WHY DOES HASBRO AND TAKARA MISTAKENLY NAME THE TRANSFORMERS CHARACHTERS?

Recommended Posts

Dude, don't equate making up your own TF canon to messing with reality, 'cause Transformers are fictional characters.

Fictional Characters are still defined by Facts and Fallacies, It is a fact that Shurlock Holmes plays the violin, it is a fact that Darth Vader used to be a pod-racing prodigy. Denying facts about anything, fictional or real is immature and inane.

You must've had a real hard time with all the people who called (Energon/Alternators) Shockblast "Shockwave", then.

Real people are one thing. Dick "The Dickster" Cheney is a human being that can think for himself. The $20 piece of plastic on my shelf to my left was officially called "Jetfire" in the Classics line, but I call it 'Skyfire' or 'Jetfire' as I see fit.

 

And it is NOT a "fact" that Sherlock Holmes played the violin. It is NOT a "fact" that Darth Vader was a podracer prodigy.

It is a FACT that Sherlock Holmes was WRITTEN to play the violin. It is a FACT that Darth Vader was (re-)WRITTEN to be a podracer prodigy. And does that stop people from, say, writing fanfiction where Anikin hated podracing and wanted to be a master chess player, or where Buffy the Vampire Slayer was really his mother? No.

 

If I want to say that my second LOC Starscream is "Turbocheezwhiz", Starscream's younger, dumber brother, I will. If someone asks "What toy is that?" I'll say "It's the LOC Starscream from the Cybertron line, but I jokingly call him 'Turbocheezwhiz'." Ifsomeone asks me what the larger red and white jet is, I'll say "Classics Jetfire". But that Classics Jetfire has seen use as a golem in a game of AD&D, as an F-14 in a game of D20 Modern, and as something to mess around with when I get bored.

 

Yannow, many of these fan modes (like the 'ship' mode for the Scrapmetals) aren't offical. They never turned into a ship in the show. THEY'RE NOT FACTS! THEY'RE NOT ACCURATE! NOTHING THAT ISN'T CANON! ALLES IN ORDNUNG!

My oh my. What a dumb, dumb thread.

 

Why on Earth does it matter? Do you lack imagination? If so, get one. Rename them for your own personal collection.

 

Geez Louise.

Imagination is cheating.

 

 

 

Um...yeah, you're an idiot. Plain and simple. It must suck to be you, never dreaming, never enjoying the realm of fantasy. Considering you think "Imagination is cheating", you really shouldn't be involved with anything that has to do with Sci-Fi. Ridiculous.

Ignoring facts=/=creativity

 

Fantasy is fine and all, but fans should not alter official canon.

 

Fans are allowed to alter official canon for themselves, in their own personal lives. Their repaints, remolds, and fanfics do NOT interfere with the lives of others, nor does it cut into HasTak's profits.

 

If you can honestly sit there and tell me that you'd like to deny people the right to view things the way they wish to, then you truly do disgust me. And you will have proven to me that you're inhuman and incapable of sensible (and logical) thought.

 

Sonny boy, I don't know who taught you to be such a prick, but you're goin' up against some of the best minds here, we'll mop you up and wring you out into a bucket of Blot, and flush you, all in one nice sweeping move.

 

So if you're going to be productive and add to the community, do so. If not, then STFU and get the hell out of here.

 

Who the hell do you think you are? And do you really think a person renaming a figure in their collection is changing official canon for everyone? Seriously? Are you that devoid of a grasp of reality?

 

....I just want to pour Drano on my brain to erase the bullBlot you just spewed. UGH!

You know that Vice President guy, Dick Chieny? I don't think that name fits him. I like to call him Werno Von Krugermiester instead. In my personal canon he is a former Nazi who extended his lifespan via Bionics. Oh and his heart was replaced by a solid chunk of Kryptonite! :thumb

 

 

But see...that's your right to call him whatever and think however you want about him. But if it's alright for you, it's alright for us. I just realized, it's not that you can't see my point, you're not willing to see it. A very big, and super closeminded difference. For a moment I thought of you as inept and incapable of seeing a point. Nothing wrong with that exactly, many people aren't as sharp as they need to be. You however, choose to be adamant and offensive and must push your own agenda over everyone else's. That's where you cross the line, and you're younger than 90% of us, thus you owe us respect as your elders, and you don't do that either. So you've really crossed the line.

 

Your parents would be disgusted to know that their child is a monster, full of hate and bigotry. (Bigotry of the mind and it's capabilities...which if not checked could lead into other forms.) You should be ashamed of yourself, and everyone that calls you friend should be disgusted.

 

Fictional Characters are still defined by Facts and Fallacies, It is a fact that Shurlock Holmes plays the violin, it is a fact that Darth Vader used to be a pod-racing prodigy. Denying facts about anything, fictional or real is immature and inane.

 

1.) It's Sherlock Holmes. (if you're going to use a fact, at least spellcheck the damn thing.)

 

2.) Fiction is defined by facts and fallacies to a point, but it breaks those bonds on many occasions to fully embrace what it is. Fiction, a falsehood, not entirely based in reality, etc. Without going out of those bounds, we wouldn't have TransFormers. Optimus Prime and crew popped up from imagination and Science Fiction. They do not exist in our reality in any form other than audio/video, comic, and toys. Those are inanimate objects, not living things. You can enjoy them because of a lapse of reality's hold on you, you don't have to be in reality all the time. If that were the case, this would be one boring, sad world. No progression would come of it. Dreamers got us to the stars, and to the moon. If they hadn't, we'd still be wondering what those little flashes of light are, in the night sky. (Stars, boy, follow the train of thought, it's rooted in reality.)

 

3.) Denying "facts" about something fictional or real is part of imagination and thinking outside the box. Denying facts about fiction is not only part of grasping onto your imaginative capabilities, but also...IT'S NORMAL! If you adhered to the "facts" in fiction...you'd be one confused and lost person, because the real world and the fictional world may have ties to one another, but they are entirely different universes. Plain and simple.

 

The fact that you get none of this, or are unwilling to....makes you a lost cause, and proves to me that you're far more exasperating than I first thought.

 

Get the stick out of your ass, embrace your imagination, and your freedom to create, but most of all...do not take away that right from others. This is the United States Of America (and anywhere else in the world, your inner thoughts are your's and no law can take that from you, it's what you do with them that becomes dangerous, or unlawful.) and we're entitled to this right, so are you.

 

I think part of it is that you're trying to be impressive, or trying to be as knowledgeable as M Sipher (Which no one should attain to, you don't want to grow up to be an immature Afterburner with no life and a rude disposition....) but you're failing miserably with your "I'm right, you're wrong, Powerglide you" attitude.

 

.....seriously, pull the stick out of your ass.

1) convoy : prime :: dick cheney : the great white hunter =/= 'Werno Von Krugermiester' but thats your canon and that made me :tflol

2) hence the phrase 'x-bob'd' because x-bob hasn't believed in spellcheck for long as i've been on TFans

3) this thread made my day, i couldn't help but :tfrofl through the whole thing :tfevil

My oh my. What a dumb, dumb thread.

That's what I was going to say! I haven't been posting here for a few months, and it's good to see that upon my return, X-Bob is still pissing people off. Good thing it's the internet, no one would take all this grief from some kid in the really, real world. X-Bob's special charm is described in the following image:
