Merge with Titan (group)?

Is there some reason why this isn't just part of the Titan (group) page? --Khajidha (talk) 10:37, 8 January 2019 (EST)

It only applies to the likes of Metroplex, Metrotitan, and Metrobase. Fort Max, Trypticon, Scorponok are all Titans, but aren't Metrotypes. It's a "not all fingers are thumbs" type scenario. --Sabrblade (talk) 10:46, 8 January 2019 (EST)

Was it ever explicitly said that Fort Max, etc are not included in this? --Khajidha (talk) 20:25, 8 January 2019 (EST)

The manga that introduced this concept (Metrowars) referred to Metroplex, Metrotitan, and Metrobase as all being part of a clan from which Metroplex threatened to banish Metrotitan, and the idea came about at a time when the IDW Titan concept was perceived to be exclusive to only those with Metroplex-style body-types, well before the comics introduced others of differing body-types, and long before Titans Return (which saw both Fort Max and Trypticon folded into the Titan classification) was a thing. --Sabrblade (talk) 02:28, 9 January 2019 (EST)

So, that's a "no, it wasn't specified." We are assuming it. Doesn't seem like a compelling reason to me. --Khajidha (talk) 05:37, 9 January 2019 (EST)
