Its a huge insult to G1 fans who collect CHUG.
Want us to call the wahmbulance for ya?
Need some some cream for that butt hurt?
Seriously ... this just cracked me up big time. The thought of a grown adult getting so upset over a plastic toy that he's spun a conspiracy theory involving an evil money sucking corporation is just **** hilarious.
And I suppose you believe in some kind of alternative theory that doesnt involve profit ? I would love to hear the Burn theory on why Alpha Bravo and friends exist. Im guessing you believe 100,000 kids held a mass rally outside of hasbro corporate offices to protest the release of slingshot, wildrider, and groove? After all by your logic, CHUG is only for kids and adults play no role in 1980s G1 homages. Any theory that doesent involve corporate greed is THE REAL conspiracy theory buddy. I wish the corporate world had as much integrity as this small group of tf fans is willing to believe it does. Sorry, im not among the faithful.
Also Burn, while youe at it, do you care to explain why IDW drew the Alpha Bravo character as a vortex repaint long before anyone knew a toy would exist ?
I think you are in serious denial about alpha bravo. You really want to believe an IDW artist just came up with the character out of the blue and happened to make him look like vortex but painted like the combiner limb he was replacing ? Pure coincidence right ?
You know what X? I've had it with your ****! **** you! You are completely overreacting and blowing it way out of proportion. I'm starting to think you have mental issues, X. Seriously, what's your problem with good ol' Alpha Bravo? And he's made to piss off collectors? Please! That has to be the stupidest theory I've ever heard!
Youve had it with my s**t ?
With an account created in Jan 2015 and only 44 posts I gotta ask...how long have you been lurking on here ?
Calm your nerves (have a beer or something) and ask yourself this...
What is the logical reason to take Vortex and paint him just like Slingshot so he can replace Slingshot ? That doesnt seem a bit fishy ? Maybe I wouldnt believe the IDW storyline was a total marketing scam if they created a new mold INSTEAD of using Vortex...
