Moved discussion from Insecticon-like Titan Hunter
I really don't get the use of Bombshock for this article. I mean, I see the explanation in the notes, but I still don't understand the choice. If this character even needs an article, surely there's a better choice? I think even something like "Prime Insecticon-style Titan Hunter" would be better than the wiki slapping an actual name on this guy, even with the Nameless template there it just strikes me as wrong. --KilMichaelMcC 12:39, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

- I feel like if you have to disambig your made-up nickname for a dude, you're doing it wrong. - Chris McFeely 13:52, 25 July 2013 (EDT)
- "I this character even needs an article" is the bigger issue, I think. Cuz... I don't really think he does, unless he later does more than just show up in the background. --M Sipher 14:10, 25 July 2013 (EDT)
- I'm not that attached to the name; it's just something I threw in there to give the article a title. But if this guy only showing up in the background is a problem, then we'd have to delete dozens, if not hundreds of articles, including other Titan Hunters. Mimi 15:45, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

Guess which one doesn't have a page. Does this Insecticon-like dude do anything besides show up in the crowd in one panel? Does he have dialogue?
