Talk:Scorponok (G1)
Do you think Black Zarak should be considered a seperate character from Scorponok? He did have a different consciousness than Scorponok (with Devil Z in his noggin and Scorponok serving as nothing more than a power battery wired into the chest).--DrSpengler 04:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
no, because Scorponok is the little robot, and the big body is Megazarak/Black Zarak. (Scorponok was generally known as Black Zarak in MF, because he was permenantly wired into his transector, and never emerged.)
That he was posesses by Dark Nova is a null-issue. He's not Dark NOva, he existed for 20 episodes prior as a seperate character. -Derik 06:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
So, hey, what with the use of Japanese names for Headmasters? We normally refer to characters from Japanese fiction with their American names, don't we? - Chris McFeely 18:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- In this case, the Japanese character is being considered different from the English character, so we only have the Japanese names to go on. We're not going to call Go Shuta or whoever "Siren." They're not the same guy, so it's a different case than, say, Stepper/Ricochet. --ItsWalky 18:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, yeah. I guess what my question really was was "Why are we considering them different characters?" I've been through this whole dealie before with the Headmasters DVD, and I can certainly see the logic in taking such an approach, but it's... are we going to create separate articles for Wipe and Skull, just because they have different names from their American counterparts? The differences that separate them from Mindwipe and Skullcruncher are no greater than those that separate Scorponok from MegaZarak. Of course, I'm a giant hypocrit, since I wouldn't contest this in the case of Fortress, so... yes, I really don't know what my point is. - Chris McFeely 19:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
