Talk:Seymour Simmons

I figure the full name will probably be int he novelization somewhere- but Agent Simmons first initial R comes from the ARG-- it's part of his e-mail address. -Derik 19:06, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I hope it's Richard. --ItsWalky 04:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

First name

Simmon's first name is given as "Seymour" in The Veiled Threat. ...annoying. Was his first name used anywhere but the ARG? -Derik 20:43, 28 April 2009 (EDT)

Move

RotF stuff is starting to come out, and this character is called "Seymour Simmons" in all of them.

The name Reggie came from the ARG. We never saw his face in the ARG, he didn't have any of movie-Simmons trademark verbal tics in his e-mails, etc... it looks like ARG-Simmons is a separate character, on which the "movie Simmons" was based (internal to the ARG-continuity.) This actually makes a fair amount of sense, internal to the way the ARG worked.

I've take the preparatory step of of queuing up all the "Reggie Simmons" links to be redirected to "Seymore Simmons" (and then excluding a few links I knew to be ARG-specific) but actually moving the article is a fairly major change, and I'd like to see a few other editors opinions before doing so.

Move to "Seymour Simmons": yea or nay? -Derik 17:48, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

Considering the evident prominence of "Seymour" over "Reggie", yes. —Interrobang 18:07, 16 May 2009 (EDT)

Darn, I LIKE "Reggie" over "Seymour"... --Lonegamer78 16:23, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

You and me both, Lonegamer. "Reggie" fits as being as quirky as Simmons is, but "Seymour"? Blech. Too dorky even for Simmons.

I could have sworn that "Reggie" showed up somewhere else, though. Not even in the '07 Prequel comics or anything? --Jeysie 16:49, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

Not named in the 2007 novel, I checked. And I checked the prequel too, unless I missed it, it's not there.

I also hate Seymore. It make him pathetic, like Skinner. :p -Derik 16:56, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

Well, there's always fanon... "I reject your reality and substitute my own!" :3 Too bad "Reggie" wasn't confirmed in the first film's credits, or there wouldn't be this issue. --Lonegamer78 20:49, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

Have we changed all the post-move Reggie Simmons links to Seymour Simmons? --FFN 08:47, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

They are all fixed - Starfield 21:29, 20 May 2009 (EDT)

I have a theory!

Don't FBI agents have a fake name they go by or something? So Reggie might actual be an alias?Godziboy1993 01:29, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

In-continuity I think it makes more sense that, since Sector 7 was producing the movie to serve their own purposes, they made a guy named Simmons head of S7 so that if they ever had to go public the public would be primed to accept the idea.

In ARG continuity, I don't think Sam witwicky even exists, except as a fictional character in the movie. Archibald did-- so when S7 produced the cartoon in the 1980's, they made the main protagonist a Witwicky as a sorta in-joke. When the 2007 movie came around, S7 created Sam as a tool to tell his ancestor's backstory with-- again filling in the public with less to explain.

(I might be filtering this through Quozl, but it does make sense.) -Derik 03:00, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

New main pic?

We kinda need a new main pic for him (current one is very old). If anybody here has a proper HD version of the movie (Blu-ray, HD-DVD) and the capability to play the disc on a PC using some sort of DVD playback software with screen capture capabilities, I would propose taking a screen capture during the scene just as he throws his pants away. DVD is just too blurry. --FFN 11:36, 20 May 2009 (EDT)

Relationship with Walter Simmons

With the mention that his father was named Felix, is it possible that Simmons is the grandson of Walter Simmons, instead of his son? That sort of gels with the timeline better. -- SFH 21:57, 7 June 2009 (EDT)

Yes, as far as I can determine. Ghosts of Yesterday mentions Walter's son as his likely successor in passing without giving his name. - Starfield 22:14, 7 June 2009 (EDT)

Website

There is currently an ARG based on the website that it is mentioned he runs. However, this ties in with the collectible cards distributed with the Ramjet and Skywarp Wal-mart exclusives, so I think there should be at least some information on the site here.KrytenKoro 03:45, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

Is it in conjunction with GiantEffingRobots.com? If so, it's best to detail it over there.--Rosicrucian^Talk 03:53, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

2007 Movie franchise?

Shouldn't it just say "from the live action movie continuity", since Simmons also appears in the Revenge of the Fallen franchise?--Nevermore 08:19, 15 August 2009 (EDT)

I fixed this, as it is more in line with characters from the Unicron Trilogy (see Optimus Prime (Armada)).Khajidha 11:50, 23 October 2009 (EDT)

Ethnicity

I was looking at the notes section and theres that whole jew/arab/christian thing down there. But when he helps get over the Jordanian border doesn't he mention being part Lebanese?--BlackStarscream 02:06, 13 August 2011 (EDT)

Random Thought

Would it be too stupid to change every instance of the name "Witwicky" to "Witwickity"? He still can't get it right, so... Yeah. All that.--Carrion 02:16, 17 October 2011 (EDT)

Photo Size

I uploaded a photo under the Dark of the Moon section. I had no idea how big it would be. Is there a way to shrink it? Or if not, find the same photo but smaller? What are the appropriate dimensions?—Hydroburst 04:57, 23 July, 2018 (EDT)

I've gone in and fixed it. You can manually set the maximum width of the image when adding it to a page, and the height will scale accordingly; see the fix I performed for an example, where I set the image to be 250px wide. It might be good to use that as a template next time you want to add another image to a page. Also, when uploading new images, make sure they have a descriptive filename and are properly tagged with the necessary copyrights. Give the Images help page a look for more information on that, along with our other guidelines on images. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 17:45, 23 July 2018 (EDT)

Thanks —Hydroburst 12:49, 24 July 2018 (EDT)

Page lock

So now that the movie's out, is this page gonna get unlocked, or...? -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 21:43, 27 December 2018 (EST)
