==Captions==
*[[User talk:FFN/Archive1|Archive 1]]
Not to try and start a fight or anything, but who made you the arbiter of what makes a "good" caption or not?  If you don't have a better caption to put there, then do you really need to edit it out?  If you have something better, go ahead and edit it in, but there's was it really necassary to remove all of my changes?

: Because I say so and I am a jerk! *puts on a crown and purple cloak of royalty*. Seriously, that one you quoted was okay, I accidently pruned that one, but I wasn't hot on some of the others. In my opinion, captions should be thought about, and we shouldn't just caption a pic for the sake of having a caption or doing a joke. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 10:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

We should not put information about leaked/stolen/whatever test shots on the wiki.  It's been an unspoken rule since, well, forever, but I guess we need to put it in writing somewhere.  It's just not cool.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 19:08, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

You're kind of missing the point. It's the OFFICIALNESS of the information and the slippery slope of putting in stuff that's not officially announced.

The Bot is ~33% of the way through removing all the wiki links (as well as performing other formatting fixes) on ~25,000 pages. It's made more than 8000 edits already.  That many pages just takes TIME. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 11:43, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

==Formatting==
== Perlin cover ==
It's not all that messy-looking if the main image juts into fiction section some of the time.  I find it's a case-by-case scenario.  [[Miranda II]] looked fine with the jut, but not so much to make it worth editing it back the other way.  It's not a hard and fast rule, is what I guess I'm saying.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:25, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
: The problem is by having the main picture jut into the main text body, you have the text bunched up to one side, and it pushes the edit link into the middle of the screen. Frankly that looks chaotic.
::Not really.  Not on that article, no.  It just looked like text wrapped around an image.  To me, it looked much cleaner the other way.  See how subjective this is? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 16:44, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


:The way I see it, we should use it when the article has relatively few sub-sections (which leads to a smaller Contents menu), or when the main picture is relatively long (like a profile picture of a character). Or when using it doesn't create a huge gap between the introductory text/main pic, the contents menu and the main body of text in the article. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 16:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Why the defensiveness toward Perlin's cover?  I think he did a good job on a lot of the G1 stuff, but you gotta admit, that cover sucks! --[[User:MistaTee|MistaTee]] 17:42, 6 April 2009 (EDT)
::Can't you just... make the image smaller if this is such a problem? I find blank white space to be incredibly hideous,  moreso than a misplaced edit link. [[User:Interrobang|Interrobang]] 17:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
:He's also pretty old now (honestly they should have just asked him to draw Optimus Prime based on how HE remembers drawing it, not IDW Optimus Prime). I'd rather not say anything at all than say something not-nice. Too much bad stuff has already been said elsewhere, so let's not follow the trend. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 17:45, 6 April 2009 (EDT)
:::Depends on the picture itself. Some images deserve to be big, because they look great or because the focus would be hard to see. Misplaced links and pics into text reminds me of late 90s fanpages. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 23:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


== All those toypics  you've uploaded ==
== Homey's User ==


Toypics don't get a hastak tag unless they are offical images (say stock photos). Photos of objects (except scans or photos containing only printed material) are copyright of whoever took the picture. Hasbro holds just as much right to the copyright for a unoffical toypic as say, Sony owns the rights for a picture of my computer. --[[User:FortMax|FortMax]] 03:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey FFN thanks for fixin my user photo. I wasn't sure how to do it.[[User:Homey|Homey]] 12:11, 12 April 2009 (EDT)


:The problem is some of those toy pics are scans out of some official publication, or some official picture that the fansite edited together. So I give copyright to Hasbro, but credit to the site, especially if I cannot find the original official pictures. Sometimes I forget to use fairuse on specifically fan-shot photographs. If it bothers you that much, feel free fix all the picture pages with fairuse.--[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:06, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
== "He's not that car" ==


== anonymous and minor edits ==
He's about as much "that car" as G1 Detour is if i'm not mistaken. If he's not based on the Corvette Indy, what car ''is'' he based on?--[[Special:Contributions/86.87.28.191|86.87.28.191]] 19:05, 6 May 2009 (EDT)
:I don't recall. When this toy first appeared online, there was a thread a TFW where people tried to find out what car it was, and people posted plenty of recent concepts (probably electric or hydrogen cars) that looked more like Scout Dead End than the Chevy car you posted. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 09:33, 7 May 2009 (EDT)
::I remember the thread, but iirc, no car really got close untill the similiarity to Detour was noticed.--[[Special:Contributions/86.87.28.191|86.87.28.191]] 19:09, 10 May 2009 (EDT)

