'''Can Isami and the Samurai Team stop the Predacons from using the Legendiscs to change history?'''

==Synopsis==
[[Isami Tatewaki|Isami]] is startled as a large metal structure rises out of the ground and opens, though [[Kenzan]] explains that they've only modified the house a small amount. As they board the elevator, a small metal butterfly lands on Isami's back unnoticed. The lift takes them down a whole Autobot base, where the rest of the [[Swordbot Samurai Team]] are waiting with [[Tobio Fūma]] and the [[Swordbot Shinobi Team|Shinobi Team]] videoconferenced in. Kenzan introduces [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]], also communicating from a remote location, and the Autobot leader fills them in on the situation with the [[Legendisc]]s. As two of the discs are in the past, Isami and Tobio are required to facilitate time slips with their own discs, so the last two Legendiscs can be retrieved. None of them are aware that [[Budora (Go!)|Budora]] is spying on them, thanks to the tiny metal butterfly, and now knows all they know, including that the Predacons will be able to use [[Dragotron]]'s Legendisc to time slip too.

Isami struggles with the responsibility that he's been handed, recalling having to face the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]s, but he's interrupted by the arrival of [[Jinbu]]. Jinbu takes him to the [[Tokyo Skytree]], which is disappearing from the top down even as they watch. A huge shadow of the Predacon [[insignia]] appears on the land, and the Autobots realize that the Predacons have somehow changed the past. Jinbu has detected a location where they may be able to timeslip, so the team hauls up outside [[Akihabara Station]] and, sure enough, there's soon a flash of light.

They've barely arrived in the past when they're confronted by the sight of [[Musashi Miyamoto]], who demands his mirror back. The Autobots are able to convince him that they're not behind the theft, and Isami quickly establishes that Musashi's stolen mirror is indeed the Legendisc they're searching for. Musashi has resolved to get the disc back, and though Isami thinks there's no way a human can beat a Predacon, the swordsman is confident and imparts some words of wisdom before running off. The Autobots decide to help him any way they can.

Meanwhile, Budora and [[Bakudora]] are hanging out near a town, waiting to be transported back to the future by the Legendisc. Musashi confronts them, closely followed by Isami and the Samurai team. Musashi tries to strike the Predacons but is batted aside, and Budora summons some [[Jaki]] minions from the ground. The Jaki combine into [[Goradora]] and knock the Autobot team around until Isami's [[burning spirit]] activates the Legendisc, allowing the Samurai team to merge into GoJinbu. After GoJinbu takes a couple of hits, he unleashes a lightning attack that destroys Goradora. While Bakudora flees, Musashi scales Budora and stabs the Predacon in the eye, making him drop the Legendisc. Though momentarily afraid, Isami remembers Musashi's earlier inspiring words and runs over to grab the Legendisc. He manages to pick it up, but is knocked flying by Budora. The enraged Jinbu strikes Budora and there's a flash of light.

The Autobots and Isami find themselves back in the present—sadly without the Legendisc, but at least time has been restored. Though Isami is disappointed at their failure to secure the disc, Kenzan tells him that at least he learned a valuable lesson from Musashi.

==Quotes==
"One must not avert their eyes in the face of fear! Only by accepting one fears can one become truly strong. When that happens, one's heart would be unbreakable as a steel blade!" 
:—'''Transformers Go!''' Valuable Lesson no.1 by Musashi himself.

"Tell me when are we going back to the present time?" 
"Don't worry, as long this disc is in my hand, we will be pulled back by another disc." 
"I hope so..." 
"If not, I won't mind taking over the world with this thing." 
"Don't tell me you're going to turn against Master [[Dragotron]]???" 
"I'm just joking."
:—'''Budora''' and '''Bakurdora''', with the former nearly pulled a Starscream.

"That's the tiny fleshling who was with Kenzan and the others! ...so that means..."
:—No d'oh, '''Budora'''.

==Notes==
* Optimus Prime is named Optimus Prime (instead of his regular Japanese name; Convoy). And the Autobots are called Autobots (instead of Cybertrons)

Junior Press

2025-02-05T14:21:24Z

GodGinrai:

'''Junior Press''' was a Dutch publisher of comic books that is located in the [[Netherlands]]. It printed ''[[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|The Transformers]]'' comic book series up until ''[[On the Edge of Extinction!]]''. They also printed ''[[The Transformers: Headmasters]]'' as a stand-alone comic which was given out for free at toy stores.
 
The Dutch editing staff on Junior Press consisted off: 
<li>Siebe Snoeren (issues #1- 10) and Tjerk Snoeren (#11 - 32) - Translations
<li>Ans Loos - Dutch production and End production
<li>BeauType - Lettering. Different people were credited here.
 
Because the comic was only printed every three months and they could't fit more than two US issues in one Dutch comic (with the exception of a single double-sized issue), several issues had to be omitted in order to stay current with the US releases, with explanations of what had happened in the intervening stories having to be printed on the introductions page. This was intentionally done in the case of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s deaths in "[[Afterdeath!]]" and "[[Gone but Not Forgotten!]]" respectively, as they chose to publish Marvel's ''[[Transformers: The Movie (Marvel comic)|Transformers: the Movie]]'' as part of the main comic—rather than a separate standalone or miniseries—and believed killing the characters twice would only confuse the readers. Strangely, the non-canon story "[[The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006]]" was also published. Junior Press would also publish profiles from ''[[The Transformers Universe]]'' and even a few issues from the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] in the regular series to help fill space when necessary.
 
Of further note is that in the earlier issues, Optimus mistakenly went by the name "Jetfire", as [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] had been positioned as the leader of the [[Autobot]]s in early European marketing due to the initial unavailability of Prime's toy in those markets.
 
On Dutch issue #25 (US #61) the writers and the artists made Transformers names from their own names (Simon Furman Maximus, Geoffire Senior and Shrapnel Yomtov). The Dutch editors did the same thing with their names: Tjerkicon Snoeren, BumblebeauType and Ans Autoloos (wich actually means Ans without a car)
 
The last Dutch issue (#32) ends differently than the original issue (#75, ''[[On the Edge of Extinction!]]''). The prologue is removed and instead of the last texts being "But life goes on and the story of The Transformers .... ... is far from told!", it ends with: "Goodbye brave Transformers: goodbye Cybertron ... All the best...! And the last page is a full black and white version of the picture of Cybertron on the page before.

Junior Press

2025-02-05T14:05:36Z

GodGinrai:

'''Junior Press''' was a Dutch publisher of comic books that is located in the [[Netherlands]]. It printed ''[[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|The Transformers]]'' comic book series up until ''[[On the Edge of Extinction!]]''. They also printed ''[[The Transformers: Headmasters]]'' as a stand-alone comic which was given out for free at toy stores.
 
The Dutch editing staff on Juniorpress consisted off: 
<li>Siebe Snoeren (issues #1- 10) and Tjerk Snoeren (#11 - 32) - Translations
<li>Ans Loos - Dutch production and End production
<li>BeauType - Lettering. Different people were credited here.
 
Because the comic was only printed every three months and they could't fit more than two US issues in one Dutch comic (with the exception of a single double-sized issue), several issues had to be omitted in order to stay current with the US releases, with explanations of what had happened in the intervening stories having to be printed on the introductions page. This was intentionally done in the case of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s deaths in "[[Afterdeath!]]" and "[[Gone but Not Forgotten!]]" respectively, as they chose to publish Marvel's ''[[Transformers: The Movie (Marvel comic)|Transformers: the Movie]]'' as part of the main comic—rather than a separate standalone or miniseries—and believed killing the characters twice would only confuse the readers. Strangely, the non-canon story "[[The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006]]" was also published. Junior Press would also publish profiles from ''[[The Transformers Universe]]'' and even a few issues from the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] in the regular series to help fill space when necessary.
 
Of further note is that in the earlier issues, Optimus mistakenly went by the name "Jetfire", as [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] had been positioned as the leader of the [[Autobot]]s in early European marketing due to the initial unavailability of Prime's toy in those markets.
 
On Dutch issue #25 (US #61) the writers and the artists made Transformers names from their own names (Simon Furman Maximus, Geoffire Senior and Shrapnel Yomtov). The Dutch editors did the same thing with their names: Tjerkicon Snoeren, BumblebeauType and Ans Autoloos (wich actually means Ans without a car)
 
The last Dutch issue (#32) ends differently than the original issue (#75). The prologue is removed and instead of the last texts being "But life goes on and the story of The Transformers .... ... is far from told!", it ends with: "Goodbye brave Transformers: goodbye Cybertron ... All the best...! And the last page is a full black and white version of the picture of Cybertron on the page before.

Junior Press

GodGinrai:

'''Junior Press''' was a Dutch publisher of comic books that is located in the [[Netherlands]]. It printed ''[[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|The Transformers]]'' comic book series up until ''[[On the Edge of Extinction!]]''. They also printed ''[[The Transformers: Headmasters]]'' as a stand-alone comic which was given out for free at toy stores.
 
