Talk:Mister Johnson

GoodMudkip: /* Should we merge this with the other page? */ new section

== "Mister" ==

"Mister" replaced nothing. It's "Mister Branson" in the original version and the only way we got "Richard Branson" was the lead paragraph for the issue.

PS: The strikethrough of everything isn't funny. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 17:32, 28 November 2018 (EST)
:Walky was clearly speaking in jest when he said Mister replaced Richard, but there's no real reason this article can't be at Mister Johnson anyway. And besides, is this really something you wanna pick a fight with the owner of the site over?

:PS: Yes it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -[[User:Foffy the Sheep|Foffy]] ([[User talk:Foffy the Sheep|talk]]) 17:40, 28 November 2018 (EST)
:Saix, for once in your life could you ''not'' be a joyless robot and accept that not everything has to follow a rigid set of immutable guidelines? - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 21:24, 28 November 2018 (EST)

== Should we merge this with the other page? ==

Does anyone else think that we should combine this article with the one on Richard Branson? I know that they're technically separate people since one is a real British billionaire and the other is a lookalike meant to dodge lawsuits for using his likeness, but minus the strikethroughs, they're pretty much the exact same article. It feels weird having two articles like this, and if we can't merge them, are we at least able to rewrite one to feel a little more unique from the other? Thanks.

War for Cybertron: Kingdom

[[File:WFC-Kingdom-main-artwork.jpg|thumb|250px|Reject vehicularity. Return to munky.]]
'''''War For Cybertron: Kingdom''''' is a [[subline imprint]] of the ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' toyline, and the final portion of the ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]''.

First revealed at [[Hasbro PulseCon 2020]], ''War for Cybertron: Kingdom'' is a [[2021]] toyline in celebration of the 25th anniversary of ''[[Beast Wars: Transformers (toyline)|Beast Wars]]'' and the 35th anniversary of ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', featuring characters from both series. As a direct continuation of ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' and ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'', ''Kingdom'' carries over the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], meaning most toys feature 3 mm and [[5 mm post]]s to accommodate the weapons and the effect parts from ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' and other toylines. Due to the realistic animal modes, ''Beast Wars'' characters employ the C.O.M.B.A.T. System far less compared to their "Generation 1" counterparts. Much like its predecessor, ''Kingdom'' has rereleases of toys from the previous subline, ''Earthrise''.

This toyline sees the addition of the "Core Class", a return to the Legends Class from the ''[[Prime Wars Trilogy]]'', replacing the [[Micromaster]]s and [[Battle Master]]s of previous lines. ''Kingdom'' also features the "Fossilizers", new skeletal characters amongst the Deluxe Class, replacing the Weaponizers and [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulators]]. As part of the "[[F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology]]" (Fossilized Osteo-Skeletal Shield Integration Loadout), they can be taken apart to form armor or weapons compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. System. Unlike ''Siege'' and ''Earthrise'', the robot mode [[scale]] falters due to the larger size of the ''Beast Wars'' characters and the smaller size of "Generation 1" characters in the Core Class.

''Kingdom'' is complemented by 2021's ''[[Studio Series]]'' line-up, which saw toys inspired by ''The Transformers: The Movie'' added to that toyline for the first time. Notable characters from the film are split between the two toylines – for instance, [[Cyclonus (G1)/toys|Cyclonus]] appears in ''Kingdom'', whereas [[Scourge (G1)/toys|Scourge]] is a ''Studio Series'' release.

Befitting its eclectic mix of characters from different eras, the storytelling universe of ''Kingdom'' is based around time travel and paradoxes, and the fluid nature of the timeline is reflected in the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]] cards. One card out of four in each wave is randomly included in every figure of Deluxe Class and upwards, and peeling its foil sticker face away reveals one of three possible destinies for a key character. A full list of Golden Disk destinies can be found [[Source:Golden Disk destinies|here]].

