Ask Vector Prime
The Gargent refugees in Uprising have not been identified by name. Many GoBots names have been used in other realities which are not, to our knowledge, the original GoBots characters: Crasher (SG), Cop-Tur (G1), Cy-Kill (TransTech), etc. If the currently ongoing GoBots Fun Pub stories confirm Vamp and Creepy are Renegades, then its official. Until then, it's only an implication worth noting. --Xaaron (talk) 15:13, 26 January 2016 (EST)
- Stop being mindlessly pedantic. Jim wrote both things and took the time to specify the exact universe; the implication is clear and straightforward. Saix (talk) 15:53, 26 January 2016 (EST)
- Exactly. It's an implication only -- it's not confirmed yet. When it's confirmed, then you can say it's official. The implication that Tarn and Roller are the same being in IDW is clear and straightforward, too...but they will remain on separate pages until and unless that implication is officially confirmed. --Xaaron (talk) 16:08, 26 January 2016 (EST)
- I'd say this is more clear than James Roberts hinting something that may or may not happen, and also specifically mentioning they're masquerading as Predacons-which the only Gobot names that have shown up are Predacons. Escargon (talk) 16:11, 26 January 2016 (EST)
- Yeah, I'm on the side of "don't treat anything that hasn't been explicitly or very clearly implicitly confirmed as true", here. It's fine with the GoBot part as a trivia note. I didn't want to put Autonomous Maximus as the Last Autobot until Vector practically said "yes, that is what I was implying", so... --Riptide (talk) 16:41, 26 January 2016 (EST)
- @Escargon: It's not an issue of how clear an implication this is, but that it IS still just an implication. And one in ongoing fiction, no less. It's not our place to say, "Oh, I know where this is going", and jump to the end. We're not ignoring the idea by putting it in the Notes section. It's not being removed from the page. It's just the proper place to put unconfirmed information.
- I'm sure of this, because I came to this page without knowing about that AVP answer. I saw "Ask Vector Prime says Creepy was one of the GoBots who arrived in BWU." I looked up the AVP response to find out who the other GoBots in BWU were, only to find that AVP doesn't actually say that. Acknowledging it in the Notes gives the information its proper weight -- it's probably true, but no one's said so for sure yet. --Xaaron (talk) 17:03, 26 January 2016 (EST)
- @Xaaron: If something's heavily implied to the point where it's all but confirmed, I think it should be added. Compare this to say, Jetstream: Whirl never EXPLICITLY mentions that name, but it's pretty friggin' obvious it's meant to be him. Hell, that's what whole Ulchtar debate boiled down to, and I'm amazed that it's still it's own separate article. As for your points, Riptide, VP responded basically with "Yeah, I'm pretty certain we all already know who it is. Why did you bother asking?"

As long as we're all arguing over the implications of this Ask Vector Prime post, perhaps a link to said post would be helpful in making sure everyone is on the same page -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 17:15, 26 January 2016 (EST)
