Tony Martin: Transfan Enemy

[TheDirtyDigger]

What a stupid #@W$ing thread this is.

I thought it'd be a good opportunity to link to Tony's scrivener's fancy site as I was a massive Get This fan and love his work.

I also saw an opportunity to upset some nerds in the process.

I liked the Transformer movies! (T_T)

Maybe we should turn this into a Gok bashing thread then? We can throw Pinkimuses at him

You dare challenge my dignity?!

...aw snap.

Hmm..
from the youtube clip, someone calls out "ride it! ride it!" so Tony Martin obliges under peer pressure.
So it doesnt even sound like it was his original intention to ride the thing let alone break it.

i say move on people...

Not even Michael Bay could blow this incident so far out of proportion

Pity the silly bugger who didn't know that it was Optimus Prime..

I yelled death treats at the TV, my bad

"My boyfriend sat there, open mouthed, then said 'they have NO appreciation for how much that thing is worth'. And they say our generation (X / Y) are clueless."

Seriously, these people are clueless. Anyone who claims to be knowledgeable on the issue and yet thinks that any G1 Optimus Prime is so valuable that damaging one is worth blowing this non-issue up to this proportion are the stupid ones, not the people who are just too ignorant to know what it was. My only thought on this is that it's so obviously a 2009 Pinkimus that I know if I was on that programme I might have been hesitant to put it in the eighties just in case it was a trick question and they said that the toy was actually released in the noughties.

I do agree with you there, I just don't like seeing transformers being broken, even if it's Wheelie
