| | Hi Chris, Thanks as always for all the help as I cut my teeth as a new tfwiki contributor rewatching ''Cybertron'' and subbed '' Galaxy Force.'' Regarding your most recent edits in the episode "Homecoming", the whole "something-burger" saying started around 2003-4 which is why I found it super clever for the writers to work it into the script. The two-fold nature of the joke probably makes it my favorite bit of humor in the whole series. Could we please consider leaving the reference as I wrote it?

I just don't think it's supposed to be that clever a joke. ''Crumplezone'' isn't that clever. He doesn't make snappy, three-tiered puns, he's dumb and gets things wrong sometimes, which is what "Sonic Burger" is. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 09:54, 5 December 2017 (EST) |

| |
| ::::Perhaps it was mentioned in passing in one of the radio dramas? If we go that route at least no one could argue that it ''wasn't'' since, shit, ''nobody's'' listened to those things. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 12:22, 30 January 2010 (EST)

I know it’s a weird request and I’m probably just being paranoid, but something about the whole thing feels off. Like, Kampung doesn’t make any edits for 8 months, then Memeuser suddenly tries to start something on their talk page unprovoked, and that just HAPPENS to be when Kampung comes back?

| Thanks for clarifying that only the first 3 waves of FABs were released in Japan and removing the fiction from the proper characters. But I have to ask, if Frenzy was released in Japan as an FAB, why'd you remove the fiction from ''his'' article? Also, should I go ahead and add the FAB/BW crossover fiction to *all* the characters who were released in the Telemocha line? Even...the BWII and Neo characters? Or just the ones on Energoa? --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 20:23, 25 February 2010 (EST)
| | == Sorry. == |
| :Oh, yeah, Frenzy wasn't either. I missed him and then went back. /:) I'm really not sure what to do about the BW characters, though... after all, the II and Neo characters wouldn't have been on Energoa... - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] 20:26, 25 February 2010 (EST)
| |
| ::Ahhh. Gotcha. Thanks. As for the Telemocha dudes, I guess I'll add the info regularly to the Energoa guys, but for the likes of Gimlet, Motorarm and Cohrada, I'll just add something like "They may or may not have been transported back in time to Energoa to fight in the Beast Wars there against invading Autobots and Decepticons from another dimension" or something to that effect. With all the damn Blasty Zone time travel bullshit that goes on in the Japanese timeline, it probably isn't too out of the question that they went there for a second and came back somehow. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] 21:08, 25 February 2010 (EST)

| | Hi, I've recently become an admin over at joepedia (a fandom wiki about G.I. Joe) and have discovered that Starscreamsfan was active over there a few years ago adding voice acting data. Given his known proclivities for *ahem* creative voice identification, I have taken the step to indefinitely block him (even though he hadn't been active recently) but am not sure which of his edits there might be problematic. I would appreciate any info you could give me on known voices for G.I. Joe or any leads you could give me to find someone who could help on this.

As of right now there's exactly one, and it's a redirect of your Sandbox:Transwarp to your former Sandbox:Transformer afterlife. Didn't know if you wanted to keep that redirect around for some arcane reason, or if it just got overlooked, but as it's under your user page I thought I'd mention it in case you didn't realize it was still there. --[[User:Cosmos1|Waverod ✈️]] ([[User talk:Cosmos1|talk]]) 20:10, 23 July 2020 (EDT) |

| This is an original copy from the Pioneer LDC disc. I didn't believe it either until I was watching the recaps earlier tonight. I thought that the recap episode in question was also Masterforce episode 43. But you can tell there is a slight difference in the title and even the whole episode is different from all the other recaps. There is a narrator on this one and through out the whole episode each main characters title appears in large bold Japanese characters every time a new character is introduced. -[[User:Crisdecal|Crisdecal]]

| ==Unsolved anagrams==

| | |
| Just got these reponses from Forster, thought you might need them for the annotations:
| |
| | |
| "I was just looking at the Almanac Annotations, and saw a section labeled "Unsolved Anagrams" with a listing for a "Baron Ye Gult". I was wondering if it was perhaps "Tonya Bulger"
| |
| Updated Answer: I originally answered the question incorrectly. I thought you asked about 'Friar Ilia Tote'. So if anyone read that and was confused, its because I was asleep at the wheel. 'Baron Ye Gult' is my friend Albert Young. Albert is a big sports fan and goes dancing in clubs, but I am his friend anyway.
| |
| | |
| Another anagram: Is "Dankly Woolens" supposed to be "Kendall Swoony"? Sorry if these have been solved and just not posted to the annotations.
| |
| Kelly Woods, my kid sister. I didn't expect people to get all the anagrams. They were mostly just me having fun."

| ::::::It could be done, but not with AWB. That doesn't have the mail-merge type capability - it finds, replaces, deletes and inserts, but only on a global level (i.e., you can create a bunch of redirects from a list, but you can only automate insofar as they all redirect ''to the same page''. Creating fifty redirects that all go to different pages wouldn't be any easier than doing it entirely manually).
| |
| ::::::The admins tend to shoot down any suggestions to systematically add more redirects though (like Khajidha's suggestion to add a redirect for every franchise a character appears in). I don't get why myself - redirects are cheap after all. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 14:30, 8 March 2013 (EST)

