Transalt?[]
Where did this term get started? I recall the Dinoforce would say "Trans out!" when emerging from their shells, so I'm guessing that's the origin. Even if I've misheard the phrase, it's clearly a form of transformation activation code/battle cry, not a term describing the shells. Unless there's evidence to the contrary, I'd recommend simply eliminating the word.--Apcog 02:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have no objections. I didn't delete them because I wasn't sure, but I figured you'd know better than I. --M Sipher 03:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Done and done, then. Thankfully, it was only used twice. On another note, should there be a "Dinoforce" category for Goryu & co.?--Apcog 04:20, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Nah. I don't think you were around for this discussion... we decided that most subteams shouldn't also have categories, just to kind of avoid clutter. The rough minimum for a character-based "subteam" category is about eight members. We have "Aerialbots" and "Seacons" and "Dinobots" categories because, well, there's a lot of those all told, once you account for other continuities. --M Sipher 04:42, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. I asked because Breastforce and Multiforce have their own categories, is all.--Apcog 08:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, we thought about that. But figure 7 individuals (is Deathcobra in there too?), 8 breastplate partners, and a combo robot... then six individual Multis, three double-combos and a full combo... The numbers just came out big enough. --M Sipher 08:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- I wasn't considering it so much from a membership numbers POV as a Victory sub-groups POV. As you said, though, I wasn't around for the conversation deciding not to give categories to subgroups below a certain head count. I note there's no Brainmasters category, either, so I suppose it's consistent.--Apcog 03:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
