We're calling it World's Smallest Transformers. Kind of like Masterforce and Super God Masterforce are synonymous with each other even though Super God Masterforce is the official title. I know the name was "Smallest Transformers" (though I think the name actually translates to "Smallest Transforming Transformers") but most everyone refers to it as WST from ebay to online retailers to the knock offs and other unofficial product lines.
The differences between Hasbro and Takara's series make figuring out names for each year a mess anyways so let's just add another one to the list.

It's always WST by my book. If I don't call them WSTs I'll be constipated.

And they really are the world's smallest Transformers. Pedantic is useless, WST is efficient, we all know what it refers to.
On topic, I love the galleries and the few figures I have, give me more!

I identified an error and corrected that error. Was it rude because I corrected the error without a fluffy ego-stroke or because I dared to point out a mistake at all?
And of course, fans never get it wrong, and an error never gets perpetuated as a myth. Because that would be absurd and incapable of occurring.
Don't believe me, fine. But you should actually check into it first before you categorically dismiss it, to prove me wrong.

A lot of work goes into the site resources. A lot of people put their valuable time into them. While constructive criticism is a contribution in of itself, your snip is not helpful.
I never said that the resources themselves were not appreciated, or that people's time was not valuable. But if you want to be the bastion of indispensable Transformers resources, you should be aiming to be as correct as you can. Errors happen, but you've exactly proven my point about using imaginary names by dismissing my correction based on, well, eBay, instead of actually looking into it. Correcting one label does not invalidate the work done on this array of galleries. Unless you choose to.

Deathsaurus, it wasn't rude that you pointed out the error. It was rude was that you made a smart alec comment about the Encore line to make your point. That was the unnecessary part. I don't have any problem with people pointing out errors. There's just no sense in continuing to discuss this issue any further.
The series has two titles in the database ... "Smallest Transformers" and "World's Smallest Transformers". One is the alternate, the other is the primary. Everyone knows what we're talking about when we say "WST" just like everyone knows that we're talking about Super God Masterforce when we say Masterforce.
Please keep this topic on track.

A new one just hit the knockoff toy market. It's Smallest Transformers Thundercracker in metallic finish. Looks pretty sweet.

I have just bought a WST Soundwave off Trademe (Think NZ eBay) for 25USD shipped. Now I am worried, is there a KO Soundwave out there or have I got a good deal?
I have seen Soundwave on eBay for far far more.
