I think I love Kil's bio write-ups. They're... punchy.-Derik 05:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
For future reference, Kil, when there's a simple but repetitive task like fixing those continuity notes that needs to be done, just leave me a message and I will have User:DiagnosticDrone do it. Less effort, and also the edits will be hidden from the changes page since he is a bot. --Steve-o 04:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

The Mechanoids/Drones -> Drones changes are complete. --Steve-o 19:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
"unused" nicknames
Those were actually published in some digest things. Also, the only reason I was adding tose names in with the others is because of the precedence. The names from Bob's '84 Tech Spec chart were added in with the forgin names over a year ago. --FortMax 03:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC) link
- Not ALL of the nicknames were published - and, likewise, there was at least one published (Starscream as "The Silver Snake") which wasn't part of the first infodump post on the AllSpark. I think it needs to be examined which ones were and weren't published.
- And... some guilt to admit. I was the one who began putting prelim names in with the foreign names, but in retrospect I've come to regret this. I think, now, that preliminary names and these nicknames need to go in Trivia sections, if only so context for them can be explained. --Monzo 03:42, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- Preliminary names being up front like that I get. But nicknames like "Cool Hand Lube" that the characters are never actually called by anyone? Those, I think, clearly belong in the Trivia section. --KilMichaelMcC 03:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Seriously, look at Ratchet's page. The first thing after you see after his bio is "Nicknames: Cool Hand Lube, Greasefinger." That makes no sense to me at all, as these are not really nicknames the character has in any stories. It doesn't belong there. --KilMichaelMcC 03:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
