This is so silly...
So it is ok for the comic/cartoon/movie writers to kill off Transformers characters in their stories, but not ok for someone to kill a Pinkimus toy (without even knowing it is a Transformer)???
Move on people...

Also if only Michael Bay does the transformer movies we should be grateful as well no one else stepped up to do them. I for one loved it the battle scenes were awesome and it dove more into the story line of the Fallen for this genre of the transfandom.

I saw this and was a bit disappointed, but then I kind of feel the same way about people who cannibalise figures to make a custom. The show destroyed a Transformer for entertainment, but so do many collectors for customs, kitbashes and so on.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy seeing the work of customisers, and appreciate the creativity that went into them, but I still feel that there is something sad about destroying a figure, for whatever the reason.
Here is what i think we should do:
1. wreck tony martin
or
2. Wreck more transformers?
either will be fun in the end
or
maybe we start a jihad on all enemies of transformers??
could be fun
lets start with Michael bay?
Will you guys stop using the term "raping my childhood" rape is a serious matter.
I have to agree. Let's all keep things in perspective here.Quote:

Close but no cigar - It begun with the Star Wars special editions in 1997 which sparked the 'Han shot first!' outrage among others but let's not derail the thread any more.Quote:

It wasn't mine, nor was it anyone elses here. It belonged to whatever station played the show, and they can put it at whatever risk and do whatever they want with it.
That is a part of our very own toys too, we can do whatever we want with them.
If only people knew about the tons of movie toys being broken by kids because they're too hard to transform.....
"Worst thread ever!"
not nearly close :)Quote:

The point is not him stepping on the toy but the afterglow he's basking in of hanging crap on Transfans.
I think Tony summed it up very nicely in that article you posted...Quote:

Then I realised that, like me, Generation X hasn’t bothered to keep up with developments down at Toys ‘R’ Us. Their idea of Transformers is forever stalled back in the early nineties.
Why two threads needed to be devoted to complaints about the destruction of Pinkimus, when there is another thread devoted to saying how crap the toy is? I'll never know! :rolleyes: :cool:
I wanted to get Pinkimus (before we knew he was pink) and was willing to look past short smoke staks and long missiles but Hasbro really pushed the envelope and made it even crappier than anyone could have imagined and it was far more than what I was willing to forgive...
