Talk:City of Steel (episode)

2020-09-02T21:54:03Z

Oshenwave:

== Title ==

Is "Steel City" really different enough from "City of Steel" to warrant listing? The two are entirely equivalent in English and the choice of which form to use would seem to be due to personal preference of the translator. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 01:14, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

:"スチールシティ" reads "su-chii-ru-shi-ti", or "Steel City". There is no room for preference or adjustment. Katakana doesn't work that way. It's rendering the English words "steel" and "city" into the Japanese sound structure. If it had used words like 鋼 ("hagane", Japanese for "steel") or 都会 ("tokai", Japanese for "city") there might be a case. But even then, we'd include the Japanese title even if it directly translated into "City of Steel" so as to make the Japanese spelling of the title and it's roomaji equivalent available. We're informative like that. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 01:22, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

== Leftover errors ==

I couldn't find these previously listed errors:

* At one point, Megatron's helmet appears in white rather than grey, giving the impression that he is wearing a white wig. Earlier in the episode, his face and helmet are both coloured in the same shade of dark grey.

* The Empire State Building is depicted as ''far'' too small in relation to the Transformers in several scenes.

If they're gonna go back in, the scenes need to be specified a lot more clearly. (that goes for a lot eps, actually. There's far too many "In one scene" errors in our G1 eps.) -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 20:23, 5 September 2009 (EDT)
:Megatron's hair being "white" is the same shot as Soundwave's red cannon, though it looks like they actually just coloured his face a dark gray. --[[User:Abates|abates]] 22:41, 5 September 2009 (EDT)

== Mixmaster ==

...oh, you're thinking of "Get it, get it, huh?", aren't you. That's not his speech quirk. That's just a cackling gleeful excited evil guy. His (annoying) quirk is repeating the first syllable or two of a word three times. "Auto auto autobots!" -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 22:21, 14 December 2009 (EST)

== error? ==

In this episode Ratchet says that the largest city in north America is New York City but the real largest city is Mexico City. Is this considered an error?--[[User:Wwelord|Wwelord]] 07:23, 10 December 2011 (EST)
:North America is often used in contrast to Latin America (or to Central/Middle and South America) in such a way as to only include the US and Canada. Whether this is a correct usage or not, it does exist. Even in Spanish, Americans and Canadians are often referred to as "Norteamericanos". --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:34, 10 December 2011 (EST)

== Megatron's Blue Communication Button ==

He ''does'' actually hit it, just not the big one. He has ''two'' buttons, as far as I can tell, a big one and a small one to the lower left. He pushes the small one when talking in this episode, not the big one. Now, this may just be on the Shout! Factory release, which is all I have, so I'm not changing the article yet. If someone could check the originals, if that's even possible, we can determine for sure.
I just realized I forgot my signature.--[[User:Oshenwave|Oshenwave]] ([[User talk:Oshenwave|talk]]) 17:54, 2 September 2020 (EDT)

:Word. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 23:29, 23 February 2010 (EST)
Our best bet to finding out about the hot rod go-kart is to send a letter to hasbro or get in touch with them. Chances are, the go-karts owner lost interest in transformers as they grew up, and either (a sold it to another unsuspecting child or (b has it in a storage shed, collecting dust. If we could get in touch with anyone at hasbro or even former employees, we might be able to find something out.[[User:YourBestPal|YourBestPal]] ([[User talk:YourBestPal|talk]]) 19:21, 13 May 2018 (EDT)

==Expo '86==
So in an interview I did with [[Paul Davids]], he says that he wrote the script for a Transformers presentation at a World's Fair. The closest World's Fair in proximity to Davids working on the series was Expo '86; my research has further turned up that Hasbro was the largest corporate sponsor of Expo '86, and that families touring the Expo Center at a media event were greeted by "their favorite costumed characters" who handed out various Hasbro toys, including Scrapper.

And that's all I know of it, so I thought I'd toss it up. --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 04:00, 24 February 2010 (EST)
:Dammit! I was AT Expo 86! Too bad it was before my first birthday... I'll ask my parents and see if they remember anything about that. -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 05:18, 24 February 2010 (EST)

::On a similar note, if we can get any more info about the Universal Studios Base Camp, that'd be nice. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 08:48, 24 February 2010 (EST)

:::Geez... I wish I could remember Expo '86 better. I do remember there being a big outdoor setup under a tent where they had a bunch of Transformers toys for sale. I was able to get some Aerialbots there back when they were the newest thing. I really doubt my parents would have taken a picture of it, but I can check. [[User:Evan1975|Evan1975]] ([[User talk:Evan1975|talk]]) 22:51, 22 March 2018 (EDT)

