Anybody catch this? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3371476/plo ... _=tt_ov_pl and this http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0919798/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Welker as Galvatron?

Faker than fake.

Some yahoo made up the same thing on Wikipedia (you could tell it was made up since the article was so poorly put together with the formatting being all messed up, and containing no official source citations), and now it's spread over into IMDB, which is just as untrustworthy a website as Wikipedia is.

With how good at finding news the staff members of this site are, we would know about a new series mere minutes after a credible source would announce it. However, IMDB, like Wikipedia, is not a credible source.

I agree here, Saber'. You have to take everything online with a big, kosher sized, grain of salt. There is a huge amount of garbage online. Unless the info comes from a creditable source, or, cites a source that is credible, most things online that give info/news, are just making things up, or, are based on, baseless rumor.

To prove my point, if you have a Netflix account, look more in to this issue on a documentary, titled: "Patriocracy". It will open your eyes to a lot that people give to much weight and credit to, that, should be treated as anything but'.

The Wikipedia article I mentioned before got delete awhile back - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_Prime:_Powerful_Alliances

Wow, well apologies. Just saw it discussed elsewhere and wondered if anyone had heard anything about it....

Oh, Sabrblade, you're making me blush!

But yeah, as Sabrblade mentioned, we stay away from using IMBD as a source. I trust them as much as I trust The Onion.

No worries Ebony', myself, I'm not saying this to punish, or dismiss, but to educate. You need not take it as a fault of your own, you just asked a question after all. Saber', answered, I followed up. You did nothing wrong.

Online issues such as "news", aren't the only problem with the World Wide Web, many people, too many people, fall victim to just regular app, downloads, even from companies that we would expect to trust. Yet, we shouldn't. There is enough bad things online, to just destroy your computer, as well as, steal your identity.

Everything is cool.
