User talk:Cyberlink420/Archive1

Hi, regarding those Animated screencaps you've uploaded - perhaps you should used the youtube video somebody else shot that was from a *much* better angle, because the crooked angle from this video is terrible, and makes for bad pictures. We would prefer no pictures at all if the alternative is a bad ones.

Also, please use the copyright tags when uploading pics, for even screencaps are the intellectual property of Hasbro and whomever they produced the fiction with. Thanks. --FFN 16:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks. I just went and changed Sari and Blackarachnia's images and replaced them with the improved shots. Unfortunately, the Dinobots are MUCH harder to see in the non-skewed images, so I left that one as is. Copyright statements have been added to all of them as well.

Thanks! --FFN 17:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Citations needed for ROTF voice list

You added voice credits for a couple of ROTF characters on the ROTF page. Can you place provide the citation for them? As in the source. --FFN 15:54, 21 May 2009 (EDT)

Done. -- Cyberlink420 22:27, 21 May 2009 (EDT)

Transformers Devastation weapons

Hey, would it be cool if I spun off the list of Devastation weapons (and their origins in Transformers lore) into its own page? I agree that my edit was making the references section a bit long, but the fact that every single weapon in the game is connected to earlier cartoons and toylines seems like relevant information. I could split the list between melee and ranged weapons and sort them by status effect or rarity to make it easier to read and more useful to consult. -SuperGinrai (talk) 17:24, 28 September 2017 (EDT)

Nihongo

Why are you adding a template nobody asked for? Saix (talk) 15:03, 5 October 2017 (EDT)

I don't see the problem? It's built for Japanese names, and it doesn't look any different than what we had; might as well use it. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:36, 5 October 2017 (EDT)

If it performs no actual function and was never used in the five years since it was created, then, no, we do not have to use it. Saix (talk) 15:45, 5 October 2017 (EDT)

wikia.com/wiki/c:mlp: VS mlp.wikia.com/wiki/

I access this wiki on mobile, and the present addresses only give bland 404s. The full addresses I gave work on both mobile and desktop. Also, Star Swirl the Bearded listed before, and Twilight Sparkle listed after are both linked in full form. ReBoot Fan (talk) 05:08, 31 January 2018 (EST)

Yep, I see the same issue too. Interwiki links to Wikia are broken for mobile, both here and on other sites such as Wikipedia. Hmmm. --abates (talk) 05:24, 31 January 2018 (EST)

So, may I revert to my link changes on My Little Pony and Discord (MLP)?ReBoot Fan (talk) 05:42, 31 January 2018 (EST)

It's probably for the best for a short term solution. --abates (talk) 06:01, 31 January 2018 (EST)

Yeah, I don't typically browse the site on mobile since it's not really built for it, so I had no idea Wikia's interwiki links were no longer working on mobile. Go ahead and revert back to the direct links for now; if Wikia fixes things, we can always change it back later. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 08:16, 31 January 2018 (EST)

Superhero pages

We had already come to the conclusion a few years ago that those notes didn't add anything to the pages, and had removed them. Escargon (talk) 14:07, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

News to me; I've been here since Wikia, and I don't remember that discussion happening. Still, I agree that the lists were getting a little out of control, but I figured reducing them down to just the names and thereby preventing further bloat every time someone reprises a role is a decent compromise. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 14:11, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

/*WHY R U DOING THIS!? AND WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS!?!?!? R U INSANE OR SOMETHING!?!?!?!?!?*/

Will people please just stop banning me and sending me messages saying that I'VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG!?

It's not really my fault if you get mad at somebody over a few removed commas, but this just seems rather deliberate, the way you keep directing your apparent frustrations at me and only me!

Because of recent events and in light of them, I feel like I must ask you these questions: Am I the first and only person to present this problem? And if so, then what makes you and the other people in charge of this wiki personally inclined to act with what appears to be such understated aggression?

I am having a lot of trouble making sense of the "New messages (last change)" notifications I keep receiving from you, abates, Saix, and many others.

