[edit]Why? - Jackpot 21:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- there's an unnamed Decepticon medic in Devil's Due Joe vs. TF too. -Derik 21:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Can we merge them? Or since they are no-names, can we come up with different nicknames, like "Silver Decepticon medic" and "Neon Decepticon medic"? - Starfield 00:27, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
- Dunno about a merge, but different nicknames seems like a good idea (Jim said a year later.) --Jimsorenson 17:04, 16 February 2010 (EST)
