Some of the source material is a pain to track down, some isn't. We made a blanket rule that we see no reason to change, though, especially because the majority of Botcon and TFCC realities amount to about a gazillion different variants of G1, and we already have about a gazillion different, somewhat more official variants of G1 (and are about to get at least one or two more), so we don't feel much like adding new ones.

Big IF here but if I was to take Landshark down the road of toy-only, do I simply switch his canon for a currently accepted canon like Dreamwave's comics or the cartoon perhaps?
(sorry for all these questions, I guess many get asked and answered in your chat but I'm finding Tfwiki full of wonderful ideas)

Probably cartoon, given that Landshark was designed as a pseudo-cartoon character, but again, this character is going to have some issues. If you could find a different, more mainstream character that still has aspects you like, you'd probably have better luck with approval.

I wouldn't call it often, but I wouldn't call it uncommon, either. You might notice you're not the only one with a stalled starter going.

I have discovered Minerva (TFA) and I really like the concept, since that character is generally out of bounds however, how close can an OC be to a FC without causing upset? Looking more at recycling character model and ¡°Medic¡± and less so the stalker part or any mentoring with Ratchet.
I did have the idea for suggesting that maybe she was in one of the crowd scenes of the cartoon but I soon felt that this might be perverting canon and therefore an undesirable solution, am I on the mark?

…As a fellow player, I think you might be overthinking this a bit, dude.

Guilty as charged. But I do prefer to overthink stuff than not think stuff through enough, false assumptions can lead to too many screwups, ‘sides, I havn’t been this big a TF fan since BW, Energon kinda screwed things over for me but the special effects in the live action movies made me rejoice (the plots holes may be big enough to drive a truck through so gave the truck a lead role).
So yes I do over think stuff, and until I learn my place I will continue to do so. Thankyou for the patience and friendship so far.

An OC TFA medic who uses Minerva's character model (different colors might be a good idea) and is not Minerva and not a Ratchet stalker is fine. It's even fine if she's a Ratchet fangirl. Personal contact with Ratchet in her IC history would come under greater scrutiny. It's pretty well established that the TFA universe re-uses body models, anyway. Personally, I'm also cool with her having been in the background in various 'civilian crowd scenes' in TFA, provided you don't spring an expectation that TFA FCs recognize her on their players without pre-warning or anything like that.

Technically speaking, you could apply for Minerva as a toy-only character, just based off her tech specs, and just pull her from before "The Stunti-Con Job" happened to avoid the BotCon stuff.

ok, this is only 10% serious, don't think too hard, this isn't worth it.
how far are we realistically willing to go regarding differences in size between combiner components?
would a Zippo / Wheelie / Spyshot 6 / Omega supreme combination be a straight out no?
also what about a Omega Supreme / Rodimus Prime / Ultra Magnus / Skyfire / Grimlock / Breakaway combination for total world stomping?

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it, in order to avoid having a bunch of rules and restrictions in place that we don't actually need.

How much detail you want for a G1 cartoon Razorclaw?

We only need enough to establish what your character does and does not know when they are pulled into Deadzone. Not all admin are fluent in every canon, so having some good points of reference is helpful. If you feel an event would be pivotal to the character, then include it.

Two questions:
Does anyone want to see Crumplezone?
Is there any behind the scenes explanation why people are getting Humanized?