Look, just tell me precisely what it is you're trying to prove here, and maybe, just maybe I'll actually understand you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Transformers1001 (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

For the record, I'm not an admin, so I'm not the one handing out blocks; so far, only abates and M Sipher that have put you in time-out. But if you're wondering why you keep getting told off, it's because you keep removing commas meant to be used for basic formatting and grammar, overlinking far more than necessary (sometimes even to incorrect or irrelevant articles), making minor changes to the verbiage that aren't meaningful and are sometimes grammatically incorrect, adding things to categories they don't belong in, and generally making a lot of edits that don't really serve to make the article any better. As a result, people revert your changes because they aren't helpful, and the fact you keep doing things that people tell you not to means you're only continuing to cause the other editors frustration and bringing these time-outs upon yourself, especially considering that you haven't responded to any of the messages posted to your talk page up until now. And trust me, you're not the first, but you're the only one currently on this much of a streak, and you're painting yourself as a target for repeated reversion and moderation and reversion because you just keep doing it. Instead of saying "It's not my fault you have a problem with my edits" or "I'm being unfairly targeted", maybe realize that if this many people are reverting you and posting on your talk page, maybe it's an indicator that you need to stop and listen to what people are saying instead of just lashing out or continuing the same bad habits. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:13, 18 June 2018 (EDT)

MST3K

Because in the "Real-world references" section, a Wikipedia article is far more helpful than a article that consists of a few paragraphs that only gives the vaguest glimpses at what something really is. Escargon (talk) 20:02, 27 August 2018 (EDT)

That article also links to the Wikipedia article for people who want to seek out more information about the property itself while also providing context for other influences or uses that property has in Transformers. If a user is on TFWiki and we have a page on the subject, it's not unreasonable to think that they might want to see it. And if they want the full story, it's only one extra click. Besides, lots of articles have been like this since the beginning. We have real-world references to Metal Gear that link to Snake's article. We have references to X-Men that link to that article. It's genuinely not as much of a problem as you're making it out to be. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:45, 27 August 2018 (EDT)

I despise it there as well, but honestly, it's not a fight I'm particularly willing to have. Escargon (talk) 20:59, 27 August 2018 (EDT)

Reversions to Skulk page images

Hey, I saw you changed the images on the Skulk page - does it make sense to have the picture of Infernocus at the top, when it's Skulk's page?

WE'RE GONNA DIE (WFC)

Ok, sorry if I start a new discussion, but in Revenge of the Fallen (movie), there is a "BW reference" about Megatron's famous "yessss". And is CLEARLY marked "probably not intentional". So, why I cannot write a similiar thing here?

It probably doesn't belong on there either. -- Cyberlink420 (talk)

Q-Transformers

The videos you linked to aren't the actual episodes, they're the outtakes. Escargon (talk) 10:11, 6 February 2019 (EST)

STOP UNDOING MY EDITS

Why do you keep undoing my edits? Specifically the ones to RID and Energon. First of all, Energon is not stupid and rubbish. Sure, it's full of animation errors, but so what? G1 is too, yet you seldom see anyone calling g1 stupid. Second, RID is a terrible series. Maybe it's animated better than Energon, but its rubbish plot and annoying as hell characters (Sideburn is one of many) make it a worse series than Beast Machines and Energon put together. SuperKilogram (talk) 12:23, 8 March 2019 (EST)

Those are subjective opinions, and they're the outliers. The vast majority of people hate Energon not just because of animation errors, but because of poor dubbing, mistranslated scripts, obnoxious characters, a plot that drags on too long because it basically repeats the same story twice, etc. Whereas Robots in Disguise is actually fairly fondly remembered. (And for the record, people make fun of G1's countless animation errors all the time.) Either way, we only declare something as "bad" or "good if it's a belief expressed by a majority of fans online and in critical reception; your opinions alone don't speak for everyone else, and TFWiki articles are not the place for your personal vendettas. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 12:26, 8 March 2019 (EST)

No problem. It's a lucky thing I remembered we were using it on the Ruined Forever page. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 08:44, 22 March 2019 (EDT)

Thank you!

