Picture uploading
Hi, I removed that pic of the towtruck you uploaded onto Longarm's page, because the file size was far too large (the wiki software warns you when you upload a filesize over its recommended limits) and since there is no information as to where it comes from (TFW2005 is not the source in this case), I don't know of the legality of using it here. --FFN 14:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Picture cropped and reuploaded! --ItsWalky 14:42, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you a lot for your efforts !! :) --TX55 15:17, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

About the Translation of Episodes titles of Japanese Transformers
I wonder these translated titles of The Headmasters and Super-God Masterforce is official or unofficial? Because some of them are a little bit strange. For example,
 * This should be translated into "The Chosen Hero - His Name is Ginrai" instead of "A Hero is Chosen - His Name is Ginrai".
 * This should be translated into "A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Danger" instead of "A Fierce Battle!! The Cybertrons are in Trouble".

and several others. Well, I am just a little bit curious. --TX55 11:10, September 12 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, those examples are a bit "six of one." Neither one would especially seem to be more accurate than the other. The translations employed for the wiki (at least in the case of Masterforce and when I come to it, Victory) are those used on the official R2 DVD releases, as translated by Jordan Derber. The only time I've changed any of them is when the English hasn't been parsed the same as the Japanese (compare "Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt" with the DVD's "The Decepticons' Terrifying Manhunt," which sounds better, but doesn't match the way the sentence is actually written in Japanese). - Chris McFeely (not signed in)
 * Oh, I understand. Thank you. 01:31, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Primal launcher?
Hey, TX55. In this edit you said that Primal's chest was originally going to be some sort of launcher, and also added the "fact" template to your statement. Can you... provide any sort of reference yourself? I can't imagine how there could be a launcher there on that toy. (Also, you marked your edit as "minor" even though you were adding actual content to the page, which is probably a bad idea. Minor edits are for things like spelling fixes or changes of word choice, not for when you put new information in.)  --Steve-o 21:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I've revised it. I used "citation need" because I know it was seen on the guide book, but I am not sure which one on the day I added it. Now I find the source. (Also, thank you for the . I understand now.:))--TX55 03:01, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That sounds neat.  Do you have a copy of the image?  --Steve-o 15:07, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I am really sorry, I wish I had. :) The guidebook only features the text description. I really Hope there will be a complete guidebook featuring all the control arts of Beast Wars. ^^ --TX55 15:16, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Scrambles
Hi, your article on Scramble Seven reminded me of something. Do you know what these are?

Picture

They're from this book. --Monzo 22:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Mmm, I know the book but never read before. The two combined forms are just called "Super Scramble". They seems only show up in this book. I don't remember seeing them in the HM anime. ;D Every member formed the giants has their unique ability.


 * Autobot Super Scramble, formed by:
 * Scattershot, who gives the giant powerful firepower. (Torso and gun)
 * Skydive, making the giant capable of using high speed punch. (L. arm)
 * Air Raid, the man who works in strategy for the giant. (R. arm)
 * Blade, making the giant capable of moving quickly. (L. foot)
 * Nosecone, a tough man who has high durability.


 * Decepticon Super Scramble, formed by:
 * Hun-Gurrr, who gives the giant powerful strength. (Torso and gun)
 * Dead End, making the giant capable of using a fiece punch. (L. arm)
 * Blast Off, making the giant capable of using high speed punch. (R. arm)
 * Brawl, making the giant capable of standing firmly. (L. foot)
 * Cutthroat, making the giant capable of jumping high. (R. foot)

Stolen Toy info
Is bad. We don't put it on here. Please don't do it again. --M Sipher 03:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand now. Sorry, I didn't no it is stolen info. --TX55 06:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

