The offhand comments involving rape are getting a bit icky, peeps. I know it's only intended as a humorous metaphor, but it's a big deal to some people, and it costs us little to respect that. I'm not going to edit the posts, but I will ask you to lay off from this point.

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...Originally Posted by TheDirtyDigger
Although late eighties is probably more correct than early nineties (Action Masters are not G1 for instanceAll this over a seventy-dollar toy abundantly available at any shopping centre? If these people were such big fans, wouldn’t they have known the going rate for an Optimus Prime? 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!

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...
