Daniel in Kiss Players

The note at the bottom says exactly where the bit about Daniel being frozen comes from. The timeline. KP presented a massive timeline of the G1 Japanese cartoon continuity that was probably the geekiest thing ever. --ItsWalky 10:15, 30 January 2010 (EST)

I know what the note says, but if you look at the timeline...it's not mentioned anywhere. - Chris McFeely 10:37, 30 January 2010 (EST)

Aaarrgh, don't tell me that! I reference daniel's cryonic suspension in my Collectors' Club article.--Jimsorenson 11:27, 30 January 2010 (EST)

I believe it must be somewhere, because it was Swift who added it, wasn't it? And Swift is like Layla Miller, with all the knowing of stuff. - Chris McFeely 12:13, 30 January 2010 (EST)

Perhaps it was mentioned in passing in one of the radio dramas? If we go that route at least no one could argue that it wasn't since, shit, nobody's listened to those things. --DrSpengler 12:22, 30 January 2010 (EST)

I've got a Japanese site bookmarked that summarizes all of them, and although it is all google-translated, I can't find anything that even resembles a reference to Daniel. - Chris McFeely 12:31, 30 January 2010 (EST)

IIRC, there are actually two different published timelines. One was on the side of Autrooper's packaging, and I think the other was in the KissPlay/Teletraan Go! Go! compilation book... they varied on a few subtle details, IIRC. You may want to ask Swift to be sure. --Monzo 16:48, 2 February 2010 (EST)

Deathy's Resurrection

Wait, why are you counting that as a story page? Wouldn't it just fall under toy bio/toy catalog continuity, like the time BW Megatron got smacked around by BWII Galvatron? (For that manner, since I assume it was internally produced by Takara, I don't know if we can safely say the art is by Ban Magami...) --Monzo 16:48, 2 February 2010 (EST)

Oh, well, I didn't put it on that page, it was there already. Given that it can't really work continuity-wise with the other story pages, it probably should be moved somewhere else, but I'm not sure where. - Chris McFeely 16:51, 2 February 2010 (EST)

Oh, unless you were referring to the header its info has been given on the character pages, in which case - that was Spengs. :) *looks innocent* - Chris McFeely 16:54, 2 February 2010 (EST)

Henkei manga scans?

What would you do if I sent over scans of the remaining Henkei chapters? (Mind, I scanned them pretty high, so they're running 2-3 megs) --Lonegamer78 04:24, 18 February 2010 (EST)

I would smile broadly, then regret that there weren't summaries up yet so I could understand them properly. ;) - Chris McFeely 07:21, 18 February 2010 (EST)

But lest it not be apparent that I desperately desire these things - send away at them to gears_chatroom_god(at)hotmail.com ! - Chris McFeely 14:51, 19 February 2010 (EST)

Fast Action Jackson

Thanks for clarifying that only the first 3 waves of FABs were released in Japan and removing the fiction from the proper characters. But I have to ask, if Frenzy was released in Japan as an FAB, why'd you remove the fiction from his article? Also, should I go ahead and add the FAB/BW crossover fiction to *all* the characters who were released in the Telemocha line? Even...the BWII and Neo characters? Or just the ones on Energoa? --DrSpengler 20:23, 25 February 2010 (EST)

Oh, yeah, Frenzy wasn't either. I missed him and then went back. /:) I'm really not sure what to do about the BW characters, though... after all, the II and Neo characters wouldn't have been on Energoa... - Chris McFeely 20:26, 25 February 2010 (EST)

Ahhh. Gotcha. Thanks. As for the Telemocha dudes, I guess I'll add the info regularly to the Energoa guys, but for the likes of Gimlet, Motorarm and Cohrada, I'll just add something like "They may or may not have been transported back in time to Energoa to fight in the Beast Wars there against invading Autobots and Decepticons from another dimension" or something to that effect. With all the damn Blasty Zone time travel bullshit that goes on in the Japanese timeline, it probably isn't too out of the question that they went there for a second and came back somehow. --DrSpengler 21:08, 25 February 2010 (EST)

Last three Masterforce screencaps

Hey Chris, I believe these are the last three Masterforce screencaps that need descriptions added back in: Image:Parrot_and_armadillo.jpg, Image:Parrot_armadillo_headon.jpg, Image:Wilder_beastmode.jpg