Hello Cyber,

Just to say thank you for removing the commas in several articles where I put the french voice actors, now I understood that a pipe | is better :)

Thank you too for correcting my article about Anne Plumet, my english isn't that good but you understood what I meant :D

Animated best show ever!

See you later on the wiki

SoundSky

The voice actor listings are divided into two sections, the first for the English and Japanese voice actors and the second for all others. The section with all others is separated from the English and Japanese section by a pipe. This collapses that section so that you have to click on the "more" to see it. Names within the "other voice actors" section should be separated by commas. We try to document every voice actor in every language, but having them all visible by default makes it harder to find the text about the events in the cartoons. Take a look at the voice actor section here to see how it is done with large numbers of voice actors and languages.--Khajidha (talk) 10:10, 26 March 2019 (EDT)

Oh I understand now... Thank you, I got it! :D --SoundSky

Powa Pro

Please stop. The Japanese name—the only one relevant to our wiki—is パワ, or "power" without the r. It is not パワー, the actual Japanese transliteration of "power". Saix (talk) 09:41, 5 April 2019 (EDT)

You put パワ in any translator, it's going to spit out "power". There's nothing wrong with interpreting it as such. (Also, if you're going to be that literal, it should be moved to "Pawapuro-kun".) -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 09:46, 5 April 2019 (EDT)

Google Translate is a tool, not an authority on linguistics and nobody versed in Japanese is going to read パワ as a direct transliteration of power. It's an abbreviation in the first place! Saix (talk) 00:58, 6 April 2019 (EDT)

You're right, it's an abbreviation. Of "実況パワフルプロ野球" (Jikkyō pawafurupuro yakyū). Specifically, that bit in the middle. "パワフルプロ" (Pawafurupuro), a transliterated version of "Powerful pro". Strip out the "furu" in the middle, and you're left with (パワプロ) Pawapuro. Last I checked, and removing "ful" from the word "powerful" doesn't also remove the R; the intended meaning is still there. Plus, by virtue of being an abbreviation, they're not going to add an extra character, even if it's the "correct" spelling. Plus, you know, there's the fact that Konami literally localized it as "Power Pro". So you've got a translation tool, the context, and the official localization all pointing to "power". This isn't a discrepancy or a localization change like Belmondo; this is the clearly intended meaning and you're the only one still claiming otherwise. But if you're insistent, why don't you change it to "Pawapuro-kun" instead? "Powa Pro-kun" is a weird half-step between the two interpretations, and that only serves to please no one. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 01:33, 6 April 2019 (EDT)

Bullet point insignia

All the images you put the Delete template on are in use in toyline pages, but because of the way it works it doesn't appear on the image's description. --Riptide (talk) 17:44, 10 April 2019 (EDT)

Oops, that's my bad. I tried using "what links here" as well, but nothing seemed to show up, so I thought they had been replaced by the larger insignia. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:09, 10 April 2019 (EDT)

Don't worry - easy mistake to make. I'm going to put Template:Templatepic on those images for clarity. --Riptide (talk) 19:05, 10 April 2019 (EDT)

Image formatting in templates

Hey, so I noticed that you have been editing the image widths in templates so that the image doesn't poke out the bottom of the notice box. That's something I've been doing as well, and have done to all the templates I could find (except for some, such as CaptionBastard and SignYourPosts that I can't edit without admin rights), as you can see here. However, I found recently that this kind of formatting is inconsistent and depends on your browser window's resolution; earlier, I fixed some stuff on my Chromebook, but when I opened the same page on my desktop I found that the image was still exceeding the bounds of the notice box. What I'm saying is that just changing image width seems to only be a partial solution; we may need to look into a more permanent fix, one that's consistently correctly-formatted for all users. Genitus (talk) 16:04, 12 April 2019 (EDT)

Unfortunately, I don't know of any solutions for such an issue given what (comparatively little) knowledge I have of the wiki's limitations. It might be better to ask someone like Abates who's more well-versed in what the wiki software does and doesn't allow for, see if there's something that can be implemented. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:24, 12 April 2019 (EDT)

