You know you're obsessed with Transformers when:

[Jinto]

You hear Flawless by George Michael and in your head he's doing a duet with Soundwave.

[Hursticon]

Spout Transformers quotes as if they were everyday-common sayings. :p

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

You make the transformation noise whenever you sit down and stand up.

Spout Transformers quotes as if they were everyday-common sayings. :p

oh no i do that!...

when you greet people in real life with " bah weep graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong"

[griffin]

You know... there are people who will read much of what is in this topic and say, that's just normal behaviour for them. :p

And I'm not saying I'm one of them. ;)

[Trent]

Whenever you get in your car to go anywhere you say to it (as if it can hear you) "Lets roll out!"

[GoktimusPrime]

oh no i do that!...
Who doesn't! :D

From my personal examples of obsession^devotion...
+ Been collecting Transformers continuously since 1984
+ I always wear Transformers apparel
+ Other people tell me that my brain is like a TF encyclopaedia :p
+ I almost always have a Transformer toy on me, whether it be a trip to the supermarket or a trip overseas.
+ I greet strangers with "Bah weep granah weep nini bong" (if they're wearing Transformers apparel of have a TF badge on their car)
+ I once organised a TF convention (and organised several TF booths/stalls at other conventions)
+ I've attended organised TF fan meets in 3 states and once overseas.
+ I'm currently in the process of self-learning Autobot language.
+ I frequently incorporate some Transformers references in my teaching.
+ My daughter has been constantly exposed to Transformers since she was born (literally). She's even developing her own play patterns, like making up her own fan modes! (She's created an "attack mode" for the dump truck My First Transformer); I've recently discovered that I need to carry 2 Transformers with me each time I go out with my family now... my daughter's no longer content to just watch me play with my toys, she wants to join in too (which she often does at home, but now she's insisting on doing so outside too!)
+ It's not a hobby... it's a way of life (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Transformers-The-Religion/129480307081019). ;)

For me it's when my students ask "how long will this test/exam go for?"and I answer "till all are one."

if i see a girl cruising around Mildura with a TF badge i'll talk to you ;)

i've been visiting my mum in my home town this week and by the number of cars i've seen with those badges, i'm surprised the ANZAC memorial hasn't been replaced by a Cybertronian War memorial. Or, in the council office foyer, the Matrix, on a velvet cushion, mounted on a plinth in a glass cabinet.

so, no offense chrome badge people, i'm just jealous

[GoktimusPrime]

I have badges on my car - one's Autobot the other's Decepticon. Just go badge up your car dude. Don't let the fact that some posers might be doing it ruin it for you. We were into Transformers long before it was mainstream; it's not like any of us have decided to quit being Transfans just because TFs has become mainstream now. :) Think of wearing TF apparel or having TF logos on your vehicle as being akin to people who wear apparel and have stickers of their favourite sports team; they may or may not be a "real fan," like people who sport English Premiere League stuff... they're not always fans, but that's not gonna stop the real fans from wearing their logos/imagery. :D

guilty....and they keep asking for your opinion about the movies - what do you think of it/ have you seen it yet/ are you excited? .... I just smile as I haven't seen it yet when they asked me back then:o. Frankly, except for the first Bay movie I wasn't too keen on seeing them in the theaters, was perfectly content to view them when the DVDs come out. As luck would have it though I won free tickets to view the DOTM at IMAX while on holidays overseas, so I wouldn't wanna waste that:D

Guilty. :) My wife was getting sick of me constantly obsessing over toy hunting whenever we went travelling -- so earlier this year when I went to Japan, she gave me ONE day which I could dedicate to Transformers, but not for the rest of the trip. So that was the day of the January Osaka Meet where I got to catch up with some fans from Kansai (and 2 from Nagoya) and spend most of the day TF hunting and just sitting around talking about Transformers! :D But the rest of the trip was mostly spent doing other stuff like travelling and catching up with Mundaner (non-TF folk) friends. :)


or better yet you OWN a transformers forum :D:D:D
I used to run a TF forum (this was before griffin had established one for OzFormers). But it wasn't as nice as this one -- it was one of those "free forums" where you get ads, and the URL is just the domain name plus some random code; and of course, there's no nice looking TF themed wallpaper, buttons etc. :)

You should! Mines a silvery blue Ford Focus with a chrome autobot badge and my best friend drives a black Mazda 6 with an autobot on the back window. It's cute when we park side by side somewhere. I also have Optimus hanging from my mirror.

