Since we're being anal about where characters originate, wouldn't this more rightly be "Demolishor (WFC)"?--RosicrucianTalk 01:42, 7 April 2010 (EDT)
- I've been thinking about pointing this out myself, but I'm just so unsure just what the rule actually is for this stuff... --Detour 02:23, 7 April 2010 (EDT)
- Depends on what WFC turns out to be, I'd say. We use (G1) to disamb guys who appeared in later G1 comics rather than (Dreamwve), (War Within) etc.. Right now, I don't see how a different medium would mean another identifier. Geewunling 02:27, 7 April 2010 (EDT)
- Except there's the distinct possibility that WFC is considered the backstory to Prime (which has been danced around a few times by Hasbro). I'd say err on the side of caution here. We don't know that this Demolishor is being retroactively inserted into G1. We know that WFC is G1-esque, but we do not know that it's considered G1.--RosicrucianTalk 02:31, 7 April 2010 (EDT)
- I'd appreciate it not to be reminded of that horrendous new franchise name. For gods, it's even worse than "Animated". Anyway, point. For the sake of clarity until further notice, I agree this one should be moved to WFC, with the notion it ought to be changed back if it turns out anyway that WFC is part of G1.

- Here's the thing though. All the other characters on the WfC page link to their G1 selves. If we're honestly going to assume that WfC is something new until proved otherwise than ALL of THOSE should be redirected to new WfC versions of those characters. Mightn't it be more simple to assume that this is G1 and then move it if it proves otherwise? --99.106.200.53 08:22, 7 April 2010 (EDT)