The Dutch editing staff on Juniorpress consisted off: 
<li>Siebe Snoeren (issues #1- 10) and Tjerk Snoeren (#11 - 32) - Translations
<li>Ans Loos - Dutch production and End production
<li>BeauType - Lettering. Different people were credited here.
 
Because the comic was only printed every three months and they could't fit more than two US issues in one Dutch comic (with the exception of a single double-sized issue), several issues had to be omitted in order to stay current with the US releases, with explanations of what had happened in the intervening stories having to be printed on the introductions page. This was intentionally done in the case of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s deaths in "[[Afterdeath!]]" and "[[Gone but Not Forgotten!]]" respectively, as they chose to publish Marvel's ''[[Transformers: The Movie (Marvel comic)|Transformers: the Movie]]'' as part of the main comic—rather than a separate standalone or miniseries—and believed killing the characters twice would only confuse the readers. Strangely, the non-canon story "[[The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006]]" was also published. Junior Press would also publish profiles from ''[[The Transformers Universe]]'' and even a few issues from the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] in the regular series to help fill space when necessary.
 
Of further note is that in the earlier issues, Optimus mistakenly went by the name "Jetfire", as [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] had been positioned as the leader of the [[Autobot]]s in early European marketing due to the initial unavailability of Prime's toy in those markets.
 
On Dutch issue #25 (US #61) the writers and the artists made Transformers names from their own names (Simon Furman Maximus, Geoffire Senior and Shrapnel Yomtov). The Dutch editors did the same thing with their names: Tjerkicon Snoeren, BumblebeauType and Ans Autoloos (wich actually means Ans without a car)
 
The last Dutch issue (#32) ends differently than the original issue (#75). The prologue is removed and instead of the last texts being "But life goes on and the story of The Transformers .... ... is far from told!", it ends with: "Goodbye brave Transformers: goodbye Cybertron ... All the best...! And the last page is a full black and white version of the picture of Cybertron on the page before.

GodGinrai: Added all the dutch issues with corresponding US/UK issues and added some more differences between the comics

'''Junior Press''' was a Dutch publisher of comic books that is located in the [[Netherlands]]. It printed ''[[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|The Transformers]]'' comic book series up until ''[[On the Edge of Extinction!]]''. They also printed ''[[The Transformers: Headmasters]]'' as a stand-alone comic which was given out for free at toy stores.
 
The Dutch editing staff on Juniorpress consisted off: 
<li>Siebe Snoeren (issues #1- 10) and Tjerk Snoeren (#11 - 32) - translations
<li>Ans Loos - Dutch production and end production
<li>BeauType - lettering. Different people were credited here.
 
Because the comic was only printed every three months and they could't fit more than two US issues in one Dutch comic (with the exception of a single double-sized issue), several issues had to be omitted in order to stay current with the US releases, with explanations of what had happened in the intervening stories having to be printed on the introductions page. This was intentionally done in the case of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s deaths in "[[Afterdeath!]]" and "[[Gone but Not Forgotten!]]" respectively, as they chose to publish Marvel's ''[[Transformers: The Movie (Marvel comic)|Transformers: the Movie]]'' as part of the main comic—rather than a separate standalone or miniseries—and believed killing the characters twice would only confuse the readers. Strangely, the non-canon story "[[The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006]]" was also published. Junior Press would also publish profiles from ''[[The Transformers Universe]]'' and even a few issues from the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] in the regular series to help fill space when necessary.
 
Of further note is that in the earlier issues, Optimus mistakenly went by the name "Jetfire", as [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] had been positioned as the leader of the [[Autobot]]s in early European marketing due to the initial unavailability of Prime's toy in those markets.
 
On Dutch issue #25 (US #61) the writers and the artists made Transformers names from their own names (Simon Furman Maximus, Geoffire Senior and Shrapnel Yomtov). The Dutch editors did the same thing with their names: Tjerkicon Snoeren, BumblebeauType and Ans Autoloos (wich actually means Ans without a car)
 
The last Dutch issue (#32) ends differently than the original issue (#75). The prologue is removed and instead of the last texts being "But life goes on and the story of The Transformers .... ... is far from told!", it ends with: "Goodbye brave Transformers: goodbye Cybertron ... All the best...! And the last page is a full black and white version of the picture of Cybertron on the page before.

==Previous discussions==
Previous discussions from before I became an admin can be found at [[User talk:Cyberlink420/Archive1|Archive]]. However, please do not edit the Archive page.



Why are you against my merger with those go-bot page if i may be so bold to ask?--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 20:56, 3 October 2021 (EDT)

== Ok, sorry ==
Can I re-upload it after it fits the standards of this wiki? --[[User:GobotsFanForever|GobotsFanForever]] ([[User talk:GobotsFanForever|talk]]) 20:08, 9 April 2021 (EDT)
:Sure, but you might be better off finding a different image of Whirl. In the one you uploaded, she's just sort of standing there, while all the other images are more dynamic and show her actually doing things. Try to find something more distinct that better conveys what the character is doing in the episode. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:39, 9 April 2021 (EDT)

== Hoist Goes Hollywood ==

You reverted my edit saying it was "still a stretch." What I wrote was:

"The Autobot cast for this episode is particularly appropriate. Apart from Hoist, all the Autobots who crash the filming in search of stardom are notably vain attention-seekers. Though this trait is rarely played up with Warpath, his ego regarding his gun and shooting skills is mentioned in his bios, and he appropriately makes his entrance by displaying his sharpshooting skills."

My question is this: How the heck is that a stretch? It notes what was clearly the writer's intention in casting the episode and explains the choice of a character who would seemingly be the odd man out.

I don't do a lot of editing on here, and I genuinely try to do so only when I feel I'm adding something or improving something in accordance with the standards as I understand them, but I've had several edits reverted recently that I had put a good amount of thought into, and the justifications for those reversions have been uniformly unsatisfying and very poorly explained. {{unsigned|Tjfosko}}
:I genuinely don't think the writer put that much thought into it. And unless you have an interview with the writer saying as much, you can't say it was clearly their intention; it was more likely as simple as them being told "here's the toy(s) we want to promote this week, write a story about them". This just feels like adding a note for the sake of adding a note on an overly crowded page. (I personally think a lot of the existing notes don't serve to add much either, so it's not just a you thing.) And please remember to sign your talk page posts. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:29, 15 May 2021 (EDT)

::So, you don't think the writer of the episode picked specifically four glory-hounds to crash a movie studio hoping for stardom, but that he instead got a note saying, "We want you to sell Hoist, Tracks, Sunstreaker, Powerglide, and Warpath this week"? Look at Earl Kress's episode credits. "The Immobilizer" is practically the only episode dealing with Ironhide's age (besides a few minor asides) and actually features a rare instance of Trailbreaker being a jokester. "B.O.T.," for all its flaws, plays up Swindle better than any other episode. "Desertion of the Dinobots" doesn't have the same degree of focus, but the episodes he wrote tend to be very strong in their depictions of characters. Even if your scenario of "promote these toys this week" is accurate (which I don't think it is, as the production materials that I've seen make it seem like Hasbro gave broad strokes with the exception of a few instances of "don't use this guy because we aren't releasing him" (Reflector) or "shove this in somewhere because it's a new toy" (Protectobots)), that only makes the cast more noteworthy, as it's an incredibly convenient accident. It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

::As for the unsigned comment, my bad. Slipped my mind. Trying to keep up with that. [[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 11:51, 17 May 2021 (EDT)

== Just a suggestion ==

Since G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron have an extremely long list of appearances and will likely have even more in the future, can I split their Game appearances into separate pages? --[[User:GobotsFanForever|GobotsFanForever]] ([[User talk:GobotsFanForever|talk]]) 13:36, 16 August 2021 (EDT)
:This has actually already been proposed over at [[Talk:Optimus Prime (G1)#Another split?]] -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:43, 16 August 2021 (EDT)

== Arcana ==

Hi. I just edited the Arcana page. However, I can't make the caption link to the page. The link and the caption are separate. Could you edit it so that the caption links to the page, please? {{unsigned|Cybertron1986}} 15:09, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

I suppose I should learn how to do it on practice pages. Thank you.
{{unsigned|Cybertron1986}} 15:14, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

== My mistake ==

Wait really? Oh gosh, my extreme apologies then! I wasn't aware that was a UK English spelling! I saw both Installment and Instalment on the same page and thought it was an error. [[User:BigRobot|BigRobot]] ([[User talk:BigRobot|talk]]) 23:05, 26 September 2021 (EDT)BigRobot

==Delete==
why do you keep deleting my stuff? is it irrelevant? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 13:27, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:Irrelevant and/or inaccurate. For example, you claimed Doublecrosser said something that was actually said by Bug Bite, and you repeatedly got Rack'n'Ruin's name wrong. Also, you really need to stop trying to remove every instance of profanity; the wiki has always been PG-13, and any words that have been used in official Transformers media like "bitch" and "shit" are okay for use. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:40, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:::Noted, but that sounds unprofessional. Also, watch the tone. you are unnecessarily rude. {{unsigned|Tylerwu}}

