I'm really not enjoying the latest slew of bio notes. They aren't bio notes at all, they're just a small story blurb. "[x] character is fighting [y] character! (Buy their toys now). It's a waste of space when they could be giving them legit personalities. Cute to cross-reference, not so cute when it's just one boring fight and not some character-defining relationship. If it were, say, along the lines of BM Thrust's bio referencing Waspinator, or G1 Sunstreaker and Sideswipe's bios mentioning their being brothers, that's a different story. A bio should define a character, not a single small conflict they happened to take part in.
Also, Seaspray is definitely a Mega/Voyager.

Re: Seaspray!
It makes more sense if the toy is an update of an existing character, like Ironhide is. Then it's okay, because Ironhide already had a toy and two movies to be a character in.
Re: Seaspray!
note: I am moving this thread to the movie section. (The packaging places Seaspray firmly in context with the movie.)
I have to disagree with 86 about the new bio notes. It is always better to show than tell. Saying that a character is mean and nasty or kind and gentle is one thing. Describing a scenario where they show those qualities is quite another. Look at BWP's observations about ROTF Seaspray being aggressive. That was based on a description of his fighting style, (when engaging his cross-sell), rather than the bio note saying "he fights mean".

Re: Seaspray!
Why's this in the reviews section, though?

Re: Seaspray!
I think I accidently clicked it there before moving it to the movie section. My bad. I think the ghost threads vanish after a bit though.