Ratbat

Hi, sorry if I start a new discussion, but are you sure that G1 Ratbat animation model can be found in Transformers: Devastation videogame? If so, please, can you tell me where did you get your screenshot? (Also because I finished the game and I didn't see it so I want to miss nothing.) Thank you!--RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 27 April 2019

Like it says on the page, you can't actually see or fight Ratbat in the game. However, the model they were going to use for the fight is still on the disc, but it never gets used anywhere. The model was even ripped from the game's files and uploaded to The Models Resource some time ago. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 02:31, 28 April 2019 (EDT)

Yeah yeah, I know that you cannot fight him, I meant Ratbat as collectible. However thank you--RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 27 April 2019

Good point

Thought it wasn’t stretched, borders were just put on the sides. I read the image guidelines, i now know how to upload images here, one question, it is okay to use lossless compression to shrink file size? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 0ff-ModelB0i (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

That should be fine, yeah, as long as the file size isn’t out of control. Keep in mind, though, that most people are only going to look at these images as tiny thumbnails on the character and episode pages, so they really don’t need to be that big. It’s rare that we need anything bigger than 720p. — Cyberlink420 (talk) 01:41, 13 July 2019 (EDT)

What is your problem?

Why are you deleting all my edits? You explained to me why the "references" I was adding to pages don't count as such and I accepted that. When I made a remark on the Maximum overdrive page that Optimus Primal used a similar command, you reverted that. I thought, fine, it needs to be his own page, so I made it into one. What was wrong with it and why did you delete it? Nhaz (talk) 09:59, 16 July 2019 (EDT)

I don't have the power to delete pages. MSipher, one of the site administrators, deleted it because (in his exact words) "This is a severe reach." All I did was delete the link to the page since it didn't make sense to link to something that wasn't there anymore. You need to chill out. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 10:24, 16 July 2019 (EDT)

"A severe reach"? Alright, I'll take it to him. -- Nhaz (talk) 10:27, 16 July 2019 (EDT)

Rung

I suggest you to read Movie Dropkick's page. There you'll see that I'm not a liar. RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 20 July 2019

Then that should probably be removed too. We've done the same for pages like Hot Rod and Impactor in the past. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:09, 20 July 2019 (EDT)

Good, I think it too but I want ask you a thing (I am not angry, OK? It's just a comparison of opinions): I've never understood why BB Dropkick and Drone Dropkick are in the same page.RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 20 July 2019

It was already debated for a few months and decided that the two weren't different enough nor their fictional appearances varied enough that they couldn't co-exist on the same page. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 16:30, 20 July 2019 (EDT)

Good, thank you. RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 20 July 2019

File dimensions

Hey, can you tell me how can I do a smaller file dimension? Because, I don't know the exact procedure.RoboWarriorPrime (talk) 29 July 2019

What program are you using to save your images? -- 08:23, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Snipping tool. RoboWarriorPrime (talk) 09:49, 29 July 2019

Well there's your problem. Snipping Tool captures tend to have huge filesizes. If you want a quick and easy fix, take the image you saved using Snipping Tool, open it in Paint, then save it again. Paint tends to process images at a lower dpi than Snipping Tool, so you should be able to just re-save the images with no change to the dimensions and get a nearly identical image at only a fraction of the file size. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 10:07, 29 July 2019 (EDT)

Thank you very much. RoboWarriorPrime (talk) 10:09, 29 July 2019

I've just tried your council. Why it didn't work? RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 06 August 2019

Walk me through exactly what you did so I can figure it out. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:57, 6 August 2019 (EDT)

I took Nemesis's image with Snipping Tool. After it, I opened the image in Paint 3D and at last saved it. RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 06 August 2019

But I didn't save the image when I've captured it the first time. RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 06 August 2019

Not Paint 3D. Just plain old Paint, the one that comes pre-installed on Windows. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 17:00, 6 August 2019 (EDT)

"Red Five" (Cyberverse)

I thought that too, but I also thought that the way he was part of the group that was otherwise made up of named characters, his prominent red colouring and the fact he was the first one to be "shot down" as part of the diversion was a reference to the Redshirt trope, which then became playing with the trope because he didn't actually die.

