The note about Soundwave in the film... Three times to get that right in a few minutes?--AWT88 20:45, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

ROTF sections

I would take care if I were you when providing ROTF fiction sections, as you've interpreted some scenes incorrectly. --FFN 23:26, 10 July 2009 (EDT)

Per: Pampage - could you please provide a screenshot? I honestly don't remember seeing two combine (and I saw the movie twice, focusing on the Constructicons the second time), and every other source says there's only one Rampage. Looking at Devastator's character model, there doesn't seem to be extra pieces there either, and all of the interviews mentioning Devastator either say six or seven, never eight.KrytenKoro 20:30, 24 July 2009 (EDT)

Yes, likewise, I am not seeing any indication of two Rampages linking together during the combination sequence. - Chris McFeely 20:31, 24 July 2009 (EDT)

Fine, let's wait until the DVD is out. Alientraveller 20:55, 24 July 2009 (EDT)

this --FFN 01:28, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

Ahh crap. My apologies. --FFN 01:33, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

Exodus

Hey, I think your Exodus fiction sections are a little too brief. For example, you did Shockwave's entire role in one sentence, but didn't say what he actually did in the book. Also, don't forget the spoiler tags. --FFN 06:58, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

Heya FFN, I haven't actually read Exodus yet lol! Pretty hard to find in the UK. Just doing my bit from the Wiki summary. I have watched the campaigns on YouTube though. Alientraveller 07:14, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

While your attempt to help is appreciated, that's... not very helpful to us. Because you haven't actually read the book or played the game. --FFN 07:19, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

Well I understand your point for the book, but the whole game is able to watch here (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=20133CFF02D60877) like a film. So while you may or may not have played it, I've watched it from beginning to end. Alientraveller 07:27, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

I have the game and finished it. Playing a game is different to watching videos of it. You need to interpret the gameplay into words for the wiki so it feels like our standard fiction summaries, and in my opinion, that can only work if one has actually played the game in question. --FFN 07:49, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

Also, you're missing a fair bit of character appearances, and you basically lack detail and depth in your write ups. --FFN 07:52, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

I'm sorry FFN. Alientraveller 08:03, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

Now I feel bad :( I'm sorry --FFN 11:30, 5 July 2010 (EDT)

Carving Nexus

From the Star Saber page:

The introductory information is from Nexus Prime's profile in Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 30.

Thanks mate. Alientraveller 10:12, 11 August 2010 (EDT)

Steve Blum - Starscream

That sounds pretty suspect. I mean, all we know is that some guy went to an anime convention and he says that Steve Blum is Starscream. Did he ASK Steve Blum? Does he have proof? Can anybody corroborate his story? -- Semysane 04:53, 4 September 2010 (EDT)

It appears Sean Long has corroborated TFW2005's source. :) [1]

ROTF Grindor/Blackout

So are you telling me that Michael Bay has confirmed that it is Grindor in Revenge of the Fallen?. Nowhere says Michael bay has, only Hasbro that make the crappy toys. Dreamworks have said it was supposed to be Blackout. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 77.86.81.63 (talk • contribs).

Cool. Where did they say that and since when does Dreamworks have the final say on what is canon and what is not? ---Blackout- 15:21, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

They never said, he/she cites a source from "insiders" who also claimed Barricade would attack Sam in the college and Soundwave would sacrifice his spark to revive Megatron. Dreamworks to date has never said it is Blackout. Yes, Bay never said what Grindor's name is, because he doesn't know the helicopter's name. To him it's "Helicopter robot #2". Lastly, the opinion Hasbro only makes toys nor the opinion of the toys' quality has no bearing on what they said, which is that it is Grindor who appeared in the film just as he did in the games, comics and toys.

Now let's say it was Blackout who was momentarily resurrected only for Optimus to tear his face off? Then we have a major plot hole (and ROTF already had enough) wherein the heroes could have gotten their Allspark shard from Jetfire back to resurrect Optimus. Likewise, the Decepticons had one shard, which they used to resurrect Megatron, and the humans had one, which was absorbed into Jetfire's stasis-locked body. So probably for this reason, Blackout remained dead and the name Grindor was used. Alientraveller 15:34, 5 September 2010 (EDT)

Hasbro Q&A

Thanks, I was just going to ask the Alpha Trion question myself. ---Blackout- 13:18, 7 September 2010 (EDT)

If more than one person asks the same question... :) Alientraveller 14:26, 7 September 2010 (EDT)

WFC moves

May I ask how in the name of all that's holy you managed to move 88 pages within 8 minutes? Are you using some sort of automated program to do it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.117.232.130 (talk • contribs).