==Apology==
For your politeness, I would like to formally apologize. I know I was being a jerk and being immature. That happens to me all the time. I'm sorry I did all that to you. Just please remember that not everyone needs to be treated like underlings and so. But in my case, I totally deserved it. So I'm just apologising. Thanks, [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 16:23, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:I genuinely appreciate the apology, but actions ultimately speak louder than words, so I hope you take this to heart and practice better judgment going forward. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:35, 8 November 2021 (EST)

==Universal==
Hello, can you keep some of my edits? or at least change them? I feel like the "difference from film" section might be relevant. Also, ironhide and ratchet don't speak. Should they still be credited? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 19:58, 3 December 2021 (EST)
:It's not really meant to be explicitly based on any of the films, so it's largely unnecessary to note any differences. And as I said before, there's no reason for us to document what happens when the ride breaks because it's not standard procedure, and not everyone is going to have the same experience during a malfunction, so it's impossible to log every possible result. Also, Ratchet and Ironhide appear and speak in the queue for the ride, which the article also covers. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:21, 3 December 2021 (EST)

==Play Doh==
Hi, you deleted my stuff about the compound from the spoiler boxes from the WFC trilliogy toys because it was not marketed as playdoh, yet now, there is a new section about playdoh. Even though it IS playdoh, it was never marketed as playdoh. If you choose to keep it, why delete mine? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 21:45, 13 January 2022 (EST)
:Apart from the fact that I didn't even realize someone had added it back until a few days ago (and was convinced to let it stay in a separate discussion), the current write-up is much more detailed and actually explains why it's mentioned in the Play-Doh article. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 22:21, 13 January 2022 (EST)

== Whirl - Marvel UK - Time Wars ==

You removed my parenthetical regarding Whirl's lack of appearance because you believed it had no bearing on his survival. However, no one knows what happened to Whirl since he never appeared, and that makes his survival ambiguous. The current note is also confusing as written because it implies Whirl appears in Time Wars, but he doesn't. I was trying to add in some clarity to answer a question I'd been trying to get answered for myself, as I looked through the wiki trying to figure out what happened to Whirl or if he'd died in a story that I somehow didn't have in my collection (since my G1 comics collection is the Titan collections, and with the weird way the UK stories were collected I wasn't 100% positive I had all the relevant stories), and it took far more digging than it should have for me to figure it out, and the Time Wars note did cause me actual confusion.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (EST)
:I disagree with outright questioning his survival, but I do think it's worth bringing up on his page that he stopped appearing, without us outright saying he's alive or dead. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 12:34, 17 February 2022 (EST)
::I added a note to Whirl's character page to that effect. It was also deleted. Like probably 90% of the edits I make. C'est la vie. And I don't really mean to so much question his survival but to say that there's never any real statement as to what happened to him.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:46, 17 February 2022 (EST)

== Re:Account rename ==

Thanks for the heads up! But there were other reasons why I wanted to ditch my old account, such as it being tied to an email I don't have access to anymore and me only vaguely remembering the password. It's not like I did much on it anyway, I think my most notable contribution was correcting a typo or two. If the staff wants me to use my old account for safe-keeping purposes or something, then I'd be fine with that though. --[[User:AmeliaLH|AmeliaLH]] ([[User talk:AmeliaLH|talk]]) 00:01, 25 February 2022 (EST)
:No worries. This was more just to ask if you would rather use a renamed old account or a fresh account since the rules only permit you to have one. I'll close your old account then. Thanks, and happy editing! -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 00:36, 25 February 2022 (EST)

== "nipping this in the bud" ==

I take it you're just going to block me so you don't have to provide an argument, yeah? [[User:Elita1|Elita1]] ([[User talk:Elita1|talk]]) 23:14, 26 February 2022 (EST)
:I don't have to. As our [[Transformers_Wiki:Policies#Attitude_towards_authority|policy]] states, "he who owns the house, makes the rules". And as all of the admins are of the agreement that white nationalism is bad and have never been afraid to call out shitty people (see: [[Pat Lee]], [[Adam Baldwin]]), I see no reason why the paragraph should be removed. The fact that you joined just to do so indicates your intentions are less than noble. I suggest you drop it, or you will find yourself banned immediately. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:19, 26 February 2022 (EST)
::As you wish. [[User:Elita1|Elita1]] ([[User talk:Elita1|talk]]) 23:30, 26 February 2022 (EST)

== Discord ban appeal ==

Hey, not sure if you are the right person to ask, but over a year ago, I don’t quite recall when, I was (rightfully) banned from the Discord server for my immature and attention seeking behaviour, truthfully I am glad I was banned sooner than later since at that time I probably would’ve gotten myself banned for something much worst,
Now that over a year has passed, and I’ve dealt with a lot of the issues I had with my life and gotten myself in a better place, mentally socially, etc and again I’m into Transformers than ever I wanted to be able to contribute to the Wiki again, and learn how to be more professional about my edits, and I’d like to rejoin the discord server for that purpose, in order to discuss wiki contributions, unlike before when I *only* wanted it as a place to talk and receive attention when I had no one else to talk to in my life, I don’t mean to come off as sappy or anything of the sort, just me asking for a second chance and stating how I intend to be better if given it. (I was Lucas-Magic-Ninja’s on the Discord). [[User:Hexnut17|Hexnut17]] ([[User talk:Hexnut17|talk]]) 00:38, March 19 2022 (EST)
:I've spoken to the admin who issued your ban and they're willing to give you another shot. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 12:36, 19 March 2022 (EDT)

== Jacqueline ==

Send in a re-edited Jcqueline trivia (I don't know how to do tenses, so I apologize for that but hopefully the edited version works better).--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 10:49, 2 April 2022 (EDT)
==Rewording==
I wasn’t trying to remove Nick Studios on the EarthSpark page, I was trying to condense the sentence to be the same one that says how it is developed by eOne and Nick. There was another sentence that said Nick Studios is producing, so I wanted to merge the two and make it say that it is being co-produced and developed by them. But the caption still doesn’t make sense to me, since it isn’t for Nick alone anymore and the Nick who is a character designer isn’t really the person who the show is "by." [[User:Taylr2000|Taylr2000]] ([[User talk:Taylr2000|talk]]) 23:28, 12 April 2022 (EDT)
:It's simple wordplay, and it's still a show featuring designs ''by Nick'' Roche ''for Nick''elodeon Studios. And the existing verbiage for the paragraph is fine. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 00:03, 13 April 2022 (EDT)

==Misattribution note==
I added it because I saw another page that had a misattribution quote that explained it was a misattribution [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 09:59, 5 May 2022 (EDT)

==Tagging stock images==

Sorry to bother you but how do i add the stock tag to an image im uploading? {{unsigned|Kirby54}}
:Just type <nowiki>{{stock}}</nowiki> and the wiki will do the rest. We have a bunch of different stock templates for different toylines, so take a look through [[:Category:Stock image templates|this category]] and find the one that fits best, then just type the name of that template between brackets. For example, if you're uploading a stock image of a ''Collaborative'' toy, type <nowiki>{{Collaborativestock}}</nowiki>.

:(Also, make sure to sign your talk page posts! Just type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> and the wiki will automatically fill in your signature.) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:12, 3 November 2022 (EDT)

thank you for clearing things up. [[User:Kirby54|Kirby54]] ([[User talk:Kirby54|talk]]) 13:28, 3 November 2022 (EDT)

==Thrash Picture Caption==
I understand how the first caption could have been taken as “whining”, with the ellipses and whatnot, but please explain why you consider the second attempt as me “whining”. It has a joking tone (as I was originally going for). I would simply like explanation, for as far as I can see, it’s far from plain complaining.

