Talk:Inferno (BW)
Should we bother with foreign names if they're the same as the English and spelled the same way? I'd drop the French name (keeping the Spanish), but I can be convinced otherwise, if there's some technicality I'm overlooking. --ItsWalky 19:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
TM Scavenger
What are we going to do with regards to Transmetal Scavenger? All signs point to Scavenger actually being Inferno: the Beast Wars Metals toy is called "Inferno" and Scavenger's specs certinly act like Scavenger is a pre-existing character. Also, aside from the Ultra Transmetals, all of the Transmetal characters (including McDonalds) had pre-transmetal toys, and were featured in the show.
I've heard the reason Hasbro/Kenner changed the name to Scavenger was because of the Inferno colonies warming store shelves. --FortMax 20:11, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- That's a footnote for his Toys section (a secton frequently unused, as people just stick a TFU.info link in the External links.)
- I think the theory just as you put forth (inferno warming shelves) ie pretty well documented by this point, and no one seems to disagree that's probably the reason. -Derik 20:25, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
