Kind of a shame no one's bothered to welcome you before, you're making comprehensive additions. Alientraveller (talk) 19:14, 7 August 2014 (EDT)

Disambigs

Please remember to turn the "Not to be confused with" sections into sub-sections as well. --M Sipher (talk) 12:45, 13 May 2015 (EDT)

Will do. Grum (talk) 12:55, 13 May 2015 (EDT)

Ask Vector Prime

I love what you're doing with my template! Keep up the good work. --Giggidy (talk) 11:42, 14 August 2015 (EDT)

Thanks! You had the right idea; it makes everything look cleaner and easier to follow. Grum (talk) 11:49, 14 August 2015 (EDT)

Renegade Rhetoric

Please stop trimming the condensed Renegade Rhetoric content from characters who appear in other crossover fiction. Per community portal and Chris McFeely's proposal: "Those who only appear in Renegade Rhetoric get consolidated into a list with brief description of their Renegade Rhetoric adventures with links to the RR/src archive. And for the characters who do appear in crossover fiction, their Renegade Rhetoric adventures get that brief description with link to archive." We've had so many arguments about this in the past, do you REALLY want to reopen this wound by changing the rules that were debated and agreed on ad nauseum? --Giggidy (talk) 23:18, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

I brought it up over on the Allspark, and the general consensus was that Renegade Rhetoric minutiae like a character mentioning Canada didn't belong on the wiki,. Still, I'm not going to be the one responsible for starting Gobot War II. Grum (talk) 23:22, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

Why should a talk off-site have anything to do with wiki policy? We fought hard to find some kind of middle ground. If you want to change it, bring it up there and start Gobot War XXIX. --Giggidy (talk) 23:23, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

Timelines Toxitron

Toxitron's bio reads to me like he's an ordinary G1 Decepticon-turned-Autobot. Shouldn't he get his own page? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:39, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

I just put it on that page for the time being, feel free to shuffle stuff around as people deem nessecary. That said, I'm not sure if Timelines Toxitron is distinct enough to get his own page (after all, we have stuff like Rattrap, the heroic Maximal, and Rattrap, the morally-questionable Autobot all one page). Grum (talk) 22:47, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

He's actually Combiner Wars Toxitron. <--- not helping --ItsWalky (talk) 22:51, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

What I mean is that TFSS Toxitron looks to be a G1 continuity family guy, not a RiD2001 guy. Don't we still delineate by that? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:56, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

Club magazine images

Would you be able to upload an image of Gaea? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 15:46, 31 May 2016 (EDT)

Done! Grum (talk) 16:03, 31 May 2016 (EDT)

Thanks! S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 16:07, 31 May 2016 (EDT)

Could you also get Needlenose, Spinister, Stonecruncher, Excavator, Predaking, and Weirdwolf? And also the kickass scene in "Restoration" where Nexus Prime disarms (hee hee) Ultra Magnus? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 01:48, 11 June 2016 (EDT)

Sure. Grum (talk) 13:09, 11 June 2016 (EDT)

Thanks, Grum. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 14:26, 11 June 2016 (EDT)

One final image request: can you do Windblade, Hot Shot, Nautica, Metroplex, and Skywarp? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 16:47, 12 June 2016 (EDT)

I'll try to find those ones, but I can't guarantee anything. Grum (talk) 16:50, 12 June 2016 (EDT)

Rock Lords

You missed at least 2, I think. Here's a page with all of them, I know they were all mentioned at some point: http://www.toyarchive.com/Rocklords.html Escargon (talk) 20:04, 2 June 2016 (EDT)

Thanks for catching that. Grum (talk) 20:16, 2 June 2016 (EDT)

Sharkticons in the CoP

Does The Covenant of Primus mention the term "Sharkticon"? I think it might predate Retribution for mentioning Sharkticons in the Aligned continuity. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 15:35, 17 June 2016 (EDT)

Yep! They're name-dropped during the chapter describing the Age of Wrath. No idea how you can reconcile that with their later appearance in Retribution, where they're implied to be speciated Cybertronians, but that's Aligned for ya. Grum (talk) 17:15, 17 June 2016 (EDT)

Another image

Would you be able to upload the scene from exRiD #44 where Tracks is surrounded by the Decepticons and then stick it on the issue's article? I think the visual depiction of "AM Thundercracker", "G2 Ramjet", and the Buzzclaw-colored guy would enhance the page. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 23:59, 8 August 2016 (EDT)

Will do. Grum (talk) 00:00, 9 August 2016 (EDT)