:Odd - maybe its to spur us into suggesting them to register? :P --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 06:55, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


== Safeword debate ==
If it's not too much added work, you can reduce the nag text in the screencap boilerplate by doing <tt><nowiki>{{screencap|source=the [[Transformers (2007)|]] live-action movie|owner=[[Hasbro]] and [[DreamWorks]] LLC.}}</nowiki></tt> --[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 13:28, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
Hi there, [[User:PacifistPrime|PacifistPrime]] here. I appreciate that you think the link to the definition of "safeword" is a little much (although, frankly, I've seen some pretty risque stuff on this wiki anyway), and although I disagree I'm happy for the link to be removed. However, I think it is definitely an overreaction to change the caption; after all I added that specific image solely for the purpose of that joke. Without the link young kids won't get it and won't be "harmed", and those who do get it are alread in the know. However, rather than just unilaterally reverting it (sans link), I thought I'd give you the opportunity to discuss the matter further if you wish. If I don't hear from you back on my talk page in a few days, then I'll change it back.
:Thanks. However, that template needs to be cleaned up - there are two unused ]] brackets floating around there after "This image is a screen capture from the Transformers live-action movie". --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 13:32, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
Cheers, [[User:PacifistPrime|PacifistPrime]]
:Oh wait, saw the problem. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 13:39, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
:: Yeah, you're probably right about that; if it goes over their heads, let it. I'll change it back without the link. Cheers, [[User:PacifistPrime|PacifistPrime]].
::Oh, yeah. My bad. Fixed. I goofed since I didn't preview it before slapping it in nowiki tags.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 13:50, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
:::FFN, you mentioned that you changed the caption back to the clean joke because nobody refuted your point... The thing is, I haven't been able to find where you made your argument for its change in the first place.  Not on Starscream's talk page, and not here... How can we refute your point if no one knows where it is? That being said, I personally agree with Pacifist Prime.  It's no more offensive or risque than some of the other stuff on here (i.e. [[Transformers Collectors' Club]] or anything relating to [[Kiss Players]]), and without the link it's no longer harmful in the slightest.  Besides, the new caption is pretty lame and practically screams, "I couldn't think of anything better than this." - [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] 06:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Wouldn't it be easier to maek a {{tl|Moviecap}} template in the vein of {{tl|G1cap}}, {{tl|TFAcap}}, etc? - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 13:56, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
::::I was referring to my discussion with Walky over MP Starscream's incorrect F-15E colours, and I sorta reverted Walky's edit back to the original with modifications (with hooperx's Titanium 3" caption) to my original MP Starscream paragraph, with added notes about Starscream's other glaring inaccuracies. That's what I meant by 'nobody refuted my point'.
::::Yes it would. Though we would need two sets of movie verse cap templates, one for Transformers (2007) and one for ROTF. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 13:59, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
:::: At no point did I change the safeword caption, given that Pacifist Prime and I already resolved that, like, weeks ago, and I advised that to make the joke work, he didn't need to link the meaning for people, because '''A.''' The link to the meaning is abit inappropriate given our wiki's topic, and '''B.''' Its hitting people over the head with the joke. If the joke flies over people's heads, let it.
:::::{{tl|Moviecap}} (for the 2007 movie) is [provisionally] done. It feeds into [[:Category:Movie screen captures]] (for consistency with other screencap categories; so as to allow it to be a subcat of both Cat:Movie images and Cat:Screen captures; and to avoid flooding Cat:Movie images in the first place), and the only parameter it takes is the image description (so, <nowiki>{{Moviecap|DESCRIPTION}}</nowiki>. - [[User:SanityOrMadness|SanityOrMadness]] 14:16, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
::::If you had checked the article history, or the Recent changes page, you'll see an anonymous user made the change to the caption. In any case, it wasn't me. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 09:57, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::Ah, see, I saw your comment in the history that said something about reverting to a previous caption because no one refuted your point, and assumed this was what you were referring to. My apologies. - [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] 20:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
:::::: No worries. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 22:52, 22 April 2007 (UTC)


