Nice to see another person who's willing to provide toy pictures! :-) --Inkblot (talk) 19:39, 21 December 2013 (EST)

Hey, just wanted to drop by with a big thumbs up for your work adding stock photos and filling out redlinks. Your time and effort is much appreciated! Jalaguy (talk) 02:38, 8 October 2014 (EDT)

Thanks! I'm glad to help the wiki. --Fritz (talk) 17:24, 8 October 2014 (EDT)

Fiction sections should be written "in universe" as if the events were real. Your additions to Runway, Heavytread, Windshear and Centuritron were descriptions of game play. In universe, characters are not "unlocked" and there is no "player". --Khajidha (talk) 07:12, 13 February 2015 (EST)

Understood. But since there's no story in Battle Tactics, then what should be written about the game in the characters' articles? --Fritz (talk) 11:19, 13 February 2015 (EST)

In that case something vague but informative about the overall premise usually does the trick. I haven't played the game, but from what I've seen, maybe something along the lines of "Centuritron was a participant in a series of battles taking place in various Earth environments.

Centuritron could be recruited to your roster of warriors by promoting Windshear, Runway and Heavytread each to their maximum "level." He was, to date, the strongest recruitable warrior that could participate in the conflict."

Maybe also noting if the character uses any signature special ability or weapons, or if he/she can be only be "recruited" in a certain environment or under certain circumstances, whatever. Also, although the word "player" doesn't fit into in-fiction write-ups, we do have an article for "you" so refering the player that way is fair game. --Ascendron (talk) 11:56, 13 February 2015 (EST)

Appreciate all the Battle Tactics sprite additions. I thought about doing it myself but my phone has crappy resolution and also I'm pretty lazy. -LV (talk) 01:11, 13 May 2015 (EDT)

About your Transformers:Battle Tactics Images

I'm planning to replace them with my own images. If you haven't heard, this game is closing in May, and before it closes the game has finale event where I am to collect all the bots in the game.

Theses images are all a standard size, and shows all bots' upgrade profiles at their max level, unlike your images, which are from the Character build selection (not all bots can be built) and at mostly level 1. Also, you didn't get any images of the bots with multiple forms, such as Bumblebee and the Seekers.

Apologies for replacing your images, I feel it would be better than adding new extra images on this wiki. But you did provide good early images of the early versions of the bots before they were re-balanced.

Go ahead, I'm sure you can do a great work. --Fritz (talk) 10:37, 13 April 2016 (EDT)

Your edit to Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 cartoon)

Jalaguy reverted your edit due to multiple grammar and spelling errors, but a quick search also shows that it was extremely similar to announcements at tfw2005.com, seibertron.com, and tformers.com. These are all apparently based on a press release. Please note that we do not copy (and that includes paraphrases as close as your contribution was) official material. All contributions here should be in your own words. --Khajidha (talk) 08:06, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

It wasn't me. Only thing I did was change "Blurr (RID)" to "Blurr (Prime)". Don't know about any of the other stuff.--Fritz (talk) 10:03, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

Oops. Sorry, I misread the edit history. My apologies. --Khajidha (talk) 12:00, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

Star Was TFs vs Crossovers

I reverted several of your moves from Crossovers to SWTFs because all of the ones I checked were acually released in packaging bearing the TF Crossovers logo. I do not have time to check all of your edits (and should not need to). You need to go back and double check the rest to insure that you did not make the same error in other cases.--Khajidha (talk) 07:36, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

I can do it, no problem. The thing is though, because I'm no expert and there's a lot of packaging variants between SWTF and Crossovers, I ultimately based my judgement on our own SWTF page claiming those toys belong there rather than in Crossovers. If that information is wrong, then those pages should be corrected (preferably by someone who knows it for sure). -- Fritz (talk) 10:13, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

The ORIGINAL releases were in SWTF packaging. Many of the rereleases were in TF Crossovers packaging. --Khajidha (talk) 14:26, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

Do a simple Google search. I was able to find pictures of in package samples of both the SWTF and the TF Crossovers releases for all of the toys that I reverted you on. --Khajidha (talk) 14:28, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

Alright alright, I get it. All I'm saying is, our articles on both toylines should be clearer about all re-releases and repackagings to avoid this very scenario. I can't be blamed for trusting the wiki, can I? -- Fritz (talk) 15:52, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

Sorry, I'm probably coming across in a way I didn't really intend. I am just a few days past some very intense dental work and am letting my pain and frustration bleed through more than I should. I apologize for my tone. --Khajidha (talk) 19:10, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

No offense taken. I will in fact try to look deeper next time I find something to move around. And I hope you get better soon! -- Fritz (talk) 19:40, 22 September 2021 (EDT)

I added movie overlinks to entries that weren't using them to make them consistent to the rest of the overlinks on the page, you remove them and say "we don't use them, not even on the main studio series page" (which isn't 100% true BTW) so then I remove the rest of the overlinks to make the page once again consistent because as you said "we don't use overlinks" so once I do that suddenly "its ok to use overlinks sometimes"

dude make up your mind —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Omegafix (talk • contribs).

That's absolutely NOT what I said. In the main Studio Series page, there's precisely one link per movie in the toy listings, and that's exactly what I did to the Buzzworthy page to keep it consistent.

By "overlink" I meant "too many links". And by the way, the links aren't called "overlink", their actual full name is "hyperlink", just so you know. -- Fritz (talk) 20:11, 1 July 2023 (EDT)

Hound cancellation source

The source you provided is about a different toy from 2007... no doubt a simple paste-error, please update. Also, bear in mind the widespread leaks of a different release option for this toy after all; is this note likely to be superseded in the short term? --Thylacine 2000 (talk) 09:41, 17 January 2024 (EST)

Yyyykes, yeah, my bad, thanks for catching that. Also, I was in doubt between marking the toy as uncertain or cancelled and decided to go with the former. But if we are so sure that that specific version of the toy will never see the light of day, then I guess it's better to just have it as cancelled already. --Fritz (talk) 09:54, 17 January 2024 (EST)
