« on: February 16, 2012, 08:35:24 PM »
What should we use for the bot shots?



The white-on-white ones?

I guess so that would work.

If it were my choice, I'd prefer to use one symbol per factions/sub-groups across all lines. But I know I'm in the minority when it comes to that.

Granted, that would make our lives easier, but really?

It's just my personal preference. However, that does not mean I don't love the history of packaging symbols/faction guide. I just get annoyed when a symbol seems to be "hard-coded" into the line and we get this type of result: Elita-1. When in fact, she should have a symbol the Classics symbol. For toys like that, we should at least have an option to change or choose the "correct" toyline symbol. It's a bit messy in Timelines when it comes to the faction symbols.

Didn't mean any offense, and hope it was not taken that way.

You're a mod! You have full access to the faction tools. If that symbol for Elita-1 is not correct, you can fix it. In fact, I'd love it if you guys would take over on that stuff. I'm way too busy with features, and I don't know what I'm doing, anyway. Also, Spliffdizzle is getting pretty good at creating the artwork as needed. Talk to Engledogg for details, and away you go.

Yes...something simple, an easy fix.  This?  Nope, not at all.  This isn't an instance of changing a Starscream figure that's incorrectly marked "Autobot" to "Decepticon" or even adding the proper symbol/image to the database. 

To put the correct symbol (the Classics symbol) requires an override at not just the product level, but at the figure level, something we don't have at the moment.

What Mike said. Anyway to have an override to put the correct symbols on certain figures/records?
