Requiem Astra:

Man, I miss this template so much. I know there are more important things to reinstate, but... --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 18:30, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

== Star Wars icons ==

Can't get them working and editing the wiki's been (figuratively speaking) like walking through cold molasses for the past two/three hours. Someone else fix them, I'm going to bed... - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 00:54, 27 March 2009 (EDT)

== Unicron's Symbol ==
So, why are we using the crummy Dreamwave Unicron symbol as our default? The Blendtron / Herald symbol is not only much cooler, but it's actually been used in both toys (Overcharge) and fiction (Kiss Players). That's gotta trump one guidebook. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 17:38, 9 August 2009 (EDT)
:Have to agree. It's ridiculously clunky and hard to recognize at smaller sizes. The Blendtron/Herald symbol however is very easy to discern.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 18:34, 9 August 2009 (EDT)
::So ... any other viewpoints? Was there any discussion about using the Armada symbol that I should be aware of? Anyone vehemently disagree with us on this? --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 09:36, 10 August 2009 (EDT)
:::All right, I'm changing it then. --[[User:Jimsorenson|Jimsorenson]] 11:17, 11 August 2009 (EDT)
::::OK, so..we have Unicron's own faction and Unicron (faction), which really should be linking to Heralds of Unicron, but Overcharge is the only Unicron-allied guy with the Unicron faction link. Are the other ones linking to Unicron on purpose or should they be linking to Heralds of Unicron too? -[[User:Mazenoise|Mazenoise]] 16:14, 11 August 2009 (EDT)

== Live-action ==

I think we should use movie-style symbols for movie characters. Unfortunately the [[insignia#Live-action movie franchise|symbols we have]] aren't well suited for that purpose. Are there any pictures of the symbols as they appear on the toys? Maybe in dark gray or black? I don't think I've ever seen any live-action red and purple insignias anywhere but on the wiki. - [[User:Starfield|Starfield]] 17:11, 6 February 2010 (EST)

== How to make a new one? ==

Based on a short discussion at [[Talk:Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)]], I want to make a template using Earth's [[Cyber Planet Key]] symbol, which would like to [[Earth]]. How do I do that?

(Said template is intended exclusively for ''Cybertron'' characters descended from those who arrived on Earth on the ''Atlantis'', not everyone with an Earth Key.) --[[User:Fortress Minimus|Fortress Minimus]] 16:00, 19 August 2010 (EDT)
:You'll want to edit [[Template:Factions/icons]]. Copy an entry, say Speed Planet, and then make the appropriate changes for the faction name, icon image, and page to link to. Of course, you'll need to upload an image of the Earth Cyber Planet Key symbol if we don't already have one. And add it to the list on this template's main page too. --[[User:Tigerpaw28|Tigerpaw28]] 16:14, 19 August 2010 (EDT)
::Cool, thanks! :) --[[User:Fortress Minimus|Fortress Minimus]] 13:10, 20 August 2010 (EDT)

== Prime Predacon icons ==

I've uploaded a selection of icons: cropped and original size, white and transparent background. These have a flat color compared to the existing jpg, which has pretty bad artifacts to it. Choose whichever one you like best, or I can work them some more if they need improvement.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 04:02, 15 February 2013 (EST)
:Good work. I went with the cropped one with the transparent background, and it's in the template now.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 17:47, 15 February 2013 (EST)

== Skywatch logo doesn't work ==

The Skywatch logo on pages like [[Skywatch]] gives a "Template loop detected: Template:Factions/icons" error. Can somebody more knowledgeable fix this? [[User:Mimi|Mimi]] 20:11, 16 February 2013 (EST)
:Fixed (forgot _recurs) - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 20:14, 16 February 2013 (EST)

== ''ROTF'' Constructicons ==

Has anyone thought about making a faction symbol for the ''ROTF'' Constructicons (or the "Devastator logo" as some call it) based off of the ''Studio Series'' packaging? I would do it myself if I knew how to, but I'm not familiar enough with the programs used to make the logos. I guess in a way, this is me requesting someone to please possibly make one lol.

In another way it's also me asking if it would be worthwhile for the wiki or whether it's considered irrelevant? [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 02:11, 5 November 2020 (EST)
:They're not a faction and that logo is toy packaging branding for their combining gimmick, not anything in-universe, so it would not be added. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] ([[User talk:M Sipher|talk]]) 16:52, 5 November 2020 (EST)

==Can we use insignias on our user page?==
Just thought it would be cool if we could do that, kinda like (correct me if im wrong) a few reddit servers! [[User:Requiem Astra|Requiem Astra]] ([[User talk:Requiem Astra|talk]]) 23:06, 12 April 2026 (EDT)

:It's meant to describe the in-fiction news program that Around Cybertron is named after, I believe most articles nowadays just link to the strips themselves. [[User:Escargon|Escargon]] ([[User talk:Escargon|talk]]) 08:01, 29 March 2026 (EDT)
:...then shouldn't it be moved to or redirected to the comic strips, or-? [[User:Requiem Astra|Requiem Astra]] ([[User talk:Requiem Astra|talk]]) 22:35, 11 April 2026 (EDT)

Requiem Astra:

==Found the PSA in some archives and would like to ask==

Should we make some pages for the PSA's themselves? Cause they're kinda like official media, and would probably have Animation errors, and people may also want more information on em! ...I know i did when i was first on this wiki and heard of these PSA's-

[[User:Requiem Astra|Requiem Astra]] ([[User talk:Requiem Astra|talk]]) 05:58, 19 March 2026 (EDT)

Is Seasrpay actually voiced by his normal VA in his PSA? Maybe I'm misremembering, but he sounds... off. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 01:11, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm 100% positive that he's got Hound's VA in that PSA (they're on you tube for a quick reference
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zss5lSV-bis ). That would mean he's voiced by Ken Sansom instead of Allen Oppenheimer. I have no proof to go by other than my ears, but they aren't bad. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 01:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Stealing cars? Was there some kind of rash of car-theft amongst 6-to-10-year-olds in the mid-1980s that led them to put this on ''Transformers''? --[[User:Ratbat|Ratbat]] 00:19, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

:Minors being taken along for Joyrides when their older brothers stole cars in poor urban centers where the kids (for lack of post-school daycare) tagged along with their older siblings, yeah.
:But I suspect it's a 'get 'em while they're young' tactic- instill the value early so they don't steal cars after they graduate out of TF's target demographic. (This is how most arson prevention programs work now.) -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 00:44, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
::Now I know!
:::And knowing is half the battle.--[[User:Dynamus Prime|Dynamus Prime]] 11:44, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

==First sighting?==
Before Kid Rhino released them, these were first revealed at a Botcon panel--I think it was Paul Cannon's--sometime around '99 or '00. Can anyone confirm that? --[[User:Thylacine 2000|Thylacine 2000]] 14:43, 10 June 2010 (EDT)

Requiem Astra:

{{welcome}}
Ok, so, question for the admins, or anyone-

How do i add an insignia and image to my user page and/or a disambiguation page? Gonna put a joke about the "Requiem Blaster" here-

"This page is about the user with a blaster who calls himself 'Requiem'. For the big honking world-ending blaster, see "Requiem Blaster"

Thanks, and let me know! I'll also try to enlarge stubs from existing pages in due time.

Also, yes, i am the same requiem astra on discord who initially messaged on the server... got blocked outta my account because of unexpected MFA things- working on it, though!

Also, also, suggestion: Should we put a "Secret files of teletran one" sub-page for the season 3 episodes? Because some of them give extra information about the character, so...
