Top be fair, though, I didn't know Peter Cullen was any of those things. (Well, I knew he was Canadian) Did he also go through the adamantium bonding process?

...if you are waitng for the OPTIMUS cassette transformer to be released (showing my age there).

You might NOT be a True Transformers Fan...if...
you have not bought two of the same figure, so one can stay MISB and have one for display….

So...I'm not a true Transformers fan because I have neither the money nor the inclination to buy a toy TWICE, simply so one can stay in the box and never be played with?

Well... I guess I'm not a true transformers fan due to several of these cases. Haha, I don't like Kiss Players one bit, I've never read (nor do I have the urge to) the complete guide to TFs, and I never buy the same toy twice (not sure if that one really applies, since I avoid purchasing multiples so that other people can have a better chance of experiencing the same satisfaction of a good toy).

You still argue about being a true fan.

Think you are a true fan.

Believe there is such thing as a true fan.

Your still reading this.

Take me seriously about that last one.

Pfffft...laaaaaaame. I'm sorry S4_NE...I'd rather buy two different figures than dump money on two of the same.

Aww...man. You beat me to this one!

You may not be a true transformer fan if you have to Reveal the Shield to find out the figures alliance.

Hahaha, yesss!

Yuor not a real transformers fan if you think cliffjumper is a person who jumps from acliff.if you think bumblebee is abee.and you think that starscream is a screaming star.if you think all of those your right "Smart one"

Well, I dont think there's a distinction between a fan and a true fan, liking transformers is all it take, but just for fun.

When you think of Hound the transformer, you think, he must turn into a dog.

You think Orion Pax refers to the roman empire dominance

you cut your grass and found a car...oh wait...

Well, I didn't start this post to have that debate - I started it BECAUSE of it and like I said, that was done over on the Live Action Films Forum anyway...and quite by accident to say the least...but anyway, continuing on (for the fun of it, of course)...

You might NOT be a True Transformers Fan...if:

you think Arcee is the only "female" Transformer.

you actually think the planet Seibertron is spelled that way. (and before a "true fan" or just a "fan" loses his/her cool - I can take an educated guess that there were probably some copyright issues and perhaps other legal mumbo-jumbo the creators had to adhere to or just go around altogether)

and Hound, to you, is just a type of dog.

In Japan, yes. In Japan, Autobots are Cybertrons, Decepticons are Destrons, Cybertron (The planet) is Seibertron, Optimus Prime is Convoy, and you'll never see me using any of those terms ever. Nothing against, Japan, really, I love that country, but I am going to use the American terms for all time.

Not anymore. Ever since the Movie line, Japan has gradually began moving over to using American names now. Convoy is now "Optimus Prime" (Oputimasu Puraimu), Cybertrons are now "Autobots" (Ōtobotto), Destrons are now "Decepticons" (Diseputikon), and so on and so forth. It's rare nowadays for TakaraTomy to use their old terms again.

My point still stands. A few years ago, I'd be entirely correct. Unfortunately, my time machine isn't finished yet, still working on the "Relative Dimensions In Space" aspect.

Wow Sabrblade - too bad there's not a Transformers Jeopardy show around! And Shadowman - your title (God Of Transformers) holds true! Anywho, to help with your "Relative Dimensions" issue, I have a modified DeLorean DMC-12 sitting in my garage - maybe I can ship you over the flux capacitor ...the transmission is shot (I blew it out trying to go back and help Bay write a better story for RoTF) haha. Plus, I need new tires on the thing...so I was just going to sell it for parts anyway. ; )

Oh, and You might NOT be a True Transformers Fan...if:

You think the train from BTF III was Astrotrain! (Though that would have been pretty funny and yet really, really cool!)

The DeLorean is okay for short trips, but it's got limited range and without hover conversion you need a decent strip of road to get it to work. The TARDIS has no limited range, has a pool and a library (perhaps a pool IN the library, still not sure) and a perception filter so you can park in the a crowded room and no one would notice it.

Yeah, an American dropping Doctor Who references. Sip THAT with your tea, Britain.

Anyway:

You might not be a Transformers fan if you think Optimus Prime is an upgraded version of that phone from LG.

You might not be a true Transformers OR Dr Who fan if you think they've never had a crossover and you base all your DW knowledge on the new series.

Oh come on, what HASN'T Transformers had a crossover with?

Which is why I try to avoid conversation about Doctor Who, though I at least have Wikipedia to fill in the gaps.

Trust me, you do NOT want to go there.

Firefly. I'm calling it now. Transformers didn't have a crossover with Firefly. And if I'm wrong, point it to me now so I can read it and never have to read anything else again.

Technically it was only a crossover with a character that originated in TF's. But hey, close enough.

Ooh, good one. Same thing with...

"Decepticon."

...you hear "problem with my Transformer" and you look up the number of an electrician.

...you buy a Megazord thinking it's Megatron (thanks, Dad!).

...you buy a loose "SHACKwave" from an outlet store and give it to your child and then you and your older son tells your child that it's the real SHOCKwave but it just looks different out of the package (thanks, Mom and Craig).

...you thought that the pictures in the advertisements were the correct way to transform the toys.

...you like Lio Convoy and Backstop.
