Talk:Pre-Transformers

I just removed a link from this page as it linked to some website about medieval weapons. That's cool, right? Thew 17:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

It turns out their old domain expired and went up for sale, which is why you saw the weird placeholder ads. A little Google searching (and experimenting with the old "index.html" standard front page suffix) quickly revealed the current URL, so I've re-established the link.--Apcog 17:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Who created it?

I'm pretty sure we are all wondering this. What inspired him? Who was he? How old was he? Was he Japanese (duh, probably)? Was he even a he? Yeah, that last one was probably stupid...Femtransfan 20:48, 17 August 2013 (EDT) femtransfan

Galactic Man

The reason the UK Tandy "Galactic Man" figure is "almost identical to Radio Shack's version" is pretty simple: Tandy was Radio Shack. Radio Shack/RadioShack was bought by Tandy in 1963 and in the end what was left of Tandy was quietly folded into RadioShack in 2000. So it's less "RadioShack's version" and more "the same company used different branding for the same product in different markets". - TBR (talk) 20:28, 11 August 2017 (EDT)

Move to "Pre-Transformers"

Since the article talks about the Micro Change, Diaclone and other toylines and their inclusion in Transformers (the brand/franchise) as a whole (even before my recent edit), I want to petition for a move back to the article's original name space from 2007. It's very rare that we reference the toys that came before their Transformers equivalents as a "pre-Transformer" or as the plural "pre-Transformers" on the wiki, so I think "pre-Transformers" is a better name space as it reflects the franchises that came before the Transformers franchise… if that makes sense? ("pre-Transformers" = before Transformers). Otherwise, if someone has a better idea for an article name without the "pre-" prefix, that also works too. -- Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 08:33, 11 August 2023 (EDT)

I'd agree with this. --Riptide (talk) 09:22, 16 August 2023 (EDT)

Seems logical to me. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 09:23, 16 August 2023 (EDT)

Yeah, I don't think anybody really uses "pre-Transformer", while "pre-Transformers" could work as a hub page. Saix (talk) 10:57, 16 August 2023 (EDT)

I'll give it a little bit longer to sit, but if there are no votes against the move by the end of the next week, would one of the admins like to do the honours of moving it? I believe the old namespace exists as a redirect currently, so it'll have to be a "delete the redirect, then move to that namespace" situation. -- Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 02:33, 17 August 2023 (EDT)
