Well we all know that Gundam is better than both GI Joe and Tansformers put together. Well actually almost all Japanime is better than American made crap. tongue.gif:

 

Good point ^^^, transformers wasnt jap?

 

i never was into Gi Joe, i never even saw any in my life.

 

Transformers was orginally created by the Japanese and somehow (I forgot why or how) Hasbro picked it up.

 

Originally I think it was. But I dont remember the original name of it. But same as Gundam, I cant stand the american version of the Gundam series. All of the anime I watch is in Jap with Eng subtitles because when we mess with them we make the series very "americanized" and mor pushed towards kids than adults.

 

heh heh, yeah, I'm a transformer fan. I have a LOT of transformers, mainly from the 80's (the ones they're re-releasing as classics now). Beast wars rocked, especially in the later seasons. Beast Machines was good, but tried (unsuccessfully) to be too deep. The newest cartoons just suck.

The book "Transformers: The Ultimate Guide" by Simon Furman, is just about the coolest Transformer book I've found. It covers everything from the origin of the toys and cartoons all through the Dreamwave comics, and what the future of the TF universe holds. It even picks out the contradictions that have arised over the series.



a lot of the new toys have been pretty crappy, but I think they're starting to do better. The new "Alternators" (Binaltech in Japan), here's a link http://www.jrstoyworld.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=31.
Grimlock looks awesome as a 2005 Mustang.
Found this gallery of some of the new models.

 

Whoever did that tatoo sure did a good job of getting the details right on that insignia.

 

Ive never seen such dedication towards a cartoon. Much respect.

 

That's definate dedication..bet it was very painful too.

 

Thanks, it took 2 sessions to finish it, and didn't hurt that bad at all. If I get some more extra cash, I'd like to put some outer space surrounding it going up my neck and over my shoulders. Why? Transformers represent so many things that I love, Childhood memories, Toys, Cartoons, Cars, the ingenious-ness of how they transform, the incredible artwork of the Dreamwave comics... the only things lacking are hot chicks, but my fiance fills that void nicely.
