--I'm deeply sorry
Something I Noticed
I see that when new users come in - I did this too - one of the first things they start to do is edit out the silly captions and some of the humor from the Wiki. This is mostly stemming from the transition from Wikipedia and other Wikis to Teletraan-1, since most others have strict no-humor. Is there a way to put up some sort of banner in the "Help Contents" guide, that explains, look, we're silly here sometimes?
And, um, that guy below is just funny as hell. Mirai Gen 19:36, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Things to say to you
Just some thing I've been wanting to say to David...
First off, you're a monumental asshole. You have an ego the size of a small planet and it's irritating watching you act like an important SOB when you're basically just a nobody.
Second, your webcomics aren't funny. They're boring tripe that makes Penny Arcade look good(and believe me, Penny Arcade is garbage). Cyanide and Happiness is a funny webcomic, yours is not. Your "jokes" are painful, about like watching Michael Richards yell the n-word as a routine. You don't draw a comic, you draw an opinionated blog. I'm not sure which name suits your crap better, "ShitPacked" or "ShortDicked".
Your liberalism and your love of Indiana get on my nerves. You jab at Mallard Filmore? Yeah, one shitty comic making fun of another shitty comic. Or are you just pissed that his gets in newspapers while you're JUST a webcomic? As to Indiana, I live here, and if it were up to me, the state would be walled off and none of the freaks living there allowed to interact with the rest of the planet. The state is about 3 decades behind the times. But something tells me even you know this otherwise you'd still live here. I sure as hell do not live here by choice and as soon as I can, I'm moving far away from this joke of a state.
And your brand loyalty is typical fandom crap. You have Aaron Archer's rod so far down your throat it's unreal. And Aryan fucktard Michael Bay's rod has apparently joined it. I'd say soemthing abotu Don Murphy but he was born without one. Actually, I can say something- he's Kevin "unfunny asshole" Smith with more body fat. Hasbro didn't give the film to a competent director, just a cheap one. And neither Speilberg or ILM have done anything useful in years. Give WETA, or even Tom Savini a chance and we wouldn't be getting Bionicle bots. You're afraid to not like a Hasbro product. No wonder they don't have to go out of the way to please the "fans"- you'll accept it no matter what. But hey, you personally have been sucking off incompetent British bonehead Simon Furman and his shitty stories for years. There are no gods in Transformers. Unicron was built by a monkey, little man. Furman is dog shit.
And go figure this TF wiki is a joke full of misinformation, insults or outright lies- you're a mod here. You're never right. You're more of an incorrect pompous jerkoff than Defunct is. Right, ban me from editing, as if it would somehow matter, any info you don't agree with is pulled. You only have friends because people feel sorry for you. Me, I have no need. People are a commodity to be used and their wants only get in the way of what I'm out for. Use them and drop them.
Who am I? Go look who added a note about you on Encyclopedia Dramatica's Allspark page if you're not too lazy. As well as past AS, Kalidor, FIRRIB and Hooks entries(the hooks entry especially true). Oh, and just info on white people in general and that idiotic Nintendo Wii. I'm not making it that easy for you.
- Is it my birthday? This stuff feeds me. --ItsWalky 02:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Duuuuude. Walky may be a dick, but I still like him for some inexplicable reason. You, on the other hand, are just one sore drama queen.--Nevermore 17:14, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- This is some of the most funny stuff I've seen in a while. Comedy PLATINUM. --M Sipher 02:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Bwa ha ha ha ha. Priceless. I think someone needs to get off the internets for a few minutes. Chip 02:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

- I wish lame puns happened to me. Interrobang 20:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I thought it was vandalism
Just that I read the article and thought it was vandalism from the way it was written. So I accidently reverted it to the old one, which had more of something that seemed like vanderism. Then I realize I am not in wikipeida, but in Transformers wiki. I clicked on a link from Tformers.com and since the two sites look so damn similar, yeah......That explains the humor and why I had to make an account here. Sorry, but I am wishy washy at the moment since I have a term paper due soon and haven't gotten any sleep. Sorry. LOL--Doomzaber 03:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Just kind of curious
Is there a limit to your knowledge of Transformers lore, or is it as infinite as the cosmos?
Because damn, do you know a lot.
