Talk:Sentinel Zeta Prime

I think the Exodus section of this article could do with some more expansion and possible a total rewrite, especially as it was originally written by an anonymous editor who doesn't know how to write an article. --FFN 14:59, 3 July 2010 (EDT)

Related characters?

Is there REALLY a good reason not to give the Bumper and Fastback of this universe their own articles? --M Sipher 16:12, 12 July 2010 (EDT)

I figured they pass the Koji's Mother test for "Related"-dom because they only exist for like one sentence, and interchangeably. SP says "You killed Bumper and Fastback after I sent them to spy on you!" and Megs is all "Did I? Oh well." A page for either or both of them would say they were sent to spy on Megatron and he killed them. Any link on any other character's page to to "Bumper [and/or] Fastback (Prime)" would pretty much have to have already said the exact same thing, since there is no other reason to mention them, and never will be. It would be a one-sentence, completely redundant page(s).

I don't have super-strong feelings in this particular case and could understand people wanting to split them off; I guess I'm just trying to prime the pump for what I see as the inevitable creation of either a lot of "Related"s or a big "Minor Character" page for Exodus. (I think we'll need a HUGE "Minor Characters" page for Almanac 2--what with all the no-art name-dropped types--but I digress).

However we sort them, I strongly think they should stay united, like Martin and Roland or Chak and Una, as they have no individual history, identity, or agency whatsoever. --Thylacine 2000 16:46, 12 July 2010 (EDT)

You should probably check that Chak and Una link. We also split Telus and Rotorbolt. —Interrobang 16:51, 12 July 2010 (EDT)

....huh, well, that shut me up. In general I think "Related Characters" are viable ways of presenting info that would otherwise be too slight and redundant to list separately, but if people really want Bumper and Fastback to be separated out, I wouldn't fight it. --Thylacine 2000 21:03, 12 July 2010 (EDT)

And let's be honest. There's always a chance we'll be splitting those two and having more to say about them in the future. --M Sipher 21:17, 12 July 2010 (EDT)
