All Hail Megatron Issues 1 to 6 (Vol 1)

[Hereticpoo]

*sigh*

I liked the IRONMAN movie. That doesn't make me a fan.

Fan or Fanatic: a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics.

Casual: Irregular, Indifferent, occasional, unconcerned.....(And many more similar definitions)

I am a Casual Fan: I have an indifferent, unconcerned zeal for TF's.
I like Transformers enough to want interact with other fans, however I'm unconcerned with knowing all there is too know about TF's.

Your post implies that we should all be hardcore fans and that by being members and interacting with each other we are obliged to know all there is to know about transformers.

If you're going to quote me then do it properly.

I rectified my grammar and said;

"My bad I should have said adult fans. Its what I meant." (This is me conceding to your point.)

I'm trying to keep the argument in perspective.

So, if you had been reading the thread properly

Then my statement would have been read as

"the majority of adult TF fans are casual fans and the only continuity that really stands out to them is the G1 Cartoon"

which is the statement I was disagreeing with in the first place

You already said you disagree a few posts ago. Have you got your horse's whip out again?


I didn't remeber who Trailbraker was before I joined OTCA, I didn't know that G1 lived on in Japan with Headmasters and Victory something something.

So my point is that I am a casual fan, so that means that your statement about nobody being a casual fan is wrong. *removed comment, apologies to SkyShadow*

STL, you are so far from being a 'casual fan' that if a casual fan was lightning and you saw him or her in the distance, it would take you a week to hear the thunder. Nobody on this board is a casual fan. Casual fans are those millions of people who saw the movie and thought it was great and count themselves as a fan, but that's it. Casual fans are those people who go around wearing Autobot t-shirts but don't necessarily know who Trailbreaker or Skids are. I don't like to be gender biased, but I know a lot of girls in particular who loved the movie and have never seen anything else to do with Transformers. All the kids with their eyes glued to Animated on Toasted TV in the mornings are fans. I'm a high school teacher - I have talked to heaps of my students about Transformers and countless numbers of them loved watching Beast Wars and the film, but that's all Transformers is to them.

Some of these casual fans have now branched out into the other media - buying toys, comics, DVDs whatever. But they're not suddenly going to fit into the "news flash" that "[the majority of TF fans are casual fans] and the only continuity that really stands out to them is the G1 Cartoon", which is the statement I was disagreeing with in the first place.
