Talk: Megatron (Tyran)

Beast wars homage?

The rotf voyager toy, kinda looks like beast wars megatron. (Big two finger "claw on the right side, wings and dinosaurish legs) 83.233.239.253 19:07, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Human Name jokes

We might as well make the article play on his human-given names.

Megatron's Cybertronian form

Has anyone else noticed that Megatron's vehicle form bares more than a passing resemblance to the Swordfish, the personal ship flown by Spike Spiegel in Cowboy BeBop? King Starscream 02:39, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Not really, no. --EricMarrs 12:07, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

The only difference is it's A. silver, and B. has three guns instead of one.

I agree, it looks very similar. The wings in particular. I mean, it doesn't exactly look like THE Swordfish, but it looks like a 'mono-racer' from Bebop at least.

It looks more like the Zone of the Enders version of the Vic Viper than the Swordfish, at least to me it does.--Carrion 03:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I actually found it looked like the other megatrons` jet mode.--Autobotx1010 01:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I think I see it. -- SFH 01:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Earth Mode

According to Wikipedia and IGN, Megatron turns into a stealth bomber. Hunter-113 22:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Until either one is verified by anything official, we're not including that "info". --M Sipher 22:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Reading the IGN article, they said they got this from playing an early version of the Movie's game. Hunter-113 01:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Still makes it somewhere between unconfirmed second-hand report and leaked info. With this sort of thing patience is best. IF it is true we'll all no for sure soon enough and it can go up then.n--ZacWilliam 02:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Seibertron reported recently that some of the production staff hinted at Megatron not getting an Earth form after all, at least in this movie. I'd say wait until the movie comes out, because even if they make a toy it's still not confirmed. User:King Starscream 13:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

From the book media I've perused, Megatron stays silvery and alieny the entire course of it all. There's other things I saw, but I shan't go into them since all these books come out tomorrow and you can spoil yourself then. User:Terrocon Blot

Which book? Sounds interesting. King Starscream 03:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

All the kids books that come out tomorrow. The I can read, storybook, junior novels, etc. Heck, a few of the books have Megatron and Brawl standing side by side. He ain't Brawl. All these books come out tomorrow, and will be on display in your local book stores. (Seriously, this is screwed up. I can't seem to edit pages when I'm logged in.) User:Terrocon Blot

Looking at game footage, either the Stealth-Bomber Megs was an early idea that was discarded, or he gets an Earth mode later in the game. -- Hunter-113 19:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Sibling status

I strongly question the inclusion of he and Optimus being brothers in the main bio, unless that is backed up by the movie itself, or some future toy bio, or other source stronger than books based on earlier drafts of the script. --KilMichaelMcC 02:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

If the movie does not contradict it, surely it is still true.  :)

FOr what it's worth- the prequel comics had this vibe goigng too, the ADF novelization mentions brushes by it,t he junior novelization says it explicitly... and I think there's at least 1 more source. -Derik 02:30, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

The DS game says so. --ItsWalky 02:34, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

As does the console version. --M Sipher 02:47, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, yeah. The game counts a stonger source. Although if it's not mentioned in the movie itself, I think it's going to require a footnote notation citing the places it is. --KilMichaelMcC 02:55, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

The Decepticon DS version also says it flat out.--MCRG 07:45, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

What we have now is correct, and there is no need to change anything. --FFN 09:48, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

For the record to future peoples, Optimus does call Megatron his bro in the movie.--MCRG 03:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

*More* Misassemblies

Yeah. I just got Super Megs and, uh, his hands are flipped. Or rather, I guess it's his thumbs and pinkies. Look at the box and compare. This should probably be noted... 71.61.152.122 07:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Geeeeez, you're right. Is there anything assembled right on this guy?--MCRG 04:20, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm comparing photos at Seibertron.com, and um...I'm not seeing it.

It's most noticable in the picture of his macehand, but you can see it in the big one too. Don't look at 'pics' of the box, look at it with your own two eyes. >.> 71.60.159.181 09:49, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Galvatron

I strongly belive that the allspark will resurect megatron in a future sequel and possibly reformat him into galvatron. It'll probebly bring him back to life at least

I don't deny that I think the AllSpark will play a part in Megs's revival, but I highly doubt (and strongly hope) that he won't become Galvatron.

