I had no idea...

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

That Transformers had got so complex!

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Continuity

I think I stopped paying any real attention to the universes, reboots and micro franchises in about 2003, and it was pretty hairy then. Reading about them and the ones since, it now makes my head hurt!

I'd suggest we ditch it all and start over but that would just make another continuity!

Maybe Gobots aren't so bad after all??

TF Wiki is the greatest TF site ever. And it's a lot of fun to screw around on while watching/reading a glut of TF material!

That it is. Reminds me sort what we intended this site to be some years ago, although ours was going to be more review-y than wik-i.

It's such an incredible resource. It's kind of amazing how much content can be generated when a website's participants don't spend most of their on-site time complaining on a message board. *cough*seibertron*cough*

I know a *lot* about Transformers- but I'm always stunned at the depth of what I *don't* know when I go to the wiki.

Well, mostly- I mean, I waste of lot of time at work reading it, so I guess I do know all of that stuff now. :)
For now, it seems like IDW wants my money.

I remember a time when it was kind of tough to know all kinds of obscure TF trivia. I'm both glad that time is over and ANGRY that the same stupid arguments still persist online when the ANSWERS ARE READILY AVAILABLE. *cough*Seibertron*cough*

COUGH!!!

Not to mention when Emvee *cough* rewrites half the articles to make them a little snarky. *cough*

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

This thread needs some cough medicine, or a lozenge or something.

Sorry *cough*

Although, technically, I wasn't casting aspersions on anyone, just showing support for Emvee's stirling work.
