[edit] ATTENTION ALL EDITORS

This page is not a forum for discussion of the series, its purpose is to discuss the article itself. Please see the talk page guidelines if you are unsure what discussion is suited for this page. Lucky number 49 15:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Isn't it considered rude to delete other people's comments? Optimus Sledge 03:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Generally, yes, particularly when such is clearly an act of vandalism. However, many editors consider it acceptable behaviour to remove inappropriate content from talk pages, especially when that content is an attack on the article's subject, or is otherwise not constructive. The purpose of talk pages is to improve the article and discuss activity related to its improvement, not to badmouth or praise the topic. Lucky number 49 13:34, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Solar cycles

While the "solar cycle" might be real term I think in this show it was supposed to be synonymous with "year" - example: starscream was talking about 50 solar cycles which passed.

[edit] Vandalism

I removed some vandalism from the article. ...forgot to sign 4.165.117.245 22:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Before anybody changes anything back, I ran the article through my word processor to check for grammar and spelling. If any links need fixed, then fix them. --Presario2200 (talk) 14:08, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I've dont hat too, just a tip though, when running references through a spell checker, the quotation marks dont translate back to the wikibox right and the wikicoding does not recognize them. I had that problem with the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|Avatar] articles. Rau J16 16:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Where's Ironhide?

How come I don't see him in the Autobot section? 989 RVD 02:48, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vehicle Modes

Are the Autobots going to be anything that is not flying nor military vehicles again? IG Optimus Prime turns into a Fire Truck.

Are the Decepticons going to be flying vehicles and military vehicles again? IG Megatron turns into a jet.

Over time the Decepticons always turn into a Military vehicle or a jet. The Seekers are full of jets.

Over time Autobots always turn into civilian vehicles, trucks, cars and anything not military.

How come most movie characters appear in this? Ratchet, Bumblebee, Optimus and Jazz.

How come you are ignoring this?

Also I saw Starscreams new look. His chin and his jet is based off from a Su-47 Berkut.

[edit] Voice Actors

Some put the late Chris Latta as voicing Starscream. I corrected it to say Tom Kenny, seeing as how Chris Latta is dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.159.32.223 (talk) 00:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Megatron!

Megatron is a gun? I think he is a jet again or something. I doubt he will be a gun again. Also I doubt the show will be out in december 26.(TougHHead 07:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC))

It's easy enough to source that it will be out December 26. A Cartoon Network press release has already confirmed it. It will be an animated movie to introduce the characters entitled "Transform and Roll Out."--RosicrucianTalk 22:08, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Megatrons an Osprey as odd as that sounds.155.33.109.198 (talk) 16:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The article is horrific

Speculation, uncited information, spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes and general untidiness. It's also quite obvious that the main culprits are under 16 years old. Furthermore, like it says, this discussion page is for the ARTICLE, it is NOT a forum to talk about the series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.106.153.178 (talk) 16:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

What did you expect? It's about an upcoming Cartoon Network series. That said, I have to consider even the "cited" information to be uncertain. Cartoon Network is far too unpredictable for any information about any thing they are involved with to be certain. Brittany Ka (talk) 20:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikilinks on the episode list

I've removed the wikilinks on all the episodes:

  1. the majority of them were redlinks, and I seriously doubt that individual episode articles will pass muster
  2. those which were not redlinks were linking to inappropriate topics. I seriously doubt that a Transformer episode has any bearing on a novel based around a 1930's kidnapping in New Jersey (for a single example)

[edit] Theme Song

It states that the theme song is a remix of the 84 theme. This is inacurate statment, it's a re-recording with a different vocalist.

Who is the vocalist for the revamp of the theme song, could it be Stan Bush? It sure sounds like him. Sarujo (talk) 04:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nanosec's Age

The article lists Nanosec as ending the episode aged in his early 60s, his age was never mentioned in the show but he is clearly support to be be in at least his 80s by the end of the episode. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.83.222.244 (talk) 13:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, actually, his age does not change at all seeing as age is relative to time, only his physical state of being is changed. I am removing his age altogether. Rau J16 19:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] This article is horrible.

It still retains many of the problems that were present before it premiered. Unsourced information, speculation, trivia, grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes, MOS mistakes, format mistakes, and many other I cant think of off the top of my head. Any chance of those editors who know of reliable sources to help out? Rau's talk 01:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree. And this will probably be the same for a long time since most edits are done by people who speculate or use unreliable sources like forums. Moccamonster Talk 18:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
The edits have died down severely, considering it used to be around forty edits a day. But i am going to work on the content, and focus on sourced and unsourced as i go. Rau's talk 01:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Shouldn't we add that the voice of Spongebob (Tom Kenny)and the voice of Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) both are voices in this show? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.48.69.102 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.10.49.13 (talk) 01:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

No. WP:Trivia. Rau's Speak Page 01:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Air date wrong

Last week when I checked the TV listings the latest Transformers Animated episode was not listed to air that week. It is now April 21 so would someone please remove the air date since it turned out to be wrong?65.173.90.94 (talk) 10:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Porter C. Powel

Wouldn't it be better to list him under the villains, since he is obviously not an ally. 86.88.117.225 (talk) 15:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Split

I have moved the episodes to their own page. Rau's Speak Page 03:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't we make a link to this page, since i only found on in the schematic all the way down, and this may be a bit hard to find. Moccamonster Talk 06:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Protection?

Seeing the constant adding of speculation, should we request protection? Moccamonster Talk 21:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

It needs heavy vandalism. The addition of speculation count as Good Faith edits. Rau's Speak Page 22:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sari's age

For the last time people in "Survival of the fittest" I remember Captain Fanzone stating that Sari's 8 years old. It's also what her article said her age is. So will people please stop stating she's ten or twelve years old when that's not true?--65.173.90.94 (talk) 10:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
