Malkova mainpic caption
[edit]You're the weird one. Anna Malkova DOES resemble Britt in her pic. But I don't have the time to fight you on it, you'll probably cry to the mods and try to get me cancelled. --MistaTee (talk) 16:57, 2 October 2022 (EDT)
- Knock it the hell off, you know damn well what the Britt comparison was referring to, and you should be aware by now that making pervy comments about actual people on the wiki is fully out of line. McBaggins (talk) 17:36, 2 October 2022 (EDT)
- ...I'm not really seeing an opening for a productive line of discussion here. Take it to Malkova's talk page if you're this attached to the caption I guess? -AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 17:47, 2 October 2022 (EDT)
Misunderstanding
[edit]Sorry about size class unknown mishap you had to correct. I didn't see anyone on tfw2005 and seibertron say anything about it, so I assumed they didn't say. I should have checked more sources.Poliwag06 (talk) 23:54, 30 March 2024 (EDT)
- No worries! I've just added a citation to that effect so hopefully that clears that up. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 00:12, 31 March 2024 (EDT)
Our coverage of TFEW event gameplay
[edit]Should we include tables of all the prizes in those sections, or just mention the top prize? (I'm going directly to you bc we seem to be the only ones keeping these pages up to date lol) - IGEBM13 (talk) 13:04, 17 May 2025 (EDT)
- No problem lol. I honestly defer to you when it comes to how much detail to include on the gameplay side of things for the most part? That information is included in all of the newsletters/discord announcements/etc though and such a table would give us something standardized to put in the gameplay sections of the individual event articles, so perhaps worth adding there. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 14:40, 17 May 2025 (EDT)
- Oh, and don’t worry about the non-character event prizes, that’s normal, especially for individual totalisers that happen in the weeks between new character or weapon introductions. - IGEBM13 (talk) 22:59, 20 May 2025 (EDT)
- Oh good, thank you. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 15:52, 21 May 2025 (EDT)
- About Cyber Passes, should we also add the images of the skins to their respective categories? - IGEBM13 (talk) 22:20, 29 May 2025 (EDT)
- Hmmm I think the renders in the respective Earth Wars sections of their character articles is fine probably. As you may have noticed Saix already queued up a template for it and everything. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 01:05, 30 May 2025 (EDT)
- Then again, upon further inspection the skin renders generally seem to be quite buried, at least for the moment, so you may be on to something. I've made example formatting HERE and will see about adding them as I find them. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 18:38, 30 May 2025 (EDT)
- Might I suggest page 3 of Category:Earth Wars images (there may be some others buried in the other pages too, obvs)? - IGEBM13 (talk) 21:03, 30 May 2025 (EDT)
- That was indeed quite helpful thank you! As you've seen I proceeded to go ham organizing the category so it should be much easier to tell what character renders we're missing. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 15:38, 5 June 2025 (EDT)

- Alright, so per this TFW user/TFEW player, the names of sagas 83 and 84 are "New Armada" and "Second Armada" (respectively). They can be found in the game's LangConfig file, along with various C.O.M.B.A.T. and regular bots' introductory dialogues that aren't actually able to be viewed in-game (I imagine that's where the dialogues for bots like Armada Scavenger and Wheeljack are, since I didn't see any pop up when I unlocked Wheeljack). I'm letting you know about the saga stuff instead of doing the moves myself because I don't have time to make them right now, or do the associated corrections. - 17:53, 9 June 2025 (EDT)
- AWESOME tysm!! Yeah suffice to say the articles at "Earth Wars Saga #" are ideally temporary titles until we can source the relevant files, which is why I haven't made event categories under those names. I'll move those two over now. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 17:58, 9 June 2025 (EDT)
- Had another talk with them today (some of it is on the following page of the thread), looks like we might have to move "Gone but Not Forgotten" over to saga 85's page and rename that "Third Armada." Thoughts? - IGEBM13 (talk) 21:31, 7 September 2025 (EDT)
- Fantastic! The game files are the overriding primary source so that merits shuffling to match yeah. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 09:40, 9 September 2025 (EDT)
- In hindsight, it does make sense, since the stretched-out dialogues were probably meant to be released normally before the team realized Megatronus wouldn't be ready in time for saga 86 to start. - IGEBM13 (talk) 17:59, 9 September 2025 (EDT)
- The week 7 dialogues stretching into the next Cyber Pass should probably have tipped us off yeah. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 18:13, 9 September 2025 (EDT)

