Talk:Transformers Vault
The Australian version is published by Ice Water Press and features a different cover (slipcase has a bit Autobot logo, and on the cover itself is a Decepticon logo.) --FFN 05:21, 29 May 2011 (EDT)
Is there any point in saying the images of G1 Prime and Megs are from the Shout factory DVDs? Because they're just stock Hasbro licensing images. Also, how did we know Andrew Griffith drew them? --FFN 14:22, 5 June 2011 (EDT)
- You know, I was going to say "because he drew all the covers to the Shout Factory DVDs", but I've just checked his DeviantArt and he actually doesn't credit himself with the first season set. I've asked him about the artist behind the Prime and Megs images. - Chris McFeely 15:51, 5 June 2011 (EDT)
- Ah, you are quite right sir, they weren't Griffith's - they are indeed Hasbro stock images used for the first season DVD cover, which he then emulated for the subsequent sets. They're by Don Fig - which actually was what I originally speculated before looking up the DVDs, because of those stupid motherfucking "high heels" he's been insistent on giving G1 Prime since DW's MTMTE. - Chris McFeely 09:17, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
Page name
Why isn't this just "Transformers:Vault"? To me that long rambling mess looks less like a subtitle of the book than a hype blurb. Kind of like the "the world's greatest comic mag" on the cover of Fantastic Four. --Khajidha 09:46, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
- It is a subtitle, just look at the Abrams page. - Starfield 10:55, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
- Even so. It remains a rambling mess that's just unnecessary to have as a full title. - Chris McFeely 10:58, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
- The Abrams page has "Transformers Vault" for a page title (the one that appears in the browser title bar). --abates 16:38, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
- I don't particularly mind the title and would like to point out that we have Exodus: The Official History of the War for Cybertron and The Ark: A Complete Compendium of Character Designs. —Interrobang 16:46, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
- And yet we don't have Ghosts of Yesterday: The Official Prequel to the Upcoming Blockbuster Film or Transformers Legends: The First Ever Collection of Transformers Stories. --abates 16:54, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
- Ah, well. Pick either style and be consistent, I guess. —Interrobang 17:06, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
- Do have to say, I did always think Exodus and The Ark's article titles were overlong. - Chris McFeely 17:41, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
- The official title of The Ark is, indeed Transformers: The Ark. The subtitle isn't part of the title and probably shouldn't be in the article title.--Jimsorenson 22:55, 8 June 2011 (EDT)

Other Errors
I don't have the page number offhand, but the Energon incarnation of Arcee is referred to as a car rather than a motorcycle on whichever page covers Energon and the 20th anniversary.--MCRG 11:48, 29 June 2011 (EDT)
- I also noticed a minor error, that somewhere at the first pages, There is a Prototype Soundwave G1 toy wich editor referred to as Blaster. --Rustyscraplet 00:00, 7 July 2011 (EST)
- No, that really was a prototype Blaster. It has Soundwave's head, but look at the altmode and transformation steps. --Thylacine 2000 18:51, 7 July 2011 (EDT)
