Section names

It's just "Cybertron comic" and "Universe comic" because there are no other comics by those names. You do not need to add the publisher names. Mimi (talk) 01:53, 6 April 2015 (EDT)

Contractions

Why are you expanding contractions in article writeups? That isn't necessary. --abates (talk) 16:28, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

See above. --abates (talk) 23:55, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

I thought that in a few instances, the sentence flowed better without the contraction. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 23:56, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

Hmm, fair enough! --abates (talk) 01:55, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

Section headers

Pleeeease don't start adding "Beast Wars cartoon continuity" to every page for isolated sections without discussing its necessity. Saix (talk) 21:02, 16 April 2015 (EDT)

Once again... Saix (talk) 11:01, 9 May 2015 (EDT)

Dimension hoppers

Thank you for making it obvious why Axiom Nexus citizens make the Dimension Hoppers category pointless. Please undo your work. --ItsWalky (talk) 16:52, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

I'm also wondering why a lot of these guys are being added to the Dimension Hoppers category. Why are the Autojetters and Seacons going in there? I don't see anything on their pages about going from one continuity family to another. --ItsWalky (talk) 16:55, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

Okay okay, all right, apparently you have moved all of the G1 guys from "Invasion" into the category because they live in SG now. This is... arguably unnecessary, because if you read the dimension hoppers category, the category exists for characters who change continuity families, and both Classics and SG are Primax. Whether Positive Primax and Negative Primax constitute something different enough to warrant the category is NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE DISCUSSED, SO PLEASE MOVE THEM BACK UNTIL DISCUSSION IS HAD, THANK YOU. --ItsWalky (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

Well they were there in "BW:SG" even though they didn't do anything with any actual Shattered Glass dudes. Escargon (talk) 16:57, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

FACEPALM DIRECTED AT YOU, READ ABOVE --ItsWalky (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

I hadn't noticed you'd updated with that when I began editing. Escargon (talk)

When I started adding characters to the Dimension Hoppers category, characters like Ultra Magnus (SG) and Treadshot (SG) were already there. I figured that was because this wiki classifies G1 and Shattered Glass as different continuity families. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 17:05, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

You also moved the entirety of the cast list of the Universe comics in there, despite the page explicitly excluding them. --ItsWalky (talk) 17:08, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

For future reference, if you ever stumble across something that seemingly requires hundreds of edits, please please please please ask us about it first. --ItsWalky (talk) 17:11, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

1. I apologize for breaking wiki protocol. 2. I guess I made a couple unnecessary edits with the Universe characters, but I was intentionally leaving out the characters who had only traveled to the Cauldron. 3. I moved the characters in "Invasion" and Beast Wars Shattered Glass because I read on this wiki that G1 and Shattered Glass were different continuity families. I thought that the absence of all the Classics characters from "Invasion"/BWSG was a minor oversight to be corrected. 4. Why did you undo my alphebetization edit to Apelinq and Child of Primus category edit to 2001 RID Optimus Prime? 5. Do rapid conversations on talk pages always happen at this rate? I've had trouble responding because of edit conflicts.

In the course of running down your contributions list to revert everything, I figured there may have been some false positives, which I am in the process of fixing on a case-by-case basis. Also, I have placed Omega Prime in the dimension hopper category since he's actually gone from RID to the UT. --ItsWalky (talk) 17:40, 26 April 2015 (EDT)

Night Viper

Just to clarify, he was always going to be a Maximal toy. The Predacon history was his original intended backstory. Makes sense, him being a snake and all. Most of the reptiles were Preds.--Jimsorenson (talk) 18:53, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Apologies. I will rectify that. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:58, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Removing "cartoon-only" categories...

If a formerly-cartoon-only character appears in a comic, then you need to replace "cartoon only" with "Category: Fiction-only Transformers", not just delete the category outright. --M Sipher (talk) 23:59, 14 July 2015 (EDT)

Sorry about that. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 00:00, 15 July 2015 (EDT)

Universe

Nice work on this section. If you're up for it, other attributions for Children/Minions would be useful. --Giggidy (talk) 23:27, 31 July 2015 (EDT)

Overbite

I meant merge Overbite with the G1 one page, not adding the new information to his Universe page but actually, I already add that.--Primestar3 (talk) 17:38, 2 August 2015 (EDT)

