I don't enjoy being Dead End. =(

Why would they do a Thundercracker? The current Starscream is Thundercracker.

Part of me thinks they did him in blue so they didn't have to do a Thundercracker, just a repaint of "Starscream G1 Colours Version", then a Skywarp and everyone would have all three Seekers.

I don't think they'll do Arcee. Maybe Elita-1!

Then lighten up sometimes :P

I dunno, I just read it somewhere, to be fair they easily do both, G1 colours and a proper vibrant blue verson, rather than the light grayish-blue Screamer is atm.

I would also buy her! ^ ^


Ooo, I decided who I'm being for this fancy dress thingy, try and guess! XD

Barry the Chopper!

You've seen the toy right? He is very very blue. In fact he is the same blue as cartoon Thundercracker.

Hehe, why was he the first to spring to mind? :P
I'm actually being Hawkeye! ^^ But my friend says I suit Barry more... Should I be worried?

He is not so blue, I have seen him, unless my monitor is being funky... At the least he's light blue, TC should be bluer :P

Awesome! I <3 Hawkeye. I keep trying to get Hopey to cosplay as her but she's having none of it as she does not like FMA. =(

I did have a Hughes/Roy costume on the go, but I gave up and did Ryuuk instead. Haven't done any cosplaying since then.

I don't know why Barry came to mind. :P He just seems like the kind of oddity you'd go for.

Aww, shame she wont do it, that would be ace with both of you ^ ^ Nag her until she gives in! :P

I am cheating and buying the outfit :( I want to make it, but I wont have time as I'm efectively stuck in a 10 week exam starting next week. I am dying my hair though, so it almost counts...

If I did have time to make the outfit, I was totally going to be Barry, I'm so predictable. ^^

Given enough time I will make her come round. She doesn't like the clamp style and didn't want to watch Code Geass but I insited on watching in bed and she got hooked, same with Death Note.

FMA was more difficult because I was reading the manga. She did like Hughes though, and said that would totally be me when we have a child. :P

It just seems to be my destiny. All my favourite characters seem to get killed.

It all started with Dagger, then Kagato, Agito survived barely... Phelkis bought the farm. Jinnai was last seen being dragged off to hump Queen Diva against his will, let's hope she didn't eat him afterwards. Kunzite got petrified... Hughes died most unexpectedly. GORN got blown up. I just have the worst luck picking the guys who die all the time.

That's quite a depressing list you have... *has a think* Billy Kane dosnt die! He just, gets beat up lots...

Besides, all the best people die, or get maimed, or go crazy, or dissapear never to be seen again without any explaination, or get 'emotionaly' scarred and become unspeakabley emo for life. It's a conspiracy!

I wouldnt worry too much though, it's unlikey any of those style of death will happen directly to you :P

Armada Dead End is almost in my hands. I will crush the eBay opposition into dust with my superior money spending skills.

Kagato is perhaps my favourite villain of all time. I was heartbroken when they killed him off. And to make matters worse at the end of Season 3 they decide to bring him back as a cute little girl with loli-appeal named Kagato-chan... and a big chunk of my world just died. But I blame Michael Bay for that.

It's also Michael Bay's fault that Squarenix ruined Final Fantasy 7 forever.

You don't seem to understand. He is responsible for everything bad that happens in the world.

He took a trip to Japan and stole Tenchi from Pioneer, then knowing he would piss off all the fans he said. "Let's turn the badass main villain into a little girl for Japanese pedophiles to wank off to!" And so they did, and there was much mourning.

Then he ran over to Squarenix and and grabbed a copy of FF7, cut it in half and smeared it with feces. To which Tetsuya Nomura replied, "OMG That's amazing! We should repackage and mass produce this half and call it Advent Children! Then the other half Dirge of Cerberberberberus!"

And many believe that he is still out there to this day, causing mayhem amongst the fans of major franchises world wide.

Bandwidth restrictions are preventing me from starting Season 7 of Stargate. >=( I might have to bust out the TV until my usage goes down, though I really don't want to.

Just relax guys, even when Animated is released you'll only have a small fraction of characters to choose from. It's going to be a long slog through to the end of the line.
