Intro

We have a loooooot of pages that didn't need continuity-non-specific intros when they were written, and do now. THis is one. So are Metalhawk, Overlord and Wreckers, off the top of my head. We should probably be trying to update them. Maybe I will later. -LV 20:36, 1 June 2012 (EDT)

"Daiatlas" and distinct katakana spelling

The Japanese translations of IDW's comics refer to Dai Atlas as ダイ・アトラス, distinct from the ダイアトラス spelling traditionally used, implying that the translators view the "Dai Atlas" spelling as something distinct from the Japanese name. Given this fact, coupled with the use of "Daiatlas" on the Legends toy and the Viz manga translations, would there be merit in using that spelling for Japanese fiction coverage as a way of reflecting the two different Japanese spellings? (I'm not arguing for "Diatlas" as, while undoubtedly a factor in the name, it's never been officially used as a romanization and hasn't been confirmed as the designer's preference, unlike Deathsaurus/Gilthor/Violengiguar.) --Riptide (talk) 22:18, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

I think the spelling is valid after those two very recent instances and can be used in the japanese fiction coverage, at the very least the manga and Legends. MrRald (talk) 22:32, 15 September 2021 (EDT)