| == GOT HACKED!!!! :'( ==
| |
| | |
| Yo, Chris. I noticed that someone changed my password after my last edit on the Ed Flanders page (Which had only 10 characters at that time, 8 cartoon characters, 1 commercial character and possibly the 1984-1985 commercials "Other Guy"). But when I saw my message wall, I freaked out. This was the work of one of those cyberpunks called "Hackers" (which is why I made my new user).
| |
| | |
| While this cocky little s**t was editing fake credits (dunno how he got Milt Jamin right), I was visiting LA to meet Stephen Keener and Ian Flanders (and yeah, that user wasn't Ian). I watched various commercials and Season 3 and 4 episodes with them and I got some new info on the subject. Keener played all the commercial characters I listed in his page, but he actually did play a character in the series and that was Blowpipe, he immediately recognized his lines (although I believed he only spoke once, he jumped out of his chair and said "THAT'S ME!!!" when the Dalek line EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! came up). Flanders recognized the characters that were listed and two more (The Quintesson in The Return of Optimus Prime and the Little Junkion carrying the Journal along with various walla characters in The Big Broadcast of 2006).
| |
| | |
| Although Prima has a Flanders feel to it when I think about it, I definetly have to agree that's Neil Ross (because I can hear a little bit of Springer too). And Prima is Michael Bell.
| |
| | |
| But even then Corey Burton is listed as Primon while Rege Cordic is listed as Prima in the Dossier at The Cybertron Chronicle.
| |
| | |
| Sorry for this little inconvinience, and please, keep my old user page blocked. I don't want this hacker harassing me anymore. He has done a lot of harm already while I was gone visiting two great people.
| |
| | |
| I hope you understand.
| |
| | |
| P.S.: Keener now works at the immobiliary department, but as with a lot of people, he told me to never give his address or phone number to anyone (Man, I didn't think one fan would scare a guy like that!). But he's still a very cool and friendly guy.

| == IDWG1interior/cover templates ==
| |
| | |
| Spent a while figuring this out a while back so I could reuse. If you want to add more series to these, there's three essential sub-templates to edit (plus the documentation):
| |
| #[[Template:IDWG1interior/series]]: Here, you add where the page for the series is (i.e., stuff like [[The Transformers (IDW)]] and [[The Transformers: Megatron Origin]]).
| |
| #[[Template:IDWG1interior/seriesname]]: The subtitle of the series (e.g., All Hail Megatron). This is mostly for autolinking issues without a story title (i.e., pages like [[All Hail Megatron issue 1]]).
| |
| #[[Template:IDWG1interior/category]]: Where the stuff gets categorised. For the IDWG1 stuff, this is ''usually'' the same as /seriesname since all the series are categorised individually, but where there's a clash - e.g., for the [[The Transformers (IDW)|"The Transformers" Costa ongoing]], IDW gets added at the start.
| |
| | |
| ([[Template:IDWliveactionfilmcover/series|There]] [[Template:IDWliveactionfilmcover/seriesname|are]] [[Template:IDWliveactionfilmcover/category|similar]] meta-templates for IDW live-action film stuff, but there's [[Template:IDWliveactionfilmcover/franchise|an additional one for "franchise"]]. Aligned just has [[Template:IDWAligned/series|/series]] and [[Template:IDWAligned/seriesname|/seriesname]]. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] ([[User talk:SanityOrMadness|talk]]) 18:42, 24 April 2014 (EDT)

| == An Inhumanoids query ==
| |
| | |
| Hey, I hate bugging people, but I've googled and come up empty and I recall you being pretty handy with Inhumanoids. I'm going through an Inhumanoids kick, watching it for the first time. In "The Evil That Lies Within, Part 5" there's a character identified only as General who is taken hostage by Backthorne Shore (when he pulls the gun on Sen. Masterson). Thing is, he's a 100% dead ringer for Colonel Sharp from the G.I. Joe cartoon. Like, identical character model. With Hector Ramirez and Ace/Sabre Jet being in the show, I was thinking maybe in a script he was identified as General Sharp (like he got a promotion)? I know the R2 DVDs came with PDFs of the scripts, so if you own those, any chance you could check for me? Kind of a longshot, but it seemed like esoteric knowledge worth archiving/confirming. Take it easy, man. --[[User:DrSpengler|DrSpengler]] ([[User talk:DrSpengler|talk]]) 17:42, 19 December 2014 (EST)

| :Brilliant, enjoy the show! Knowing your love of horror I think you'll definitely get a kick out of it.

| :Woo, Digimon! Sabrblade asked me about this on the AllSpark the other day. It's been like fifteen years so I don't remember so good, but when the show was on the air, I was in weekly contact with Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who helped my site by providing voice actor credits and the proper spelling of some of the dub names (I can specifically remember Koichi's Digimon forms being a point of contention she clarified). I don't, unfortunately, remember if she was the one who provided me with the "Wild Mode" name for Satan Mode that I apparently used in my encyclopedia, but I figure she must have done as I don't think I would have made it up. - [[User:Chris McFeely|Chris McFeely]] ([[User talk:Chris McFeely|talk]]) 12:27, 22 January 2015 (EST)

| ==Ask Vector Prime==
| |
| Should [[Ask Vector Prime]] automatically be the subject header if that's the only fiction? It makes sense for cases where he's talking about wholly new universes we've never seen before. But when he's flitting in and out of existing universes I think that might make it confusing. For almost all Transformers fiction, the heading gives a good indication of the universe. For the few where it doesn't, like TImelines, we don't use Timelines. We use the series the Timelines book is dipping into. See [[Dead End (Animated)]]. On the other hand, you've been here forever and work on Vector Prime, so maybe there's an angle I'm not considering. --[[User:Giggidy|Giggidy]] ([[User talk:Giggidy|talk]]) 10:30, 22 September 2015 (EDT)