At least you had a forum - I was printing off monthly newsletters on my Commodore 64's dot matrix printer ;) Because there were no programs back then to insert images etc, I would have to photocopy pics and stick them on a blank piece of A4 paper with the writing and then photocopy it all together just to produce a single page. That was painful :(

Hahaha, I used to do that for this anime and gaming fanzine my friends and I used to make when we were at school! (and we went to different schools too!) -- it was actually called "Animania"... looooong before the anime convention came along and stole that name that we weren't using anymore and had never trademarked!! :p

Here's what the Autobot set looks like:

And here's the Decepticon set:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/goktimusprime/Transformers/car2.jpg
The pic on the left is the car just after I bought it but before I "pimped it out" w/ the Decepticon badge (right next to where it says Conquest :D) and family stickers. ;) I've since put a small Decepticon badge and large Decepticon sticker on the front of the car. The Autobot car has Autobot logos along both sides, the fuel door and bonnet -- as well as a Robot Heroes movie Optimus Prime behind the steering wheel (and Autobot/Decepticon dog tags dangling from the rear vision mirror - it also has a "Protoform on Board" sign on the back ;)). The Decepticon car has Robot Heroes movie Blackout behind the steering wheel. I wanna get something so I can take the Decepticon dog tag from the other car and dangle that from the Decepticon car's rear vision mirror. Later I intend to get a set of Autobot and Decepticon seat covers for both cars... next time there's a lull in TF toys. ;)


i do that.. sometimes (if i actually get something) i have to pretend i'm buying it for a non-existent child..

I don't. I'm proud to shop for toys for myself. Sometimes even when I'm buying Transformers and my daughter's with me, people might ask if it's for her, and I'll say, "No, it's for me." :) Heck... sometimes when my wife's off shopping for clothes, shoes etc., I go hang out at the TF section and just... hang out there. Play with whatever Transformer toy I've brought along. My daughter will often tag along and play with all the Try Me features, or try to tell me which one she thinks is Optimus Prime, Megatron or Bumblebee -- or ask me the names of characters she doesn't know. So it becomes a nice edumacational exercise for her. ;)

You truly believe that your second cousin's auntie's great-grandmother's third cousin's step-sister is related to Optimus Prime. Therefore, albeit in a small way, so are you.

You wake up every morning with the fear of Unicron approaching and try to warn everyone before you realise that you were only having a nightmare.

You won't eat it unless it resembles the Decepticon (or Autobot) symbol.

You tried applying for a job at the Autobot base. Something basic to start with, in the hopes that you can slowly but surely climb your way up the ladder.

The name Erector just makes perfect sense to you.

You speak fluent Cybertronian in your sleep.

You speak fluent Cybertronian whilst you're awake. And can distinguish between the ancient and modern tongues.

You attempt transforming every now and again when you forget you're still only human.

You call Cybertron home, and plan to return to it one day.

You know you're obsessed with Transformers when you see a vehicle that looks so much like a TF from a cartoon you subtly walk up and say their name out loud to see if you get a response.


I did this to a blue dune buggy that looked scarily like Beachcomber when I was 10 - my obsession started early :D

[requiemau88]

You know you're obsessed with Transformers when you talk about Transformers so much at work that your co-workers have stopped making nerd jokes and come to appreciate your collection and knowledge of the TF Multiverse.

P.S. the amount of time I have guys come up to me and say "My kids having trouble with this transformer ... what do I do?" Priceless

[fatbot]

You know you're obsessed with Transformers when you have 4 transformers tattoos on your body

I've been there:o

For some reason I read that as...

"You know you're obsessed with Transformers when you have transformers 4 tattoos on your body"

I would agree with that statement :D

that is... until you realize that it's heading straight for you ,coz the driver fell asleep on the wheel :eek::eek::eek::eek:

[RageOnTheRoads]

You know you are obsessed with transformers when it takes a friend to point out to you that 3/4 of your wardrobe is transformers themed. And after that painful moment of realisation, you decide not to tell her that the last 1/4 is colour co-ordinated to match the paint schemes of your favourite tfs. :(

Just a few minutes ago a friend called me and said that he's currently in a sushi restaurant and he saw someone from a distance who looks like me, so he called me to ask where I am right now, somewhat disappointed to learn that I'm just at home. He's insisting that this person he's looking at is a dead ringer for me, but I said:
"Is he wearing Transformers apparel?"
"No."
"Can you see a Transformer toy on his table?"
"No."
"Then you know that's not me."
<laughs> "Yeah, if he were wearing Transformers clothes and there was a toy on the table, I would've walked up to say hello instead of calling you first to check."
:D

Earlier this morning at my daughter's Saturday school, one parent asked me,
"Do you bring a Transformer toy with you every Saturday?"
"Every day."
Also, another parent brought his old childhood original G1 Optimus Prime toy along to show me. ;)

[UltimateGalvatron]

When your dad starts saying "Have you got your dummy?" when you bring a Legion/Legends TF when you go out an about.

And when someone in your class says this while walking out of class "Oh yeah I like Transformers" when I mention my addiction love of TFs and I yell at him "HAVE YOU SEEN THE ORIGINAL 80s CARTOON AND MOVIE?! BEAST WARS, BEAST MACHINES, BEAST WARS NEO AND BEAST WARS II?! HAVE YOU SEEN SUPER-GOD MASTERFORCE, THE HEADMASTERS, VICTORY AND ZONE! RID (THE NEW ONE AND THE OLD ONE)!? ANIMATED? PRIME? THE UNICRON TRILOGY? READ THE COMICS? COLLECTED AN GENERATIONS? WELL?" Half way through this rant I got pushed into a classroom where I nearly got detention from a teacher.

