Notability is not established, and there appears to be no room for improvement. TTN (talk) 17:24, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; no evidence of real-world notability. I'm not opposed to a merge/redirect if an appropriate target can be idenfitied. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:32, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Wreckers (Transformers) where it is discussed. I could find no in-depth independent sources needed for notability, but I don't know the Transformers literature well. If sufficient RS don't show up, Wreckers (Transformers) has a good bit on the autobot assembly and could be the target of a merge or redirect. I don't see much extra that needs merging (again, not a scholar here) so I would recommend simply redirecting. --Mark viking (talk) 21:25, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The name has been used by three distinct Transfomer characters across books, comics, and animation, so there's no obvious redirect option. It's unlikely the 7 people per day who visit this page would be unable to find a parent page for the particular story they're interested in. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:52, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't see coverage in reliable sources. Google Books results are basically just novels and unrelated hits about electrical engineering. Web search reveals fan sites, open wikis, and many unrelated hits. There doesn't seem to be any real world notability for these characters. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:45, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and then Redirect as this is still clearly questionable for its own article and there's nothing at all actually convincing this can be its own article. SwisterTwister talk 20:58, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
