==Dag==

Seems that Dag didn't actually speak - no-one is listed in the script with that name. The name is from the master "cast list" document, which also specifically lists "man" (the chap who gives out the passes) and "doorman" (duh) identifiable by these monikers in the script itself. He might've had some written lines that didn't make it to the final recording. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 18:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

==BWII Predacon Ship==

You have all those fancy BWII guidebooks, so I figured it would be easier to ask you. What's the name of the ship the Predacon's used in BWII? This one, namely:

And while I'm at it, any name for the Maximal's ship?
Thanks --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 20:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

*Oy! Thanks, Guvnuh! Yukikaze does indeed translate to "Snowy wind" and also happens to be the name of one of the Trainbots from Headmasters. It's a rather popular "kewl" name in Japan, for some reason. I recall there being some anime of the same name, as well. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 01:30, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

== The Greater Ape ==

I saw that you posted something about Primal falling in love in an unproduced Beast Wars episode called "The Greater Ape." This has made me curious. What do you know about this episode? Do you know whether it made it to an outline, a script or storyboards or anything? Do you know anyone who still has a copy of any of the material having to do with this episode? I think it would be really cool to read this lost story. Thanks. [[User:Unicronspawn|Unicronspawn]] 23:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:All we know about it was told to us by the story editors at BotCon 1998. [http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_frm/thread/5f7f5654505d1e93/987a889503b97534?lnk=gst&q=Greater+Ape#987a889503b97534 Rob Powers wrote:]
::''A season 1 episode which never got past the concept stage would have been titled "A Greater Ape", and would have had Primal getting bonked on the head, subsequently thinking he's a real gorilla, hanging out with a bunch of other real gorillas, and hooking up with one of the females of the pack before being restored to normal [NOTE, this episode was NEVER MADE and in all probability NEVER WILL BE MADE]...

:It was shelved because the episode would have required too much new modelling, and thus was cost prohibitive. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 23:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

== Clones ==

Out of curiosity, how were the official qualities revealed? Also, do you know if they'll be given real names (as references to the Seekers), or just something like "Sycophant Clone"?[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 02:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

:I don't know anything about the future of the clones. "Coward Starscream" and "Sycophant Starscream" are the names listed on their model sheets. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 02:54, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

==Category sorting==
Hey, Monzo. There's already something that does that automatically for all categories on the article: <nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:}}</nowiki>. Just put what you want the page to categorize as after the colon (i.e. <nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:McFeely, Chris}}</nowiki>). [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 05:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

==Caption explanation==
"If you want to keep your beer cool, stick it between her legs..." is an allusion to the "frigid bitch" whose vagina is cold, for reasons you can discern.

...Not that I care about it being in the article, mind. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 06:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, the caption is meant to be a Red Dwarf reference, as all the other Starscream clones' main images are (though the Liar Starscream caption has since been changed). All of the captions referred to the character Rimmer, who was a [[Sycophant Starscream|snivelling]], [[Egomaniac Starscream|self-obsessed]], [[Ramjet (Animated)|decietful]] (did I spell that right?), [[Starscream (Animated)|two-faced]] [[Coward Starscream|coward]]. The Female Starscream caption specifically referred to an ep which featured a female Rimmer (though the actual line was "If you want to keep your beer cool, stick it between '''his''' legs...", but meh.

I know he's been here two years. But check his contributions, in two years it's just been talk pages and messing with captions. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 03:07, 3 January 2009 (EST)

:If he's a registered user and isn't actively adding stupidity, I don't see where it's our place to say he can't fiddle with the captions. We don't really have any official policies regarding this matter that I'm aware of, and we really shouldn't, because the idea of creating policies about ''who can make jokes'' is asinine.
:In any event, there wasn't a caption on that image to begin with, so I don't see the harm in him adding one. (Whether or not I think it's actually funny is another matter.) --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 03:18, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Hey Monzo... I'm ''pretty'' sure you were the one with the Chevy Autobots archive. I've got a few additions.
* A [May-10th e-mail http://rapidshare.com/files/268483256/chevyautobots_battlebeginsnow-email.pdf] sent out to users announcing the official opening of the contest. (This originally had pictures in the background... but I'm not sure what ''of'', since they're of course loading off the now-defunct domain. Presumably of whoever your 'contact' was at that point in the campaign. Sphinx?)
* Some [http://rapidshare.com/files/268486340/chevy_misc_swfs.rar miscellaneous .swf files] from the game. These aren't playable themselves... but combined with a .swf decompiler, they'll allow you to view the whole finale sequence. :-) (I wish I'd saved them all, but I never expected the site to just vanish like that. At least I've got the most important ones.) -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 16:12, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

== Mega's armor pic ==

Were you planning on reuploading the screencap elsewhere? Because screencaps are generally preferable to character models when the image is in the Fiction section, aren't they? --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 04:17, 20 November 2009 (EST)
:I wasn't planning on re-uploading the screenshot anywhere, no. I assumed that because Chris McFeely both wrote up and screen-shotted the article himself that there simply aren't any better images of her in her armor within the series proper. Thus, I figured that the model shot worked better than the screenshot because it showed the entire design. (The screenshot isn't terribly context-specific, for that matter, so I didn't feel any qualms about replacing it. I plan to change Giga's, too.) --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 04:25, 20 November 2009 (EST)
::Well I'm no Masterforce expert but I'm pretty sure the general rule for images in the fiction section is to use images from said fiction.... --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 04:27, 20 November 2009 (EST)
:::I actually remember there being a conversation about this a while ago... ah, here it is.

:::http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image_talk:Primal_FPUnivBio.jpg

:::It doesn't look like the issue was really resolved. In Mega and Giga's cases, though, the art isn't even in a different style from the show, since it's their colored character models - Walky's issue of stylistic difference doesn't apply. The purpose of the original two images was, simply, to show them in their armor, which these do, but now you can see their leg details. I don't really see a good reason to NOT use these pictures. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 04:41, 20 November 2009 (EST)