==== Store exclusives ====
Please note that the exclusivity listed below applies to the United States. Much like the ''Earthrise'' Deluxe Centurion Drone, Tricranius Beast Power is not branded as part of ''Kingdom'', but is nonetheless registered on this wiki page due to having a ''Kingdom'' ID number. The "Battle Across Time Collection" pair and its connected artwork are in the same vein as the [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]]-exclusive "Final Strike Series" from ''Siege'', though the ''Kingdom'' pair are also available on [[Hasbro Pulse]].

The "Golden Disk Collection" was a subline unveiled late into ''Kingdom'', focusing on a mysterious alternate timeline with different consequences from the [[quantum surge]]. Each entry's listing features a short story about the characters included and a box that forms a large [[:File:Kingdom-Golden-Disk-cardback.jpg|image]] of the Golden Disk. In one of its many similarities to the ''Earthrise'' "Galactic Odyssey Collection", the sets are exclusive to Hasbro Pulse and Amazon in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

==Notes==
[[File:PulseCon-Kingdom-promo-art.jpg|thumb|300px|"I have forged this toyline into a single, elegant machine. A vision of [[GEEWUN]] purity. And you mongrels would dare contaminate that vision with your accursed Beast Wars!"]]
*In July 2020, Chapter 1 of the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon, ''Siege'', was promoted with several motion posters highlighting members of the main cast. In each of these posters, a letter from the [[Cybertronian language|"Ancient Autobot" alphabet]] created by [[Jim Sorenson]] can be seen flashing in the background. Putting the letters in the correct order officially revealed the name of the trilogy's final subline, "Kingdom".<ref>[https://twitter.com/nxonnetflix/status/1283960126613774338 Netflix video of all motion posters with the announcement of KINGDOM.]</ref>
*Starting in August 2020 and extending through the toyline's run, various photos of toys were leaked to the public, along with many online store listings, unofficially revealing much of the toyline.
*''Kingdom'' toys of Deluxe Class and upwards utilize new packaging that minimizes plastic waste. Gone are the familiar inner trays, replaced by having the toys affixed to the cardboard insert inside, and the size of the window on the front of the packaging is reduced, showcasing less of the toy and increasing the size of the [[package art]].
*[[Hasbro PulseCon 2020]] revealed a poster that shows off what was possibly an early version of the ''Kingdom'' line. Of note, the poster features a very different robot mode for Ractonite compared to the actual toy and a mostly purple Vertebreak, as well as two unique Fossilizers (a ''Smilodon'' and a crocodilian of some kind) that are yet to be seen anywhere else. [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] and [[Polar Claw]], two characters not included in the actual line so far, are also present in the artwork.
* Like with previous lines, ''Kingdom'' also assigned code names to at least the new Fossilizer characters:
{{collist|3|
:::*Dracodon: "Autobot Fossil"
:::*Paleotrex: "Trex Bone"
:::*Ractonite: "Cat Bone"
:::*Vertebreak: "Decepticon Fossil"
:::*Wingfinger: "New Bone"
}}
* Based on store listings found by the fandom around mid-2021, the ID number WFC-K36 was to be a re-release of [[Starscream (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|''Earthrise'' Starscream]], presumably meant as a casemate for WFC-K35 Tigatron.<ref>[https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/04/07/new-amazon-australia-transformers-listings-shattered-glass-and-golden-disk-figures-project-bat-and-more-431028 New Amazon Australia Transformers Listings article on TFW2005], including "Tra Gen wfc k voyager Starscream PR [packaging refresh]"</ref> Since a [[Starscream (G1)/toys#Studio Series|''Studio Series'' retool]] of the ''Earthrise'' Starscream mold had been made instead, all plans for a re-release were presumably dropped, leaving the ID number space unused. Additionally, apparent changes to the release schedule meant that the ID numbers for Autobot Pipes and Autobot Slammer fell ''between'' those for Shadow Panther and Waspinator, despite them being released in a later wave.
* The ''Kingdom'' line is dramatically lighter on ''Generations Selects'' products than the previous two entries in the trilogy, partially due to the technically ''Kingdom''-released [[Deep Cover#Generations Selects|Deep Cover]] and ''Generation 2'' [[Ramjet (G1)/toys#Generations Selects|Ramjet]] being branded as part of the previous ''Earthrise'' line.