- We got a problem here, the event this weekend is also called High Stakes, that makes two events named High Stakes in the span of 2025 (and that's not counting the 2023 one), do we split those 2 by month as well? -- PBChew18 (talk) 19:50, September 18 2025 (EDT)
- Yeah, I would just do "High Stakes ([month] 2025)" for each event. - IGEBM13 (talk) 20:53, 18 September 2025 (EDT)
- What IG said pretty much, that's how I handled Power of the Spark (April 2020) and Power of the Spark (July 2020), for example. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 14:23, 19 September 2025 (EDT)
- Yeah, I would just do "High Stakes ([month] 2025)" for each event. - IGEBM13 (talk) 20:53, 18 September 2025 (EDT)
- In regards to appearance numbering for campaigns, should we go with “everyone in the Autobot half appears first” or “Autobot half of part 1, Decepticon half of part 1, Autobot half of part 2, Decepticon half of part, etc?” (Hopefully I worded that in a way that makes sense lol) - IGEBM13 (talk) 20:43, 1 October 2025 (EDT)
- I think the former is both easier on us as editors and more consistent with the way events are already formatted by necessity. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 17:49, 2 October 2025 (EDT)
- See, I was writing the article up and I think the latter might make more sense given how the story flows (Part 1/Autobot to Part 1/Decepticon to Part 2/Autobot and so on)… - IGEBM13 (talk) 22:00, 2 October 2025 (EDT)
- Well suffice to say I ultimately defer to you as the one actually doing the write-ups. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 12:01, 3 October 2025 (EDT)

- For all the dead air of story content between Gone but Not Forgotten (Earth Wars) and Age of the Primes (Earth Wars), should we just remove the external links section of the event pages in between? While I'm here should we add a disambig for Alignment (Earth Wars) since it shares a name with that one apocryphal novella and vice versa. -- PBChew18 (talk) 09:45, October 12 2025 (EDT)
- Yes to the disambig2 for "Alignment," and for the "dead air," I’m thinking we either do that or add a second track for people to skip from GbTF to AoP (label it, "full event order" or something). - IGEBM13 (talk) 13:34, 12 October 2025 (EDT)
- - Yes to pulling the "External links" section when there's nothing to film.
- - Yes to a disambig on Alignment.
- - I would say the saga pages already provide the functionality of "skipping dead air."

