Talk:Octostomp

Shouldn't this be a redirect?
Octowhirl, Octonozzle, Octomaw, and Octobot are redirect pages, and this one was too. Why isn't it anymore? I always type "Octostomp" whenever I'm trying to get to The Mighty Octostomp! and I think a lot of other people do too, seeing how many views this page has gotten since it was changed yesterday. --Bzeep (talk) 12:10, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed, reverted back. If anyone wants to flesh out this article, they should do it in one go and not blank the page/put construction templates on it as it is a high-traffic page. 12:19, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Seeing as some people are going to want the character while others want the mission, I think we should just create a disambiguation (Like what we did with the Octolings).

Octo Expansion
So does the Octostomp's quote (equivalent to "Back like I never left") in other languages also translate to that or something similar? If not, then we shouldn't take it as evidence that the Sanitized Octostomp doesn't remember battling Agents 3 and 4. ThighFish (talk) 22:30, 8 December 2020 (UTC)ThighFish

Why the 'he'?
So uh this is probably a stupid question, but why is the Octostomp referred to with he/him pronouns when all the other Octoweapons use it/its? The Octostomp is a machine (as far as I know) and the 'the' in front of its/his/whatever's name implies that it's an object and not a person (like how you would say 'Joe' and not 'the Joe). On the The Mighty Octostomp! and The Octostomp Returns pages, the Octostomp is called an it, even though Marie and Sheldon call him (or it?) a he. So what's with the inconsistency? Am I just missing something? Avery_TSP ( conversing ) 15:23, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think 'the' in the name implies it's an object, more that the name is a nickname or a title: for example The Terminator, The Rock, The Incredible Hulk. Perhaps one part is machine (the weapon) and the other male part is an Octarian? As female Octolings would go off for Elite training, and the males are sent as cannon fodder or to operate the machines. 20:56, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, that makes sense. That's a cool theory actually! Could explain the possible existence of 'guy Agent 8'. ...But uh, what are we doing about the 'he' vs 'it' thing? Uh, I might just lay out the evidence here real quick...
 * Reasons to call him a he
 * Sheldon and Marie refer to him as 'he', along with Pearl and Cap
 * uh
 * Reasons to call it an it
 * it's a machine (but I guess you can still technically gender machines, like kids give their stuffed animals genders?)
 * all the other Octoweapons are called 'it'
 * Not much evidence on either side... I think the right thing to do is go with he, since that's what the in-game characters do? Idk...