Already discussed here. The upshot is that the announcement was vague marketing speak but that actual released products link the BB movie to the previous ones.

Continuity Notes

How are Continuity Notes defined? What are some examples? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 96megatron (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Intentional callbacks and references to past events, not just vague connections. For example, using a macguffin obtained in the last movie or a character specifically mentioning something that happened in a previous movie would constitute a continuity note. A list of new characters or "character uses a weapon they've used in every other movie" is not, nor is just a list of film plot points. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:28, 2 August 2020 (EDT)

Thank you for taking the time for the response. Are there any of these bullet points that can be kept? −

• This film reveals the existence of ‘The Creators’, a mysterious race of aliens responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs and creating our titular transforming robotic aliens, or at least their elemental metal. Originally it was believed the Allspark was the sole progenitor of the race of ‘Transformers’. How 'the Allspark' and ‘The Creators’ are connected remains to be told.
• Sometime after the 'Battle for Chicago', the U.S. has provided the company, Kinetic Solutions Incorporated, with the collected Decepticons’ remains and their abandoned technology for research. However, during the massive clean up some of the technology was stolen by quite a hefty amount of people, not associated with the U.S. government. Even ending up in the hands of those both within and outside of the United States, the Russians have even started a bidding war.
• Following the disbanding of NEST, a new paramilitary unit, called Cemetery Wind was formed, composed of just humans, some who’ve lost families in the Battle of Chicago, and is headed by Harold Attinger, tasked with dealing with the remaining Decepticons forces. Although some of Earth’s government officials are under the assumption that the Autobots are still assisting in efforts to put an end to the remaining Decepticons threat.
• Brains, last seen in the previous film going down with the Decepticon mothership, alongside Wheelie, leaving his fate ambiguous is revealed to still be alive (albeit without one of his legs attached, using it as a makeshift cane). Wheelie's fate was something that was still unknown, until his reappearance in the following film, The Last Knight.
• Sometime after the final battle of Dark of the Moon, Optimus had his arm reattached, after being removed by Sentinel Prime during their final fight, presumably by Ratchet, our best offscreen medic.
• In the KSI lab, among the spoils of war, are the heads of Sentinel Prime and Megatron, provided through government contracts.
• Established in the first film, Optimus Prime has held a no-harming-or-killing-humans rule (although his Autobots don't always follow that rule), the betrayal and subsequent hunting of his kind by the humans challenges Optimus' one rule.

Creating a page for the Activators

Having noticed your edits to my edits to the Mini-Con page, I decided to put forth the idea that the Activator Mini-Cons should possibly be given their own page, considering that the Weaponizer Mini-Cons from the same series have one of their own. It would serve the purpose of lessening the amount of links and text in that section, and makes a certain amount of sense given, again, the Weaponizer Mini-Cons have a page of their own for a similar purpose. -- ChangingFate (talk) 17:47, 9 August 2020 (EDT)

Put the link in the edit description when you add it. Also, none of those Volume 1 links actually go to the respective store listings. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 00:24, 14 August 2020 (EDT)

SG Movie Optimus

I used a version of that photo with a clear background to use as the main picture of this page but do you think the old one is still better for the merchandise section? Perhaps I should use the picture of SG Optimus carrying the Ion Blaster as the main picture and use the old picture in the merchandise section, since that old picture did show all the accessories and the full figure.--Primestar3 (talk) 19:55, 17 August 2020 (EDT)

Sentinel Prime is not Zeta Prime

If we have to apply what "Hasbro" says, then we should apply what Transformers DOTM's script says. You see, in this script, Sentinel Prime united the cybertronian tribes. In fact, Nova Prime from G1 did it. So, if I use your way, then we should call it Sentinel Nova Prime.

Again, it makes no sense. Even if Hasbro says the "full name" of Zeta Prime, it appears that the character is only called Zeta Prime in the final work. You cannot imagine a new character called "Sentinel Zeta Prime" just for one quote from Hasbro.