== MP Megs importation to Australia. ==
== Jokey Comment ==
Well, what can I say? I got mine (two of them, in fact: one for my buddy) from HobbyLinkJapan (scum) with no troubles. Customs didn't even open it. Maybe I was just lucky, but I suspect that those toyshops only got that response from the fuzz because they asked in the first place. In fact, they may very well have tipped them off and made it harder for everyone else to import them now. Who knows? Cheers, [[User:PacifistPrime|PacifistPrime]].
I actually hadn't intended that to sound too off the wall. The jokey comment was actually in reference to the actor really getting hit in the temple when a prop gun hit him by accident, as revealed by Bay in the commentary. But eh, no biggie. It's all good. --[[User:Mighty Megatron|Mighty Megatron]] 11:53, 20 May 2009 (EDT)
: Um, hi. This is actually somewhat old news, as I haven't checked in for a week or so, but I respectfully suggest that you're overracting just a whisker. I was unaware that there had been further developments for other Australian fans importing the MP-05; as I've stated elsewhere I don't spend any time on discussion boards so I wouldn't know about any of that. If my original few lines on the subject (admittedly based solely on my personal experience of problem-free importation) is no longer representative of the majority, then I have no objection whatsoever to the text being revised.
:Yeah, I was aware of that. If you really want it in the article, you can put it back, though. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 11:55, 20 May 2009 (EDT)
: However, I think that your edit is a bit of an overlong rave and (at the risk of sounding more Seppocentric than is my wont) I have to say that I don't think Australia's situation really requires as much text as that concerning the States'. Furthermore, I think that your rebuttal "Eat '''that''', Australia" is particularly uneccessary. First of all it sounds like a rather mean-spirited bit of one-upmanship over a comment which, although I'll conceed ''was'' smug, was only meant in the kind of good humour that this site broadly embraces (such as its pervasive mockery of Japanese fiction). Your comment sounds quite barbed by comparison, in my opinion. But regardless of any issues of opinion it frankly doesn't make sense, because it is referring to a previous edit which no longer exists in the current text, so to any newcomer reading it the comment has no context. For this reason most of all I have taken it upon myself to remove that one line, but I have left your preceding paragraph untouched. However I urge you to reconsider its neccessity and respectfully suggest that you cut it down considerably.
::Nah, it's cool. In retrospect it's not of any major importance.--[[User:Mighty Megatron|Mighty Megatron]] 11:58, 20 May 2009 (EDT)
: All the best, [[User:PacifistPrime|PacifistPrime]].

::allright, i always forgive ppl--[[User:Eagc7|Eagc7]]


:::Err... okay. I respectfully suggest that you're missing the point: I'm not offended, nor am I particularly patriotic. In fact, I'm a dual Austalian/American citizen, so your comments regarding my national identity are actually fairly irrelevant. And uncalled for. Don't you think personal remarks on this site are a bit untoward?
== Egypt / Jordan ==
:::I just think that your edit gives the impression of being a bit personal, as though you were miffed about my original text, rather than containing material of particular relevance to other readers/users, especially your sardonic rebuttal. Again, my original crack was intended in good humour, so it seems that it is you who are the one getting offended. Perhaps this is not the case, and if so I apologise.
:::But regardless of that I still maintain that the content makes little sense. Please re-read my previous post for my reasons for this.

Jetfire takes them to Wadi Rum, in Jordan, but does the dialogue say they've landed in Egypt? Maybe the character who says so is wrong, because they have to pass the Egyptian border don't they?

==What gives you the right...==
...to basically force your own over the top biases down my throat? Or to talk like that to me? On the latter, nothing on this or any other planet. On the former, not much. You get so incredibly over the top and preachy with anything by McCarthy, it's past the point where it's funny and now you're just acting like a spoiled child about the whole thing. You don't like him, we get it. Does that mean every article about something he contributed to has to have some piece line that ALWAYS translates into "Ha ha, you suck Shane". I would say grow up, but you're hardly going to pay one ounce of attention to someone else. And yes, I realise the irony of me talking to you like this after telling you to not talk to me like that.


