It's a word with a strict dictionary definition, and it doesn't specifically refer to Transformers, nor is it a fan-coined term like "retool" or "neon." Why would it need an article? - Dark T Zeratul 05:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- Because it's kind of important to Transformers, since it determines what things are NAMED? And the "CANT THEY JUST CALL HIM AUTOBOT HOT ROD" continuiously comes up, so having a page that explains why not we can just link to for the various explanations as to the name changes and etc would be quite the handy thing to have? --M Sipher 05:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- For the love of God, yes please. Then I wouldn't have to explain what trademarks mean in context to Transformers thirty million times a week, instead just linking a URL. That's something a dictionary definition certainly won't give. --ItsWalky 05:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- If it's so incredibly important and you all seem to know exactly what such an article should contain, then why don't you actually make it? It's been on the Most Wanted page for a while. - Dark T Zeratul 07:03, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
- We're hoping our trademark lawyer friend will write it. He's just been busy. --ItsWalky 07:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

This article is so rad.--Octopus Prime- King of the Road! 12:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup tag[]
Quite frankly, I've long felt that this article is one of the worst offenders here in terms of sacrificing useful information on the alter of dubious attempts at humor. --TVsGrady 19:22, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, poop. Always liked this one.--Chiasaur11

- The new article is excellent. The old one was actually not a dubious attempt at humor. This is not because it was brilliant (although it of course was exceedingly brilliant, by the Usual Standards for Such Things) but because it was a dubious attempt at irritating the ever-busy legal types to the point that somebody would actually write a proper article. I can't find my d20. --Autobus Prime 17:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

"Convert" not "Transform"[]
Cite me, because that was precisely what I was told when doing the TF movie game guide. Fun Publications is also under this edict. --M Sipher 05:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Danke. I'm not up on all the wiki-coding stuff yet. --M Sipher 16:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
