Delete and fold back into protoform
Is there any purpose to keeping this on its own page? They have their own name, but in every conceptual way they are identical to protoforms as we currently understand them. They look like liquid metal, they're Cybertronians who have assumed a base form between taking alternate modes (which multiple continuities have explicitly established as still being protoform state). If Cosmic Rust and the Rust Plague are conceptually identical enough to be merged, so is this. TransFormersfan1 (talk) 16:35, 22 June 2021 (EDT)
- I agree. But if we're going to keep them separate, at least they should link to each other in their notes sections. --Fritz (talk) 20:11, 22 June 2021 (EDT)
- At first, I was going to say that Cosmic Rust and Rust Plague had similar enough names that they could easily be conflated while Protoform and Combatant don't... Until I saw the note about them never being named in the show and the term coming from a sourcebook, and in light of that I'm inclined to agree they should be merged. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:21, 22 June 2021 (EDT)
