My current state of "black rage" has made me dementedly self-centered enough to write my own article. Step back, lest ye be crushed beneath the weighty cloud of my [[Nicholas Fury|fury]]. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 20:28, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
:What category would this go under? -- [[User:SFH|SFH]] 23:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

:"Things that do not exist". This no real Chris McFeely, he's actually an amalgamation of over a dozen Transformer fans. I form his shin while Nevermore forms appendix and Walky mans the right earlobe. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 23:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

== Allspark Addendum ==

Why have you stopped making the Annotated Allpark Addenddum? ([[Special:Contributions/184.56.31.203|184.56.31.203]] 21:24, 26 June 2012 (EDT))
:Oh, I haven't, I haven't, I'm just lagging behind! There wasn't a lot of annotation-worthy stuff in the second Fan Club mag one - just pointing out the opposite ''Animated'' episodes, really - but I just got the third one the other day and there's more stuff in it, so I'll get the pair done soon! - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 04:42, 27 June 2012 (EDT)

== Deletion Request ==

Would like to request that Gobot Vandals usernames, edits and pages be removed from TFWiki and from TfWiki representatives and moderators on social media.

This is due to that they are perceived to be mere kids and were only trying to defend their favourite character but ended up doing so in a harmful way. They too should not be targeted and publicised for their childish mistake or crime that they once did in the past during July 2019.

David M Willis has been reached out about this too.

They have learnt their lesson back then. Sorry for the inconvenience you have received over the years by other members of Transformers community.

== New insignia icon ==

Hey, I noticed the TF Prime toyline page is currently using a Decepticon insignia instead of the Star Seeker one for Thundertron's toy and I also discovered that we didn't have a Star Seeker bulletpoint either., so I decided to give it a go making the bulletpoint myself, but I think I may have missed something somewhere in the coding as the image won't display on the [[Template:Bp-a1/doc]] page.

Would you possibly be able to give me a hand?

To make it easier to find, here is the template I made and the file I uploaded:
*[[Template:Bp-ss]]
*[[:File:StarSeekerbp.png]]

==Prime writers==
I hope I'm not bothering but, who is going to write the new episodes in TFP? [[User:Joybells|Joybells]] 09:57, 15 October 2012 (EDT)Joybells
:In response to your question, we only find out the writers for specific epiodes of Transformers Prime once the episodes air, so there's no way of predicting upcoming writers. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 12:55, 15 October 2012 (EDT) Duplicated from [[User talk: Joybells]]

==Constructicon shovel==
Hi, welcome to TFWiki. Whilst your enthusiasm is appreciated, step by step transformation images isn't something we do, not least because it'd clutter up pages. Additonally, when uploading images, please use JPEGs instead of PNGs, as they take up less space.[[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 12:44, 8 December 2012 (EST) Duplicated from [[User talk: Constructifan]]

== Edit summaries ==

Just to point out... "Ditto" is fine if you're looking at Recentchanges on the day the edit's made (and you don't have the "Enhanced" RC turned on), but look at the history of the individual page: http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Darksteel_(Prime)&action=history - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 14:34, 19 July 2013 (EDT)
:Good point, thanks. I'll keep it in mind in the future. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 14:36, 19 July 2013 (EDT)

==Meansor in Shockpoint==
Right, I know the issue is set a couple AFTER Menasor's creation, however surely they still shouldn't have holograms of him because they left before he was made and so, assuming nobody contacted them, they should be oblivious to the happenings on earth. {{unsigned|Drift1998}}
:Well, there's no reason ''to'' assume that they weren't in contact with any of the Decepticons on Earth. And if making an assumption creates an error, then it probably isn't a correct assumption. Megatron's internal monologue in #7 even seems to indicate that he's aware of the Autobots allying themselves with humans, so there's that, too. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 04:45, 13 October 2013 (EDT)
::It's also a recent addition to continuity and possibly the product of an error, but things now suggest that Skywarp made it from Eath to the asteroid, so he could have brought that info with him too. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 06:25, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

== Tense ==

I noticed that while editing, and I did try to keep it in past tense. Apparently it wasn't quite enough.

==Understandable==
After editing the entire Beast Hunters and you editing it to chop a part of (the reception section), I read the file history and understand what you are going with, so thus perhaps one day when the figures are officially released then we'll talk about the reception proper (besides, I did it after analyzing the forms and other reviewers and thus coming to conclusion that it had to be done).

==Sorry==
My apologies for not being a very productive member of this community lately, I guess I got a little carried away. Just wanted you to know. Thank you, though, because I, myself was beggining to consider how much I could have been contributing rather than goofing off.

