Talk:Stormtrooper (Cybertronian)

What is this? "Stormtroopers" is not a proper noun in this instance. It's not a subgroup. It's a description. The narration in the comic goes as such:

TO THEIR CREDIT, MINDSET'S STORMTROOPERS -- IN THEIR COMBINED AIRBORNE THUNDERJET MODES -- DO ENOUGH DAMAGE... TO GIVE THE SWARM MOMENTARY PAUSE.{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:|{{{2}}}{{#if:|, {{{3}}}|}}|}}

If "stormtroopers" was meant to be a subgroup or proper noun, it would have been bolded like "Thunderjet" and "Swarm" were. ("Mindset" isn't bolded here because this wasn't the first mention of his name in this story.) --ItsWalky 09:41, 5 February 2010 (EST)

I thought about the use of "stormtroopers", but I didn't think the term is entirely a generic military term. Maybe it is. I also thought about putting the article at "Mindset's stormtroopers" but with other articles on stormtroopers I thought this title with a disambiguation was more appropriate. What are you thinking, it should be deleted? I liked the Cybertronain combiners and thought this would be a good place for them. Maybe a section of Cybertronian (faction) would be better. - Starfield 10:08, 5 February 2010 (EST)

"but I didn't think the term is entirely a generic military term. Maybe it is."

It completley is. --M Sipher 18:11, 5 February 2010 (EST)

This doesn't ever seem to have been settled, but to me the quote above makes it seem pretty clear that "Thunderjets" is the most appropriate subgroup name for these guys. -LV 15:47, 10 December 2010 (EST)