PNG files
It is preferable to upload jpegs instead (unless an image is a chart or something that needs to be very clear), because .png files are several times as large as jpeg files. I recommend you re-upload all of the screen captures you have already uploaded as jpegs. Thanks. --FFN 17:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I got it. --TX55 17:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd also say they could stand to be larger in the visual sense. I don't think we have a real standard, but I usually go for 500 pixels wide on the long side as a good trade-off between the required "low resolution" and the image actually being clear and visible. -- Repowers 17:34, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm afraid that I can only get the 315*240 files at present time. --TX55 17:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Kansai?
Why include a link to a page about the Kansai dialect when Teletran 15 specifically speaks in a Kyushu dialect? If there's no page on Kyushu dialect available, a Kansai dialect page still isn't going to be of much use, is it?--Apcog 14:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ouch, I was too careless. Thanks for correction. :D --TX55 14:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Headmaster
Hi, can you please port my changes over to Headmaster (technology). Thanks. --MistaTee 16:13, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem, just done. ^_^ --TX55 16:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! --MistaTee 16:15, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. ;D --TX55 16:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Chinese names
Why are you reverting that guy's addition of the names used by characters in China? It's just as legit as the Japanese, Brazilian, Hungarian or French-Canadian aliases used by characters. --Detour 07:51, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Names in Chinese-speaking region is somehow... a little bit chaotic, even thought the formal names exist, not every media use the same names. For example, TV use the A set while some magazines use the B set. Also, the anonymous user's edits are not so correct. I will try to rewrite about it. :) ps. IIRC, those names should be used in Taiwan instead of China. --TX55 07:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

About Chinese names, I have a question for you. In this article here, it seems to suggest that one possible ... translation? transliteration? for Optimus Prime's mainland Chinese name (柯柏文) is "Kēbówén"? Am I interpreteing this correctly? It was listed as "Al Part Man" on the wiki, which looks very strange to me, but I left it on his page for now and added "Kēbówén" next to it. What are your thoughts? --Monzo 05:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, about that. ^^ "Kēbówén" is Cantonese name in Hong Kong, which is pronounced as "O Baak Man" (it is suggested that it is derived from "OP Prime" or "Optimum"). Which means, it is some sort of translated name based on pronunciation of original English name.  :D


 * ps. O Baak Man is the Cantonese name for:
 * G1 Optimus Prime (Hong Kong only)
 * Energon Optimus Prime (Taiwan and HK)
 * Cybertron Optimus Prime (Taiwanese catalog and HK)
 * Movie Optimus Prime (Taiwan and HK)
 * Animated Optimus Prime (Taiwan and HK)

Japanese name
Why are you moving stuff around in the lists of foreign names? They're placed in alphabetical order. --ItsWalky 15:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ooh, I thought we could place the Japanese name(if exist) in the first 'cause the Jp name is much commonly seen. As for the other foreign names, well, I think I probably messed in some way. Thanks for notice. :D --TX55 16:34, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

中文版
你要不要做一個中文版變形金鋼啊？--KJ (talk) 10:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 嗯嗯，好啊. ^^ 詳細的問題已經回信到妳的PTT信箱中了唷. --TX55 11:53, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Sideswipe
I put a delete tag on the Sideswipe photo you uploaded (It's actually from Transformers.com) because, well, its just a repainted Sunstreaker prototype, not Sideswipe. Its best not to use photos (even official photos) when things are so obviously wrong. --FFN 11:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh wait, you didn't know. The 'Sideswipe' in the official Hasbro photos is simply a Sunstreaker they repainted. They displayed the real Sideswipe prototype at BotCon. He has a new head and hands. --FFN 11:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I understand. :) And thank you for the correct information. ;D (Thank God Sideswipe really gets a new head.) --TX55 12:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * In case you haven't seen it, this is Sideswipe's real head. --FFN 14:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow, Thanks again. Appreciate t that. ^_^ --TX55 15:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Unnecessary Categories
Alright what categories are unnecessary by your definition. What i see is articles lacking the proper characters. Such as G1 characters who dont list G1 characters in their categories, characters who are decepticon/autobot and are not on the autobot/decepticon categories. So plz inform me what it is you want, im trying to bring some order to these incomplete articles.

