Why exactly are we not having this within the actual prose itself? This isn't a fiction section where we have to use notes to avoid breaking the fourth wall. —Interrobang 20:31, 26 May 2011 (EDT)

To highlight it. If someone were scanning a page to see what toys a character has, there isn't anything to let them know which toys were borrowed from another character without reading inside a block of text. Personally I think they should be under a "Repurposed toys" heading instead of under the "Toys" heading. - Starfield 21:28, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
I don't understand why being repurposed is a special quality that needs us to call it out harder on a page. What makes it a more important bit of information than anything else about a toy? What if I want to quickly scan a page to see which toys came with Robot Points? --ItsWalky 21:30, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
I'm with Starfield on this one. To me, a repurposed toy is not the same as a toy actually released as a character. You can't actually buy a toy of Generation 1 Lockdown, you have to buy the ROTF one and make pretend. In some sense, repurposed toys don't actually belong on the page of the character they have been repurposed as, it seems useful to me to make this distinction as clear as possible. --Khajidha 22:01, 26 May 2011 (EDT)
