Gonna need to research its appearance on Nicktropolis more, but it DID have a sponsor area that seems to be somewhat substantial? Research might be hard considering the game's very very defunct by now.

Hi!!! I'm ShyAndroid (obvs) :) You can call me Neo, though, if you'd like! Or not, username's fine too. They/them, please.


About Me

[edit]

I like handling stuff that tends to slip through the cracks. Everyone's excited about the next big comic, but those licensed toys that you found at Dollar Tree? That flash game from a decade ago? Rescue Bots mobile games with paywalls no adult fan is paying through just to play a toddler game? (Myself included, mind you, I work with whatever info I can freely scrape up.) It takes effort to know those things exist, let alone to sit down and write an article about them. Transformers has a lot of content and media that appeals to the target demographic, but not the collectors and, well, adults who gather on TfWiki. I like filling those gaps.

I love Googling things. I love combing through eBay listings or the Wayback Machine, seeking scraps of info. And I love flash games. Flash games are a special interest of mine, so I focus on them somewhat, but I really write about whatever niche things catch my eye.

Beyond my focuses in regards to article creation, I like fixing typos, grammar errors, and other general cleanup as I see the opportunities. Really, I just want to make this wiki as high-quality and comprehensive a resource as possible!

While you can't trout me like on Wikipedia, sadly, feel free to discuss on my talk page if I make a mistake! Thank you :)

Articles I'm Working On Creating

[edit]

When I'm in an article-creating mood, I usually have a couple projects kicking around. Some are on my computer alone, but at least one'll be kicking around in my sandbox. I've recently gotten into the habit of properly starting separate sandboxes for the different articles I'm working on, but I do still have an anything-goes sandbox to put my random stuff in. Drop by any of these if you want to see some projects in an obviously unfinished state! Fun :)

The TODO List

[edit]

I have a ton of article ideas and a brain that has trouble maintaining one task at a time. So, the dozens of articles that are still waiting to be written, are here. If you'd like to use this as a prompt list for yourself, be my guest.

Broad Categories

[edit]
  • Articles for all the flash games that still need them--at least those I can still access. RIP Cyber Planet Key Chase. A lot of the ones from the old Hasbro site still need writeups.

  • Check for more food sponsors without dedicated articles. I'm sure they exist.
