Bisk's Blunder
[edit]Someone please include a "Gamer lingo" subsection in the Real World References. I can only understand about 70% of the Bisk segments. --Xaaron (talk) 10:50, 18 November 2016 (EST)
Overbite
[edit]He's pretty clearly meant to be Universe Overbite, not a new BW character, so that page has to be recreated. Saix (talk) 13:22, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- So the Universe toy Overbite appeared in Universe continuity, where AVP identified him as a version of G1 Overbite. This character will be a distinct, Predacon version of Overbite represented by a repurposing of the Universe toy. Is that all correct? --Xaaron (talk) 14:11, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- Eeh, let's not be up our ass here. The toy had no fiction or characterization till last year. It can represent both G1 Overbite and this Overbite and isn't really a repurpose. Saix (talk) 14:26, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- It would be like the Universe Micromasters. Or perhaps Ultra Mammoth in "Timeless". An ad hoc term I have for that is "doubling". S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 14:51, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- But the Universe toy WOULD be on the Predacon's page, right? Since that's the form this Overbite seemingly ended up in. As opposed to the IDW Goldbug fiasco from years back about putting the G1 Goldbug toy on that page. --Xaaron (talk) 15:15, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- Yes. Also, "Hammerstrike" now needs to be its own page. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:19, 18 November 2016 (EST)

I don't want to be That Guy, but until a separate G1 Overbite shows up, don't we usually consider this to be a version of the G1 character by default? --Riptide (talk) 18:26, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- Isn't Grimlock pretty much the only Builder who became a Maximal/Predacon? I would think if he were the G1 guy, they'd mention it since it's a big deal. Saix (talk) 18:29, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- No, I mean we assume "same guy but a Predacon all along", like IDW Rattrap was an Autobot all along. Et cetera. --Riptide (talk) 18:33, 18 November 2016 (EST)
- That'd be without precedent in Uprising so far, though, wouldn't it? They've been pretty clear about Builder, Micromaster, and Maximal/Predacon delineation. If anything, they would have the Predacon be Overbite and the original Seacon be Over Bite or Jawbreaker. --Xaaron (talk) 20:57, 18 November 2016 (EST)
