==Additions to Design Flaws Page== | |||
Your additions to the [[Design flaw]] page need some serious paring down since they're kind of a disorganized wall of text at the moment. I'd suggest ditching the "Pin Joint" section entirely since you're talking about a random factory error, not a design flaw. Pointing out that current figures are testing grounds for cost-cutting (ie spring-less ratchet joints) has serious merit, though. I figured I'd give you a heads up instead of brutalizing it myself.[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] ([[User talk:MCRG|talk]]) 23:21, 14 October 2023 (EDT) | |||
: I took another pass at it, and tried a different approach to the layout. I've also left it open for other people to add other examples of poorly designed joints that I can't think of off the top of my head. | |||
: I should probably take some pictures of the little broken pieces I have lying around in a baggy somewhere with a comparison of the intact piece, just to help with the visual aspect, especially for the readers who have never taken a toy apart, and can't picture what I've attempted to describe. -- [[User:Fanofcoolstuff27|Fanofcoolstuff27]] ([[User talk:Fanofcoolstuff27|talk]]) 07:51, 15 October 2023 (EDT) | |||
==Check Your Camera Settings== | |||
I've been backtracking through Beast Wars toyline pages and almost all of your pictures are waaaay too bright and the colors are very oversaturated compared to the actual figures. This is especially a case on any figures with yellows, greens, or tans. I'm not reverting these back since they're all more clear than what they replaced, but for future pictures, you really need to check your camera settings, stop using whatever automated tweak you might be doing in Photoshop, or whatever's happening here.[[User:MCRG|MCRG]] ([[User talk:MCRG|talk]]) 20:55, 31 March 2025 (EDT) | |||

Rotorstorm Transformers Tactical Arena
[edit]The information I added was his in game bio. Do we have to put in game bio's in past tense? Bergen08 (talk) 01:23, 7 November 2021 (EST)
