Do we have a category for name changes like this? Jawbreaker, Professor Spark, Cambo, etc? (If not I want one.) Characters that have multiple names that are NOT their international names? Should there be an AKA template?

Should there be a separate category for external-vs-internal renames? (Characters mysteriously renamed something in a fiction, vs. characters that change their names) Where does Silverstreak fall? -Derik 17:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I think we'd have to figure out some strict guidelines, so we don't end up putting every Mini-Con in that category who was accidentally called Leader-1. --ItsWalky 17:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I think it'd have to be systematic, like the Jawbreaker thing.
And oh-damnit, did I put this in the main article, nto the talk section? -Derik 17:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Overbite/Jawbreaker

According to this letters page, Overbite was sold as Overbite in toy stores in the UK.

UK 164

Hmmmm..... interesting. My memory clearly has Jawbreaker on a card, but I may be getting mixed up with his Tech Specs bio which was published in one of the annuals with his box-art. Nevertheless, he WAS Jawbreaker in UK G1, and this bio only implies that fact, without explicitly stating it. I will edit it accordingly.

G1 Piranacon gift set issues

Was there never a full six Seacon giftset? I am aware of the 5 version removing Nautilator (who was dropped in the Italian version btw?) but did the west never get a 6-figure one like Japan? Overbite's different colour scheme as compared to the limbs (Seawing/Nautilator & Skalor/Tentakil) shows that he was always meant for non-limby rifle-ness!
