I think I love Kil's bio write-ups. They're... punchy.-Derik 05:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

For future reference, Kil, when there's a simple but repetitive task like fixing those continuity notes that needs to be done, just leave me a message and I will have User:DiagnosticDrone do it. Less effort, and also the edits will be hidden from the changes page since he is a bot. --Steve-o 04:16, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah. Noted. --KilMichaelMcC 08:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

The Mechanoids/Drones -> Drones changes are complete. --Steve-o 19:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

"unused" nicknames

Those were actually published in some digest things. Also, the only reason I was adding tose names in with the others is because of the precedence. The names from Bob's '84 Tech Spec chart were added in with the forgin names over a year ago. --FortMax 03:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC) link

Not ALL of the nicknames were published - and, likewise, there was at least one published (Starscream as "The Silver Snake") which wasn't part of the first infodump post on the AllSpark. I think it needs to be examined which ones were and weren't published.

And... some guilt to admit. I was the one who began putting prelim names in with the foreign names, but in retrospect I've come to regret this. I think, now, that preliminary names and these nicknames need to go in Trivia sections, if only so context for them can be explained. --Monzo 03:42, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Preliminary names being up front like that I get. But nicknames like "Cool Hand Lube" that the characters are never actually called by anyone? Those, I think, clearly belong in the Trivia section. --KilMichaelMcC 03:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, look at Ratchet's page. The first thing after you see after his bio is "Nicknames: Cool Hand Lube, Greasefinger." That makes no sense to me at all, as these are not really nicknames the character has in any stories. It doesn't belong there. --KilMichaelMcC 03:50, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Even if they were used in stories- they're nicknames, not names.

This top section is an Also Known As section-- for Japanese and forieng re-namings. "I'm looking for Colossus, could this Clench guy be him? Oh yes I see, it's one of his alt names!" Guys who were sold under other names in different countries, or got renamed for legal reasons, or got called somethign different in a version of the cartoon.

Nicknames are trivia. They don't do what that section is supposed to do. They don't belong there.-Derik 04:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Omega Supreme

I would think Omega would be as much a part (if not a little more) of Optimus' team as Blackarachnia and Starscream are of Megatron's. For one, he's there from the beginning, just comatose, and he was clearly entrusted to either Ratchet or Optimus.

Then again, Ratchet was the only one who knew about him, so he might just have a upgraded version of the Soundwave/Laserbeak relationship.KrytenKoro 18:22, 18 April 2009 (EDT)

Ablyss

I'm guessing by "in the text" you mean the actual book, because the article doesn't make clear that the title is anything more than a misprint along the lines of "Improsoned Inferno". --Khajidha 09:26, 10 September 2010 (EDT)

Fowler and June

It's...it's totally there! First the fatherlessness, then the hug, then the cute look...uh! uh! I can't see you not seeing it! TheMZone 19:21, 6 March 2012 (EST)

Continuity family of origin for Megazarak, Caliburn, Dreadwind, Smokejumper, and Sunstorm

Thank you for your input on Talk:Planet X (Cybertron). Can you help me with the issue of the "Shell Game" reality characters? Caliburn has been mentioned in the Beast Wars: Uprising story "Broken Windshields", Sunstorm's mention in the 3H The Official Transformers Collectors' Club Magazine issue 1 has been placed in the G1 page, and Dreadwind and Smokejumper's pages are labeled with 2001 Robots in Disguise though they have been mentioned as being of 2001 Robots in Disguise, Armada, and "Shell Game". Do you have any idea on how Megazarak and Caliburn's pages should go? S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 21:39, 25 April 2015 (EDT)

Sorry, but that's outside of stuff I know stuff about. I don't think I've ever actually read any of the things you're asking about. --KilMichaelMcC (talk) 21:43, 25 April 2015 (EDT)

Sometimes we just don't know what universe a guy is from, and we don't need to try to shoehorn them into one. I am fully confident that all we know about those characters is on their pages already, because there is so little to know. --ItsWalky (talk) 22:34, 25 April 2015 (EDT)
