- Comments
- Is there anything to link to for "origins subplot" in the lead?
- I had trouble with this, too. The best I could do is link to the Dinobots article, as apparently their origin is different in each continuity, but "Gen 1" is the official origin.
- "Optimus engages Megatron directly, and Bumblebee later heads to join him after being temporarily rerouted." That sentence is a bit confusing.
- Reworded
- Energon, capitalized or not? I see both.
- Lower case, fixed
- What is Iacon?
- Clarified
- Is there a way to explain what a "power core" is without getting too tangential? It's a bit of a specialized term for a lay reader.
- Clarified
- "During an investor conference in November 2010 Hasbro confirmed that a sequel to the 2010 game Transformers: War for Cybertron would be developed with a release set for fall in 2012.[7][10]" I don't see "fall 2012" in either of those sources. Also, it's preferred to avoid using seasons, since southern hemisphere readers will be reversed. Finally, "in" should not be between the time of year and the year's number.
- Removed season and year entirely as it the sentence's focus is on confirming the development.
- "He further praised the game's predecessor and stated that it was "shockingly good"." Necessary to mention this in reference to previous game?
- Removed
- I noticed that generally Optimus Prime is referred to as Optimus for short, but caught one instance of calling him Prime. Double check for consistency.
- Found no other instances in a search where Prime was used as a shortener
- The ordering of the DLC packs is a little confusing. Do you have a date for the Multiplayer Havoc Pack? Why is it mentioned after the other two packs, when it was supposedly the first one released? Also, none of the last part of the last paragraph in the release section is sourced.
- Fixed
- Is there anything to link to for "origins subplot" in the lead?
- Otherwise, this is a very good article, and I'll be ready to promote it after addressing the above. —Torchiest talkedits 19:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
