He's not a guest, as the comments define that as "one appearance only". "Recurring" is a bit unhelpful as a header, and is in contradiction to how all the others are ordered, especially since most of the Decepticons don't have that many more appearances than him. What we know of the character is that
#He's considered a Decepticon
#He's from Cybertron, or at least, he's not Earth-based like the main cast
#He's considered a "Bounty Hunter" (which is treated as a group, if not a cohesive one)
#He's a secondary cast member

Since he's already categorized as a Decepticon, it's logical to define him by one of these or the other. In the next few episodes, we're going to get a good bit more Cybertronians without any other sub-group (like Ironhide), so it could make sense to categorize it as that. Or, since our "Main Cast" isn't really a sub-group either, we could have a "Secondary Cast" section. Or "Bounty Hunter", since that's a sub-group he's been put into (and it would definitely be a faction, not a personality quirk - Prowl is to Ninja as Lockdown is to Frankenstein's monster, not bounty hunter. It's his job, not his character). Since you don't seem to like "Cybertronian Decepticon" (though I think we'll have to add it soon for Autobots as well), or "Bounty Hunter", would you at least agree on "Secondary Cast"?[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 01:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

::::For the purpose of a source, I'm more in favour of approaching it from a fiction point of view, rather then the gameplay view the DMC wiki has. For instance, fictionally, Dante hardly ever transforms and when he does he's arguably stronger then Sparda. But the DTs and such just refer to the gameplay elements. Also, needs a timeline artcile, tracing the continuity from pre games, through the manga, the four games and the anime, in order of continuity of course. It's really just a personal preference in the end of the day [[User:GWolfv2]]
:::::Okay, I'll work on a timeline article. I'm not sure what you're talking about with the first one, though, since the claim from DMC4 that Dante is stronger has been included on both Dante and Sparda's page.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 17:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

#He's considered a "Bounty Hunter" (which is treated as a group, if not a cohesive one)
#He's a secondary cast member

Since he's already categorized as a Decepticon, it's logical to define him by one of these or the other. In the next few episodes, we're going to get a good bit more Cybertronians without any other sub-group (like Ironhide), so it could make sense to categorize it as that. Or, since our "Main Cast" isn't really a sub-group either, we could have a "Secondary Cast" section. Or "Bounty Hunter", since that's a sub-group he's been put into (and it would definitely be a faction, not a personality quirk - Prowl is to Ninja as Lockdown is to Frankenstein's monster, not bounty hunter. It's his job, not his character). Since you don't seem to like "Cybertronian Decepticon" (though I think we'll have to add it soon for Autobots as well), or "Bounty Hunter", would you at least agree on "Secondary Cast"?[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 01:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