Ive been digging around online, and the only things I know are that there were mascot suits of Starscream, and presumably Jazz and Grimlock. I say that because the starscream costume looks identical to the one used at the universal studios transformers event in 1985, and they had grimlock and Jazz.[[User:YourBestPal|YourBestPal]] ([[User talk:YourBestPal|talk]]) 18:46, 13 May 2018 (EDT)

Talk:5 mm post

Oshenwave: /* LEGO Compatibility */ new section

==Fact checking -- US Gen1==
Welp, this is shaping up to be a pretty massive article. It may need to be divided later on down the track. Right now what it needs is a little bit of fact checking. Anyone with the following toys, can you please check that they do in fact have 5mm pegs/ports:
*<strike>Ramhorn</strike>
*<strike>Slugfest and Overkill</strike>
*<strike>Ratbat</strike>
*Beastbox and Squawktalk
*Pretender Beasts
*Pretender Vehicles
*The Mega Pretenders
*The Ultra Pretenders
*<strike>Punch/Counterpunch</strike>

Please use the original releases to check as reissues sometimes have distinctly different post sizes or tolerances which would make them invalid as tests -- we'll get to the reissues later as this article develops.
[[User:Jhiaxus|Jhiaxus]] 04:44, 11 February 2010 (EST)

:I can confirm that Punch/Counterpunch uses 5mm pegs. I don't have mine handy, but I know as a kid I used to give his guns to my Targetmasters, etc. [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 10:05, 12 February 2010 (EST)
::Just checked my original Ramhorn, and his post holes are slightly larger than 5mm. Specifically, Deluxe Classics Prime's rifle is loose in the hole, Deluxe Animated Battle Begins Prime's axe is tight. For comparison, my Voyager Classics Prime can hold that gun tightly, but must hold the axe by the posts near the head. Weren't all the holes on the cassettes slightly larger? [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 11:11, 12 February 2010 (EST)
::Found weapons (no figures) for Slugfest and Overkill, they fit loosely on Ramhorn. Their designs won't let them fit Voyager Classic Prime's fist, but they fit quite well in the hole that his wind vane/ion blaster attaches to on his back. Guess that makes them 5mm posts. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 11:23, 12 February 2010 (EST)
:::Yeah, not all 5mm posts are exactly equal.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 12:00, 12 February 2010 (EST)
::::My Ratbat is the same as my Ramhorn, holes are just slightly larger than most 5mm pegs. [[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 10:11, 20 February 2010 (EST)

Just to report Overlord does not have 5MM fists. His fist holes/gun-peg are *much* larger. However he does have a set of holes in his upper arms (not screw holes as far as I can tell) that are 5mm. Checked Slugfest and Overkill too, they can fit PM Primes gun but it's a tad tight. {{unsigned|76.28.76.206|13:54, 12 February 2010 (EST)}}
:I just checked, and [[Skyhammer]]'s shell's fists do indeed have 5mm peg holes. I couldn't find the inner robot or the vehicle to check them, though. -- [[User:Semysane|Semysane]] 15:53, 16 February 2010 (EST)
::I actually have his vehicle shell. (Such as it is, stupid GPS.) I'll check it. But thanks for confirmation. The robot's unlikely to have anything more than a post for a weapon in vehicle mode.[[User:Jhiaxus|Jhiaxus]] 21:27, 17 February 2010 (EST)

==Fact Checking Japanese Gen1==
The list up top still has toys that need checking. But there's a tonne in Japanese Gen1 I need proper confirmation on. When I wrote this stuff there was a lot of guessing involved and it needs checking on actual toys (Which I simply don't have access to.) Please reply under the appropriate heading, not under the Japanese fact checking heading as a whole.

*Graphy
*Noise
*Dial
*Saur
*Raiden

===Masterforce===
*Metalhawk
*Grand Maximus
*Overlord (thanks for the info above -- I based my entry on it, but it still needs checking)
*Browning

===Victory===
*Star Saber
*Victory Leo
*Galaxy Shuttle
*Liokaiser (I know some of it's right, since I have rescue force... but I'm not positive about Gaihawk, Hellbat or his fists.)
*Black Shadow + Blue Bacchus
*Deathsaurus (I didn't list him because I just had no clue... so if anyone could check him that'd be great.)

==Combining with Peg==
No. I don't think so. This article is enormous already -- and getting bigger all the time. It's dedicated to a specific KIND of peg, not to pegs in general. If we tried to integrate a general pegs article into this one it would bloat beyond all proportion.

