And so the fandom has faced the end of tfw2005.com´s Orson´s World (also known as "Aaron Archer," Hasbro´s head designer of the Transformers. Apparently fan reactions are all over the board. Part of me agrees with Hasbro´s decision while another part of me is bummed the head TF designer won´t be interacting as much with our fandom. Below is the quote from Aaron Archer:

"Because of a sour grape email from another TFormers site about me posting here to my PR dept. I will NO longer be able to answer or comment on TF´s on this or any site. All my comments will now have to come through Hasbro channels from me but through a more formal process.
"I am sorry for this, I had a great time helping the fandom with minor issues but it seems that it has taken away from our unified efforts to spread Transformers information out to all at the same time. I realize this means that there will be a larger delay in the true facts getting to you, and that small unique questions will probably not get answered until the summer conventions. For this I am sorry...
"I am asking the 2005 board to remove all Orson posts as soon as possible.
"Thank you for your support, we have a great year and more ahead of us on this great brand I thank you for your continued interest and support."
