Talk:Nexus Prime

I wouldn't mind not increasing traffic to that, um, non-Transformers related website. - Starfield 20:18, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

Well, Critical Name Research Failure is the sort of thing we tend to find news-worthy, and I'm not sure how else to cite it... --Jeysie 20:27, 30 May 2009 (EDT)

As a side note, at least as of today this wiki page has pulled ahead of the, shall we say, "original" Nexus Maximus page. -- Dark T Zeratul 05:24, 4 August 2009 (EDT)

So..... ummm in the Club comics he is a Prime now (Nexus Prime) ....... there goes all the jokes.... ho huh........ Protoman 12:07, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Source please. Let's make this better, £5 if it's not leaked.Metal Gear NOIZE 14:26, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Er, his source is probably just what he said it was: the club comics. Specifically Reunification: Part 5, which according to the TFCC webpage the first-class subscribers should be getting right now. (As a lowly third-classer, I have to wait.) --Jeysie 14:30, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Yup 's from the mag. And to officially raise the question, didn't we establish that "in fiction" names trump "on package" names for the wiki? That would mean this should move, Yes? (Or does unintentionally hilarious names trump in fiction names?) --ZacWilliam 07:29, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

I'd speculate that, hilarious name or no, they were probably always intending to call him "Nexus Prime" in the story itself (since being one of the 13, he should be a Prime), and just had to make a concession for the toy since Hasbro are persnickity about what "Prime" gets put on. - Chris McFeely 08:29, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

I always thought it was the other way around... toy trumps fiction as the official name. (Or is that only for which franchise to put people in?) --Jeysie 09:05, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

Naw, it's always been fiction-first. "Beast Changer", and all that. I don't think we have anyone at their toy-name if they have a different in fiction. - Chris McFeely 10:19, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

Yup, fiction trumps toys for us, always has. --Jimsorenson 12:19, 28 September 2009 (EDT)

Nexus Prime seems to be his true form, does that mean he is like the opposite of a combiner, a disassemble-er? Instead of the minds of several Transformers gestalting into one, his mind fractures into five? Oh, and I vote for the move. - Starfield 12:14, 28 September 2009 (EDT)
