Talk:Famine

Move to "Famine"

So, the case for this isn't totally airtight, but to explain: this official summary of the game's story refers to a Star Seeker named "Famine" who's the lead antagonist of the game's third dungeon. From this, we can note:

• "Starquest" looks sort of reminiscent of Scourge, with the big wings and everything, and the name "Famine" seems to form a parallel with Scourge's Mandarin name, which translates to "Plague".
• This contemporary reporting on the game specifically describes "Starquest" as a Star Seeker boss, and Grostuque, Iguanus and Famine are the only named Star Seekers that are directly encountered by the players in the story summary. "Starquest" clearly isn't Grotusque or Iguanus, but could well be Famine, specifically called out in the summary as an OC.
• This image from the game's website puts "Starquest" on a level with Optimus and Megatron. We know "Starquest" isn't just a weird alternate design for Thundertron or anything because there's also TFO art of Thundertron, but the game's final (as far as it was ever developed) Star Seeker boss could also have the street cred to be placed alongside faction leaders.

As I said, it's not a concrete case, but I think this is a more likely scenario than this being intended to be a guy named as direct translation of "Star Seeker", especially when the faction isn't even called that in Mandarin (they're "Thunderfury", and Thundertron is named "Skybreaker").

Fully in favour of us just making the connection and moving this guy to Famine. --Broadside (talk) 18:19, 8 August 2024 (EDT)

I'd be fine with it. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:21, 8 August 2024 (EDT)

Sure. --Sabrblade (talk) 18:54, 8 August 2024 (EDT)

Just make a note of the uncertainty and it’s peachy keen. Saix (talk) 21:20, 8 August 2024 (EDT)

I've done the rewriting. We just need to delete the existing Famine page that redirects to Terrorsaur (Armada) so that this page can take the namespace. TheLastGherkin (talk) 06:53, 14 August 2024 (EDT)
