I've got no problem with the formatting tweeks, I know I'm pretty relaxed about that when I first write up an entry, but I don't understand removing some of the info that was removed.

Why take out the BM Dinobots backstory from the cardbacks? It's as much a canon story for them (and it's not like they have many) and part of the history of the character as the 3H comics and it's not up on TFU. Seems it should definately be there to me. And why cut out the tech spec specifically saying he's likely a G1 Dinobot (Snarl)? It's a fairly important part of the character I'd say.

My instinct is to add that stuff back in, since it IS important. ZacWilliam 12:27, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I think saying that Striker is "likely" Snarl is an overstatement, but I have no problem with a note indicating that he has a couple of similarities powers-wise. After all my pet "T-Wrecks was supposed to be Grimlock" theory is mentioned on T-Wrecks' page (or was last time I saw it), and that's not substantially more strongly-supported than this.

Also, all of the BM Dinobots were Maximals. -LV 14:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

What I meant is that his bio says he's rumored to be one of the original Dinobots, and out of them Snarl seems the most likely suspect. Does the current mention of the rumor and seperate continuity note on the Snarl posibility seem to work? ZacWilliam 14:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh. I'd forgotten that. Yeah, that almost has to be a reference to Snarl's mysterious absence from the movie, doesn't it? Then the current note is probably fine. What does his MTMTE-style profile from...whichever comic it's in say about him? -LV 15:04, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think Striker has a MTMTE style profile. His profile that was on transformers.com states that he was rumored to be a lost Dinobot. I always kind of figured he was like Paddles from Legends, a totally new sixth Dinobot. Lightsyder 21:26, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Gold Plastic Syndrome?

After having a back panel socket joint break on my Striker last night, I did a bit of research into this figure's gold plastic. Apparently these sockets are a fairly common breakage point, alongside some of the gold connector pegs. I drafted the following paragraph based on these findings:

"Although Striker contains a large amount of gold plastic, he is surprisingly strong and is not particularly prone to random shattering some golden figures. His main points of breakage are the various connector pegs or the ball sockets for his Beast Mode back panels."

Does anyone have any other comments or should I go ahead and add it to the main article?--Megatronacepticon 19:28, 29 October 2013 (EDT)