I haven't been able to track down which episodes they're from, but I figured you might know offhand. :) --abates 08:03, 21 April 2010 (EDT)

Dah! Might have to think about one or two of those for a minute... nice work getting the MF ep articles illustrated!! - Chris McFeely 08:26, 21 April 2010 (EDT)

Thanks! Good to have that finished! --abates 15:59, 21 April 2010 (EDT)

Oh, I discovered I'd missed Image:Diver suiton.jpg too, but I haven't had any luck working out which episode it's from. --abates 04:12, 22 April 2010 (EDT)

Subgroup

I was looking at the page, and I'm genuinely shocked at how a fairly important section is abandoned. I'd have a go, but I can't decide on what style to do it in User:Eire Apr 22 15.56 2010

Thanks

Thanks for protecting those pages. It was funny because I was just going to propose them being protected! --NCZ 09:24, 7 July 2010 (EDT)

Clip show

Hey, Chris I have a G1 Headmasters clip show that does not appear anywhere, I tried to add it but you changed all that. What do I need to do to add it? - Crisdecal 09, July 2010.

The episode you were trying to add already has an article. Add the info there. - Chris McFeely 05:50, 9 July 2010 (EDT)

You don't understand. It's a completely different episode. It's not Headmasters episode 43. It's different. The title is even slightly different. I have most recap episodes and trust me, its not any of the ones here. - Crisdecal

That would be Masterforce, I think you mean, rather than Headmasters. Unless that's what's causing your confusion. And I think we would need to see some proof of this, because every episode list for Masterforce, up to an including those published in Japanese guidebooks, only includes 47 episodes. - Chris McFeely 06:27, 9 July 2010 (EDT)

Your right. I meant Masterforce. I've uploaded 2 pics to this site. I'm new to this site so how do I show them to you? -Crisdecal

It's okay, I can see them on the recent changes page. I'm not sure what I'm looking at there with the second image - that's a title card from a VICTORY DVD set. Why is a Masterforce episode on a Victory set? - Chris McFeely 06:34, 9 July 2010 (EDT)

That's how they are on the Pioneer LDC release. I recently came across this site in attempts to collect the recap episodes and in hunting down the recap episodes through the 'net I came across someone that sold me copies of the Pioneer LDC discs. What we both found is that the Masterforce recap episodes 43 & 44 are on the Masterforce disc 8; the Masterforce recap episode 47 and the one I'm telling you about is on the Victory Disc 6; the Headmasters recap episodes 36-38 are on Victory disc 7; and the Victory recap episodes 40-44 are on the Victory disc 8. -Crisdecal

Well, I have to say, that's the first I've heard of anything like that. You're sure these are the genuine articles? Because that seems like an odd sort of mix up. Not to say that I could imagine a new clip show could have been created for a bootleg, or anything, but I'm at a bit of a loss, because... well, there's never been any indicated of another Masterforce clip show, and for it to have basically the same title as another one... I think we need someone more knowledgeable than I, and probably one who speaks Japanese, to clarify this... - Chris McFeely 06:57, 9 July 2010 (EDT)

This is an original copy from the Pioneer LDC disc. I didn't believe it either until I was watching the recaps earlier tonight. I thought that the recap episode in question was also Masterforce episode 43. But you can tell there is a slight difference in the title and even the whole episode is different from all the other recaps. There is a narrator on this one and through out the whole episode each main characters title appears in large bold Japanese characters every time a new character is introduced. -Crisdecal

The central character in this clip show is of course Super Ginari showing him kick Decepticon butt. Let me know what comes about all of this -Crisdecal

Almanac II Annotations for Page 98

Would that text by Yoketron happen to read as "Musabetsu Kakuto Ryuu"? If so, it's a Ranma 1/2 reference- most often translated as "Anything Goes Martial Arts'. - Ayellowbirds 23:47, 15 July 2010 (EDT)

Oh! Oh, very well done, sir! :) - Chris McFeely 04:44, 16 July 2010 (EDT)

Unsolved anagrams

Just got these reponses from Forster, thought you might need them for the annotations:

"I was just looking at the Almanac Annotations, and saw a section labeled "Unsolved Anagrams" with a listing for a "Baron Ye Gult". I was wondering if it was perhaps "Tonya Bulger" Updated Answer: I originally answered the question incorrectly. I thought you asked about 'Friar Ilia Tote'. So if anyone read that and was confused, its because I was asleep at the wheel. 'Baron Ye Gult' is my friend Albert Young. Albert is a big sports fan and goes dancing in clubs, but I am his friend anyway.

