This article should be renamed, but I'm undecided on the better way to go.  The current name is no good because it's an adjective.  Possible renames are "Die-cast metal" or "Die-casting".  I kind of prefer the latter, since even "die-cast metal" is sort of unspecific.  You can cast a lot of different metals in a die.  Also, the first sentence needs to be rewriten, since die-cast is not a type of metal, but I figure we may as well wait until a new article title is decided upon. --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 03:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

This article should be renamed, but I'm undecided on the better way to go. The current name is no good because it's an adjective. Possible renames are "Die-cast metal" or "Die-casting". I kind of prefer the latter, since even "die-cast metal" is sort of unspecific. You can cast a lot of different metals in a die. Also, the first sentence needs to be rewriten, since die-cast is not a type of metal, but I figure we may as well wait until a new article title is decided upon. --Steve-o 03:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Die-cast in Transformers, covering both hit's hsitorical uses, attitudes towards, and in-jokes about. DC is still short for 'die cast metal,' but that's a common shortening. Spell it out more explicitly in the opening sentence. -Derik 04:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
