Transformers One (film) → Transformers One – There is no other article with this name to differentiate with by adding "(film)". Page might be result of move from draftspace, but Transformers One was already used as a redirect. IAmNMFlores (talk) 20:01, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Dispute May 2024

@HannibalSnow:It's clear this dispute is going nowhere and we are just going to keep reverting each others edits, so I want to bring this to an end right now. I would rather the page be like this, but you want it like this. My justifications are as follows:

• For the removal of the logo: Film logo's are usually not featured in the body of articles, unless there is a significant reason to do so
• Removal of Transformers characters from cast: Characters appearing in a film is not "Voice cast" information. Wait till we know who voices them
• Removal of installment no.: It is not a part of that main Transformers series. According to the director, they do not even share continuity.
• Premise: I do not even need to tell you that content should match the source.

If you do not respond to this and just continue to revert my edits, than I will have to bring in a third party to come and help resolve things Zingo156 (talk) 20:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

• Actually, according to Josh Cooley, it's canon to the live action films. https://comicbook.com/movies/news/transformers-one-director-confirms-new-movies-canon-status/ --Legobro99 (talk) 17:12, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

  Just read the source and he does not give a concrete answer of any sorts. Also characters appearing in a film is not something worthy of being in the Cast section. Zingo156 (talk) 11:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

  He said all of the above. Legobro99 (talk) 16:08, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

  ''all of the above'' is not adequate, and he is being very vague with his answering so I say we leave it out for now. Also characters appearing in a film is not something worthy of being in the Cast section. Zingo156 (talk) 16:25, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

  I say we leave it on there. Legobro99 (talk) 16:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

  Bayverse ended with the last knight and no matter how much lorenzo bs nonsense he spits the newer movies won't be connected to the michael bay movies, trying to connect them will cause the plot to have more holes than a colander Adam p. Hardy (talk) 17:31, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Legobro99 is still edit warring over this in July[1] Why does any of this need to be highlighted in the lead section at all? The WP:LEAD is supposed to summarize the key points and not give undue weight to trivial details. The key points are that this film is animated (not live action) and that it tells an origin story set on Cybertron. The alleged chronology of the franchise is irrelevant (DiBonaventura is obviously going to say whatever he thinks is most likely to get people to see the movie) and only Legobro99 seems to feel that is necessary to force this verbiage into the lead section. We cannot even be sure about how it all connects (or fails to follow existing chronology) until it is actually released. It is simply not important information for any normal reader encyclopedia reader and Legobro99 is doing readers no favors by forcing it into the lead section. -- 109.79.169.204 (talk) 20:24, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I have to side with you. There is so much information contradicting that statement in the films, and I think basing the lead on the word of a single producer is silly. Zingo156 (talk) 07:50, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Steve Buscemi as Starscream

The Hollywood Handle (Who is currently at SDCC - Where TF: One is being previewed), just announced via Twitter that Steve Buscemi had been cast as Starscream, is someone able to update the article to reflect this new information?

You need to stop edit warring over Transformers One, Transformers (film) isn't connected to Transformers One in any way at all, No Reliable sources could not be found at all. Untamed1910 (talk) 20:34, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what part of that Collider article Legobro99 thinks helps support his point but it is irrelevant and totally unnecessary to keep forcing tedious long winded verbiage about continuity into the WP:LEAD section of this encyclopedia article. Variations of this edit war have been going on for a while and Legobro99 did not stop then either, this problem seems unlikely to stop anytime. -- 109.79.169.204 (talk) 20:55, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Wow do you literally believe lorenzo di Bonaventura is reliable source, he literally knows jack shit and lost all his credibility when he started obsessing over the bay movies and that they all have to connected which there ain't Adam p. Hardy (talk) 12:00, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Misleading "standing ovation"

A version of the film was previewed at the Annecy Film festival. The section was later modified without any discussion or explanation (diff) to mention that the film received a "standing ovation" at this festival. Unfortunately without further information and proper cultural context this is wildly misleading. The cultural context is that French film festival goers frequently give standing ovations to filmmakers and guests, such applause is not a rare occurrence as it would be elsewhere. When industry publications like Variety report on such standing ovations they frequently have to explain how long the standing ovation actually lasted for context so that readers familiar with the industry can guess if it measures up to other occasions. Although I'm sure this added in good faith but for this _encyclopedia article_ it is out of context puffery and including it is not at all a neutral point of view WP:NPOV. It would be better to revert it entirely (diff) or trim back to the just the part "with audience and social media reactions reportedly being positive." -- 109.79.169.204 (talk) 20:46, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Got it, I think I'm going to cut it out entirely. Zingo156 (talk) 07:58, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
