Why is there a link to this guys G2 page, and when you click on it, it brings you to this G1 page. Shouldn't it be a G2 page since that's where he appeared first?--Megatron Prime 12:38, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

His toy writeup says he's gang-molded with "Hawk (G1)", too, so my guess is someone decided that the para-G1 Euro releases should have precedence over the US releases. Which I'm pretty sure is wrong, but way more important is that I just learned that Eagle Eye's Japanese name is "Hawking". Awesome. -LV
There's been a lot of confusion about these guys over the years. I was just thinking the other day that we need to ask Hasbro what their dividing line between G1 and G2 is. Looking at the G2 series toys from Universe 2008, the timeframe listed would seem to subsume the so-called G1.5 characters into G2. Which is what I've thought should be done all along. --Khajidha 13:17, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
Everything I've read indicates that the Skyscorchers were released in European G1 first. That's really all there is to it. —Interrobang 14:33, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
Turbofire and Windbreaker aren't at Hotrider or Zap as their defaults, so I don't think this is as cut and dried as you seem to consider it. I don't know whether the wiki has a policy on orders of precedence in English-speaking countries, but I would think the US names would be used if only to keep them consistent with what the characters are called/will almost certainly be called in every other reference (ie fiction). -LV 14:48, 16 March 2011 (EDT)