GoodMudkip: /* Mario Day? */

== Mario Day? ==

I know that Mario Day has absolutely nothing to do with Transformers, but seeing as how this wiki recognizes May the 4th as Star Wars Day, is it alright if we put something about Mario Day on the calendar as well? [[User:GoodMudkip|GoodMudkip]] ([[User talk:GoodMudkip|talk]]) 14:32, 3 March 2022 (EST)
:[[Star Wars (franchise)|Star Wars]] has crossed over with Transformers multiple times. Mario hasn't. If we ever end up making a Mario article, then maybe we can reconsider, but for now, hard pass. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 14:40, 3 March 2022 (EST)
::I agree with Cyberlink. The closest thing to Mario in Transformers right now is Animated Huffer, and that's just a fun nod, not a full on collaboration.--[[User:CyclonustheWarrior|CyclonustheWarrior]] ([[User talk:CyclonustheWarrior|talk]]) 14:42, 3 March 2022 (EST)

Howdy-do all! I'm the Good Mudkip. I've lurked on the TF Wiki for a while now, and I figured that making a user page would help legitimize my presence here on the wiki.

I don't see myself doing much contribution to the wiki pages itself, just engaging in discussions and maybe making some small edits here and there, but you can be certain that whenever there's something to discuss, I'm more than willing to put in my two cents on the matter.

While I'm a big fan of Transformers, my other interests include TF2, TTTE, Nintendo, and others. I hope I'll be welcome here!

GoodMudkip: /* Hit her with a shovel joke. */

Ep 9 summary

Needs serious work

==New pics and Edits==

I'm uploaded some fine pics of the prototype, and made some minor edits... and it may look good on the page, but the edit page is a mess. Somebody, please, fix it! --[[User:Hepathos|Hepathos]] 21:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

==Caption==

In response to ItsWalky on 1/8/07, the problem with the caption is that if you don't know what "Goth Talk" is, then you have to read about it to understand the caption, and that kinda kills any momentum the joke might have going for it.
Also the fact that she doesn't really even look goth. Just spikey and purple.
: And the problem with the replacement caption is that if you don't know what "Come into my parlor etc" references, then you'd have to read about it to understand the caption! What is the difference? They are both references to things. The previous one was nice enough to provide a link, for those who don't know the reference. I don't see why that should be penalized. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 22:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
::Its all a matter of obscurity. Sometimes something that may be funny to you is not understood by the majority of viewers because of unfamiliarity of what it is a reference too.--[[User:Skyglide|Skyglide]] 23:18, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

== Added her backstory ==

So, what do you guys think?

[[User:Dynamus Prime|Dynamus Prime]] 16:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Dynamus Prime
: I think you probably ruined the episode for a lot of people, since it aired not a few minutes on the east coast before you threw spoilers everywhere. Please use better judgment in the future. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 19:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
::And the fact that you expect kudos for it is more than a little odd. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 19:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
: I think you're a butthole. Is that inappropriate flaming? If so, I redact it, and I think that that kind of behavior might be interpreted as having butthole tendencies. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 02:12, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
::''"I think you're a butthole"''...yeah, that's flaming. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 21:27, 16 February 2008 (EST)

=== Beast Mode ===
I'm guessing what's needed is a cleaner shot of ''Blackarachnia''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s beast mode, since we don't know what Elita-1's alt mode was...--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 20:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah. That's why I put a comma after Elita-1. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 20:58, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
::I get it now, thanks. My at-a-glance parsing needs work.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 23:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

== Spoilers ==
I question the use of bold text for "Elita-1" in the summary, considering it is the line immediately after the spoiler tag. The theory behind the tag is that it will catch a person's attention before they begin reading the following text, and that it will thus be processed first so the person can turn away if they do not wish to be spoiled.
But the bold text for that name, I think, has the same attention-capture effect as the spoiler tag. Even though it's only a name, and bolding it might fit with the style guide (hm), I think some discretion might be in order here. --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 04:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Quick Toy Question ==
I'm looking at the Hasbro stock photo and the exposed portion of her face looks rather deeply recessed compared to the rest. Is the helmet removable or did the picture get overly Photoshopped?--[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] 04:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:Scratch that, ASM pictures cleared it up.--[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] 04:46, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Yes, She is an Homage ==

