- This isn't actually true, the story made it to the papers first, in the Scottish Daily Record. I also really don't think it is appropriate to single out one person out of potentially many who complained (I personally know others who did), and at the time it wasn't known that the figure wouldn't be released outside of North America, so it was hardly 'white knighting', more a genuine concern.

Do we really need to talk about another character's bio on Over-Run's page? Okay, so they changed the word 'spastic' in Strafe's bio because of this toy but is it actually worth mentioning here? Make note of it on Strafe's page if its that important but Over-Run has nothing to do with Strafe. [[Special:Contributions/95.148.9.91|95.148.9.91]] 07:58, 20 January 2011 (EST) | |||

The TFW link on Spaastic's name change is broken, and I can't find it to update the link, suggesting the news story itself has been removed. Perhaps it was inaccurate? --abates 17:02, 26 November 2010 (EST)
- Some other websites have reported it, so those could be citations. (Here's one) I personally, think it's accurate. --NCZ 22:34, 26 November 2010 (EST)
- That link says that Spastic will not be available in the UK. The broken link said something about Spastic's name changing everywhere. I think we need to wait and see for official news that the name will change, or if the toy is simply canceled or something. - Starfield 22:41, 26 November 2010 (EST)
- For what it's worth, I reported the whole thing to Rich Johnston, who basically published my text (with my approval) with minimal changes and a credit at the bottom. This is one article that reports the facts accurately as far as I'm concerned.--Nevermore 12:02, 28 November 2010 (EST)

White Knight
"The controversy was picked up by tabloid newspapers in the United Kingdom, thanks to a self-appointed white knight: a UK Transformers fan who felt Hasbro should be "taught a lesson" by having the story spread to the mainstream press"
- This isn't actually true, the story made it to the papers first, in the Scottish Daily Record. I also really don't think it is appropriate to single out one person out of potentially many who complained (I personally know others who did), and at the time it wasn't known that the figure wouldn't be released outside of North America, so it was hardly 'white knighting', more a genuine concern.
