80.175.243.34: /* Jetfire/Dark Skyfire */ new section

== Jazz Captions ==
Was that you who changed them while not signed in or something? I wasn't sure, because 1) the jokes seemed more random, and 2) there's a glaring typo in the third ("wants" doesn't require an apostrophe), so I thought they were altered by one of the many anonymous-IP newcomers.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 18:44, 1 April 2009 (EDT)

== The Fallen pic ==

You uploaded a pic with a URL on it, specifically, the site that leaked the first image of The Fallen. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 18:14, 4 June 2009 (EDT)

== ROTF spoilers ==

We ain't doin' the plot spoilers yet, mate. Let us revel in our exclusive knowledge a little longer. :) - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 19:31, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

==Gigerlicious==
"Gigerlicious" is the nickname of a fan whose real name is Patrick. Hooper wasn't addressing you when he changed the caption. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 22:23, 27 June 2009 (EDT)

== This bugged me ==
You attacked someone for having an anti-McCarthy bias, and it wasn't Detour? You're wasting your time on the small fry. - [[User:Cattleprod|Cattleprod]] 13:08, 17 July 2009 (EDT)

== Voice actor photos ==

[[Transformers_Wiki:Images#Image_description]]. We can't do this for you since we don't know where you got the images from. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 12:48, 23 July 2009 (EDT)

== Maximus ==

Aw come on... but if we shall be consistent, shall we remove the joke from the [[Matrix (disambiguation)|Matrix]] then? [[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] 17:39, 4 August 2009 (EDT)

== Citation needed ==

[http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Hugo_Weaving&diff=336842&oldid=336840 on this edit]. I can't find the article and it's around on Wikipedia and related sites without a source. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:39, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

== Templates ==

How about this?

{{messagebox
|justification=left
|header=Uhh?
|message_text=Rad's never heard of that "fan term". And neither have we, as a matter of fact.
|image_name=E01 rad gawps.jpg
|image_width=100px
|mouseover=What did you say?
|width=100%
}}

And don't say "[[dull surprise]]". --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 12:59, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

== Check the edit history! ==

Dude, seriously, check the full edit history before you revert edits. That anon undid an erroneous caption on Bruticus (dudicus be Onslaught, not Bruticus. Because they have to make it rhyme in the commercial), as well as removing information that shouldn't be on Rumble's page (Robot Chicken stuff, which is why there's no Prostate Cancer on Prime's page, or flu-stricken Devastator, or whatever else). --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 16:36, 9 October 2009 (EDT)

== US Army article ==

(My apologies if this was already discussed elsewhere and it isn't on the article's talk page for some reason). When an anonymous user makes a significant edit and for some reason it is wrong, then he or she deserves an explanation to why it is being removed. Just removing it without saying anything pretty much guarantees that they're not going to bother returning. Also, the person did bring up some valid points that needed to be retained, even if we weren't going to use all of their edits. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 20:27, 18 October 2009 (EDT)

==Ramjet==
If you're going to remove images from an article, don't leave them floating free in database space. Put them on a character's talk page under an "extra pic" header. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 22:23, 23 December 2009 (EST)

== Jetfire/Dark Skyfire ==

"I've never heard of a ghost Jetfire."

it was mentioned about a few paragraphs up in that same article, under classics jetfire's toy bio, which is the same mold as dark skyfire and talks of a black and silver repaint previously shown on TV.

i've not replaced the removed text though, because i honestly can't be bothered with the wiki tug-o-war.

Show-accuracy

2009-09-08T21:35:27Z

80.175.243.34:

[[Image:Ratchet-charactermodel.jpg|right|300px|thumb|So when we were kids, some of us pretended that he combined with that sled thing to make the full robot. But that's just [[Personal canon|crazy talk]].]]
Transformers characters are frequently represented in multiple different media, ranging from plastic toys to animation to comic books. Their appearances frequently vary between these, leading many fans to select one version that represents the character's "real" appearance and rate others in terms of their similarity to this one. '''Show-accuracy''' is typically a toy's resemblance to the animation's depiction of the same character; conversely, '''toy-accuracy''' is a show character's degree of similarity to the corresponding toy.

