Why are you against my merger with those go-bot page if i may be so bold to ask?--Projectus (talk) 20:56, 3 October 2021 (EDT)

Ok, sorry

Can I re-upload it after it fits the standards of this wiki? --GobotsFanForever (talk) 20:08, 9 April 2021 (EDT)

Sure, but you might be better off finding a different image of Whirl. In the one you uploaded, she's just sort of standing there, while all the other images are more dynamic and show her actually doing things. Try to find something more distinct that better conveys what the character is doing in the episode. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:39, 9 April 2021 (EDT)

Hoist Goes Hollywood

You reverted my edit saying it was "still a stretch." What I wrote was:

"The Autobot cast for this episode is particularly appropriate. Apart from Hoist, all the Autobots who crash the filming in search of stardom are notably vain attention-seekers. Though this trait is rarely played up with Warpath, his ego regarding his gun and shooting skills is mentioned in his bios, and he appropriately makes his entrance by displaying his sharpshooting skills."

My question is this: How the heck is that a stretch? It notes what was clearly the writer's intention in casting the episode and explains the choice of a character who would seemingly be the odd man out.

I don't do a lot of editing on here, and I genuinely try to do so only when I feel I'm adding something or improving something in accordance with the standards as I understand them, but I've had several edits reverted recently that I had put a good amount of thought into, and the justifications for those reversions have been uniformly unsatisfying and very poorly explained. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tjfosko (talk • contribs).

I genuinely don't think the writer put that much thought into it. And unless you have an interview with the writer saying as much, you can't say it was clearly their intention; it was more likely as simple as them being told "here's the toy(s) we want to promote this week, write a story about them". This just feels like adding a note for the sake of adding a note on an overly crowded page. (I personally think a lot of the existing notes don't serve to add much either, so it's not just a you thing.) And please remember to sign your talk page posts. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 23:29, 15 May 2021 (EDT)

So, you don't think the writer of the episode picked specifically four glory-hounds to crash a movie studio hoping for stardom, but that he instead got a note saying, "We want you to sell Hoist, Tracks, Sunstreaker, Powerglide, and Warpath this week"? Look at Earl Kress's episode credits. "The Immobilizer" is practically the only episode dealing with Ironhide's age (besides a few minor asides) and actually features a rare instance of Trailbreaker being a jokester. "B.O.T.," for all its flaws, plays up Swindle better than any other episode. "Desertion of the Dinobots" doesn't have the same degree of focus, but the episodes he wrote tend to be very strong in their depictions of characters. Even if your scenario of "promote these toys this week" is accurate (which I don't think it is, as the production materials that I've seen make it seem like Hasbro gave broad strokes with the exception of a few instances of "don't use this guy because we aren't releasing him" (Reflector) or "shove this in somewhere because it's a new toy" (Protectobots)), that only makes the cast more noteworthy, as it's an incredibly convenient accident. It seems way, way more likely that the writers, with the exception of the more mercenary jobs like "The Search for Vector Sigma," were given a box of toys and told, "these are your available characters, choose as you wish."

As for the unsigned comment, my bad. Slipped my mind. Trying to keep up with that. Tjfosko (talk) 11:51, 17 May 2021 (EDT)

Just a suggestion

Since G1 Optimus Prime and Megatron have an extremely long list of appearances and will likely have even more in the future, can I split their Game appearances into separate pages? --GobotsFanForever (talk) 13:36, 16 August 2021 (EDT)

This has actually already been proposed over at Talk:Optimus Prime (G1)#Another split? -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 13:43, 16 August 2021 (EDT)

Arcana

Hi. I just edited the Arcana page. However, I can't make the caption link to the page. The link and the caption are separate. Could you edit it so that the caption links to the page, please? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cybertron1986 (talk • contribs). 15:09, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

I suppose I should learn how to do it on practice pages. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cybertron1986 (talk • contribs). 15:14, 15 September 2021 (EDT)

My mistake

Wait really? Oh gosh, my extreme apologies then! I wasn't aware that was a UK English spelling! I saw both Installment and Instalment on the same page and thought it was an error. BigRobot (talk) 23:05, 26 September 2021 (EDT)BigRobot

Delete

why do you keep deleting my stuff? is it irrelevant? Tylerwu (talk) 13:27, 8 November 2021 (EST)

Irrelevant and/or inaccurate. For example, you claimed Doublecrosser said something that was actually said by Bug Bite, and you repeatedly got Rack'n'Ruin's name wrong. Also, you really need to stop trying to remove every instance of profanity; the wiki has always been PG-13, and any words that have been used in official Transformers media like "bitch" and "shit" are okay for use. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 13:40, 8 November 2021 (EST)

Noted, but that sounds unprofessional. Also, watch the tone. you are unnecessarily rude. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tylerwu (talk • contribs).

