Talk:Goldbug (G1)

Goldbug is already discussed on Bumblebee's page. They're the same guy. No reason to split him up. --ItsWalky 14:39, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Hmm...but their personalities are significantly different. How should we handle this on the same page? 2 bio sections?--Autobus Prime 14:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

They are not significantly different. Being at different ends of a character arc does not a different character make. One is Bumblebee young, the other is Bumblebee older. And there are at least two Bumblebee toys that are just Goldbug's personality, post-maturation. --ItsWalky 14:43, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, he lost the need for approval, though, which is a big part of Bee's bio. There should probably be some mention of that. --Autobus Prime 14:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Big part of which bio? Bumblebee's Action Master bio claims he's not insecure anymore. Bumblebee's on a character arc. You don't need to explain the whole character arc in a summary profile. Just set him up for it. Every dang link for Goldbug on this Wiki links to Bumblebee, and for good reason. --ItsWalky 14:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I just figured it was like a Hot Rod - Rodimus thing on a smaller scale, and worth some mention. Not really a big deal in any case...I did add some bio stuff for demonstration purposes...tried to keep it generic. I'm not absolutely sure the change was the same in the cartoon, though...the toon wasn't always strong on characterization.
