Ah I love Wizard

Phishy		2001-11-09 12:11:05 AM

This guy is good, but never underestimate optimus prime, he's still the king.

XanthPrime		2001-11-09 12:13:27 AM

Some people have way too much time on thier hands.

This comment is from a guy with way too much time on his hands.

Boppsta		2001-11-09 12:22:11 AM

i was gonna type something but it was more or less word for word what phishy said.
sooo. yea what he said.

ArmyOfFun		2001-11-09 12:23:03 AM

Its funny, because on the page it says real big "WINNER"

I can't think of any better way to put it.

Code_Archeologist		2001-11-09 12:25:46 AM

Yeah that is one of the guys that I see at Cons who I ask, "Do you still live in your parent's basement? Have you ever even kissed a girl?"

Wraith		2001-11-09 12:26:52 AM

hahaha someone! quick! get the padlocks!

Korzeniowski		2001-11-09 12:41:49 AM

Hey, FARK has run this before.. or maybe it was Memepool...

Korzeniowski		2001-11-09 12:43:11 AM

Code_Archeologist, why were you at the cons?

HollywoodNorth		2001-11-09 12:47:14 AM

anyone got a link to the pic of optimus prime?

Fooshnik		2001-11-09 12:49:39 AM

Uh, okay, that's actually kinda disturbing.

Are there any other collectors on Fark?

I have most of 1st and 2nd gen, some Diaclones and other pre-Transformers on my shelves above my computers. These toys rock. These and Voltron, Macross and other Popy toys still 0wn all after 20-25 years. They just don't make them like they used to.

HollywoodNorth		2001-11-09 12:52:44 AM

I have a starscream and a soundwave on my bookshelf and 1 shockwave transformer with the box that i am gonna sel on ebay. Unless someone here makes me a good offer.

Wintermute		2001-11-09 12:57:52 AM

Laff.

Nanookanano		2001-11-09 01:07:14 AM

Wow! Full contact origami!

ghost_who_walks		2001-11-09 01:12:49 AM

Bwaaaahahahahahahahah!!!!
"Full contact origami!"
That just cracks me up

(I'll be laughing all day at that one...thanx :-)

Here's the original optimus prime guy:

"Damn kids put a potato in my tail pipe again!"

BroadwaY		2001-11-09 01:50:13 AM

strike one

I want one anyway.. (costume, not potato)

MisterSym		2001-11-09 01:57:50 AM

All I can say is....

Those wacky Japs....they're always great for entertainment!

nodhg		2001-11-09 03:45:12 AM

If you think about it, that's very creative, and he could haul in a shiatload of cabbage finding a way to produce alot of those and marketing them well. Me, I'm sellin' Future Man costumes next year.

Locoz		2001-11-09 03:46:33 AM

Sweet... sweet... suhweeeeet! But for some reason, I only saw it an hour ago, yet I don't feel full. Go figure.

L/Z

K		2001-11-09 04:24:20 AM

everclear75		2001-11-09 04:38:33 AM

Fanboys of the world unite!! There is a new cause for

Nanookanano: Full contact origami!

That's pure poetry, man! I tip my hat to you (which transforms into a wok or something...)

I don't know what to make of this guy. On the one hand, I think the obvious: "You need to get a life, dude!" I mean, a 29-year-old man spent a year on emulating a cartoon meant for kiddies?

On the other hand, I really have to hand to him: I don't think I could have done it. I think I have good spacial visualization, but not to that extent. I'm impressed that he made it all work so well.

I'm not entirely clear on the back-story behind the Transformers. As best I can figure it out, sometimes they want to be death-dealing robots, but sometimes they want to look like a Hyundai. What's that all about?

But I suppose there's weirder stuff out there. I briefly watched a show where you have robots that transform into animals. The big question that pops into my mind is "WHY!?!?"

I shouldn't scoff, however. When I was a young tad, I used to watch ... ooo, I can hardly bring myself to admit this ... Rocket Robin Hood. With the possible exception of "The Mighty Hercules", RRH has got to be the very worst show in animation history for its sheer repetitiveness and lack of logic. Moreover, the animation was only slightly better than "Space Angel" or "Clutch Cargo" -- have any of you experienced those abominations?

krumlov		2001-11-09 05:45:20 AM

"Herc! Herc!"

krumlov		2001-11-09 05:57:21 AM

Alterian		2001-11-09 08:02:09 AM

I submitted this over a week ago! How come I didn't get credit! ::shakes fist angrily at sky::

Flamebait		2001-11-09 08:42:13 AM

That guy is my HERO. Amazing.

Curious		2001-11-09 08:42:38 AM

Nanookanano: Full contact origami!

others have said it but it bears repeating -- great phrase -

Rasputin		2001-11-09 08:54:50 AM

That is the most amazing thing I've ever seen!

creeto		2001-11-09 08:56:24 AM

Now show us the ten Lara Crofts!

Snicker901		2001-11-09 08:56:36 AM

I'll second that sentiment, Rasputin.

Alterian		2001-11-09 08:57:35 AM

hmm....what sort of person would pick a name like rasputin? ::raises eyebrow::

WorldCitizen		2001-11-09 09:04:35 AM

Damn...that's scary...yet cool.
Yes, I had most of the original Transformers. I think I still have quite a few of them in a box back at my parents' house.

dareker69		2001-11-09 09:10:09 AM

that guys a homo!

WorldCitizen		2001-11-09 09:12:33 AM

Ah, but a cool homo.

Some Guy		2001-11-09 09:19:39 AM

This just in: After this was submitted, the various fandoms were re-evaluated based on the Parent's Basement/Kissed a Girl algorythm. Here are the new standings, for the 10 least socially acceptable fan groups:

10. Star Wars Fans
9. Anime Fans
8. Star Trek Fans
7. Comic Book Fans
6. Highlander Fans
5. Disney Animation Fans
4. Dr. Who Fans
3. Pokemon/Digimon Fans
2. Furry Fans

and the new #1
Transformers Fans

(PS: If you're thinking of flaming me for this sad little joke because I bashed your fandom, you may qualify to join a group even lower in this list than your current fan group. "You can do it! Get the power-up and win the game!" - Cliff Yablonski)

roXet		2001-11-09 09:25:42 AM

damn some guy, you just trampled my self esteem because I'm a member of about 5 of those groups.

Alterian		2001-11-09 09:29:55 AM

w00t! Only a member of 4!

Alterian		2001-11-09 09:30:37 AM

maybe thats why I've never kissed a girl...

either that or I just don't like girls in that way =P

WorldCitizen		2001-11-09 09:33:38 AM

Ah, I'm only at 4 as well...

Some Guy		2001-11-09 09:42:13 AM

Not to worry. The list only applies to hard-core fans. I'm not even sure it's possible to be a member of more than one on the hard-core level without your fan-dogma getting in the way. :)

Droz		2001-11-09 09:46:33 AM

W00t! We're #1!!!!!!

(Some Guy)		2001-11-09 10:29:35 AM

Some Guy?
(Someguy)?

British		2001-11-09 10:33:29 AM

fumanshu		2001-11-09 10:34:54 AM

Put me in the loser pile, I've been to 5 Botcons (national Transformers convention),I have over 300 Transformers, BUT I live on my own and have kissed many girls, so...what the hell does that make me?

WorldCitizen		2001-11-09 10:47:12 AM

OK, so I'm not a hard-core fan of any of those. I don't belong to any fanclubs, nor have I been to any gatherings. I guess that just makes me a mild dork. I'm completely OK with that.
