I don't like how this page has all the animation storys first, then all the comics. It's not consistant with the other pages like Megatron (UT) where they are by series first, then toy, TV show and comic. What do others think? user:mathewignash

Well, sir, then we must make those other pages consistent! :D Think about it - doesn't it make a heck of a lot more sense to cover all of one continuity first, then move on to the next one, rather than jump back and forth between them - to go "Armada cartoon," "Energon cartoon," "Cybertron cartoon," "Armada comic," "Energon comic," rather than "Armada cartoon," "Armada comic," "Energon cartoon," "Energon comic." It allows for the best flow of the article's narrative, completing one full story and then moving on to tell the next version of the story. It would be like going "Marvel G1 comic," "G1 cartoon," "Marvel G2 comic," breaking up things that occur in the same continuity unnecessarily. - Chris McFeely 10:50, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm not convinced. To me Transformers is a TOY LINE first, and a TV show, comic, whatever, later. Putting the information by line (Energon, Armada, Cybertron) makes sense to me, and then under it list the toys, and what the character did in the comics or TV show that was made of the toy line. user:mathewignash

I was totally in agreement with this viewpoint in earlier days, but then I saw just how well this method works on the Transformers wiki - the article is, after all, about the *character,* and his fictional exploits, and there a narrative there that it is important to retain. Actually, now that I think about it, I was *always* prone for Unicron Trilogy characters to include the comics info in one large "Dreamwave comics" section, after covering the cartoons, in order to preserve the whole affair. The division by series worked originally when the toys had to be discussed alongside the fiction, necessitating that each series be separated out so that the toys could be covered in order, but now that the toys have their own subsection on the page, keeping the fiction in order makes for more natural reading to me. - Chris McFeely 21:38, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

If you are in the opinion that this is about characters, then wouldn't it make sense to put Armada Megatron and Galvatron on the same pages? He's one character who changes his name often. user:mathewignash

They ARE on the same page, though - the UT Megatron article covers all his activities as Galvatron. They're just mirrored on the Galvatron page. - Chris McFeely 10:30, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
