BB & ROTB Wheeljack
[edit]Shouldn't this Wheeljack and the one seen in Bumblebee be considered the same guy? Considering ROTB is a sequel to Bumblebee, and the one seen in Bumblebee is nothing like the one from Dark of the Moon and there's actually nothing supporting that the one in BB and DOTM are the same but not ROTB. I tried editing it but the admins just undid it without reason, would really like to know what the mindset is here? Because ROTB and BB are in the same continuity and don't really contradict each other, while DOTM contradicts both a lot, so I don't understand why BB is considered the same as DOTM and not ROTB. If you're gonna undo my edits, at least give a reason as I had. Jman98 (talk) 13:06, 30 June 2023 (EDT)
- The big quote we're referring to (in the references section) clearly indicates a clean break between this Wheeljack and all prior incarnations, including the one who shows up in Bumblebee. The continuity discussion isn't relevant here. Saix (talk) 15:01, 30 June 2023 (EDT)
- But that quote doesn't mention Bumblebee though? It states it's not Dark of the Moon Wheeljack, but makes no mention of Bumblebee. If anything the quote supports Bumblebee and Rise of the Beasts Wheeljack being the same guy, especially with Rise of the Beasts being a sequel to Bumblebee. Do you have a source that actually mentions him being distinct from the Wheeljack in Bumblebee? Jman98 (talk) 16:05, 20 July 2023 (EDT)
- The quote is a paragraph about creating a new character for ROTB. Pay attention to the context and meaning even if it doesn't explicitly mention BB. Saix (talk) 01:34, 28 July 2023 (EDT)
- I feel like they still only meant Quejack, since they specifically asked about DOTM. They never said anything that could even apply to BB since he never got any characterization in that movie. Liliesrobots (talk) 11:09, 23 Feb 2024
- You're doing the "be absurdly literal about the exact question asked" thing. If Caple is blathering on about effectively creating a new character for ROTB, why would he do that if it were just an extension of BB Wheeljack? If he had BB Wheeljack in mind at any moment when creating ROTB Wheeljack, wouldn't you think he'd mention him in the first place? Saix (talk) 13:01, 23 February 2024 (EST)
- Even so, a reimagining usually doesn't justify a new page. There's never been a split between Bay and BB/ROTB pages even when they are pretty substantially different. Reimagining doesn't create new pages within other continuities either. If it were up to me I'd either put them on the same page or make it a sub page.

Pablo semi canonized?
[edit]The pulse stream folks used the Pablo name for the first time. I dunno if that means Pablo is canon now.Poliwag06 (talk) 04:42, 15 November 2023 (EST)
Pablo fix?
