Aw man... if you (people) like them enough, then buy them. If you don't, then at least you saved your money for something else.

If you dont fall under one of those catagories then no worries. Feel free to speak your own mind if my views dont fit yours. But I will continue to be the voice for the voiceless that are drowning in a sea of neo fans.

So youre saying I could take away youre nice sports car and force you to drive a mini cooper and you would still be happy ?
I wouldnt be caught dead driving that girly mini SUV Toyworld used for his alt mode. Searchlight WAS raped, with no Vasaline. At least Rollbar got to keep his G1 dignity and his Grind Rod.

What, you're the only one here with an account? People can post for themselves. They don't need you to speak up for them. You're not advocating for anybody here; you're just adamant about YOUR OWN point of view.
Don't make a broad "30 year old fans don't want ___" comment. Lots of adult fans aren't as vehement as you or define things as you do.

Since I drive a Corolla and have no need/intention of buying a sports car... sure?
it's a straw comparison, at best. It's Searchlight. 'Neo' is not a swear word or insult.

I think you missed my point. Toyworld's choice for Searchlight was not very manly. They made him into a chick ride. That's the insult. They could have used a more manly sports car like in G1 and still made it neo and cool. If Fansproject used the mini SUV for a stunticon, there would have neen 20 pages of nerd rage. But toyworld does it to poor Searchlight and nobody gives a s**t.

I could be in the minorities, but then again so could you. Nobody knows because not everybody who reads here posts. But everyone seems to ignore the list of non-neo G1 3rd party figures I listed earlier. Nobody wants to explain how they came into existance when the whole TF community is so pro-neo and Rated X is the ONLY collector alive who doesnt support the neo concept. Im the only person who owns Hegemon I guess ? Everyone else's Megatron has wings and transforms into a nerf gun. Captured Prey and Chimungmung cant even give Hegemon away. Only Rated X bought one...that weirdo !!! No wings...He's going to hell I tell you !

"Everyone's" ignoring your list because they don't want to get into a strawman argument with you.
You don't represent all 30 year old TF fans. That's the only point I'm making here.

I find this offensive, to be honest.
Claiming that something is an insult because it is 'feminine' is sexist, disrespectful and in bad taste. As are rape jokes, or using 'rape' as any kind of analogy.
By all means, critique the figures, lines, brand and so on, but could you please avoid using this type of language?
Rated X wrote:I never said I represented ALL of them. Im not really familiar with the term "strawman". Maybe it's a regional term ? But my list does prove there is a market out there for non-neo G1 3rd party products. Oh s**t I forgot the Fansproject Function X series ! Super G1 and hardly the definition of what has become to be known as "neo". I dont see too many complaints about that from the neo supporters. Instead, I see more and more Botcon Weirdwolfs going up on e-bay.

I know some folks do not like the alt mode. Is it possible that this alt mode was chosen so that it can easily become the other foot for the combiner mode?

Yeah, where's that Dime-block guy when you need him...?
So, not the bottom of the box, but swiped from TW's webpage, it's a foot!

I'm not thrilled by ToyWorld's lack of clear plastic for windows, as it makes Aurora look like he's got a black chest. The least they could've done was colour the roof white and tweak the transformation so more of it formed his chest. But my biggest issue with this and all of ToyWorld's figures is the size. They're all kinda large. They just about fit into a Classics line-up, but they still look odd.
I'm getting the Throttlebots as well as Hardbone, but I'd like to know why ToyWorld made their figures as big as they did. I guess it bodes well for the hinted at Dinobots though.