:They're all from the trailers and tv spots (highres, low res ect). For instance, the pic of Figueroa reacting to Sgt. Donnelly is from 'Vibration', released around May 22nd. Prime transforming in Mission City and the pics of Bumblebee standing around are from 'Freakout' (June 15). Prime jumping on/towards Megatron, Ironhide transforming and shooting his cannons in a somersault are from the Superherohype exclusive trailer that was also played during an NBA playoff or something on June 24. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 02:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

:I felt my stupid joke added to the tone of the article (the jokes of which other people wrote), and to my recollection, despite my saber-rattling across the internet about AHM, I am generally more reserved about this on the wiki nowadays compared to some of our other regular contributors, and in any case, it doesn't seem like people mind what I do this wiki. Also, last I checked, almost none of the regular contributors liked Drift when he was revealed, and from the comments I've seen on forums regarding Spotlight: Drift, people like him even less now, so it's hardly my own solitary personal bias. Now, I don't mind if somebody disagreed with me in a constructive way about this, but you called me an arse while reverting it, and I simply could not let that pass. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 12:05, 17 July 2009 (EDT)

::The point of the one-liner summary line is to summarize the actual story. "Adding a new character is often a desperate attempt to boost low ratings." is not a summary of the story, it's a summary of our real world contempt for Drift.
::I don't like AHM or Drift either, but those sentiments belong on the talk pages and outside forums, not on the articles, which should at the very least not obscure useful information. How is our non-canon bitching about AHM or Drift useful to a reader looking for information?

Well, the official pictures of the toy wont come out for a LOOOOONG time, so untill then, I'm uploading some bad, blurry ones, because they STILL better than nothing. Tried to give a long description of Lockdown, but somebody just deleted it easly. Also, almost all pictures at the animated ones are blurry and in weird angles, so not mines are the first. And I made them with Paint, not Powerpoint.
::::::I agree with Jeysie here. The "adding a new character" line tells us nothing about the story at all. Snark-wise, that ground is more than adequately covered by the hilarious Poochie captions. -- [[User:Repowers|Repowers]] 14:09, 17 July 2009 (EDT)


:That still doesn't mean we just dump any pics onto this wiki. The series and the toyline won't be out for a long time, so no real reason to have a bunch of pictures now, given there is relatively little information about the series itself.
==Problem==
The PROBLEM I was speaking of was leaving the goddamn "coming soon" template there.  That is not fixing the problem.  The toy is OUT.  OUT.

==Broad Statement, no evidence==
Mike Costa has for th most part set up a standard, fairly non-continuity specific story and Don Figuera has said the art style shift is based on his own desire to do something different(after years of drawing things the same way) and should not be taken as reflecting how Mike Costa will be writing the series. Headover the the IDW forum and check out the threads referring to the art style we saw in AHM 13. I'd change the article to something more accurate but I know what would happen. I'm just going to point out it's simply a large amount of assumption/wishful thinking/stick it to McCarthy on your part. Keep the article as you changed it. Side note: This point would have worked better on issue 13, as the art style there IS movie inspired and it definitely will be impacting on the Ongoing Mission [[User:Eire]] 14.21 Oct 17 09 (UTC)

More reasons why to create it.

* Season 1 opening credits -- maybe Prime & co while they're on that giant flying Autobot symbol, and/or the TF logo flying at the viewer.
* I'd like to see a higher-quality cap of the standard view of Cybertron.  That's a shot which deserves a high-res view, IMO.

:I'll see what I can do. I only picked up Madman's set on sunday, and I'm currently working through the G1 episodes chronologically, or characters who really needed cartoon image representation.
== Golden Ninja Warrior ==


:I'm not sure about the Season 1 opening credits - by the time we see Prime and co, they are either too indistinct to make out in a wide view, and the camera is already focusing entirely on Prime when they are clear enough for the viewer to see. I'll see what I can do, but I'll have to go through the episodes because the Madman sets use the broadcast masters, so some episodes are almost as clean and colourful as Rhino's, but others aren't so good. So this means trawling through episodes to find good, clean images of more generic shots like the intro or often-seen sequences such as the spacebridge. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 22:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

==Image Editing==
== Exodus ==
A while back, you brought up the grid-backgrounds on the CG Galaxy Force character images. Those are probably simple enough (since they're on a white BG already) that it won't take me a lot of time to do them, but in general I don't know what Photoshop trickier goes into quickly cleaning images... I usually just use the Eraser tool, which, with my tendency to be distracted, can wind up taking several hours. Is there some easier way to get a white background?

