Working Title: Five Bad Band: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/discussion.php?id=2a97dk75&trope=FiveBadBand From YKTTW]]

SilentHunter: Could someone else work on this, please?

FastEddie: The description for the Chick analog got a little sidetracked into something about mini-boss squads. I chopped it down to something more about a single role than about another ensemble.

----

Adeon: Regarding Xykon's group from OOTS, I don't think that Tsukiko really qualifies as an EvilGenius, she's more like TheBrute while Redcloak doubles as the evil genius.

---
Diddgery: I ''know'' that Skies of Arcadia's Vaulan Empire could fit in here as well, but I get past Galcian as The Big Bad and Ramirez as The Dragon and get stuck. It's hard trying to figure out where the other five admirals fit.. Vigoro is probably The Brute, and De Loco the Evil Genius and maybe The Dark Chick (because he's so dang zany), but I'm not sure what to do with the other three.

Guest: On the [[FiveBadBand Five Bad Band]] entry for [[MegaManStarForce Mega Man Star Force]] where do Lyra and Libra fit in?

{{KJMackley}}: I took out these because while they may form a similar team dynamic, they are mostly just a QuirkyMinibossSquad. BigBad and TheDragon are very specific story roles, these teams all combine into ''one'' robot.

I also organized everything into mediums, I probably made some mistakes (I don't know every form of media ever listed, despite what my Mom thinks) and it is probably a good idea to split it into different pages like FiveMandBand.

EponymousKid: Okay, that was me who ut those there to begin with, and you're completely right.

On the other hand... yeah, you really really screwed up with the media sorting. No offense, but seriously. It's, like, a lot.

MorganWick: I'm not sure if shoehorning in the Linear Guild really works, if only because the entry says "never less than four". The odd thing about this trope is that the equivalents to the Hero and Lancer have more separate roles from the other three than in a FiveManBand, allowing both roles to double as one of the other three (witness the large Big Bad-to-Evil Genius correlation).

{{Mouser}} The Linear Guild is a TerribleTrio, expanded to ThePsychoRangers by disposable characters. Not every evil FiveManBand has the FiveBadBand dynamic.

RichardAK: Is there any particular reason that someone had to erase the WWE example, and to do so without explain why in the discussion thread?
