Talk:Infestation (IDW)

We're going to have to make a lot of new pages: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=28761 --ItsWalky 19:54, 8 October 2010 (EDT)

All I can say is that I hope Spock meets Galvatron. --NCZ 19:55, 8 October 2010 (EDT)

This is amusing and all, but it calls into question of what we think warrants articles here. Does the entire Infestation story count, or just the Transformers-relevant parts? (I lean to counting the whole thing because, again, amusing. Wish that they would've come up with a more original idea than fucking zombies, though.) —Interrobang 20:17, 8 October 2010 (EDT)

I'd vote just putting up the Transformers stuff until we see if we're required to do otherwise with the twist in Infestation #2. But, DnA teaming up with Nick Roche? I'm feeling relatively optimistic. Antimatter 22:00, 8 October 2010 (EDT)

All the different comic series are called "realities". So the wiki should obviously record things that happen in the Transformers reality. Probably mostly in the two part series "Transformers: Infestation". If a Transformer travels to a non-Transformers reality? That's an interesting question. The wiki only deals in Transformers fiction, so maybe that isn't wiki-worthy even if it involves a Transformer? - Starfield 22:11, 8 October 2010 (EDT)

This is a Transformers wiki. We cover official Transformers stuff. If a Transformer shows up in a comic book with the approval of Hasbro, that is definitely within our jurisdiction. --ItsWalky 22:29, 8 October 2010 (EDT)

So any of the issues with Transformers in them can be documented. That sounds like a good way to go. - Starfield 22:56, 8 October 2010 (EDT)

This is how our wiki has operated forever. See the G2 G.I. Joe crossover. --ItsWalky 23:56, 8 October 2010 (EDT)

G2 Transformers and G.I. Joe are in the same universe. No dimension-hopping involved. I thought it might be different if a Transformer actually hopped realities into a "non-Transformer" universe. But I guess, as far as the wiki is concerned, any reality with Transformers in it cannot, by definition, be a non-Transformers universe. I wonder, is the "Zombies vs. Robots" reality one of the universes in the Transformers multiverse. - Starfield 00:08, 9 October 2010 (EDT)

Multiverses can overlap at certain junctions. Multiple multiverses form an omniverse. --ItsWalky 01:04, 9 October 2010 (EDT)

Yeah, but if you start going up to Omniverse, thats just getting ridiculously Omnicosmological.Thats just going to farr in your classifications.

I just want to know if I should write up a page for Infestation 1. It's not liek it features a single Transformer in it except for the preview pages for the Transformers Infestation preview pages at the end. I assume we're going to have to make pages for some of the Zombies vs. Robots characters because they'll be visiting the 'realities' and it seems like the Vamp zombie with the OTT cleavage is somehow powering it. G1MarvelBlaster 12:22, 31 January 2011 (EST)

My 2¢: Completely write up the Transformers issues, of course. With character pages for all the characters that appear in that issue, listing what they do in that issue. As for Infestation 1 & 2, write them up summarizing only the events that have to do with Transformers. Kind of like issues of GI Joe that feature Transformers. They have a note "Several of the ongoing G.I. Joe plots are also visited in this issue, but are not relevant to the Transformers-related storyline." If there is nothing to do with Transformers, then they don't deserve a write up at all. And don't make character pages for everyone in Infestation 1 & 2 unless they interact with Transformers. - Starfield 12:49, 31 January 2011 (EST)

I think there are Transformers on the last page, visible through one of the portal thingys into the other realities. --abates 14:42, 31 January 2011 (EST)

Yes, there are. We can see those same portal images on an earlier page, but not as clearly. The preview pages of TF:Infestation 1 that just went online clarify that this shot was of a zombified Sweep. --ItsWalky 15:06, 31 January 2011 (EST)

Well, looks like Infestation #2 ultimately spared us that "lot of new pages", as any claim of direct interaction between the franchises at the end were lies and slanders: the only time the four universes are seen together (or even seperately) in that issue are single-panel flashbacks on a two-page spread at the beginning that could be likened to mere background cameos; everything afterwards is purely CVO material with 100% rammifications for CVO and 0% rammifications for the other four. Which only makes Infestation #2's relevance to this wiki rather wonky. Uhhhh, yeah. 24.200.147.164 21:15, 6 April 2011 (EDT)

Guh-Guh-Guh-Ghostbusters!

1: So if we make an article for the Ghostbusters, can we move the bit about the assistants from Susan Hoffman's article to the main "Ghostbusters" article?

2: Of course, I don't know yet how much, if at all, the Ghostbusters will interact with the Transformers (all the properties are supposed to appear in Infestation #2, right, but no guarantee the Ghostbusters will interact with the Transformers?), but would Peter Venkman's presence alongside Optimus on that #1 cover warrant an article for him (and I guess an article for Spock)? I mean, as precedence, there's an article for The Predator, and he only appeared on the cover of one issue of a Transformers comic and not the actual story. --DrSpengler 19:26, 20 February 2011 (EST)
