66.159.179.8: /* Formatting */

== Japanese Variants ==
Haven't the faintest. I never kept up on variations details. This is more of a question for Harold Tietjens or Fred of Fred's Workshop.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 08:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

== Formatting ==
I was just wondering if the rest of the page (aside from the basic profile) would work better in the toy sections factoid format. I mean, it might give the page a little more visual interest. <small>—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Chiasaur11|Chiasaur11]] ([[User talk:Chiasaur11|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chiasaur11|contribs]]) 00:28, 20 September 2008.</small>
:Since Rewind's one of my fave characters, I gave it a go myself. What do you think? Not exactly the same, but I thought this would be a little less repetitive-looking while still keeping the "factoid" vibe. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 16:23, 20 September 2008 (EDT)
::I like the idea of trivia listing, but I think we may want to keep it out of the fiction sections and restrict it to the intro, toy, and trivia sections. We don't want to be writing stuff Out of Universe. --[[User:SFH|SFH]] 16:55, 20 September 2008 (EDT)
:::Admittedly, Rewind's factoid style doesn't lend itself as well to being properly in-universe the way something like Wheelie's rhyming does. :> Any ideas for a compromise? I kind of like the idea of his article being somehow idiosyncratic, since he's otherwise one of the more obscure, hard-to-remember charcaters... --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 17:08, 20 September 2008 (EDT)
::::''Did you know'' that I like this very much and think it is totally awesome in the new "trivia" format? A-OK! -[[User:Autobus Prime|Autobus Prime]] 09:46, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
:::::I, too, greatly enjoy this article's current format. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 09:56, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

I theeeenk our format for this article might be working against us now that Rewind's actually regularly doing stuff for the first time. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 16:18, 29 July 2012 (EDT)
:Was thinking the same. Maybe take the fiction section out of formatting, leave the rest.--[[Special:Contributions/66.159.179.8|66.159.179.8]] 18:26, 29 July 2012 (EDT)

==Main pic==
As FFN points out, he's kinda in the wrong colors here. I'd just as soon see one of the cartoon screencaps used as his main pic; they show more personality, and we've become far too reliant on MTMTE, TFU, and box art for main pics in general. --[[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 10:20, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
:Walky says it's old timey comic book colours where blue represents black... for the purposes of this wiki it looks like a mistake. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 12:43, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
::It really does, IMO, even though I'm well-conditioned to read that blue-for-black substitution the way it was intended. How about that screencap of him pointing at the ancient symbols? That's utterly perfect -- sums up the character to a T. --[[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 12:50, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
:::Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, since that's my screenshot. I generally prefer full-body shots whenever possible but they are hard to come by for this guy. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 12:55, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
::::We do have a semi-terrible Dreamwave MTMTE profile pic down below in the DW section... one that should be replaced by one of him in actual fiction. Either we move it up or we should delete it and get a better image for the section. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 14:13, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
:::::We should delete that MTMTE pic. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 14:35, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

:::I was going to offer [http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b288/monzo/GuidoGenesisEject.jpg this] for the page, until I realized it was Eject. (Rewind is in fact too near the page crease to be of any use.) --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 14:37, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
::::I'd favor that over [[Eject]]'s current pic.
::::And, screw it. Per my comments here and [[Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal#Character page main images|on the Community Portal]], I'm making the change for Rewind. --[[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 15:30, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
:::::<nowiki>*</nowiki>looks a bit sheepish* Sorry about that... basically, when I went to reformat the page into factoid-style, I decided I ought to fix the fact that the main pic actually was non-existent/redlinked at the time as well... and grabbed the first appropriate-seeming image I could think of so I could just concentrate on the article itself. It completely never occurred to me to just repurpose/move one of the existing pics (cause I agree that that entire scene is pretty much quintessential Rewind). So, er, eheh. --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 18:06, 29 September 2008 (EDT)
