1) This article should be capitalized.
2) Are we even for sure this is the actual name of the series? I know it caught on in the fandom, but I remember something about it not being a very literal translation. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it's just "Smallest Transformers". "World's" was added because the fandom tends to be retarded. [[User:Interrobang|Interrobang]] 07:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
::'''Technically''' technically, I believe they are the "Smallest Transforming Transformers" in English. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 13:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

:::Might as well just keep the name as it is. Do you really want to start depending on Takara's engrish? :P --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 13:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

::::That's not what I mean; there's no English on the toys, as far as I know. The literal name of what they ARE, from Japanese, is "Smallest Transforming Transformers". --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 14:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::I vote we move to <nowiki>[[Smallest Transformers]]</nowiki>. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:02, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::I'm going with <nowiki>[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]</nowiki>. 20:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::::I think <nowiki>[[Smallest Transformers]]</nowiki> is better, just because we don't have [[Minerva]] at "Minelba." As FFN says above, we don't want to depend on Takara's Engrish. That way leads madness. I'd rather have the best translation rather than the most literal one. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 21:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::It's definitely closest to "Smallest Transforming Transformers" (literally, "Smallest Transformation Transformers" or "Incredibly Small Transformation Transformers). "Smallest Transformers" is a reasonable English rendition if that feels redundant, though. -[[User:Swift|Swift]] 23:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::::::Yeah, the "Smallest Transforming" stuff isn't Engrish, it's pure Japanese. I'd be inclined to call it by "Smallest Transforming Transformers" (since the claim seems to be that these are the smallest Transformers toys capable of transforming...) --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 02:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't test shots pop up once of things like Smallest Transformers SKIDS and stuff? Or am I just hallucinating about Skids?
: Not a hallucination. Forgot what happened to him. Think he was supposed to be in a new one with Hot Rod, but Wave 2.5 happened and then we got nothing else. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 03:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
:: The Takara website calls the mini-Autrooper that comes with the Atari figurine by the same Smallest Transforming Transformer name. But would we include it as a "wave", or just as trivia like the solo-release Hot Rod? -[[User:Swift|Swift]] 04:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Happy Engrish Fun Man Day, everybody! --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 10:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not Engrish! "Clerken" and "Minelba" are Engrish. "I feel asleep" is Engrish. This is an attempt to '''reflect what the toyline is called in the country it's actually sold in'''. "WSTF" is another "Transformers 2000", except it can't be debunked as easily because the name itself is ambiguous. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 12:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

== Names ==

Shouldn' we be referring to the toys by their Japanese names since they were only released in Japan?--[[User:Nevermore|Nevermore]] 10:45, 1 September 2010 (EDT)

== Scale ==

Nothing here says how big the toys are. Could one of them be shown with an object or ruler to establish how small these things are? --[[Special:Contributions/173.175.84.128|173.175.84.128]] 14:47, 15 December 2010 (EST)
