Talk:Wolfang (Predacon)

Why was this all changed to "Boldfang?" Can we assume this is an attempt at Romanization? --EricMarrs 23:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

It's just the first thing it was called, and thus that romanization of the name was reported everywhere. Yet from what I hear, the actual Japanese name doesn't even have a D sound in it. --ItsWalky 23:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't. It starts with the b/v, there is no d. "Wolfang-pronounced-Volfang". --M Sipher 02:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Do you think he may have been named after Volfogg? Evan1975 19:17, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Since GaoGaiGar was 1997, and Beast Wars was 1996, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and saw Takara named it's Howlinger redeco after Howlinger's Americann name and mold-mate. -Derik 18:12, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

No tech-spec?

Seriously, did this guy get no tech-spec or bio information in Japan? (And if he didn't, can we note that in his toy section and de-stub this article?) -Derik 03:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

No, there's certainly some Japanese text on his card. I just can't read it. Chip 05:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

You've got it? Scan it! We'll make somebody translate the sucker! -Derik 05:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Question

"...as the germanic Volfang". Is the author referring to "Wolfgang" as in Mozarts first name? Volfang is not a word, nor a name in German. It is pronounced "Folfang" just like in VolksWagen (The Wagon of the Folk). Wolfang=Folfgang or what? I do not get the logic.

The Japanese original name starts with a b/v sound, indicating that it should be pronounced "Volfang" in English. The English spelling is "Wolfang" with the w pronounced in the German manner. --Khajidha 19:18, 27 May 2010 (EDT) Please note that I moved your comment to a new section for clarity, not out of any malice.

Disambiguation

The disambiguation tag Wolfang (Predacon) doesn't make much sense if he's also a Maximal. Wolfang (Diorama)? Wolfang (BWDS)? --Giggidy (talk) 19:13, 7 September 2016 (EDT)

He's a Predacon who, in one universe, disguises himself as a Maximal. Please do not make this more complicated than it needs to be. --Riptide (talk) 19:35, 7 September 2016 (EDT)

He's a Predacon who is also a Maximal and renounces his Predacon heritage. Opposing the merge because they're theoretically not always the same guy is one thing, but it's really stupid to have a guy disambiguated by a faction when he's both. --Giggidy (talk) 19:39, 7 September 2016 (EDT)
