[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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.
