Talk:Inferno (Energon)

I'm not positive that Inferno ever went by Roadblock on the Energon cartoon, although my memories are sketchy. I know one of the Nekomimis introduced Inferno and Roadblock together as "the Infernos" in the virtual fighting game... --Monzo 06:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I seem to recall that Inferno did go by Roadblock after he got his new body, and had a "call me Roadblock now"-type exchange with Kicker when he first showed up in it, but my memory's sketchy on that as well. --KilMichaelMcC 07:12, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, he showed up in the new body, and he said to call him Roadblock now. --ItsWalky 15:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

However, the Roadblock toy bio has him as a new character. Dunno about the DW comics though. Should we have a Roadblock (Energon) page as well? --FortMax 19:41, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd say that's not needed, just have note it on this page somehow that the bio for Roadblock seems to make him a different character. --KilMichaelMcC 20:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

"Seems to"? It says he's a reknowned architect, responsible for building all the cities in the cartoon that Inferno didn't build.  :) Hell, I think he deserves his own page. --ItsWalky 07:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Roadblock

Okay, the "Inferno V: Volt" Japanese release has been on this page for a long time and now Starfield has added a repurposed toys listing for the Western release Roadblock. In some sense both are true but neither really expresses the strangeness at work here. Also, having both looks rather strange. The Roadblock page actually covers it better in its toy listing. Can we get some sort of decision here? --Khajidha 09:25, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

.... "This toy was repurposed from Roadblock"? ... why? Why would ... headache... --ItsWalky 10:42, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

Personally I would collapse the two listings to one using the name Roadblock. A note similar to that on Roadblock's page would be in order ("This toy also represents the unrelated character Roadblock, and was sold as such in Western markets."). --Khajidha 11:00, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

Just to explain what I did, he was in the "Repurposed toys" category, so I made a listing for his repurposed toy, just like other repurposed toys. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I think it makes a certain amount of sense.

Who was the Roadblock guy in the Energon cartoon? Was he the "Inferno V: Volt" Japanese toy? Unlikely. I think the Energon Roadblock (Inferno) guy was repurposed from Energon Roadblock, who was released as a different character. - Starfield 18:27, 9 June 2010 (EDT)