:Depending on the quality of the image (lack of jpeg artefacts and the resolution), how busy the background image is and if the background somehow intersects with the image you want to preserve or not, one of the easiest ways I've found is to simply use the magic wand to cut out the background elements. In the end, I also the eraser, and yeah, it take a bloody long time. Does Walky know? I would assume he's more skilled with Photoshop than I.

==Image formats==
[[User talk:Sntint|Actually]], what should it read?  My knowledge of image format differences is limited; the impression I'm getting from Wikipedia is that a high-quality JPEG might still display legible text and have a smaller filesize than a PNG.  Is this mistaken? --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 16:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
:Generally speaking, we try to keep image files under 150KB, which I believe is the recommended maximum size the software on this wiki suggests, mostly in the interests of of saving server space and to reduce download times. At the lower end, PNG files tend to be several times larger in filesize than comparable jpegs of reasonable quality, yet aren't considerably more visually impressive. So, say, a screen shot at 640x480 jpeg may average 70-80KB, a PNG might be 200KB or more.
:However, we do allow the use of either high quality jpegs or PNGs when the file requires it, like the chart I mentioned. But for the sheer majority of images on the wiki, average quality jpegs suit us fine. I probably upload more pics than anybody else on the wiki, so I vaugley know what I'm talking about. ;) --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 17:01, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
::Erm.  I don't mean to imply you ''don't'' know what you're talking about; if I thought you didn't I wouldn't be asking you. :)
::But I don't see how that answers my question.  Could a JPG's quality be increased such that a chart would be sufficiently legible, and also still have a smaller filesize than a PNG? --[[User:Sntint|Sntint]] 17:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
:::I was joking. [[Sparkplug Witwicky|I'm a mechanic. I know what I'm doing!]]
:::In answer to your question, it's possible. One problem with jpegs is they tend degrade in quality with each subsequent save you make to the single file. As I understand it, PNG files don't degrade to such an extent. Walky might know more about pngs than I do. --[[User:FFN|FFN]] 17:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

:Somebody put the names in the wrong order in the Featured characters character box, and I got rid of the wiki-linked names in the summaries - if they're going to appear in the character box later (once somebody gets around to it), it's redundant to have them in the summary.

I think character names should absolutely still be wiki-linked in the summary, even if they're going to be linked again later in the character box. It's standard practice to link the first occurrence of anything linkable, so that when someone is reading an article and comes across an unfamiliar item, they can click right on over and learn about it right then and there. Even if it is redundant with later links down in the character box, we really should stick to the "first occurrence gets linked" policy anyway. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 05:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

== Questions about Sky Lynx ==
 
Hi! Sorry if this gets a little off topic, but I have a few questions I want to ask you about Sky Lynx.
 
1) I have read that in "The Return of Optimus Prime", when assisting in the battle between the two Autobot leaders, Sky Lynx became infected by Rodimus and flew off into space. But, Optimus did defeat the crazed Rodimus and retook the Autobot Matrix of Leadership and then cured the plague and saved the universe. But after that, Sky Lynx was not shown revived nor did he return ever again in later seasons. Is it implied that he survived as well?
 
2) Are there any other seasons (besides 3), comics, video games, etc. that feature Sky Lynx? If so, can you name some?
 
3) Do you know if Sky Lynx will be featured in future Transformer-related media?
 
I hope to hear from you soon! --[[User:Sky Lynx|Sky Lynx]] 23:01, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 
:1) He never really appeared again the American cartoon continuity to my knowledge. Just like all those other characters who have dissapeared into oblivion during Season 3.
 
:2) He possibly appeared in [[Transformers (Atlus)|that horrible Japanese G1 game]].
 
:3) I have no idea. He's kind of goofy by today's standards.

Did I forget tho erase that stuff?
Cos I had a closer look at him and noticed that they just share the alt, have similar legs and almost the same chest, just that Soundwave's is upside down. I wanted to remove that link, Stockate on the other hand, shares the same alt-mode, so I thought that would count, I mean it's even shaped the just like Soundwave's.

Weirdo

[edit]

To The Articleabout Optimus Prime I had copied it into a word document and I must check the images that they work It is not fromWikia!!! MasterX244 08:30, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

Huh?