You are now an Admin
Hello ItsWalky, I've made you and Suki Brits admins for this wiki. Thanks for offering to help out! Let me know if there is anything you need help with or can't do. Please see Wikicities:Help:Administrators' how-to guide for the basics, and let me know if you want more admins added - you two will be fine for now, but more may be needed in time. Thanks again -- sannse (talk) 12:55, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

...RUN, HE'S GONE MAD WITH POWER!
I know Bodycount was being antagonistic about his changes (not just on the Nemesis Prime entry), but I think blocking him for 2 weeks may have been excessive. We should try to settle editorial conflicts through compromise, like they do at Wikipedia, by rewriting the article to express both points of view and the reasoning behind those views. On the other hand, I
have no idea who he is, aside from a vague feeling that he's an Allsparker. You may be more familiar with his habits than I. Maybe he's likely to just be disruptive. But from what I have seen just here at this site, I think the block was premature. --Steve-o 17:42, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
MAD WITH POWER!
I Knew BC at Tfans, he was a bit antaganistic to the rabid GeeWuners, but he's a great kitbasher. X-BoB58 05:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Bodycount's been banned repeatedly from the Allspark, and from several other boards, as well. He's a textbook troll, and we're better off without him. - RolonBolon 05:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
There's an issue with the "Recent Changes" page
Up at the top of the "recent changes" page where it says "below are the last X chaned in the last Y days as of DATE", for some reason the "DATE" says "$3". --FortMax 14:51, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Pssy, Walky! You need a http:// on the botcon link on your blog. -Derik 03:22, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
The Agenda: Part 1
- Hahaha, the guy whose fault it is I'm here was right behind me, messing with my first edits. How's that for irony? :)

Episode Template Comments
Hi ItsWalky. Thanks loads for your feedback. Sorry about the date thing. As for the loss of data between the two templates, reordering each of the groups for order of appearance shouldn't be too difficult, just means watching the episode carefully again (unfortunately, when I did the lists of characters for my own TF site, I didn't consider having them in order of appearance and thus alphabetized them right away). With regards to the difference between major and minor characters, I'm not sure I would quite know where to draw the line on who's what in every TF episode. To me, it would seem to depend if the character was regular, is he major or minor for the whole series, season, or just the episode, or if the character was a guest, I could see it likely being just the episode. Perhaps if I knew what guidline Teletraan-1 was using to determine Major/Minor status, I could think of a way to incorporate it into my template. Thanks again for your feedback. Telet093 00:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello again. Just to let you know I've incorporated order of appearance into my test template if you wanted to check it out: User:Telet093/The Master Builder. Telet093 23:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Cartoon
Hi - sorry for the home page edit, I was trying to figure out if I added the word "cartoon" at the top of the page, would google figure out that your site is not about power control and liquid transformers :-) Gil
- Google's not gonna figger it out, no, not until they distinguish between the two in their databases. Believe me, every TF site with google ads has the same problem. --ItsWalky 06:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
A Question on Mini-Con Entries
As I'm hitting the "random page" button, I seem to come up with a Mini-Con page for this or that Mini-Con most of the time. Is there any reason every Mini-Con has its own page? Could they be consolidated on to their respective team pages? This may be a community issue, but I figured an editor the best place to start.--MCRG 08:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- All the ones in Armada and Cybertron, at least, have their own bios and personalities, so that should be enough for a page. I think, in principle, every toyed character should have its own page, whether it be a Nebulan, Mini-Con, Deployer, or what have you. I tend to only use the "Related characters" subsection for fiction-only humans and the like. --ItsWalky 15:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Question Time Again
Would it be possible to consolidate the pages such as quartex and cycle and whatever else is floating about into just a single "Cybertronian Units of Time" page of some sort? I had no idea a "quartex" existed until I randomly hit the Conductors page, for instance, but having them all in one place might be helpful, or possibly to rename the page into "Measurements of time" and split off Megamile?--MCRG 05:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see why we can't have both. --ItsWalky 03:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Alot of images seem to be missing
many of the images have dissipered, such as the ones on neon. the image files themselves cive a "can't find on server" error. any idea WTF is up? --FortMax 16:42, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- Probably just a temporary glitch. Wikia has a lot of them. --ItsWalky 16:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Sources
How does one go about making reference to a patent and a catalog in a footnote on here?--MCRG 18:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Replacing -s with HTML arrow-thingies:
- -ref-More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1-/ref-
- And then create a "Footnotes" subheading at the bottom of the page, under which you type:
- -references/-
- That will automatically create a footnote there.