In most cases, Transformers are designed as toys first, with cartoon and comic [[Character model|character models]] being artists' interpretations of the toy designs. As such, for the most part, it is toy-accuracy that has the most relevance to the production process. A notable exception to this rule is ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', which featured a large group of new characters whose toys were (for the most part) based on animation designs, rather than vice-versa.

Occasionally, toy and fiction designs are created cooperatively, such as the case of the [[Movie (franchise)|live-action movie]] toys and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]]'' series. [[Hasbro]] worked closely with [[Industrial Light & Magic|ILM]] and [[Cartoon Network]] to ensure that the fictional designs for each series were workable as toys and that they could get the toys and fiction as close visually as possible (accounting, of course, for the movie and toy line's differing production schedules).

Another exception frequently happens with [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s releases of Transformers [[Franchise|franchises]] in Japan. Due to the delays in importing shows, Takara frequently has the chance to tweak their releases to resemble the respective animation models better, mostly in regard to color schemes. The most notable example of this was the Japanese release of ''[[Beast Machines (franchise)|Beast Machines]]'' as ''Beast Wars Returns''; the [[Beast Machines (cartoon)|cartoon]] had already been around for years, so it was far easier for Takara simply to produce the toys in different, show-based colors.

In early ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' in particular, toy-accuracy and show-accuracy are both frequently very low, with the [[Character model|character models]] differing greatly from the toys. Recently, however, the gap has narrowed, and [[Cybertron (cartoon)|modern fictional appearances]] of Transformers are often nearly identical to the toys, sometimes to the absurdly literal point of including design oddities that probably wouldn't exist on "real" Transformers. The [[Character model|character model]] for [[Evac (Cybertron)|Evac]], for example, includes the push button that spins the toy's rotor blades.

In a few cases, ''Generation 1'' [[Generation 1 reissues|reissues]] have been [[Retool|retooled]] to enhance their resemblance to their animated counterparts. In the case of the [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] reissue, Takara not only retooled the toy but went so far as to [[Redeco|redeco]] it.

Various non-transforming toys have been made that are designed to resemble ''Generation 1'' cartoon character designs better. Several [[Action Master|Action Masters]] bore closer resemblance to their animation models (though many had color differences, if not outright sculpt issues). More recently, there have been lines such as the highly cartoon-accurate [[Super Collection Figure#Mega SCF|Mega SCF]] line and the [[Revoltech]] line. (Though their designs ''specifically'' resemble Dreamwave's art style rather than ''Generation 1'' cartoons, Dreamwave's designs are frequently heavily based on ''Generation 1''-based models.)

Many non-posable (or at least, not ''very'' posable) figurines exist based on animation models as well, such as the [[Super Collection Figure|Heroes of Cybertron]] (or "SCF", not to be confused with Mega SCF) line, [[Titanium Series]] Robot Masters (not to be confused with [[Robot Masters]]), or stylized examples like the [[Robot Heroes (toyline)|Robot Heroes]] line.

Additionally, several newer Transformers take ''Generation 1'' cartoon designs into account to varying degrees, such as the [[Optimus Prime (G1) toys#20th Anniversary.2FMasterpiece|Masterpiece]] figures, Robot Masters figures, or more abstractly show-accuracy-inspired examples like the [[Titanium Series|Titanium Cybertron Heroes G1 figures]] and the ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' and ''[[Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' lines. Occasionally, new designs for a given series resemble old G1 characters for whom there were no adequately show-accurate likenesses produced originally—for instance, ''Energon'''s heavily G1-esque [[Megatron (Armada) toys#Energon|Galvatron]].

Similarly, [[Jetfire]]'s original G1 cartoon design deliberately bore little resemblance to the toy-line for licensing reasons, and with subsequent reissues Jetfire has come to resemble the cartoon design more accurately.

Unreleased toy

For more images, please visit the '''[[:Category:Unreleased toys/Gallery|Gallery]]'''.</div>

For every [[Toy|Transformer]] that makes it to store shelves, there are always some that fall by the wayside. Lines get canceled, retailers back off on exclusives, designs go over budget, focus groups pass on a concept, or maybe they just weren't cool enough. Regardless of the whys and wherefores, this article aims to document the '''unreleased toys''' that never quite saw retail.

Note that this list will likely never be "complete," as for every concept design that makes it into collectors' hands, a countless number wind up in the garbage can.