[edit]
You can link to an image without actually displaying an image by placing a colon (:) just before Image.

Uh... I know this...

Oh, and to fix the synopsis, look for places where sentences are connected to other sentences without a space after the full stop. That means a new paragraph line was cut out during the import

Wait, what page is being referred to here, exactly? I don't have a clue what merited this - SanityOrMadness 19:45, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

Oh...

[edit]

Okay, I've looked through your contribs and I think I know what's being referred to.

You dialled the wrong number :). You want User talk:Starfield, not my talk page. - SanityOrMadness 19:49, 23 March 2009 (EDT)

Why the defensiveness toward Perlin's cover? I think he did a good job on a lot of the G1 stuff, but you gotta admit, that cover sucks! --MistaTee 17:42, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

He's also pretty old now (honestly they should have just asked him to draw Optimus Prime based on how HE remembers drawing it, not IDW Optimus Prime).

"He's not that car"

He's about as much "that car" as G1 Detour is if i'm not mistaken. If he's not based on the Corvette Indy, what car is he based on?--86.87.28.191 19:05, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

I don't recall. When this toy first appeared online, there was a thread a TFW where people tried to find out what car it was, and people posted plenty of recent concepts (probably electric or hydrogen cars) that looked more like Scout Dead End than the Chevy car you posted. --FFN 09:33, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

Hey, since you're going through the movie screencaps

Wouldn't it be easier to maek a {{Moviecap}} template in the vein of {{G1cap}}, {{TFAcap}}, etc? - SanityOrMadness 13:56, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
Yes it would. Though we would need two sets of movie verse cap templates, one for Transformers (2007) and one for ROTF. --FFN 13:59, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
{{Moviecap}} (for the 2007 movie) is [provisionally] done. It feeds into Category:Movie screen captures (for consistency with other screencap categories; so as to allow it to be a subcat of both Cat:Movie images and Cat:Screen captures; and to avoid flooding Cat:Movie images in the first place), and the only parameter it takes is the image description (so, {{Moviecap|DESCRIPTION}}. - SanityOrMadness 14:16, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

Jokey Comment

I actually hadn't intended that to sound too off the wall.

Egypt / Jordan

[edit]

Jetfire takes them to Wadi Rum, in Jordan, but does the dialogue say they've landed in Egypt? Maybe the character who says so is wrong, because they have to pass the Egyptian border don't they? Wouldn't be the first time the Movieverse's Earth differs from the real one... Alientraveller 17:12, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, the dialogue says it's Egypt. Because they start in Egypt after Jetfire leaves, then they have to go through the Egyptian/Jordan border (which doesn't exist) to get to Petra. Sam got the idea to go to Petra at night under the pyramids, remember? After getting the Matrix, they go to Egypt. --FFN 17:18, 2 July 2009 (EDT)
Ah thanks, I remembered it as them getting across the border to Egypt, working out the clue at the pyramids, and journeying back and forth from Petra to Giza. Dunno why lol, I suppose overall I found the NEST story easier to follow. Alientraveller 17:45, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

--FFN 01:10, 10 July 2009 (EDT)

What gives you the right...

[edit]

...to basically force your own over the top biases down my throat? Or to talk like that to me? On the latter, nothing on this or any other planet. On the former, not much. You get so incredibly over the top and preachy with anything by McCarthy, it's past the point where it's funny and now you're just acting like a spoiled child about the whole thing. You don't like him, we get it. Does that mean every article about something he contributed to has to have some piece line that ALWAYS translates into "Ha ha, you suck Shane". I would say grow up, but you're hardly going to pay one ounce of attention to someone else. And yes, I realise the irony of me talking to you like this after telling you to not talk to me like that.

