There is more to Transformers than movies, cartoons, comics and toys. Discuss anything else Transformers here.

Star Trek and Star Wars are nerdy...

TransFormers are more of a obsesive compulsive thing.

not like I've ever done that :shock:...

I think the nerdiest thing about Transformers is fighting with a six year old which TF character is better...


i hear that!
i once spent an hour arguing with a 5 year old about Optimus Prime's, the Hulk's & Superman's superiority to his favorite Red Ranger.
AS IF! :P

Motto: "If you feel my lightning, you will never hear the thunder."
A few days ago, I got after one of my students about safety goggles during a lab assignment. This is where I am very serious. I asked them, "Do you want to be blind for the rest of your life?" They shook their head no. I then tell them to put on their goggles. They then ask me, "Tell me, what would Jesus do?" I restrained myself of saying, "That will not work on me." I actually told them, "I know where that line came from." Their jaw dropped. I never knew that a line from a movie would come back at me.

Except that the jocks go to parties, get laid, can handle themselves in social situations, etc., while the typical nerd can't.


I can handle myself fine...and jocks because they get laid end up paying child support from going to the parties.

Nerds have thier own parties forget the brainless jock who can't do algerbra or even program thier DVD-R recorder. Who owns Microsoft? A nerd! Who owns Google? A nerd! Who owns Yahoo! A nerd! Who gives us medical advances? Nerds!
Who makes techology that makes our lives easier? Nerds.
Who got us thouse awesome pictures of the surface of Mars? A whole group of Nerds!
And thouse same nerds will make the world a better place.

lets face it folks the nerd has inherited the earth with a vengance!

This is pretty nerdy. I shop a lot at my local WalMart. It's clean, nearby and reliable. Unfortunately, it is the same qualities for my friends. wheter on my Basketball team or not. They know I like transformers. My friend claims he saw the movie 8 times in theatres, and we always talk about who will be in the next movie at practice. But they don't know I actually collect the toys. There's a fine line between just liking the story, or being totally obsessed like we are. Wow, I ramble, anyways, I think it's really nerdy when I spot someone I know in the checkout line, then run all the way to the next side of the store to make my transaction. Wasted effort.
Skywarp is afraid of the creepy grey bar of ads.

MISB collecting. SERIOUSLY, IT'S A TOY.




And thinking tfs are nerdy. You're making it nerdy by acting like it is. Nobody I've ever talked to has ever been bothered that my room is full of transformers.
