Talk:Combatron (planet)

We don't have "Junkion (species)" and "Junkion (G1)", we have "Junkion (planet)."

Why is this planet being disambig'd with "Cybertron"? That kind of treatment makes sense for characters, but Planets routinely show up in multiple continuity families, and we don't normally break up their articles. -Derik 21:29, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

Interrobang, I'm aware that there are multiple articles using (Cybertron) as their parenthetical. However, are those articles regarding planets? --Rosicrucian^Talk 22:01, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

Well okay, I spot two of them now. However, those two are ones that have equivalency in other continuities. Of course as Derik states above, we likely ought to merge those into equivalent (planet) parentheticals to match the style of existing articles.--Rosicrucian^Talk 22:04, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

1. The only articles in this Wiki that use "(planet)" are Cybertron (planet), Junkion (planet), and Lithone (planet). Two of them are because there are more than one meaning for the words within the franchise.
2. Merging things that are obviously different concepts is a stupid idea. Cybertron (planet) can get away with it because it's just the same concept reused repeatedly. Jungle Planet (Energon) and "Jungle Planet (Cybertron)" are not the same thing.
3. Disambiguations are based on what franchise the thing appeared first in.

Disambiguations exist to disambiguate, not to convey useful information. That is what reading the article is for. I thought we went over this already? —Interrobang 22:23, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

And what's the most useful disambiguation? One that is the most different from other uses of the term. The other three uses of the term are all in references to groups of 'Cons, and this one's a planet. - SanityOrMadness 22:35, 5 June 2009 (EDT)

Gonna go with everyone saying the disambig should be "planet" (with the same being applied to "Master (Headmasters)"). - Chris McFeely 04:34, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

Combatron (planet) actually redirects to Combatron (Cybertron) at the moment, which doesn't make much sense in terms of consistency. -Mazenoise 04:38, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

Also, Hive (Headmasters) and Vehicon (RM) should probably be moved too. -Mazenoise 04:44, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

...Neither of the options are more "useful". The point of the entire thing is just so that different things can have their own articles. I thought we already went over this with Swarm (G2)? "Cybertron" is simply more consistent with everything else and that's why it's preferable. —Interrobang 18:04, 6 June 2009 (EDT)

I prefer "planet". --M Sipher 19:51, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

I may be totally missing something here, but I just finished rewatching Cybertron and Galaxy Force of the Unicorn Trilogy, and do not remember Combatron being mentioned at all in either. I'm not savvy with any of the supporting fiction, but if I'm confused, others may be, too. Can we expand on why this never-named-planet in the Cybertron series has a Cyber Planet Key associated with it? Or did I doze off during an episode somewhere?

Try reading the article. Escargon (talk) 19:56, 8 December 2017 (EST)

Yes, I saw the one-sentence blurb in the "Ask Vector Prime" section, thanks. My question was more to do with connection to the show (since that was the link that brought me here), with which there seems to be none, other than the gimmick. Got it now. Thanks for the help.
