Isn't "Double Targetmaster" a fan term? I don't think it should be used here. --ItsWalky 20:15, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

What's more, it's the Transformer who's the Targetmaster, not the Nebulan. The Nebulan should be referred to as either a "Targetmaster partner," a "Targetmaster weapon, or (preferably) just a "Nebualan."--G.B. Blackrock 20:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

if the Transformer is the Targetmaster, why are Deployers and Action-master partners caleld Targetmasters too? The term applies to the small robots.

These are "Targetmaster partners," not "Targetmasters". The difference is significant.--G.B. Blackrock 21:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Double Targetmaster... I'm actually not SURE. The term doesnt' reply to the fact Quickmix gets two fo them- it refers to their (seldom-used) 'double weapon' form. (That's what theyr'e called by the Instructions.) That's as close to an official term as we have. Double Weapon Targetmasters/ The combining gimmick certainly makes them a sub-set of Targetmasters in general anyway... -Derik 21:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

DAMNIT GB,

stop vandalizing entries to suit your preconceptions. I went back and re-read every single pannel Quickmix appeared in, and every word written about him- ever to write this.

QUOTING FROM DW's MTMTE FOR QUICKMIX:
"Whichever Targetmaster forms the barrle in the combined mode has his power level boosted by the other." The little guys are caleld Targetmasters.

Is US #60 Quickmix is sporting weapons that are drawn exactly liek these guys. And though the weapons are generally miscolored black, yes- in the final splash pannel Yotmov DID manage to correctly color them liek their respectiver Targetmasters. In later appearances, Quickmix qields random guns, not his Targetmaster partners, different shape, wrong color.

'Double Targetmaster' as a term I may give you- but double weapon targetmasters ARE a subset of TM's, with a unique function. You don't liek the term? COME UP WITH A BETTER ONE, DON'T JSUT DELETE IT.-Derik 21:18, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

This is not "vandalism" as you call it. It's an extremely unfair accusation. Changing an article to be more accurate is not vandalism, but is the nature of Wiki. As to the fact that the weapons look like the Nebulan weapons, I've already commented that this could well be just coincidence. Neither did I "just delete" the term. As you've no doubt noticed, I've edited quite a few of these. In most cases, the edit involved a fair amount of rewording.

However, I'm happy to let others' opinions come in on this. Still, play fair, please. Your behavior at present is inexcusable.--G.B. Blackrock 21:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