On reflection, do we really need a bit in the Trivia section about how she looks like the previous character of the same name? I mean, that's true for most of the Animated characters. Should we have a trivia point on [[Ratchet (Animated)]]'s page about how he looks like the original Ratchet? [[User:JW|JW]] 14:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:Nah,only for characters that are a visual homage to a character they're ''not'' named after. Like Bulkhead's Hound-inspired colors.[[Special:Contributions/86.87.28.191|86.87.28.191]] 17:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
::Would it be worth mentioning that her robot mode design seems to be specifically inspired by the unreleased [[:Image:Blackwidowwildrider.jpg|Binaltech Blackwidow]]? That doesn't seem like it would be as obvious to the average fan as the fact that Ratchet et al are inspired by their G1 incarnations or that Waspinator is inspired by his BW incarnation. --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] 21:01, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
:::Not really. Every single visual cue she got from Binaltech Blackwidow had originally shown up on Transmetal 2 Blackarachnia. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 21:17, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
The original question of this section baffles me. Of course we should a note on this page that she was based on Beast Wars Blackarachnia! And yes, we damn sure should also have a note on Ani. Racthet's page that he homages G1 Ratchet. How is this even a ''question''? It doesn't matter how "obvious" this stuff seems to us, if you're a fan who's only ever watched Animated, it's not at all obvious to you which characters were based on the previous incarnations of Transformers you're not familiar with. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 22:38, 25 August 2010 (EDT)
:I have to agree with JW, for the uninitiated the idea that [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] and [[Blackarachnia (Animated)|Blackarachnia]] are different characters is not one that immediately springs to mind. Therefore a note that this BA is an homage to a previous BA is a bit like saying "she is designed to look like herself". It's a "well, duh" moment. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:48, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
: If we decide to note when a character resembles an earlier character of the same name, we'll have to add notes to ''hundreds'' of pages on this wiki. "Optimus Prime (Animated) looks like Optimus Prime (Movie) looks like Optimus Prime (Armada) looks like Optimus Prime (RID) looks like Optimus Prime (G1)." "Bumblebee (Animated) looks like Bumblebee (Movie) looks like Bumblebee (G1)." And so on and so on and so on. It's ''normal'' for this to happen. (Heck, I'd be ''far'' more inclined to add notes when the characters are notably ''different,'' like all the Scourges.) For people who have seen only Animated, once they click on the disambig link, it'll all be obvious. [[User:JW|JW]] 11:02, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
:: So, I favor cutting the "Blackarachnia is based on the original Blackarachnia, who first appeared in the Beast Wars franchise," trivia note, lest we also add "Optimus Prime is based on the original Optimus Prime, who first appeared in the G1 franchise," "Bumblebee is based on the original Bumblebee, who first appeared in the G1 franchise," "Ratchet is based on the original Ratchet, who first appeared in the G1 franchise," "Waspinator is based on the original Waspinator, who first appeared in the Beast Wars franchise," to their pages, et cetera, ad nauseum. [[User:JW|JW]] 11:08, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
::: And I favor adding such notes. To me, this is a no-brainer. People who have only ever seen Animated, and no nothing at all about previous iterations of TFs, have no way of knowing if characters in the show they like were based on older versions. New fans come into Transformers all the time. This wiki should be for them too! Before I added that note, there was no link on this page to [[Blackarachnia (BW)]]. ''That's crazy.'' --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 11:56, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
::: Oh, and I completely disagree that the disambig link is enough. They're not really there to convey information about the character. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 11:59, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
