Talk:Elite Guard

It's an offical term, comes form the episdoe guide. And in the card pics, you can clearly see Ultra Magnus and Ironhide bearing unique faction symbols.

Yes, but you've put next to nothing in for us to base an article around.--Rosicrucian^Talk 00:27, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Apart form the first known members, and their outranking Prime, there isn't any other info I kind find.

Then don't make an article about it. If we jump the gun too much, it just looks bad.--Rosicrucian^Talk 00:35, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete it. If there's no information at the moment, there is no reason to make an article about it. --FFN 00:39, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Pic caption

Okay, Big Hammer Bot (UM) is obviously "Thor", if I squint I can see Sentinel = "Cap", but I don't get "Flash"... - 82.10.138.152 19:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

It might be a personality thing. IDK. Kapu37 19:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

It goes like this:

-Ultra Magnus = Strong and level headed leader tipe, with thunder hammer = Thor

-Sentinel Prime = Being blue, hot headed, having a shield = Captain America

-Jazz = Being the cool guy, being fast = Flash

Main pic

Should we change it to a screenshot of the Elite Guard Emblem? User:GWolfv2

Yes, and move down the group photo.

Also, The Flash is a DC character, not Marvel. --Hepathos 22:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Glad you guys liked it. I tooled that up because that's the format we use them in on the insignia page (rather than grabbing straight from screenshots).--Rosicrucian^Talk 23:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Jazz is Iron Man, you clods.

TONY STARK MAKES YOU FEEL HE'S A COOL EXEC WITH A HEART OF STEEL etc. (and yes, I know that if you want to be all wikipedia about it, ironhide is probably iron man, but whatever.) -hx 20:51, 13 April 2008 (EDT)

Hell naw man, Jazz is a sweet playa, like dat bad mutha, Luke Cage, foo'! --Hepathos 19:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Elite Guard Membership

Just my opinion, but until it is actually mentioned in the show that a character is a member of the Elite Guard, or there's another official source saying so, like a Hasbro Bio, the membership list shouldn't be messed with. Let's leave it at Thor, Captain America and The Black Panther for now. (besides, we'll need time to think up more superhero references).--Nightshade83 20:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Dunno, why not put on the newest info scrubs we could ever find? I mean, the TF Wiki is essetially supposed be the biggest TF info source. Also, Blurr could be Quicksilver.--Hepathos 03:55, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Re-instatted

Doesn't Sentinel specifically talk about getting Optimus re-instated in the Guard? We should probably have him down as a former member. JW 14:33, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

"Prime" as indicator of Elite Guard inclusion

Is the claim that "The term "Prime" designated an officer's rank within the Elite Guard," really substantiated beyond circumstantial evidence? Longarm Prime, for example, is only called such in the cartoon (not on the toy), yet Derrick Wyatt tells us the Longarm is not a part of the Elite Guard. (On the other hand, Longarm is known to have attended boot camp with Bumblebee.) Anyway, with so few "Prime's" to chose from, it seems just as likely to me that "Prime" is what they call any group leader....--G.B. Blackrock 17:28, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

It's a rank within the Cybertron military, and by extension that makes it a rank within the Elite Guard - but saying it's exclusively a rank within the EG is certainly not substantiated. - SanityOrMadness 19:04, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

By the way, why was Ultra Magnus removed?KrytenKoro 23:01, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

Optimus is a former member?

Why is Optimus listed as a former member? I don't recall anything saying he was ever Elite Guard in the first place, or that he was "demoted" to the space bridge crew rather than simply assigned there. --KilMichaelMcC 23:15, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

I can't be sure of the episode (I think Mission Accomplished) Sentinel says he can get Optimus reinstated in the Elite Guard. Just look around in the first part of Season Two where the EG appeared and you'll probably find it in the trivia.--AWT88 23:32, 13 May 2009 (EDT)
