We're not. No one has said that about their own childhoods. Here's your strawman back. Enjoy him, scare off some crows.

It's an old charge by critics, but fair enough.
The point is people are over-reacting to this news. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg are being honored for their work on the franchise. They deserve it.

oh yea, why is everyone all salty? I go away from the forums for a day or two and come back to a shower of Morton's.

Those aren't one-liners. Use dictionaries much?
TransformerMom wrote:I am kind of new to this but I am desperately trying to find pictures, (coloring book type) of as many transformer faces as I can for my 5 year olds birthday this coming Sunday. This is a group of 5 year olds and so I am really looking for the old style 1980's images. I have a new "Revenge of the Fallen" coloring book but the images are not what I consider 5 year old friendly. Plus my son loves all the old original cartoons that play on boomerrang and my husband is giving him is old original Optimus Prime (still in the box) for his birthday gift. PLEASE HELP. Are these images still out there? Does anyone have some or can you point me in the write direction. Thank you!!!

Yes, quite often. I'll use one now. One-liners as in jokes, perhaps but probably not. One-liners as in witty remark, I'm sure those that said them think so. One-liners as in riposte, abso-freakin-lutely. Think before posting next time.

Uh-oh, I had no idea you knew how to use a Thesaurus. I better stop trading barbs with you before you intimidate me with big words that my pea-size brain can't handle.

Dictionary, not Thesaurus, remember? And you can kindly cram the sarcasm. You've done nothing but drift into pointless insulting of intelligence for the sake of not liking someone not liking Bay getting into an earned Hall of Fame spot ahead of longer established Transformer contributors. So yes, please stop. I'm done with you. And I will say meaningless jabs like yours are the reason message boards suck.
Out.

Master Renegade wrote:My initial knee-jerk reaction was that this was a horrible decision and that neither of them deserved this. Michael Bay's movies are so horribly bad that I feel he should be executed for war crimes. (Watching one of his movies is torture.) I've also lost all respect for Steven Spielberg since he keeps saying that these films are actually good. How can someone deserve to be in a Hall of Fame when their work is garbage?
After thinking about it, it's simple: They're famous, and this is a Hall of FAME. Looked at that way, I can't argue that their inclusion isn't justified, regardless of the obviously marketing-based timing.

jacksonspade wrote:Fact is because of Bay and Speilberg our beloved franchise was brought out of the convention centers and put on display for the world to see. Their contributions racked up over $1.5 billion worldwide at the box-office. They introduced a new generation to Transformers, like my godson who liked my old G1 DVDs but LOVED everything Bay has done. They made is possible for things like Botcon to get to the levels they're at today.
Don't get me wrong, I love Simon Furman, Frank Welker and everyone else that should be put into the hall of fame but this is probably Bay and Speilbergs last project with Transformers. It's their year. Their are far worse things to have happened to this franchise. I just feel bad for the butt hurt fanboys that cant enjoy this new wave of popularity the Transformers brand is enjoying right now.
Dagon wrote:I agree with Sabrblades' list. It's a "shoulders of giants" thing here, not a Geewuner arguement. Had Dille and Furman and Welker and errbody not done the work that they did, Speilberg/Bay wouldn't have done their TF work. We all know that these guys sort of must get in now with DOTM looming, so ultimately this is an alright choice at a poor time because it needs to align with the launch of the movie. All of the other important people will most likely get inducted eventually, but in all reality, if they don't get these guys in now, the chances of their work being "influential and groundbreaking" will diminish, mainly due to the permanently advancing TF universe.
Now, if Shai LeBouf gets in before the others on Sabrblade's list, then there'll be some shouting.

Beast War HAS its first inductee: Dinobot got in last year(the first year of the HoF) over the more worthy(IMO, but I never liked Beast Wars) Soundwave.
