But we are not discussing politics, just mentioning our interest in their history.
Autocon - Given I lean to the left (in fact so far so that I've fallen to the ground) I'd have to be red (or are talking about Frenzy and Rumble or Democrats and Republicans?)
Catcon is my cat's alternate name - since she now has me as a solo owner since her co-owner left for Chicago, I've discovered she is a transformer and a Decepticon - beneath the cute cuddly surface lies a cold calculating mind capable of great deceit to gain additional food or extra time outside. And she transforms from a cat to a furry headless lump with foot warming properties.
My dog, Bruce the Boxer is an autobot - lovable, dumb and loyal (my G1 sympathies were always with the Decepticons - BW I suppose I rooted for the Maximals mainly because the PRedacons were for the most cardboard cutout characters in the show).
LiegePrime - Same for me - I am collecting the TPBs - George Perez's Wonder Woman (or at least when I discovered it in the late 90s) made me realise how awful (in my opinion of course) the Byrne run was - I went back and started collecting as many of his backissues as I could find and found myself enthralled (enough so to give other DC comics a try - it was Wonder Woman [born of myth and clay ] as a concept and my encounters with Byrne's FF that got me to try out Wonder Woman in the first place).
And hello to those additional "welcomerers".
Megatron, Dinobot, Blackarachnia and Tarantulas would beg to differ. ;) And everyone knows that the true star of the show was Waspinator! :)Quote:

But Byrne's runs just, well, it's like so predictable - plus the new Gods dont do it for me, it may work with Superman but it feels forced/rushed concept as a plotline. See you at the fair dsaint!:DQuote:

He was a cross betweem Dr Claw and the bad guy from the Toxic Avengers cartoon, both of whom I consider lazy cliche villains.
LiegePrime - I didn't get why he always wanted to involve the New Gods, hated the way the Greek Pantheon became reduced to mere super-super beings who got their powers from a freaky cosmic wave and disliked the retcons he made to the Amazons (i.e. Hypolyta no longer being born of the spirit of the cavewoman killed in issue #1 - George Perez clearly intended her to be pregnant). Anyway I guess I should leave the Wonder Woman discussion for another time, another place. With luck I'll see you on Sunday.
