You should go con. We're a much more lively bunch.


Aye, that's summat I don't quite understand. Why is it that when the board went down, most of the bots disappeared too? Seems a bit suspect to me.
I mean, I know that a few changed allegiance, but surely that many couldn't have disappeared. Unless the bot faction only has about 80 members

I could never do that. It annoys me enough seeing 'cons using bot names so imagine how much I would annoy myself (I'd have to get rid of the Jazz bit but wouldn't know who to replace it with)

I think most posting 'bots stopped posting until V2 (fools) and then with everyone being busy over zmas even more people have stopped posting. And then the deletion (is that even a word?) of 11 days worth of topics/posts was a bit of a blow to war efforts.

Going back to your point about people joining a faction then whining, I can't understand the people who've joined the AWC but plan to switch to the Maximals at V2.

I watched the link and.. and.. and WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ARCHER GUY? WHEN DID TRANSFORMERS BECOME BATMAN? AFTER 1 MINUTE, I KNEW IT WAS A LOST CAUSE, I FOUGHT MYSELF TO WATCH A BIT MORE AND The robot designs weren't too bad, but I will almost definitely give this a complete pass unless I am drained of other Transformers stimuli. Honestly, who over 5 will seriously desire these?
Also, as I come from Somerset, I yearn to join the disgruntled Brits crew. I plead with you: How do I join? Is there some sort of initiation ceremony Involving cider, fish and chips, and a cricket bat? Please, allow me to join, and tell me how to do so.
I PLEAD!

Initiation! How about trying to find every single movie figure in the UK (including scouts). When you find all but one you will have an intense enough disliking of Hasbro for you to join us.

Seriously though, no there is no initiation. Welcome aboard the ODB shipmate. How I wish "beware the ODB contains pyrates" was still appropriate but all good things must come to an end.

That archer dude was just the first 2 minutes. Literally. The rest of the episode is pure Megatron. If you haven't watched the rest of the ep, go back and do so.

Oh, and welcome to the ODB.

Sorry, I'd rather not do your initiation Jaaaazzzzzrules, but I know how hard it is to find things. I had a big rant about it in another thread, but I forget which. The Allspark power line looks brilliant, it was the start of my rant about how I doubt I'll ever see the good ones. Waagh.


Look! It's smiley Churchill!
Thank you for accepting me!

y'harrr!

after the horrible xmas ive had pc wise i thought it'd be good to get back to the good ship ODB,

thought id share the fact i picked up a star wars luke/snowspeeder at asda yesterday, bit of luck ill manage to get a turbo tank next time.

seems the movie stuff has died off now, anybody seen leader brawl about??

Probably keeping tabs on you lot.

Yeah, if V2 ever comes. It's not on the horizon yet, so I think it'll be awful quiet in the Autobase for a long while yet...


You'll be pleased to know I used to own Broadside then
Got rid of it a while back. Maybe you'd also find it interesting that I used to have a bot team? All about level 3ish and some KO canon names.
Things got messy and I cut it loose a while back, in the time of Glyph.

Arr, we be pyrates in more ways than one matey

Episode four is out already? Is it on Youtubez yet?


And welcome to the fine ship ODB, where there is but one woman, who rarely ever comes in here (Damn you Tangent, we're your 'family' here! *shakes fist*)


How is the snowspeeder? Looks more interesting than most of the others?

I used to see a few leader Brawls, but it seems the movie stuff has pretty much gone now. I bet shops won't be restocking tfs until the end of January now as well

ok master blaster here is my mini reveiw of snowspeeder luke

vehicle mode:- cool! reminds me why iused to love it as a kid.
no obvious way of storing the lightsabre, at least no listed way, you can store it away, if my pc worked id take some pics but its deader then dead.

robot mode:- hmmm... whats the most polite way of saying "dwarf legs" without offending people??
hes tiny! compared to the obi wan and vader tie molds he's a short ass
plus the wings dont fold back to brilliantly, bit to much
back kibble really.

overall im glad i got him, still wish the turbo tank was there though...

DARKAGEIS wrote:seems the movie stuff has died off now, anybody seen leader brawl about??

Only place I've seen leader Brawl is TRU York but he seems to have disappeared for now. Just a quick heads up for everyone but the above mentioned TRU is having stock check this coming sunday/monday so maybe stock lurking in the back will make an appearance afterwards. Also, does anyone know why TRU are selling FABs as deluxes?

