Editing Pages

I see you have taken out one of my edits in the Starscream tfp page.... was that edit irrelevant or something? LittleAutobot1218 12:23, 13 February 2020 (EST)

More or less. The edit didn't really add anything of substance to the article, and it had both grammar and formatting issues. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 12:36, 13 February 2020 (EST)

Sorry... I didn't really know about that LittleAutobot1218 8:57, 2 20 February 2020 (EST)

"Unidentified character"

Yeah let’s just say Blurr was unidentified by me. But if u say it is Blurr i’ll take you from your word. Btw I don’t know who Blurr is —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Octane (talk • contribs).

"Red Five" (Cyberverse)

I thought that too, but I also thought that the way he was part of the group that was otherwise made up of named characters, his prominent red colouring and the fact he was the first one to be "shot down" as part of the diversion was a reference to the Redshirt trope, which then became playing with the trope because he didn't actually die.

I have to admit that as soon as I saw the guy, I thought, "A red generic? Oh, no. The poor doomed bastard." And then when his shuttle blew up first...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by WM-R (talk • contribs).

Didn't they confirm that the Bumblebee movie is a reboot?

It's what I read. Apparently,it was announced at the New York Toy Fair 2019 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ‎Thetransformersmorethanmeetstheeye (talk • contribs).

Already discussed here. The upshot is that the announcement was vague marketing speak but that actual released products link the BB movie to the previous ones. Basically, the announcement was Hasbro's way of saying "we know the old movies sucked, we promise future ones will be better" without actually insulting their own prior product. --Khajidha (talk) 10:35, 15 November 2019 (EST)

Removing Periods

So I am really sorry for doing this I was at work and was working on this and left my computer open when i went to a meeting and one of my coworkers must of messed with it.--Oldmajor (talk) 11:46, 14 January 2020 (EST)

Phil LaMarr

Your right, I know I shouldn't be reverting back and fourth with occupations, I apologize for that. I just couldn't make up my mind to agree on if he's notable for being a comedian or not, because he did work on MadTV. But like I said before, I'm really sorry.

Creating a page

I wanted to add a page regarding Outright Games due to their role in publishing Transformers: Battlegrounds and I wanted to ask if it was okay to add the page before the game has been released or not. If so and the game is cancelled, I'm willing to delete it afterwards. -- DKSlayer64 13:21, 12 June 2020 (EDT)

There's no reason why not, though I would recommend looking at some other game company articles on the wiki as examples so you get an idea of how to properly format the article. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:18, 12 June 2020 (EDT)

On 3A/ThreeA/ThreeZero

Considering that the line of ThreeZero and its figures, I wanted to ask if we should consider adding the figures that are being made by the company under the corresponding characters' Merchandise pages, if possible. -- DKSlayer64 (talk) 13:56, 12 June 2020 (EDT)

It's an officially-licensed product, so yeah, it should probably on there. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:18, 12 June 2020 (EDT)

Did u watch the decepticon episode More than meets the eye of rescue bots academy and if so. how?Freakertron (talk) 03:38, 21 June 2020 (EDT)

It aired in the UK; it's floating out there if you know where to look. (and no, I won't say where) -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 09:49, 21 June 2020 (EDT)

Continuity Notes

How are Continuity Notes defined? What are some examples? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 96megatron (talk • contribs).

Intentional callbacks and references to past events, not just vague connections. For example, using a macguffin obtained in the last movie or a character specifically mentioning something that happened in a previous movie would constitute a continuity note. A list of new characters or "character uses a weapon they've used in every other movie" is not, nor is just a list of film plot points. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:28, 2 August 2020 (EDT)

Thank you for taking the time for the response. Are there any of these bullet points that can be kept? −

