Talk:Sonic Bomber (Cybertron)

Alright, seriously, what is the point of this? Who does this benefit beyond the most "in the weeds" editors who are familiar with the Galaxy Force behind the scenes stuff, and why is Wing Saber and Sideways any more special than Hot Shot or Red Alert or Landmine or whoever to make this justifiable as a split? And before anyone raises any hackles about this being biased against Japanese media, let it be known that I also feel the same way about the pages for Energon Mirage and Snow Cat, i.e. that they're useless and pointlessly confusing to readers.

After some consideration I'm inclined to agree; this feels like making separate pages for RID01 Megatron and Gigatron when that's not something we traditionally do. Grum (talk) 10:48, 30 December 2022 (EST)

Or for Japan's male Airazor. I agree that this page should instead be a note on Wing Saber. --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 11:36, 30 December 2022 (EST)

Neither of those examples are equivalent scenarios; they're just dub changes that don't retcon them to be different characters. Sonic Bomber isn't Wing Saber or designed to be him, and that characterization remains so for the cartoon, which is a step above profile-only dudes like Mirage and Roadblock. If this goes, the rest have to go too. Saix (talk) 11:05, 31 December 2022 (EST)

As I said, I am also all for merging Mirage and Roadblock with a note explaining that their Hasbro bios make them separate characters. In fact, the only reason why I wasn’t more vocal about Mirage in particular is because until recently I was under the impression that the Dreamwave comic also made Tidal Wave a different dude from him.