Marinas Trench

I realize Keller said the Decepticons were dropped into the deepest section of ocean in the world, but he calls it specifically something other than the Marinas Trench. To that end, using "Marinas Trench" doesn't seem exactly right to me. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to quite decipher what he DID call it. Was anybody else? And what does other media say about the location? --Sntint 15:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I concur that the trench name from the film should be used here instead of the Marianas. --Steve-o 15:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Keller says "Laurentian Trench," which is a real ocean feature but by no means its deepest. He also says it's the deepest spot on the ocean at over 7 miles deep, which is correct for the Marianas. So, a fact-finding flub. --Thylacine 2000 18:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

How dare the Secretary of Defense not be completely up to speed on the name of the deepest part of the ocean. (seriously, it's entirely possible that Keller had no idea what hte fuck he was talking about.) -hx 18:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Either that, or Michael bay didn't do his homework.--Dynamus Prime 16:13, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

"The Head Wars"

the one present right now is a little blurry, wouldn't that one be better? [1]--GUIGUI 18:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

No, because that one doesn't have the right head. We replaced the one you suggested with the current version. (Blurry? It's a sized-down version of a gigantic-ass render straight from Dreamworks.) --ItsWalky 20:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Um, yes it does. The Current one has the wrong head. Screencap comparison coming momentarily. Please stand by. Inferno'sQueen 19:57, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

There is no more-current render to move to. There is a much older, outdated one that somebody keeps reverting to, but the one we currently use is practically the one used in the movie, if not the very same. --ItsWalky 20:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Not the same. The top of the head in the final version is different. Here. Now tell me I'm wrong.Inferno'sQueen 20:15, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

The head we currently have is way way way way way way closer than the alternative. Find us a full-body render that's a better alternative, and we'll switch them out, but there is none. --ItsWalky 20:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

GUIGUI's is the accurate head. It's just got blue eyes. But considering the eyes of some movie images on the wiki aren't even glowing at all I don't think that should be an issue.

Don't answer me with another block. Please. I'm just trying to help the wiki. Mr. Q 16:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

That is so totally not the final Megatron. This render showed up months before the one we're currently using, and they hadn't even finished texturing the model. Please drop the issue. --ItsWalky 17:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, now I'm confused. Is the body wrong on that one or something? Mr. Q 17:22, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it's just shaded wrong(no shadows), and his torso is not completely "filled" with metal.-the preceding unsigned comment was added by Grand-majin

That doesn't seem like a good excuse. And please sign your posts. Mr. Q 15:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I looked at the image again, and it does look a bit odd. But not very much. I suggest a poll/survey of the admins to decide who thinks it should be Meg's main pic, as the torso bit is the only problem. It won't be visible in thumbnail format anyhow. The Big Q 19:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

The Megatron model has two heads, a standard head and the battle head. The final promotional render with all the completed surface detail, which we are using, uses the standard head. --ItsWalky 19:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Admins, please put "Yes" after your name if you think the current image should be changed to this one, or "No" if you think it should stay as-is.The Big Q 19:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

The current poll:

User:ItsWalky: He hasn't officially voted yet, but it seems as though his answer will be "No."

User:Steve-o:Insert vote here

User:Suki Brits:I think she says "No," too.

User:Chris McFeely:Insert vote here

If I missed an admin, please notify them and add them here. The Big Q 19:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

you know, the admins aren't the only ones who have a say in this. And given that the model in the current image is almost if not completely identical to the one used in the movie it should be left as is. IMO, your argument is kinda like saying we need a new main image for Optimus Primal because it has a mouth doesn't have a full faceplate like the final model, even though the final model had both "mouth" and "faceplate" versions. --FortMax 19:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, we can't poll everyone. I'm relatively new, lucky enough to have found the admins listed somewhere. I wouldn't know who else to ask. And That Primal thing does not make sense. I know he had a mouth and a mouthplate. I'm saying the current image has the wrong head, and it should be fixed. The Big Q 20:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

This is bordering on farce.--Rosicrucian^Talk 20:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. If Inferno's Queen does not immediately drop the matter, I will get rid of her for refusing to stop wasting all of our time and polluting the Recent changes page with this retarded personal gripe. --ItsWalky 20:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

After the poll is completed, this will end. Deal?The Big Q 20:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I AM A GUY!!! The Big Q 12:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Seriously, dude, is this all you've got to offer?! This is such an incredibly minor issue that it's nowhere worth the amount of discussion that has already gone on about it. -- Repowers 23:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

This is mind-blowingly petty. I don't feel the need to express any opinion on the matter, it's pretty damn clear what the consensus is. --Suki Brits 04:09, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

video game info

should we edit it to have more info on megatron in the game?

