I don't want to make this edit myself and remove information, but does it really make sense to have a pic of an Elita-1 toy on an Arcee page? And then on Elita-1's page (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Elita-One_%28SG%29) the toy isn't even listed, and instead we have a toy for a completely different character listed? (Override GTS) ?

Learn about repurposing. --Detour 02:12, 6 June 2010 (EDT)

I know what repurposing is, but when you have an official Elita-1 toy, why isn't it under the Elita-1 character page? Makes zero sense at all.

Because the goddamn toy is a goddamn repaint of a goddamn Arcee toy so it was goddamn repurposed as goddamn Arcee. --Detour 02:38, 6 June 2010 (EDT)

Are you like 2 or something that you have to act like that? Shattered glass isn't even official except for a few botcon exclusives, right? It's a "virtual" toyline. It doesn't even exist. I can repurpose characters all day long, that doesn't make them canon.

You repurposing toys doesn't make it canon, but the authors of the official prose stories repurposing toys as various characters does. --Jeysie 02:47, 6 June 2010 (EDT)
Shattered Glass is official. Hasbro stamp of approval and everything. Just because you're too cheap to shell out the dough for membership doesn't make it fanfiction. --Detour 02:48, 6 June 2010 (EDT)

Shattered glass the franchise, prose, etc. IS, the toy isn't. Period. By that logic if Furman came around and propose RID ultra magnus as a repaint of Furman Prime it would be official. When they do an official repaint of the toy and offer it for sale or as an exclusive, then it's official. Until then it's just a digibash or an idea in someone's head. But I'm not arguing logic anymore with someone who just cusses and throws out insults. If you say an official Elita-One toy belongs on an Arcee page, who am I to argue that logic.
