Slizer or Throwbots?

Currently, the page primarily focuses on Throwbots, using that as the default, and then presenting Slizers as the alternative. While I know the Wiki is primarily American, I still find this odd because Slizer is the original, Throwbots is a localization... (Same would apply with Competition and Cyber Slam. I would propose the page be moved to Slizer. ~ Wolk (talk) 09:24, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

I completely agree with this for those exact reasons. Additionally, the story of the Throwbots localization, as presented, is incompatible with the second wave of the line where destruction of the Slizer planet occurs. This incompatibility extends to the actual physical sets where many of the Slizer story aspects are depicted on the disks, including the afformentioned planet.--ToaKebaka (talk) 18:30, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
Yep. The disks always match Slizer -- in fact, the artworks for Throwbots is edited, for instance removing the red eyes in the background, but those can still be seen on the disks. As far as I know, the different storyline was just dropped for the second wave entirely. ~ Wolk (talk) 18:36, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
I'm fine with renaming this article "Slizer" and shifting the focus to Slizer over Throwbots, just as long as we still fully document both versions of the storyline and discuss their differences (as is currently the case in the article). --PeabodySam (talk) 19:17, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
Agreed, both should be documented, it's just a matter of which one we're presenting as the "default", as the current set up makes it sound like Slizer is the "alternate". ~ Wolk (talk) 05:40, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

The image in the table should be the Slizer logo by default and perhaps with a toggle option to Throwbots like the forms of a character have.--ToaKebaka (talk) 10:27, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
