76.0.87.180: /* Hall of Fame */

I have a idea - given the obviousness (and lameness) of the jokes that will eventually appear in this article, I propose that this article will be written entirely 'straight', that is, taken seriously without any jokes. That, in fact, will be the joke - people expect bad jokes from this wiki, so we buck the trend. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:28, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
: What a flaccid page this shall be! -[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
:: That's the joke :D People expect chock-a-block of viagra or erectile dysfunction or other dick-related jokes from this page, so we go in a completely opposite direction and do nothing. It's edgy! It's left-of-field humour! --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Or we could fill the entire article with sophmoric sexual humor...but exercise a complete ban on anything that's even vaguely about erections, just to confuse people. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 07:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Lilformers has a better joke than the crap you get about erections. Why not just say something about his name? One little Micro-Master didn't QUITE make it to name day on time... [[User:86.17.124.125|86.17.124.125]] 14:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Editing the humorous captions is a privilege accorded to editors who have made notable contributions to the wiki. Looking over your contribution history, you're not there yet. I recommend you get an account and find a substantive way to contribute, before editing the humor. [[User:JW|JW]] 15:09, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:For what it's worth, I've got a Wikipedia account which I use for minor edits. And I just moved that username into Teletraan. And there's no reason to accuse me of being like Megatron. I'm smarter than him. [[User:Harley Quinn hyenaholic|Harley Quinn hyenaholic]] 15:22, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::Excellent, thank you for getting an account. Now, please stop editing captions until you've made some substantial contributions. Thank you. [[User:JW|JW]] 15:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== An Idea ==

I've written an alternative version of this at [[User:-Blackout-/Erector]]. Read and discuss, please.

(Before anyone asks: yes, we can take out the Wikipedia-style captions.) --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 12:44, 6 March 2010 (EST)
:Much better. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 12:52, 6 March 2010 (EST)
::Any chance of feedback from other people? I won't mind if you blow the idea to hell, really. :) --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 15:33, 19 March 2010 (EDT)
:::I actually like the snickering about his name in the current article, sorry. Also, your word choice in the above comment is somewhat unfortunate. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 15:46, 19 March 2010 (EDT)
::::What? How? Impossible! Surely it isn't! [endsarcasm]
::::(I hate being a non-native English speaker.) --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 16:24, 19 March 2010 (EDT)

:I don't get that page. The differences are mainly the removal of the "(*snort*)","(*giggle*)" and such. So, what's that supposed to be, anyway? Is there some point I'm missing?

Thought the consensus was HoF bios are in the New Aligned continuity?--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 13:25, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
:Not all bios are aligned, look at the Beast Wars characters. [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] 13:28, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
:: So what decides Erectors is G1 and say Jazz's is NA?--[[Special:Contributions/76.28.76.206|76.28.76.206]] 13:34, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
:::I agree. The BW guys are...different, because nothing like BW exists in the Prime-iverse such as it is so far. But Hasbro has made it clear that everything they do now is supposed to fit into their Grand New Continuity, so I think in the absence of aa reason it ISN'T, we have to assume Erector's bio IS. -[[User:LV|LV]] 13:37, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
::::To be the biggest difference is that there is no "aligned" Erector in any other way other than this bio. Heck, the G1 one barely exists other than a toy and a story page. All the other bios usually take an amalgamation of each "version" of the character. This only has the G1. I see no reason to create an Erector page. However, if Erector appears in the fiction in the future, the bio can move accordingly. --[[User:Bluestreak7|Bluestreak7]] 13:53, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
:::::I sorta agree. Unless we get official word about Erector in specific or he shows up in "aligned" fiction, I don't think splitting out an one-off bio is all that useful. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 13:59, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
::::::There's also the fact that this year's bios are a heck of a lot less "Aligned" than last year's. Jazz has lost the "Prime's best friend" and "Cyber-Ninja" aspects, Shockwave lost his "gets emotional" bit... --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 14:01, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
:::::::I don't see it as losing things they mentioned last year, but just trying not to be repetitive. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:04, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
::::::: I agree that the new bio info should go here, not Erector (Prime) or whatever.... [[Special:Contributions/76.0.87.180|76.0.87.180]] 14:47, 13 April 2011 (EDT)
