The Energon Pub

it doesnt bother me in the slightest, although i did get weird looks when i put 11$ on my OP gift card and went to the endcap and proceeded to buy the Target 4 pack exclusive thingy with my op gift card all in my TF t-shirt But there's really not anything to be embarrassed about, im sure there are more embarrassing hobbies/habits

I used to feel maybe the occasional pang of guilt-but that has long since gone, its not like i can hide the fact that i am a fan boy i got tf tattoos, pretty much signs me up for life

I'm 22 and when I took my Prime Voice Changer helmut up to the counter to buy it last week the check out girl gave me abit of a smirk.

But I don't care, I spent the following afternoon wearing it, drinking vodka(With a straw!) and playing Halo with friends, so it was totally worth it.

i'm only 15 and every time i go to buy a transformer some one notices me and will just laugh but now i have no problem, i tell people i'm buying them and like to show people them. i no longer care because transformers is what i love and i'm sure all you people do to

Yea I got that when I baught all of the Movie figures. We're talking $280+, the guy was all saying it really loud and looking at other customers. I didnt mind much, I had my fiance at my side and I shrugged it off.

Having a gril (the hotter the better) with ya does help in a big way!

I never get stared at. (Cuz i'm not an adult! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... this could go on forever)
Although I did see an adult guy and an adult gal walking past the Tf section of Toys'R'Us and they walked up to cyber stomping Optimus Prime.
So maybe you're never too old to buy TFs!

Or maybe they had a kid?

It all makes sense now!

Do they make them for a queen sized matress? No.
More importantly would my girlfriend sleep on them...?


She said no.

Haha, same here. I saw some TF cushions, it wasn't happening, lol. She said Softimus Prime and Slumble bee were more than enough.

1. Thank the maker that I'm single and can decorate as I please. Can't wait for the Symbol pillows.

2. Damn them thinking only kids want Transfomers bed sheets. Where are my queen sized sheets?

I am not at all embarrased since Iam only 24 years old

I had a mister man sheet on my bed for ages. The trick bring the girl in with the lights off, and then sit back and laugh ur ass off when she wakes up in a room full of kids things the next morning

Well not when I am buying Unleashed or a Model of Transformers but yes I get that feeling of embarrassment but not because I am too old, no, because my friends don't know!

My granny always said, if u have to hide something u probably shouldnt be doing it.

Having said that she thinks i am a nice boy and doesn't know that me and my lady are pierced tattooed freaks, we get all cleaned up to see her. so i guess i am kinda a hypocrite?

Ah true, but I think I'd trade in some TF sheets for in house p***y any day.

That's because you're whipped Bonger. But that's ok. Some fool has to take them in and give them a place to live. Better you then me.

Unfortunately the single father thing... doesn't work on women quite the way TV and movies would have you believe. Sometimes I think he is more of a woman repellant. Ah well no big loss. More money to spend on my other passions.

Really? Thats weird, i have always found the opposite. Although my little lad lives with his mom, so i can bring him out, show off how amazingly sensitive and fun I am

-and then hand him back.

That sounds kinda heartless, just wanna add i dont use my kid as bait. Dont have ta!

Ha! I remember the first couple of nights when I had huge hauls of movie toys. I actually perfer the self checkout and I really wish Target and TRU would get them. Cashiers are very, very rarely careful with stuff and the vast majority of my collection is MISB/MOSC. It really angers me when a package goes from C9 to C8 because of the stupid cashier.

I could care less what other people think. For all they know i could be picking out a gift for someones birthday or something like that. I dont give a rats ass what judgmental people think. I love my hobby and if they think its weird that a 24 year old is buying transformers toys then they can shove it!

That must have been quite a sight man!

I never get embarrased buying TFs ever!... Except if anyone I know sees me

That may be my problem. I don't have that luxury. Wouldn't want it anyway though, I like having the kid around 24/7.

The funny thing is that one time at toys r us, I bought a TF figure and when i payed for it at the counter, A hot girl working there who rang me out said that she like transformers because her brother got her into them. We shot the **** for a few min. And when i left i was like. Damn thats got to be the hottest TF female fan i have ever seen. I still talk to her till this day when i go in there. So not everyone thinks its strangr for adults to buy TF. Age dosent matter anyway. I seen people in suits buying transformers and they are in a group of people talking about which TF line to buy. I over heard there convosation so that goes to show you that anyone who likes them buys them.
