On the few packages I could find that had the term (some G1 and MW boxes), it was conspicuously capitalized. So I've used "Tech Specs" when talking about the actual technical-specifications chart, and I've used "tech specs" for the casual definition of the whole bio/art/TS group.

Also, I heartily encourage fact-checking, especially in the Armada part. I have confidence in everything I wrote, but not much evidence to back it up (especially the Hasbro-misunderstanding rumor). And my knowledge only becomes shakier after that, so I stopped myself for good measure.

If I had more time, I'd do some more digging with regards to the quirks of G1 Tech-Speckery, like the different categories for the Micromaster teams, or the specific ratings on the Headmaster toys. But I don't, so I invite anybody who's interested to go for it. - Jackpot 18:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

When in doubt, mark a section with {{fact}} (a request for a supporting citation) indicating you think this is right, but you're unsure enough that you'd appreciate a concrete example. -Derik 20:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

There were Energon Bio trading cards with some of the toys. Oddly, my Jetfire had a tech spec card and a bio card. Just mentioning. --Chiasaur11

That was actually something that seemed to vary from shipment to shipment. Some had one, some had the other, some had both. I've seen different pack-ins even for the same toy.--Rosicrucian 20:33, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
I really stopped paying attention to Tech Spec stuff around that time, so if you want to throw Energon info in there, be my guest. Also, I don't know when they started printing 'em on the packaging again, but if anyone else knows, that'd be good to have in there too. - Jackpot 20:42, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Believe they started ending up on the packaging again as of Cybertron. I remember amassing a nice little stack of tech spec cards from Energon, then being disappointed that Cybertron lacked them.--Rosicrucian 21:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