What about Hasbro ? Check discussions about the project WFC, everyone asked Hasbro with this question : "Are we going to get Sentinel or Zeta or both ?". Hasbro finally answered "Zeta Prime" with a picture of the character. They didn't say "Sentinel Zeta Prime".

If you want to add the truth in this page, then rename it Zeta Prime (WFC) or delete it once and for all.

Zeta Prime has nothing to do with Alpha Trion. This page is full of lies. Sentinel Prime is the PREDECESSOR of Zeta Prime. Sentinel Prime had the matrix. Zeta Prime didn't get the matrix.

Even Exodus proved they weren't the same character about the belt.

Like it or not, they will never be the same character. The truth speaks. -- TransformersFan00 (talk) 10:14, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

Well clearly you haven't read any of the fucking novels, because A: Sentinel Prime does not have the Matrix in Exodus, and B: He's called Sentinel Zeta Prime multiple times in the Covenant of Primus. But please, do go on about your "truth" that can be easily disproven by, you know, actually knowing what happened. Escargon (talk) 10:34, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

Again, go watch the G1, the ORIGINAL Transformers and the cartoon of 2005. Sentinel and Zeta are not the same character. Plus not the same skin appeareance AT ALL. You misinterpret everything. Go bring your "proofs" and it will be EASY to disprove them. Hasbro has already contradicted itself. Come with more of your "proofs" and contradictions. You talk about Exodus ? Don't you see the belt ? Your "Sentinel Zeta Prime" is so unrealistic for Sentinel is the mentor of Optimus WHEREAS Zeta is not the mentor of Optimus. You could say Sentinel and Zeta are the predecessors of Optimus, but then so are Alpha, Nominus and Nova. So then, Sentinel Zeta Alpha Nova Nominus Prime is the predecessor of Optimus. You are completely out of the reality. -- TransformersFan00 (talk) 10:44, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

G1 and the movies have nothing to do with one another, nor do they have anything to do with WFC. I don't think you understand how continuities, reboots, and reusing names for trademark purposes works. I'd hate to have to see you try to reconcile Ironhide, Ironhide and Ironhide. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 11:05, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

This is hypocritical. You talk about continuity but the page says "Sentinel Zeta Prime" fought against the Quintessons and was close to Alpha Trion. Don't you see this come from G1 ???? In this case, it is Sentinel Prime, not Zeta Prime. So think before you speak. If we truly apply your false point of view, then we should call this character Sentinel Nova Nominus Zeta Prime.

So uncivilised. --TransformersFan00 (talk) 11:24, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

So what I'm getting from this is that you don't understand that WFC takes place in a different universe than G1. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 11:30, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

Darkside Optimus Prime

The image i put us Darkside Optimus Prime according to the source I found viva video and is confirmed to be Darkside Optimus Prime in a G1 body but I don’t know where it originated and reverse search hasn’t help at all so it will be an stub here —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nelspeedracer (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

You're going to have to be more specific. How can you be certain it's Darkside Optimus Prime and not Nemesis Prime? Heck, if you don't even know where it's from, it shouldn't be on the wiki in the first place. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:10, 1 September 2020 (EDT)

That’s Nemesis Prime from the All Spark manga. Escargon (talk) 18:14, 1 September 2020 (EDT)

My bad I’ll have Darkside Optimus Prime into Nemesis Prime then —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nelspeedracer (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Although why it’s Nemesis Prime and not Darkside Optimus Prime when he was brought to life from his dark mind and so was Darkside Optimus Prime so I’m a bit confused —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nelspeedracer (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Because not everything's always going to line up 100% between different versions of the same character. In the Basics video you took that screencap from, it even says Nemesis Prime is sometimes the manifestation of Optimus's dark thoughts.

Also, I'll be blunt: You have this bad habit of trying to add information to pages just for the sake of adding it without doing proper research into where it's from, what it actually means, or if it's even correct. Adding things in such a state only creates more work for other editors, and it shouldn't have to be everyone else's responsibility to fill in the rest because you refuse to do the legwork yourself. In the future, please don't add information without properly verifying its accuracy. (And please sign your posts.)-- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:53, 1 September 2020 (EDT)

Undo revision 1454429 by MistaTee (talk) "They" is standard pronoun usage for a character with no established gender.)