Another anagram: Is "Dankly Woolens" supposed to be "Kendall Swoony"? Sorry if these have been solved and just not posted to the annotations. Kelly Woods, my kid sister. I didn't expect people to get all the anagrams. They were mostly just me having fun."

Given the letters used, I'm going to assume that Kelly's middle name is Ann. --Khajidha 11:02, 28 July 2010 (EDT)

D'oh!

I must have been thinking of Return of. Thanks for the correction! --abates 22:01, 13 September 2010 (EDT)

Character box Victory clipshow

For "Echo Across the Galaxy! Bell of Love!!", there's two (2)-entries and two (27)-entries. I've tried finding the episode on youtube, but came out empty-handed. Think you could fix this, and, while you are at it, perhaps add Jean's other classmate to the list if he appears in the clipshow? Geewunling 08:08, 31 October 2010 (EDT)

ohhh

thanks how do i get photoshop?Robo killa 08:49, 4 December 2010 (EST)

You buy it. --Detour 09:42, 4 December 2010 (EST)

i.e: that Archtransit dude

I wouldn't be surprised if he was this dude. ---Blackout- 10:37, 5 December 2010 (EST)

Request

Could you please ban me? I don't plan on contributing here any further. ---Blackout- 11:02, 4 February 2011 (EST)

Vandalism

Hi, we have Kremzeek going on another hissy fit. Since you're the most recently online admin I saw, could you please block him? Thanks. -- SFH 12:24, 5 February 2011 (EST)

I think most of the ongoing waves of vandals are actually Blackout, this edit all but confirms it. --Khajidha 12:57, 7 February 2011 (EST)

Takara G1 Collection DVDs from Shout! Factory

[1] Since you seem to be something of an expert on Headmasters/Masterforce/Victory/Zone, I figured this might interest you. --Sabrblade 14:59, 15 February 2011 (EST)

Ingrid's relationship to Carter Newell in Nefarious

I noticed that you mentioned in the synopsis to Nefarious issue 6 and in Fortress (ROTF)'s fiction writeup that Ingrid is Newell's niece. I haven't been able to find a mention of what their relationship is in the comic, so I was wondering where that's from. --abates 17:09, 20 February 2011 (EST)

Well... um... huh. Looking back over the issues, I can't find it either. Geez. I must have... made it up? Wow, that's weird. Checked the "previously" pages in the individual issues and it's not there either... nothing on Furman's blog... yeah, shit, I guess that was just me. - Chris McFeely 18:57, 20 February 2011 (EST)

My bumper!

You are correct, sir. Have a cookie. --M Sipher 21:29, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

*nom nom nom nom* - Chris McFeely 21:55, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

Now, as for Flashpoint... you're almost there, but there's one more homage-point you've missed! CAN HE FIND IT? (Actually, the Energon Inferno thing is a coincidence, heh, since movie Inferno has the bronze/gold grill too.) --M Sipher 21:56, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

Decoys

Great stuff, McFeely. It's always awesome when we get a ton of information about something I basically don't know anything about. With pictures! -LV 14:45, 31 March 2011 (EDT)

Japanese trading cards

Seen this? --Monzo 12:29, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

Indeed I have! It is not an easy list to interpret, but I'm using it where I can! - Chris McFeely 12:48, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

Ahh, neat.

Also, re: online translators - you may want to cross-check whatever you've been using the Google one for with Babelfish and Infoseek Japan, which both use different translation algorithms from Google Translate. (To translate a webpage with Infoseek rather than a text block, go here, insert URL where appropriate, check the two rightmost radial buttons, and hit the button to the right of the URL input.) Possibly you know about this already too, but eh. --Monzo 17:13, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

Live-action film series Cybertron

I haven't seen either movie, but I get from the articles Cybertron was not shown in them. Could you confirm this and perhaps answer if this piece of concept art was ever used canonically before John Barber wrote it into the Foundation comics? Geewunling 16:08, 26 June 2011 (EDT)

Nah, you see that landscape in a brief holographic vision in the first film. - Chris McFeely 16:40, 26 June 2011 (EDT)