References

Do you know why refs that I added don't show up at the end of the page? I referenced Ask Vctor Prime in this page but it don't show up.Primestar3 (talk) 20:15, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

You have to put {{reflist}} at the bottom of the page. --ItsWalky (talk) 20:23, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

Thanks.--Primestar3 (talk) 20:35, 30 August 2015 (EDT)

The reason for Grum's name not showing up

Though I can't say for sure, I suspect that Grum's name was missing because he inserted one too many tildes when signing his post, causing it to put only the date, like so: 22:26, 6 January 2016 (EST) -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 22:26, 6 January 2016 (EST)

Gargent

You deleted the Gargent image for the Universal stream page? Are we not allowed to use GoBots images like that? Lush City (talk) 19:56, 28 January 2016 (EST)

I don't recall exactly which discussion it was, but I believe it was agreed that we shouldn't use images which AVP askers uploaded with their questions. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 21:05, 28 January 2016 (EST)

Disambiguating Wilder

Hey, you're pretty knowledgeable about diambiguation pages and such, right? How would we handle Wilder, L. W. Wilder, and Wilder (G1)? Would we need a [[Wilder (disambiguation)]]? I hate to bother you with this, but his stuff confuses me. -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 22:17, 22 February 2016 (EST)

Huh. I've never noticed that before, but I beleive three guys like that is sufficient to merit a disambiguation. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:18, 22 February 2016 (EST)

Yeah, that one must have slipped through the cracks. Anyway, I'll probably start fixing some links to Wilder, but I won't be able to do them all tonight. Thanks for your help! -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 22:29, 22 February 2016 (EST)

Link fix

Since I wasn't sure if you'd get a notification when I did it or not, I just wanted to let you know that I fixed a link on your talk page (specifically, Apelinq -> Apelinq (BM)) Cheers! -Foffy the Sheep (talk) 17:11, 29 February 2016 (EST)

Ain't No Rat

To answer your question, Dreamwave was planning to tie Beast Wars into its G1 continuity, and its comics were written with that in mind. It also simplifies things by putting the MTMTE and Summer Special content together. Saix (talk) 16:36, 21 April 2016 (EDT)

We don't do that?

http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Thrashclaw&diff=1097114&oldid=1097112

Surely we should link directly to Of Masters and Mayhem somewhere in that article? and that seems as good a place as any--better than anywhere else, even, because the text is already there; i just made it a link. No offense intended; i just don't understand why we don't/shouldn't do it this way.

Thanks. --Rhymus (talk) 20:12, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

P.S.-- http://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Slice&diff=1097118&oldid=1097108 ...Wow. Thanks! --Rhymus (talk) 20:15, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

I'm not aware if it is specifically stated in any rule, but we don't do it anywhere on the wiki. If you think we should, bring it to the talk page. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 23:28, 31 May 2016 (EDT)

Changing dates

Why are you changing dates to have the year first? --MistaTee (talk) 06:22, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

I'm sick of the confusion between U.S. and UK order, and in any case, ymd format is how the Japanese do it. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 12:05, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

Not a huge fan, as I've always grown up with MDY, but I guess as long as it's consistent. BTW, the wiki server itself has "19 August 2016". --MistaTee (talk) 15:53, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

Deluge vs Drench

Thanks to you, the Shatterpoint article once again SAYS Generation 2 Deluge while it LINKS to G1 Deluge (who has a rather different deco from Deluge (G2)). i explained this in my edit summary. Please revert your revert.

--Rhymus (talk) 04:28, 31 August 2016 (EDT)

Then maybe next time you should use proper text formatting. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 04:38, 31 August 2016 (EDT)

i see. i thought it'd be fine to leave the franchise identifiers as suffixes rather than prefixes. (The way i had it wasn't even grammatically incorrect.) Sorry. For future reference, how would you feel about His color scheme is based somewhat loosely on that of G1 Deluge or G2 Drench, or His color scheme is based somewhat loosely on that of Deluge or Drench? Also, is there a reason you italicized "Generation 2" but not "Generation 1"? --Rhymus (talk) 04:55, 31 August 2016 (EDT)

Either of those should be fine, though I think the latter is a bit vague to readers. And Generation 2 is italicized because it is the actual published product branding; "Generation 1" is a retronym for The Transformers. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 05:48, 31 August 2016 (EDT)

