I thought there should be some record on the wiki (I can't find any) of why the Iocus characters are being changed to G1 or whatever. I understand the clutter of dozens of pages with little-to-no real info outside of the toy. However, I have a hard time wrapping my head around a character from one continuity family being listed on another continuity family's page. Construct-Bots Ironhide is from Iocus, not Primax. How does it work having that toy on G1 Ironhide's page? --07:53, 26 July 2015 (EDT)
