Tony Martin: Transfan Enemy

[TheDirtyDigger]

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!

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...