...Deathy? -Derik 16:49, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Weapon names

The article currently contains the current text in its movie summary: "Megatron declared that if Prime wished to defend them, he should die with them, forming his fusion cannon. Before he could fire, the Autobot leader drew his ion blaster and fired, hitting Megatron." Do we have any reason/justification for referring to those weapons so specifically as a fusion cannon and ion blaster? --Steve-o 00:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

In the trivia section of Prime's article, it's called an ion blaster. As for the fusion cannon...-- SFH 01:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't Leader Megatron's toy packaging say "Arms combine to form fusion cannon!" or something along those lines? --KilMichaelMcC 01:26, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Answering my own question by looking up DVD's review, yes it does. And the product listing at Hasbro.com says: "Robot mode also features a launching rocket claw that becomes a chain whip, and arms that combine to create a fusion cannon!" --KilMichaelMcC 01:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

How do you combine his arms?

Nevermind. Figured it out.

Language

According to the Circuit City voice featurette, the producers made up an alien language (or Hugo Weaving did, the wording is vague), and Weaving is shown speaking in it as Megatron. Did this make it into the final film? --Monzo 14:10, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

There *is* a Cybertronian language spoken by several characters (Frenzy most notably, I guess, plus Starscream, and actually 'every' Decepticon during the call-up scene) but nobody really knows if it's just jibberish with a flanger on or something. That, and Megs 'never' speaks Cybertronian in the movie, so this makes it even stranger. The idea behind the Cybertronians speaking a different language isn't Weaving's, however, because that was in the leaked script that came out long before Weaving was cast. 71.60.159.181 23:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Encased in ice at the bottom of the ocean?

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no ice at the bottom of the ocean. Ice is less dense than water so any particles cold enough to freeze float above those who aren't cold enough. (Contrary to normal laws of convection; ice is weird like that) so Megatron and the Decepticons wouldn't be icy at all. Just really cold and crushed under immense water pressure

Actually ice crystals still form whenever cold water comes in contact with a crystallization seed. While "normal" ice would be almost 99% ice, and maybe have a speck of dust at the center, allowing it to be less dense than the surrounding water and float up, ice that forms around the Decepticons would not be enough to make them bouyant, and they would remain at the bottom of the sea. Deep sea creatures actually have to deal with this inside their cells.KrytenKoro 03:10, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Megu said what?

When Megu arrives in Mission City, he says two sentences. Just when he lands, he says something that I heard as "Let me play!" But what did he say after that? Because, the article says that Megu again declared his name when arriving in M City, but he didn't sound like that. Will someone clarify what exactly he said? StarShade 09:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

ROTF MEGATRON

Now that we seen Megatron rebuilt & reformatted by the three Constructicons - Mixmaster, Long Haul, and Rampage at the bottom floor of the Laurentian Abyss in the new trailer, plus he's featured through the trailer and even mentioned by Sam. Can we put up these CGI promo pictures of Megatron in his profile character bio for ROTF ? Kal-EL 16:20, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

You're Chatting Too Much This wiki is a reference document, not a chatroom. The Talk pages are for discussing how to improve the wiki. The User Talk pages are for requesting and receiving advice (and admonishments) about how to improve the wiki. They're not for random fandom chatting. If you want to discuss Transformers with like-minded fans, we recommend other sites, such as Seibertron.com, Transformer World 2005, or The Allspark. And yes, we hate this image, too.

repair advice

I've noticed lately that, despite my efforts to keep my movie figures in relatively good condition, most of them have become quite fragile with age. If you look at Leader Megatron's feet from the side, you'll notice that much of the assembly is connected via a single joint. Well, recently, while transforming mine, a cylindrical extension of the central axel (located inside said joint and secured with a screw) broke off and fell out (with the screw still in it). I managed to save the piece in a baggy, and upon closer inspection, the piece that broke off was extremely crucial; it was responsible for maintaining the tension in the joint, so that the foot could support the weight of the figure, as well as the alignment of the toes and central foot clamp. the only way to fix it, as far as I can tell, would be to completely dismantle the foot, and either find some way to glue the piece back on (although considering the stress that is exerted on the joint, it will probably take something stronger than glue to hold it in place), or replace it with something of relatively equal circumference. has anyone else had this problem? can it be fixed? if so, how? Please get back to me with any advice you can give ASAP, as the pieces are extremely loose, and I fear the other foot may have the same problem in the future.

A kid's game

Does it seem to you that this wikia seems a bit too...casual? Jokes are littered all over the text and most notably, in picture captions. It's not bad or anything, just seems informal and uncomfortable. And it seems like my username carries over to other wikias, yet not this one. Would that mean this is not an "official side wiki?" Then again, my username only carries on two wikias...but I've only checked five wikias in terms of my username, not counting wikipedia itself...but the other one that doesn't have my username is definitely a strange branch of the .wikia.coms...though it is probably the best wikia I've ever seen. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.124.184.88 (talk • contribs).