:If you have access to Microsoft PowerPoint, a quick method is to open a new presentation, paste the two photos in and arrange them next to each other, select both images at once by holding CTRL and clicking them both, and then finally right-clicking them and choosing 'Save as picture'. Otherwise, you can use a basic image editor like MS Paint - drag the corner handle to make the white image area really big, paste in the photos and arrange them, and then drag the image area smaller again to fit around them before saving. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 03:47, 13 August 2014 (EDT)

Thanks for clarifying the issue of camrips. However, when I checked up on the images guidelines it seems a bit unclear about cam rips. Should a statement about these cam rips be added? Thanks.

Comedy is my life, and delete my works. Whenever I try to add something factual, some other guy beats me to it. The only things I can do is edit captions. Plus the steeljaw joke I wrote is way better then the other stupid caption.
Warpath is the one who sent this message.
:This is the Transformers Wiki, first and foremost, not the Transformers Funny Image Captions Website. Being funny is a perk and side-effect of adding factual information, not something to do instead of adding factual information. And by changing existing captions, you're deleting something written by a user who actually put work into the article. If you genuinely think a caption isn't very good, you can bring it up on the article talk page and see if other people agree, but you can't justify overwriting stuff just because you personally don't like what's there.

== What to do? (Transformers Online 2016) ==

Hey, the reason why I didn't link the characters' name to their G1 pages is cuz I'm deliberating on whether or not they need a separate page as a TFO profile page, which includes their character stats and weapons' stats. What do you think? [[User:The Seeker|The Seeker]] ([[User talk:The Seeker|talk]]) 01:03, 7 September 2016 (EDT)
: Separate pages shouldn't be necessary. It would be entirely fine to include stats in a bullet-pointed list or simple table in the section for TFO on each character's main article. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 05:33, 7 September 2016 (EDT)

Ok. So I added roughly translated info to the section regarding Optimus's (movie version) appearance in TFO 2016 (on the games page of course). How can I cite this site?

:I tidied up and added the reference to what you wrote - check it out for an example of how to add reference. As a note for future, you should generally try to avoid writing just a direct translation, and instead summarise the information a bit. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 09:32, 7 September 2016 (EDT)

Hey, Jalaguy, remember when you told me not to do a direct translation of the Chinese information? I've done that for the story summaries of each character, and also for the weapons. However, my main concern is that Saix goes around correcting my roughly translated weapon page names to the direct Chinese translations, some of which are unappealing (such as a Cosmic "Shark" and "Fated Death") and would be better off with synonymous terms instead (to appeal to English speakers). What do you think? I just want to talk with you over about this b4 I address my concern to Saix. (Also, just so you know, I'm a bilingual Mandarin & English speaker behind the screen) [[User:The Seeker|The Seeker]] ([[User talk:The Seeker|talk]]) 16:08, 13 September 2016 (EDT)
:I don't usually work so much on foreign-language material, so I sought the opinion of some other editors, and the consensus seems to be it's better to keep to more literal translations for names of things (or even just transliterating it without doing ''any'' translation).

::I am not sure if we have a policy directly addressing this subject, but unappealing or not, it is not the role of the wiki to decide upon an arbitrary translation. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|talk]]) 20:09, 13 September 2016 (EDT)
:::Well, I mean, we do do it all the time for Japanese episode titles. We even use our own translations ''over'' official ones.

Hey, the National Toy Hall of Fame has an online poll for the next toy to be added, and Transformers are on the list. Is that something that we'd be linking to somewhere on the wiki? Here's the link: http://www.toyhalloffame.org/

=="In Immatura" being the key to Red Alert Dream.==

"In Immatura" was how it was written in the comic, not "on Immatura". And it is a reference to it being in Latin so the whole paranoid dream of Red Alert makes sense. Why did you cut the mention in the transformer references without transferring it elsewhere? It certainly has it's place on this wiki as much as the "head-on" reference! At least in one of the articles... either the planet or the comic itself. Since it was also cut in the article for the planet I'm beginning to wonder why do I even bother trying to be informative for the community.

== Reply ==

So you are totally fine with attacking random people in the name of a community circlejerk when citing zero (0) sources, yet cannot take a mild attack or criticism?

Bravo, you autists. You sure showed me.

Furthermore, I never implied any of you were "SJWs". Seems like the ol' Freudian slip did the job for me though.

Remind me what's wrong with changing captions again? Is this not a wiki? Am I not allowed to change something so minor for the sake of making the humor more tolerable and less cringeworthy?

Jesus, why does such a good resource have to be run by such unbearable people?

== westjames/notirishman-Transformers Tribute ==

Hey man! Sorry I didn't follow the rules. It won't happen again. The Transformers Tribute page was saved before I finished editing all of it, so that is why you saw only one sentence. I put up the page back, complete with more than one sentence, and the actual toys listed on it. Check it out.

== Admins, Bots, etc. ==

Hey Jalaguy!

Just wanted to ask a question. What does it mean to be an administrator, bot, bureaucrat, check user, and/or oversight in regards to this wiki?

Also how would one become one of those things?

I'm just kind of confused.

