They've got the time and resources for this pointless shit but not getting the forums up? Or new fiction? Or any new content for their useless site? I've defended these guys for the longest time but I am over being spoon fed this garbage. Especially when the forums and fiction have been gone for several months, a year, more? Give us what we're paying for! It can not be that difficult to get a proper discussion forum up and running properly in the year 2013. I'd be a little more lenient on this if we were getting what we should be too.

I know you mean the text stories, but how do the comics not count as new club fiction?

I haven't been brave enough to renew my TFCC membership since the whole credit card fiasco a few years ago.

You're picking nits and you even say so much. By comics you mean the 36 pages we get per year? Sure it's new fiction. You knew what I was referring to though. We can't even access the old prose either.

I wouldn't mind getting a read off of them too. There are no comic book stores I know of in my area, so it's rare when I get the chance to read comics.

Throw in the War for Cybertron comic too. I've finally read Exodus a couple years back, and I've keep forgetting to ask you about them. Yes, my memory is the size of a Mini-Con.

I appreciate the offer but no, thank you. We bug them every year about collecting them in physical form at Botcon. I have my fingers crossed we get a more positive answer this year. Otherwise, I might take you up on it.

I still can't get over the fact he played different characters in the movies, when he is in the military on both cases. Daft or what?

Well, just keep thinking of how Colonel Sharp was killed in action by Blackout, while General Morshower lives on. ;)
