Do we have a category for name changes like this? Jawbreaker, Professor Spark, Cambo, etc? (If not I want one.) Characters that have multiple names that are NOT their international names? Should there be an AKA template?
Should there be a separate category for external-vs-internal renames? (Characters mysteriously renamed something in a fiction, vs. characters that change their names) Where does Silverstreak fall? -Derik 17:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

G1 Piranacon gift set issues
[edit]Was there never a full six Seacon giftset? I am aware of the 5 version removing Nautilator (who was dropped in the Italian version btw?) but did the west never get a 6-figure one like Japan? Overbite's different colour scheme as compared to the limbs (Seawing/Nautilator & Skalor/Tentakil) shows that he was always meant for non-limby rifle-ness!