- Gonna need to discuss this because even I myself am losing track of sagas on my end, according to this newsletter's saga schedule, we're supposedly halfway through the saga and it book ends with another new Prime. That said, does that mean saga we've been editing on was meant to close out during Megatronus' addition and we over-extended due to Cyber Pass season 46 spanning him and his artifact's introduction to the game. Grant it this does hinge on if this weekend's event gets story content which then I suppose we keep going with Third Armada until our new Prime is added. I could be overthinking all this for all I know because the saga schedule has gone all haywire after Gone but Not Forgotten (Earth Wars). -- PBChew18 (talk) 22:00, October 23 2025 (EDT)
- The newsletters have a history of playing a bit fast and loose with the definition of "saga" versus "season" versus "a Cyber Pass just started" so I would say we stick to our guns and continue to use the game's filenames as the final word on when story arcs start and end. As for this weekend's event, I would vote we tentatively treat it as the beginning of a new saga for the second Prime/Artifact pair for the time being (presuming it even has story content of course). --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 23:09, 23 October 2025 (EDT)
- Courtesy of our usual TFW2005 source, we're still in "Third Armada," and we have some lore information from the game files! Solus Prime is alive, her and Megatronus aren't on friendly terms, and the Trion currently in the game is just named after the one in the Thirteen (which should make organizing the TFEW section of his page very fun). Shall I move "Dark Descent" and "Lines of Communication?" - IGEBM13 (talk) 07:05, 8 November 2025 (EST)
- Well......that both makes our lives easier and it'll drive me mad ever so slightly, honestly I'm also not against writing off Saga 86 as a 2026 saga then judging by the saga schedule attached to the newsletters for those two events. Also:
- - No objections against the move.
- - They have confirmed Solus' next in line with Lines of Communication's story content.
- - We cross that bridge with Trion when we get to it I suppose, given that's info way ahead of when it should be known.
- -- PBChew18 (talk) 7:54, November 8 2025 (EST)
- Well, I have previously attempted to point out how Alpha Trion the playable Autobot is not related to the ignored Prime Cores, plus Nova Prime was never given an ordinal designation. No one really listened to me, but this weekend's story dialogue just shows the obvious in Simon Furman's current storyline. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 14:10, 8 November 2025 (EST)
- I basically concur with PBChew I think
- - Move "Dark Descent" and "Lines of Communication" back over to Third Armada along with the associated Cyber Pass info and keep that "next seven story events" tidbit in our back pocket.
- - We cross those bridges when we come to them vis a vis the story content of the as-of-yet unpublished events.
- - We keep working on shoring up our coverage of the original Power of the Primes storyline and the Thirteen-and/or-Artifact-relevant Legacy arcs in the meantime.

Wild King Episode 11 Title
[edit]Please send the title of Wild King episode 11 to the translation team: "復活！邪悪なるもの". I think it's titled "The Evil One Returns!", but I want to avoid any mistakes and will wait for what the team will say. (SevenPrimes (talk) 15:54, 24 September 2025 (EDT))
- Will do, thank you so much! --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 16:00, 24 September 2025 (EDT)
- How's the translation team is doing with episode 11's title? (SevenPrimes (talk) 15:38, 23 October 2025 (EDT))
- I am going to be real with you the heads of the team have been dealing with personal stuff as of late such that I too have been sitting on my hands on various projects for the time being. You did the right thing and I apologize for the hold-up. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 23:09, 23 October 2025 (EDT)

Nemesis/Nemesis Prime
[edit]I'd just like to apologise for being a total buffoon with regards to my handling of which pages the ML Nemesis Prime and NL Nemesis Star Convoy figures belong on. -- StrawDeath (talk) 22:22, 6 May 2026 (BST)
- No worries, these things happen. The content from the New Legends comic hadn't really made it to Nemesis (ship)'s page yet so your confusion was fairly understable --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 17:27, 6 May 2026 (EDT)
Legend moves
[edit]Good day. You've been very active in all the work that goes into accounting for the (Legends) pages and I could carry some of the weight of the moves and link updates too, but I'm not sure when a page may be moved. For instance, Bighorn has that move discussion banner on top now but no discussion. What decides when the page can be moved? BerylRoll (talk) 03:12, 10 May 2026 (EDT)
- Hello! Help would be fantastic! Honestly as the long tail of an already-greenlit-and-in-progress large scale migration those pages can be moved whenever, the community portal deliberation was essentially already the discussion. The only limit on the pace has been my own time and energy. You can more or less see who's left via Category:Articles to be moved but as of this writing the remaining moves to (BW) as part of the Legends migration are:
{{ #if: {{#ifexpr: 5 }}

Thank you for all of your assistance so far! --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 11:37, 10 May 2026 (EDT)- Wowzers you're making some incredible time here. I think I may convert this list into a running tally for convenience. --AzimuthAcolyte (talk) 18:10, 12 May 2026 (EDT)
- I'm glad to contribute (and would've done sooner if I had had the time the past month or two), plus I myself have several jbw card sets I still want to give a page and it's just more convenient to first get the links straight and then write the text than fix the links later. Converting the list to a tally has indeed proven useful (kept a tab open in editing mode so I could keep tally without editing your talk page constantly). Thanks for the help and encouragement.