• This film reveals the existence of ‘The Creators’, a mysterious race of aliens responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs and creating our titular transforming robotic aliens, or at least their elemental metal. Originally it was believed the Allspark was the sole progenitor of the race of ‘Transformers’. How 'the Allspark' and ‘The Creators’ are connected remains to be told.
• Sometime after the 'Battle for Chicago', the U.S. has provided the company, Kinetic Solutions Incorporated, with the collected Decepticons’ remains and their abandoned technology for research. However, during the massive clean up some of the technology was stolen by quite a hefty amount of people, not associated with the U.S. government. Even ending up in the hands of those both within and outside of the United States, the Russians have even started a bidding war.
• Following the disbanding of NEST, a new paramilitary unit, called Cemetery Wind was formed, composed of just humans, some who’ve lost families in the Battle of Chicago, and is headed by Harold Attinger, tasked with dealing with the remaining Decepticons forces. Although some of Earth’s government officials are under the assumption that the Autobots are still assisting in efforts to put an end to the remaining Decepticons threat.
• Brains, last seen in the previous film going down with the Decepticon mothership, alongside Wheelie, leaving his fate ambiguous is revealed to still be alive (albeit without one of his legs attached, using it as a makeshift cane). Wheelie's fate was something that was still unknown, until his reappearance in the following film, The Last Knight.
• Sometime after the final battle of Dark of the Moon, Optimus had his arm reattached, after being removed by Sentinel Prime during their final fight, presumably by Ratchet, our best offscreen medic.
• In the KSI lab, among the spoils of war, are the heads of Sentinel Prime and Megatron, provided through government contracts.
• Established in the first film, Optimus Prime has held a no-harming-or-killing-humans rule (although his Autobots don't always follow that rule), the betrayal and subsequent hunting of his kind by the humans challenges Optimus' one rule.

Creating a page for the Activators

Having noticed your edits to my edits to the Mini-Con page, I decided to put forth the idea that the Activator Mini-Cons should possibly be given their own page, considering that the Weaponizer Mini-Cons from the same series have one of their own. It would serve the purpose of lessening the amount of links and text in that section, and makes a certain amount of sense given, again, the Weaponizer Mini-Cons have a page of their own for a similar purpose. -- ChangingFate (talk) 17:47, 9 August 2020 (EDT)

Robots In Disguise reprint

Okay i can understand your other edits and respect but why did you delete the link that proved it was out?--Projectus (talk) 22:38, 13 August 2020 (EDT)

Because we generally don't put purchase links in the reprint sections. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 23:00, 13 August 2020 (EDT)

Someone did it for volume 1. Granted, you just use the word generally, but still don't you think they need some proof to show that their is a second volume and not fake as hell. If you have another option, I'm all ears.--Projectus (talk) 23:57, 13 August 2020 (EDT)

Put the link in the edit description when you add it. Also, none of those Volume 1 links actually go to the respective store listings. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 00:24, 14 August 2020 (EDT)

SG Movie Optimus

I used a version of that photo with a clear background to use as the main picture of this page but do you think the old one is still better for the merchandise section? Perhaps I should use the picture of SG Optimus carrying the Ion Blaster as the main picture and use the old picture in the merchandise section, since that old picture did show all the accessories and the full figure.--Primestar3 (talk) 19:55, 17 August 2020 (EDT)

Sentinel Prime is not Zeta Prime

If we have to apply what "Hasbro" says, then we should apply what Transformers DOTM's script says. You see, in this script, Sentinel Prime united the cybertronian tribes. In fact, Nova Prime from G1 did it. So, if I use your way, then we should call it Sentinel Nova Prime.

Again, it makes no sense. Even if Hasbro says the "full name" of Zeta Prime, it appears that the character is only called Zeta Prime in the final work. You cannot imagine a new character called "Sentinel Zeta Prime" just for one quote from Hasbro.

What about Hasbro ? Check discussions about the project WFC, everyone asked Hasbro with this question : "Are we going to get Sentinel or Zeta or both ?". Hasbro finally answered "Zeta Prime" with a picture of the character. They didn't say "Sentinel Zeta Prime".

If you want to add the truth in this page, then rename it Zeta Prime (WFC) or delete it once and for all.

