Cache files

Hey, do you still have the cache files you saved? I noticed that numbers 2117 to 2189 (Drift (episode) to Eco-structuring) weren't in the zip file Scout made available. --abates 03:27, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

As a matter of fact I do. I downloaded 2103 to 2190 on a different computer and apparently never got them copied over to my main cache directory. I could've sworn I at least tried to do it. Anyway, I apologize letting that slip by and thank you for catching it. I uploaded a zip file of the full group (in case the other saves are needed) to Scout's ftp as well as my own site here:
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/tfmedia/2103-2118.zip
The link won't work because my hosting company blocks hotlinking. But if you copy and paste the URL, it'll work. --Tigerpaw28 12:23, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

Fantastic! I'll go through that this morning and see if any of the articles need updating. --abates 16:59, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

And all done! --abates 19:27, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

Cool! Wish I could get through stuff as fast as you do. (I'm still working on those 131 cache files)--Tigerpaw28 01:18, 29 March 2009 (EDT)

[[wikia:*]]

Don't make/change links to [[wikia:*]]. If you absolutely NEED to do the link, do it as an external link (i.e., [http://*.wikia.com/*], since that triggers a rel="nofollow" and thus doesn't give them googlejuice. - SanityOrMadness 18:29, 17 September 2009 (EDT)

Sorry about that. I thought read on the Community Portal somewhere that all the links are set to have rel="nofollow" by default. Outside Wikilinks must not fall under that then? --Tigerpaw28 18:37, 17 September 2009 (EDT)

Other way around - any single square bracket (external/full URL) link *is* set to have rel="nofollow". Any double square bracket link (internal/partial URL), including ones to other wikis such as [[Wikipedia:*]], [[Wiktionary:*]] and [[Wikia:*]], *doesn't* have the nofollow set. - SanityOrMadness 18:51, 17 September 2009 (EDT)

Franchise Navigation

Thanks for updating the nav boxes. Could you do the Playschool Go-Bots (toyline) as well? Khajidha 08:18, 27 October 2009 (EDT)

Your wish is my command.com. --Tigerpaw28 00:56, 28 October 2009 (EDT)

1985

Just wanted to give you props for the edit comment. cracked me up. --G1MarvelBlaster 23:41, 8 November 2009 (EST)

Thanks! It seemed so ridiculously appropriate and humorous I couldn't help but use it. --Tigerpaw28 00:08, 9 November 2009 (EST)

Alliance VHS tapes

Hey, could you be a bit more specific about which eps are on each Alliance Atlantis tape? At the moment it says that the first release contains episodes 1 to 11, which I'm pretty sure can't be right. Is there somewhere online that lists details like this? (Other than Raksha's Artifacts page, which only covers G1.) Also, the DVD date(s) came from Amazon CA. I don't know if they're right, but that's the most accurate source I know of, and the one (inc. Amazon UK and US) that I use for all my more-recent release date info. If you know of a more reliable source, don't keep it to yourself. - Magnus Maximus 03:20, 11 December 2009 (EST)

I'll redo the episode listings, no problem. I was under the impression that the tapes contained 5 sequential episodes with no gaps in the episode order, because the one I own (Optimus Lives!) does that. My main source for the info on these is Rockman's Robots In Disguise www.tfrid.com. In addition to the TF picture section that has the cover images, the for sale section has links for purchasing the videos from Videoflicks. That site is defunct, but you can put the links into the Wayback Machine and get the pages. Their dates for the VHS tapes put them several years prior to the Amazon.ca dates, which corresponds to posts I've found on alt.toys.transformers discussing the tapes as early as 1997. To be fair, I do have more confidence in the DVD dates. Figured it'd be good to see if I could find something to back the Amazon dates. --Tigerpaw28 11:41, 11 December 2009 (EST)

Norwegian Transformers Cybertron Promo

Since you've done a lot of work on the commercial page, I thought I'd ask if you've seen this yet:

Optimus Gets Funky

--Monzo 16:40, 2 February 2010 (EST)

