Talk:Vertebreak (Prime)
Scourge?
[edit]I think we may be artificially merging these guys. Scourge in the promo pamphlet had some retooling on him.--RosicrucianTalk 10:51, 16 February 2013 (EST)
Gydra?
[edit]The recently released pics for Gydra from the Transformers Go! line look to match that promotional magazine that announced Scourge. (1) Does it actually match because apparently my eyes are broken (re:Ultra Magnus), and (2) Since it's being released as "Gydra", would it still be kosher to include on Scourge's page or do we need some other kind of explicit "Yes, this is the Japanese name for him" type of thing?KrytenKoro 13:58, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
- The name isn't Gydra, it's Gaidōra. He has different heads to Scourge. Mimi 14:09, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
- Where exactly is that romanization from? I had only seen kana, and "dora" is usually romanized as "dra" to indicate a dragon.KrytenKoro 14:46, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
- Where did you see the kana? trafes20120505 has ガイドーラ (among other names that end with ドーラ). Yes, I know "dora" = "dra", which is why this entire thing confuses me. Mimi 14:53, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
- That kana, yeah. I guess I don't get why this would be confusing...if there's no official romanization, the most reasonable one to me seems to be "Gydra", since the name is similar to ハイドラ (Hydra).KrytenKoro 15:08, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
- But the "o" sound is long and not ignorable. Mimi 15:13, 23 April 2013 (EDT)

- Gydora, then?KrytenKoro 15:41, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
- The packaging looks like it will have English text, so I think it's better to wait and move accordingly. Mimi 15:52, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
- Judging from the pictures we have, Gaidora has a retooled robot head but not beast head; Scourge has (had?) a retooled beast head but not robot head. They're both retools of Lazerback, but not otherwise related. -LV 11:06, 30 April 2013 (EDT)
HE'S VERTEBREAK!
[edit]Haabro just posted his page from the Character guide to their Transformers Facebook Feed. He's been renamed Vertebreak. Sooo... Where is our description from Vertebreak from? Because its very different from this one, and this is the one Hasbro just posted for him... --ZacWilliam 16:34, 13 June 2013 (EDT)
- It certainly reads like a prose description of his tech spec numbers and little else. - Chris McFeely 17:34, 13 June 2013 (EDT)
- Clearly the case. Also this turn of events is pretty much the opposite of shocking. -LV 18:11, 13 June 2013 (EDT)
- I'm gonna go ahead and merge the two pages; please correct me if this is the wrong thing to do.KrytenKoro 18:54, 13 June 2013 (EDT)