Holomatter pics

Hey, since you're updating IDW pages with pictures, is there any chance you could update the holomatter page? Escargon (talk) 14:48, 15 August 2016 (EDT)

Will do. Grum (talk) 14:50, 15 August 2016 (EDT)

Moving pages

Pages need to be moved using the move option at the top of the screen, otherwise copying and pasting means the page history isn't maintained during the move. --abates (talk) 16:28, 13 September 2016 (EDT)

I tried doing it that way but the system wouldn't let me do it. Sorry, I should probably wait for an admin next time. Grum (talk) 16:29, 13 September 2016 (EDT)

I would like to apologize for making the move from "Cybertron Elite Guard" to "Elite Guard" unannounced (by that I mean swapping the code from one page to the other). I felt like whatever conversation I make was being neglected. Anyway, the pages with the Elite Guard logo still have the redirection to "Cybertron Elite Guard". Can anyone fix those please? On another note, the page currently titled "Jetfire (Movie)" is ready for deletion. All the necessary information from that page has been moved to the one titled "Jetfire (ROTF)". I am asking for help with deleting "Jetfire (Movie)" so "Jetfire (ROTF)" can be renamed as such. Whatever you can do would be a real help, because sometimes I feel like renaming links can be extremely tiresome. --NexusShard17 (talk) 12:45, 29 September 2018 (EDT)

I'm flattered, I'm not a wiki admin, only they can delete pages. You can find them [here]; I would recommend asking either Abates, Chris, or Walky to do it. Grum (talk) 18:40, 29 September 2018 (EDT)

Uprising work

Nice job filling so much stuff in *thumbs up*. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 00:53, 29 November 2016 (EST)

Thanks! Grum (talk) 01:00, 29 November 2016 (EST)

More images

Would you be able to find a good up-close shot of Sovereign in IDW for his page? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 20:50, 26 December 2016 (EST)

I'll try when I get the time. Grum (talk) 21:07, 26 December 2016 (EST)

Can you upload a better version of this image? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:19, 24 January 2017 (EST)

Will do. Grum (talk) 18:54, 24 January 2017 (EST)

Would you happen to have uploadable images for Lionhead, Stage-Dive, and the remaining SD SG characters? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2017 (EST)

Thanks! S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:03, 4 February 2017 (EST)

How about the shot from Lost Light #1 with the cameos where Tailgate lifts up Roller, plus the closing shot of Twelve-of-Twelve and the Functionaries, to decorate LL#1's page? Also, Clicker and Jack-Knife from LL#2 and the battle of Junkion in OP#2. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 23:19, 7 February 2017 (EST)

Can you get Garrison Kreiger, Sgt. Savage, and Grill from Revolutionaries #3? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:22, 28 March 2017 (EDT)

I'll do that when I get the issue. Grum (talk) 22:37, 28 March 2017 (EDT)

No rush. Thanks! S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:41, 28 March 2017 (EDT)

Can you a large and cleaned version of Mainframe from his profile in Revolution #3? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 21:33, 11 April 2017 (EDT)

Okay, done. Grum (talk) 08:04, 12 April 2017 (EDT)

Nice work. How about Roadblock as well? His main image could certainly be upgraded. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 05:19, 13 April 2017 (EDT)

Many thanks, Grum! S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 13:16, 13 April 2017 (EDT)

No problem! Grum (talk) 13:21, 13 April 2017 (EDT)

Can you enhance this, this, maybe this image as well? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 19:35, 29 April 2017 (EDT)

How about Red Zone, Hi-Tech, Wreckage, Terrence Salmons, Bryce Chan, Pauline Bestley, and any unmasked M.A.S.K. guys? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 23:32, 30 April 2017 (EDT)

Can you enhance this and this? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 14:37, 11 May 2017 (EDT)

If you have the time, can you get up profile images of Aura, Axiom, Pauline Bestley, Biotron, Bryce Chan, Doc, Countdown, Eclipse, Gulliver, Gung-Ho, Helix, Ice Queen, Larissa, and Microtron? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 18:22, 12 August 2017 (EDT)

TLK

Hey, I think that jet thing they used to fly from America to London was an Autobot, too, since Simmons talked about it. Escargon (talk) 17:03, 22 June 2017 (EDT)

Was it? I couldn't tell. (Same with the submarine - what was up with that?) Grum (talk) 19:26, 22 June 2017 (EDT)

Combiners

Hey, nice work of the Combiner article, much more succinct than I could manage. One small thing I'd like to contest, though, are the details about Prowl's effect on Optimus Maximus (and by extension the info on Bruticus and others): I had specifically added stuff like that, as I considered them insight into the combiner process/mind-melding/mindscape/whatev, something we hear about but don't see that often. Ultimately it's up to you, but just thought I'd mention it. Thanks! Crossfire 03:55, 16 February 2018 (EST)