Thanks. -[[User:West james|west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:West james|talk]]) 10:53, 3 October 2017 (EDT)
:The only relevant ones are administrators, who have additional wiki management powers, such as deleting pages and blocking users, and bureaucrats, who have those same powers plus the ability to make other users into admins. There's no "way to become an admin", it's generally just a case of the site owner, Walky, promoting trusted, longtime editors, as and when the need arises. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 15:21, 3 October 2017 (EDT)
::Ahh I see. Thanks for the answer. -[[User:West james|west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:West james|talk]]) 16:01, 3 October 2017 (EDT)

== Source Material ==

I don't fully understand when we should add the "Source Material" template? I also understand why it says we shouldn't add to the page, even though pages like [[Prime Master/Combinations]] or [[Audio logs]] are missing information? [[User:West james|west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:West james|talk]]) 18:18, 13 November 2017 (EST)
:The source material template is generally for stuff that's a direct transcription of official material, as opposed to simply summarising it. We're writing down exactly what's the the collector cards, so that article is a collection of source material. Although the template was written with the assumption that it'd only go on completed articles, hence the "don't add to it" bit. You can safely ignore that for anything that's obviously a work in progress! [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 18:28, 13 November 2017 (EST)

== SG and G1 ==

[[User:ShootingStar7X]] and I aren't really sure whether [[Abominus (G1)]] and [[Hun-Gurrr (G1)]] if they should keep the disambiguation on Shattered Glass. I say yes, while ShootingStar says no. What is your opinion on this? [[User:West james|west james/notirishman]] ([[User talk:West james|talk]]) 12:07, 23 November 2017 (EST)
:[[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]] once had an unnecessary SG disambiguation on his page, but it has been removed as of 2015. I think Hun-Gurrr and Abominus should get the same treatment, for consistency.
:([[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]] also has an unnecessary SG disambiguation on his page, but in his case, it's pretty funny.) [[User:ShootingStar7X|ShootingStar7X]] ([[User talk:ShootingStar7X|talk]]) 12:35, 23 November 2017 (EST)
::There's nothing particularly significant about the SG versions of those characters - no reason a user would be more likely to be looking for them over any other alternate version of the character - so no, the links aren't really needed.

== Brainstorm main image ==

Hey - I kind of expected this to be reverted, but I'd like to explain my reasoning. Wiki policy states that "Characters often have multiple bodies, so the main image should generally be their original "real world" form, and as full-body as possible. '''(Exceptions may be made when a character is in a later form far longer and more prominently than their true "first".)'''" In this case, the original image is from Dreamwave's Generation 1 continuity; Brainstorm wasn't even ''mentioned'' in any of the Dreamwave comics, so I don't see why this would be the considered the original "real world" form. IDW Brainstorm is arguably the most prominent//influential incarnation of the character, so I think an exception can readily be made here. And if we're talking "original" form, then the ideal image would be his [http://botchthecrab.com/archive/autobot/1987/brainstorm.jpg G1 box art] or [https://tfarchive.com/comics/marvel/profiles/Autobot/brainstorm.jpg Marvel comics appearance], rather than some grainy, poorly-edited picture from a continuity he didn't even appear in. What do you think? [[User:Genitus|Genitus]] ([[User talk:Genitus|talk]]) 00:49, 30 September 2019 (EDT)
:Brainstorm appeared in the Marvel comic and in ''The Headmasters'' fairly prominently 30 years before he had any kind of regular showing in IDW's run. In any case, you're taking that rule far too literally. Brainstorm's Dreamwave art is an adequate representation of his original form (though personally I'd change it) and that's why it's used. Additionally, generally speaking, that bolded bit is generally untrue for ''Generation 1'' characters, and really only applies to the ''Prime'' characters who also showed up in ''War for Cybertron''. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 02:18, 30 September 2019 (EDT)
::That's a fair argument, and thanks for the clarification on the exception. So you do think we should change it? How does the G1 box art sound? I think it's visually accurate and high-quality enough to serve as the main image. [[User:Genitus|Genitus]] ([[User talk:Genitus|talk]]) 02:25, 30 September 2019 (EDT)

== Devastation weapons ==

Good catch on those two, and thanks for adding them. Funnily enough, I actually did a bunch of research on Hound and Jetfire's G1 ''toy'' weapons and dismissed them both... instead of just, y'know, looking at their animation models or main article images.

Anyhow, again, thanks. [[User:Crossfire|'''Cross''']][[User talk:Crossfire|'''fire''']] 18:49, 7 May 2020 (EDT)

== Deletion Request ==

Would like to request that Gobot Vandals usernames, edits and pages be removed from TFWiki and from TfWiki representatives and moderators on social media.

This is due to that they are perceived to be mere kids and were only trying to defend their favourite character but ended up doing so in a harmful way. They too should not be targeted and publicised for their childish mistake or crime that they once did in the past during July 2019.

David M Willis has been reached out about this too.

Til All are One! Freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Thank you for consideration.