::::To people who have only ever seen Animated, it would be most logical for them to think that any previous TF with the same name as an Animated TF was the SAME CHARACTER as that Animated TF. For a newbie, it's all Transformers and Optimus is Optimus is Optimus, Megatron is Megatron is Megatron, and Blackarachnia is Blackarachnia is Blackarachnia. It is logical that if there was a Transformer named X before the X you are familiar with that it is the same, and that there probably is a similarity of appearance. It is only when the canon goes explicitly against this trend that we need to call it out (for example BW Inferno is completely different from previous and subsequent Infernoes)> To me, THAT is the no brainer. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 12:04, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
::::: I don't understand what point you're making. The point I'm making boils down to this this: Animated Blackarachnia was based on Beast Wars Blackarachnia. This is a fundamental fact about the character, thus it should be stated in this article. The same holds true for every other article about a character who has based on an earlier charcter. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 12:11, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
::::::I don't know how I can make it any clearer. To an outsider the two Blackarachnias would seem like the same character, and would thus need no more explicit note of the connection than does the Superman of today need a note explaining that he is based on the Superman of 1938. Same name, within the same brand is expected to be the same character. To say that a character looks like itself is rather silly. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 12:33, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
:::::::You assume outsiders even ''know'' there was another Blackarachnia before ''Animated''. The note is for those who do ''not'' know, and expands their knowledge base by explaining to them where the idea for the character they've only just discovered came from. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 13:03, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
::::::::I'm assuming that when they find out that there was a Blackarachnia before ''Animated'' that they would expect the more recent one to have been inspired by its predecessor. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 13:21, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
::::::::Incidentally, someone who comes to this wiki knowing ''only'' about Animated Blackarachnia, and enters "Blackarachnia" in the search box, is going to be sent to the disambiguation page ''before'' they come to ''this'' page. [[User:JW|JW]] 13:38, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
(Exdenting for readability.) [[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] said, above, "And I favor adding such notes [of the form ''Optimus Blackarachnia (Animated) is based on the original Blackarachnia (BW), who first appeared in the Beast Wars franchise'']." KMMC, if you genuinely believe we should add such notes wiki-wide, I recommend you propose it on the Community Portal. [[User:JW|JW]] 13:31, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
:I'm pretty sure most articles about homage characters ''already'' note who they're an homage to, as is just common sense. I didn't think I was proposing some change in policy or anything. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 16:03, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
::It's a mistake to confuse "what makes sense to you" with "common sense". Of the six "main" Animated characters who are clearly based on G1 counterparts:
::* Optimus: His only link to Op (G1) is hidden in a discussion of his ears.
::* Bumblebee: Contains a few links to BB (G1), one of them hidden, one of them about the "Legacy of Bumblebee" 3-pack, and one of them about a toy's deco.
::* Ratchet: An incidental link about a toy's redeco.
::* Blitzwing: No link to his G1 counterpart at all.
::* Starscream: Only in the discussion of his voice.
::* Megatron: Does have a note about how he looks like Megatron (G1)'s Battlestars body, and how his cannon makes a similar noise.
::So, for six characters, none of them contain anything like "Foo (Animated) is based on the original Foo (G1), who first appeared...", one has ''no'' link to his predecessor, most have only incidental links, and only one really has a link that says, "And he's based on this guy." I welcome counterexamples. Your idea, if implemented, would require additions to scores of pages, and thus ''is'' a policy change. Please propose it on the Community Portal if you're serious about it. [[User:JW|JW]] 16:25, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
::: ....I certainly don't consider "homage characters should note whom they're homaging" to be "my idea." And I don't think the particular form of the notation is what's important. Counterexamples? Any and all pages where homages are already noted. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 17:23, 26 August 2010 (EDT)
:::: Please point me to examples. I found none to speak of. [[User:JW|JW]] 19:11, 26 August 2010 (EDT)