[[User:Deathwingtech|DeathwingTech]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19 November 2022 (EDT)
:Sure still came off whiny. Plus, captions where every word links to something else are a big no-no. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 01:07, 20 November 2022 (EST)

::Alright, in that case, how would you suggest fixing it? I do feel that it’s a good punchline, just needs a better tone. And thank you for clarifying, I’m pretty new around here! — [[User:Deathwingtech|DeathwingTech]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 19 November 2022 (EDT)
:::I don't think there's any fixing it. Like, it's not even a joke, it's just saying there are other motorcycle characters. Half your examples aren't even main characters. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 01:16, 20 November 2022 (EST)

== APOLOGIES! I AM SO SORRY! ==

I made an edit a few days back on the sg Optimus page and didn’t realize that with the context of the image, it seemed like a George Floyd joke. I was trying to make a gag about Donald trump cuz I thought it was funny but I didn’t think about the fact that the image directly mirrored the incident. I take full responsibility for this and sincerely apologize, I hope I’m using this page right also! Yours truly, --[[User:Carno|Carno]] ([[User talk:Carno|talk]]) 12:48, 29 May 2023 (EDT)

== Images ==

I don't know who to write to about it, but I saw you admonished me once about the images, so maybe you'll know something. If I have an image with an unnecessary background (e.g. [[Media:Kinder-Joy-RID15-2017-Steeljaw.jpg|Steeljaw Toy]]), can I upload this image to a graphics program and cut out the background? Thanks in advance for your answer

== This message doesn't seem very mature ==

Look at the top of Talk:Sideways (ROTF) and look at Semysane's message. [[User:SuperKilogram|SuperKilogram]] ([[User talk:SuperKilogram|talk]]) 15:52, 29 June 2023 (EDT)

== Should this be on Sideways' page ==

On the Sideways disambiguation page, there is a bullet point that says "Your mom", is that supposed to be there?
[[User:SuperKilogram|SuperKilogram]] ([[User talk:SuperKilogram|talk]]) 15:52, 29 June 2023 (EDT)
:Yes. Sideways once suggested that "your mom" was another incarnation of him in [[Ask Vector Prime]]. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:59, 29 June 2023 (EDT)

== ROTB Screencaps ==

Apologies for the sudden message, but I was wondering if it would be okay to upload screencaps from the YouTube Rise of the Beasts Videos for certain pages for use on character pages. They technically are within the guidelines under the ruling of "No leaks" as the screenshots are from publicly available videos on YouTube via the official Paramount Pictures Channel, and I believe they are of a good picture quality. If we need to wait until a home release is made, then I understand, but I wanted your input before jumping the gun on the matter. -- [[User:MavPolly123|MavPolly123]] ([[User talk:MavPolly123|talk]]) 18:26, 29 June 2023 (EDT)
:Yes, anything screencaps from official trailers or preview clips is fair game. If they're on an official Hasbro or Paramount channel, they're 100% okay to use. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 18:52, 29 June 2023 (EDT)

==ROTB Airazor==
What seems to be the issue with me merely adding that she was originally adding that she never transformed or that she was supposed to?
:Because both those things are already noted on her page. Also, sign your posts. (Type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:56, 2 July 2023 (EDT)

<references/>== Puffer ==

I’ve recently added information about g1 Puffer. Unfortunately you deleted my entry, because I had no source. Unfortunately the website where Puffer was first mentioned, does not exist anymore (since it has been more than 20 years ago). So that pretty much rules out any proof I have of my text.
I know for a fact that what I’ve posted, really happened. But I don’t have any proof of that. Is there any way that you do add the information? Just until someone can proof something else (which they can’t because I know what legitimately happened :-))
Hope you can reconsider!
Thanks in advance! {{unsigned|GodGinrai}}
: Sorry, but you need proof for a claim like this. Besides, even if the story was true, I genuinely doubt it's the reason the toy was named as such; like, is there literally ''any'' reason to believe that Hasbro named the toy for that reason and not just the obvious "'''P'''ipes + H'''uffer'''"? Sometimes, the simplest answer is the right one. (Also, remember to type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to sign your talk page posts.) -- 10:49, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
::Well, hold on, I agree that there needs to be more proof, but Hasbro absolutely named the toy that because it was a long-standing fan nickname. If we can find more proof that verifies GodGinrai's story, I think it should absolutely be included; the people at Hasbro might not have known its history, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of inclusion. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 11:14, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
:::: Thanks Escargon! And I actually found some sort of proof, on the old ATT newsgroup. I do mention Puffer (although making him Klaas as I mentioned in my earlier post). But the post from early 2000 is some sort of proof: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.toys.transformers/c/YkR6bBAj9ww/m/bpGU4XDJkVoJ. On April 1 2000 I say: “ The reason WHY we called him Klaas cause it's because we didn't knew it was Huffer or Pipes... so we we're discussing that..eventually it was something like: "Blue Huffer.. No.. Alter-Transform-Pipes... Puffer.. Hipes...screw it.. it's KLAAS!.. hehehehe OK :)”
::::As you see in the discussion, no one has ever seen or mentioned Puffer before. This was the first time I explained where the name came from.
:::::Perhaps, but I question the ability to claim this as the name's definitive origin point, especially 14 years removed from the toy's original release; it seems more likely IMO that "Puffer" is an obvious enough portmanteau like "[[Bumper (G1)|Bumper]]" that a lot of people independently came up with it, and it's just one of those things that gradually spread. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:17, 9 July 2023 (EDT)
::::::I had a search of ATT and it does look like the earliest uses of Puffer were from GodGinrai and Devvi, with it later being used by others (here's Nevermore using it in 2004 [https://groups.google.com/g/alt.toys.transformers/c/d0D4qlLxObY/m/AEREJcIzHd4J]) so lacking other evidence, I can buy that they coined the term originally and it caught on in Fandom. Though I don't know that we want to go into the amount of detail present in the original note. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 16:42, 9 July 2023 (EDT)
: EDT)

Why are you against my merger with those go-bot page if i may be so bold to ask?--[[User:Projectus|Projectus]] ([[User talk:Projectus|talk]]) 20:56, 3 October 2021 (EDT)

== Ok, sorry ==
Can I re-upload it after it fits the standards of this wiki? --[[User:GobotsFanForever|GobotsFanForever]] ([[User talk:GobotsFanForever|talk]]) 20:08, 9 April 2021 (EDT)
:Sure, but you might be better off finding a different image of Whirl. In the one you uploaded, she's just sort of standing there, while all the other images are more dynamic and show her actually doing things. Try to find something more distinct that better conveys what the character is doing in the episode. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:39, 9 April 2021 (EDT)

== Hoist Goes Hollywood ==

You reverted my edit saying it was "still a stretch." What I wrote was:

"The Autobot cast for this episode is particularly appropriate. Apart from Hoist, all the Autobots who crash the filming in search of stardom are notably vain attention-seekers. Though this trait is rarely played up with Warpath, his ego regarding his gun and shooting skills is mentioned in his bios, and he appropriately makes his entrance by displaying his sharpshooting skills."

My question is this: How the heck is that a stretch? It notes what was clearly the writer's intention in casting the episode and explains the choice of a character who would seemingly be the odd man out.

I don't do a lot of editing on here, and I genuinely try to do so only when I feel I'm adding something or improving something in accordance with the standards as I understand them, but I've had several edits reverted recently that I had put a good amount of thought into, and the justifications for those reversions have been uniformly unsatisfying and very poorly explained. {{unsigned|Tjfosko}}
:I genuinely don't think the writer put that much thought into it. And unless you have an interview with the writer saying as much, you can't say it was clearly their intention; it was more likely as simple as them being told "here's the toy(s) we want to promote this week, write a story about them". This just feels like adding a note for the sake of adding a note on an overly crowded page. (I personally think a lot of the existing notes don't serve to add much either, so it's not just a you thing.) And please remember to sign your talk page posts. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:29, 15 May 2021 (EDT)

::So, you don't think the writer of the episode picked specifically four glory-hounds to crash a movie studio hoping for stardom, but that he instead got a note saying, "We want you to sell Hoist, Tracks, Sunstreaker, Powerglide, and Warpath this week"? Look at Earl Kress's episode credits. "The Immobilizer" is practically the only episode dealing with Ironhide's age (besides a few minor asides) and actually features a rare instance of Trailbreaker being a jokester. "B.O.T.," for all its flaws, plays up Swindle better than any other episode. "Desertion of the Dinobots" doesn't have the same degree of focus, but the episodes he wrote tend to be very strong in their depictions of characters. Even if your scenario of "promote these toys this week" is accurate (which I don't think it is, as the production materials that I've seen make it seem like Hasbro gave broad strokes with the exception of a few instances of "don't use this guy because we aren't releasing him" (Reflector) or "shove this in somewhere because it's a new toy" (Protectobots)), that only makes the cast more noteworthy, as it's an incredibly convenient accident. It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

==Delete==
why do you keep deleting my stuff? is it irrelevant? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 13:27, 8 November 2021 (EST)
:Irrelevant and/or inaccurate. For example, you claimed Doublecrosser said something that was actually said by Bug Bite, and you repeatedly got Rack'n'Ruin's name wrong. Also, you really need to stop trying to remove every instance of profanity; the wiki has always been PG-13, and any words that have been used in official Transformers media like "bitch" and "shit" are okay for use. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 13:40, 8 November 2021 (EST)

==Universal==
Hello, can you keep some of my edits? or at least change them? I feel like the "difference from film" section might be relevant. Also, ironhide and ratchet don't speak. Should they still be credited? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 19:58, 3 December 2021 (EST)
:It's not really meant to be explicitly based on any of the films, so it's largely unnecessary to note any differences. And as I said before, there's no reason for us to document what happens when the ride breaks because it's not standard procedure, and not everyone is going to have the same experience during a malfunction, so it's impossible to log every possible result. Also, Ratchet and Ironhide appear and speak in the queue for the ride, which the article also covers. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:21, 3 December 2021 (EST)

