![]() Jimsorenson 11:44, 17 October 2009 (EDT)Ī note should be said in the article about canon. It's certainly a big enough change that it should get broad exposure. This idea is getting some traction over on the Tonka GoBots page, so I thought I'd replicate the discussion here. This conversation, and all others unless explicitly noted, originally took place on Community Portal. What's one more metric assload? - DrSpengler 00:06, 17 October 2009 (EDT) I just think it's a metric assload of material to be adding.- Rosicrucian Talk 00:00, 17 October 2009 (EDT) If we can do it up to our usual standards, I'm for it. Things like Machine-Robo and associated fiction have not been brought into the Transformers canon and pretty much cannot be officially, legally, brought in. IMO, the toys (as something owned by Bandai) are outside of that purview. ![]() I think that we'd only cover the part of GoBots that are canon for Transformers. DrSpengler 23:31, 16 October 2009 (EDT)Īlso, would we be able to cover the toys, or just the fiction? - Semysane 23:47, 16 October 2009 (EDT) I wouldn't mind slogging through the cartoons myself, or maybe even calling dibs on the Rock Lords movie, but I'd just like to know exactly how much GoBots we'd be willing to cover.Īnd just to throw it out there for reference, Counter-X is probably our best source for GoBots research on the entire interwebs. Would we cover just the cartoon? Would we also cover the Robo Machine comics published in the UK? Would we do articles for each character along with complete toy write ups? Just curious. Jimsorenson 23:10, 16 October 2009 (EDT)Īs much as I'd fap to the idea of having full-blown GoBots coverage on this wiki, I'd just like to get straight how deep we'd go with the coverage. I'd be happy enough to go through and start with character pages and episode guides though. I'm not sure what the downside would be to that, other than it'll take a while for it to be up to the wiki's usual standards. We could certainly choose to catalog the 65 episodes and one movie of Gobots as effectively another Transformers continuity family, which it basically is. Due to the legalities surrounding GoBots, the only licensed future stories set in the Gobots multiverse will be Transformers stories. This is a fundamentally different case than Death's Head, who left the Transformers multiverse explicitly, or G.I. The Gobots cartoon has effectively been subsumed, in whole, into the Transformers mythos. Joe or Death's Head, where the only stories that count for the purposes of our wiki are the ones that include Transformers.- ItsWalky 00:20, 7 April 2009 (EDT) Personally, I think that the GoBots should be covered here IN FULL. ![]() Or (I don't think so) does Hasbro's purchase of them retroactively drag everything in, cartoon and all, as a "continuity family"? - Starfield 17:07, 6 April 2009 (EDT) Or is it like crossovers such as Star Wars: only the bits that appear in Transformers fiction are canon. Joe: the whole universe is canon, but only the bits that appear in Transformers fiction is Transformers Wiki-noteworthy. What is canon? I'm guessing it is like G.I. This conversation originally took place on the Gobots franchise page.Ī note should be said in the article about canon. After 4 months of discussion, a compromise that everyone can agree on, starting a GoBots sister wiki on the same server with the same code, is reached. ![]() 2009 Executive SummaryĪ huge discussion about how much GoBots is appropriate, and why.
