This character article fails to establish notability. Other than a trivial "Top 8" reference, all the references reinforce fictional details and trivial toy details. TTN (talk) 11:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as simply nothing convincing for its own article. SwisterTwister talk 05:12, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or merge to List of Decepticons. BOZ (talk) 23:38, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect and merge if there's anything that people want merging; I am, however, opposed to keeping as-is, as I do not see any evidence of real-world notability. While the article is very long, it seems to be mostly made up of trivial details. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:42, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or merge to List of Decepticons for the reasons stated above. Aoba47 (talk) 16:47, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Which reasons? Josh Milburn (talk) 18:07, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • The article lacks any evidence of real-world notability. Aoba47 (talk) 16:46, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - A Google search indicates the character will appear in Transformers (film series)#Transformers: The Last Knight (2017). If so, there will be plenty of real-world coverage for the character.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Argento Surfer (talk • contribs) 21:43, 23 May 2016
  • If and when that coverage is forthcoming, the page can be recreated. Appearing film does not automatically grant notability. Josh Milburn (talk) 07:26, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to List of Decepticons or delete. There are more hits on Google Books for this character than most of the others that have been nominated lately, but the results are basically trivial mentions, price guides, or novels. There isn't enough independent sourcing about the real-world aspects to satisfy the GNG. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:33, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
