Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

[GoktimusPrime]

why is it that from time to time, people tend to type text_like_this.

is it an otca thing? reference to something tf related? or am i just out of touch with online lingo such as teh, !!!11one and FML??

Nothing to do with Transformers or OTCA, it's a traditional (old skool) online way of underscoring text which was commonly used back when online boards, chatrooms, email etc. didn't have all the fancy font and board codes that we have now (remember that we're looking at the way online communities operated before the advent of the internet age back when we used to log onto local BBSs via dial up modems like this ).

So back in those days we would do _this_ to underline a word or phrase.
For bold or italics we would use asterisks like *this*. <grin> B^)

Odd...I used to log onto BBSs myself with the good old 33.6's and I don't recall the underlining of text that way. Maybe I just have forgotten or never really took notice...

oh well...either way...thanks for clearing it up!

That was before 33.6's

Alrighty thanks heaps for the info liege. I've taken some close ups of the "brainbot", the sticker sheet and some other random light grey piece. A few identification clues;

- The brainbot does seem to be made of a cheaper plastic, has no stampings
- The sticker sheet belongs to a decepticon , most likely a small figure as the sheet itself isn't very big
- The grey piece looks like an armour shard of some sort, it's not broken and is hollow

Really not sure what they are or who they belong to. Help is appreciated

The 2 black guns on the left side are guns of outer and inner bot for Pretender Jazz. the middle little bot is a Brainbot for Braver/ Lightspeed(motorvator), the red little piece is a clip for Jetfire. The black gun on the right is Nightbeat's gun - I think someone here wants this one. The orange thingie is right shoulder armor for roadbuster. I have no idea whose is the sticker sheet... yet

Hi,ya guys and gals. It's a bit of a longshot, but I was wondering if anyone knew the story behind this? Any ideas as to who or how? I know there is a stamp on the image but I can not, for the life of me read it.

Hi all. Is this legit? I'm not familiar with the box. Is it a UK version? Alternatively...i can't check the classifieds yet...anyone have a decent g1 grimlock for sale?
