Premium OP pic

Ok, I replaced it and re-uploaded it. It is now Image:Premium_movie_OP.jpg.

Thanks for pointing me to that page!--Skyglide 20:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Bumper Battler Jazz

It exists. Hasbro updated their website. Here's a link --70.190.251.10 03:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC) ... Which doesn't work. Damn. --70.190.251.10 03:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

It also means we now have official images of Animated Grimlock's toy. Joy. -- SFH 04:14, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Monacoizing templates

Hi -- I saw that you "Monacoized" some templates... What was happening to the existing templates? I'm surprised that there were problems -- as far as I know, what happens in the content space should be exactly the same no matter what skin you're using. So I want to figure out whether this is a Transformers problem, or a global Wikia problem. -- Danny<staff /> (talk) 15:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Lines through picture frames

Okay, I'm glad to know that the template problem was fixable. While we're on the subject, do you know why header lines seem to go through the picture frames here? I haven't seen that on any other wiki -- I think it's something in the Transformers css that's making the frames not wrap correctly. Do you know anything about that? -- Danny<staff /> (talk) 19:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Why was my edit labeled "caption bastardry"?KrytenKoro 05:22, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Because it did nothing but shuffle the captions, and you're an editor who is relatively new and hasn't contributed much yet. As such, it's the general practice of this Wiki to revert people who do that until they're a bit better known and have contributed more. The term "caption bastardry" has stuck due to the template that Derik cooked up for talkpage notices for chronic abusers of it.--Rosicrucian^Talk 05:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Rise of the Constructicons

Where did you get the information on the number of CC's? I'm not saying your wrong or anything, I'm just wondering because it hasn't been shown yet and I'm not buying that whole "show in asia" first part. (Fossilgojira 00:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC))

Yes it hasn't shown yet. However, there being only two Constructicons has been confirmed for some time.--Rosicrucian^Talk 00:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

It has been shown in the Middle East. The actual problem is that all information is second-hand and we have no way to verify it. —Interrobang 00:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Figures; And I knew that Scrapper and MM where already confirmed( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnG0YHmJ0Ys ) , I just don't know where the original leak was from. And why the middle east of all places, are you sure your source is right? (Fossilgojira 00:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC))

It's not like the middle east hasn't gotten stuff before North America and Europe before. Red Powerlinx Thrust anyone? --FortMax 01:15, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Plus they were confirmed in late 2007/maybe januari 2008 on transformersanimated.com,well,scrapper anyway. But nobody went to that site for news yet.86.87.28.191 18:30, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

That's a fansite operated by Transformers@the moon.--Rosicrucian^Talk 18:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

It had a screencap of scrapper way back in Januari or so anyway.86.87.28.191 06:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Blurr

Yes, but there's not only the animated series that confirms him. We also have the author blog, which is an official source as well.KrytenKoro 18:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Yah I know

Yah I wasnt trying to make you all think I was Floro Dery. Im just ,makin a joke aboot how he does that thing with user names ,and forums ,and message boards. Im just a 14 year old Transfan with an odd sence of humor. Its no big deal. Its just a joke. And yah I never payed attention to punctuation and spelling ,I mean come on its the internet.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Imnotflorodery (talk • contribs) 00:05, 27 May 2008.

Lockdown

I am sorry that you dont like the list I added to Lockdowm's profile. I am new to this Wiki and I wanted to try somthing.

Animated Cast Page

I'm sorry that it seemed like I was getting into an edit war - Lockdown didn't seem to fit the criteria given for "guests", and so I was trying to place him in an appropriate category and make a compromise.

Constructicons - at the one time I called it as hypocrisy, there was nothing indicating that one-shot characters could be moved out of the Guest category if they had a sub-group, much less that the sub-group had been named at that point. It had nothing to do with "wanting to seem savvy", and honestly seemed like hypocrisy to me. Once the reasoning was explained, you'll notice that I tried to do the same with Blurr once, and then dropped it, once the details of the reasoning was explained.

Blurr - while it may have been "revealed" in the Dubai episodes, there are other sources than that (the blog by Wyatt), and that is what I was basing those on - and once the rationale for excluding that source was explained to me, you'll notice that I stopped (though honestly, if the rationale for leaving him out of the Elite Guard is that that hasn't been confirmed in-show yet, he shouldn't even be on the list, since he hasn't had a speaking role). As soon as the reason that Dubai info could not be revealed, even on talk pages, was explained to me, I stopped adding that info as well.

