Artistic quality never approached the standards of Dreamwave's later books.
WTF!?

I LIKED the Carwash of Doom. You losers just hate the connotation of the title. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 21:14, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
:LOL! That's actually one bit of Marvel Wiki-ness that I ''can't'' take credit (blame?) for. Suffice it to say, I'd be perfectly happy if you decided it needed editing to something less opinionated.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 21:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Soo... 'Marvel Comics' has a landing page- but Marvel UK doesn't. And the Marvel Comics page doesn't mention or link to the Marvel UK page.

I mention because there's a whole mess of characters who need a 'Marvel UK portion of Generation 1' note in their opening note- and it'd be nice if there was a Marvel UK article to meet that need. As is I'm linking to <nowiki>[[Generation 1 (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK]]</nowiki>, which is both a pain in the ass and messy.

I know nothing about Marvel UK, so I cant' write a landing page.

Also, why does this article start with 'it's a little known fact that'? That's a '''terrible''' way to start an article. It comes off as bossy and know-it-all, like the bitch Margaret from Dennis the Menace. (Uh, the cartoon.) -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 16:10, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

=="Restored", Oct 21 2007==
My overzealous touchpad was activated during the typing of that edit and decided "Restored" was quite enough of a change summary. I originally was going to say "Restored 'Marvel Zombies', previously taken out without justification by an unregistered IP circa September."

I also thought that every sentence should end with an exclamation point, but I don't have sufficient Bullpens to check that against, so I didn't change it. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 12:28, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

== Planet Terry? ==
What the heck was that? I had almost all the Marvel UK run and recognise all the other back up strips but I don't remember that one at all.[[Special:Contributions/86.31.251.98|86.31.251.98]] 09:44, 29 October 2010 (EDT)

86.31.251.98: /* Sidearm feet */

It needs to be added that Sideswipe has a legends toy. I am in posession of it right now.
Cheers! -[[Special:Contributions/74.170.18.35|74.170.18.35]] 09:16, 30 May 2009 (EDT)Proconix

New here. Just wondering why there's a "Not yet released sign at Sideswipe's FAB section. I know i have already seen it on sale for a while -Treadshot A1

== Caption Change Request ==

I'd like to change the caption of the Legends Sideswipe toy to "Whoa! I never even knew I had these driving claws!" because Sideswipe's heels can be unfolded in vehicle mode to resemble the driving claws that Armada Hot Shot had. I don't have the deluxe version so I don't know if that one can do it too. [[Special:Contributions/84.69.143.180|84.69.143.180]] 07:51, 14 September 2009 (EDT)

:No. Captions are an award for contributing. Information first, then the humour. [[User:Metal Gear NOIZE|Metal Gear NOIZE]] 08:59, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
::Well, that's what makes it a Caption Change REQUEST. If enough of us think his caption's funnier (and '''I''' like it, but I'm biased), then it could be changed. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 09:07, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
:::I'm not exactly sold, given that the one we have now is pretty good. --[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 12:27, 14 September 2009 (EDT)
::::Okay. Movie Swerve has yet to have a pic for his Legends toy so maybe when he does, the caption could be used there instead. [[Special:Contributions/84.69.143.180|84.69.143.180]] 11:18, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
:::::You mean IF he does.--[[User:-Blackout-|-Blackout-]] 11:36, 15 September 2009 (EDT)

== Zoolander reference? ==
I noticed that Hasbro said in the March 2010 Q&A answers for [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?s=d10ab71f63bb8dcedc22cc2162437e6e&showtopic=67971&st=0&p=1496519&#entry1496519 the Allspark] that the Legends class Bluesteel Sideswipe is a "reference to one the team's favorite comedies."
Now, there are two movies with the title "Blue Steel", but those could only be called comedies if you were viciously critical. However, "Blue Steel" also crops up as a fairly prominent term in Zoolander, so that's most likely the movie to which they're referring. Anyone else feel this is worth a mention in the trivia section? -- [[User:Ayellowbirds|Ayellowbirds]] 20:16, 30 April 2010 (EDT)

== Light piping ==

My Sidearm Sideswipe has red light-plastic in the back of his head, but he has blue eyes. When held up to a damn powerful light source, however, they glow red. In his stock photography, however, he has one blue and one red eye. Should this info be added to the page?

== Sidearm feet ==
Should it be mentioned that for some reason the feet on Sidearms Sideswipe are extremely movie-accurate if you turn them around and tuck in the now frontal toe bit underneath (using the one now at the back to help support him)? It makes me wonder why the instructions and stock photos (ok the photos for most TF's are nearly always mistransformed anyways) have the feet the 'wrong' way.
