What's RTM1? An Asian TV station, I assume, but... is there more to it than that? I wanna know the secret origin of the StarTV dubs!

(And, uh, sorry for that whole Obscure TF mailing list thing. But it happens.) --Monzo 09:31, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, that's fine - I'd just realised something about one of your obscure characters. Hmm... RTM 1? Yep, an Asian TV station... One of the channels of Radio Televisyen Malaysia. StarTV's handling of the episodes became more famous amongst modern fandom for whatever reason, but it was RTM that ultimately did them. --Ratbat 09:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Huh. Do you remember what it was you wanted to say? The site is basically on hiatus, so there's a lot of stuff that's changed which we haven't accounted for, like Giant Decepticon Warrior making a second appearance or Dion getting a toy... it's kind of a static resource at this point, but I can make a note of it.

I think the subject of these dodgy English dubs would make for a good article. A lot of people think of them as "the StarTV dubs" or "the Singapore dubs", so getting the truth about them out there would be great. --Monzo 09:58, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm...that's not a bad idea. Oh, and the thing for the Obscurities page was about the Decepticon Octus (from the Triumverate, UK Comic) - colouring aside, his alt-mode is clearly a Dalek! :) --Ratbat 07:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