Apology

For your politeness, I would like to formally apologize. I know I was being a jerk and being immature. That happens to me all the time. I'm sorry I did all that to you. Just please remember that not everyone needs to be treated like underlings and so. But in my case, I totally deserved it. So I'm just apologising. Thanks, Tylerwu (talk) 16:23, 8 November 2021 (EST)

I genuinely appreciate the apology, but actions ultimately speak louder than words, so I hope you take this to heart and practice better judgment going forward. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 16:35, 8 November 2021 (EST)

Universal

Hello, can you keep some of my edits? or at least change them? I feel like the "difference from film" section might be relevant. Also, ironhide and ratchet don't speak. Should they still be credited? Tylerwu (talk) 19:58, 3 December 2021 (EST)

It's not really meant to be explicitly based on any of the films, so it's largely unnecessary to note any differences. And as I said before, there's no reason for us to document what happens when the ride breaks because it's not standard procedure, and not everyone is going to have the same experience during a malfunction, so it's impossible to log every possible result. Also, Ratchet and Ironhide appear and speak in the queue for the ride, which the article also covers. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 20:21, 3 December 2021 (EST)

Play Doh

Hi, you deleted my stuff about the compound from the spoiler boxes from the WFC trilliogy toys because it was not marketed as playdoh, yet now, there is a new section about playdoh. Even though it IS playdoh, it was never marketed as playdoh. If you choose to keep it, why delete mine? Tylerwu (talk) 21:45, 13 January 2022 (EST)

Apart from the fact that I didn't even realize someone had added it back until a few days ago (and was convinced to let it stay in a separate discussion), the current write-up is much more detailed and actually explains why it's mentioned in the Play-Doh article. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:21, 13 January 2022 (EST)

Whirl - Marvel UK - Time Wars

You removed my parenthetical regarding Whirl's lack of appearance because you believed it had no bearing on his survival. However, no one knows what happened to Whirl since he never appeared, and that makes his survival ambiguous. The current note is also confusing as written because it implies Whirl appears in Time Wars, but he doesn't. I was trying to add in some clarity to answer a question I'd been trying to get answered for myself, as I looked through the wiki trying to figure out what happened to Whirl or if he'd died in a story that I somehow didn't have in my collection (since my G1 comics collection is the Titan collections, and with the weird way the UK stories were collected I wasn't 100% positive I had all the relevant stories), and it took far more digging than it should have for me to figure it out, and the Time Wars note did cause me actual confusion.Tjfosko (talk) 12:28, 17 February 2022 (EST)

I disagree with outright questioning his survival, but I do think it's worth bringing up on his page that he stopped appearing, without us outright saying he's alive or dead. Escargon (talk) 12:34, 17 February 2022 (EST)

I added a note to Whirl's character page to that effect. It was also deleted. Like probably 90% of the edits I make. C'est la vie. And I don't really mean to so much question his survival but to say that there's never any real statement as to what happened to him.Tjfosko (talk) 12:46, 17 February 2022 (EST)

Re:Account rename

Thanks for the heads up! But there were other reasons why I wanted to ditch my old account, such as it being tied to an email I don't have access to anymore and me only vaguely remembering the password. It's not like I did much on it anyway, I think my most notable contribution was correcting a typo or two. If the staff wants me to use my old account for safe-keeping purposes or something, then I'd be fine with that though. --AmeliaLH (talk) 00:01, 25 February 2022 (EST)

No worries. This was more just to ask if you would rather use a renamed old account or a fresh account since the rules only permit you to have one. I'll close your old account then. Thanks, and happy editing! -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 00:36, 25 February 2022 (EST)

"nipping this in the bud"

I take it you're just going to block me so you don't have to provide an argument, yeah? Elita1 (talk) 23:14, 26 February 2022 (EST)

I don't have to. As our policy states, "he who owns the house, makes the rules". And as all of the admins are of the agreement that white nationalism is bad and have never been afraid to call out shitty people (see: Pat Lee, Adam Baldwin), I see no reason why the paragraph should be removed. The fact that you joined just to do so indicates your intentions are less than noble. I suggest you drop it, or you will find yourself banned immediately. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 23:19, 26 February 2022 (EST)

As you wish. Elita1 (talk) 23:30, 26 February 2022 (EST)

Discord ban appeal

Hey, not sure if you are the right person to ask, but over a year ago, I don’t quite recall when, I was (rightfully) banned from the Discord server for my immature and attention seeking behaviour, truthfully I am glad I was banned sooner than later since at that time I probably would’ve gotten myself banned for something much worst, Now that over a year has passed, and I’ve dealt with a lot of the issues I had with my life and gotten myself in a better place, mentally socially, etc and again I’m into Transformers than ever I wanted to be able to contribute to the Wiki again, and learn how to be more professional about my edits, and I’d like to rejoin the discord server for that purpose, in order to discuss wiki contributions, unlike before when I *only* wanted it as a place to talk and receive attention when I had no one else to talk to in my life, I don’t mean to come off as sappy or anything of the sort, just me asking for a second chance and stating how I intend to be better if given it. (I was Lucas-Magic-Ninja’s on the Discord). Hexnut17 (talk) 00:38, March 19 2022 (EST)