==Play Doh==
Hi, you deleted my stuff about the compound from the spoiler boxes from the WFC trilliogy toys because it was not marketed as playdoh, yet now, there is a new section about playdoh. Even though it IS playdoh, it was never marketed as playdoh. If you choose to keep it, why delete mine? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 21:45, 13 January 2022 (EST)
:Apart from the fact that I didn't even realize someone had added it back until a few days ago (and was convinced to let it stay in a separate discussion), the current write-up is much more detailed and actually explains why it's mentioned in the Play-Doh article. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 22:21, 13 January 2022 (EST)

== Whirl - Marvel UK - Time Wars ==

You removed my parenthetical regarding Whirl's lack of appearance because you believed it had no bearing on his survival. However, no one knows what happened to Whirl since he never appeared, and that makes his survival ambiguous. The current note is also confusing as written because it implies Whirl appears in Time Wars, but he doesn't. I was trying to add in some clarity to answer a question I'd been trying to get answered for myself, as I looked through the wiki trying to figure out what happened to Whirl or if he'd died in a story that I somehow didn't have in my collection (since my G1 comics collection is the Titan collections, and with the weird way the UK stories were collected I wasn't 100% positive I had all the relevant stories), and it took far more digging than it should have for me to figure it out, and the Time Wars note did cause me actual confusion.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (EST)
:I disagree with outright questioning his survival, but I do think it's worth bringing up on his page that he stopped appearing, without us outright saying he's alive or dead. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 12:34, 17 February 2022 (EST)
::I added a note to Whirl's character page to that effect. It was also deleted. Like probably 90% of the edits I make. C'est la vie.

== Re:Account rename ==

Thanks for the heads up! But there were other reasons why I wanted to ditch my old account, such as it being tied to an email I don't have access to anymore and me only vaguely remembering the password.

== Discord ban appeal ==

Hey, not sure if you are the right person to ask, but over a year ago, I don’t quite recall when, I was (rightfully) banned from the Discord server for my immature and attention seeking behaviour, truthfully I am glad I was banned sooner than later since at that time I probably would’ve gotten myself banned for something much worst,
Now that over a year has passed, and I’ve dealt with a lot of the issues I had with my life and gotten myself in a better place, mentally socially, etc and again I’m into Transformers than ever I wanted to be able to contribute to the Wiki again, and learn how to be more professional about my edits, and I’d like to rejoin the discord server for that purpose, in order to discuss wiki contributions, unlike before when I *only* wanted it as a place to talk and receive attention when I had no one else to talk to in my life, I don’t mean to come off as sappy or anything of the sort, just me asking for a second chance and stating how I intend to be better if given it.

==Rewording==
I wasn’t trying to remove Nick Studios on the EarthSpark page, I was trying to condense the sentence to be the same one that says how it is developed by eOne and Nick. There was another sentence that said Nick Studios is producing, so I wanted to merge the two and make it say that it is being co-produced and developed by them. But the caption still doesn’t make sense to me, since it isn’t for Nick alone anymore and the Nick who is a character designer isn’t really the person who the show is "by." [[User:Taylr2000|Taylr2000]] ([[User talk:Taylr2000|talk]]) 23:28, 12 April 2022 (EDT)

== Puffer ==

I’ve recently added information about g1 Puffer. Unfortunately you deleted my entry, because I had no source. Unfortunately the website where Puffer was first mentioned, does not exist anymore (since it has been more than 20 years ago). So that pretty much rules out any proof I have of my text.
I know for a fact that what I’ve posted, really happened. But I don’t have any proof of that. Is there any way that you do add the information? Just until someone can proof something else (which they can’t because I know what legitimately happened :-))
Hope you can reconsider!
Thanks in advance! {{unsigned|GodGinrai}}
: Sorry, but you need proof for a claim like this. Besides, even if the story was true, I genuinely doubt it's the reason the toy was named as such; like, is there literally ''any'' reason to believe that Hasbro named the toy for that reason and not just the obvious "'''P'''ipes + H'''uffer'''"? Sometimes, the simplest answer is the right one. (Also, remember to type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to sign your talk page posts.) -- 10:49, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
::Well, hold on, I agree that there needs to be more proof, but Hasbro absolutely named the toy that because it was a long-standing fan nickname. If we can find more proof that verifies GodGinrai's story, I think it should absolutely be included; the people at Hasbro might not have known its history, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of inclusion. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 11:14, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
:::: Thanks Escargon! And I actually found some sort of proof, on the old ATT newsgroup. I do mention Puffer (although making him Klaas as I mentioned in my earlier post). But the post from early 2000 is some sort of proof: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.toys.transformers/c/YkR6bBAj9ww/m/bpGU4XDJkVoJ. On April 1 2000 I say: “ The reason WHY we called him Klaas cause it's because we didn't knew it was Huffer or Pipes... so we we're discussing that..eventually it was something like: "Blue Huffer.. No.. Alter-Transform-Pipes... Puffer.. Hipes...screw it.. it's KLAAS!.. hehehehe OK :)”

As you see in the discussion, no one has ever seen or mentioned Puffer before. This was the first time I explained where the name came from.

"The Immobilizer" is practically the only episode dealing with Ironhide's age (besides a few minor asides) and actually features a rare instance of Trailbreaker being a jokester. "B.O.T.," for all its flaws, plays up Swindle better than any other episode. "Desertion of the Dinobots" doesn't have the same degree of focus, but the episodes he wrote tend to be very strong in their depictions of characters. Even if your scenario of "promote these toys this week" is accurate (which I don't think it is, as the production materials that I've seen make it seem like Hasbro gave broad strokes with the exception of a few instances of "don't use this guy because we aren't releasing him" (Reflector) or "shove this in somewhere because it's a new toy" (Protectobots)), that only makes the cast more noteworthy, as it's an incredibly convenient accident. It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

== Whirl - Marvel UK - Time Wars ==

You removed my parenthetical regarding Whirl's lack of appearance because you believed it had no bearing on his survival. However, no one knows what happened to Whirl since he never appeared, and that makes his survival ambiguous. The current note is also confusing as written because it implies Whirl appears in Time Wars, but he doesn't. I was trying to add in some clarity to answer a question I'd been trying to get answered for myself, as I looked through the wiki trying to figure out what happened to Whirl or if he'd died in a story that I somehow didn't have in my collection (since my G1 comics collection is the Titan collections, and with the weird way the UK stories were collected I wasn't 100% positive I had all the relevant stories), and it took far more digging than it should have for me to figure it out, and the Time Wars note did cause me actual confusion.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (EST)

== Puffer ==

I’ve recently added information about g1 Puffer. Unfortunately you deleted my entry, because I had no source. Unfortunately the website where Puffer was first mentioned, does not exist anymore (since it has been more than 20 years ago). So that pretty much rules out any proof I have of my text.
I know for a fact that what I’ve posted, really happened. But I don’t have any proof of that. Is there any way that you do add the information? Just until someone can proof something else (which they can’t because I know what legitimately happened :-))
Hope you can reconsider!
Thanks in advance! {{unsigned|GodGinrai}}
: Sorry, but you need proof for a claim like this. Besides, even if the story was true, I genuinely doubt it's the reason the toy was named as such; like, is there literally ''any'' reason to believe that Hasbro named the toy for that reason and not just the obvious "'''P'''ipes + H'''uffer'''"? Sometimes, the simplest answer is the right one. (Also, remember to type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to sign your talk page posts.) -- 10:49, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
::Well, hold on, I agree that there needs to be more proof, but Hasbro absolutely named the toy that because it was a long-standing fan nickname. If we can find more proof that verifies GodGinrai's story, I think it should absolutely be included; the people at Hasbro might not have known its history, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of inclusion. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 11:14, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
:::: Thanks Escargon! And I actually found some sort of proof, on the old ATT newsgroup. I do mention Puffer (although making him Klaas as I mentioned in my earlier post). But the post from early 2000 is some sort of proof: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.toys.transformers/c/YkR6bBAj9ww/m/bpGU4XDJkVoJ. On April 1 2000 I say: “ The reason WHY we called him Klaas cause it's because we didn't knew it was Huffer or Pipes... so we we're discussing that..
eventually it was something like: "Blue Huffer.. No.. Alter-Transform-Pipes... Puffer.. Hipes...
screw it.. it's KLAAS!.. hehehehe OK :)”
As you see in the discussion, no one has ever seen or mentioned Puffer before. This was the first time I explained where the name came from.

== Hoist Goes Hollywood ==

You reverted my edit saying it was "still a stretch." What I wrote was:

"The Autobot cast for this episode is particularly appropriate. Apart from Hoist, all the Autobots who crash the filming in search of stardom are notably vain attention-seekers. Though this trait is rarely played up with Warpath, his ego regarding his gun and shooting skills is mentioned in his bios, and he appropriately makes his entrance by displaying his sharpshooting skills."