Also when your friends think its totally normal your on a Transformers forum.

[CBratron]

With all the bits? I'd be hesitant to do that lest the replacement fists also go walkabout.

[Handsprime]

You know you're obsessed when people call you "Transformer Guy". Sure my Producer name might be the same name as my username, but I have been known to bring Transformers to clubs (though to be honest it was only twice, and it was when I had purchased Transformers beforehand)

[AJ_Prime]

When you give a thumbs up, a nod and an acknowledging smile to the person in the car next to you who has a transformers sticker on their window.

I think you might be a bit too obsessed.

How many people have transformer related wallpapers on their phones? :p

When you get a half sleeve tattoo of Optimus Prime on your right arm.

Megatron will be on the left soon enough. :p

[Megatran]

Megatron will be on the left soon enough. :p
:) What pic are you thinking of using? :)

[UltimateGalvatron]

I have FoC Optimus Prime cradling a damaged FoC Bumblebee in his arms for my phone background

[ampoldj]

You have a transformer in your car, i have a bumblebee Camaro on my dashboard...it is also the first one i transferred to my new car when i traded my old one :)

[MayzaPrime]

:) What pic are you thinking of using? :)

I have a few ideas... I was even thinking of putting it to a vote on here :p

I still have a few more sessions to go for the Optimus tattoo, so I still have a while to decided. :p

[5FDP]

You line up in the cold for a midnight toy sale knowing that you have to get up for work 3 hours later :p Totally worth it though :cool:

[Raider]

When you are watching a tv show with your wife/partner and you see a G1 transformer show up in the background, you pause the show and enthusiastically point out which one it is, that you have it, and what its role/function was whilst she rolls her eyes and hits play again :p

That hasn't happened to me but most likely only because I haven't noticed a transformer in the background of a show we've been watching yet. ;)

We've been watching The Goldbergs lately so its happening all the time!

It can be frustrating at times dealing with absentminded store staff. Having said that, I don't condone 'interrogating' or 'harassing' staff. It doesn't bode well & reflects negatively on our community. :)

[ampoldj]

^i know the manager, 2 staffs are my friend in our local Big W, it just downstairs and yet wify never gave the go signal....yup approval is the hardest part so i will try again for Takara :(

[Jaxius._]

When you read more articles on tfwiki than books
When you killed your social life for TF's (take that bullies :p)

[Alpha Supreme]

Just like coffee, it's not an obsession/addiction, it's a lifestyle choice :p

For me it's when my students ask "how long will this test/exam go for?"and I answer "till all are one."

LOL love this.

"till all are one."

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

LOL love this.

"till all are one."

Yes, even better if its a maths test/exam and that's some obscure hint at the key to getting ALL the answers super easy!

[GoktimusPrime]

I wear a school jersey at school which has Uchuu wa hitotsuni written on the back, which is Japanese for "Till All Are One." ;)

Just saw a KIA TV ad with their power to surprise (http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140830034049/logopedia/images/0/0d/Kia_Power_to_Surprise.png) slogan. But the first image that popped in my mind was G1 Pretenders (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-1daWCZTEY). It took me a second to realise that they weren't talking about Transformers. :(

[BigTransformerTrev]

You know you're obsessed with Transformers when:

You have a dream the neighbours are complaining to the local council about the smell from your farms animal pens...

... And your neighbours are Quintessons

[Lint]

... And your neighbours are Quintessons

I completely lost it with this punchline :p

[GoktimusPrime]

I had a dream last night that I walked into a servo and found UW Devastator and Defensor loose complete. The UW Constructicons were $25 each and the Protectobots were similarly cheap. I was struggling over which set to get, but decided on getting the Protectobots. I put them in a basket and lined up to pay for them, but was thwarted by my alarm clock. :p

[UltimateGalvatron]

I had a similar dream once but it was Aldi and they had loose cheap Cybertron and Classics :confused:

[Handsprime]

I have dreams where I find cheap Transformers. Then again I have dreams where I find cheap video games, cheap CD's and even albums that are only available only in CD format.
Heck the weirdest dreams I have is when I have a Transformer, and for some odd reason it starts off as one Transformer, but later it shifts into another Transformer without me knowing.

Curious - how do you know this? When dreaming, the part of the brain that is used to discern letters and numbers is shut down and they usually appear as unreadable symbols.

[GoktimusPrime]

In my dream, I could see price tags showing that the Constructicons were $25 each. I don't remember what the price tag for UW Guardian, but it worked out to be below RRP for each Protectobot, except for Legends Groove who was the same price. Yeah, in my dream UW Guardian came with two Grooves -- the Deluxe and Legends! :rolleyes: :p

you know that you are a transformers fan when: you are going to buy some paint, and you see a powder blue and think 'oh god, allspark blue'