What needs to be done is the peg article actually needs to be written properly, and made not a stub.[[User:Jhiaxus|Jhiaxus]] 00:43, 5 March 2010 (EST)
:I posted the notices in an attempt to draw attention to the articles. I could see it going either way but just wanted a more active dialogue.[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 12:24, 5 March 2010 (EST)

== Zoids Blox ==
ALSO use 5mm pegs.. Found that out the fun way when a gun from my parts bucket fit nicely on them, and it turned out to be Perceptor's gun (never owned Perceptor, no idea where it came from..). ROTF Bludgeon confirmed it in a delightful way.

== Other lines ==

hy does this page stop at Energon?-[[User:TOM|BladeRunner]]
**Good question. Several toys in the last five years (!) have them, not the least of which is the very next season. Then there's the Power Core Combiners, made specifically with mix=and-matching in mind and with possibilities that are not readily apparent until you've ''really'' done some playing around with them, and oddities you can't know about other figures until you've taken 'em out of the box (Such as the guns of War for Cybertron Soundwave being held by hollow 5 mm pegs, making it compatible with other lines and energon weapons.) {{unsigned|66.245.80.100}}

Added sections and overviews, at least, for every missing line I could remember offhand. Let's fill 'em in, people!

I'd be very grateful if someone could go give Cybertron a second pass. I basically ignored the Jungle Planet back then, so I have no idea whether those guys are in any way 5mm-compatible, and I also probably missed a few here and there and/or misremembered a toy. --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 13:06, 17 February 2011 (EST)

== Something to think about... ==

Leaving out the MSTF pages, this is currently the twelfth largest page on the wiki. And THREE of the pages larger than this are just about Optimus Prime (G1). Ponder this for a moment. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 14:02, 30 March 2011 (EDT)

::I'm not saying that this one is a problem, I'm just amazed that this page is that big. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] 15:11, 30 March 2011 (EDT)

== Formatting ==

Why do we utilize non-standard spacing (5mm) on this? All unit symbols (except the angular degree, minute, and second symbols) are properly placed with a space between them and the value. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 13:10, 23 January 2018 (EST)
:Right, it should be "5 mm". All scientific work I've dealt with has followed this standard. [[User:Saix|Saix]] ([[User talk:Saix|talk]]) 15:10, 23 January 2018 (EST)
::I've fixed the text on this page and moved the page. I'll start working on correcting all the incoming links later today. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 08:46, 14 June 2018 (EDT)

== LEGO Compatibility ==

I see that this is listed in notes and there is a "Needs Images" tag for it, but I'm not sure it should be mentioned. I've tried it, LEGO parts are usually far too loose or tight, And I actually broke one once trying to get it on a Powerlinx post. So, if we want to leave it on the page, we should at least add some form of disclaimer regarding the potential danger.--[[User:Oshenwave|Oshenwave]] ([[User talk:Oshenwave|talk]]) 22:19, 30 August 2020 (EDT)

Does anyone have any information about the first unreleased Astroscope? The description of Astroscope's changed colors actually talks about Sky Blast's color changes and the link to the "Gallery of unreleased Armada Space Team at TFkenkon" does not seem to be working.

:::Yeah, I noticed that after you reverted it and realized that AD would be the time era they would use in those times (it's been a couple years since I seen the episode).

Look, I love the "Ruined FOREVER" gag just as much as anyone else, and it definitely needs to stay on this article, but I think this article's taken it a ''little'' bit too far now. It's like every other sentence ends with "ruined FOREVER" now - it's threatening to become as tired as the things Bonecrusher hates. Incidentally, he hates how this article's overusing this gag.--[[User:Spin-Out|Spin-Out]] ([[User talk:Spin-Out|talk]]) 13:20, 7 March 2016 (EST) (edited to elaborate more)
:I really think it should only apply to things that they really said ruined it, too. It's funny to use it sarcastically a few times, but to apply it to Transformers Prime kills the joke, in my opinion. That's what I call the low hanging fruit of jokes. When you use it so obviously and predictably. In addition to TF: Prime being a smash hit with most fans, although that doesn't mean you can't make jokes about the show. --[[User:Luka1184|Luka1184]] ([[User talk:Luka1184|talk]]) 05:31, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

==Help Pages Lost in the Wilderness==
This help page, like so many others, would be much more useful if something -- ''anything'' -- actually linked to it.

