Ported this over from The Transformers (animated series). I'm not very good with wikitables. These are kinda glitchy. They don't want to stay the same shape or show all the lines. I'm hoping somebody who is good with tables will come along and polish this up.  :D WallyCuddeford 02:26, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad the list is on it's own page, I think it needed to be. I just started editing so I'm definitely not the one to fix the tables up D: but I hope someone will. Right now I'm focused on getting screencaps of all the characters for the list. Also, something needs to be done with Season 3 characters, seeing how they're completely absent from this list. I don't know whether all of the characters should be on one huge list or whether it should be split up between seasons, as someone mentioned before, or something else.

Cool, thanks for yer help.  :D Yeah, I was going to add them all in order of first appearance, and I do have DVD of the first half of Season 3, but not the second half of Season 2, so I just kind of stopped, not being able to go straight in order. I can still just add the Season 3 people, and let somebody else come by later and add anyone I might have missed from Season 2. Personally, I don't think it's worth separating by season, as most characters span multiple seasons, and they'll be kinda listed that way anyway if they're arranged by order of first appearance.

I have the second half of Season 2, so I'll go ahead and start adding characters sometime soon. You're probably right about them being listed seperately. I think one comprehensive character list like this works best instead of them sprawled out everywhere... :D Moesakaru 01:10, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
That'd be sweet on the Season 2 thing.  :D But, you know, no hurry. Wikipedia will survive. In the meantime, I found The Key to Vector Sigma at the video store, so I can put in the characters introduced there, at least. WallyCuddeford 21:38, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and I think the list should only include characters that have appeared in more than one episode (counting different parts of a multi-part episode as all one episode). So that would include Dr. Arkeville and Marissa Fairborne, but would leave out Nightbird and various one line characters. WallyCuddeford 20:38, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Should I add screencaps and info on the female autobots? As far as I can tell they only appear in the episode 'The Search for Alpha Trion'. Niven 21:04, 10 August 2006 (GMT)

I added the remaining needed pics and bios, provided entries for the three Autobot Targetmasters, and arranged the entries within each team in stricter order of appearance. (They were roughly in that order already.) I left the "Others" section and existing text alone. The only things I replaced were hard-to-see images of Buzzsaw and Ratbat; I think these are clearer.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
