How about this image from an internet search? The 'Bee :) 19:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

We prefer that toy images have all the modes in a single file. Also, where is the pic from? --FortMax 20:27, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Eh. I own the toy. I'll go digging when I get home, if I don't collapse. (I'm sick.) -Derik 20:48, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, since we tend to use Hasbro stock photos, there's always the pics from his Amazon page, if anyone wants to put both modes into one pic: [1] --74.57.3.251 22:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC) (Detour at work)

Amazon doesn't use Hasbro's stock photos. They also rarely show the toys transformed correctly. --FortMax 23:40, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Damn, I just finished rifiling throuhg my bucket-o-toys and I can't find mine. He must be tucked away elsewhere. (I did grab a half-dozen other TF's to photograph though...) -Derik 00:46, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Exuse me while I cower in shame at the lameness of my image and the awesomeness of the current one.....The 'Bee <:( 23:36, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, done cowering. The 'Bee :) 23:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Reptilion is a G1 character

If all this time we've had the Universe CD-ROM portraying a Reptilion native a universe also containing Optimus Primal and other BW-debuted Universe characters, and his bio from 2003 mentions a smart Perceptor, then shouldn't Reptilion be classified as G1 continuity family (Primax) character?

I think you're missing a lot of talk page discussions from other articles from... probably a decade ago. Universe stuff was argued to death. I think the best way to sum things up is that the Universe CD-Rom story has very little to nothing to do with the other Universe material. We know how the "real" Reptilion got abducted, and so he and the CD-ROM Reptilion can't be the same guy. Keeping the CD-ROM version on this regular Reptilion's page while maintaining that the "real" one is from an unspecified universe was the compromise, as I recall. It's not a perfect solution, but I think we liked it better than splitting him and the other guys who showed up in that comic into separate articles. --ItsWalky (talk) 01:17, 29 April 2015 (EDT)

Is it some kind of tfwiki policy to treat each universe's version of a character as separate from all the others? That certainly isn't the case for G1 Optimus Prime. Nor the 3 Primax Swindles from "Withered Hope" and "I, Lowtech". And in the example you pose, wouldn't Minions of Unicron Obsidian, Tankor, etc. hypothetically be classified as Primax characters on individual pages nonetheless? S.H.I.E.L.D.
