Talk:Knockdown (disambiguation)

Man, it feels real wrong to call the two identical Knockdowns two different guys. I mean, I know they're technically packaged in different lines, but... can't we just, well, say he was once a freebie with Primus? If Hasbro taped a Classics Bumblebee, no changes, on top of a Primus and sold it, would there be a UT Bumblebee? I'm not sure how I feel about this. --ItsWalky 05:36, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

If he and Strongarm weren't packaged with two other guys who don't share names with their Classics-packaged counterparts, I'd agree. But... saying only half a set? That'd rankle worse, I think. --M Sipher 05:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Could chalk it up to a misprint or just trivia. I mean, the Shadow Recon Team are given the wrong names on their packaging, too. Playing devil's advocate, here. --ItsWalky 06:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I know, but I find it easier (and generally more appealing) to assume that there are these guys in an alternate universe who look identical to some guys in another universe and some have different names (which, let's be honest, is not exactly without canonical precedent) than to go "wellllll, yeah, they're in this packaging format but they're not REALLY from this series and uh half of them have the wrong names". The Shadow Recon and (and Street Speed) versions are pretty explicity the same guys as the first go-round in the same universe with just some mis-labelling of the swap variety. Classics and Cybertron, and guys that we have next to nothing for as far as bios/fiction go for the individuals? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhn. --M Sipher 06:29, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
