Basically any representation of Transformer characters (aside from humans) that don't transform.

I mean it does defeat the purpose of Transformers as a whole ....


I totally agree with you, a transformer is supposed to transform hence the name. Just my added 2 cents to Burn's two which makes it 4 cents now :)

-Non-transforming Transformers (for the record, Action Masters DO have transforming accessories) : Cyber Stompers, Unleashed, Robot Heroes, 3Ti, etc.)

-Female Transformers (just doesn't make any sense although I do understand why they do it)

That's about it.

1A Making the TF movie Starscream toy beige, rather than gray like F-22's actually are, and the head looking so freaky/ugly, and not even like was in the movie.

1B Making a version of the toy that is the G1 colors, and has a head that looks like Starscream's head always has, (or at least to the extent that Optimus prime's did in the movie.) BUT ONLY HAVING IT SOLD AT TARGET! I HATE TARGET!

2 Store exclusives in general are a load of crap.

3 The cyber planet key thing. i do not have any cybertron toys, but i agree with those that say it was dumb. Though i do like Mini-cons, even if only for what they are by themselves.

4 Star wars transformers. It is just another cash cow idea, and is totally ridiculus IMO.

5 Hasbro only making some of the lines of toys for two or three years, particularly armada and energon.

You just named off most of the transformers history, do you even like transformers?

This entire thread just makes me mad, if you think transformers are stupid then why do you go to a transformers forum?

Hell, I had just erased those from my memory! Thanks a lot! :-x :P

I dislike the execution of perfectly good-sounding ideas.
An entire line of combiners versus triple changers? Sounds sweet right? Too bad that was the main idea behind Transformers: Energon.

Same goes with Star Wars Transformers. I was all ready for Optimus Prime as an X-Wing or something but instead we got whatever it is you want to call it, I call it silly.

You really got a problem, don't you? I think I need to refresh your memory :

BOARD RULES

1. No flaming, trolling, harassing, or baiting other guests.
Flaming should be self evident, trolling means to make posts or threads for the intended purpose of starting an argument, while baiting is any post intended to make another user resort to flaming. Harassment means following a user or group of users around through multiple threads to flame them, bait them, or otherwise cause them to want to avoid the boards because of a user's actions towards them. If there is a discussion and there ends up some sort of disagreement on someones personal opinion, simply try and respect each others opinions without forcing them on others.


Somehow Counterpunch, this is pretty much what you're doing DAILY. So now, what are you gonna do about it?
