The Bane of your Existance
Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2014 11:13 am
Now, in regards to your personal relationship with Transformers, what has been the bane of your existence? It could be anything. A figure you hated, and story arc in a cartoon/movie/comic you hated, childhood memories, whatever.
For me, its this little #$^%&$@...
G1 Throttlebot Freeway.
When I was a kid, I grew up watching season 1 and the movie. Over and over again. Hotrod quickly became my favorite character and I wanted his toy more than anything. I distinctly recall a trip to the store and actually seeing Hotrod on the shelf and begging my mom to get him for me. She didn't (I assume she couldn't afford it or something) but in order to calm me down, grabbed my pal Freeway here. It must have worked at the moment since I don't remember causing a scene (and I was actually quite quiet and well behaved as a kid). But afterwords and even to this day, I sort of labeled freeway as the reason I never had Hotrod growing up.
That, and Freeway sucks.
What makes this funnier, is now that I'm expanding my collection, not only do I need a G1 Freeway but I've also fallen in love with Toyworlds Throttlebots. So I'll eventually have two Freeway's... one of which I'll love and secretly hate at the same time
