The TF Wiki

Thanks chaps. I stuck him under "Other toys" since he didn't have any sort of official subline.

* Optimus Prime (Spychanger, 2007)

This toy is a redeco of Robots In Disguise Spychanger Scourge, painted to resemble Movie Optimus Prime. Of note is the tampographed detailing on his chest resembling Movie Prime's distinctive chest design. He was only available exclusively in Japan with a pre-order for the Transformers DVD and HD-DVD.

He has no Japanese ID number right?

My apologies for the unfinished state of the Movie Prime toy page. Because we do the wiki as a hobby, we often do things when we feel like it. After all, the easiest way to lose interest is to treat this like a job and try to push on beyond your levels of interest.

Why don't you sign up for a proper account and discuss this at the wiki? Posting it here seems like you're asking FFN to do your dirty work for you.

Moderation Note:
I tend to agree with Jaydisc here. The TF Wiki has a discussion page for every article. You don't even need to sign in to post a query about content in their discussion pages.

This board should not be used to criticise particular points of content on another website, especially when that website already allows any body to question or discuss the content.

The other option you have is to PM FFN if you like with these comments, but posting them on the TF Wiki's discussion pages would be the better option.

Naw, I don't mind too much. At least Gok alerts me to problems I wouldn't otherwise know about.

Thanks FFN. He has no Japanese ID number. And no need for any apology since you guys do the wiki as a hobby. I was under the impression that the page was trying to be as complete as it could be. As a fan I noticed the missing toys and just wanted to point out or help if I could. NEVER meant to "order" you around or treat it as your job. Never any rush.

Thanks for reminding me about them. I totally forgot about the Trans-Scanning and DVD Spychanger.

I was just looking at the old Wikia Teletraan 1 wiki and was both amused and sad at how unprofessional it was becoming, especially the bad, low-resolution pictures being uploaded without descriptions, Wikipedia-style.

Also amused that evidently the new staff there (well, one guy) decided to ditch our officially-confirmed news only policy, and, like the Wikipedia, is reporting ROTF information from unofficial sources.

Yeah, I'm petty.

FFN, what's the deal with the "old" site, anyway? Was there like a split or something?

IIRC, they just abandoned it in favour of a host that didn't cover half their articles with advertising. Unfortunately the original host won't just remove the framework of a 'free' wiki, it has to be left there like an abandoned house, allowing any squatters to use or vandalise the premises. So while the framework (sub-domain) exists, deleting the contents by the outgoing owners is a waste of time because the contents can be re-installed at any time by the new 'owners'.

Wikia wouldn't delete it partly because the Teletraan I wikia was one of their most popular wikis, and they used it for propaganda purposes when promoting how the new Wikia layout (which itself was later modified to include more intrusive advertising). Wikia claimed since changing we received a spike of hits. IIRC, the problem was their claimed jump in the number of visits was due to the BotCon weekend and the days when new episodes of Animated aired, so we would have been expecting jumps in visitors regardless of layout.

Lots of non-fan sites linked to the Teletraan I wikia during the filming of Revenge of the Fallen because of certain rumours, which doesn't help. Our article for a certain character related to this was updated to beef up the fiction section/biography and include more images, but it's still on page 3 of google searches.
