I'm thinking something festive. Since, it's is around that time. Maybe something to do with Kwanza or Winter Solstice?
I don't know. What do the masses want?
I was thinking about a running holiday thread for the participants of H-M-W. But sort of in the vein of how Burn does the Late Night with Mini Maximus Prime. I don't know.
What do yall think?

Kwanzaa? Here's some
info.Yeah, I was thinking something comedic to bring in some festive cheer.
Along the lines of gifts to give the various HMW combatants. Okay, I've got it.
First you pick a various combatant and you "deliver" a gift to them. Then they pick another combatant and "deliver" a gift to them. Sorta like HMW meets Secret Santa/White Elephant. Sound good?
I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be that you pick someone, and then they pick someone. Kwanzaa Bot has PLENTY of gifts to hand out I suppose.
Example:
To: Omega Supreme
From: Kwanza Bot
Please enjoy these Constructicon Punching Bags. And remember, collect all 6!That one was lame, but it's the best I could come up with while being as generic as possible for Omega Supreme.
Now who's down with this?

I love Kwanzaa Bot, but the Hanukkah Zombie is so much cooler.

Aaaaah Kwanzaa, the holiday founded in 1966 by a rapist and murderer (and leader of a national cult) Ron Karenga as a substitute to clash with the Christian holiday of Christmas.
Sound like a holiday you should celebrate? I wonder if they use the ceremonial branding iron as their wonderful leader did? I wonder how Deborah Jones and Gail Davis feel about the praise lauded on their illustrious torturer?

and celebrating the birth of someone that cuased the massacre of innocents is?
the point of days like this is not what their creator did, or the message they intended to spread, but to celebrate you're love for your family, and to remind yourself what truely is important to you.
anyhoo

I'm a Christian. I'm struggling as is to be a solid, excellent, attractive light in this world of darkness. But cmon, you completely and utterly derailed and hijacked my thread. This was supposed to be a comedic, fun HMW meets White Elephant styled thread. And you had to go and make it completely terrible. I'm sorry, but Kwanzaa Bot is a reference to the tv show Futurama. There was an episode where the character Bender of that show has substituted for Santa Claus. At the end of his many travels, Bender encounters Kwanzaa Bot--another robot much like Bender. The only reason that I used Kwanzaa Bot was because I can't really think of any other robots that are represented as holiday figures, and since HMW is about robots I wanted to use a robot, gift-giving, holiday figure.
So, please keep your politics out of the thread. And next time, think twice before you derail something that someone is attempting to do for fun. You've completely killed all the momentum of the thread. Especially now that I've had to come in here, ask you to be polite and have some fun.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Since I've hit level 6 I've been saved more times in missions by Gore and the other Freaks more times than I can remember. Sure, they've also used my team as shields in the past but a Decepticon win is a Decepticon win.

Quietstorm: Oh, Im sorry... I guess basing a comic character on a guy who inserted a red-hot branding iron into the mouths of his victims should be socially acceptable. To keep you on a roll, I guess you could have his elves be Manson, Dalmer and Ripper.
You as a Christian should understand the power of the meaning of words. After all, by how many names does your God go by in the Old Testament? And how many of them have specific meanings? You can claim ignorance for not knowing the history behind the so-called holiday, but that doesn't excuse blind following, unless you are simply a lemming. That said, trying to claim that "kwanzaabot is just a cartoon charater and thus irrellevant" doesn't work. The very word Kwanzaa has a murderous history. Trying to claim it's an innocent word is like trying to claim that the word "swastika" has no ties to the Nazi regime.
But hey, if all it takes to justify the usage of the holiday and it's dark history is a cartoon robot, then by all means, carry on. Guess you wouldn't understand the meaning of the following:
"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." Ephesians 5:11 You live the title, or just wear it?

Dude... seriously, shut up. QS was just trying for a little fun, and I suspect most of us, like QS, didnt have the foggyest about kwanzaa other than via the Futurarma charecter (I know I sure as hell didnt).
If it REALLY offends you that much, Im sure he could change it to Santatron or somit, but just flaming him with religious reteoric is just gonna piss people off.
Now, if you want to show QS how it should be done, please by all means step up and do something, anything for the entertainment of the comunity as a whole. Otherwise leave it out.
And for the record, the swastica was origanaly a sign of peace, and the Nazi symbol is techincally not a correct swastika as it points the wrong way.

This isn't the philosipher's forum. Take it outside. If you don't want to participate in the discussion, then you are spamming and mods will be alerted.
On topic, I can't think of one to put up yet. Sorry.
Just had to comment on that guy. People like that are popping up a lot lately, and they really piss me off.