Animated Blackout IS Prominent Enough

How is Animated Blackout not prominent enough? We have Animated Perceptor on the Perceptor (disambiguation) page, and unlike Blackout, he doesn't even have a toy. Heck, we have RID Kickback on Kickback (disambiguation). --DannyBoy (talk) 07:12, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

Perhaps I acted in haste, but I don't count a single episode appearance and a toy which wasn't released in the U.S. as sufficiently prominent. Heck, Animated Perceptor and Robots in Disguise Kickback could probably be removed. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 07:17, 23 September 2016 (EDT)

Club magazine content

We have only three more months to go in which "we have a 30 day grace period for FP magazine content to go on the wiki" is still relevant, so, like.... --ItsWalky (talk) 21:38, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

? What have I done which hasn't been out for 30 days yet? Do you mean creating stubs for the SG Animated characters? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 21:43, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

Isn't the Thunder Mayhem image from this most recent issue? --ItsWalky (talk) 21:55, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

Aha, it is not. Ignore me. --ItsWalky (talk) 21:56, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

Date formatting

We don't format dates year-first. Never have. Nobody does. Stop changing this. --M Sipher (talk) 22:25, 27 October 2016 (EDT)

Reflist

Thanks for the backstop on Gargent 984.08 Alpha. --Khajidha (talk) 18:35, 13 December 2016 (EST)

"Anomie" Date error

Ultra Magnus or anybody, the date "1st cycle 3041" is way off, isn't it? Why remove this error? --Kmc (talk) 21:08, 3 February 2017 (EST)

I thought the logical explanation was that James Roberts had deliberately refreshed the calendar to a new cycle. In any event, Chris McFeely moved it to issue #1's page. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 10:27, 4 February 2017 (EST)

Kre-O moves

When you move the Kre-O character page contents, try to remember that you're going to have to make some alterations/additions to the text. These new sections in the toy area will need links to "Kre-O" and "Kreon" in them since these would likely be the first instances of those words on those pages. --M Sipher (talk) 19:41, 19 February 2017 (EST)

I'll keep that in mind. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 19:42, 19 February 2017 (EST)

Nemesis Prime

That character is the same one as Optimus Prime, though? I mean, it's not like say, Tankor, cause the basic remnants of the personality are still there, but evil. He's more like Rhinox in Dark Designs. Escargon (talk) 15:15, 7 March 2017 (EST)

I can see where you are coming from. The Nemesis Prime personality has a coloration of its own which fits with the rest of the "Nemesis Prime (G1)" page; hence why I think it all belongs on the Nemesis Prime page. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 16:20, 7 March 2017 (EST)

Sure but isn't that also the case of say, Yokohama Convoy? I mean obviously Optimus doesn't have stickers on him. but still. Escargon (talk) 17:22, 7 March 2017 (EST)

Mini-Cons

Why are you wiping out information on those pages? What is the point of sending readers to a separate page for repurposed toys? --M Sipher (talk) 16:33, 26 April 2017 (EDT)

Invasion Boxart

Hey, I noticed that your crop for Treadshot had a better quality than simply cropping the lithograph online. Do you happen to have the entire Botcon 2012 lithograph by any chance? Thanks in advance Ed (talk) 20:18, 26 April 2017 (EDT)

I found a close-up shot from Seibertron from their BotCon 2012 Treadshot gallery. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:36, 26 April 2017 (EDT)

Oh, okay. Thanks Ed (talk) 00:04, 27 April 2017 (EDT)

Foreign names

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but aren't all foreign names supposed to go at the end of articles? I thought that was the standard. Rotary (talk) 20:12, 15 May 2017 (EDT)

When a character debuts in a foreign territory with a foreign-script name, the standard is just to put it at the top. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 20:27, 15 May 2017 (EDT)

Oh, gotcha. My mistake. Thanks for fixing it! Rotary (talk) 20:32, 15 May 2017 (EDT)

A Hopefully Friendly Suggestion

Hey, man, you're a friend, so I hope you take this the right way. I've noticed a recent trend in your edits towards trying to apply a kind of lawyery view of the wiky's policies towards the articles. Despite what Hermes Conrad says, technically correct is not always the best kind of correct. When you're faced with a corner case, like Clutch the Decepticon turned Renegade or the two Cryoteks, before you stake out a position, maybe you should ask yourself if you're actually making the wiki a better place. Is the Clutch article better now that it has an ugly "this article lacks any official visual representation" box? Would the two Cryoteks be better in any reasonable sense if you merge them? If the answer to either of those questions is no, then you should really take a step back and wonder if you are helping, or just stirring the pot. --Jimsorenson (talk) 09:23, 18 June 2017 (EDT)