My question is this: How the heck is that a stretch? It notes what was clearly the writer's intention in casting the episode and explains the choice of a character who would seemingly be the odd man out.

I don't do a lot of editing on here, and I genuinely try to do so only when I feel I'm adding something or improving something in accordance with the standards as I understand them, but I've had several edits reverted recently that I had put a good amount of thought into, and the justifications for those reversions have been uniformly unsatisfying and very poorly explained. {{unsigned|Tjfosko}}
:I genuinely don't think the writer put that much thought into it. And unless you have an interview with the writer saying as much, you can't say it was clearly their intention; it was more likely as simple as them being told "here's the toy(s) we want to promote this week, write a story about them". This just feels like adding a note for the sake of adding a note on an overly crowded page.

It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

Hello, can you keep some of my edits? or at least change them? I feel like the "difference from film" section might be relevant. Also, ironhide and ratchet don't speak. Should they still be credited? [[User:Tylerwu|Tylerwu]] ([[User talk:Tylerwu|talk]]) 19:58, 3 December 2021 (EST)
:It's not really meant to be explicitly based on any of the films, so it's largely unnecessary to note any differences. And as I said before, there's no reason for us to document what happens when the ride breaks because it's not standard procedure, and not everyone is going to have the same experience during a malfunction, so it's impossible to log every possible result. Also, Ratchet and Ironhide appear and speak in the queue for the ride, which the article also covers. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:21, 3 December 2021 (EST)

== Whirl - Marvel UK - Time Wars ==

You removed my parenthetical regarding Whirl's lack of appearance because you believed it had no bearing on his survival. However, no one knows what happened to Whirl since he never appeared, and that makes his survival ambiguous. The current note is also confusing as written because it implies Whirl appears in Time Wars, but he doesn't. I was trying to add in some clarity to answer a question I'd been trying to get answered for myself, as I looked through the wiki trying to figure out what happened to Whirl or if he'd died in a story that I somehow didn't have in my collection (since my G1 comics collection is the Titan collections, and with the weird way the UK stories were collected I wasn't 100% positive I had all the relevant stories), and it took far more digging than it should have for me to figure it out, and the Time Wars note did cause me actual confusion.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (EST)

Hey, not sure if you are the right person to ask, but over a year ago, I don’t quite recall when, I was (rightfully) banned from the Discord server for my immature and attention seeking behaviour, truthfully I am glad I was banned sooner than later since at that time I probably would’ve gotten myself banned for something much worst,
Now that over a year has passed, and I’ve dealt with a lot of the issues I had with my life and gotten myself in a better place, mentally socially, etc and again I’m into Transformers than ever I wanted to be able to contribute to the Wiki again, and learn how to be more professional about my edits, and I’d like to rejoin the discord server for that purpose, in order to discuss wiki contributions, unlike before when I *only* wanted it as a place to talk and receive attention when I had no one else to talk to in my life, I don’t mean to come off as sappy or anything of the sort, just me asking for a second chance and stating how I intend to be better if given it.

==Rewording==
I wasn’t trying to remove Nick Studios on the EarthSpark page, I was trying to condense the sentence to be the same one that says how it is developed by eOne and Nick. There was another sentence that said Nick Studios is producing, so I wanted to merge the two and make it say that it is being co-produced and developed by them. But the caption still doesn’t make sense to me, since it isn’t for Nick alone anymore and the Nick who is a character designer isn’t really the person who the show is "by."

== Puffer ==

I’ve recently added information about g1 Puffer. Unfortunately you deleted my entry, because I had no source. Unfortunately the website where Puffer was first mentioned, does not exist anymore (since it has been more than 20 years ago). So that pretty much rules out any proof I have of my text.
I know for a fact that what I’ve posted, really happened. But I don’t have any proof of that. Is there any way that you do add the information? Just until someone can proof something else (which they can’t because I know what legitimately happened :-))
Hope you can reconsider!
Thanks in advance! {{unsigned|GodGinrai}}
: Sorry, but you need proof for a claim like this. Besides, even if the story was true, I genuinely doubt it's the reason the toy was named as such; like, is there literally ''any'' reason to believe that Hasbro named the toy for that reason and not just the obvious "'''P'''ipes + H'''uffer'''"? Sometimes, the simplest answer is the right one. (Also, remember to type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to sign your talk page posts.) -- 10:49, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
::Well, hold on, I agree that there needs to be more proof, but Hasbro absolutely named the toy that because it was a long-standing fan nickname. If we can find more proof that verifies GodGinrai's story, I think it should absolutely be included; the people at Hasbro might not have known its history, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of inclusion. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 11:14, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
:::: Thanks Escargon! And I actually found some sort of proof, on the old ATT newsgroup. I do mention Puffer (although making him Klaas as I mentioned in my earlier post). But the post from early 2000 is some sort of proof: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.toys.transformers/c/YkR6bBAj9ww/m/bpGU4XDJkVoJ. On April 1 2000 I say: “ The reason WHY we called him Klaas cause it's because we didn't
knew it was Huffer or Pipes... so we we're discussing that..
eventually it was something like:
"Blue Huffer.. No.. Alter-Transform-Pipes... Puffer.. Hipes...
screw it.. it's KLAAS!.. hehehehe OK :)”
As you see in the discussion, no one has ever seen or mentioned Puffer before. This was the first time I explained where the name came from.

== Hoist Goes Hollywood ==

You reverted my edit saying it was "still a stretch." What I wrote was:

"The Autobot cast for this episode is particularly appropriate. Apart from Hoist, all the Autobots who crash the filming in search of stardom are notably vain attention-seekers. Though this trait is rarely played up with Warpath, his ego regarding his gun and shooting skills is mentioned in his bios, and he appropriately makes his entrance by displaying his sharpshooting skills."

My question is this: How the heck is that a stretch? It notes what was clearly the writer's intention in casting the episode and explains the choice of a character who would seemingly be the odd man out.

I don't do a lot of editing on here, and I genuinely try to do so only when I feel I'm adding something or improving something in accordance with the standards as I understand them, but I've had several edits reverted recently that I had put a good amount of thought into, and the justifications for those reversions have been uniformly unsatisfying and very poorly explained. {{unsigned|Tjfosko}}
:I genuinely don't think the writer put that much thought into it. And unless you have an interview with the writer saying as much, you can't say it was clearly their intention; it was more likely as simple as them being told "here's the toy(s) we want to promote this week, write a story about them". This just feels like adding a note for the sake of adding a note on an overly crowded page. (I personally think a lot of the existing notes don't serve to add much either, so it's not just a you thing.) And please remember to sign your talk page posts. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:29, 15 May 2021 (EDT)

::So, you don't think the writer of the episode picked specifically four glory-hounds to crash a movie studio hoping for stardom, but that he instead got a note saying, "We want you to sell Hoist, Tracks, Sunstreaker, Powerglide, and Warpath this week"? Look at Earl Kress's episode credits. "The Immobilizer" is practically the only episode dealing with Ironhide's age (besides a few minor asides) and actually features a rare instance of Trailbreaker being a jokester. "B.O.T.," for all its flaws, plays up Swindle better than any other episode. "Desertion of the Dinobots" doesn't have the same degree of focus, but the episodes he wrote tend to be very strong in their depictions of characters. Even if your scenario of "promote these toys this week" is accurate (which I don't think it is, as the production materials that I've seen make it seem like Hasbro gave broad strokes with the exception of a few instances of "don't use this guy because we aren't releasing him" (Reflector) or "shove this in somewhere because it's a new toy" (Protectobots)), that only makes the cast more noteworthy, as it's an incredibly convenient accident. It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

I wasn’t trying to remove Nick Studios on the EarthSpark page, I was trying to condense the sentence to be the same one that says how it is developed by eOne and Nick. There was another sentence that said Nick Studios is producing, so I wanted to merge the two and make it say that it is being co-produced and developed by them.

== Puffer ==

I’ve recently added information about g1 Puffer. Unfortunately you deleted my entry, because I had no source. Unfortunately the website where Puffer was first mentioned, does not exist anymore (since it has been more than 20 years ago). So that pretty much rules out any proof I have of my text.
I know for a fact that what I’ve posted, really happened. But I don’t have any proof of that. Is there any way that you do add the information? Just until someone can proof something else (which they can’t because I know what legitimately happened :-))
Hope you can reconsider!
Thanks in advance! {{unsigned|GodGinrai}}
: Sorry, but you need proof for a claim like this. Besides, even if the story was true, I genuinely doubt it's the reason the toy was named as such; like, is there literally ''any'' reason to believe that Hasbro named the toy for that reason and not just the obvious "'''P'''ipes + H'''uffer'''"? Sometimes, the simplest answer is the right one. (Also, remember to type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to sign your talk page posts.) -- 10:49, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
::Well, hold on, I agree that there needs to be more proof, but Hasbro absolutely named the toy that because it was a long-standing fan nickname. If we can find more proof that verifies GodGinrai's story, I think it should absolutely be included; the people at Hasbro might not have known its history, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of inclusion.