Oh, I know. I do that because you're not right 100 percent of the time!User:Eire 13.22 July 17 2009 (UTC)

I felt my stupid joke added to the tone of the article (the jokes of which other people wrote), and to my recollection, despite my saber-rattling across the internet about AHM, I am generally more reserved about this on the wiki nowadays compared to some of our other regular contributors, and in any case, it doesn't seem like people mind what I do this wiki. Also, last I checked, almost none of the regular contributors liked Drift when he was revealed, and from the comments I've seen on forums regarding Spotlight: Drift, people like him even less now, so it's hardly my own solitary personal bias. Now, I don't mind if somebody disagreed with me in a constructive way about this, but you called me an arse while reverting it, and I simply could not let that pass. --FFN 12:05, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
*cue constructive disagreeing*
The point of the one-liner summary line is to summarize the actual story. "Adding a new character is often a desperate attempt to boost low ratings." is not a summary of the story, it's a summary of our real world contempt for Drift.
I don't like AHM or Drift either, but those sentiments belong on the talk pages and outside forums, not on the articles, which should at the very least not obscure useful information. How is our non-canon bitching about AHM or Drift useful to a reader looking for information? Let them read the canon info about the subject and make up their own mind whether they like either or not. --Jeysie 12:39, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
Back some unknown time ago, Walky let me bitch about Megatron: Origin in the issue summaries heading things, though, admittedly, I very vaguely kept it on-topic. --FFN 12:48, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
Key word being "on-topic", pretty much. I personally don't have any problem with snark so long as it's not replacing, misrepresenting, or otherwise obfuscating the information being conveyed. --Jeysie 12:54, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
I still think I had a point that goes well with the other jokes - IDW comic sales were tanking, hence AHM being a "shakeup", hence the Poochie-like Drift character that relatively few people like. A new character added in a desperate attempt to boost low sales. --FFN 13:03, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
Probably, but that still doesn't have anything to do with what the story itself is about. *shrug* --Jeysie 13:20, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
I agree with Jeysie here. The "adding a new character" line tells us nothing about the story at all. Snark-wise, that ground is more than adequately covered by the hilarious Poochie captions. -- Repowers 14:09, 17 July 2009 (EDT)

Problem

[edit]

The PROBLEM I was speaking of was leaving the goddamn "coming soon" template there. That is not fixing the problem. The toy is OUT. OUT. The toy is OUT. Reverting a blank spot with a piece of erroneous information is NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM IT IS INCREASING PROBLEMS. --ItsWalky 11:47, 20 July 2009 (EDT)

Which is why I put a question at the end, since the comingsoon tag was removed by an anonymous user, but usually it's removed by one of you when you consider the figure to be in sufficient saturation in the United States to be reasonably considered out so our readership can go look for them or whatever. I didn't know if it was considered to be such yet. --FFN 01:21, 21 July 2009 (EDT)

Broad Statement, no evidence

[edit]

Mike Costa has for th most part set up a standard, fairly non-continuity specific story and Don Figuera has said the art style shift is based on his own desire to do something different(after years of drawing things the same way) and should not be taken as reflecting how Mike Costa will be writing the series. Headover the the IDW forum and check out the threads referring to the art style we saw in AHM 13. I'd change the article to something more accurate but I know what would happen. I'm just going to point out it's simply a large amount of assumption/wishful thinking/stick it to McCarthy on your part. Keep the article as you changed it. Side note: This point would have worked better on issue 13, as the art style there IS movie inspired and it definitely will be impacting on the Ongoing Mission User:Eire 14.21 Oct 17 09 (UTC)

Well, I'm basing this partly on [actually, probably best not to say where], and Walky didn't seem to object when he edited the article after me. But granted, it is my opinion, removed. --FFN 13:41, 17 October 2009 (EDT)

I don't think they have to be removed entirely, do they? Just moved to Notes like what Detour did on Rack 'n Ruin's page. --Jeysie 00:14, 20 June 2010 (EDT)
Yeah, notes are fine, so long as they're not inserted unexplained into the fiction section. --ItsWalky 00:22, 20 June 2010 (EDT)
Done. --FFN 00:53, 20 June 2010 (EDT)

Hey.

[edit]

Thanks for the advice dude! I'll try not to write so much! :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheRex4441 (talk • contribs). 00:51, 25 June 2010 (EDT)

Answer back on your own talk page next time. --Lonegamer78 00:58, 25 June 2010 (EDT)

Golden Ninja Warrior

[edit]

Thanks for deleting that part for me, as a beginner in this sort of things I wasn't sure if it was okay to correct the spelling error or delete that bit of trivia altogether. I went with the former, but you had already deleted that part by the time I had pressed the Save changes button. I owe you one, thanks a lot.ACIDSTORM92 04:37, 27 June 2010 (EDT)

No worries :) --FFN 04:39, 27 June 2010 (EDT)

I understand. :)

[edit]