Seriously. This is a big, big problem on this wiki: help pages are nigh impossible to find. Whoever's set these things up needs to chain the damn things together. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 15:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

:I set this page up to meet a specific need. I'd be happy to link it into an exiwting structure... if there was an existing structure. We have 3 separate fairly-stubby Help/intro pages. Merging them has been on the collective to-do list for more than a year. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 15:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

::Yeah, I keep meaning to get around to that and not quite doing it. The original help structure was written almost entirely by me and is contained in just a handful of pages in the "Help" namespace, linked together by [[Help:Contents]] which is linked to in the sidebar of every page on the wiki. Since then some older "Transformers Wiki" namespace pages were rediscovered and worked on, and others have been built. But there is no unifying structure for the new stuff, and a lot of it is redundant with the Help pages. I will try to recommit myself to sorting it out. Does anybody have an opinion on which namespace we should use? I think all the policy/help stuff should be in the same namespace. I personally prefer "Help" because it's short, but I'm not deeply attached to it. Considering the [[Transformers Wiki:Community Portal|Community portal]] is stuck in "Transformers Wiki" namespace, perhaps that would be better. Unless we can move it.

::::We cant' do that, you have to put in a request for a wikia tech to do that.
::::I think we're planning to put in such a request in order to change our local timezone (Rhode Island instead of Switzerland or whatever,) figure out which spelling we prefer, make a note on my User-talk page and I'll add that to the request when it goes thru.

:If you move your user page to a different name, it's no longer your user page because it's not linked to your name. So I guess you'd lose ownership over it and it would be deleted or someone would move it back. I should point out Wikipedia does not have a policy on user page moves because they would not make sense to do. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 17:24, 15 April 2015 (EDT)

== Use of images on user pages (aside from or instead of the single user uploaded one) ==

Is there a guideline about the usage of other images from the wiki on user pages? If it is allowed are there limits? This seems to be an obvious omission from this policy. --[[User:Khajidha|Khajidha]] ([[User talk:Khajidha|talk]]) 15:27, 2 September 2019 (EDT)
:I have the same question. Also, should the user page be written from a RL perspective, or is fanfiction allowed for describing yourself? For example, could I say I am a Transformer in some way?

MediaWiki talk:A GoBox of your own!

Oshenwave: /* Static Go-Boxes */ new section

Okay, some thoughts here. This is a ''really'' good promotional tool, but the average visitor to the wiki can't get to it very easily. It's linked to from our community portal, which we don't really use, and which isn't what "Community portal" links to in the sidebar. That's the talkpage, not the portal itself. It's also linked to by one of the GoBoxes themselves, but we've got so many of them now that it's a real crapshoot for that one to come up. So to get more users aware of this promotional tool on a wider variety of forums, I think it ought to be a bit more prominently linked, possibly on the main page.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|Talk]] 03:15, 10 June 2009 (EDT)

I'd been thinking I'd also like to see a version of this that would allow it to be linked in places that don't allow embedding/HTML. One user put up some code that used to work great, but it seems to have gotten broken in the server move (and now the URL is down to boot). --[[User:Jeysie|Jeysie]] 12:59, 22 June 2009 (EDT)

Wingus from the Allspark suggests the GO! on the GoBox for Transformers Reproduction should be changed to GAH!. I'll let you guy with good image editing skills discuss and decide on that. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 23:38, 30 November 2009 (EST)

``Before they leave for the Nemesis, the Autobots all grab the weapons they obtained from Ultra Magnus' ship in "Rebellion", while Wheeljack and Smokescreen get new weapons.``

Only smokescreen gets a new weapon.....wheeljack already has the gun seen this episode which he received in the episode rebellion
some body edit this mistake

Just wanted to give my compliments on the infobox caption, it was apparently so good that my sister exploded the soda she was drinking. Kudos![[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 02:14, 22 July 2013 (EDT)

== I'm new, but... ==

Is the first listed "Error" wrong? I think it is, because in [[Deadlock|the next episode,]] Ratchet says "I was never able to learn Shockwave's side of the Cybermatter equation", which I believe implies he was trying to discover the CNA formulation, ''not'' the Synth-en, which therefore means there is no error. After all, the tube Ratchet gets is from the same cupboard as the CNA sample Knock-Out gets, and that was what Shockwave's side would be, as he discovered that part. Am I wrong?

Also, I'm not sure what I'm doing, the help pages were a bit lackluster. I feel some step-by-step tutorials would help.[[User:Oshenwave|Oshenwave]] ([[User talk:Oshenwave|talk]]) 14:04, 28 June 2020 (EDT)
:The Decepticons already had the CNA formulation; Ratchet was working on a stabilized formula for Synth-En, which was the specific reason the Decepticons captured him. He never learned Shockwave's side of the equation because he wasn't working on it. However, you are right that I goofed in writing the note; the canister Ratchet tries to hide is indeed a CNA sample (presumably he was trying to escape with it so that the Autobots could use it in conjunction with the perfected formula to rebuild Cybetron on their own?). It's the canister Shockwave removes from the centrifuge, which he and Megatron brandish about as if it is the perfected formula, I was thinking of. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 14:25, 28 June 2020 (EDT)
