See? Casual trolling/flamebating is a subtle art.

Joking and trolling won't cut it this time.

You cannot concieve the amount of work you will have to put in to regain the respect you just lost.

At least he didn't say 50 shades of gray, the absolute definition of a twilight fan fiction parody, was the definition of a masterpiece of modern literature

No I don't think I have met him, and if I did, I forgot about him. And he doesn't look too happy to see me anyway

Big attitude.

Getting past the nonsense.....

Transformers have never faired well in the book department (comics aside), unfortunately. I've bought and read almost every book I'm aware of, and only one would I consider any good. IT was the collection of short stories called "Legends". Granted, they weren't all winners in there, but man, it had some real gems.

As a voracious reader, I'd love for there to be more Transformer novels. Good ones, at least.

Yes and no, personally. I am enjoying my rediscovered scifi passions, but I'm not entirely sure TFs really work outside of comics, given how much of their characterisation (in some ways, and it may only be to me) relies on visual cues. Cartoons, films, comics, toys - they're all visually *there*. A book, as much as prose can do, would have to do some very different things.

I dip into the fanfic that Transtopia offers every now and then, but I still have the visual frame of reference of everything else Transformers.

How may I assist you, citizen?

My! That is quite the accusation!

To suggest that I, of all bots...

...have anything to do with...

..oh..

..will you look at that.

You may have been correct.

Now, where were we..

Ah. Yes. Witnesses.

Go to eBay. I got mine for $15 or so and I have seen complete ones for cheaper since

I find the writing only just slightly above Exodus and Exiles. And I loathe Exodus and Exiles. Plot is not good, extremely clichéd in parts, they butchered the whole Solus arc and characterisation, and just argh.

No. Not a fan. But it's becoming more and more relevant to TF lore.

Well late as always, but I guess you saved me some monies this time on the covenant. I read Exodus on our last beach trip and it was just bad and poorly written and this is coming from a non book reader.

Those Ani Shockwave pics are awesome ;)^
