 * Delete. While the article's "assertion of notability" is through being real-world marketed as a toy and a minor character in a notable series, it lacks notability as a fictional element. After deletion we can redirect to Transformers: Universe where this character has all the mention it needs.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 00:27, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete as non-notable. Can't find any reliable sources. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:49, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually in looking, they do have mention in reliable sources. For instance, see New York Times review and write-up in some books speaking about the toys, but really not enough to merit anything but a post-deletion redirect to where they might be spoken of and sourced in context.
