Disappointed to have missed out on Guardian (I'm always too slow on those internet exclusives) but can't wait wait to finally get my hands on Devastator on Saturday.

What?! If you're Japan based, wouldn't it be easier?

Thanks for the link. I don't regret it enough to pay to have one shipped back to Japan.

Yup, he was really hot in Japan, unlike MP Ramjet.

Groo-fensor. Looking sweet. Same with the others. Talk about scramble.

And I now feel the urge to make rollerskates for one of my combiners using Swindle and Rook....

No need to scalp when hasbro asia has a bunch.

Well there are a bunch of g1'ers griping for it. I bet they'll (bigroove and blast-off) be released next year. (Would be cool if the blast-off was repainted into the mini-con rocket from armada...)

You know, I'm really not liking how this "G1'er" term is being thrown around in such a derogatory manner lately.

Why is it so wrong to prefer G1? What gives others the rights to mock and ridicule another member of this fandom because of their like for one particular generation?

The term "Geewunner" in its proper context is not supposed to refer to those who simply prefer G1. It's meant to refer to those who prefer G1 above all else to the extreme extent of shunning all non-G1 series.

To a true "Geewunner", things like G2, BW, BM, RID (either one), Armada, Energon, Cybertron, the Movies, Animated, Prime, Rescue Bots, etc. are abominations or pale imitations of "the one TRUE Transformers series" that is G1 and don't deserve any of the same love and attention that only G1 should ever get.

So it's not a term that's meant to refer to just G1 fans in general, but more to a specific minority that devoutly cares only for G1 and fully abhors everything else.

I'm well aware of it's meaning, I'm talking about the context in how it's been used as of late to mock and ridicule others.

I dunno, probably the same thing that allows them to crap on absolutely everything that's not some 3p, uber-G1-accurate, extravagance. Seriously, there's so much crap being slung towards hasbro - and even TT - and everything they do, that those of us that would like something that isn't G1, can't even get an opinion past without being direct.

Seriously, it's everywhere, what about all the rest of us, that want updated figures from our childhood? Haven't we glorified G1 enough? Even now, when you're getting all the combiners, and headmasters, and targetmasters, and titans - on top of everything else the generations line has yielded, it still isn't good enough! Maybe people want an amazing bw megs, or a poseable armada prime super mode, or another chance at rid super god convoy...

Who's mocking, we all know this is an entirely likely outcome for this figure, they'll be showing up on ebay soon - doesn't make it right

Ignorance? Envy? The need call for attention? Same with lobbing generalizations on how a specific line is better than the other.Lot of psycho analytic babble you can use to write a thesis on.

But you're generalising. Yes, G1 is MY preferred period, but I like and appreciate nearly all the other eras, but if I had a preference, it's G1.

Why then, should I be mocked and ridiculed for that because of a small vocal minority?

Seriously, it's everywhere, what about all the rest of us, that want updated figures from our childhood? Haven't we glorified G1 enough? Even now, when you're getting all the combiners, and headmasters, and targetmasters, and titans - on top of everything else the generations line has yielded, it still isn't good enough!

Then you need to talk to Hasbro. Why blame the G1 fans for the lack of new figures from other eras?

Now to put the Admin hat on, do not self censor yourself! I consider this a blatant attempt to bypass the swear filter and if you have to say **** then say **** and let the swear filter do it's job so I can get my lulz!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

*Walks in*

Yo guys whattup?

*sees all the guys going over the "Geewunner" dictionary definition, the swear filter getting upgraded, a general argument spawned over Jet Blastoff, whom I like*

Ok guys, I'll check back in later. Tell me when we got a full Bruticus to review!

... a specific minority that devoutly cares only for G1 and fully abhors everything else.

In my short time here I've never encountered anyone who completely exemplifies this definition. I've seen folks who I suspected to be as such, scramble up their combiners, embrace RID15 for it's good merits, and fully except Rook,Off Road, and Alpha B into their hearts. Who are we talking about? 84Forever? Does he even post here anymore? We have folks who lean hard on G1, but no one so staunch. Granted we're not the entire fandom, but I wouldn't know. I only hang out here.

The only ones I see around here driving the G1 wagon, is Takara. IMO a majority of their CW decos are too toon accurate. Menasor looks like he stepped out of a damn coloring book.
But they are handling other lines very nicely!
