Talk:Burn Out (Diaclone)

Does Burn Out really go in the "Female Transformer" category? She's female, but she's a piloted mech with an AI, and is in no way an actual Transformer except in outward appearance. --ItsWalky (talk) 00:03, 19 June 2015 (EDT)

Nightbird is an AI and gets Female Transformer category. Should be listed under "Half-qualifiers" on list of Female Transformers and tagged Female Transformer on her page.

Well Nightbird was upgraded with Cybertronian tech in Legends. Burn Out is strictly an Earth mecha. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 17:30, 27 May 2016 (EDT)

Soooo... anyone notice that they mad Burn Out a guy in the product description? Does this count towards anything, or...? BaronXVI (talk) 10:32, 21 July 2022 (EDT)

As much as any other editing flub in product copy for a character with an established gender, ie not much. -AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 10:42, 21 July 2022 (EDT)

That's making me wonder if Road Rocket's established gender getting switched to female was a mistake or not now, hmm... BaronXVI (talk) 10:45, 21 July 2022 (EDT)

The fact that that mold was explicitly designed as female is a more likely reason for that switch. --Khajidha (talk) 13:45, 21 July 2022 (EDT)

Split out Cybertronians from Diaclone mecha

Why is this on the Diaclone page anyway? We already had this thing with the Bug Bites and we ultimately came around to splitting it with a "see also" on the GoBot one. Escargon (talk) 10:22, 22 July 2022 (EDT)

Agreed. The intro for this article comes off as really silly trying to incorporate both interpretations and the characterizations here are much more different than, say, Knock Out (Prime) and Knock Out (G1). Saix (talk) 14:19, 22 July 2022 (EDT)

Thirded. It was fine when it was just a few cute shout outs but now that Hasbro is actively mining Diaclone content on a constant basis we need to re-evaluate our approach. Grum (talk) 14:32, 22 July 2022 (EDT)
