WikiProject Transformers To-do:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Deletion sorting : see: WikiProject Deletion sorting/Transformers
Disambiguation : organize articles at Transformers (disambiguation)

Verify : Transformers, The Transformers (TV series)
Other tasks :
- Tag the talk pages of Transformers-related articles with the {{WikiProject Transformers}} banner.
- Gather support and attract TransFans to support and assist in the WikiProject.
- Discuss standards, starting point, and come to agreement on some uniformity among Transformers pages (the most complicated and obvious being a standardized format for a Transformer biography).
- Begin the task of updating individual Transformers pages.
- Discuss the possible merging TF Series and TF Universes. Upon consensus, execute whatever the going-forward plan might be.
- Monitor article alerts that are posted automatically.

When the toy line was released, it was supported by a comic book series from Marvel, an animated series and a gamut of other merchandising tie-ins. The crowning glory to its achievement was a 1986 feature film even though it performed disappointingly.

Why is it a "glory" if it was a failure? The hugely successful toyline made a lot of money as did the TV show in its first couple of seasons while the movie was a box office flop with a a mere $5,849,647 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092106/business). As of 1990, Transformers toys made almost $950 million (http://www.seibertron.com/infozone/articles/index.php?action=view&article_id=39), and I am certain that number is much, much higher today. In 1985 alone the toy line made Hasbro $333 million.