It feels a lot longer, I can tell you that! Alientraveller 15:44, 5 March 2011 (EST)

Hubworld Transformers: Prime special

What is this? I looked for it on hubworld.com but couldn't find it. - Jackpot 11:29, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

It's a weekly magazine show on the Hub about what's big in the entertainment world. A segment had them asking fans questions at BotCon. Alientraveller 12:18, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

Ah, okay, so it's not actually online? I ask because I want to check the context of the quiz. The title of the show suggests to me that it's supposed to be about Prime specifically, so having trivia that jibes with Aligned material would be expected, not indicative of any broader trend. Was it presented differently than that? - Jackpot 18:25, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

No no, they were asking people at BotCon what Optimus's name was, what was his job, and then what was the Autobots' favourite soap (a kid correctly answered it from a G1 episode). Obviously Optimus's name and job depends on which continuity you're talking about, but "Orion Pax" and "data clerk" were made out as correct. Three out of four fans asked went with Orion, but only one went with data clerk and obviously the cartoon Orion was a dockworker. Alientraveller 19:33, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

I see. Thanks for the clarification! - Jackpot 01:13, 19 March 2011 (EDT)

Megatron and Soundwave (Prime)

Hi, I am the guy who wrote the comments about Megatron and Soundwave in Prime, saying how Megatron is the only jet character with a non s name, and soundwave was told to be silent. I just wanted to ask why you thought that statment was to trivial. It was somewhat interesting I thought, and the fact that soundwave was told to be silent could be somewhat of an explination. I don't want to sound like a jerk, I just want to see what other people really think of comments I make. Sorry if this makes me sound like I am one of those people why cry when my information is deleted. I just want to find out what I did wrong so it doesn't happen again.MrLordGalvatron 12:33, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

Look, we can't have every little observation hanging around on an article. What about Starscream being the only big Movie Decepticon to come to Earth whose name didn't begin with 'B' until Megatron appeared in the film? And were you seriously speculating Soundwave doesn't talk because of one forgettable line in the game? Soundwave doesn't talk because the writers felt he's so much cooler if he only rarely speaks. Also, please don't change captions. That caption in "Darkness Rising" referred to an Animaniacs episode featuring Michelangelo and Spielberg. Alientraveller 13:03, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

Wow. I never noticed that Starscream was the only big movie Decipticon that's name did not begin with B in the first film, thanks to Devastator/Brawl.Thanks to you, I will be thinking about that all day. I don't know about you, but I don't like the fact that WFC and Prime are in the same continuity. Doesn't make much sense. I'll try to be more "quiet" with some things I notice. (Not trying to be a jerk, just making conversation.)MrLordGalvatron 11:34, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

Sources

I don't think you should have upgrade DOTM's character list without sources. --CAJH 19:25, 13 May 2011 (EDT)

2011 Hall of Fame icons

Are Ratchet (Universe), Ratchet (SG), Soundwave (BW), Soundwave (Cybertron), Sir Soundwave, Ironhide (Energon), Ironhide (RID), Ironhide (RID), Ironhide (SG), Ironhide (Armada), Cliffjumper (Armada), Cliffjumper (Energon) and Cliffjumper (SG) supposed to get HOF icons too? I could see the two Armada characters being excluded as they are both females, but the others seem like they should definitely be included. --Khajidha 12:35, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Alientraveller, DO NOT ADD HOF ICONS TO CLIFFJUMPER'S PAGES AGAIN. NO NO NO NO. STOP. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. --ItsWalky 11:25, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

Hey no problem, LV clarified it on G1 Cliff's page. Should probably make a note of it on the HOF's article though. Alientraveller 14:49, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

Commercial pages

Just wanted to thank you for helping to pick up my slack on the commercial pages the last few months. Finally got a chance to go through all the DOTM ads and what headache that was. ROTF was so much simpler with Bay's people uploading nearly all the ads on Vimeo. --Tigerpaw28 18:09, 25 June 2011 (EDT)

You're welcome. Alientraveller 18:31, 25 June 2011 (EDT)

Shockwave Image

Hello, this is Jedijam91. I am one of the users from Teletraan 1. I noticed that the image on this wiki for Shockwave is his depiction in DOTM. Because of our image policies at Teletraan 1 I cannot simply post the same picture that you have and I was wondering if you could lend me the image for its use on Teletraan 1. Our image is horribly outdated, its his depiction from the 2007 movie console game. Jedijam91 22:54, 14 July 2011 (EDT)

I was also wondering if I could use the picture for the Cybonic Plague cure as well. You can reach me at my profile on Teletraan 1 here http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/User:Jedijam91. Thank you. 208.104.218.26 15:40, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

WFC comic

You made a request regarding this comic about a year ago, and I have at last provided you with a response. --Sabrblade 01:01, 4 August 2011 (EDT)

Aw thank you for sharing your copy! Alientraveller 05:15, 4 August 2011 (EDT)

I figured I'd at least share it and leave it to the experts on creating all the needed images, since I don't know what's specifically needed from this comic. Plus, now one can also go and make any corrections to the synopsis I wrote for it, if needed. --Sabrblade 12:16, 4 August 2011 (EDT)

BTW, Drivetrain is the blue Councilor with the cylindrical cranium. --Sabrblade 16:12, 17 September 2011 (EDT)

Greek vs Latin

I noticed the "Megatronus sounds Greek" bit on your user page and I just had to shatter your beliefs. The "-us" ending indicates Latin. A Greek ending would have been "-os". Moreso, "-tron" ís a Greek-derived suffix ("-on" is the Greek ending for "genderless" words, whereas "-os" is masculine). Geewunling 13:14, 3 October 2011 (EDT)

Heh thanks. Alientraveller 13:57, 3 October 2011 (EDT)

AT, I think you put your general character votes on the Movie page. There aren't movie versions of Cyclonus, Chromedome, and Rewind. Please move them. --Monzo (talk) 22:22, 10 July 2017 (EDT)
