Talk:Seacon (Masterforce)

Different characters?

What makes these characters different enough from their Hasbro counterparts to get separate articles? --Flicky1991 10:42, 10 January 2013 (EST)

From the page itself: "The Seacons (シーコンズ Shīkonzu), save for their leader, Turtler, are a horde of mindless robotic drones." The Hasbro Seacons are distinct individuals. --Khajidha 18:35, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry. I noticed soon after posting, but then we couldn't edit at all... --Flicky1991 07:01, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Should they really be different characters?

Notwithstanding the prior discussion, wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to merge the Seacon pages? I get that the Masterforce Seacons have different names and are largely a force of drones, but other characters (like Overlord) are wildly different but still united in one page. This seems especially absurd considering the new Generations Select toys that are being released. Those toys are only listed on their Japanese character pages because they’re released under those names, and it seems silly to have to call any use of those designs as the American G1 Seacons a repurposing when the original toys were identical to each other. The Seacons’ roles in Western fiction have also been very limited, and the Masterforce Seacons don’t seem to have a huge amount of fictional significance either, so it doesn’t seem like it would make the pages unwieldy.