Master Sword/Blade
Do you have an image of the Master Sword to use? The text specified that the image you removed was actually the Master Blade. --Sntint 15:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No, I don't owned one by far, but I am trying to find one ASAP. :-D -- TX55   TALK  16:35, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Nexus Zero
So, like... a year ago, you posted some information to Talk:Nexus Zero about how it and Nexus Earth were part of an interstellar transit network, the Earth nexus was destroyed along with the Metal Hunter, and so on. Someone else immediately incorporated it into the article, and it's never been questioned, but I can't find any evidence for it. You storylinked Other Victories, but the only relevant part of that episode I know of is the Vok conversation in the very beginning, which only supports the idea that Nexus Earth was "closed," and none of the rest. So I excised all the questionable stuff from the article, but I'd like to know if I was wrong in doing so. Am I forgetting some part of the episode, or does the info come from somewhere else entirely? - Jackpot 20:42, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Repowers has answered in the article's talk page. :D As for the source, the words in the talk page is directly translated from the Beast Wars Universe. -- TX55   TALK  22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Is this translation online somewhere? Or did you translate it yourself, from your own copy?  The only online translation I can find is the DiTillio bit, which doesn't contain that passage. - Jackpot 23:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I translated it by myself from the real book. The text file and the passage I translated belongs to two different sections. :) -- TX55   TALK  03:25, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay, good to know. Which section did it come from?  I ask because at least one portion of the book (the DiTillio info) is not considered canon here, so I want to be sure exactly where this information is coming from before incorporating it back into the article. - Jackpot 05:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It comes from the glossary section along with the minor characters and other in-show elements within the Character Information section. It is canonical, well, at least not been retconned yet by far. ;-) -- TX55   TALK  05:41, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks! - Jackpot 06:14, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You are welcome! ^_^ -- TX55   TALK  06:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Nicknames
TX, the nickname sections at the beginning of articles are not for nicknames taken from within stories. They are for nicknames given in the early Transformers Universe profiles printed in Transformers Comic Magazine - see here for example. That's why I removed Ramjet and Cliffjumper's nicknames before, and added expository notes to all the others explaining them. --Monzo 13:52, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, I understand now. I thought previously the definition includes both TFU and in-story. Thank you! ;-D -- TX55   TALK  13:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Visualworks
OK TX55, we've reverted each other twice now. I have Visualworks, and I have every TV Magazine from October 1985 to February 1996. The statement "Note that the book features most— meaning not all—of the artwork from the TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers and other sources" is factually inaccurate. I'd say that the visualworks has less than half of the artwork from TV Magazine. I can post a ton of examples if you want. Is there any coherent reason why we should have a statement in this wiki that's demonstrably incorrect? Why not just go with my version, which substitutes "Studio OX" for "TV Magazine"? --Jimsorenson 17:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (duplicating from the talk there)
 * The "Note that the book features...other sources" means the source of those artworks includes TV Magazine, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers, and several other sources. In my opinion, if we just use "Studio OX, Comic Bom Bom, LD covers", that would omit Ban Magami's work, since the art from TV Magazine contains the works of Studio OX and Ban Magami's illustrations. Also, Studio OX's work appears not only in TV Magazine but also in Comic Bom Bom. -- TX55   TALK  22:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You're not saying what you mean to say. Saying that the book contains most of the artwork from TV Magazine means just that - it contains more than half of the artwork from TV Magazine.  Since that's demonstrably false, we can't say that.  I'm taking another stab at rewriting this to meet your objections in a way that is accurate.  --Jimsorenson 22:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Login opinion?
I posted an opinion about switching to login only on the Community page. Have you had a chance to check it out? If so, what's your take on it? I'm interested to know. Shawn ( talk ) 18:01, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Admin?
More specifically, would you like to become one? I've been seeing the work you've been putting in here over the past few weeks, like editing and getting rid of vandalism. I think you're doing a great job, and SFH suggested it before. We need some good people as admins here, and I think you're a good choice. Your thoughts? Shawn ( talk ) 17:39, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, thank you! I think I can do with some help here as much as I can. ^^ -- TX55   TALK </SUP> 01:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * And you're an admin! Congratulations! Yoy may need to re-log in to see the change. If you need a hand with anything else, please let me know. Shawn ( talk ) 16:53, 13 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I got it. Thank you very much! ;-D -- TX55   TALK </SUP> 22:52, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

"Rock and Roll-Out!"
Yo what does your name mean? I think that I saw it on the Gundum show once but I am not sure. Anyway if you have time check out my user page, and reply on my talk page if you would like to talk more. Jetblast 16:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Featured Articles
I posted on the Rorza, the Rocket-cycle Racer from Rigel III talk page asking why it was a featured article. I was not the only person questioning that. No one else answered. So I un-featured it. So, why are you reverting my edits? Why not post to the talk page there about why an article with 5 sentences is considered 'one of the most informative on the wiki.' I'd really like to know. StarfishLover 23:12, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't notice the message before. I just reply in the article's talk page. -- TX55   TALK </SUP> 00:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Question
Do you think hasbro allows fan made transformers? Such as using my name for an online game or using your own name for a story? Jetblast 16:40, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