Geezis, I hope you're not going to go through every character and do this. Shouldn't we assume every character who is not female is male? MistaTee (talk) 17:57, 29 October 2020 (EDT)

With how much fiction has introduced characters that had no stated gender in their bios (whether they were canonized male or female), and with how clear it has been official sources use this wiki as an information resource (Scrapmetal, Quintesson Balliff, Roadburner's depiction in the Legends game, etc.), the wiki should be as accurate as possible in presenting the information that is known, and if we don't know a character's gender, the most correct way would be to refer to them with they/them pronouns. Its not gonna kill anyone to use singular they. SoundJack426 (talk) 19:40, 29 October 2020 (EDT)

What qualifies whether it's known or not? For example, in G1 up to and including through the 86 movie, only Arcee and the female autobots are named as such. Would this mean everyone else from that period is male or genderless? Do we go by their voices? MistaTee (talk) 01:23, 30 October 2020 (EDT)

With Hasbro's original intent being there would be no girls in Transformers, and considering everyone from that era have been referred to with male/female pronouns by this point (I believe), nothing would change about them. But in general, when I say "known pronouns", I mean that they have been referred to with pronouns, whether in story or toy bio. If they don't have any fiction and/or bio info that identifies them, they should really be referred to by they/them. Easiest examples being Mini-Cons/Microns that were released as special exclusives with no bio attached and absolutely no fiction, or any BotBots without any pronouns in the official website bios. The ER Airwave is a new character without a bio and no fiction identifying their gender, so we should refer to them as they/them. SoundJack426 (talk) 08:40, 30 October 2020 (EDT)

I see your logic, however they/them is plural. You should really use "it" [1]. Though I do prefer "they" to these nu-pronouns, ze, xe, whatever. --MistaTee (talk) 15:04, 1 November 2020 (EST)

Better idea: let's not do that, because "they/them" are acceptable pronouns for nonbinary individuals or individuals of unspecified gender, and calling someone "it" is a really shitty thing to do. It stays as is. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:27, 1 November 2020 (EST)

Helping out a new guy, Hello, I'm Azrael and I'm teaching myself the basic of editing, could you tell me why you unedited my edit for future refence for Magmatron page, thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Azrael (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

As I said on your talk page, the rules say you shouldn't be editing image captions if you're still new. The captions are meant as a reward and incentive for the people who put in the hard work fixing pages, adding content, and making the wiki better. We're meant to be informative first and foremost; while we do allow humor, it's largely an afterthought by comparison. Once you've gotten a lot more substantial edits under your belt, like adding episode summaries or filling in toy information, feel free to add in a few captions here and there! But if you're only here to add jokes and not put in any actual work, you're probably best going elsewhere. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 13:29, 5 November 2020 (EST)

Thank you, the thing I wish to add for now is the official bio and stat blocks that some characters have like IDW Beast Wars or the original 80's G1, as a way see the official info about some people.

Hello, me again, I just notice you change to my change to the Lost light page, may I ask why. I was just trying to help people understand the roles on the ship for the whole crew and not just the ones in command to help better show the ship crew and their function overall. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Azrael (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Because literally 95% of it was made up or inaccurate. Escargon (talk) 08:19, 17 November 2020 (EST)

While I will admit to taking some liberty using the main profile to try to see where they were on the ship along with using what they did beforehand and with characters info dumps to figure out their job. Some characters that die in all version of the lost light like Pipes alone with those who clearly left, Bob and Sunstreak, is not wrong. So no I wasn't 95% making it up. But in the spirit of cooperation, how about you help me correct my mistakes to display a more accurate list of the crew to still proved the readers of this wiki with a list of crew and their roles better.

How about you stop trying to add pointless labels (most of which are your own personal fanon) to the list? --Khajidha (talk) 10:58, 17 November 2020 (EST)
