This character article does not establish notability. All of the references in the article only reinforce plot and toy details other than the weird New Yorker reference which I think has nothing to do with the singular character and more of the series. TTN (talk) 19:03, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as there may be sources on Dinobot which could be used for this character; otherwise merge to that article. No solid reason to delete outright. BOZ (talk) 22:37, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's more in need of editing to trim excess fancruft and add third-party reception. If not possible, then merge per reason suggested above. sixtynine ^{• speak up •} 04:25, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Unusually for these Transformers character articles, it does look like there may be some third party sources, but it's hard to judge the extent of coverage in these sources and whether they are sufficient to justify a standalone article. If this is kept, I'd want to see a rewrite. Josh Milburn (talk) 08:35, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - The character appears to be mildly notable. However, his notability is not the same as Optimus Prime, Megatron, or Bumblebee. This is coming from a person who has barely watched the Transformers series. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 01:13, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for same basic reasoning as Yoshiman6464, and ditto I'm also somebody who has never watched it either. Mathmo ^Talk 06:48, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
