Talk:Wideload (G1)

So, yeah, I forgot the (G1) in the article's title. Duh. I've tried to move it to Wideload (G1), but it doesn't seem to be working? --KilMichaelMcC 16:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Is the Name of the epesode changed from "Approach of the Demon Meteorite" to "Approach of the Evil Meteor" in the UK DVDs? X-BoB58 01:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Wideload v Wide Load

Siph, I beg your pardon? http://cgi.ebay.com/TRANSFORMERS-THROTTLEBOT-WIDE-LOAD-1986_W0QQitemZ6056559112QQcategoryZ4696QQcmdZViewItem --ItsWalky 03:52, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Since that link is eight years old, why is this article at "Wide Load" instead of "Wideload (G1)" again? Original toy is "Wideload", Euro Classic toy is "Wideload"... where does the spelling in two words come from and why does it overrule the toy packaging? If anything, the article should point out the reasons for the parsing discrepancy in the notes.--Nevermore (talk) 17:32, 15 October 2014 (EDT)

Okay, apparently "Wide Load" was the Marvel spelling. The Ark follows the toy spelling, so how exactly do we weigh this?--Nevermore (talk) 17:39, 15 October 2014 (EDT)

Wasn't there a picture for this article before? Or am I just going crazy? - Dark T Zeratul 11:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Uprising

I believe the Uprising Fiction text and Classics Toy should still be hosted on this page. Uprising Wideload is undeniably the same character as the Throttlebot. He just went through a series of events that changed his body and faction. His body may look like a different Wideload from another continuity, but so did IDW Starscream starting in Dark Cybertron -- we didn't move his fiction to Starscream (Armada) at that point, and his Armada-based body is still on the Starscream (G1)/Toys page. --Xaaron (talk) 23:15, 30 December 2016 (EST)

Oh, yes, definitely. I think Deluge is a different case than this, since he's actually portrayed as the scientist Decepticon Deluge is. Escargon (talk) 23:18, 30 December 2016 (EST)

But in the present timeframe when we actually see him, Uprising Wideload is in the micro-scale body and Constructicon colors. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 23:31, 30 December 2016 (EST)

It's still HIM, though. Since when does a new body and faction change necessitate moving pages? --Xaaron (talk) 23:38, 30 December 2016 (EST)

Well, so are Quickmix and Hightower, but their stuff is on the G1/RID pages. Escargon (talk) 23:32, 30 December 2016 (EST)

Right. I think policy of "earliest form we can fit on a Primax page" makes the most consistent sense. The Wolfang stuff is on the Predacon page, for example. Saix (talk) 04:27, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Earliest by character's internal chronology, you mean? Not earliest existing page? Giggidy (talk) 07:29, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Internal chronology, yes. Saix (talk) 08:57, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Main image

I found out that way back in the day, Dreamwave commissioned Mike "VulnePro" Majestic to draw Wideload, though his piece was ultimately not used in the final profile. If Majestic did submit this artwork during Dreamave's tenure of the license, then can we justify using it as we do with the unpublished Dreamwave image for G1 Blades? I think it looks absolutely gorgeous especially compared to the G1 packaging art as the current main image. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 13:40, 2 July 2023 (EDT)
