Their statement that PCCs, Brimstone, Hubcap, Terradive, Tomahawk and Seaspray don't exist in the "move world" is interesting. Is it worth noting on their individual pages? Is Sea Spray now Seaspray or still his own character? —Interrobang 20:24, 1 December 2010 (EST)
- I vote Seaspray goes under G1 Seaspray at least. Hasbro has right out and said it is him and now they've right out and said it's NOT a movie verse character. Our policy has always been that they get final say on continuity so, yes, it belongs there. The others... well the ones that appeared in Movie fiction still go there, it becomes a type of repurposing, where the toy was subsumed by that continuity before it was eventually released in another (though we can't say for sure what they're released in except that it's not Movie). And yes I'd say that definately deserves a not on all their pages.--76.28.76.206 20:36, 1 December 2010 (EST)
- The thing is, Hasbro seems really hesitant to aknowledge separate continuities. At the same time, they're saying "They're not part of the movie universe, but they are". We really need to just stop listening to what Hasbro says in regards to continuities. --Detour 22:10, 1 December 2010 (EST)
- I thought the same, for Hasbro, Optimus Prime is Optimus Prime and Megatron is Megatron, they don't like to distinguish between continuties. You could argue that HftD Seaspray is the same guy as G1 Seaspray, but the only supporting fiction as of this momment is his card-back bio and his rival Crankstart appeared in a Titan magazine, so HtfD Seaspray is a Movie guy until the toy gets (eventually) repurposed. What baffles me is that his partner Breacher is made in such a classic aesthetic, I find it hard to considerate him as part of the Movie universe. But really, what Hasbro is talking about is that they can use the molds as much as they want without having to pay royalties to Paramount (and Michael Bay). I liked the answer about the Legends class toys, that made my day.-ACIDSTORM92 22:59, 1 December 2010 (EST)
- Come on, guys, that's completely unambiguous language. They aren't movie bots, Seaspray's the same dude, and he exists with these other guys, so by process of elimination they're all G1. Titan Magazines throws a monkey wrench into things, but Hasbro has the final say. At the very least, they should be noted as being G1 dudes that ended up in movie fiction accidentally.

Hold it!
[edit]I got to looking at the list of submitted questions for November 2010 and I don't see the questions that are on the November 2010 Answer page. Did I miss something? - Zadok Rox 21:37, 1 December 2010 (EST)
- I found the first one in the submitted questions for the previous round, if it helps. --abates 14:41, 2 December 2010 (EST)
