Not really sure what Seibertron forum this should belong in, but I just wanted to show this off. It's a chart I've made of all the main toys of each Transformer character for each line. Of course, it isn't complete yet, but I just wanted to know what you all think of it so far. Click the link below to view the chart on my Deviantart page:

I'd argue that Sideswipe and (Armada) Side Swipe are not the same.

They're not the same character, but they share the same name, so both are included.

...Eh... I can't say that I agree with the way you've set up your chart.

You describe it as a chart of "the main representation of each character from different lines," but you include figures who don't homage the same character. You're contradicting yourself.

For example, you include Armada Ironhide (the minicon), RiD Grimlock, and Armada Side Swipe, who have nothing to do with the characters they happen to share a name with (or almost share a name with, in the case of Side Swipe).

I would change the description to "a table of characters who share the same name."

If you want to arrange a table by what they homage, you would want Armada Wheeljack in the Sideswipe row, as he homages G1 Sideswipe (in appearance at least).

This.
I'm watching Tthe F RiD (Car Robo) toon right now and I assure you that the member of the Build Team Grimlock have nothing to do with the good old Dinobot.

So, following that idea, include Ironhide in the RiD slot. The Ironhide who is a Spychanger and change into a cow-panerned truck.

Also,"sharing the same name" is better than being the "same character". When the universe change, often the character also change completely, even it's personality. For example, Starscream in Armada and Energon are really different from the other who just want to overthrow Megatron.
