Talk:Battle Frankies/General Franky

Swordsman?
Are you sure the "robot" is a swordsman? Isn't Franky the swordsman (despite his crappy swordplay), not the robot? 01:24, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

I saw the robot as the swordsman since it was the one actually holding and working the sword, even though Franky was controlling it. I compared it to what Doflamingo did with Atmos. Atmos was using his swords while Doflamingo controlled him, but that doesn't make Doflamingo a swordsman, since Atmos was the one using them. Same idea here, only a different method of control. 01:41, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

But if the "robot" is a swordsman, wouldn't it make more sense that it's a cyborg? Part-living, part-machinery. 02:49, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Well, it wouldn't be a cyborg since the robot itself has no biological components, just Franky controlling it. If you think of it that way, every ship and vehicle would be a cyborg since it has mechanical components with a human controlling them. If we consider Franky the swordsman, then couldn't he have been considered a Devil Fruit user on Thriller Bark when he docked with Chopper? I think "swordsmen" should only apply to the robot itself and not Franky. 04:01, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

But Franky swung the sword while wearing the robot. And if we go by the way you said, then wouldn't Brachio Tank V be a sniper, due to Usopp firing it? 05:08, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure, because if that's the case then we could also say Usopp's Kabuto is a sniper and then that would bring almost every weapons user into question. I guess you're right, maybe we should leave it off and not have it on either of them. 05:13, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

I dont see why not. Its a Robot okay, but he uses swords: making him a swordsman. Its not like a ship..

Franken
Should Franken get its own page since it is a sword and every other named sword has a page? We should be consistent, I think. 05:54, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

The sword is an attachment. Not necessary, I think. --Klobis 06:12, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Agree with Klobis, would be another unnecessary stub page. 12:13, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Just a question: you mean like the Big Elimination Cannon that links into the 8th Branch or the Eagle Launcher that links into Shepherd? 18:35, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

BF-38 (Merge?)
All other "Battle Frankies " are lumped under the collective epynonymous page to sort them out, including the first 35, and both of Franky's cyborg bodies (BF 36 and BF 37). Given that the Franky Shogun is (quite clearly) BF 38, shouldn't it be merged with the Battle Franky page?

Franky's changes are on tabs. This is like 'Mini Merry' or 'Shark Submerge' that have their own page.

I completely agree with this proposition, also its name is a bit too long so its even better if it will be called BF 38, its annoying to write search Iron Pirate Franky Shogun or link it somewhere, too long

(like my sig XD)

Change its name? Its a given name from the manga. No need to 'change' it cause its too long.

This doesnt need to be merged cause things like that deserver their own page.

Not true, BF 38 is mentioned in the tabs and all the other frankies like BF 36 and 37, so why not add another tab for the BF 38, it will have its own page T_T

BF 38 is also a given namr in the manga, as the picture makes clear
