So should we genericize this guy's intro paragraph? He's been lots of different things in lots of different continuities. Or is his original portrayal Super Big Enough (like Galvatron being Megatron and created from Unicron) that it's important to keep? --ItsWalky 12:56, 7 January 2012 (EST)

Well I'll tell ya, the reason I went with that approach for his intro paragraph, and did the same for the other Masterforce Pretenders, is because they shared the same backstory across their anime and manga portrayals, and putting it into the intro saved typing out identical stuff across two different sections (and also because this backstory was part of their original Japanese pack-in profile cards, so seemed like core stuff for the characters). With Metalhawk's expansion to numerous other pieces of fiction since, though, it does seem to make more sense to genericize the intro and cover his Japanese backstory twice-over in the anime and manga sections. I don't think the resultant intro will be terribly interesting, though, given his personality is "good and brave and sword." - Chris McFeely 14:29, 7 January 2012 (EST)
