Jump to navigationJump to searchRecent IDW revelations
Regarding what we've recently learned about Magnus in IDW continuity - including the content of the recent preview for MTMTE #19 - I'd just like to open up what's probably some inevitable discussion by saying that I don't think we need to do any splitting, or creating of new articles, or anything like that. I think the characters' history can all just live here. - Chris McFeely 08:20, 30 July 2013 (EDT)
- In which case, how would we format the fiction section for someone like Minimus who has history before and after Magnus? Maybe a 'for more information, see Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity'-type note? Jalaguy 08:52, 30 July 2013 (EDT)
- I wouldn't give Minimus a page, save for as a redirect to here. He has been Ultra Magnus for every appearance of any significance the character has had in IDW continuity, so this page is basically "his". But the original Magnus and the guys who had stood in for him can also be covered here, too, in what'll be little more than a paragraph 'cause there's nothing to them. - Chris McFeely 09:01, 30 July 2013 (EDT)
- Agreed--we should keep things easy to read, and splitting this into a bunch of character articles would just be messy compared to a single neat "Ultra Magnus as a concept" article. Maybe Minimus will go on to become a character in his own right, and then he can get an article, but for now I too think he can stay here. --Apoc 06:18, 31 July 2013 (EDT)
- Maybe we could have it like Galvatron II and have him as the main, and the others under the suite? Escargon 06:36, 31 July 2013 (EDT)
- Is this true? My understanding is that either the original UM or - less likely - one of Tyrest's agents is the one in Autocracy and Monstrosity; we know those two happen before the Battle for Hell's Point, and the UM presented there is killed by Megatron. Magaroja 12:36, 31 July 2013 (EDT)
