Transformers transforms. That's it.

Transformers costs too much money.

Transformers are for kids but in reality, only adults love them to the extent that we do.

Transformers, with the exception of a few series, has dumb cartoons that are in reality 30 minutes long toy commercial.

 

Transformers puts a strain on our environment via its production.

Transformers starts up dumb cults and fan groups. Not all are dumb, mind you.

Transformers are overhyped.

 

This thread was created to counter Bizzmoff's "I Love Transformers!" thread and may or may not reflect the actual opinions of its creator. Though I think some of those aforementioned points are valid.

I guess it's time for you to leave the fandom :wave

:pfx Yup, looks that way, don't it?

I hate transformers too! All they do is help to distribute and regulate electrical charges.

Transformers are toys that some people keep MISB.

All toy fandoms have that. In my observation Transfandom actually has a proportionately low ratio of MISB collectors compared to other toy collectable fandoms. Part of this reason is because Transformers transform - which is a significant appeal of the toys, and most collectors just want to open these toys and play with their transformations! It's so much fun! As a result, it's relatively a lot harder to find Transformers MISB than it is to find say Star Wars or MotU figures MOSC. MISB Transformers also tend to be more proportionately expensive than other MISB toys because they are harder to find sealed.

Transformers transforms. That's it.

That's only true for the early G1 series - which is ironically also the most popular. ;p

Transformers costs too much money.

...can't argue with that... ;p

But spending stimulates the economy!! :D

Transformers are for kids but in reality, only adults love them to the extent that we do.

Not really. I've always been a big fan of TFs even as a kid. I think I started displaying my TFs on shelves when I was 11 years old. I wrote my first fan-fic in 1985 - it was called "The Story of Frenzy." Oh yeah, and I also started keeping a database of my Transformers collection back then too... typed it up on my Commodore 64!

Hence why I've always been a greater fan of the comics. FURMAN'D!!

 

Transformers puts a strain on our environment via its production.

I used to try and collect my TF boxes, but they just take up so much freakin' room!! I only keep the ones I really like, but even then, it still takes up an obscene amount of room. I've had to throw out most of my packaging, BUT I always make sure that I dispose of all my TF packaging and inserts in the recycle bin!

 

And if there are any Transformers that I don't want, I will either keep hanging on to them, or try and sell/give them away. I've never thrown a Transformer into the garbarge before. If you must throw a toy away - that's right - in the recycle bin! (TFs are mostly made from ABS and PVC - recyclable plastics!)

Transformers starts up dumb cults and fan groups. Not all are dumb, mind you.

So does the Bible. What's your point?

Transformers are overhyped.

So is democracy in practice, what's your point? ;p
