Not notable outside of the universe. Article consists of a description of some characters/toys, with no independent references verifying any kind of notability per GNG. That a guide and a catalog list this thing is to be expected--that's what such books do. It doesn't mean it's a notable thing. Drmies (talk) 01:17, 23 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep Yes, of course, books about Transformers are expected to contain information about them. Trying to dismiss the notability of the topic on such grounds seems absurd - like trying to say that direct sum is not notable because it is only referenced in books about mathematics.

 * Redirect to List of Maximals. I agree with Drmies.  Comprehensive catalogs do not establish notability to my satisfaction.  Google reports many fansites but not significant coverage in reliable sources.  Deletion is also acceptable as a fallback.  These characters are well-represented on wikia, and they don't need their own intra-wiki fansite hosted on Wikipedia. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:01, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to the list. There is nothing significant covering the character, so it does not need to be given this level of detail. TTN (talk) 17:11, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