==Opposite Sex==
''"Blackarachnia acts differently around robots of the 'opposite sex' depending on faction; "'' 
I point out that we have no frickin' clue how she acts around robots of the ''same'' sex, since no such meetings have been chronicled. This sentence probably needs rephrasing. [[User:JW|JW]] 14:26, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

==Transformation==
Do we need a mention of this in trivia? She's hardly the only spinny transformer there. We've seen BB and Prime do it a few times. Ratchet..Bulkhead..Prowl..list goes on.[[User:GWolfv2]]
:Yes, but she's the only one that we haven't seen a full transformation for, unlike all the others. -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 20:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, so why make a huge rigmerole of it. Why not have one line. "Thus far, we have yet to see BA have anything but a spinning transformation" or such?

==non-final character model==
[[Image:AniBlackarachniaPromoModel.jpg | thumb | left | "A non-final character model for Blackarachnia was included in the initial Transformers Animated press kit from Cartoon Network. Her toy appears to follow this one more closely in relation to the spider legs positioning in robot mode than the final model." ]]

Shouldn't we note that that version of the character model WAS used in the first episode? you know, coz it was. --[[User:Skyglide|Skyglide]] 23:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

:Uh, why? [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 01:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:: Why indeed? I disagree. We give a page to each character, and she's the same as another character. She deserves a page no more than Orion Pax or the original Ariel do. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:I think that the current redirect is okay, but time will tell on the sad fate on Elita-1...-- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 01:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:::I'm obviously in the minority here, and I don't know the history behind the majority opinion. What criteria is required for a character to have their own page?--[[User:Suzyprime|Suzyprime]] 01:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
::::They need to be a distinct character. The ''Animated'' Elita-1 is the same character as the ''Animated'' Blackarachnia. They aren't two different people. They're one person who went by two different names at different points in her life, like G1 Bumblebee and G1 Goldbug. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 02:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

::Galvatron has unique circumstances. The comic version pulled alternate Galvatrons out of everywhere and even had one or two meet Megatron, plus the fact IDW made him a distinct character. It's a complicated mess better served by two pages. (And Megatron's page is ungodly long as is already.) Elita-1 and Blackarachnia, along with most name changes, is just one straight line. She was Elita-1, but is now Blackarachnia. That's it. [[User:Interrobang|—Interrobang]] 02:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

== Current Releases Series Addition ==

== HELP an under-construction wiki regarding ads? ==

Hello, I'm the head admin of a fellow wiki currently in the final stages of becoming independent from Wikia. There is only a very small amount of things left to do before making the official reveal, one of those (and a rather important one) being ads. Can anyone tell me how you added the "Advertisements" port on the sidebar on the left? And how you added things to that such as a Donate button? I can't seem to find any useful info online. Is it an extension that is being used, and if so, in what way and what extension is it? If you don't know how it works but maybe you know someone who does know, can you lead me to a way to contact them so I can ask? The wiki URL is my username, but add a .org at the end.

Please and thank you!! :) [[User:Wikizilla|Wikizilla]] ([[User talk:Wikizilla|talk]]) 19:06, 1 September 2016 (EDT)

Box); you gotta scroll down and dig out a link from the "Schedule", and the most obvious direct links are at the literal bottom of the page. This seems very wrong, ''especially'' given there are now three non-continuing series in the Navigation bar (which also end up in the "Current Releases" box on the right).

::::::::Yeah, I think that's why. A situation where Wikia/Fandom grabs tfwiki.info or whatever and points it at their Transformers Wikia would be a recipe for confusion. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 17:31, 18 June 2019 (EDT)

== Fall of Cybertron toyline ==

I find it odd that Fall of Cybertron is the only franchise in the Series Information featurebox to not have a link to its own toyline. Even the original War for Cybertron has a redirect pointing to its five toys released on the Generations line. So wouldn't it make sense to also include a redirect for the FOC section of the Generations line under the FOC franchise here?