Twinferno

There is a Titans Return Deluxe Twinferno and a RID Warrior Twinferno. Please specify. --Monzo (talk) 20:56, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

EDIT: Nevermind. --Monzo (talk) 20:57, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

EDIT EDIT: I did some cross-checking, and to the best of my determination, Titans Return Voyager Alpha Trion came out around August and therefore wouldn't count as 4th quarter 2016 product. I realize you voted before I did the research, but would appreciate it if you would still alter your vote. --Monzo (talk) 22:46, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

Bad Boy and Dealbreaker

I've noticed that you've restored these names on Powerflash and Tap-Out's pages, but why? Bad Boy and Deal Breaker weren't names they personally identified themselves with, those names were just disguises. That's like writing on Optimus Prime's page, "also goes by Motormaster because he disguised as him in that one G1 episode." --Nom (talk) 01:47, 11 July 2017 (EDT)

*shrug* I thought it was interesting. If you think it really doesn't belong, be my guest. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:23, 11 July 2017 (EDT)

Bluestreak box art

Thanks. i still think Bluestreak's article should actually show the miscolored art. (Rather than just talking about it and linking to some other article that shows it.) i used your pic this time. Let me know if there's a reason you think Bluestreak's article shouldn't show the Diaclone-colored box art. --Rhymus (talk) 01:28, 16 July 2017 (EDT)

"Autobot-allied Mini-Cons"

The Weaponizers did all explicitly become Autobots during the course of "Worthy", so I don't think saying "Autobot-allied" is accurate. - TBR (talk) 00:27, 17 July 2017 (EDT)

Shatterpoint

Thanks for catching that. I misread Wind-Sheer's page as SP being a Unicron BELIEVER. My bad. Crossfire 21:48, 16 January 2018 (EST)

No problem! S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 21:50, 16 January 2018 (EST)

Size classes

Why do you keep adding size classes to Japanese releases that are not sold at consistent price points like Hasbro products or sometimes not engineered to fit budgetary concerns? Godbomber and Super Ginrai were not sold at the same price point and weren't made with consideration to Hasbro's size class limitations; likewise, Blitzwing with Big Fight isn't the same thing as Leo Prime sold by himself. Saix (talk) 17:24, 19 March 2018 (EDT)

Studio Series

Why are you having it so characters say Generations and Studio Series when they only have one Generations toy? Take any character from Generations released under a subline imprint, and when that is there only toy, it goes under the general Generations subheading instead. Why are you changing this for the Studio Series guys? --notirishman (talk) 15:59, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

Okay I see, you posted something on the Community Portal, and I put my thoughts down. But I think you should've at least put the post up before you made all your changes to get more opinions on the subject. --notirishman (talk) 16:11, 27 May 2018 (EDT)

Progress Report

All Combiner Wars images have been completed. notirishman (talk) 23:48, 15 July 2018 (EDT)

JG1 toyline revamp

There, better?--Nevermore (talk) 06:22, 8 August 2018 (EDT)

What's wrong with the redirects?

Why shouldn't we use redirects on pages? Should we avoid using redirects when the time arises? notirishman (talk) 00:49, 26 August 2018 (EDT)

Yes, because it wastes time for users and is an unneeded load on the server. People eliminate redirects on the site all the time. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:03, 27 August 2018 (EDT)

Okay, thank you, I wasn't aware. notirishman (talk) 22:11, 27 August 2018 (EDT)

We could use some serious help with removing all Ker-O-related redirects. It's too tiresome for one person to do alone! -NexusShard17 (talk) 09:51, 26 September 2018 (EDT)

Page Delection

The page currently titled "Jetfire (Movie)" is ready for deletion. All the necessary information from that page has been moved to the one titled "Jetfire (ROTF)". I am asking for help with deleting "Jetfire (Movie)" so "Jetfire (ROTF)" can be renamed as such. --NexusShard17 (talk) 09:14, 19 September 2018 (EDT)

Uh, he isn't an admin. --notirishman (talk) 09:48, 19 September 2018 (EDT)

If that's the case, then who is? -NexusShard17 (talk) 09:52, 26 September 2018 (EDT)

