Should Go-Bots Warpath be mentioned on here? - Terrortron 01:45, 26 May 2011 (EDT)

Has he appeared in TF fiction? --Detour 01:52, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
No. I was thinking something more like a note, what with them both (all) being transforming robots named Warpath, as opposed to making a GB Warpath page. It does seem worth a mention, but Warpath (G1) seems to narrow a place for it. I believe he and Blaster are the only 80s TFs to share a name with a Go-Bot. - Terrortron 12:54, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
There was also a Go-Bot toy called Rumble, but it wasn't one of the normal figures more of a vehicle/playset. --Khajidha 12:59, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
There's also Chaos, but I didn't include him or Rumble, because at least one holder of the name is not a transforming robot. - Terrortron 13:08, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
Fudge, forgot Go-Bots Rumble had a robot mode. - Terrortron 13:10, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
This is a Transformers disambig. Unless he appears in TF fiction, I don't think anyone'll need him pointed out to avoid confusion. Just like how the X-Man/X-Forcer/whatever Warpath doesn't get a note, even though Marvel characters have been involved with Transformers, but not him. --Detour 14:33, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
Yeah, until these characters show up in TF media there is no need for them to be disambiguated. Unless the GoBots fictions are considered to be TF media. But we've gone over that numerous times and consensus is against it, so that's out. --Khajidha 14:43, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
Marvel Warpath isn't a transforming robot that presumably exists in the TF Multiverse, but I see your point. I saw it more as an opportunity to bring up an interesting naming overlap, rather than a way to avoid confusion, (not to mention useful for anyone working on official fiction linking GBs and TFs). How about mentioning Rumble, Warpath, Blaster and possibly Chaos on the GoBots (franchise) page? -- Terrortron 14:55, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
That I would support. I had thought that such a note was there, but it is actually on the Transformers names in other Hasbro lines page. I'm not sure why you keep bringing up Chaos as there was no TF named Chaos in the 1980s (and still isn't today). Non-TF/non-GoBot characters don't really count for these things. --Khajidha 15:01, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
Mostly so no one asks 'What about Chaos?'. There's the big freaky alien from the G1 toon episode of the same title. I agree with you that it should just be the three transforming mechanoids. -- Terrortron 15:29, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