Thanks for telling me about the tag. I remembered before you posted on my talk page, but thanks for the friendly reminder. --Kaymac192 22:16, 28 June 2010 (EDT)

Exodus

[edit]

Heya FFN, I haven't actually read Exodus yet lol! Pretty hard to find in the UK. Just doing my bit from the Wiki summary. I have watched the campaigns on YouTube though. Alientraveller 07:14, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

War for Cybertron Megatron

[edit]

Dude, you can always ask me to try to separate the "big block of text" and add scenes from the game instead of COMPLETELY SCRAPPING THE WHOLE PART OF THE ARTICLE. Shackwave123 09:58, 11 July 2010 (EDT)

The thing is that it should've been done so in the first place while you were writing it up. --Lonegamer78 23:57, 11 July 2010 (EDT)
Additionally problems - style doesn't fit the other WFC/Prime character write ups, and is in the wrong tense. Quality of articles before quantity of articles. --FFN 04:02, 12 July 2010 (EDT)

Darkray caption

[edit]

I´ll remove the damn it part, but at least, tell me a good reason why my joke didn´t make any sense to you. ACIDSTORM92 20:46, 29 July 2010 (EDT)

It is my understanding that if there's an image that the uploader has chosen not to caption, then whomever does the caption (usually) has to contribute in some way to the article, unless they're one of the group of regular editors who have written about 95% of the this wiki's content. Besides, the caption doesn't seem to make a logical connection given Darkray and Darkrai aren't spelled the same and, assuming one uses english approximation of Japanese, the "rai" bit is pronounced as "rye", not "ray". --FFN 05:15, 30 July 2010 (EDT)
If that's the case, I´ll do my best to contribute to this wiki, just add a funny caption to that article when you feel like it. Oh, and search Darkray in Google images, you´ll be up for a surprise.--ACIDSTORM92 11:50, 30 July 2010 (EDT)
You can restore the caption if you like. --FFN 14:02, 30 July 2010 (EDT)

Categorizing images by toy size class

[edit]

FFN, there's a discussion over on the community portal about whether we categorize toy images by size class, with two votes for "we don't do that" so far (counting me). Given that you just put two images into such a category, you might want to weigh in. JW 20:49, 15 February 2011 (EST)

Thanks for the heads up. --FFN 05:53, 16 February 2011 (EST)

Diver GoBox

[edit]

Out of curiosity, why did you remove the entry for Diver from the GoBox template? --Tigerpaw28 01:53, 6 March 2011 (EST)

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest it's because Diver (BW) is mostly a stub. --abates 02:20, 6 March 2011 (EST)
Yeah, I talked to Scout about it, and she was the one who linked me to the page with the gobox templates. Back when goboxes were a fad, people were making goboxes for just about anything. The problem with that was quite a few of these goboxes linked to articles that had very little content. Coupled with the fact we were encouraging people to have "a gobox of your own!" on their forum sigs and websites, it's kind of embarrassing to say "Hey, did you know about [this character]?" only to lead them to a page of stub templates, which suggests questionable priorities. --FFN 11:08, 6 March 2011 (EST)
Ah, ok. I thought it might be something along those lines. But Diver did seem to have at least some substance to it, so I wasn't totally sure it was because of the missing info. Now I know. --Tigerpaw28 13:28, 6 March 2011 (EST)
Diver's article mostly covers his comic appearance and his toy. I'd say missing the two cartoon sections is a pretty substantial omission (not saying we should rush out and do it, just saying it's not an article worth advertising). --FFN 04:30, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Thought you guys should know

Sentinel Toruch

[edit]

According to issue 3 of Foundation Sentinel created a tourch (which is a Glwoing Light actually) for end the war but for make it work it Needed to make contact with the cube

You mean a torch? --FFN 03:09, 18 May 2011 (EDT)
yes

About the DOTM toyline/Leadfoot thing.

[edit]

I reverted the edit because it simply removed a listing without a full explanation. I thought I was reverting vandalism. I did not notice that the listing had been placed in the Target exclusive section by a previous edit. I apologize, I probably should have looked at the entire page. I also thank you for catching my error. --Khajidha 08:45, 10 June 2011 (EDT)

Hey, that's cool :) For some reason the page saved before I could finish typing the summary :P --FFN 23:29, 10 June 2011 (EDT)
