Talk:Hasbro Q&A/May 2010: Question submission

Would asking what factors are considered to greenlight a mold that most likely won't get reused be considered a corporate matter, or does that mean some of the deeper stuff (i.e. corporate politics)? - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 10:47, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
:Went ahead with my question. The worst that can happen is that it gets deleted. If BotCon 2010 uses Classics (2006) Astrotrain for Sky-Byte, I'm going to cry. - [[User:Zadok Rox|Zadok Rox]] 22:57, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
::Sky-Byte's a redeco of [[Sharkticon (Energon)]], ISTR. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 23:09, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
:::Have we had that confirmed? I mean everyone's assuming it is because it's by far the best choice, but has FP actually said so?--[[User:ZacWilliam|ZacWilliam]] 07:58, 27 April 2010 (EDT)
::::It's not confirmed. That's why it's not on his page, because we don't know yet, but it's a pretty good guess. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 08:52, 27 April 2010 (EDT)

== Animated Blitzwing ==

I guess it's a good question, remember way back when Galvatron's second alt mode was revealed on Seibertron?[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 20:28, 27 April 2010 (EDT)
: It's not a good question because we know exactly what they're for. They're not buttons. They compress so he fits together better in vehicle mode. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 20:35, 27 April 2010 (EDT)
::Thank you, I didn't have a clue that they were supposed to be for that. Can I delete my question? The one about Logos Prime is more worthy.[[User:ACIDSTORM92|ACIDSTORM92]] 22:52, 28 April 2010 (EDT)

== Character death ==
Did I miss the Hasbro Question Submission? There was an "edit" button, and I logged in, and it vanished... but if it's not too late, I was wondering how Hasbro decides whether or not a major character can be permanently killed off. I've read that in official works, permission must be granted for this. I've never really edited before, so if this is wrong, feel free to delete... --[User:Cyberduck]

==Comics issues==
Is there a reason you've changed naming conventions midstream after moving ''dozens'' of articles to what was up until your moving of [[The War Within]]'s issues a consistent system?--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]] 00:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
: Yeah, I screwed up at first, sorry. "Part" or "issue" is not part of the actual title. I will go back and fix, but I definitely think that for the parts of a miniseries, each issue should be the miniseries title, followed by the "part" in parentheses. Reason being, "part", "issue" or "number" is arbitrary and again, not part of the official title. --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 00:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
::If that's the case, I think you could probably convince Walky or Suki to have a mass bot edit to get everything in the proper format. Bots can do moves faster than we can (and thus faster than I can revert these :P) because user edits/moves are throttled in rate.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]] 00:34, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
::: Would ya mind backing me up, being that you've been on this wiki longer than I and due to my recent screwup, I'll probably be ignored? ;) --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 00:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
::::[[Transformers_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal#Comic_Issues_Naming_Convention|This]] should get the ball rolling on that.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]] 00:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I've got all the War Within issues moved to the same format. They can be bot-moved after that, since they all match.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]] 02:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

== On articles and the moving thereof ==

Please use the move tool when moving a page instead of copy/pasting the article. That way, the page's edit history is preserved. If you are unable to move the page due to another page being at the new location let either ItsWalky or Suki Brits know, and they'll get it moved. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 20:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I understand you're probably impatient to get all the comic issues named consistently, but I really wish you hadn't done another batch of moves considering there was no consensus reached yet in the discussion on the community portal talk page. If you want to get things rolling, make a fuss there to draw attention and get more opinions. Don't just move pages around; it's quite possible we're just going to have to move them again, and there is no reason to make all that extra work. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 23:11, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

== For further reference... ==

It's [[James Raiz]], not Riaz. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 11:47, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
:Thanks for the heads up... --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 13:17, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

== Hearts of Steel ==

Some of the "corrections" you're making to the Hearts of Steel articles are actually wrong. For example, if you look in the TPB, you will see that it's "Insectrain", ''not'' "Insectitrain". Also, the weird spelling of "eklectrical" was exactly the way it appears in the comic.