"The funny" is a collective term, like 'herd of sheep,' so its treatment will actually vary depending on use. "The herd is over there," or "the herd stays here" is correct, but "the herd are ewes" is clearly correct while "the herd is an ewe" is clearly not. Similarly, The Funny can be crap, but it cannot be a piece of crap, any more than the herd can be an ewe. -Derik 08:23, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

The funny is staying, of course, in any way at any measure. It's always one of the unique style of the site. I know some people will say this is immature, stupid, juvenile, making the site informal, self-disrespecting (to the site) ...blah blah blah. BUT, the site is already formal since the Dinosaurs lived. Remove the funny? When the pig flies... and I'd consider, ya, only consider. --TX55^TALK 14:04, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, the style would be unique if TFWiki.net wasn't also doing it. Thus meaning you have two wikis doing the exact same thing, which is completely pointless and useless.

It would be in the better interest of this wiki here to do things differently in order to, well, differentiate itself from TFWiki.net. It would also help attract more editors, as those folks who like the funny have almost all left to TFWiki.net. Meanwhile, there are a number of knowledgeable folks who didn't contribute to the original wiki because they disliked the funny, who would be willing to come back here and contribute if this wiki now took a more serious bent.

Keeping the funny does you no favors whatsoever. --96.240.213.187 15:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

As it is, a lot of the time "the Funny" just seems to encourage random site vistors to try to add their own attempts at "humor" to the captions, earning themselves a "caption bastard" template. --Tetrap 01:59, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Caption bastard isn't quite a problem. The real problems which the site is facing are those who don't know how to edit on Wiki system, those who were gave {{correctenglish}}, new page bastard, upload bastard/{{tagyourpics}}, or layout bastard. And last but not least, who don't know the rules/standards, such as scoop bastard, out-universe writting in the fiction section, non-official products, and those who post comments in the articles. These are the real problem what the site is facing. In short: Editors' quality. And I can't imagine what _disasters will happen after the movie's premiere. --TX55^TALK 03:21, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

But some is just so good....Like the Lebowski reference on G1 Beachcomber's page. Made me laugh to beat the band. Parts, anyway. I also just realized that I have never edited a caption.--KaotikusNemesis 02:19, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Tips on fixing this DREADFUL site

Moved from Talk: Main Page

Ok this site is really fucked up! Everytime I try to type something in on the search bar it refreshes the page. Also, I'm really pissed off about the funny things writen on thumb pictures. I want to see facts on them saying what the picture is about! The site despritely needs pages for toys. When I go to the toyline page and click on "Leader Class Optimus Prime", it brings me to Optimus Prime's profile page. I recommend you fix this. Another thing that must be fixed is the lack of information given to certain pages. I hope this has helped to fix the site, and I hope to see some changes soon.

NOTE: Do not reply to this comment as it is posted as advise, not a conversation! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by FawkesGamer360 (talk • contribs).

Heh. First off, nothing refreshes when I use the search bar, so your computer is messed up, second, THE FUNNY STAYS, and third, you have poor spelling.--KaotikusNemesis 22:55, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Dear sir or madam. This is a wiki. You may be unfamiliar with the concept, but everyone is able to make changes to a wiki simply by clicking on the "edit" link. This means that if you see something is wrong, you can simply fix it rather than spending five minutes complaining about it on a talk page. --Tetrap 23:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, you've got a point about the toy thing. I think the toy names should link to the character's toy article, not the actual character model. Teh lolz! BPL 23:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Whenever you have to type a lowercase T into the search bar, replace it with an uppercase T. The funny captions aren't going anywhere; you'd know that if you would actually read the top of this page, where it says THE FUNNY STAYS. There aren't pages for any of the toys, only small sections on the page, and that's how it's going to stay. There's nothing to fix, because nothing's wrong with that. If you want pages to be expanded, you have to take the reins and actually do it by yourself. You can't expect to be able to just sit around and tell everyone what to add to pages, you have to do it on your own. And honestly, this is a well-run site. Don't go calling a site DREADFUL unless it actually is. Thanks, Felancer Prime 00:08, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Aaaah, but you see, therein lies the problem. Previously, there were enough rabid TF nuts to fill the wiki out with actual content on top of caption jokes.

But see, the jokes and captions are the tone set by the previous staff and editors, their sense of humour, their style, which they took with them to tfwiki.net. Given this wiki currently has none of the original staff or the regular contributors who wrote 95% of the content here, I would suggest this wiki find its own path and its own tone. It does neither wiki good if people regularly confuse one with the other. Hell, Wikia itself is already pushing you in this direction in the hopes this place will clean itself up to become the next Memory Alpha or Wookieepedia. --FFN 15:00, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

The Funny

I like the funny. So like loads of other people have said:THE FUNNY STAYS. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Darkraider09 (talk • contribs).

Two things

There are two things I want to say or ask about ideas.