== Family Guy Cutaway Gag ==

I remember seeing this cutaway skit on Youtube from Family Guy themed around Transformers. Something about a Decepticon named Negatron who turns into a canoe. Is it worth making a page about at all? [[User:GoodMudkip|GoodMudkip]] ([[User talk:GoodMudkip|talk]]) 15:48, 28 September 2021 (EDT)

::^ Correct. We don't cover other shows making reference to Transformers unless it's an official collaboration with Hasbro. The only exception is we'll sometimes make brief mention on a voice actor's page if they reprise their character for a parody, such as David Kaye voicing Megatron in Robot Chicken. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 15:55, 28 September 2021 (EDT)
:::Funny you should mention the thing about David Kaye, since the skit I'm talking about had Frank Welker reprise his role as Megatron. I don't know if that makes it eligible to make a page about, but I thought it was worth bringing up. [[User:GoodMudkip|GoodMudkip]] ([[User talk:GoodMudkip|talk]]) 16:06, 28 September 2021 (EDT)
::::Still not worth a page. And we already have a note on Welker's page about him reprising Megatron and Soundwave in parodies on other shows. -- [[User:Cyberlink420|Cyberlink420]] ([[User talk:Cyberlink420|talk]]) 16:09, 28 September 2021 (EDT)

== Soundwave and the space bridge ==

Why is this a continuity error? He pulled the same trick with the GroundBridge in Orion Pax, so I don't see why he couldn't have worked out a way to do the same thing with the space bridge. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 18:50, 19 June 2013 (EDT)
:But then why'd they have to fly all the way to the space bridge last time, then?[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 20:02, 19 June 2013 (EDT)
::The last time I can recall them physically going to the space bridge offhand was in "Alpha/Omega", which isn't necessarily an error. In storytelling terms they wanted to reestablish the space bridge and explain where it was hidden.
::Given the way the Decepticons just stroll through the space bridge at the end of "Regeneration", it seems as though they had it opening portals remotely at least back that far. Either way, I think if the writers have decided he can do it and are intentionally writing the episodes that way, I don't think we should treat it as an error. It's not like it's unprecedented as he was using the GroundBridge the same way. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 20:33, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

== Return of The Living Dead reference ==

Facts are slightly wrong on this one the gas itself was not the cause of the cemetery being reanimated. That happened after their boss got the brilliant idea to cremate the chopped up cadaver zombie from the warehouse and the smoke went up into some rain clouds causing the rain to wake the cemetery [[User:The Krypt Angel|The Krypt Angel]] 21:02, 29 July 2013 (EDT)

== Series spoilers ==

While I do think the "Starscream's actions in this episode end up having much worse consequences then they first appear" section is interesting, is it not a bit spoilerific? I know that the show aired a while ago now, but a paragraph basically devoted to "and here's what happens in the rest of the series" seems a bit much. Maybe it could be moved to the final episode? (I have actually tried to avoid reading it, as I'm only up to "Evolution", so this comment might not be appropriate. [[User:LiamK|LiamK]] 15:56, 30 September 2013 (EDT)

==Terrorcon vs. Energy Vampires==
The page describes the infected Deceptions as Terrorcons. However, I'd say it's far more akin to an [[Energy vampire]]. The Terrocons we've seen previously behave in a completely different manner. They cannot speak, don't specifically seek Energon, and have no control of themselves. If no one has any objections, I'm changing it. [[User:Hellzapoppin|Hellzapoppin]] ([[User talk:Hellzapoppin|talk]]) 18:56, 15 July 2020 (EDT)

Transformers timeline

2020-09-10T21:51:20Z

GoodMudkip: Added WFC Trilogy's premiere date.

{{disambig2|real world events|the 'Timelines' franchise|Transformers Timelines (franchise)}}
{{disambig2|real world events|the internal timeline of various stories|Continuity}}
[[File:RiseUpPretenders hourglass.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|Like sands through the breem glass...]]
''This is a timeline of Transformers-related events that occurred in the "real" world, including release dates and other major occurrences.''

==The dawn of time==
===13500000000 BCE===
* The Big Bang creates the universe as we know it. The protons, neutrons, and electrons that will eventually compose Transformers are formed, [[Ruined FOREVER|ruining it forever.]] A {{w|Last Thursdayism|Thursday}}.

===4540000000 BCE===
*[[Earth]] forms, completing a one-time [[transformation]] from protoplanetary debris to planet ([[Action Master|but not back]]). A highly-sought one-time collector's item, it has no known [[Generation 1 reissues|reissues]].

