Savaged…
  • Wouldn't it be safe to say they were created some time before the end of the Clone Wars, rather than before the formation of the Empire? It's a slight difference, but an important one.
    • Changed. Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:59, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
  • "Fearing that Joben and Dusat might reveal the location of Fromm's base, Fromm captured Dusat." Which Fromm was this? The same ambiguity exists throughout the paragraph. If only one Fromm is present at the base at the time, perhaps establish that and then do away for first names as you currently have done for the paragraph.
    • Try that. Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:59, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
  • "causing it to crash into Sise Fromm's strongold, destroying both" -- both Fromm and the Trigon? Or both the droid and the satellite? Or both Sise Fromm and the droid?
    • Clarified. Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:59, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
  • Can you add who directed the episode they were in? Usually in animation this is a clue as to who designed a particular character, hence why it might be pertinent.
    • Added. Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:59, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

All from me. Excellent work. ~SavageBOB sig 14:00, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

  • The rescue of Dusat/skirmish at Tig's base seems worthy of an article. If so, it would be linked in the intro. Ditto Joben's sabotage of the Trigon One, although this one wouldn't be linked in the intro.
    • Not sure how best to do this. Both of those events (and basically the whole of the first three episodes) happen as part of Kea's mission to destroy the Trigon. Would one article for that suffice? Green Tentacle (Talk) 16:38, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
      • I like that idea; it could account for minor skirmishes like the one in the Vaj desert, too. Menkooroo (talk) 17:19, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
        • Created and linked. Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:58, July 9, 2012 (UTC)
  • The NEGTD names military and security droids as fourth-degree droids. Could this article extrapolate accordingly and give that a quick mention? Also, is there any way to fit that info into the ground vehicle infobox?
    • Added. The vehicle infobox is used because the droid one doesn't allow for speed, but since it's a droid I changed the class field to class four, which seems more appropriate than wheeled. Green Tentacle (Talk) 16:38, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
  • Do you think the sw.com blog's humourous comparison to the US military vehicle is worth a BTS mention, or does it seem too trivia-esque? Menkooroo (talk) 04:12, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
    • I think it's a little on the trivia side. Green Tentacle (Talk) 16:38, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

Comments

  • Wonder if we should update the droid infobox to allow for speed? ~SavageBOB sig 17:05, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
