Disambiguation

Uh, the 2007 line was also just "Transformers". And so was the latter end of the original toyline. —Interrobang 19:25, 15 February 2010 (EST)

Yeah, if we're following this line of naming, this has to go at Transformers (2010 toyline), akin to Universe (2008 toyline). --ItsWalky 19:36, 15 February 2010 (EST)

Separate movie and non-movie figures?

Shoudl we separate the Movie and non-Movie figures apart so as to not confuse which characters are and aren't Movie ones? Like, perhaps put all those under the "Hunt for the Decepticons" subline in one list, and those that aren't in a second list. Or, if that's too much trouble, then perhaps we could somehow label those that are Movie/HftD figures to identify them? --Sabrblade 19:15, 7 March 2010 (EST)

At the moment, I think all of them are under the HftD subline so far, but that'll likely change when that promotion is over. And, man, IF we could separate these guys by continuity, that'd actually be really great, and I wouldn't be pulling my friggin' hair out. But we really don't know, besides the Obviously Movie Guys Because They're In The Movie. --ItsWalky 19:17, 7 March 2010 (EST)
Heh, got it. Hasbro sure loves "toying" with us, don't they. --Sabrblade 19:22, 7 March 2010 (EST)
There ARE guys with Movie-style symbols and guys with normal-style symbols, but just like in previous lines, the factory isn't always really great with giving toys the desired one 100% of the time. So that's... really gray. --ItsWalky 19:26, 7 March 2010 (EST)

Really, REALLY confused...

How is a toyline that is "a general celebration of Transformers" (ie THIS one) different from one that "aims to recreate older Transformers characters as new toys and celebrate the history of the brand" (Generations)? Is there ANY possibility that this is another case of Speed Stars/Action Fleet type confusion? Are we talking about the same toyline with two different names here? 199.90.28.195 10:35, 10 March 2010 (EST)
