Welcome to the General Discussion area where just about anything goes! This area is designed to discuss all matters and does not necessarily have to be Transformers related. Please keep topics relevant.

Get his face off of the top banner!! At the least, the website itself should promote non-partisanship! Besides I'm proud to be a registered independent.

On the topic of our new Commander and Chief (but slightly more light-hearted), I’ve read several articles on Obama’s new ride, dubbed “the Beast”. It’s an all-new Cadillac-based vehicle with some serious armor. It would be pretty interesting if they ever thought about doing a special “Presidential Edition” Transformer out of it.

Or even more compelling, introduced it into the third Transformers film, especially if Jon Voight’s character does indeed return as the Pres. How cool would that be if this thing turned out to be Brawn, in disguise in order to secretly protect the President?

Apparently, the Beast rides around on modified GMC Topkick truck rims so the Transformers link is already there. Now Bay and Co. just needs to run with the idea.

Hm...if Hasbro was smart, they'd mix the two together.

Hell we got Star Wars/Marvel Transformers

how about Presidential Transformers?

Featuring Barackobot, who changes from US President into a bitchin' T-bird.

Just when I thought wrestling couldn't get any worse.

"New from Hasbro! WWE Transformers! Collect Kane who can turn into a garbage can, now with cyber-key powered raping action! Combine with Lita for double the fun!"

But the presidential transformers would rock.

Heroic FreedomBots vs the Evil Terrorcons

Nixon could turn into a tape-recorder
Teddy Roosevelt could turn into a bear.
William Taft a Donkey
Licoln could turn into a train

so many awesome possibilities.

OS, Dinobot is not a traitor, but one of the best examples of bi-partisanship.

He had the vision to cross party lines showing his ability to see beyond factions and the issues.

I expect to see the Captain America redecoed as Triple H, shortly.

Er...

Wasn't the first thing he did to attempt overthrowing/killing Optimus in order to take his army and lead it against his former faction?

Instead he'll turn into a bitchin Raptor

Everyone knows that yesterday was historic, stop letting your political viewpoint cloud your judgment.

You should appreciate the ability to change and grow (Im talking historical, not sloganized campaign mumbo-jumbo) that America has shown regardless of politic viewpoint.

Also Dinobama is amazing.

He had thought Megatron had taken them to the wrong planet, and rather than have faith in his party's leader (Who had, in fact, led them in the right direction), instead tried to usurp Megatron's power.

Failing that, Dinobot instead tried to take over the Maximals by killing Primal (I assume under the assumption that the other Maximals would willingly follow him, instead of just shooting him for killing their leader), which he would use to, in turn, make another attempt on Megatron's life.

Failing that, Dinobot instead took a position in the Maximals, faced with constant (And deserved, considering the above paragraphs) mistrust, at one point considering suicide because he realize how badly he screwed up. Then he was killed by his former teammates.

So if bipartisanship means trying to violently take over one party because you failed to violently take over another one because of perceived failure of the leader, then yeah, I guess he is.

Clearly from the reaction to my post about Dinobot, I should have made sure that I used [sarcasm]text[/sarcasm] so people would have understood better.

My bad.

Sarcasm doesn't quite work unless it's spoken, or unless it's VERY clear that it's supposed to be sarcasm .(Such as claiming to support something, and pointing out all of it's flaws as a good thing, or, of course, the sarcasm tags) Otherwise, people are going to take it seriously. (I've heard people call Stephen Colbert a Republican)

Again, my bad.

I honestly posted that with the belief that anyone who clearly remembers Dinobot's actions would dismiss that claim as complete BS.

What I do have a problem with is that we elected a inexperienced junior senator whose only experience is as a community organizer to the most powerful position on earth. Anyone who doesn't believe that he was elected solely on his ethnicity is simply naive. And on top of all of this, if he is so concerned about stimulating the economy, how about foregoing the 175 million dollar inauguration bull and give every American $500,000. This is going to be a long and scary 4 years of Obamunisim (communism). And finally, why does the left wing media simply refuse to refer to, or identify Obama as a HALF black man? So, no we didn't elect the first African-American as president. Not to mention there is no such thing as African-Americans unless you were born in Africa and immigrated here. We are all Americans regardless if we are black, white, pink, purple, orange, or blue. Color should have nothing to do with electing a president although it clearly did.

Just don't blame me in the future, I voted for McCain/Palin!

Now this is my opinion and I am entitled to it. Just as though everyone else on this board is entitled to their own. Once everyone posts their negative replys, at the end of the day we are all still Autobots and Decepticons!! Long live Seibertron!!

ok dude not to start a fight but I'm from IL and I think Barack was a great senator. And you voted for the republicans which is fine but you want to say Obama has no experience? Look at your own damn party! McCain chose Sara Palin! I would not want the crazy gun toating soccer mom as my president and McCain; yeah he served our country but that's really all has to go on Mavric this and mavric that. While yes some of the reason Obama was elected may have been due to his skin color which is wrong but I think the main reason was because people were sick and tired of the moronic polocies of the republican puppet Bush and the puppetir Chaney. Why not blame Bush? He lied to American claiming there were nukes but even when none were found he still sent our people to get killed over in Iraq and runined what was left of our tattered image to the rest of the world. He also could have done a major overhaul on the way banks were run and the taxpayers wouldn't have to shell out 750 billion to these crooks. Ok rant over :-x
