Talk:Artfire

Where do we want to have the main article, the offical-but-incorrect "Artfire", or the unoffical-but-correctly-romanized (I think)-and-actually-means-something "Autofire". "Artfire" is more widley used, but so was "Minelba" at one point. --FortMax 22:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Exactly how official IS Artfire, anyway? As far as I know, he's never appeared in any form outside of Japan. Unless I'm mistaken in that assumption, I'm in favor of Autofire with Artfire as a redirect. - Dark T Zeratul 02:11, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

"Artfire" was used in English on the blindpacked Super Spy Changers box. --Monzo 02:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think "Autofire" is any more reasonable than "Artfire" - when Doug decided to revise his earlier transliteration, it was apparently under the mistaken belief that Artfire's function was "Rapid-Fire Gunner", but it isn't. That was Stepper. Artfire is a sniper, and I think the logic behind his name works perfectly well - he fires, because he has a gun, and he makes it an art, because he's so great.

I also seem to recall Quez saying the kana didn't actually works as "Autofire", but I'm not about to say that definitively because it's been years. -LV 14:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
