Tony Martin: Transfan Enemy

[strop]

Why are people talking about that lame show talking about your generation with the transformer braking, it happened I personally did not care at all really.

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.

this genre of the transfandom.

Which 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.

i think its a pop culture expression that started with the star wars prequels

i think its not meant to be taken literally

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...

All 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.

Although late eighties is probably more correct than early nineties (Action Masters are not G1 for instance )

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!
