Does anyone else have an inexplicable, irrational hatred for the use of the term "Sunbow cartoon" to describe the G1 cartoon and want to see it stamped out forever, or is that just me? --KilMichaelMcC 08:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

You don't see me using it! --ItsWalky 08:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
It is cumbersome.
But I'm using it against the day we get another Generation 1 cartoon and everythign needs to be changed. (We have multiple G1 comics, id'd by companies.) Find me another term that meets that need and I shall use it. -Derik 08:48, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Wait, what the hell are you doing? 'animated continuity'? Then why is Headmasters in a DIFFERENT subsection? IT'S animated. How the hell does 'animated continuity' == the US toon when Headmasters, Masterforce, Victory, Scramble City, Zone etc etc etc... are also G1- but are not 'animated continuity'?
Call me back when you find a real term, not your made-up word-rapery.-Derik 08:53, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
But those are in the G1 Animated Continuity. --FortMax 17:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, Derik. If you hadn't noticed, the Headmasters cartoon on this (and every other page, if they're formatted right) should be a subsection of G1 animated continuity. See those little ===s? There's an extra set for Headmsters, placing it within the section above it. The table of contents? Look at it? --ItsWalky 18:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Plus, the only parts of that continuity that actually had anything to do with Sunbow are the US cartoon and TFTM --FortMax 18:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

There probably should be some sort of subheading before the US toon material, though:

I. Fiction
 A. Animated continuity
  1. US toon
  2. Japanese toons
  3. Beast stuff
  4. Universe or whatever
 B. Marvel continuity
 C. Dreamwave G1 continuity
 D. IDW G1 continuity
 E. Random other things

It doesn't make sense, outline-wise, to have content at point A unless it applies to all the numbered sub-points below A (like a brief summary of all the animated continuity stuff to follow). If the events from items 2, 3, or 4 are going to be put in a subsection of A, the events from item 1 should also be in a subsection.

Also, can we maybe not be such jerks to each other on Talk pages? Thanks.