Starscream Clones - I explained that I added those (who were not spoilers) because they did have speaking roles and unique character sheets, and that they "might" not all be voiced by Tom Kenny.

I even reverted a few who were adding info that was truly spoilers, such as edit, and I don't believe the edits I made after that point be considered "spoilers" or even "edit warring", as I immediately tried to explain my edit and reach a compromise with the other editor. Honestly, most of my edits that you seem to interpret as me being a jackass are just me not knowing the unwritten rules of such articles - as soon as these things are explained to me, I comply, and if even that is a problem, I try to find compromise.

So, I'm sorry if I seemed like I was trying to spoil you guys (I'm used to wiki's where foreign language info is snapped up as soon as it appears, I honestly thought I was helping), and I just wanted to explain the actions which you seemed to have such a problem with, so that I can go back to editing without people hating me. Truce?KrytenKoro 06:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

How is the fact Starscream has clones not a spoiler? A single clone- sure- that's obvious when viewing A Fistful of Energon- but seeing lots of edits (and I've seen plenty) in the recent changes for clones plural ruins the surprise at te end of the episode if you didn't notice that the second one (who was acting in-character) has a slightly different color scheme.

There were two clones in FoE. The episode has aired in Canada, the US and the UK. The "hot" clone had a colour scheme just as obviously different as the purple one as soon as he touched down in front of the Autobots. If you were genuinely ignorant of the Dubai airings, you wouldn't even think twice - you're second-guessing based on info you "shouldn't" have.

Your reasoning has failed. Have a nice day. - SanityOrMadness 17:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I had the ending to Autoboot camp ruined for me-- despite avoiding any articles for Animated characters that were getting edits that day because someone posted a new section on a talk page with the Big Spoiler as the title-- and thus it shows up in the Recent Changes page for everyone to see. It's about as tactful as posting on a messageboard SPOILER VADER IS LUKE'S DAD! It doesn't matter that you marked it as a spoiler- the fact it's in the subjectline makes it impossible to not see. Just like the Arr-Tard who let everyone see "Elita-1 (Animated) had been redirected to Black Arachnia (Animated)".

Some edits, by the very nature of doing them are in fact spoilers. I accept that I'm gonna see activity on the wiki that might spoil who the major characters are in a new episode-- but I also expect that other editors will exercise some basic consideration to avoid slapping their dicks in my face with major spoilers!

You don't have to be the first one to add Heath Ledger's death-date to Wikipedia. A cast page is a list, it will not suffer from the lack of in-depth attention dozens of users can give it if you wait a week to add new characters to it.

Consider for a moment that most of the frequent editors on this wiki are fans too, and would like to be able to enjoy the episodes without having to live in the UK, or constantly refresh mininova waiting for the encode to come up. I downloaded Autoboot Camp 3 hours after the torrent went up, and I still got spoiled by an inconsiderate user before the download ended. -Derik 10:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

And I apologize for that edit. That one was made before I learned that unlike wikipedia, the policy was not just spoiler warnings but a complete absence of the info - and even then, I posted that it was a spoiler notice, without including any of the spoiler info in the edit comment.

Also, if I had known that having the clones on the cast page at all was considered a spoiler, I would not have put them there, but that was never stated as a reason to take them off - what was stated was that they were one time characters who wouldn't come back.KrytenKoro 17:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Dude, your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired. I said that those specific two clones you kept insisting should go on the cast page were one time characters because they were living bombs that Starscream detonated. I'm frankly sick and tired of you trying to rules lawyer this wiki when our guidelines aren't that complicated at all.--Rosicrucian^Talk 18:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

...what? I'm saying that "the characters are spoilers" was never a reason that you gave for the characters not to be there - that you said it was about them being bombs, that they were one-off characters, and that they wouldn't be reappearing. The only time that I know of that I did anything approaching "rules lawyering" was with Blurr and Lockdown - the first of which I immediately accepted the reasoning against, and the second I tried to reach compromise on. I'm trying to explain why I did what I had done and apologize.KrytenKoro 02:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