I welcome correction when I'm wrong. Please don't do it when I'm right. [[User:JW|JW]] 01:43, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: Sorry man, was doing in from memory while at work. That's why we're all here to catch stuff like this. --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 02:12, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

== Double Redirects ==

If the urge should strike you, you might check out the [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] page. I gather a lot of those are due to pages you've moved? I'll probably get to them eventually, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention, since you're pretty good about fixing stuff like that up. [[User:JW|JW]] 17:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
:No need. I just knocked 'em out.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 18:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
With your recent slew of moves, I'm going to point you in the direction of the [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] page again . . . [[User:JW|JW]] 01:39, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

==Character box name listing==
Hi, why did you list the names in the character box alphabetically? We only do the listing alphabetically if we have no intention of noting their order of appearance (like in the Movie article). As it stands, listing the names alphabetically forces one to search for the number rather than seeing who appeared in what order in a logical manner. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 01:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
:Oh, I wasn't aware of that standard. Yet another reason for these things to be added to the FAQ :) --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 20:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
::No worries, even though we've been listing it by appearance for over a year now, we're actually arguing about it [[Transformers Wiki talk:Style guide (comic issues)|*here*]]. You can chip in your opinion if you like :) --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 20:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

== Factions and history ==

Actually, unless I'm mistaken Jhiaxus and Nova Prime just predate the ''Decepticons'', not the Autobots. The Prime, as well as the government of Cybertron, are all Autobots to my knowledge. That seems to be how IDW is playing it.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 06:24, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
:Take a look at the Galvatron Spotlight. I don't have it in front of me, but he said something like "before factions" referring to the time when he, Nova and Jhiaxus disappeared on the Ark-1. So none of the Dead Universe folks would be aligned with any faction. --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 15:31, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
::I'm mainly judging by the fact that we've termed [[Nova Prime]] an Autobot on this wiki, and have had a few [http://transformers.wikia.com/index.php?title=Nova_Prime&diff=112829&oldid=112823 edits] keeping that the case. Bear in mind that being "before factions" could easily just mean that Galvatron predates the Cybertronian civil war, and thus existed when the Autobots were the dominant (and perhaps only) faction.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 15:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

==Comic image upload credits==
Regarding those covers you've uploaded: [[Transformers_Wiki:Images#Artist_credit|According to our current image standards,]] we've stopped saying 'art by' (insert name of penciller), since it disregards the work of the inkers and colourists. We now list all known artists individually, and we don't know who inked it or who coloured it, we leave a question mark so that one day it may be filled. This applies even if the issues themselves say 'Art by'. Lately I've been using this template as created by Jackpot.

*'''Pencils:'''
*'''Inks:'''
*'''Colors:'''
*'''Letters:'''

Let me know what you think. Thanks. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 00:09, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for doing the gallery on Dinobot Hunt. (And possibly elsewhere, I just noticed it on Dinobot Hunt.) -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 22:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits">

== City of Fear covers ==

Appreciate your corrections and captions, but FYI, even after you changed the image names, four of the six cover images are showing up blank, at least when I view the page via Firefox on an iMac (just in case that's significant).--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 00:57, 6 April 2009 (EDT)
:Thanks. Yes, I'm afraid I don't have all the covers yet to upload so some are placeholders. I bet I forgot the <nowiki>{{picsneeded}}</nowiki> tag didn't I? ;) --MistaTee 04:41, 6 April 2009 (EDT)
::(I'm transferring your response to this page for ease of following the conversation.) Ah, that would explain it. I'm used to missing images just being red links, and I didn't consider that you'd change a file name in advance when you didn't have the actual file on hand yet.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 07:02, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

==WFC==
I've checked. Four times. It's Starscream. Skywarp never appears in the trailer. It's just dark lighting. [[User:Eire]]

I don't think it's Starscream, I think it's Skywarp- he's gray and purple, which is not SS's colourscheme in WfC. [[User:Cyberduck]]