- See Ratchet (G1) for an example. --ItsWalky 19:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Lyrian
Are you seeing the Lyrian.jpg image on her entry? Because I still am not. Evan1975 22:12, 16 September 2006 (UTC) OK, correction: I am seeing it when I use Internet Explorer, but not when I use Mozilla Firefox. Evan1975 22:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think you need to refresh the page. --ItsWalky 22:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry?
Dude, the Seeker cateogry expressely said it was for G1 characters, and it wasn't until now that you decided that the Armada guys counted. Maximals was in Beast Era category, so I just made it more specific. Same for Vehicons. I'm sorry for pissing you off, but you're effectively blaming me for not being psychic. Interrobang 21:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Images fitting
I have a wide screen resolution (1280x800), and often times images that are on the same side will start to stack up if there aren't enough lines of text between them, kind of like this:
- img | _______
_______| | img
That's what was happening with the Airazor pics. Would it be better to add in come blank lines? --FortMax 15:18, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well, in Airazor's case, we just had to fill in more summary. She was missing some key episodes, which filled in more text between the two images. On other pages, I dunno, it's a problem with the system, which we'll have to work out, 'cuz I think all images are gonna hafta be lefted if there's storylinks over there. Otherwise it's a mess. --ItsWalky 15:27, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
COMPLETE GO-BOTS POWER?!!!
Walky, I must have this thing! For my Go-Bots site!
PLEEEASE?
{wipes up drool}
- Steve-o's got first dibs, and he'll have it up on his TF coloring book archive whenever he gets the time. I've just now shared the harddrive folder with all the stuff in it so he has access to it, after all these years. I'm slow. --ItsWalky 03:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Saw the scans. That's awesome! It's really too bad it never got made. And y'know, I think a Go-Bots cover done in the "DW house style" could actually look super-cools. May I have permission to upload the scans to my site? (I always like to ask.) --Salt-Man Z 20:10, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Bureaucrat
Hi David. Since the original founder of this wiki has been inactive since June 2005, I've made you a bureaucrat here in case there are any trusted community members who need to be made into admins. See Wikia:Help:User access levels for help with this. I liked your recent comic mentioning the wiki. Perhaps you should link to the wiki as well to encourage more transformers fans to join in. Angela talk 00:40, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Pretender Grimlock
In case you didn't know, Reprolabels makes Pretender Grimlock stickers. --FortMax 17:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oooh. --ItsWalky 17:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
About the delete of the IDW megatron Pic
The image illustrate megatron in his IDW form (as well as his alt mode), and it as been (at least) released on the official site. Isn't it all an image need to be. The text here, isn't the important part and is still readable anyway. Here just to prove it's not "stolen" or anything: http://www.idwpublishing.com/newreleases.shtml --GUIGUI 14:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- I know it's not stolen. We can probably manage to wait one more day until the actual issue comes out and we can have something of useable size to scan. The image, at the size it was, was useless. (Also, we should avoid having full pages up, unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise it's not exactly fair use.) --ItsWalky 14:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
And the Lord said "DUDE". And it was groovy.
For the record, and I know this counts for almost nothing, Willis is the reason I'm here. Yeah, I love wikis, I love Transformers, and I (rather inexplicably) adore the Jumpstarters, but I wouldn't know about Teletraan 1 if not for the blog on Shortpacked!.
So, yeah. That's all I gotta say for now... rawkon, Walkyboy. \m/
- I hate you. -hx 03:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- What the slag is Shortpacked, and who in the Pit is this Willis? --Autobus Prime 17:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- You aren't serious, are you? --FortMax 22:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- What the slag is Shortpacked, and who in the Pit is this Willis? --Autobus Prime 17:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Pie
What exactly is the great importance of Pie? --FortMax 21:20, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- As the ratio of the circumfrence to the radius of a sphere, it underpins the structure of our universe.
- Of course, some people argue that because no perfect circle exists in out quasi-raster universe, pi is actually nothing that a unique mathematical phenomena, of no consequence ot the real world.
