Talk:Galen

Would this, then, be the first 'official' repurposing of a toy? --MissRatbat 07:53, 24 February 2011 (EST)

In the foreword to the IDW Classics Collection 4, Mark W. Bellomo gives the Nebulan's full name as "Galen Kord," a combination of his proper and erroneous names (as seen in the page's footnotes). Is this something we should bother with, or do we consider that this is the dude who spent all of Collection 3's foreword talking about how dumb it is that Ratbat is Decepticon leader? --ItsWalky (talk) 22:53, 20 October 2014 (EDT)

I think it sounds like claptrap, butt if we can fill the wiki with information hidden in the AAs in Cybertronian text, this seems like pretty fair game. It's information from a licensed product. (I hope this means Gort's full name is Gort Grot.) -LV (talk) 01:41, 21 October 2014 (EDT)

Well, if we wanted to get technical the stuff in the Almanacs is presented as in-universe information, whilst this (I believe?) is an out-of-universe foreword. I mean, if Pat Lee had written a foreword featuring one of his "hilarious" misconceptions about Transformers we wouldn't take said misconception as canonical fact, right?