I've spoken to the admin who issued your ban and they're willing to give you another shot. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 12:36, 19 March 2022 (EDT)

Jacqueline

Send in a re-edited Jcqueline trivia (I don't know how to do tenses, so I apologize for that but hopefully the edited version works better).--Projectus (talk) 10:49, 2 April 2022 (EDT)

Rewording

I wasn’t trying to remove Nick Studios on the EarthSpark page, I was trying to condense the sentence to be the same one that says how it is developed by eOne and Nick. There was another sentence that said Nick Studios is producing, so I wanted to merge the two and make it say that it is being co-produced and developed by them. But the caption still doesn’t make sense to me, since it isn’t for Nick alone anymore and the Nick who is a character designer isn’t really the person who the show is "by." Taylr2000 (talk) 23:28, 12 April 2022 (EDT)

It's simple wordplay, and it's still a show featuring designs by Nick Roche for Nickelodeon Studios. And the existing verbiage for the paragraph is fine. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 00:03, 13 April 2022 (EDT)

Misattribution note

I added it because I saw another page that had a misattribution quote that explained it was a misattribution Tylerwu (talk) 09:59, 5 May 2022 (EDT)

tagging images

I'm new in here mate, please exlain me about the image tag thing cuz i don't understand from what i've read. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cyberpunx80 (talk • contribs). 03:55, 23 May 2022 (EDT)

Thank you very much for the help, i didn't mean to cause any trouble. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cyberpunx80 (talk • contribs). 07:10, 23 May 2022 (EDT)

Accidental recreation

II’ll remember the site, but as a mobile user, I can,t get to it due to parental restrictions —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Liokaser19 (talk • contribs). 11:40, 1 August 2022 (EDT)

Tagging stock images

Sorry to bother you but how do i add the stock tag to an image im uploading? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kirby54 (talk • contribs).

Just type {{stock}} and the wiki will do the rest. We have a bunch of different stock templates for different toylines, so take a look through this category and find the one that fits best, then just type the name of that template between brackets. For example, if you're uploading a stock image of a Collaborative toy, type {{Collaborativestock}}.

(Also, make sure to sign your talk page posts! Just type ~~~~ and the wiki will automatically fill in your signature.) -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 13:12, 3 November 2022 (EDT)

thank you for clearing things up. Kirby54 (talk) 13:28, 3 November 2022 (EDT)

Thrash Picture Caption

I understand how the first caption could have been taken as “whining”, with the ellipses and whatnot, but please explain why you consider the second attempt as me “whining”. It has a joking tone (as I was originally going for). I would simply like explanation, for as far as I can see, it’s far from plain complaining.

DeathwingTech (talk) 19 November 2022 (EDT)

Sure still came off whiny. Plus, captions where every word links to something else are a big no-no. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 01:07, 20 November 2022 (EST)

Alright, in that case, how would you suggest fixing it? I do feel that it’s a good punchline, just needs a better tone. And thank you for clarifying, I’m pretty new around here! — DeathwingTech (talk) 19 November 2022 (EDT)

I don't think there's any fixing it. Like, it's not even a joke, it's just saying there are other motorcycle characters. Half your examples aren't even main characters. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 01:16, 20 November 2022 (EST)

I mean, I’ve seen multiple examples of characters’ main captions comparing them to coincidentally similar characters, but if you say so. DeathwingTech 01:27, 20 November 2022 (EST)

War for Cybertron

Hey obviously I am updating this. Dreadwing has just been mentioned in Siege episode 5 as a Seeker in the past. Not sure where to update this history for the character.--Grauntlet (talk) 20:12, 26 April 2023 (EDT)

APOLOGIES! I AM SO SORRY!

I made an edit a few days back on the sg Optimus page and didn’t realize that with the context of the image, it seemed like a George Floyd joke. I was trying to make a gag about Donald trump cuz I thought it was funny but I didn’t think about the fact that the image directly mirrored the incident. I take full responsibility for this and sincerely apologize, I hope I’m using this page right also! Yours truly, --Carno (talk) 12:48, 29 May 2023 (EDT)

Images

I don't know who to write to about it, but I saw you admonished me once about the images, so maybe you'll know something. If I have an image with an unnecessary background (e.g. Steeljaw Toy), can I upload this image to a graphics program and cut out the background? Thanks in advance for your answer
