist. Geewunling 12:41, 14 February 2010 (EST)

That makes sense. Now maybe the problem will end. Khajidha 12:42, 14 February 2010 (EST)

Maybe someone could add one of those does-not-show-up-notes explaining this on the page? Khajidha 12:54, 14 February 2010 (EST)

It's pretty pointless to put here, because he has absolutely nothing to do with Unicron in all of his TF existence. The only place a note would make sense is on the HoS page, and that one pretty much has it already covered, by noting which Heralds appear in which fiction. Geewunling 13:09, 14 February 2010 (EST)

But some of the anons are apparently not going to that page (or possibly are ignoring it). Maybe something simple, like changing the phrase in the intro from "Herald of Shokaract" to "Herald of Shokaract (not Unicron)". Or if that seems awkward, one of those hidden comments just above or below the allegiance symbol line, outright stating "Cataclysm is a herald of Shokaract, NOT Unicron. DO NOT ADD A UNICRON ALLEGIANCE SYMBOL."--Apcog 14:08, 14 February 2010 (EST)

I suppose a hidden note will do mighty fine. Geewunling 14:12, 14 February 2010 (EST)

That's ... exactly what I was suggesting. Khajidha 14:21, 14 February 2010 (EST)

Oops, read over the "does-not-show-up" part of your comment. Sorry. But go ahead and add a hidden note. Geewunling 14:35, 14 February 2010 (EST)

That's okay, I half expected not to be understood as I didn't know the proper wiki-terminology. I'm going to add Apcog's note, if the wording needs tweaking feel free to change it. Khajidha 08:50, 15 February 2010 (EST)
