Talk:Tomb of the Primes
AllSpark / All Spark=
[edit]I know we settled on "Sll Spark" for the movie back when there were 16 dferent spellings being ued, but the sequel's material seems to consistently use AllSpark. -Derik 10:36, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
- The adaptation comic uses All Spark and the novel uses Allspark. I think it must be a Cybertronian word that was never meant to be written in English. - Starfield 10:46, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
- Derik, did you even investigate where a link named AllSpark would send you to? The reason I enforce a rule of using All Spark exclusively for movie articles is All Spark links to the Movie All Spark cube. AllSpark (as linked earlier in this page) sends you to a disambiguation page. --FFN 11:26, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
- Right, and i think "All Spark" should be moved to "AllSpark (Movie)." -Derik 12:21, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
Spoiler treatment
[edit]Blacking out whole articles is... extremely dumb. Why aren't we using our existing spoiler template?--RosicrucianTalk 11:18, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
- Because the movie isn't out yet in the USA presumably. Someone couldn't wait 13 more hours. - Starfield 11:29, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
- Regardless it's the ugliest spoiler treatment we could have gone for, and I don't understand why our normal spoiler tag is somehow insufficient. I mean, this is ridiculous. The Tomb of the Primes is something that was in both the novelization and the comic adaptation. There's no reason to have the whole article be a block of blacked-out text.--RosicrucianTalk 11:32, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
- Sorry, my fault. I've seem to have gotten a wee bit paranoid lately... ¬_¬;;; --Lonegamer78 11:35, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
- Because for episodes, you can reasonably assume that most fans have seen it 24 hours after it premiered, no matter where they live.
- That doesn't apply for movies. Also, AFAIK, there are still a few major spoilers that haven't dropped yet. -Derik 11:38, 23 June 2009 (EDT)

Sorry, I didn't know that there was a blackout on RotF articles or information, I just assumed that a spoiler tag on the top would suffice. Will refrain from adding anymore until after its out in the US. Straxus 15:44, 23 June 2009 (EDT)
- So when should we remove the blackouts? Thursday? The weekend? Next Wednesday? -- SFH 15:51, 23 June 2009 (EDT)

19,000 years ago?
[edit]I thought 17,000. -Derik 01:15, 25 June 2009 (EDT)
- 17,000 B.C. --Lonegamer78 02:42, 25 June 2009 (EDT)

Some IDW notes
[edit]The IDW ROTF adaption calls it "The Tomb of the Twelve" (Despite the fact there are only 11 primes in it.) It's probably worth noting that the number of Primes wasn't mentioned in Defiance. (and if any part of the IDW comics is likely to 'not really count' it's the movie adaption. The 2007 dropped plots wholesale that still seem to have occurred.) -Derik 04:58, 25 June 2009 (EDT)
