Thanks for letting us know, strag. I'm looking into it right now.

Seems to be the Starscreams that use numbers in the URL.

Fixed! That was a tricky one to solve.

Not sure if this is an error or not, but almost all the pages excluding G1 have no pics coming up when I go there.

I figure it's either an error or there are just no pics on thos pages yet. Might as well report ot just in case.

Could you post a few example URLs, please? There're tons of non-G1 catalogs with photos. Eg:
Animated
RTS
Titanium
etc

GoBots
Battle Beasts
Energon has a few.
Beast Wars
Most of G2.
A few in Animated.
Cybertron
Armada
Also, in Collect mode, when try to "want" something all it does is take me back to the top of the page.

Yeah, some of those are missing a few photos, and some are missing many photos. Can you contribute some to improve the catalogs?

What do we do to bugs?

Give it a try now, mate.

So I'm stuck on what I should do here,

TF:P Cyberverse seems to have some NON TFP toys in it. ie. Soundwave, Mirage and Evac.
Soundwave and Mirage are DOTM molds and Evac is based on an amusement park character. The next thing that's interesting about these 3 is that they have what appears to be PRIME packaging, but without the PRIME branding

examples.
Here is Soundwave's box

And here's Bee

Clearly both use PRIME packaging, but you will notice on Soundwave's that below "Transformers" there is NO "Prime" branding whereas Bees does.

So I dunno what to do with this for my catalog. It's obvious these characters don't belong in the PRIME universe, but the packaging almost convinces us elsewise.

Perhaps the 3 can be considered there own line, just plain old "Transformers Cyberverse"?, similar to "Prime Cyberverse" or "DOTM Cyberverse".

Nick or James, what do you think...

And if they are considered their own line outside of Prime, I volunteer for that catalog.

Yeah, fair point. Hasbro seems fond of these odd includes lately. Another good example is the GIJOE 30th Anniversary line with the Renegades sub-line built in. So far I'm thinking you can denote the sub-line in the curation tools without us actually splitting out the catalogue. We could always correct that if the products split further off from Prime with non-Prime deluxes, etc.

If you're down with that, go ahead and set it up and we'll revisit as the line develops.

Cheers!

James
