Those whose rank are Sub-Commander usually are Second-in-Command. While people who are Second-in-Command are not necessarily in "Sub-Commander" rank. --TX55 09:10, 7 September 2007

Ugh[]
This page -- as of the time I am making this comment -- is terrible. I think it may even be worse than Sub-Commander, simply because there is more junk on it. I disagree with the assertion that Grimlock is second in command "Mainly in every continuity except for G1 Cartoon Series". The references are not nearly specific enough. "Rhinox - He has the ability for leadership" doesn't belong. A simple list format is not going to cut it in more complex cases. Cheetor, for example, was second-in-command during BM, which is actually given a specific citation, but he obviously was not highly-ranked in BW. Cases like that need to be explained right there in the body of the list. Also the English stinks, and the article should be moved to Second-in-command. I know it would be more productive to fix things myself rather than just complain, but there is so much wrong here that I don't have tha patience for it. All that said, I support the idea of this catchall page existing in place of the other articles. --Steve-o 22:05, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- Primal explicitly named Rattrap his second-in-command in Chain of Command. Not Rhinox or Dinobot. -22:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Alternate Suggestions[]
I understand the need (common shared functions have to be covered somewhere), but wouldn't [i]alot[/i] of the problems with pages like this and others like it be solved by just listing the functions(US, Foreign, whatever) in the opening paragraph of every character. Or would that be too much work? Was there a reason functions shunned from in the first place? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.200.150.23 (talk • contribs).
- Many characters have more than one function. Their functions apply at least to their tech-specs-continuity incarnations, but not always to their depictions in comic or cartoon media. Listing functions on character pages without accompanying lists or categories would make it impossible to find characters with related jobs. --Steve-o 23:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
War For Cybertron[]
Shockwave is explicitly stated to be Megatron's second-in-command as of WFC. Soundwave was, as always, a trusted lieutenant but not his right-hand. Same with Starscream when he and the Seekers joined the Decepticons. So why am I seeing all over articles here, including the listings on this one, that Megatron had three second-in-commands when that in itself is not sensible thinking or even possible? --24.187.168.103 07:09, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
