• Transformers (disambiguation) → Transformers
• Transformers → Transformers (franchise)

– No primary topic, though many of the other uses derive from the franchise there is also the generic meaning per WP:PLURALPT. The franchise has 22,842 views but the film series has 96,416, the film has 48,994, the TV series has 14,221, the movie has 12,224 and the toy line has 4,365[[1]]. The generic meaning has 33,553[[2]]. It therefore seems likely that there isn't a primary topic by usage and there isn't one by long-term significance.

• Oppose. This article covers every topic listed in the nomination, so I do not see what the improvement of pointing to the DAB page is supposed to be. It's not like Transformers (disambiguation) is awash in non-Transformers topics. Why would a reader want that over this article? Nohomersryan (talk) 21:34, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

  It doesn't cover the generic meaning. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:01, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose, I reckon the franchise is PRIMARY, or at the very least a good landing spot.--Ortizesp (talk) 23:58, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose: I believe the franchise is the primary topic. Aoba47 (talk) 00:20, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
• Support the generic meaning is the primary topic—blindlynx 14:21, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
• Oppose. The nomination would only make sense if Transformers would redirect to to Transformer. As said above, Transformers (disambiguation) is all about Transformers franchise, so it would still basically be PRIMARY. So we should keep this landing spot, per Ortizesp. --Quiz shows 15:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

  Transformer would also be added to Transformers (disambiguation) which would allow readers to easily get to either meanings. Usage is split between 2 largely unrelated meanings and the DAB would allow readers to navigate to the many related uses more quickly. I don't think the device is primary for the plural but the franchise isn't either so the DAB as the main landing spot seems best. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:09, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

• Oppose. The franchise is the primary topic, all other entries are named after it. The unrelated electronic device is located at transformer, a natural disambiguation. JIP | Talk 10:22, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
