Besides the spelling of its name, and a different flipper model, does Invertabrat belong in the "alternate versions" category? Toon Ganondorf (t c) 20:26, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Upon inspection, almost all of the components (wheels, flipper, paintjob, bludgeoner) appear to be changed. I thought that was enough to consitiute an "alternate version", but you seem to have a better grasp of the concept, so I'll leave the decision to you. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas.

Yeah, Roobarb, Pussycat, Razer, Spawn Again and Hypno-Disc have all made significant changes in their careers, but I don't think enough to make it part of this category. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 21:03, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Move to Inverterbrat

I believe we should rename this article to Inverterbrat. The name change wasn't a case of making a new name for a successor, it was a case of the team improving their choice of spelling for a similar machine. We don't use Thermador, we use Thermidor 2, so we should go with Inverterbrat here, surely? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ToastUltimatum (talkcontribs)

I don't see any particular reason why it should be changed. They entered one series under each name, so I don't think it really matters which name we use for the article. Christophee (talk) 21:45, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
If they were equal in usage, then by my logic, we should go by the more recent name. Surely if the team decided to change the spelling, it's because they prefer Inverterbrat, so I think we should go by that. ToastUltimatum 22:31, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
Well, as I say, I don't feel strongly either way. If you can get other people's support, then I have no objection to the name being changed. Christophee (talk) 12:25, November 24, 2012 (UTC)
Three years later, I'll return to this and simply say; if there's no opposition within the next few days, Invertabrat will be moved to Inverterbrat. ToastUltimatum 19:37, March 24, 2016 (UTC)

Opposition here - I don't see why it should be changed, as the original bot was called Invertabrat, not inverterbrat-that was the second name. RavenclawDBS (MCKA DevilboyScooby) 14:55, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

It's the same principle for, e.g., Beserk 2 and Henry 2. They technically were name changes, but aren't separate pages. RavenclawDBS (MCKA DevilboyScooby) 14:57, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
