Kre-O Micro Changers wave 1

Should these be counted as 2012 or 2013 product? I know it says 2012 on the baggies, but I'm not sure if they were spotted before New Years... --Monzo 03:14, 14 February 2013 (EST)

The post on TFormers with the bag codes was made late December. I'm not sure how widespread they were at the time though. --abates 03:52, 14 February 2013 (EST)

Bot Shot bios

Not sure if you've seen these, abates, but the Bot Shots online checklist gives bios to a bunch of characters. (Dirt Boss isn't there as yet, sadly.)

http://www.bot-shots.com/check_list.php

Just a heads-up that it will try to auto-print when you open the page, so you'll have to cancel out of that. --Monzo 03:58, 15 February 2013 (EST)

Ahh, thanks! I always have a hard time finding that page with their navigation. I see they've added some more bios since I last looked at it too! --abates 04:07, 15 February 2013 (EST)

Dude in A Team Effort.

Hey, do you know the name of the guy that was mentioned by Take-Off in A Team Effort. He wanted to trans-scan something, I believe. If you do, could you get back to me? {{Escargon 18:52, 23 February 2013 (EST)}}

Roadstorm. --abates 19:14, 23 February 2013 (EST)

Thanks. [[Escargon 19:21, 23 February 2013 (EST)]]

Tales of the Beast Hunters

As you have mentioned that the stories are freely available, may I perhaps ask where you are getting the chapters for toys that haven't been released yet? Inkblot 04:37, 25 February 2013 (EST)

Hmm, have I erred? I think Shockwave is the only one who isn't out yet, but someone on TFW2005 linked to a copy of his instructions (with Tales included) on Hasbro's site. --abates 04:55, 25 February 2013 (EST)

Blaster/toys

Whoops. Thought the rule was that /toys always got split before /Generation 1 cartoon continuity, and I knew Blaster had one of those... - SanityOrMadness 21:08, 7 March 2013 (EST)

I think his toy section may have been too small to bother splitting. Oh well! :) --abates 21:16, 7 March 2013 (EST)

Template:L

I was hoping you could restore my Template:L; even if it can't be used for standardized codes due to the sheer number of parsers used on this wiki, it still shortens the code used significantly, and can be implemented on a page easily using regex. Granted conversions would need to be checked before saving, but I've found on the other wikis that we use it on that it has shown to be pretty popular.KrytenKoro 21:20, 20 March 2013 (EDT)

I'm not sure why shortening the code is a big deal when you're reducing the number of bytes for a link by a dozen or so at most, and instead introducing the additional overhead of a template lookup and execution. I'm sorry, it kinda seems like overkill to me when we already have a perfectly good way to make links to other articles. --abates 22:23, 20 March 2013 (EDT)

Okay. Sorry for troubling you, then.KrytenKoro 22:32, 20 March 2013 (EDT)

That doesn't have to be the last word! This is a wiki, after all, so you're welcome to raise more discussion on it at the Community Portal. A template like that which has the potential to be extensively used Wikiwide kinda needs more discussion than it has already gotten though. :) --abates 01:04, 21 March 2013 (EDT)

Computer Problem

The reason why my images are blurry is because my computer seems to have a problem with it. Apparently, my computer doesn't like my images being clear, so they just become blurry. I know, I noticed it too. Movie09 00:25, 29 March 2013 (EDT)

Well, I'm not sure what to suggest other than you could ask someone else to take the pictures for you. The blurry pics aren't very good for viewing on the wiki. --abates 01:35, 29 March 2013 (EDT)

Transformers Go! nav box

Thank you! Mimi 01:12, 27 April 2013 (EDT)

No problem! --abates 01:58, 27 April 2013 (EDT)

Just a suggestion about spam

Its kind of a stupid and childish suggestion, but since we are tfwiki why dont we refer to spam as something else like: beryllium bologna or sezium salami (there can be an argument about that later) but its just a suggestion to make us a little bit more different from other wikis. It would make a good template too. -Shado Prime 12:45, 28 May 2013 (EDT)

Cute, but I think it might confuse people and be harder to spell. :) --abates 16:51, 28 May 2013 (EDT)
