I'm assuming this lists characters and concepts unique or original to this story, but I'm not 100% sure. Could someone add a note of clarification. Khajidha 16:02, 19 March 2010 (EDT)
- Original to the story, or else the Stellar Galleries and Kolkular wouldn't be in there. I thought it was a shame not to offer some overview to the readers of the story's pseudocanon input to Transformers. Geewunling 16:10, 19 March 2010 (EDT)
- Not a bad idea - mentioning them increases the likeliness of them being canonized in the future! - Chris McFeely 17:00, 19 March 2010 (EDT)
- Which I'll admit was an underlying intent. I'd murder to get more of Direwolf, or maybe even see Killzone established as Killzone. Geewunling 17:06, 19 March 2010 (EDT)
- Uh, is this -- "Writers of official media, feel free to canonize at will!" -- an okay thing for us to be saying? Would characters and other things created by Furman in a non-Hasbro-owned capacity not actually belong to Furman himself? Are they really free for other writers to use "at will," without his permission?--KilMichaelMcC 22:36, 19 March 2010 (EDT)
- Remember, they're all derivative works based on Hasbro's intellectual property in the first place. The legalities are ... murky. Khajidha 23:23, 19 March 2010 (EDT)

Killzone
Okay then, Jim, please explain why my change was "bullshit." --KilMichaelMcC 21:08, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- And again, just because it's a coincidence doesn't negate the status of the name being canonized. I am having a hard time even understanding your objection to having Killzone link to Killzone, especially since they are both Decepticons, both in the same continuity family ... I mean, what more do you want? --Jimsorenson 21:09, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- Considering we have characters, even the same continuity family, that share both names and factions all the time, that means nothing at all. If Sipher and Troop created their own new character that's not intended to be the same character from Alignment, they're... not the same character. Plain and simple. --Jeysie 21:13, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