- (These people are communists.) -Derik 22:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
disambuig question
When a character shares a name with an episode, do both pages get a series tag, or just the episode? --FortMax 17:41, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Are we talking about Chase? He's the only one that wouldn't get a (G1) otherwise, that I can think of... I would tentatively say that having the TF be Chase and the episode be Chase (Armada episode) would be fine. Of course, we might need a disambig page to encompass Chip Chase, I dunno. --ItsWalky 18:01, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
CSS change
Hey Walky, I'm requesting a change to the sitewide CSS that you can see at MediaWiki_talk:Monobook.css
It's Wikipedia's pretty able classes. Wikia (buizarely) comes with no table classes. We dont' use tables much here, but should we want to, we'd want them to look like this. (And this is the class all the wikipedia-how-to-create-a-table tutorials tell you to use.) The code is unaltered from Wikipedia, so it won't conflict with anything.
Appreciate it if you could port it over for me.-Derik 01:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Where do I put it? --ItsWalky 00:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry, I forgot you hadn't done this before.
- Please append the requested change from the CSS discussion area MediaWiki_talk:Monobook.css to the end of the actual CSS file MediaWiki:Monobook.css, which you can edit but I cannot.
- The lack of these table styles is moderately more pressing than it was when I originally requested them, since we now have an article that actually uses tables -Derik 22:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
online update
When you talk about online updates, maybe a direct link should be required (if it's official and everyhing and stuf...).
- ... for what? --M Sipher 22:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe I have I have missunderstood, but when he talk about "online update", he talk about material that have been put on official sites or something, and therefore, for completition sake, a link to it would be appropriate. If I have get it wrong, or if those sites require payment to be accessible, then forget what I say...
- It is indeed pay content for the Fan Club. A direct link would not work. --ItsWalky 22:45, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Alright.

Scale question
Hi there, this is PacifistPrime, the originator of the new Scale article. Thanks very much for your contributions. Just one question though; you've changed some of the estimated "real world" heights for characters like Prime and Bumblebee, stating that they "have been calculated". I don't mean to disagree with you per se (although I must admit your figures do instinctively strike me as unlikely, but that's just my guestimate), but I was wondering if you could please source those figures. Not so much in the article itself (believe me, I'm very sick of the bluenoses over at Wikipedia always being on peoples' case about that), but rather just for my own personal interest. I've actually wanted for some time now to set up a project that would use the toys and specs for the real vehicles to calculate how big most of the pre-Movie G1s would be. But if someone has already done this, I'd love to know their results, and I'd be particularly interested in their method. Can you give me some directions? Please respond in my own talk page, if you don't mind. Hope to hear from you, PacifistPrime.
- LV once figured it out using real vehicle lengths and stuff.
- Also, a trend in the article seems to be overunderestimating the size of the Transformers in the cartoon, for example, saying that Optimus Prime would "only" be 20 feet tall, versus the giant size you believe he is. We've got lots of model sheets available to us that show that Optimus Prime was drawn to be 15-ish feet, or 3 Spikes tall. Now, the comic tended to draw the Transformers much, much larger than that, but in the cartoon, they were kinda dinky, though that's of course not incredibly consistent. --ItsWalky 15:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
The Enemy Within Part 2
I'm wanting to start writing an article for The Enemy Within, but there is one slight problem. My scans of the issue (saved from Seibertron and TCA before the comic scans were taken down) are missing pages 9 and 10 (the last two color pages) from part 2, and from what I've been able to dig up from the Wayback Machine, the scans used on the various sites never had those two pages (or a few from The Man Of Iron UK printing, and page 8 from UK #6). I'm not sure if this is kosher, but any idea where I might be able to "acquire" those two pages? --FortMax 19:07, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Gimme an email address. I may have them. --ItsWalky 02:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Blog not wiki
Hey man, that's totally fair enough; realise I was on a bit of a rave there about Masterpiece Megs. Still, you didn't have to be impolite about it. Cheers, PacifistPrime. P.S. I wouldn't be caught dead writing a blog. Got much better things to do with my time. Like edit this wiki. ;-)
- Me again. I seem to stuff up on your watch pretty regularly, huh? Sorry about the E.J.Su cover thing; I honestly thought that WAS him for some reason. So much so, in fact, that I was wondering myself why the style seemed a little inconsistent with his other work...! Do you know who did do it? I expect was it the same dude who did the "Uncle Prime" recruitment poster. Later, PacifistPrime.
- I had already immediately edited the file to note the name of the artist. It's right there, man. --ItsWalky 15:43, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
one more Dinobot question
I'm wanting to try the part swap you did with your BWX Dinobots, but have one problem. Is there a way to remove the upper half of the molds upper arms without messing up the pegs and holes? Years ago, I removed those parts from my FoxKids Dinobot, but after re-assembling him, the arms would often pop off while rotating the shoulder swivel. --FortMax 18:09, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
The bicep piece, you mean? I haven't had any trouble with it. I just yanked it out of its socket, unscrewed it from the elbow, swapped, and voila. Worked same as before. --ItsWalky 18:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Just Sayin' Hi
Ok, this is embarassing.
