			I have unmerged this. The fact that Vector Prime was Autobot in one reality does not preclude Autobot being a separate character in another. --[[User:Abates\|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates\|talk]]) 06:05, 8 January 2016 (EST)

			And we all know that cross-sell ads are 100% reliable. ;-)

			For many years, [[You_Have_Been_Chosen.\|the only source i had]] told me that my [[Camshaft (G1)\|silver-gray G1 Omnibot]] toy was named [[Overdrive]], and in at least one of Armada's pack-in comics/toy catalogs, the Mini-Cons [[Downshift (Armada)\|Dirt Boss]] and [[Dirt Boss (Armada)\|Downshift]] had their names reversed. (i'm pretty sure i've seen an erroneous G2 cross-sell, too--other than this one--but i can't find or remember it just now.)

			i think the name Watch makes a LOT more sense for this character--it's his alternate mode AND a military term (as in, "You take the first watch" meaning "You take the first shift on guard duty"), whereas it's totally impractical and unlikely to have someone with the [[Predacon (Armada)\|same name]] as a [[Optimus (faction)\|faction]] or [[Dinobot (BW)\|subgroup]]. ;-)
