Hey, look at that. I googled it and found nothing. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=Starkscream&meta=&aq=f&oq= --Detour 02:32, 16 December 2009 (EST)
- I did say you needed to sift through the porn results. This is Google, after all.

- If you don't like the nickname because it's a shameful pun or because you don't think the similarities are that obvious, then fair enough -- but all I'm saying is that it's a nickname that's been used. MagFlare 02:44, 16 December 2009 (EST)
- Two guys (with one more agreeing)? That's hardly a sufficient percentage. Especially when it only came up when the first pictures surfaced and has gone unspoken in the last almost-two-years. --Detour 03:04, 16 December 2009 (EST)
- Three guys who, apparently working independently, began using the same name, actually. But, hey, I'll stop pressing the point -- I didn't realize I was offending the Chief Arbiter of Fandom Nicknames over here, whose duty it is to strike down all in-jokes in order to preserve the TFWiki's meta-purity.

- You weren't. But three guys in a giant fandom like Transformers? I can find more people who at some point called ROTF Demolishor "Mr. Wheels" and ROTF Sideswipe "Stabby McWheelfeet". I mean, three guys! Two of them on a TF board so below the radar it hasn't had any posts in a week! That's hardly a relevant sample. And again, the freaking nickname has gone unspoken in over a year. (also, you gotta love it when people losing an argument try for the hive-mind or the clique angle) --Detour 03:24, 16 December 2009 (EST)
- It could be worse. You could be dealing with the sort of person who, when confronted with a stonewall Wiki reverter, goes back and edits the reverter's words in the discussion page. And that would be terrible.
- Srsly though, guy, you've won here. No further edits will be attempted. MagFlare 03:35, 16 December 2009 (EST)