First, the "God" thing. There has been some users delete any contents with "God" in it, such as "(Oh) my God", "For God's sake", "Oh lord", "Jesus!", since I take over the administrator. Some of them really need to go because they are not so "effective" (not funny nor annoying [I'm not saying we need annoying words]), while others are preserved.

And, I also removed most of the "[[Primus|God]]" which is not related to the story.

Second, about the "Funny". Some people might notice that I've doing something about it for months, such as:

• I add normal captions for the newly-uploaded images as possible as I can.
• Removing those not-so-funny

In my opinion, old funny can stay as long as it is really funny (on the other hand, I've add {{Excessivesarcasm}} for some pages, hoping some users can help clean them up); while the newly created page (most of them are from the Exodus), it should be as normal as we can.

--TX55^TALK 04:50, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hi there.

About the first part, I was taking "God" out of certain articles because 1) the places where He is mentioned are ussually taking His Name in vain, and 2) those little quips that I removed seemed to add nothing. This of course, doesn't mean I'm going to try to remove every instance of this; I might call a certain TF "god Ginrai" (not capitalized) but hey, that is the official name. Chopping his name down to Ginrai for some articles won't help anything, nor would removing "dark god of chaos" from Unicron or "god of thunder" from Thor. I'm just removing non-official parts that take The Lord's name in vain. That is why I asked about changing Help:Contents to "Primus' sake".

About the second part, there was one article were all the captions were a horrible mash of grammar and typoes. Some captions are misspelled (or blank). Some seem to skirt the PG-13 policy (like the picture for Beast Wars Metals manga Blackarachnia (BW). Going back to to the first point, some captions (like Tigerhawk's and Octopunch's first captions both take The Lord's name in vain). I've refrained from altering those captions per the wiki's rules, however.

Perhaps there should be a policy that every article with 2 or more images must have at least one "serious" caption.

ThanksYzz, Master of DOOM 14:39, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Using "His" name in vain? I don't mean to offend, but people do that all the time. If "He" truly had a problem with it, I think he would have done something about it himself. Besides, do you honestly believe that "He" is vain enough to take offense when people use his name like that? and for that matter, there are some who believe "He" is actually a "She", and would take offense at your statement to the contrary. regardless, including the word "god" in our articles does little, if anything, to help or hinder their informative quality, so tell me, is it really worth it to make such a fuss over this matter? Xeno the Hedgehog 23:15, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Xeno, just because someone does something "all the time" doesn't make it right. Adults drop the f-bomb in front of kids "all the time". By the "people do it all the time" logic, there should be guidelines to this wiki, for vandalism, plagiarizism, and R-rated profanity are all used "all the time". And what does my removal of "God" do to hinder or debase the wiki? I'm the one spending the time editing the articles. Instead of reverting my edits for no apparent reason more effort should be made to improve articles that are in need of fixing. Also, I didn't "make a fuss"; I just edited pages and placed one request on TX55's talk page. Every name, be it God's or any person's, represents the person it identifies. To disrespect a name is to disrespect the person who bears that name. And ,yes, it really is worth it.Yzz, Master of DOOM 23:43, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

Frankly, I don't see any problem to use "God" for some purposes such as exclamation, surprise, emphasizing. (So, it is not in vain.) In fact, I have many friends who are so religious that they even don't watch or read some fictions/films/television show due to the involvement of God, Jesus, or Angels and Demons. However, they do often use "(Oh) my God", "For God's sake", "Oh lord" a lot, no matter in conversations, writing, blogs, or other occasions.

Of course I know you won't removed contents like God Ginrai, that's why I only mentioned those such as "(Oh) my God", "For God's sake", "Oh lord". By the way, it is written "God Ginrai" and "Dark God" (capitalized because they are official name).

As for the blank caption, let's just fill it with a normal caption for now. --TX55^TALK 08:03, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, you've got a point. I'll carefully consider before I hit the "save" page. Profanity with The Name, though, is gone as soon as I see it.

On another note, are there page that require the funny? And when/how can stubs like Slaarg or Tutonium cease being stubs?Yzz, Master of DOOM 15:22, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your understand. :) As for the second note, I remember there are some pages require funny (such as Ruined FOREVER), but such pages are not many. Also, some pages like Ramjet (Animated), Broadside (G1), and Bonecrusher (Movie) are no longer required the funny and have been marked for cleanup. As for how to make a page destub, just expanding it and remove the {{stub}} tag. :D --TX55^TALK 03:35, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hey. I'd just like to point out that some pages, like Chin, Nose, Jesus, and Frijole are pretty much useless joke pages. Also, perhaps pages like Tutonium and Slaarg should be folded into a single page.Yzz, Master of DOOM 23:43, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