Zeta Prime has nothing to do with Alpha Trion. This page is full of lies. Sentinel Prime is the PREDECESSOR of Zeta Prime. Sentinel Prime had the matrix. Zeta Prime didn't get the matrix.

Even Exodus proved they weren't the same character about the belt.

Like it or not, they will never be the same character. The truth speaks. -- TransformersFan00 (talk) 10:14, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

Well clearly you haven't read any of the fucking novels, because A: Sentinel Prime does not have the Matrix in Exodus, and B: He's called Sentinel Zeta Prime multiple times in the Covenant of Primus. But please, do go on about your "truth" that can be easily disproven by, you know, actually knowing what happened. Escargon (talk) 10:34, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

Again, go watch the G1, the ORIGINAL Transformers and the cartoon of 2005. Sentinel and Zeta are not the same character. Plus not the same skin appeareance AT ALL. You misinterpret everything. Go bring your "proofs" and it will be EASY to disprove them. Hasbro has already contradicted itself. Come with more of your "proofs" and contradictions. You talk about Exodus ? Don't you see the belt ? Your "Sentinel Zeta Prime" is so unrealistic for Sentinel is the mentor of Optimus WHEREAS Zeta is not the mentor of Optimus. You could say Sentinel and Zeta are the predecessors of Optimus, but then so are Alpha, Nominus and Nova. So then, Sentinel Zeta Alpha Nova Nominus Prime is the predecessor of Optimus. You are completely out of the reality. -- TransformersFan00 (talk) 10:44, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

G1 and the movies have nothing to do with one another, nor do they have anything to do with WFC. I don't think you understand how continuities, reboots, and reusing names for trademark purposes works. I'd hate to have to see you try to reconcile Ironhide, Ironhide and Ironhide. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 11:05, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

This is hypocritical. You talk about continuity but the page says "Sentinel Zeta Prime" fought against the Quintessons and was close to Alpha Trion. Don't you see this come from G1 ???? In this case, it is Sentinel Prime, not Zeta Prime. So think before you speak. If we truly apply your false point of view, then we should call this character Sentinel Nova Nominus Zeta Prime.

So uncivilised. --TransformersFan00 (talk) 11:24, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

So what I'm getting from this is that you don't understand that WFC takes place in a different universe than G1. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 11:30, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

And the moral of today's story: don't be dumb. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 11:34, 26 August 2020 (EDT)

Darkside Optimus Prime

The image i put us Darkside Optimus Prime according to the source I found viva video and is confirmed to be Darkside Optimus Prime in a G1 body but I don’t know where it originated and reverse search hasn’t help at all so it will be an stub here —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nelspeedracer (talk • contribs).

You're going to have to be more specific. How can you be certain it's Darkside Optimus Prime and not Nemesis Prime? Heck, if you don't even know where it's from, it shouldn't be on the wiki in the first place. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:10, 1 September 2020 (EDT)

That’s Nemesis Prime from the All Spark manga. Escargon (talk) 18:14, 1 September 2020 (EDT)

My bad I’ll have Darkside Optimus Prime into Nemesis Prime then —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nelspeedracer (talk • contribs).

Although why it’s Nemesis Prime and not Darkside Optimus Prime when he was brought to life from his dark mind and so was Darkside Optimus Prime so I’m a bit confused —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nelspeedracer (talk • contribs).

Because not everything's always going to line up 100% between different versions of the same character. In the Basics video you took that screencap from, it even says Nemesis Prime is sometimes the manifestation of Optimus's dark thoughts.

Also, I'll be blunt: You have this bad habit of trying to add information to pages just for the sake of adding it without doing proper research into where it's from, what it actually means, or if it's even correct. Adding things in such a state only creates more work for other editors, and it shouldn't have to be everyone else's responsibility to fill in the rest because you refuse to do the legwork yourself. In the future, please don't add information without properly verifying its accuracy. (And please sign your posts.)-- Cyberlink420 (talk) 18:53, 1 September 2020 (EDT)

Undo revision 1454429 by MistaTee (talk) "They" is standard pronoun usage for a character with no established gender.)

