Well, at least mine's humorous. Your's on the other hand? Bordering on frenzied. (not a good thing, mind you.)

Vector Prime and all of the other repaints? (Animated, Classics, etc.) Over. Kill. Please stop. PLEASE.
The genius behind the VP repaint should be thanked. That's a homage to... let's just see... "The Last Autobot", and for others who haven't picked up VP about 2 years ago, this is a blessing. The Scourge repaint is ridiculous. We finally get a homage to an RID character, that well... looks amazing brilliant, and not OVERKILLED.
You know who he is. I know who he is, but to kids and casual collectors, he's just more shelf warming fodder. Obscure characters like this one are nothing more than a fanwank. A nice nod, but certainly not necessary.

Which IMO, is awesome to people who've read alot of comics. BTW, Bumblebee is not a repaint, it's a rerelease. Skywarp is also enjoyable. What? Don't like it? C'mon, it's been done a trillion times already, and get damn well used to it. I'm just disappointed that not all of the seekers couldn't have been repainted at the voyager scale.
I really don't see why I have to alter what I have to say to appease you? Oh that's right, I don't have to. Like you said: "get damn well used to it." Your attitude really sucks, but I'm used to *that* when it comes to dealing with people on message boards. Still, you felt compelled for some reason to go off the reservation with my post, so I figured I might as well return the favor.
Anywho. I don't read comics, and not everyone does. I couldn't give two craps about The Fallen. I most certainly don't care about an homage to him. Whoopty friggin' doo, it's DA FALLIN'! If he floats your boat, great. He does absolutely nothing for me, and the fact that it bugs you that I don't like what you like...is pretty pathetic.
Blurrz wrote:Onto Classics, and what you say is really irritating. For most people when Classics first came out, Starscream was hard to find. Infact, I never even saw one. With the addition of half of the seekers being Botcon exclusives, this repaint is a blessing. Sure Acid Storm brought me the mold, but it's not the same thing. This Starscream repaint is the biggest blessing of them all. We get a more accurate cartoon version of Starscream, and all you can say is complain about it? What the hell is wrong with you?
Your whining. Over. Kill. Please. Stop. PLEASE.
I'll ask you the same question...WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! You seriously need to put yourself in check, because you're going nuts over what I said. I have no idea what your malfunction is, but seriously, go get your bolts tightened.
1.) I'm not a Classics collector. I got rid of my Classics collection. I do, however, own Megatron, Galvatron, will own Cyclonus, and Hound might be worth picking up. the rest? Not so much. Not in my book. In your's? maybe. Not mine. That's the problem, you can't seem to deal with the fact that I don't share your love for your beloved Classics.
2.) I don't care about Classics repaints. I don't like them, I don't collect them, I feel no need to do so. (why this bothers you soooo much that this post of your's needed to be made is beyond me.)
3.) I can complain about anything I want. You obviously can, so I might as well jump on the bandwagon. I didn't know you had the market cornered, cupcake. Just because repaints are a given, doesn't mean I have to be pleased with their existence, and again, the fact that my point of view, aimed at the toys, (not you) bothers you, is INSANE! Yep, repaints will rear their ugly heads in the current TF lines, but this year, so far, is getting out of hand. Universe is chock full of them, with proposed repaints of the new figures already on the drawing board! It's one thing to have them as filler where necessary, but relying on them like they are now, is just ridiculous. All of that time, money, and effort could be put to better use. One repaint? Fine. 2-3? Okay. But last I checked, between Animated and Universe, we're looking at at least 12-15 and then some.
That's not using them as filler, that's a habit Hasbro needs to kick.
If you want Starscream, great. More power to you. If I don't want him, also great, *MY* RIGHT TO NOT WANT IT!
I don't know if you think my opinion is so important that Hasbro will read it and automatically stop making repaints, or what, but this post of your's was totally uncalled for. The tone of the entire post shows you were geared up for a fight, and this was really nothing more than a chance for you to unleash your apparent lack of self control, and it's just one giant piece of flamebait.
It's all of the countless posts like your's that cause the server hard drive(s) to fail, The hardware just can't take the amount of stupid and fail on a constant basis.
You seriously need a cool down period before hitting the submit button. You also need to reexamine your problem with other people's opinions. You don't have to like the opinion, or agree with it, but you have serious problems if you can go batcrap insane over a person not caring about the same TOYS as you do.
