Should we even be having individual pages for Animorphs? I would vote no, and that they should all be covered on a single Animorphs page.

If we do end up keeping pages like this though, I strongly feel that they do NOT belong in the "Humans" category. That should be a category for Human characters who exist in the Transformers universe(s), which Animorphs characters don't --KilMichaelMcC 04:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I strongly disagree on all counts. As you probably could have guessed. --Andrusi 04:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
In the one hand, I agree with Kil. On the other hand- the Mutants were retooled Animorphs toys, so they are (technically) 'fair game' for redecoing... yeah, individual human pages make sense. -Derik 05:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't really see what the origins of the Mutants toys has to do with anything. As much I really do think that all Animorphs business oughta to be covered in a single article, I feel even stronger that Animorphs characters should not be treated as being on equal footing with characters who actually exist in the Transformers multiverse. If we keep these individual articles for each Animorph, then "Animorphs," as a sub-category of "Toys," should be the only category they are listed in. --KilMichaelMcC 05:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
This sounds a lot like redefining what the "Humans" category means for no reason other than to exclude the Animorphs humans from it. --Andrusi 05:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I... don't follow. At all.
The "Humans" category, as far as I can see, means "Human characters who exist within the Transformers multiverse." Animorphs characters do not exist within the Transformers multiverse. Excluding them does not redefine the category one bit. --KilMichaelMcC 06:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


I see no reason whatsoever to even HAVE individual Animorphs entries. Just one page covering the line as a brief "brand name experiment", list the toys, move on. --M Sipher 06:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

They're Transformers toys, so I think they should get pages. I would be against putting anything from the stories on their pages, though. Only the toys are Transformers. The fiction ain't. --ItsWalky 06:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I think having individual pages for the Animorphs figures is a waste of time and effort. What are you going to say about the characters that isn't from the books? The line received no exclusive characters. It's not as if they have any single bearing on the rest of the Transformers mythos, and only the very slightest influence on the toyline. Just gather them into a single line page with a summary and call it a day.