You may find them useless, but the rest of us find them entertaining, similar to such pages as Scale, Kiss, Playskool, Neon, Trukk not munky, Pokeformers, Partformer, Shellformer, Bayformer, Dull surprise, Anatomic euphemism, and Ruined FOREVER. I've said it before and I'll say it again; we can't remove one such page without removing all of them, and we're not removing numerous articles just because one person has a problem with them. If you don't like them, don't read them. THE FUNNY STAYS. Xeno the Hedgehog 01:07, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

The problem is that Scale, Kiss, Playskool, Neon, Trukk not munky, Pokeformers, Partformer, Shellformer, Bayformer, Dull surprise, Anatomic euphemism, and Ruined FOREVER are all terms used by fandom or easily recognizable. Nose is already tagged for deletion. Frijole's page name is misspelled (it's either frijol or frijoles), and the chronology only details one episode in Energon. "THE FUNNY STAYS." Yes, I know. At what point did I suggest it all had to go? And hey, there's stuff that I find hilarious (like Dirge (Animated)) that have to be rewritten in a more "serious" manner in regards to the fiction/toy sections (because not everyone may get the liar Starscream joke). I love Death's Head, but I still think the Freelance Peacekeeping Agent should be deleted. The funny has its place, but still. Do we need an eyes article to detail the humanoid, visored, multi-eyed & compound varieties? Not really. But it would be neat. If the only reason an article is made is as a joke, it should be a blog post instead. Except for Blasty Zone. That page is awesome.Yzz, Master of DOOM 02:49, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

For eyes, we do have Sensors#Optical sensors, which was originally Optic but later got merged. As for the nose, I don't have particular opinion whether go or not. (So if someone want it go, just tag it with delete again; if not, anyone who want it stay should expand it with more formal standard and contents.) I tagged it with delete because it was originally much more horrible than what we see now. --TX55^TALK 04:03, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps nose and chin should be merged? Much like Bayformer is about the Movie designs, maybe a merged page for quirks in Animated's designs?

Another thing about joke pages is that they encourage overeager contributors to earn a "newpagenotice/1".Yzz, Master of DOOM 15:02, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

I don't really think the joke page is 100% related to those who get newpagenotice/1. Most of those users created normal page in horrible way, such as copy-past, plagiarism, incorrect English, nonsense words. In short, vandalizers or lack-of-experience users. --TX55^TALK 15:39, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe you guys should just remove the funny entirely. You could be something unique instead of being, you know, a half-assed knockoff of TFWiki with fewer editors and less information. -- Semysane 02:13, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Semysane, the funny is an integral and refreshing part of the site. Do I find some jokes/articles offensive or pointless? Yeah. But the good bits outnumber the bad.

So...put down the chainsaw and listen to me, the funny is staying, alright? Dare to be stupid! The funny stays! Dare to be stupid! Humorless wikis are lame! Dare to be stupid!

Yeah.Yzz, Master of DOOM 02:27, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Then switch to TFWiki, instead. Although, we use the name of God or any other fictional character however we like. -- Semysane 02:32, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

An attack on my faith? Isn't a personal attack a violation of wiki rules? If you're going to demand "professionalism", shouldn't you be giving an example? What is so special abot TFWiki? G1 Blurr, Monstructor, and The Beast all have funny on them. The site still has joke captions. It just seems to have a fancier main page. And ads.Yzz, Master of DOOM 02:42, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

I don't recall saying anything about professionalism, to be honest. About your faith, I admit that I spoke (er, wrote) without thinking, and I apologize for that. I tend to get riled up when someone attempts to force the rules of their religion onto people not bound by those rules, and when I get riled up I say stupid shit. As for TFWiki, it's better moderated, has more editors, has ads where WE want them, as opposed to where Wikia forces them to be. We also have pretty much the entire founding group of editors from THIS wiki, who jumped ship ages ago. -- Semysane 02:54, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I accept your apology. But I'm not forcing anything on anybody. If something offends me, I can either change it myself or ask that it be changed. And "...half-assed knockoff of TFWiki with fewer editors and less information." implies that this wiki is unprofessional while TFwiki is professional.Yzz, Master of DOOM 03:04, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

See, no, you can't just change things that offend you. What if I claim that the colour blue offends me? Does that mean I can go around and remove any mentions of the colour blue? Hell no. -- Semysane 07:15, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with part of your statement and disagree with another part. Just because one person finds something offensive doesn't mean everyone else should have to cater to their complaints; that's what pissed me off about the ignorant moron that accused Google of hosting child pornography because someone posted scanlations of Dance in the Vampire Bund. Use of the word "god" in a joking manner is not in any way a deliberate insult to anyone's faith, nor does it violate Wikia rules and guidelines, and thus there is no need to remove it from any of the articles. Like I said before, if you don't like it, don't read it, because this wiki belongs to everyone and the majority rules. However, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't this wiki exist BEFORE TFWiki? And aren't both sites hosted by Wikia anyway, making this whole "war of the wikis" pointless? Xeno the Hedgehog 10:36, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

