So here is the question.... "How weird are you?"
Let's face it some of us (me included) are semi-normal


While some are quite freaky...

Yes, Raksha I mean you

I am curious to see what people actually admit...

I knew i shoulda bought that Optimus Prime helmet...

Transformers fans are like, the most normalized group of any large fan collective out there.

There's the crazies, sure, but there's less of them in this fandom than in others.

I'm inclined to agree... the TF fandom is fairly sane compared to the average scifi fandom.

(However, it is a lot more jerkass than the average scifi fandom... )

Between running an Anime Convention, working at a comic store and attending a few Sci-fi Fantasy cons....

Transformer and GIJoe fans on the average do seem more normalized than others and a bit more grounded in reality.

Oh there are a number of ass-clowns but on the whole that's true for about every fandom regardless of what it is.

Actually that is what Wally Burr said (pictured at top). Most Transformer fans are normal, but some can be a little "over-reactive"

Ha Ha! Over-reactive. I don't know anyone on here like that.

I does seem that we are a more toned-down group about the hobby. You don't often see TF fans grouped in with Star Trek "crazy fans" on tv shows and stuff.

We're not crazy! Isn't that right leader class Megatron? Sure is J-O!

... Don't judge me.

Serioulsy though, some people, like WoW players, are totally weird, & not the casual ones. I mean the ones who sit in a dark basement in front of a screen all day with a bag of pizza combos & a Mt. dew, screaming "Die you F***ing orc! DIE!" at the screen. They're the weirdos!

Maaaybe, but other fandoms don't tend to have 'robosexuals.'

the term "Transfans" is sometimes confused to mean "transexual"
