- Ooh..uhh...sorry about the spoiler. --DrSpengler 04:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not irked, but for future reference, use the {{spoiler}} template when updating with any just-recently-released comics/cartoons (well, save stuff where the "Coming soon" template would be more appropriate). --M Sipher 04:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Cool. Added the spoiler tag. About how long until we take it down? A month? --DrSpengler 05:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thereabouts, yeah. --M Sipher 05:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Alternate meaning
Some fans use "Beastformer" as a term for any TF with an animal mode, does anyone else think that this article should include some kind of acknowledgment of that? --TVsGrady 00:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I don't. "Beastformer" had a specific meaning prior to being used in that way.--Chip 05:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- A disambiguation sounds reasonable. "____Former" is common enough in casual transfan discourse that a fan could arrive at this page expecting to or looking for information on all Beast-Transfomers. Although since the wiki usually uses American names, I'm not sure why the article isn't titled Battle Beasts.
Well, in regards to the article being under the Japanese name, its because in none of the Battle Beasts' appearances in US Transformers fiction have they ever been identified as "Battle Beasts". I, personally, think the article should be called "Battle Beasts" since that's the logical equivalent to the Japanese name...but I got out-voted. --DrSpengler 23:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