Hachette covers main image

I started filling these out assuming Guido Guidi was by default the artist of the "new" image, but I now realize this is not always the case. Several are by Don Figueroa and others. Do the books themselves ID the cover art? I hate having to put "unknown" but may have to in some cases. Is it listed online anywhere? MistaTee (talk) 17:20, 24 September 2018 (EDT)

Sorry, that's not what I have seen from Hachette. I was hoping that by enlisting your help, I could find out the artists more easily. I'm not much of an art identifier myself. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 13:23, 8 October 2018 (EDT)

Siege Leader Class Ultra Magnus

Why did you undo my edit? And why is there no mention of the War For Cybertron: Siege Leader Class Optimus Prime anywhere on this wiki? My other car is an Autobot. (talk) 15:25, 10 February 2019 (EST)

Presumably because Leader Class Optimus hasn't been officially announced yet. We don't cover leaks here. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:35, 10 February 2019 (EST)

Why?

OK, WHY put Animated Punch and Computron's pages up for deletion when you can just improve them? I mean, I understand why there's no effort, as I made the pages when I was still new to the wiki, but still, why out them up for deletion?--CyclonustheWarrior (talk) 13:23, 11 February 2019 (EST)

A: you made them when you hadn't even read anything about the characters. B: instead of demanding others to do it for you, you should find out for yourself what they did, and then edit it in. Escargon (talk) 13:29, 11 February 2019 (EST)

This is getting frustrating. Look, I'll be more specific when I add pages now.--CyclonustheWarrior (talk) 13:35, 11 February 2019 (EST)

If you are only creating a page to say "this thing exists", don't create the page. If you don't have some actual info to put on there, it is better to leave it as a red link. --Khajidha (talk) 14:20, 11 February 2019 (EST)

IDW categories

There's no "move" tab on categories for me. - Mammalian Verisimilitude (talk) 21:59, 27 March 2019 (EDT) And when I manually enter it, I get:

BotCon Legacy Comic

I saw that you posted part of the 2015 BotCon Legacy comic on the Apelinq page and I was wondering if you had a scan of the full thing? - JDApex (talk) 20:30, 9 April 2019 (EDT)

Hey Are you a Admin?

Hey I'm having some trouble finding the admins, I'm assuming because you make a lot of edits you're one? If not then that's okay. - https://tfwiki.net/wiki/User:Cyclonusawesome

Haha, no I am merely a frequent user. If you would like to speak to active admins, your best bet is honestly to join the TFWiki's Discord server. https://discord.gg/tfwiki S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 04:28, 24 September 2020 (EDT)

Stop splitting every toy section into separate articles. Windcharger, Omega Supreme, Warpath, and the like don't need separate toy pages. Voxel (talk) 18:34, 11 December 2020 (EST)

Jazz G2 Box Art

I've got a good quality image here for Generation 2 Jazz but I don't really want to replace the image that's there already. What do you want me to do with it? Doggus Fightus (talk) 13:18, 17 June 2021 (EDT)

If it depicts the same box art, just do it. What is there not to improve? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 13:50, 17 June 2021 (EDT)

Rubiplas Huffer pic

Hey, why was the white background for the Rubiplas Huffer pic reverted? Is it because of the watermark? Because, I mean, it's already cut off in the pic as is anyways (and also adequately sourced in the image description as usual). (FortressMaxxing (talk) 00:45, 2 May 2025 (EDT))

Since it's been a week and you haven't provided an explanation as to why this was done, I've changed the image back to its white background version. Some explanation would be appreciated in future instances of reverting images. (FortressMaxxing (talk) 09:51, 7 May 2025 (EDT))

Disambiguation pages

Hi, sorry, why are you changing all the disambiguation pages to use Skybound art with no discussion? --Broadside (talk) 16:29, 25 November 2025 (EST)

I'm going to pre-emptively vote against replacing the art with Whatever Is New Now. Getting IDW flashbacks. --M Sipher (talk) 16:32, 25 November 2025 (EST)

That's quite the ironic perspective on making a complaint given I got feedback years ago that "Blurr (disambiguation)" should not use an IDW Blurr image, hence my attempt to fix that gap with a Skybound Blurr image. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 00:56, 4 December 2025 (EST)

For god's sake, STOP IT. If you wantus to adjust our policy, bring it up in the community portal. Consider this a formal warning. --Broadside (talk) 18:28, 1 March 2026 (EST)
