Talk:Automorph Technology

Am I doing it wrong? My Optimus Protoform doesn't seem to have automorphing as claimed in this article. --Crockalley 16:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

• I don't think so. Mine doesn't either. --Nemesis Primal 18:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

i strongly disagree that this article should be merged with autotransformation, they are two different things, as autotransformation is the whole transformation and automorph is part of it—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deceptibot593 (talk • contribs){{#if:15:48, 23 November 2007| 15:48, 23 November 2007|}}.

They're both toy-based gimmicks where the toy has a mechanism that allows for easier transformation. I'd say it's a natural merge.--Rosicrucian^Talk 15:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Deceptibot's reasons. They're similar gimmicks, but automorphing was never meant to fully transform the robot, as autotransforming was. I also the articles should be separate because they were chronologically distinct in the toylines. Automorphing was a highly-publicized part of the movie toyline in particular, so that makes it distinct. Mongoosehuman^Talk 04:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Autotransformation transforms the whole toy, Automorph only transforms part of the toy. In fact, many toys with Automorph gimmicks have several. An Autotransforming toy transforms entirely in one motion, usually spring-loaded, while the Automorphing features use geared action so that when one part is moved, others move with it. The two are vaguely similar, but not similar enough to endorse a merge. --King Starscream 16:36, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I also agree with Deceptibot! Automorphing is just minor gear mechanism, autotransforming, is the WHOLE thing! they are extremely different! and Mongoose is right about it being highly publicized so it distinct from autotransforming. --Skyglide 03:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Automorph and autotransformation are clearly two different and distinct gimmicks. Additionally, one's a fan term, the other's an official one. They should be kept separate. -- Repowers 03:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

They should be kept separate, and further I think this page should probably be moved to Automorph Technology. --KilMichaelMcC 03:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Him. Mr. Q 20:39, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
