Hail Skroob!

Why are we using thier Nicknames if we know thier proper names? X-BoB58 22:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I think because no one looking up 'Rad,' who is refered to exclusively as Rad int he cartoon, seeign an entry for 'Bradly White' would know to click on him.
Same reaosnw e have Sparkplug Witwicky, not Inving William Witwickey, or whatever.-Derik 22:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Thats what Rad and disambiguation pages are for X-BoB58 22:44, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

While this is true (and I think you need an "e" in that link that's supposed to go to "Bradley White". And possibly a "no-Wiki" tag...), I think that the "main" article should have some connection to the way a character is most commonly known, rather than being slavishly tied to "real" names.--G.B.

Hence The Mechanic as opposed to "Nestor Forbes". -hx 21:44, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Exactly! And we actually discussed that at the time. Thanks for reminding me.--G.B. Blackrock 22:21, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

that cameo thing

[edit]

See: [1] Now, we may decide that Cartoon Network just might never ever air those episodes on the teevee, and we'd have to update fully anyway, but... I want to talk about things first before we decide one way or the other. Should we decide the unaired-except-for-on-the-Internet episodes are fair game? Or should we wait for them to air still before untagging them as spoilers? --ItsWalky 16:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Wait for either them to air, or for the next line to officially start. (Airing or appearing in stores.) At which point you can officially say 'fuck it, Cybertron's over.'
Doesnt' mean you can't compose the entry, just hide it behind a comment tag.

==Cybertron==
Rad was revealed to be a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

You can uncomment it after it airs.-Derik 18:06, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

HURF DURF HUMANS

[edit]

Far be it from me to decry "comedy" on the wiki, but I think this one goes a smidge too far into the way-too predictable HURF HUMANS SUXXORS category, and doesn't even go about it in a creative fashion (like Tracks' entendre-riddled page). It just comes across as mean. Maybe some more actual CONTENT will help this, but I dunno. --M Sipher 05:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

You know, Armada is one of my guilty fanboy pleasures, but it takes even me awhile to regurgitate up necessary info on these characters. Particularly Carlos. I hate Matt Hill and his holy frijoles bad acting. But I'll see what I can do for Rad. Fred is AWESOME, though. --FFN 07:52, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I want to tell you about the Transformers

[edit]

Ok this may be weird, but I checked this page out after constantly seeing those stubs with his picture on it and the 'I want to tell you about the Transformers' thing in order to see what the origin of that is. Alas, unless I'm blind (I may be!) there's no explanation of it. Surely if the phrase is so heavily associated with him, it deserves one? -- Excise 16:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I added a note about this in the trivia. --FFN 02:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! -- Excise 06:19, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