TFWiki.net is not hosted by Wikia. TFWiki.net exists because the community that originally built this wiki up got fed up with being jerked around by Wikia, so they took the content they had made and set it up on an independent server. --125.238.252.209 12:20, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

@Semysane: "What if I claim that the colour blue offends me? Does that mean I can go around and remove any mentions of the colour blue?" Except that the colour blue is a fact about...any character/object/place that features blue. By the same token, Primus and Unicron are identified as gods (depending on continuity). If someone uses blue in a way that has no impact on article's usefulness, go ahead and remove it. But you can't take out "Blurr is blue" anymore than I can take out "the dark god of chaos".Yzz, Master of DOOM 21:52, June 27, 2010 (UTC) @Xeno "Use of the word "god" in a joking manner is not in any way a deliberate insult to anyone's faith, nor does it violate Wikia rules and guidelines, and thus there is no need to remove it from any of the articles." Ok, but removing the word(s) doesn't violate the rules and guidelines either.Yzz, Master of DOOM 21:51, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, going by some of the wiki's guidelines, you could say that you are violating the neutrality policies. "Do not only one point of view, but all relevant viewpoints as necessary." "Gather facts from other perspectives or other points of view." This would seem to indicated that you can't just force Wiki articles to mesh with your own point of view and ignore all others. -- Semysane 18:48, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

"Do not only one point of view, but all relevant viewpoints as necessary." Then by wiki guidelines I'm okay. Because everyone else (so far) is pushing one view, and I am pushing an equally revelant view. "This would seem to indicated that you can't just force Wiki articles to mesh with your own point of view and ignore all others." Yeah, but unless we're talking actual info/quotes/or photo captions, nothing is off-limits.

And I don't see how taking out one word ruins the entirety of an article or how it detracts from neutrality. Also, neutrality only covers REAL information. Not jokes.Yzz, Master of DOOM 19:08, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

No, Neutrality applies to ALL content, regardless of its nature. Xeno the Hedgehog 23:19, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Sentinel Prime (Animated) isn't so neutral. And you have to prove that any of my edits have caused a loss of neutrality in any article.Yzz, Master of DOOM 23:37, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

You are making articles inherently Christian, how is that neutral? -- Semysane 07:00, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Eh, no I'm not. None of the things I edited endorse Christianity. If I started putting in Bible verses & Catechism quotes you'd have a point, but I haven't, and won't, with the exception of my user page, or any talk pages I may leave a message upon.

If I hadn't elaborated, you or anyone would never have known if I were a Christian wishing that more people showed Him respect or militant atheist. As it stands, none of my edits promote any religion (or lack thereof).Yzz, Master of DOOM 15:38, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

You DO realize "using the lord's name in vain" is a distinctly Judeo-Christian idea, right? Other people don't usually feel a need to avoid using the name of a deity they don't believe in. You are editing articles to conform to the first and third commandments. How can you say your edits don't endorse Christianity? -- Semysane 19:49, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

My actions may endorse Christianity, but none of the text I have added or deleted does. Show me, explicitly & without invoking any data on talk pages, where in any article I promote Christianity.Yzz, Master of DOOM 20:14, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

And without your actions, this would be a happy, secular place for accumulating non-religious knowledge. -- Semysane 02:30, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Please. As much as I would like that someone, somewhere learned something important about religion, there isn't any religious knowledge that I've posted except for the 2nd commandment waaay up there^ in the second post.--Yzz, Master of DOOM 02:49, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

This doesn't change the point that this is not your personal pulpit, and you don't get to force it to conform to YOUR personal beliefs. -- Semysane 03:05, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

I must ask, why do you continue spinning the wheels? Are you trying to get me to troll/flame you so that I get banned? And why do you feel that I must conform to your secular beliefs?--Yzz, Master of DOOM 03:25, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

To try and prove that this ship is sinking and should be abandoned before it drags you all into the deep with it. -- Semysane 06:36, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Have to say I'm with Semysane insofar as the funny goes. I mean, fact is, the vast vast majority of people who want to edit a funny wiki and have the knowledge to do a good job are busy over at TFWiki, leaving you with your current crop of few editors that are (judging from your Recent Changes) mostly doing a poor job. The only way this wiki's going to go anywhere is if you start making yourself unique. By removing the funny you will be distinguishing yourself from us and will be more likely to attract those knowledgeable people who currently aren't editing a TF Wiki because they don't like a "funny" approach.