Geezis, I hope you're not going to go through every character and do this. Shouldn't we assume every character who is not female is male? MistaTee (talk) 17:57, 29 October 2020 (EDT)

With how much fiction has introduced characters that had no stated gender in their bios (whether they were canonized male or female), and with how clear it has been official sources use this wiki as an information resource (Scrapmetal, Quintesson Balliff, Roadburner's depiction in the Legends game, etc.), the wiki should be as accurate as possible in presenting the information that is known, and if we don't know a character's gender, the most correct way would be to refer to them with they/them pronouns. Its not gonna kill anyone to use singular they. SoundJack426 (talk) 19:40, 29 October 2020 (EDT)

What qualifies whether it's known or not? For example, in G1 up to and including through the 86 movie, only Arcee and the female autobots are named as such. Would this mean everyone else from that period is male or genderless? Do we go by their voices? MistaTee (talk) 01:23, 30 October 2020 (EDT)

With Hasbro's original intent being there would be no girls in Transformers, and considering everyone from that era have been referred to with male/female pronouns by this point (I believe), nothing would change about them. But in general, when I say "known pronouns", I mean that they have been referred to with pronouns, whether in story or toy bio. If they don't have any fiction and/or bio info that identifies them, they should really be referred to by they/them. Easiest examples being Mini-Cons/Microns that were released as special exclusives with no bio attached and absolutely no fiction, or any BotBots without any pronouns in the official website bios. The ER Airwave is a new character without a bio and no fiction identifying their gender, so we should refer to them as they/them. SoundJack426 (talk) 08:40, 30 October 2020 (EDT)

I see your logic, however they/them is plural. You should really use "it" [1]. Though I do prefer "they" to these nu-pronouns, ze, xe, whatever. --MistaTee (talk) 15:04, 1 November 2020 (EST)

Better idea: let's not do that, because "they/them" are acceptable pronouns for nonbinary individuals or individuals of unspecified gender, and calling someone "it" is a really shitty thing to do. It stays as is. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 15:27, 1 November 2020 (EST)

Support

Helping out a new guy, Hello, I'm Azrael and I'm teaching myself the basic of editing, could you tell me why you unedited my edit for future refence for Magmatron page, thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Azrael (talk • contribs).

As I said on your talk page, the rules say you shouldn't be editing image captions if you're still new. The captions are meant as a reward and incentive for the people who put in the hard work fixing pages, adding content, and making the wiki better. We're meant to be informative first and foremost; while we do allow humor, it's largely an afterthought by comparison. Once you've gotten a lot more substantial edits under your belt, like adding episode summaries or filling in toy information, feel free to add in a few captions here and there! But if you're only here to add jokes and not put in any actual work, you're probably best going elsewhere. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 13:29, 5 November 2020 (EST)

Thank you, the thing I wish to add for now is the official bio and stat blocks that some characters have like IDW Beast Wars or the original 80's G1, as a way see the official info about some people.

Hello, me again, I just notice you change to my change to the Lost light page, may I ask why. I was just trying to help people understand the roles on the ship for the whole crew and not just the ones in command to help better show the ship crew and their function overall. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Azrael (talk • contribs).

Because literally 95% of it was made up or inaccurate. Escargon (talk) 08:19, 17 November 2020 (EST)

While I will admit to taking some liberty using the main profile to try to see where they were on the ship along with using what they did beforehand and with characters info dumps to figure out their job. Some characters that die in all version of the lost light like Pipes alone with those who clearly left, Bob and Sunstreak, is not wrong. So no I wasn't 95% making it up. But in the spirit of cooperation, how about you help me correct my mistakes to display a more accurate list of the crew to still proved the readers of this wiki with a list of crew and their roles better.

How about you stop trying to add pointless labels (most of which are your own personal fanon) to the list? --Khajidha (talk) 10:58, 17 November 2020 (EST)
