Waspinator looks sweet too.

Keep telling yourselves whatever you want.
You, and the few others that creep around this site just waiting for someone like me to say something like I said so you can jump all over it. I have seen your other posts in other threads and that is all you two do in the comments sections. Rail people for having a different opinion about these than you have. Pretty lame.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

This is how Thundercracker currently looks in the comic, which, as the authors and artists have admitted to, is based on the same body-type as the WFC/FOC Seeker design.shockblast2 wrote:The IDW Thundercracker looks NOTHING like FOC Thundercracker. Hasbro is just too cheap to create a new mold for it, so they used the FOC Starscream mold. Which is good for aligned fans, because it keeps the line going until the TF3 game comes out, whatever it will be called.
Yup.shockblast2 wrote:Classics is dead. Hasbro killed it when they went to the new size classes.

I should've said G1 cars. When I think Classicverse, I tend to think of that whole CHUG line, not specifically the Classicverse from the comics.
shockblast2 wrote:No, I rarely post here, like many others. Why? Because of people like these two goons. There is no profit in arguing with people who only see things their way to the point that they cannot allow another opinion to be made that contradicts their view. You guys argue about the most ridiculous things that I have ever seen on a site like this. Last week I came here and you all were venomously ranting about Hasbros legends line because they are not scout sized. Even Sabrblade there has "god of transformers" on his title because people like him think that their OPINION is the rule and law of collecting. Only to him and the few cronies that follow his opinion. I proved this six months ago when he and I had a baited exchange about this very issue just so I could prove what I already suspected. As for the rest of us, we stay silent in the background, shaking our collective heads, and thinking "wow, glad I am not obsessed with transformers like these guys". Liking this kind of thing is ok, but you all's nerd rage over the g1 issue is a real turn off for casual posters like myself.
I posted my OP today because I wanted to see if the same reaction still exists here six months later. And pathetically it does. And it is the SAME five or so of you that are still at it. Pretty weak. Just let people have their opinions, like you have yours. Anyone who knows anything about business will tell you Hasbro keeps these things ambiguous on purpose to sell as many figures as possible. And this is the final point I made when I posted this discussion six months ago, but some of you have conveniently forgot about that.
And to set the record straight, I did not start this. Sabrblade ran his mouth (again) because someone else had a different opinion about Skids than he did. That is why I posted in the first place. And it is not just this post. Randomly I saw some other random member telling him to "suck it" anonymously on an unrelated post. Why? Because the guy can't just let people have their opinions. Dead Metal is just as bad. Kinda makes me wonder if these guys are either married or the same person.
Did you see me bash the G1 guy for his opinion? NO. Just Sabrblade when he did it to that guy first. I figured what is good for the anon is good for him. The point is this kind of aggressive trolling is why most of us never post here. Look at your post counts. I did the math. you both post 6 or more a day average for the last 6 years. Me? 0.14 per day. Why is that? Because of people like you two who cannot stop running your mouths for ten seconds to allow others to post their opinions w/o you rebutting. It is unprofitable to argue with people about silliness such as this. And yet again you have proved this out for me.
See you in six more months.

Which Legends?shockblast2 wrote:Last week I came here and you all were venomously ranting about Hasbros legends line because they are not scout sized.
Like Dead Metal said, that title comes from my post count. I didn't choose that title. I started as a Mini-Con and worked my way up just like everyone else.shockblast2 wrote:Even Sabrblade there has "god of transformers" on his title because people like him think that their OPINION is the rule and law of collecting.
As it evidently wasn't clear, I was joking around with RiddlerJ, and Mkall's retort was a joke aimed at me, and then I joked back with him. We joke around a lot here. It's in the official welcome to the site: "WARNING: Seibertron Contains Nuts. "shockblast2 wrote:And to set the record straight, I did not start this.

Cool story, bro.shockblast2 wrote:My personal opinion is that you two (Sabrblade & Dead Metal), like me at one time, need to check into the Anti-Nerd rage coalition rehab center. They will remove all that TF animosity from your minds. They did me, and I worked my way up the ladder to become its current CEO. You too are always welcome to become a reformed nerd rager. We will cure you of your geewunitis and you will come back to the forums a more civilized and open minded poster in the future. Think about it.

This thread is about Waspinator, Goldfire, Skids and Dreadwing. Nothing else.
Don't make me come back in here.

I'm sure he's already forgotten about it.
btw ... when I said this thread was about Goldfire, Waspinator, Skids and Dreadwing, I was also implying that things stay on topic.
Your previous post tends to disregard that. I'm not a fan of having my Moderator posts disregarded (I can handle the non-moderator posts being disregarded)
Sabrblade - I appreciate some of the things you said in your post above. Maybe I judged you too harshly not seeing your "humor" in your posts. Since you admit that is what is was I can say that I take back what I said about you being closed minded.
I used to frequent TFW2005 and post quite often there until one day I got tired of some of the people who post there. I guess I am a little jumpy when I see posts like these because I got sick of reading these posts with senior members of sites that try to act like their opinion is fact.
I didn't know that is part of the handle system here as I thought you made that up yourself, fueling in my mind the thought that you were narcissistic about collecting transformers. While I am not perfect by any means, I do try to pride myself on admitting when I was wrong and I was too harsh with you in my post. I am sorry for that. Please accept my apology for my part of the conversation.