Personally, if this wiki isn't going to be deleted or drop off the search results, I'd prefer it to get shaped up. But as long as you insist on remaining as a third-rate copy of us (since you're basically right now a funny TF Wiki but much more poorly maintained and with much, much less information) that's not going to happen.

I mean, if you're such a fan of the funny, I have to wonder why you're still here trying to bail water out of a sinking ship, Xeno, instead of over on a wiki that's currently thriving, healthy, and growing.

You guys are still hovering in the 7000 range while we just hit 11000 articles, and many of the first 7000 articles we share with you also have much, much more information in them now on our side. Surely this is a sign that you really need to start doing things differently instead of clinging to an approach that obviously is not working, yes? --96.233.189.196 00:46, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

The unfunny captions needs to go.

Moved from Talk:Main Page

Whats with these horrible unfunny captions? I'm looking around and they don't even give out valid information of what the picture is. I want to know what is going on in the picture or what the picture is about. I don't want to read unfunny bullshit. -- 72.209.44.189 12:40, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Old stuff said before

In my opinion, old funny can stay as long as it is really funny (on the other hand, I've add {{Excessivesarcasm}} for some pages, hoping some users can help clean them up); while the newly created page (most of them are from the "Exodus"), it should be as normal as we can. --TX55^TALK 04:50, June 22, 2010 (UTC)

This is how we do things here. If you don't like it, nobody is forcing you to read them. Xeno the Hedgehog 14:21, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Actually they do tell you, hover your mouse over the picture and it will tell you. The captions stay. -- Skycommander00 17:24, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

I'm looking around and apparently not many people like how things are done here. I can't blame them either. I come to a wiki I expect to see some valid information, if I wanted to go to a funny wiki I would look at Encyclopedia Dramatica. This entire wiki looks like it was vandalized and the jokes are extremely unfunny. -- 72.209.44.189 12:01, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

"The funny" is not funny.

There is NOTHING funny about anything here. It's low grade sophmoric dry humor that is incredibly stale and shoved down our throats. There is no funny here, nothing here is funny and it needs to go. -- 72.209.44.189 12:46, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Earth Mode

Why doesn't Megatron take on an earth vehicle mode? Teh lolz! BPL 01:09, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

• He despises humanity. Probably doesn't want to sully himself by doing that.

Deepest Part of the Sea

I think the SecDef made a mistake saying that that trench I can't spell was the deepest when it's not. This might explain why Megatron was not crushed by the pressure, right? Teh lolz! BPL 01:09, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Transtech Megatron

Anyone else notice the INCREDIBLE similarity between ROTF Megatron and this Megatron? Note that in the Revenge of the Fallen Game, if you use your fusion cannon in vehicle-mode, your treads spread out and lift you up off the ground, nearly identical to that one's. --Thunderboom

Which Megatron is the one in the link? Teh lolz! BPL 19:33, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Um, that would be Transtech Megatron, just like the subtitle says... :P Jeep! 16:31, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

What's Transtech Megatron. Never heard of it. Is it official or fanon? Teh lolz! BPL 23:16, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Official. Transtech was the planned series to follow Beast Machines. It was scrapped at the design stage and RiD was imported as a stop-gap while Armada was planned. Jeep! 23:33, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

• Apparently, to Megatron, humans are like potato chips, because he can't stop with just one.
• If one thinks about it, movie Megatron's whole concept — fanged, spaceship altmode, obsession with finding a Matrix-y artifact, subordinate to an elder Decepticon power — are extremely reminiscent of a certain villain of lesser fame.

Damage Megatron sustains in ROTF

The big guy gets half of his face blown off and his right arm sliced off. Kinda makes ya wonder where Megatron will recieve repairs, eh? -- User:ChipmunkRaccoon -- 4:29 pm 9/2/2010

Split

Editions made due to content from live action films now go here: Galvatron (Tyran)/707.04 Delta.

Toy information goes here: Galvatron (Tyran)/Toys.

Only books, comics and game content may be added on this page until they are given their own pages for their continuity, too.--FortressMaximus #realcanon #TruEU #webuylegends (Talk) 22:34, April 18, 2017 (UTC)

Is there going to be a mention of Megatron meeting the fallen and that the Fallen convinced him to form the Decepticons? (That was in the Fallen article on this wiki) Another thing is that this wiki seems a bit messy Sclera1 (talk) 10:56, June 10, 2017 (UTC)

If this was mentioned in the movies please place it in Galvatron (Tyran)/707.04 Delta.--FortressMaximus #realcanon #TruEU #webuylegends (Talk) 23:15, June 10, 2017 (UTC)
