==Abdül Fakkadi and the Ottomans==
I think the article should expand upon what makes the mirrorverse Fakkadi and his country different. Aside from being a pacifist instead of a craving mad dictator, he's also an Ottoman, which raises the high possibility that he's NOT an Arab in this universe but a Turk! Also, the real Ottoman Empire was overthrown in 1923 (after WWI), but they still exist in Shattered Glass. The article not only fails to mention this last bit, but the statement "his people are referred to as the "Ottomans"" makes it seem like the Ottomans are made up =/ perhaps a link to [[Wikipedia:Ottoman Empire|Wikipedia's article on the Ottoman Empire]] would be useful -- [[User:Ziyad|Ziyad]] 18:03, 14 August 2009 (EDT)
:Abdul Fakkadi was always more based on [[wikipedia:Muammar al-Gaddafi|Muammar al-Gaddafi]] than anyone, which makes him Libyan, not Arab. Libya ''was'' part of the Ottoman Empire.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 18:12, 14 August 2009 (EDT)
::Libya ''is'' an Arab country, though. So, ''any'' Libyan is also considered an Arab, includding [[Wikipedia:Muammar al-Gaddafi|Gaddafi]], and, in respect, [[Abdul Fakkadi|Fakkadi]]. That said, Libya was indeed conquered by the Ottomans, who assign leaders of their own to the territories they capture, so Libya at that point was run by the Turks, before being taken by the Italians, then finally handed over to the Arabs. Hence, it's safe to assume that [[Abdul Fakkadi]] is Arab in the conventional-verse (with all the stereotypicality of [[Carbombya]], it's hard to deny that), and possible to conclude he's Turkish in the mirrorverse, because he is ruling an Ottoman territory. -- [[User:Ziyad|Ziyad]] 19:53, 14 August 2009 (EDT)


:I'd be happy to expand, except that everything that's in the article is pretty much all the info on them that was in the story itself. And outside information can't be assumed as necessarily true in TF, and that goes double for anything Shattered Glass-related, where everything's ''totally'' messed up. I mean, in the SG universe, the British want to invade the US, and the Statue of Liberty has a sword, and that's just for starters. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 23:39, 14 August 2009 (EDT)
::So, history could be ALL messed up in SG, huh... I never thought of it that way. And now that I do, it makes sense not to assume anything. But I still believe it should be mentioned in the '''Real-World References ''' that the Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1923, and that Fakkadi ruling an Ottoman territory could be a based on the fact that Libya was once a part of the Ottoman Empire. -- [[User:Ziyad|Ziyad]] 09:44, 15 August 2009 (EDT)

==Images and Stuff==
Hey where to get this comic? I can't find it at any book store. Also this page needs more images.([[User:Dr L|Dr L]] 13:18, 14 September 2009 (EDT))
:There aren't any images because it's a ''prose story'', and you can't buy it at a bookstore because it's only available in PDF format from the Official Transformers Collector's Club. All things indicated on the article itself. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 13:24, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
::Well... technically speaking, there ''are'' some images... it's just that the artist has such a stylized, uh, style that they don't make for useful informational images for the most part. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 17:55, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
