Cosmos

[edit]

Versions of Cosmos have appeared in other continuity families, including:

For further information, see: Cosmos (disambiguation)
Cosmos is kind of the perfect example for how I think this should work: a single row of images reflecting all of the character's major media appearances and new toys. Nothing is left out (apart from Angry Birds Chuck, which nobody's yet thought to add to his disambiguation page anyway!). A list like this at the very bottom of the page (after References) would act as a quick navigational aid that charts the character's evolution in the brand in a less wiki-centric silo'd way.

Bumblebee

Versions of Bumblebee have appeared in other continuity families, including:

For further information, see: Bumblebee (disambiguation)
Bumblebee, Megatron, Optimus Prime and Starscream reflect an "upper bound" for how unwieldy this navigational aid might get. Some of the characters listed on Bumblebee's disambiguation page seem kind of spurious to throw on this navigation template? Is Angry Birds Chuck really another incarnation of Bumblebee, or just a character cosplaying as him? Similarly, is Arms Micron Bumblebee Sword another version of him, or just a Mini-Con who looks like him? My rule is basically: "two of three of name, appearance, and personality must be the same", along the lines of how the G.I. Joe wiki is doing it. I've also put Shattered Glass Animated Bumblebee as a subheader under the regular Animated Bumblebee, but this logic could extend to all Shattered Glass appearances, just lumping them in with the G1 versions for the sake of not having a "one of these is not like the others" entry. Technically, Knights of Unicron is its own continuity family, but I've lumped it under Aligned for convenience...?

Override

[edit]

Versions of Override have appeared in other continuity families, including:

For further information, see: Override (disambiguation)
Here, the obvious problem is that half of Override's appearances don't have visual depictions: Prime Override is a notable enough character, but from a prose-only work, while Transformers One Override was a name-only cameo. Both of these situations for little stub pages will be fairly commonplace across the whole brand.

Bonecrusher

[edit]

Versions of Bonecrusher have appeared in other continuity families, including:

For further information, see: Bonecrusher (disambiguation)
Bonecrusher is a good example of a character whose disambiguation has conceptually distinct characters (the Beast Wars bull, the Armada Mini-Con, the movieverse Decepticon) preventing it from being a suitable navigation for just versions of the G1 character. Bonecrusher (Micromaster) is an odd edge case which I think common sense would say to omit...?

Should Beast Wars II Starscream be here? I feel like it would be unhelpful to omit him?

Skywarp

Do we label Skywasp's continuity? Timelines isn't a continuity family.

Megatron

[edit]

Versions of Megatron have appeared in other continuity families, including:

For further information, see: Megatron (disambiguation)
Should Tiny Titans Megatron get a link here? I mean, to me that just seems like an error: appearance and (presumed) characterisation are unrelated. What about Megastorm?

Optimus Prime

[edit]

See also

[edit]

Versions of Optimus Prime have appeared in other continuity families, including:

Whether or not Optimus Primal belongs on here is a really contentious one. Probably not. The Rise of the Beasts character, definitely not, that's like, some simulacrum/simulacra crap. What about all the other Prime-based Beast Era guys? They're kind of no different from Fire Convoy, in terms of the creative intent.
