    So what your saying is Aaron Archers opinion belongs to whoever is paying him at the time.

    I was going to let it slide, as I don't really care about pretenders.
    It bothers me when they solicit me directly on Twitter.

    I don't have a direct issue with independent transformers manufacturers, there is some quality stuff out there, I also don't think a lot of them are worth paying money for either.
    I have issue with people who say one thing then do another and shove it down my throat.

    In PWTT's defence, it looks like grimlockprime10 on twitter is just some twat who seems to spam twitter with various advertisements of his customs. Is he associated with PWTT?

    Personally I like Pretenders, because they are cheesy. These are just pretending to be Pretenders and therefore spark no interest from me. I bet AA was just looking at all the 3P shenanigans wishing that he could play too while he was shackled with Hasbro and had to tow the line. Reagrdless though, the good news is you can block douchebagspammer10 on twitter and ignore PWTT.

    quite possible but they jumped on and favorited right away so I assumed a connection based on that.

    you are probably quite right, so he should have just said nothing.

    and yes and yes

    Kup is right UM, I work for a state owned utility and a big part of my job is to uphold the company's policies. Sometimes I very much disagree with the said policy I am upholding but I do so because that is what I'm paid to do. I'm not getting paid to offer my own opinion. Quite often it makes me out to be the bad guy in the general publics eye but that's my job. So I wouldn't hold it against Aaron Archer at all.

    77% and 11 days to go. As promised, when we hit 300 backers we would debut another character we hope will make it into this Kickstarter (amongst all the others we've shown you...). Instead of revealing one character how about two? Count Tuskula and Lord Tangent Von Tuskuleser will be joined by a 3rd aquatic hero with slightly different armor...

    We will upload more micro-bios tomorrow!
    Up to 78% now, and looks like these guys are callbacks to the Thundercats Tuska Warrior and Battle Beasts Wolfgang Walrus!

    A quick preview of the painted prototype, more pics to hopefully arrive tomorrow. It's just six days to the close of the campaign.

    Not to my knowledge. He's just a fan. Don't hold what he says against a company.

    Some fun bios for 3 of the character went up. Madwing is a psychic pilot. Skull-F is a nice demon, and Terribull is a evil overlord consultant!
