Mainpic

if the logic behind the reverts is ironclad first body only, then why isn't the Fallen using the Dreamwave body? Or Movie Hound? The obnoxious close up in the gag strip is absolutely outweighed by the IDW appearances, like other pages have done. And the Flamewar argument was decided because her original body had actual substantial roles in fiction, the same thing cannot be at all said for Metro here.

His appearance in IDW's stuff has him being an offline robot that's only brought online to be a servant; more substantial of an appearance, perhaps, but just about as substantial as the gag strip appearance. In any case, I don't disagree that the mainpic rule is largely arbitrary, but I remember specifically at the time that it was argued on Flamewar's page that IDW comics were different from the likes of animation and film and that they weren't more substantial, and that was ultimately the winning choice.

Seconded. Aligned Hot Shot and Bayverse Onslaught also don't use the first body rule. IMO it's a guideline, not a hard rule. Iacon0 (talk) 20:55, 5 June 2022 (EDT)