I see. Care to add that info to the page? Geewunling 08:58, 27 June 2011 (EDT)

mirage

could you add [[Image:TF3 Mirage.jpg|100px|this picture]] to the Mirage (Movie) article? I just created a account and it's semi-protected. thanks --Cavaliere 06:51, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

I'm not sure if we have a place for this particular picture on Mirage's article yet, but we can keep it handy until the page is updated fully and see if we can get some use out of it. - Chris McFeely 08:35, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

could you put it near the notes section? --Cavaliere 08:41, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

FLAANG

FLAANG -LV 12:43, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

In less useless news, why do we do that? That seems very strange. Also, that means somebody has to go fix my Ratchet and Space Case issue writeups. Probably me. Dammit. -LV 12:46, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Writing up the events of a book or film or episode in present-tense is pretty much the literary standard. The foofy answer is that as isolated entities, they are "assumed to exist in an eternal present". - Chris McFeely 12:53, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Well, live and learn, I guess. Thanks. -LV 12:56, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

It's a debate that was had a bit back in the old days! - Chris McFeely 12:57, 9 July 2011 (EDT)

Super Collection Figure images

You uploaded the SCF image for Ginrai ages ago and noted in the description that it originally came from the My Kool Toyz site. Now there's some other SCF images in Category:Image import error which I presume you also uploaded. Can I safely tag them all as coming from the same site? --abates 23:25, 14 July 2011 (EDT)

Giving it a quick look over, I do believe you may! - Chris McFeely 03:44, 15 July 2011 (EDT)

Awesome, thanks! --abates 04:49, 15 July 2011 (EDT)

Shockwave Image

Hello, this is Jedijam91. I am one of the users from Teletraan 1. I noticed that the image on this wiki for Shockwave is his depiction in DOTM. Because of our image policies at Teletraan 1 I cannot simply post the same picture that you have and I was wondering if you could lend me the image for its use on Teletraan 1. Our image is horribly outdated, its his depiction from the 2007 movie console game. 208.104.218.26 21:28, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

As that's a promotional render of Shockwave and not "ours" per se, you're perfectly okay to use it. :) - Chris McFeely 06:09, 4 August 2011 (EDT)

Atari fusion image

Could you upload a version of Image:Kissplay1 atari fuses.jpg that contains the prevous panel of Atari and Ne-04 in silouette? A less clear version of the image that does contain the silhouette is currently up for deletion and I'd rather not choose which aspect I find more important. Geewunling 04:13, 12 September 2011 (EDT)

Sorted! - Chris McFeely 14:25, 12 September 2011 (EDT)

Thank you! Geewunling 14:57, 13 September 2011 (EDT)

I thought Barricade did speak!

You can clearly hear him say "You, your time is up. Move it.". The "remember me" line is speculation. As for Bonecrusher, we do hear him say "no" before being beheaded and his voice actor is credited. --68.32.145.39 14:37, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

Yes. Those are the lines that Frank Welker did in his Soundwave voice, which have either through error or just-plain-not-caringness wound up applied to Barricade. - Chris McFeely 16:00, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

Wikipedia

I think I've seen you before on Wikipedia. I'm just curious. I used to edit there myself, and I saw your name there before. Is that you?71.255.162.136 00:36, 15 October 2011 (EDT)

Oh yeah, that would've been me all right. Edited a lot of the Transformers articles there before the habits of certain editors became too much to be bothered with, so when TFWiki started up I hopped on over! - Chris McFeely 04:46, 15 October 2011 (EDT)

I also see your a huge Transformers fan. I'm also a huge fan myself. The same happens to me. When I make an edit, they say it's too in-universe or 100% plot dump, and then they revert it. I think this is the right place for me, so I think I'll also make an account for myself as well.71.255.162.136 12:04, 15 October 2011 (EDT)

Strikas identity issue

hey, do u know which one is Strika in this pic? purple or pink, cuz it'd make more sense if it was the pink one in the pic please inform & by the way how was it confirmed that this was Strika anyway?

Yeah, it's the pink one. Was confirmed in... "Flames of Yesterday", I think. - Chris McFeely 07:20, 17 October 2011 (EDT)

Quick suggestion...

...could you teach your pet fucktard here that if all he plans to do with his time is do nothing but revert the edits of others more or less because he feels like it, his time might be better spent leaping from the roof of an office building?

Thanks. 70.77.36.81 20:54, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