===4004 BCE===
* [[October 23]]: [[God]] creates the universe in six literal days.<ref>''Genesis'' 1:1; the time is determined by adding up the ages of Adam and his descendants.</ref> On the seventh day, he takes a break and does whatever omnipotent beings do for leisure.

===3760 BCE===
* [[September 25]]: The universe comes into existence. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac}}

{{note|The exact date of this [[universal stream]]'s creation is somewhat muddled, as seen in the three different dates seen above. The account dating it to 4004 BCE is the one used in early recorded [[human]] history, but was later [[retcon]]ned within scientific literature, which established the much earlier date above. More recently, [[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac]] has implicitly dated the universe's creation to 3760 BCE in another retcon. As Hasbro-sanctioned material, this account is assumed to take precedence in [[canon]], at least with regard to the [[Transformers brand]]; however, it is unclear whether the event represents God's six-day creation, the Big Bang, or another, as-yet-unrevealed origin.}}

==1920s==
===1923===
* Henry and Helal Hassenfeld form the Hassenfeld Brothers company, selling textile remnants.

===1924===
* The Japanese toy company [[TakaraTomy|Tomiyama Toy Factory]] is founded.

==1940s==
* The Hassenfeld brothers produce their first toys: pretend doctor and nurse sets.

==1950s==
===1952===
* The Hassenfeld brothers enjoy their first ''bona fide'' success with the release of the original [[Mr. Potato Head]], cementing their company's reputation as toymakers.

===1955===
* [[September 17]] — The Japanese company Satō Vinyl Industries, Ltd., which would later become [[TakaraTomy|Takara]], is founded.

==1960s==
===1963===
* Tomiyama Toy Company changes its name to Tomy.

===1964===
* Hassenfeld Brothers introduces [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]], the first "action figure."

===1967===
* [[July 4]] - Takara introduces the [[Licca Kayama|Licca-chan]] fashion doll.

===1968===
* The big wheels at Hassenfeld Brothers decide to make it easier for fans of their future toylines to curse their name by rebranding the company Hasbro Industries.

==1970s==
===1970===
* Takara acquires the license to introduce ''G.I. Joe'' to Japan. Eventually, Takara takes advantage of the 12" Joe figures' interchangeable parts to create a spinoff toyline called ''Henshin Cyborg'' (Transforming Cyborg).

===1974===
* Takara launches the ''[[Microman]]'' toyline, which represents a scaled-down version of the ''Henshin Cyborg'' [[gimmick]], and which will later be exported to the West as ''Micronauts''.

===1975===
* [[Robotman]], the first ever transforming robot/vehicle toy, is added to the ''Microman'' line. This toy will later become known in the West as the Micronaut Biotron.<ref>[http://www.microforever.com/Robotman-Biotron.htm Robotman Series / Victory Series]</ref>

==1980s==
===1980===
* Takara launches the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline.

===1982===
* March - The first two toys from Takara's ''Diaclone Car Robo'' line, No.1 Countach LP-500S Super Tuning (red version) and No.2 Onebox Cherry Vanette (black version), are released to stores in Japan. These toys' molds would later be used in ''Transformers'' as [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys|Sunstreaker]] and [[Ironhide (G1)/toys|Ironhide]], respectively.

* April - The first four toys from the [[Popy]] company's ''[[Machine Robo]]'' line are released to stores in Japan. They will go on to be better known in the West as [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)|Cy-Kill]], Tank, Fitor, and Cop-Tur of the evil Renegades in [[Tonka]]'s ''[[GoBots]]'' line, the closest competitor to ''Transformers''.

* October 3 - ''The Super Dimension Fortress Macross'' debuts on Japanese television, featuring the transforming Valkyrie fighter jet. This vehicle will go on to be '''less''' known in the West as the Transformer [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]].

===1983===
* January - The first three toys from Takara's ''New Microman: MicroChange'' line, MC-01 Micross (available as blue and red variations), MC-02 Jaguar (available as blue and black variations) and MC-03 Condor (available as blue and black variations), are released to stores. These would later make up the first wave of [[Mini-Cassette]]s.