Yeah, I intend to keep most of the psychological stuff - it's the stuff about what every individual combiner did that I'm trying to cut down on. Grum (talk) 12:04, 16 February 2018 (EST)

IDW first appearances

Why are you deleting these? -- Repowers (talk) 21:48, 16 February 2018 (EST)

I guess that they don't really seem... necessary? Like, I get the idea behind it, but at the same time it's not really something we do for anything else on the wiki. Grum (talk) 23:39, 16 February 2018 (EST)

Because nothing else has as long and convoluted a history as the IDW books! -- Repowers (talk) 18:48, 18 February 2018 (EST)

I mean if you or other people want to add them back in, I don't really have a problem with it. Grum (talk) 23:02, 18 February 2018 (EST)

Sorry

I called you a caption bastard for changing the caption on the SS bumblebee image and I'm sorry. Still, isn't it against wiki rules for changing captions that have nothing wrong with them? --westjames/notirishman (talk) 21:11, 4 May 2018 (EDT)

Ore-12 and Emissary

Cheers. Noticed that you reverted my edit in the article for OP #18, saying that it's Ore-12 -- not Emissary -- that was the source of the Space Knights' armor. Just to be clear, I never meant to imply that their armor was made out of Emissary himself; rather that he was the vessel which brought Ore-12 to Elonia (which I now concede is inaccurate).

I just went back to Unicron #0 to double-check, and Rom does in fact make it seem like Emissary was the source of the Regenesis ore. Looks like Rom was wrong here - the planet was seeded by one of Shockwave's Regenesis missiles separately from Emissary's arrival. Should this be cleared up in the Notes so that other readers don't get similarly confused?

My main question: should we still add a thingy in the Notes section that confirms that the Knights' armor is, in fact, an Ore? Or is the information already there sufficient? Genitus (talk) 17:52, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

The Ore-12 article itself does already go into detail about how everything is connected, but I'm willing to believe that Rom's comment is just a simplification of events for new readers who haven't been keeping up with 13 years of comics. Grum (talk) 17:59, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

So... should we add anything, or leave as is? Genitus (talk) 18:07, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

I added a relevant note on the Ore-12 article, that should cover it. Grum (talk) 18:28, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

Understood, looks good. Genitus (talk) 19:08, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

Badimage for watermarked images

Hello there, uh, when you upload a watermarked screencap, please use the badimage template for watermarking. Thanks! --notirishman (talk) 20:53, 18 October 2018 (EDT)

Changing

If you want to take over, fine, but note that a lot of IDW pages are not in the IDW G1 category tree, which is why I was prioritising those over the ones that are (and I wasn't done yet). - Mammalian Verisimilitude (talk) 17:12, 3 April 2019 (EDT)

Also, one of the reasons I was taking so long is that I was checking for mislinks - e.g., here, you didn't change the Jazz link to go to the IDW Jazz page.

(And if there's some sort of consensus on changing from IDW 2005 to 2005 IDW, you really should move the pages first, so that you're not creating a load of redlinks.) - Mammalian Verisimilitude (talk) 17:15, 3 April 2019 (EDT)

The Human factor and TF Prime The game

Is an episode with a mutilated human (and horrible science's product) appropriate for a cartoon aimed to children and teenagers? RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 13 August 2019 (EDT)

No worse than any of the other episodes with people and Transformers getting killed in explosions, turning into zombies, etc. Grum (talk) 19:14, 12 August 2019 (EDT)

Why are you doing this? There are LOTS of ironical notes in other pages. RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 13 August 2019 (EDT)

Because generally those notes were added by people who either wrote big chunks of the article, or have done major work on the wiki...and, well, generally they're more insightful than just "this dark episode of a dark TV show had dark things in it."Grum (talk) 19:26, 12 August 2019 (EDT)

Are you kidding me!? You judge me only for my contribution? I'm new ok, but I start from small things like everyone before me. This is one of the smallest trivia of tfwiki. (I also remember you that I've created S7 Half Dome, added new images, increased the female transformers story in Tyran universes etc....). My part in this website is growing please, stop being so rude. RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 13 August 2019 (EDT)

You are rude, very very rude. RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 14 August 2019 (EDT)

You and Grum are completely ignoring my discussions, I'm trying to reason civilly with you two and ignoring me is the proof of intollerance, rudeness and backwardness. RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 14 August 2019 (EDT)