I've been on the TFWiki a while now, and on a lot of discussion pages I've posted on, you're the first or second person to answer a question or comment on my post.
I also read Shortpacked and didn't know you were... well, you.
It was seemingly at random I clicked on your link to see your page and, lo and behold, you're the reason for so much joy and pain, the grand well of Transformers knowledge, the de facto LEGENDARY user who knows how many punctuation marks are in the title of seemingly random comics... from EUROPE.
I simply want to say that it's an honor for me to be able to collaborate with you on this project. Transformers has always been a big part of my childhood, and now my adulthood. I'm starting up the UniCronicles (see my page for more details) and yours, along with several other webcomics I read, have inspired me. I thank you for Shortpacked, your contribution to Teletraan I, and, of course, for making fun of that ditzy purple skank. I mean, am I the only one who noticed she was like 3 million years the senior of most of the Cybertron cast? Granny's got her freak on.
Anyway, keep making teh funniez. I'll keep reading them. King Starscream 04:55, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Transformers Chess Set
Do you know anything about the upcoming Tranformers Chess set? All I know is that Autobots are gold, and Decepticons are silver. And what should we do about an article? Just call it "Chess" or "Transformers Chess"? Plus, can anyone confirm whether or not Bumblebee is the pawn for the Autobot side? King Starscream 02:57, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, there's going to be two sets, one that's really expensive and in color and featuring show-accurate G1 dudes -- and the one you speak of, which is movie-related. Do we know what they say on the box, yet? I suppose we could have one article at Chess set or something that talks about all kinds of TF chess sets. --ItsWalky 15:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Unless there's something that really makes the sets remarkable or stand out as deserving individual mention, I move for one article about all Transformers versions of Chess, with a note about fulstasis. -Derik 16:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think just Chess is a better title than Chess set. --Steve-o 16:45, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Please remove (or at least justify) block
Um, Excuse me, but... what the heck? (Block ID #49)
Why on earth have you blocked me? VANDALISM? Are you kidding?!?
Is this about the two snarky little comments spilled over from the Movie-G1-IDW categorisation micro-debate? i.e., the ones that were already deleated from the Movie pages well over a week ago and are thus no longer an issue at all? Have you seriously blocked me over that? Good lord...
Okay, maybe those TWO very SMALL comments were SLIGHTLY out of order, but to call it vandalism...! This isn't Wikipedia, mate. If you wanna start policing sarcastic comments and POV material then you've got a loooong task ahead of you on this site, don't you think? Blocking me for those comments hardly seems rational.
That you wanted to delete them? Fine. But to BLOCK me for it? C'mon; get real.
I am a comparatively new user, but one in good standing who has contributed several articles and is polite in all discussions at every turn, far more so than some other users here that I've observed. I've noticed that on more than one occasion you have had somewhat grumpy reactions to things I have to say, so I'm more than a little suspicious that this block isn't some kind of vindictive action on your part, as you seemingly have some kind of problem with me, although I can't imagine on what basis.
This block is clearly absurd, and not at all in the spirit of fun and good humour I've come to love about this site. I don't see how you can reasonably justify this action, and I am also complaining about this to your fellow adminstrator.
Yours indignantly, PacifistPrime.
- For your information, I banned you right BEFORE I deleted your vandalism. It wasn't a week-later thing, no. And, yes, if you're going to end a long Talk Page discussion in which you were overwhelmingly outvoted by editing the articles themselves with retaliatory comments, then, yes, that's vandalism. Certainly, if that's going to be the nature of your contributions here, then you don't belong. --ItsWalky 01:29, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- With all due respect this is a massive overraction. I'm prepared to apologise to anyone you want me to, but you seem to be attributing all kinds of deviant, troublemaking behaviour to me that is simply NOT truthfully accurate. Don't take my word for it: please look at my history of contribution and discussion with other users. I've always been scrupulously polite and have never gotten into an edit war with anyone.
- So, Okay, yes, if you really want me to say it: I DID A BAD THING. I'm sorry. Don't you guys have some kind of strike system? To permanently ban me over this small piece of sarcasm really seems excessive, don't you think?
