[edit] Change of external wiki link?
It's a minor thing, to be sure... but would anyone object if the "Transformers" link was changed from wikipedia (which... euuuugh) to TF Wiki, an independent wiki that tackles the subject with the same amount of insane attention to detail over a ridiculous subject matter as this wiki's?

[edit] Example overload
Somewhere in the last few dozen edits, a whole lot of examples of transformers (with tfwiki links) got added to this page, but are they really needed? For example:
“This is a reference to characters such as Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Motormaster, the Micromaster Overload, and the Turbomaster Thunder Clash, who all transform into semi-trucks,”
Optimus Prime is by far the most prominent and well-known semi-truck transformer. I realize transformers has a deep and extensive lore, but it’s not directly H*R related and I don’t think we need that level of detail. To put it in H*RW language, all the other examples are basically TTATOT. -113.37.226.89 03:26, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- I actually was planning to clean that up before seeing your comment - I agree, I don't think more than two examples are needed (and most should just have one). In addition, there were a bunch of examples added that had no American release or that came out years after the toon in question. Anything that didn't appear in the G1 animated series I think is pretty unlikely to be referenced by TBC.
- I also consider "Crackotage's jet looks like Starscream" too much of a reach, but eh. -- Bleu Ninja
