Beast Wars has plenty
The time is finally right

So, if I nominated Beast Wars Megatron, where does he go in terms of alphabetization? Do I write "Beast Wars Megatron" and put him as a B, or Megatron (BW) and put him as an M? --KilMichaelMcC 13:02, 23 February 2012 (EST)
- Let's say Megatron (BW). --Monzo 13:07, 23 February 2012 (EST)
I would like to know : what can be considered as separated characters or not ? For instance, let's take Demolishor (Armada). Do we consider it at the same characters as Demolishor (ROTF) ? I have plenty of examples of this kind. Rayqui 13:51, 23 February 2012 (EST)
- Generally speaking, Hasbro considers most characters of the same name to be the same character. They don't make nearly the distinctions that this wiki does. --Khajidha 13:55, 23 February 2012 (EST)
- The only character distinction consistency I was able to determine when speaking to a representative at BotCon was that I shouldn't have counted BW Silverbolt among the rest of the Silverbolts. So.. apparently the main rule is "Beast Wars Is Different". --Monzo 14:07, 23 February 2012 (EST)
- I think it's less "BW is different" and "blatantly, aggressively different". Like, no, ROTF Demolishor wouldn't be considered the same as Armada Demolishor. I don't think Energon Ironhide is considered part of the Ironhide gestalt-character, and his altmode really isn't THAT far off. --M Sipher 18:50, 23 February 2012 (EST)
- Extra clarity wouldn't hurt, methinks. I could see Hasbro fusing all of the Wheeljacks and Ratchets, but not all of the Rampages and Thunderwings. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if they make their decision of who to fuse / not fuse the same day they announce the winners. So... put the suffixes in just to make sure. --Thylacine 2000 22:39, 23 February 2012 (EST)

What about someone like Cybertron Soundwave? He greatly resembles the typical Soundwave design, yet he was noticeably absent from the Soundwave video. Does Hasbro consider him part of the collective Soundwave character or no? --Sabrblade 23:23, 23 February 2012 (EST)
Does Unicron count as a non-Transformer robot? -- Dark T Zeratul 04:18, 24 February 2012 (EST)
- We have accepted votes for him in the past. --Monzo 04:31, 24 February 2012 (EST)
Can I change my nominations once they're submitted? (i.e. remove my earlier set of five and add a different one at the end?) --Flicky1991 15:25, 25 February 2012 (EST)
- Leave the current set of votes where they are, but change the one vote you want to alter. --Monzo 15:30, 25 February 2012 (EST)
- OK, thanks! --Flicky1991 15:36, 25 February 2012 (EST)
