OK guys, a lrage proportion of this article needs to be binned; specifically the bits that need to go concern the Original Research concerning fan debate over the so-called 'Identity Crisis' and associated speculation. I'm going to try and do some work on this tomorrow, so if people have an issue, speak now... in 24 hours I'm going to deleate anything I feel to be unsourced or OR, in line with Wikipedia guidelines. There is also an issue of notability, and as such this article can probably do with being about half the length it is. Anyhow, let me know what you think.

OK, nobody got back to me so I have done two things: firstly, entirely deleted the 'confused dialogue' section. I can't see any way in which this conforms to Wikipedia notability... it's simply not encyclopedic, so let's move on. Regarding the 'identity crisis ' section, I have substantially cut it down. Despite a lack of citations, despite me commenting before, nothing had been done. The vast majority of the section constituted Original research as I'm sure the author(s) are/were aware, and as such has been binned. The rest of the article still needs work, but those were the two biggest flaws that i culd see, and have now been (virtually) dealt with. I'd still like a citation at the point indicated though ;-).

The rest of the article still needs a bit of a rewrite to make it sound less 'in-universe' but these are the major problems. Blackmetalbaz ( talk) 12:40, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
I agree with whoever put that the Identity Crisis bit needs to be shortened. Trouble is, how do we get rid of the unnecessary stuff without losing the various arguments. Anyone else think a new article might do it? SMegatron 19:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm fairly sure that deleting the whole section is a better option than creating a separate article. It simply isn't relevant to an encyclopedia... at best, it is worth mentioning that there is some confusion. However, the section as it stands makes the issue look vastly more important than it actually is (come on, they started talking about shade differences on his knees!). Most importantly, the section constitutes original research if it's not referenced to legitimate sources, which would qualify it for deletion.
I'm not sure where this fits- but Cyclonus is SKYWARP. I have seen the movie countless times and there is no doubt in my mind that Cyclonus is Skywarp. Thundercracker became Scourge and Bombshell and the other Insecticons- became the sweeps. I hope this puts an end to the issue- but SKYWARP IS CYCLONUS.
Trust me, there is much debate about this, and always will be. The arguements are all stated on the Cyclonus main page. user:mathewignash
I have seen Tranformers: The Movie countless times and there is no doubt in my mind that Cyclonus is Skywarp and that Bombshell became one of the sweeps. I have been a fan of the Tranformers for more than 20 years and I have seen the movie enough to know that Skywarp was transformed into Cyclonus. There is no debate.

I updated the status of Universe Cyclonus, and added in an entry for Henkei Cyclonus. Feel free to add any information. Cheers! Optimus91 ( talk) 06:18, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