== Hoist Goes Hollywood ==

You reverted my edit saying it was "still a stretch." What I wrote was:

"The Autobot cast for this episode is particularly appropriate. Apart from Hoist, all the Autobots who crash the filming in search of stardom are notably vain attention-seekers. Though this trait is rarely played up with Warpath, his ego regarding his gun and shooting skills is mentioned in his bios, and he appropriately makes his entrance by displaying his sharpshooting skills."

My question is this: How the heck is that a stretch? It notes what was clearly the writer's intention in casting the episode and explains the choice of a character who would seemingly be the odd man out.

I don't do a lot of editing on here, and I genuinely try to do so only when I feel I'm adding something or improving something in accordance with the standards as I understand them, but I've had several edits reverted recently that I had put a good amount of thought into, and the justifications for those reversions have been uniformly unsatisfying and very poorly explained. {{unsigned|Tjfosko}}
:I genuinely don't think the writer put that much thought into it. And unless you have an interview with the writer saying as much, you can't say it was clearly their intention; it was more likely as simple as them being told "here's the toy(s) we want to promote this week, write a story about them". This just feels like adding a note for the sake of adding a note on an overly crowded page. (I personally think a lot of the existing notes don't serve to add much either, so it's not just a you thing.) And please remember to sign your talk page posts. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:29, 15 May 2021 (EDT)

::So, you don't think the writer of the episode picked specifically four glory-hounds to crash a movie studio hoping for stardom, but that he instead got a note saying, "We want you to sell Hoist, Tracks, Sunstreaker, Powerglide, and Warpath this week"? Look at Earl Kress's episode credits. "The Immobilizer" is practically the only episode dealing with Ironhide's age (besides a few minor asides) and actually features a rare instance of Trailbreaker being a jokester. "B.O.T.," for all its flaws, plays up Swindle better than any other episode. "Desertion of the Dinobots" doesn't have the same degree of focus, but the episodes he wrote tend to be very strong in their depictions of characters. Even if your scenario of "promote these toys this week" is accurate (which I don't think it is, as the production materials that I've seen make it seem like Hasbro gave broad strokes with the exception of a few instances of "don't use this guy because we aren't releasing him" (Reflector) or "shove this in somewhere because it's a new toy" (Protectobots)), that only makes the cast more noteworthy, as it's an incredibly convenient accident. It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

You removed my parenthetical regarding Whirl's lack of appearance because you believed it had no bearing on his survival.

I was trying to add in some clarity to answer a question I'd been trying to get answered for myself, as I looked through the wiki trying to figure out what happened to Whirl or if he'd died in a story that I somehow didn't have in my collection (since my G1 comics collection is the Titan collections, and with the weird way the UK stories were collected I wasn't 100% positive I had all the relevant stories), and it took far more digging than it should have for me to figure it out, and the Time Wars note did cause me actual confusion.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (EST)

I wasn’t trying to remove Nick Studios on the EarthSpark page, I was trying to condense the sentence to be the same one that says how it is developed by eOne and Nick. There was another sentence that said Nick Studios is producing, so I wanted to merge the two and make it say that it is being co-produced and developed by them. But the caption still doesn’t make sense to me, since it isn’t for Nick alone anymore and the Nick who is a character designer isn’t really the person who the show is "by."

== Puffer ==

I’ve recently added information about g1 Puffer. Unfortunately you deleted my entry, because I had no source. Unfortunately the website where Puffer was first mentioned, does not exist anymore (since it has been more than 20 years ago). So that pretty much rules out any proof I have of my text.
I know for a fact that what I’ve posted, really happened. But I don’t have any proof of that. Is there any way that you do add the information? Just until someone can proof something else (which they can’t because I know what legitimately happened :-))
Hope you can reconsider!
Thanks in advance! {{unsigned|GodGinrai}}
: Sorry, but you need proof for a claim like this. Besides, even if the story was true, I genuinely doubt it's the reason the toy was named as such; like, is there literally ''any'' reason to believe that Hasbro named the toy for that reason and not just the obvious "'''P'''ipes + H'''uffer'''"? Sometimes, the simplest answer is the right one. (Also, remember to type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to sign your talk page posts.) -- 10:49, 4 July 2023 (EDT)
::Well, hold on, I agree that there needs to be more proof, but Hasbro absolutely named the toy that because it was a long-standing fan nickname. If we can find more proof that verifies GodGinrai's story, I think it should absolutely be included; the people at Hasbro might not have known its history, but that doesn't make it any less worthy of inclusion. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 11:14, 4 July 2023 (EDT)

== Hoist Goes Hollywood ==

You reverted my edit saying it was "still a stretch." What I wrote was:

"The Autobot cast for this episode is particularly appropriate. Apart from Hoist, all the Autobots who crash the filming in search of stardom are notably vain attention-seekers. Though this trait is rarely played up with Warpath, his ego regarding his gun and shooting skills is mentioned in his bios, and he appropriately makes his entrance by displaying his sharpshooting skills."

My question is this: How the heck is that a stretch? It notes what was clearly the writer's intention in casting the episode and explains the choice of a character who would seemingly be the odd man out.

I don't do a lot of editing on here, and I genuinely try to do so only when I feel I'm adding something or improving something in accordance with the standards as I understand them, but I've had several edits reverted recently that I had put a good amount of thought into, and the justifications for those reversions have been uniformly unsatisfying and very poorly explained. {{unsigned|Tjfosko}}
:I genuinely don't think the writer put that much thought into it. And unless you have an interview with the writer saying as much, you can't say it was clearly their intention; it was more likely as simple as them being told "here's the toy(s) we want to promote this week, write a story about them". This just feels like adding a note for the sake of adding a note on an overly crowded page. (I personally think a lot of the existing notes don't serve to add much either, so it's not just a you thing.) And please remember to sign your talk page posts. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 23:29, 15 May 2021 (EDT)

::So, you don't think the writer of the episode picked specifically four glory-hounds to crash a movie studio hoping for stardom, but that he instead got a note saying, "We want you to sell Hoist, Tracks, Sunstreaker, Powerglide, and Warpath this week"? Look at Earl Kress's episode credits. "The Immobilizer" is practically the only episode dealing with Ironhide's age (besides a few minor asides) and actually features a rare instance of Trailbreaker being a jokester. "B.O.T.," for all its flaws, plays up Swindle better than any other episode. "Desertion of the Dinobots" doesn't have the same degree of focus, but the episodes he wrote tend to be very strong in their depictions of characters. Even if your scenario of "promote these toys this week" is accurate (which I don't think it is, as the production materials that I've seen make it seem like Hasbro gave broad strokes with the exception of a few instances of "don't use this guy because we aren't releasing him" (Reflector) or "shove this in somewhere because it's a new toy" (Protectobots)), that only makes the cast more noteworthy, as it's an incredibly convenient accident. It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

== Whirl - Marvel UK - Time Wars ==

You removed my parenthetical regarding Whirl's lack of appearance because you believed it had no bearing on his survival. However, no one knows what happened to Whirl since he never appeared, and that makes his survival ambiguous. The current note is also confusing as written because it implies Whirl appears in Time Wars, but he doesn't. I was trying to add in some clarity to answer a question I'd been trying to get answered for myself, as I looked through the wiki trying to figure out what happened to Whirl or if he'd died in a story that I somehow didn't have in my collection (since my G1 comics collection is the Titan collections, and with the weird way the UK stories were collected I wasn't 100% positive I had all the relevant stories), and it took far more digging than it should have for me to figure it out, and the Time Wars note did cause me actual confusion.[[User:Tjfosko|Tjfosko]] ([[User talk:Tjfosko|talk]]) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (EST)

:::I don't think there's any fixing it. Like, it's not even a joke, it's just saying there are other motorcycle characters. Half your examples aren't even main characters. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 01:16, 20 November 2022 (EST)
::::I mean, I’ve seen multiple examples of characters’ main captions comparing them to coincidentally similar characters, but if you say so. [[User:Deathwingtech|DeathwingTech]] 01:27, 20 November 2022 (EST)

Hey obviously I am updating this. Dreadwing has just been mentioned in Siege episode 5 as a Seeker in the past. Not sure where to update this history for the character.--[[User:Grauntlet|Grauntlet]] ([[User talk:Grauntlet|talk]]) 20:12, 26 April 2023 (EDT)

== APOLOGIES! I AM SO SORRY! ==

I made an edit a few days back on the sg Optimus page and didn’t realize that with the context of the image, it seemed like a George Floyd joke. I was trying to make a gag about Donald trump cuz I thought it was funny but I didn’t think about the fact that the image directly mirrored the incident. I take full responsibility for this and sincerely apologize, I hope I’m using this page right also! Yours truly, --[[User:Carno|Carno]] ([[User talk:Carno|talk]]) 12:48, 29 May 2023 (EDT)

