Talk:Shockwave (disambiguation)

Energon Shockblast

Energon Shockblast is listed under "major Shockwaves", but excluded from the "full list of Shockwaves", instead relegated to the "Not to be confused with..." section. Does anyone else find this a tad confusing, especially for a reader not particularly familiar with Transformers? I'm not saying I have a better suggestion, I just find it... less than optimal.--Nevermore (talk) 17:02, 23 June 2016 (EDT)

I can't see it being that confusing, honestly. --Riptide (talk) 17:08, 23 June 2016 (EDT)

I'm going to change it for consistency, but I'm reluctant to have to put in "Shockwave / Shockblast" into the opening. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 19:43, 23 June 2016 (EDT)

Fact: he's not a major Shockwave. His name is Shockblast. Seems simple. -Crockalley (talk) 20:17, 23 June 2016 (EDT)

Hasbro considers him a version of the name "Shockwave", which is why he's on the major section of this page at all. Leaving him out would go against our goal to inform readers. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 20:39, 23 June 2016 (EDT)

I see no harm in including him in the array of mug shots. Regarding including him in the "Full list of Shockwaves" rather than "Not to be confused with" - I think we could do so, but have him at the bottom along the lines of "Shockblast, the Decepticon tank/satellite from Energon. Though not named Shockwave for reasons, Shockblast is considered to be an incarnation of Shockwave." --abates (talk) 22:05, 23 June 2016 (EDT)