MB - what got messy with your 'Bot team? Episode 4 is indeed on the tube, check it out, I thought it was very good - much better than any of the AEC episodes

Aye, but the times I do drop by more than make up for my long absences right?

little warning!
play.com is listing a discounted arc 170 /clone pilot star wars transformer, there actually stocking the republic gunship instead, the listing is wrong, ive rang them about it twice now, first time i was ok with it as i didnt have the gunship
but i dont want two.

thought id give the rest of you a heads up.

Well, I rate that last post pretty low Tan. Two lines? pfft


The nice thing about the SWTFs is, even if they have an ass of an alt mode, there's always the veichle mode which seem to pretty good.


Well, my autobot team was own original account. This one used to be my bro's while he was heavily into HMW and such. But he lost interest of Seibs pretty much, and gave me his team to caretake.

Later on, people decided this was a nono, so Glyph locked it for me. I actually think that the team still exists, under the username Destructicon57.



I think I'll pop off and watch episode four. Then I better get on with Chemistry revision. Module 3 tomorrow!

I had module 1 maths resit today. I think it went quite well, unless I fooked up badly and used the completely wrong numbers. Fingers crossed people!


EDIT:- What's episode 2 called?

I don't really see why that was a problem, although it does slightly flout the "no more than 1 account" rule

Good look with the Chemistry revision. I had an exam today myself. Usually I can tell if I've done well or not but this time I can't. Its the first time I've ever seen a question about a movie in a geography exam.

A movie? What movie? My Geog test had nothing as fun as that in it last year.

All the worried looking peeps hanging around the exam halls, ahh, if only I had my scooter to run rings around them and make them feel even worse. Sigh, I actually kinda wish I was still doing exams this year....

See MB? I can write less short posts, but I'm saving my words for the 6000 words of essay I have to do, ok!?


Oh, and good luck with all your exams guys!

Bwahahaha! I feel good at the moment, without having to worry about tests At least, not until next year when I start getting ready for my GSCEs... And I've got to choose my options soon and go to lots of boring career stuff... yay... Suddenly, I don't feel as happy...

Good luck to everyone with exams by the way!

It's an improvement Tan

I'm amazed by just how many year 12s are doing chemistry this year. There's only 8 of us in A2, and about 40 in AS

Yeah, apparently I was lucky not to get banned. pfft, the rules are flawed.


Enjoy the freedom while you can Frimal. It gets horrible pretty quick. Oh, and don't use up all your steam on GCSEs. You'll knacker yourself before the real event begins.

If you do do A levels, believe what people say when this stuff will be harder, and you will need to work hard. A levels are no picnic, that's for sure.

haaaaa...I should get back to chemistry revision I suppose. I'm signing off for the night. Catch you lot tomorrow, and good luck with your exams too!

It was The Day After Tomorrow. I had to explain a previous rapid climate change event and how it could have been used as an inspiration for the story behind TDAT. I know that probably sounds fairly boring to most people but I must admit it was one of the funnest exam questions I've ever had to answer.

I think it sounds fun I hope you win.

On my exam I got asked a question about robots, but it wasnt a fun question, it was more about shoes...

The Master Blaster wrote:What's episode 2 called?

MB - It's called "Home is Where the Spark Is"

Tan - how do robots and shoes go together?

I want to come up with a fun and disturbing story about that, but I'm too tired.

It was all about manufacturing lines and child labor and whatnot. Nike shoes and that. Really boring stuff basically. Although the factorys where they have the workers have the Nike "Just do it" signs all over them. XD

Your question sounds more fun, and less depressing.

My responses as I read the above:

1.I plan to enjoy it

2. Real event?...

3. Work hard!!!

4. No picnic!

5.Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, I see. I was thinking about humanoid robots and completely forgot that the machines that make almost everything we use are robots as well.

I know! Disapointment.

Ahh well, at least you got a fun question!

I watched it all from the link, thanks for the advice, but is the rest of the episode there? Animated has grown on me quite a lot, now that I look at it. The archer isn't heresy: He's a laugh. Thanks for persuading me to watch it, I might actually buy one now! Also, I think I'm the same age as Frimal, I have SATs coming up, and my options are rearing their head. I'm gonna take drama. Who knows, I might voice Transformers: Crapmasters in a decade!
Hah, as if.