== Images ==

I don't know who to write to about it, but I saw you admonished me once about the images, so maybe you'll know something. If I have an image with an unnecessary background (e.g. [[Media:Kinder-Joy-RID15-2017-Steeljaw.jpg|Steeljaw Toy]]), can I upload this image to a graphics program and cut out the background? Thanks in advance for your answer

== This message doesn't seem very mature ==

Look at the top of Talk:Sideways (ROTF) and look at Semysane's message. [[User:SuperKilogram|SuperKilogram]] ([[User talk:SuperKilogram|talk]]) 15:52, 29 June 2023 (EDT)
:What relevance does a talk page message from 13 years ago have to anything? -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 17:01, 29 June 2023 (EDT)

== Should this be on Sideways' page ==

On the Sideways disambiguation page, there is a bullet point that says "Your mom", is that supposed to be there?
[[User:SuperKilogram|SuperKilogram]] ([[User talk:SuperKilogram|talk]]) 15:52, 29 June 2023 (EDT)
:Yes. Sideways once suggested that "your mom" was another incarnation of him in [[Ask Vector Prime]]. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:59, 29 June 2023 (EDT)

== ROTB Screencaps ==

Apologies for the sudden message, but I was wondering if it would be okay to upload screencaps from the YouTube Rise of the Beasts Videos for certain pages for use on character pages. They technically are within the guidelines under the ruling of "No leaks" as the screenshots are from publicly available videos on YouTube via the official Paramount Pictures Channel, and I believe they are of a good picture quality. If we need to wait until a home release is made, then I understand, but I wanted your input before jumping the gun on the matter. -- [[User:MavPolly123|MavPolly123]] ([[User talk:MavPolly123|talk]]) 18:26, 29 June 2023 (EDT)
:Yes, anything screencaps from official trailers or preview clips is fair game. If they're on an official Hasbro or Paramount channel, they're 100% okay to use. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 18:52, 29 June 2023 (EDT)

What seems to be the issue with me merely adding that she was originally adding that she never transformed or that she was supposed to?
:Because both those things are already noted on her page. Also, sign your posts. (Type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 20:56, 2 July 2023 (EDT)
:I added to one of those and that's when you replied back to stop edit-warring it.

== Puffer ==

I’ve recently added information about g1 Puffer. Unfortunately you deleted my entry, because I had no source. Unfortunately the website where Puffer was first mentioned, does not exist anymore (since it has been more than 20 years ago). So that pretty much rules out any proof I have of my text.
I know for a fact that what I’ve posted, really happened. But I don’t have any proof of that. Is there any way that you do add the information? Just until someone can proof something else (which they can’t because I know what legitimately happened :-))
Hope you can reconsider!
Thanks in advance!

:''Puffer is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]] portion of the [[Generation 1 continuity family]].''
[[File:TF-WFC-GDC-Through-the-Vortex-Puffer.jpg|upright=2|thumb|From the people who brought you "[[Bumper (G1)|Bumblejumper]]" and "[[Blast (G1)|Blast]]"...]]

'''Puffer''' was created from a time anomaly, fusing the [[Autobot|Autobots]] [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]] and [[Huffer (G1)|Huffer]] into one being. Despite his rather bizarre origin, he can still tussle with the best of them.

==Fiction==
===''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' marketing material===
Due to the effects of the [[quantum surge]], a vortex in time and space was torn open which not only fused Huffer and Pipes into a single being but also sent them hurtling back in time to prehistoric [[Earth]] alongside the [[GoBot]] [[Road Ranger]]. {{storylink|Source:Kingdom Golden Disk Collection#CHAPTER 1: THROUGH THE VORTEX|Golden Disk Collection Chapter 1}} The pair eventually met two more victims of the vortex, Puffer's fellow Autobot [[Jackpot (G1)|Jackpot]] and his partner [[Sights (G1)|Sights]], and joined them in their efforts to stop [[Terrorsaur (BW)|Terrorsaur]] and the mutated [[Tigatron]] from stealing the [[Transwarp cell]] aboard the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''. {{storylink|Source:Kingdom Golden Disk Collection#CHAPTER 2: …AND OUT THE OTHER SIDE|Golden Disk Collection Chapter 2}} The four of them managed to reach the ship before the beasts and delivered a surprise attack upon their arrival. After helping to defeat Terrorsaur, the restored Tigatron enacted a plan to prevent the vortex from ever opening by sending the ''Nemesis'' back in time to the moment of the quantum surge. Puffer would be the only one to survive Tigatron's plan, as he and the Transwarp drive were launched in a pod away from the ''Nemesis'' before the quantum surge hit and completely destroyed the ship, lessening the surge's impact on the planet below and putting history on its [[Aftermath|proper path]]. Lucky him? {{storylink|Source:Kingdom Golden Disk Collection#CHAPTER 4: THE TERRORFYING CONCLUSION|Golden Disk Collection Chapter 4}}

*'''Autobot Puffer / Autobot Road Ranger''' (Golden Disk Collection 2-pack, [[2021]])
**''Chapter 1: Through the Vortex''
**''Accessories'': 2 pipe blasters

:Part of the first release in the [[War for Cybertron: Kingdom#Exclusives|Golden Disk Collection]], ''[[War for Cybertron: Kingdom]]'' "Autobot Puffer" is a redeco and retool of ''Kingdom'' Deluxe Class [[Pipes (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Pipes]] in colors based on Pipes's Generation 1 [http://www.fredsworkshop.com/puffer.html European variant] release. His head is accurate to Pipes's Generation 1 toy head, sporting a visor, instead of the animation-influenced eyes and nose of ''Kingdom'' Pipes. Puffer transforms into a cab-over truck in 16 steps, and includes a pair of pipe blasters that can store on his vehicle mode's back or as smokestacks. His robot mode is covered in [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]]/[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]] play patterns. He also has a torso transformation joint that functions as an ab-crunch.

:As a carryover from Huffer, Puffer can tow ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generations toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Optimus Prime]]'s trailer (or any of its redecoes).

:Puffer was only available in a multi-pack with his mold-mate "[[Road Ranger#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|Autobot Road Ranger]]". This set was revealed and made available for pre-order on [[September 27]], 2021, and was the first of four daily announcements concerning the Golden Disk Collection; as with the other sets in this series, Puffer and Road Ranger's packaging is printed with a portion of a [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] graphic, and customers are encouraged to collect all four packs to unite the full image. The set is an [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]] and [[Hasbro Pulse]] exclusive in the [[United States of America|U.S.]], [[Canada]], and the [[United Kingdom]].

:Despite originally being scheduled for a [[March]] [[2022]] release, the set started releasing in [[December]] of 2021.

==Notes==
[[File:G1toy European Pipes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4||A fusion of Huffer and Pipes… So he collects American consumerism then complains about it?]]
* Puffer is loosely based on the [[Pipes (G1)#Toys|the toy Pipes received]] during "Generation 1" only in some parts of Europe, which was a straight redeco of [[Huffer (G1)#Toys|Huffer's toy]] in Pipes-ish colors. We say "loosely based" because, rather than using the concurrent [[Huffer (G1)#War for Cybertron: Kingdom|''Kingdom'' Huffer]] "G1 toy" version of the mold, Puffer is (mostly) a straight redeco of ''Kingdom'' Pipes, except for the head (which is still based on Pipes's original toy, rather than any version of Huffer)… essentially making it Pipes in slightly-off Pipes colors. This was likely done so as not to have two identical toolings in the same box, which, as we all know, is ''[[Seeker (body-type)|never done]]''.
* The name "Puffer" is a deliberate portmanteau of '''P'''ipes and H'''uffer''', a concept taken very literally by the published bio, devised by fans to refer to said European Pipes variant (as well as the similar, but distinct, [[IGA]] [[Pipes (G1)#IGA|Pipes]] released in Mexico). Its use in the Golden Disk Collection marks another instance of a fan nickname being [[Canonizing|canonized]], which the product description for the set notes with the baffling turn of phrase that it "features a fun fan nod (insert nod here)".
* The name “Puffer” first appeared when Dutch Transformers fan Jasper van den Brink owned a Transformer in the late 90s, which was then simply known as a ‘Blue Huffer’. Jasper, who was a fan of the name ‘BumbleJumper’, named his Transformer ‘Puffer’ (following the same idea as a a combination of the names from Bumblebee and Cliffjumper). Fellow Transformers collector and friend, Daniel “Devvi” Vink, already had a collection of odd minibots and really wanted Jasper’s Blue Huffer. Jasper agreed to give it to him, but only if he named him ‘Puffer’ as well. Daniel agreed and in the online article he wrote about it, he named him Puffer. And the rest, as they say, is history.
* Puffer was also briefly named ‘Klaas’ (a typical Dutch name), but that remained more of an inside joke between Jasper and Daniel than anything else.