I know I previously came across the dancing Optimus Prime animation, it was posted by the animator responsible for it. I don't think I ever found the full thing though, and forgot about it entirely by the time I went to do the international page. Either way, I've downloaded it off YouTube in case it gets deleted and I'll add it to the International Commercial page as soon as I get a chance. Thanks Monzo. --Tigerpaw28 12:55, 3 February 2010 (EST)

1988

Really? You want someone to have to cite proof that the Small Headmasters were 1988 toys? --ItsWalky 23:28, 16 February 2010 (EST)

Obviously they were released in the US in 1988. However, the anon added them to the list of EUROPEAN releases. Our own page on the subject does not list them as known European releases. If you or one of our other regular editors had added it, I wouldn't have questioned it so much. But I don't trust that type of info coming from an anon without some sort of source. I figured they were most likely mistakenly assuming Europe got everything we did, or not realizing that was the European section. --Tigerpaw28 00:23, 17 February 2010 (EST)

Aha. --ItsWalky 00:24, 17 February 2010 (EST)

Telemocha

Hey, Tigerpaw? I want to archive those Telemocha Diorama Story videos you put up, but the youtube-grabber I prefer to use isn't recognizing the URLs. Would you be able to toss them up in a .zip/rar to megaupload or something? --Monzo 18:23, 28 February 2010 (EST)

No problemo Monzo. Would you want the uncompressed DVD rips (Mpeg video, around 230MB apiece) or just the compressed versions (AVI video, around 20MB apiece)? As for your grabber, it isn't working because I have the videos set to private. Wanted to keep it to just Wiki editors. --Tigerpaw28 19:11, 28 February 2010 (EST)

Ahh... I guess the 230mb versions. Sorry for the delay in responding. --Monzo 21:05, 8 March 2010 (EST)

That's okay. I actually wondered if I was checking up too soon. Anyway, here's TM-01 Convoy to start. I'll work on uploading TM-02 through TM-12 after I get out of class tomorrow/later today. I can upload the DX's once they come in the mail (likely after Interrobang gets his), but I'm holding off on getting Motorarm for the moment. --Tigerpaw28 02:23, 9 March 2010 (EST)

TM-02 TM-03 TM-04 TM-05 and TM-06 --Tigerpaw28 22:02, 11 March 2010 (EST)

Should have had these up long ago, sorry about that. TM-07, TM-08, TM-09, TM-10, TM-11, and TM-12. I'm going to try and have the two DX chapters up by the end of the weekend. --Tigerpaw28 01:03, 20 August 2010 (EDT)

G2 logo scans

I've scanned both G2 logos from my Laser Prime box. I don't have much experience in photo editing, so someone else will need to clean these up.

http://tfwiki.net/~fortmax/random/JG2Compact.jpg http://tfwiki.net/~fortmax/random/JG2Long.jpg --FortMax 14:19, 25 September 2010 (EDT)

Ah, thank you very much sir. I have some experience but not enough for this. I've posted a request for clean-up help in the Allspark Wiki thread, so hopefully somebody will see that and be able to do the clean up. --Tigerpaw28 23:38, 26 September 2010 (EDT)

BW Commercials

Do you still have the video files of the BW commercials you've uploaded to youtube? Brian Ward's trying to get the best versions of the commercials for Shout's DVD set. If you need a place to put them, and can't use Megaupload, come to #wiigii! on irc.nightstar.net, DCC them to me, and I'll put them on my webspace. If you don't use IRC, I'll see if Scout can set you up with a FTP account on the wiki, or give you my password. --FortMax 16:27, 19 March 2011 (EDT)

I've actually been trying to get in contact with Brian about this but my emails don't seem to be getting through. I'll go ahead and upload my personal rips to MegaUpload, but Brian might have wanted me to send the original tape for the TM2 Ultras ad since I offered. --Tigerpaw28 16:48, 19 March 2011 (EDT)

If you could send me the links, I'll get them onto my piece of the wiki server.
