Talk:Camshaft (G1)

Why'd we remove the stuff about his white-noise generator dish used to avoid detection when scouting in his "omnibot" mode? It's a fairly distict characteristic and special power as an omnibot?

Well, usually, that kind of specific-toy-incarnation information belongs elsewhere in the article. Just like Jazz's profile shouldn't say he's a certain kind of Porsche, and Mirage's profile shouldn't say he can turn invisible while a yellow box surrounds him. --ItsWalky 01:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't call having a white-noise generator that he uses on stealth missions and that being an omnibot means he has a ".5" mode "toy" info though. I'd call it character related special powers, like how Windcharger's entry goes on at leangth about his speed and magnetic abillities.

He has two bodies that's untrue of. It's specific to his first toy. Chip 02:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, hadn't considered that. :) Although... The Alternator has no bio or fiction so considering the same character is a judgement call (though I personally would too) and Universe is specifically various alternate realities. Actually come to that, the Universe toy really shouldn't be on here should it? I thought Universe guys were considered their own seperate characters and got their own page cause of the alt reality thing. Right?

Just got a lok at Camshaft's Univers bio. It's totally different from his classic one (even has a different quote) combine that with it being Universe and I definately think it should be its own seperate character entry. ZacWilliam 12:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Camshaft didn't have a "classic one." There's the Dreamwave profile and there's this. The most the original mail-order material told us is that he's a scout, and a guy who slinks around in the shadows can certainly apply that to his scoutness. I find the two takes to be complimentary, much like Forest Lee's other material where we get a normal bio and then we get another tangent on their key info. --ItsWalky 15:24, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
