Do we add the Wing Team being Decepticons in everything due to us only having those pictures? --ZacAttack (talk) 19:00, 4 February 2021 (EST)

Adding to that, Streetwise's personality in Timelines? --ZacAttack (talk) 19:04, 7 March 2021 (EST)

I know there's no write-up yet so forgive me if I'm taking this the wrong way, but are 3rd party toys being used for Lost Light vehicle models really an example of citogenesis? -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:53, 7 March 2021 (EST)

If the artist wasn't aware that they based an image off of an unofficial product, I'd say it counts as citogenesis. Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 20:58, 7 March 2021 (EST)

But the concept of citogenesis, at least to my understanding, is that misinformation on the wiki becomes official information because it was on the wiki. Using third party toys as character models is a whole other thing. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 16:16, 9 March 2021 (EST)

That's why it's listed under "Non-TFWiki references". If an artist isn't fully aware of what is 3P and what isn't when searching for reference images on Google, then it's an easy mistake. Transformers citogenesis—from what I have seen at least—isn't exclusive to the wiki, as Hasbro and its affliates are well-known to use Googled images for reference material. Hasbro really needs a proper archive lol. Fanofcoolstuff27 (talk) 17:16, 9 March 2021 (EST)

Are other people allowed to add to this? I'm thinking of making the Igu/ Igu S section, but I'm not sure if that's against rules. --ZacAttack (talk) 06:55, 20 May 2021 (EDT)
