lol 2 grown men probably in their 30's calling out to each other and have a battle. probably a great time to laugh about. if they are going to battle each they might as well take some boxing lessons and spar against each other. lol i want to see that. nah screw the boxing lesson they should take martial art lessons and put them in a ring and let them scrap. lol probably one of the greatest MMA fights in the world lol.

So damn sad, but hilariously sad at the same time.
Bet if it ever went ahead, the betting agencies would have Optimus at odds of $1.01 for Prime to $10 for Megatron.

Come to think of it, I don't know what's worse- the people changing their names, or the people encouraging this crap. But yeah, Mr Optimus is pretty cool as a dude, but come on. It's hard to be proud of being a Transfan when you get Star Trek fanboy crap like this happening, and being reported like it's a real news story.

I told him off in another forum and it felt good.

MR Burrows, we HAVE to get pictures taken together, as this has turned into some very funny stuff for the fandom!!!

This is what being TRANSFANS is all about...

I corrected you ELITA 1 in another forum and it felt good.

It is a 'real' news story. It's about real people, doing real things related to Transformers. You don't like it don't read it.

And it's not Star Trek fanboy crap, we are not above any other fandoms even though we would like to think so, it's fandom 'crap'. When people get passionate about their fandoms, things like this happen. Mr. Optimus Prime is a very respectable individual who is doing something that many of us could not do ever. He is allowed to be crazy about his fandom in the way he wants to. He does not need your approval, nor do I need your approval on what is TF news.

Thanks for offering your thoughts.

We are having fun with being Transformers fans. When did you stop???

Make it clear that you mean stopped having fun.

And in that, I stopped having fun, and ended up with full on embarrassment after all of this.

It would be enjoyable if they just beat the hell (and stupid) out of one another.

ROFL!!!!

How did you correct me? You didn't. I checked all the TF forums I was in and you never spoke to me except for this forum. Nice try.

Basically, what some people here are saying is, because this guy is fighting in a war, people who think this is all a bit much shouldn't be able to share their negative opinions. I find that absurd. His position has NOTHING to do with anything. People don't have to be anything special in order to get respect. Personal opinions shouldn't be dismissed just because someone is a certain something.

Oh well, whatever, never mind.

All I can say about the 'calling out' thing is THIS... Who among us didn't see that coming?

I believe that was a sarcastic overreaction, but there have been plenty of legitimate ones.

This should be about fun, and enjoyment, not pissiness, and hate.

It's not pissiness or hate. I shared my opinion on the situation instead of kissing his ass like most people and some just can't swallow that. I have guts. I am sure there are a lot of people here who think the same way but aren't sharing it because there are obviously people who will jump in to defend this guy.

He can do whatever he wants, I am just sharing my opinion and some people don't like it. Meh.

Maybe I should make a poster of myself and go to every TF forum, post it and ask what people think of me. This is what this reminds me of.

That would be one way to introduce yourself. Mr. Prime chose another way to fame that at the time was unique to the fandom, and obviously very important to him. Can you blame a person for enjoying their '15 Minutes Of Fame 2: The Return'?

Whatever floats your boat E1, by all means share...

Haha, maybe in another lifetime.

He can get his 15 minutes of fame but I find it shallow that he thinks people should respect him because he's in the war. What he does everyday is respectful but that has no influence on what a person thinks of him.

Quoted for the truth. I respect the man because he defends my freedom and fights for my country. Despite not supporting the war I support the troops themselves. But come on, it's more then a little ridiculous that he changed his name to Optimus Prime. And downright ludicrious that he challenged some guy to a fight based solely on the fact that he changed his middle name to "Megatron". Let's face facts, the average civilian couldn't last 5 minutes in an anything goes fight against someone with military training. He's in effect riding this Megatron guy's coat tails to get back in the spotlight by putting the poor nerd in a position he can't back out of.

Yo, Elita, hold up, you don't need to rip on the dude. He's a pretty good guy. It's just the whole name change thing weirds me out a bit, and this is kinda silly.

....why do people keep saying this? Me thinking the situation is stupid has NOTHING to do with how this guy is as a person.

Can you mad few stop getting so mad over this? You are being riduculous, its funny - so laugh.

NO ONE is trying to get BACK into the spotlight.

Look who's talking Mr. I AM IN THE MILITARY I AM BETTER THAN YOU AND WILL RIP YOUR THROAT OUT.

Let me guess, this is another day off? Right. You sure are in the military.

We're not mad, we're disgusted.

Before you answer, we all got out **** out so just stick to the topic. I welcome your PM if you need to carry on.

Yeah this has run it's course.
