Hi
My name's Hotaru, I'm 24 and from Adelaide,

Welcome! I'm into comics and drawing too but I don't have the time any more to draw unfortunately. :( And don't worry, I think everyone found it hard to get into Armada. :)

IMHO the Armada comics were pretty good. I liked how they showed Cybertron as a caste-divided society. I personally found the Worlds Collide Saga to be a tad disappointing, but it wasn't bad. Armada is a lot better if you can watch it undubbed (i.e.: Micron Legend). I've seen both Armada and Micron (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gRknOEylgI) Legend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI15syyTNyY&feature=related) and the dubbing in Armada absolutely trashes Micron Legend. Just when I thought the dubbing in RiD was bad... after Armada I just gave up on the dubs so I've never seen Energon or Cybertron (only Super Link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dtf4-sB9vk) and Galaxy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIAH0gOt6hk) Force (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jo-yhWBg7c&feature=related) - the latter being my favourite amongst the three post-CR series; I've heard that the dubbing in Energon and Cybertron is even worse than Armada). The Energon comics were alright - I didn't find them as enjoyable as Armada. Of course, Energon was never completed because Dreamwave Productions went belly up - just as they were getting good at making TF comics too (their early TF comics were mediocre at best IMO... don't even start me about Pat Lee...).

Try to ease up on the obsession with fan-girls and their photos guys. It would be a bit off-putting to newbies who must think we are just a bunch o geeky fanboys who have never met a girl before. Rarity or not in Transformers fandom, I don't want newbies feeling pressured or uncomfortable about posting here.
It's probably why most of them are never heard from again after introducing themselves and having some of you guys over-obsessing about them being female and wanting them to post a photo for the 'trophy wall'.
Welcome them as a fan because of their similar interests, and try not to focus too much on what is different.

GoktimusPrime
12th July 2008, 12:56 PM
It was never intended to be a "trophy wall" but rather just something I made to remind people that female fans do exist and that it's not that unusual/uncommon a thing - i.e.: that it's not that big a deal. (-_-) Anyway, I've amended my last post to try to make my intention clearer. The OzFormers member photo thread exists for all members. :)

Nah you guys just need proof the female transformer fans DO exist.

So when someone goes "girls do not like transformers", you can wip out the photos and say "take this" or some much better and witty comment ;)

Actually i'm still surprised to this day that some guys actually think they DON'T exist and need a constant reality check.

To me it was always logical that there'd be SOME females out there who'd be fans. Logical in that you'd be hard pressed to find something that was exclusive to one gender only.

Personally, it's not that I think they don't exist, obviously Transformers appeals to both males and females, but I think it appeals to personality traits more commonly found in males. So when a female fan presents herself, it more often than not, comes across as a surprise to the male fans. This prompts some of the more gullible male fans to seek confirmation.
