User talk:Hooper X
What exactly is upsetting you, again? Singularity 07:11, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- The ridiculous arbitrariness of your naming schema, most specifically your need to make a very simple system unnecessarily complex. Hooper X 07:12, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- You mean like moving stuff from "(UT)" to "(Unicron Trilogy)", of which... you seem to agree with (I don't particularly care for the "(Armada)" or "(Unicron Trilogy)" deal). Or "(cartoon)" to "(television series)" which is hardly complicated, nor does it particularly harm anybody (removes the fuzzy line between "animated series" and "comic"). It also streamlines it with the category and the constant references to "television series".
Or, uh, what? Singularity 07:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)- I've actually kind of gone over to the other camp that, as long as there's a unified acronym for each era, the acronyms are considerably easier to use. Hooper X 07:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- That doesn't really help the peope who don't know what the acronyms stand for (Dirge (T)? UT? C'mon.) or the acronym is already taken (Hey, Bowel Machines.). Singularity 07:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
- That's why we put the Unified Abbreviation System in the [[[Style Guide]]. Duh. Hooper X 05:04, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

SO I DON'T FORGET
potential questions for hasbro in the future:
(for the entire TF team) The TF brand has presented hundreds, if not thousands of weird and wonderful characters over the last 25 years. Who are, respectively, your most and least favorite characters from TF history? (C'mon, be honest. We'll understand if you secretly hate Grapple.)- similar question, except about concepts: which concepts from TF history would you most like to bring back? which one would you be glad to never see again?
- Over the years, the TF brand has featured many fun and memorable play features, from rub signs to triple changers to Action Masters. For the entire TF team: What are your favorite play gimmicks?
- We know that due to changes in toy safety laws, we're never getting a realistic hand-gun Megatron ever again. We've heard that the "spark-shooting" action found on some G1 toys is a similar situation. Can you confirm that the spark-shooting feature is no longer a possibility? Are there any other "classic" gimmicks we're unlikely to see in the future because of legal/safety concerns?
- The unreleased Robot Heroes "Dessaras" figure - why was that name chosen? Did "Deathsaurus" fail to clear legal or were there other concerns (retailers/parents/children not wanting to buy a toy with the word "Death" in its name, "Deathsaurus" being an admittedly goofy moniker, etc.)
- In regards to store exclusives, how much input does the retail partner have into the finished product? Is it "give us X figures at price point Y" or is it more hands-on than that - "give us an Autobot car and a Decepticon jet, and the Autobot should be in such-and-such a color scheme..."
* At one point near the end of the Alternators sub-line, a major retailer's computer system listed several toys that never saw the light of day - Megatron as a Cadillac, as well as repaints of the Scion and Mustang molds. Who were the Scion and Mustang intended to be, if they even got to that stage of development?
- (for the entire TF team) Theoretical question: If you could make a Transformer toy of anything in the world that hasn't ALREADY been a Transformers toy, what would it be? You can be as specific (1973 AMC Javelin AMX in Big Bad Blue, The General Lee) or as general (school bus, tractor) as you wish.
- Based on past releases, it seems to be possible to somehow repair older molds to restore detail lost with age - specifically, the G1 Jazz mold appears to have had its face detail repaired somehow. Are there limits to how much damage can be repaired, or is it just a matter of whether it's economically feasible to repair a mold?
- Recent releases of the Classics Starscream mold seem to be showing some degree of mold wear and tear from use. Are there any plans to repair or re-cut the mold to restore its clarity?
- Regarding the larger, transformable, Titanium Series figures: Is it theoretically possible to manufacture these figures using plastic instead of die-cast, or would using plastic potentially limit the durability, integrity, or stability of the finished product?
* Can you guys please ask around over at Tomy and find out who's writing the story materials for the Alternity line? There are a bunch of great callouts to U.S. fiction going on over there, and we'd like to give credit where credit is due. NEVER MIND.
