Talk:List of The Transformers episodes

message: All of the episodes of this series fail the notability guidelines for television episodes. The way for these articles to be improved is through the inclusion of real-world information from reliable sources to assert notability. That is unlikely to happen, and these only have certain bad aspects (though all may not apply) like containing overly long or one sentence plot summaries, trivia, and quotes. Per that, they need to be a small part of this list. 
If there are no objections, these will be redirected soon. Otherwise, discussion will take place here. Please remember that this is not a vote. If you like the information, that's fine and dandy, but your opinion doesn't really count towards anything. The only opinions that do count are ones that that lean towards the inclusion of real world information. TTN 22:37, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Against - Yeah, yeah. That's BS. Quote policy all you want if it makes you feel special. A summary of a "real world" television episode is as valid as anything else on here. The appeal of Wikipedia is that you can find information on anything. Limiting the information available on here (and that is what you're doing) makes Wikipedia LESS useful, less user-oriented, and in the end, fewer people will use it. These kinds of grumpy, small-minded rules just show the powers behind Wikipedia being miserly. ShotgunBlues42 (talk) 15:56, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Episode notability

message: The text says that “the episodes are ordered chronologically by broadcast date”, but there are few towards the end whose reported "No. overall" does not actually match if that were so:

thread_title:   Not actually "ordered chronologically by broadcast date"  

message: The Production Codes aren't arbitrary numbers that line up with whatever episode order people think the episodes they should go in; they are numbers that are registered with the episodes themselves.  JoeD80 (talk) 13:31, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

message: There appears to be a date conflict in this list with regards to when Transformers season 3 ended. In the 'Series overview' table the season finale is stated as March 3, 1987, but in the list of actual season 3 episodes a different date is implied. The two part The Return of Optimus Prime is listed as having aired February 24th and 25th, but other sources claim it aired 
March 2nd and 3rd. Which set of dates is the correct one?
It would appear the early date in February is more accurate, at least according to this archived video: :
Thought it best to verify this before changing the date in the article. --Apple2gs (talk) 01:02, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: No one has commented on this in over a week so I made the date change in the table from March 3, 1987 -> February 25, 1987. If this is incorrect, please feel free to revert the edit (and discuss the reasons why here).--Apple2gs (talk) 04:09, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

message: The page states that "The episodes are ordered chronologically by broadcast date" but, in this case, shouldn't Aerial Assault be episode 41 of season 2 instead of episode 48, since it aired on December 10, 1985 (before Masquerade, which aired on December 16)? Or maybe the dates are wrong? WGC (talk) 20:52, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this list has a lot of issues. I've never spent the time to go through to make sure it's organized by broadcast air date. It would also be nice if the actual prod. codes could be determined and sourced... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:20, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
