One more thing that saddens me about where Hasbro and the fandom are taking Transformers. This is honestly the dumbest and most insulting thing I have ever seen Hasbro do to this toyline. Of all the people who have put in DECADES of time, talent, enthusiasm, love, and literally sweated for these life inspiring figures; how does some new ~sissy rugby~ player get a Megatron toy painted after him? He has nothing to do with Transformers and does nothing for society, he plays with a ball; a child's game. Then here comes ESPN and fans thinking this is awesome, settling for whatever lame thing gets thrown at them, all the while associating ~sissy rugby~ players once again with things on the side of the corrupt. Megatron is the most renowned villain ever created. He doesn't carry balls in his hands... he kills worlds. So arming a Megatron toy with a ~sissy rugby~ ball is just damn wrong. I just can't comprehend the lazy, lame things that come out of what could be the coolest toy line in history.
How about instead you do something for the likes of:
http://www.allspark.com/http://www.seibertron.com/http://tformers.com/http://www.tfw2005.com/you know, people that kill themselves for your brand who are renowned for their tireless effort. You want a prime example, how about a Seiberton theme colored Primus toy that says "Transforms from robot into Seibertron.Com" on all over the box?
This has nothing to do with me, nor am I in any way thinking of myself. But I could never count the number of writers, artists, convention planners, panel organizers, devoted cosplayers or the like who could deserve something like this 1000 times more.
I do not get it, or want to understand it people. Please, feel free to let the bashing begin.
