Merge into the G1 character list if the character is a reoccurring character, otherwise redirect to the episode list entry that the character appears in. —Farix (t | c) 21:55, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Establishing notability - I just added a good third party book citation that should help establish notability. Mathewignash (talk) 22:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Now that notability is more established, I think it's a keeper. Mathewignash (talk) 22:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of The Transformers characters or something. An official guidebook is not a "third-party" publication, considering that Hasbro and such make profits from sales of those. I guess it could work as a reference, but not one that establishes notability. NotARealWord (talk) 03:01, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge for the sake of building a consensus. No third-party sources to WP:verify notability, although I admit the official guidebook used to make more money might be able to WP:verify a few facts. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:11, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge looks like the right call in this one. He could go in the decepticons article even if he's not actually a robot. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:47, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
