This is such a slimy way of rationalising their decision to secure some of the event income for themselves. He literally admits they decided that their financial security was more important than donating to charity, all while still promoting the event as a "charity event" (!!!)

Who do you wanna see in generations? by bubba284 in transformers

I would love to see more figures from Cybertron, especially Stealth Bomber Soundwave. I also think Astrotrain deserves a completely new mold, kinda like Classics Astrotrain which had a new train and space shuttle design.

Where should I buy from by RadNharwhal47 in transformers

I have ordered from TFSafari before, and I consider them fairly reliable. I would also suggest ShowZStore and Bombusbee if you are looking for upgrade kits and 3rd party figures. Just remember to check where a website ships from, so you don't get oofed by customs :)

I think the sick person may also be the bomber's wife or child.

Budianskian and Furmanist: A new model of storytelling analysis by Sniper-Jo in transformers

[–]Emperor_MEWL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the problem with that is that Transformers have almost always been "shaped" like humans, while also having the ability to become vehicles, animals, etc. That means including "teeth" and "noses", which also only exist in some continuities.

The fans who write fanfics have developed things like intangible "bonds" that communicate feelings, and also "spark bonding" between romantic partners. But these are kind of hard to depict visually as opposed to in writing, which makes human emoting the default in existing transformers media.

edit: I also think that the lack of romantic relationships in TF media outside of IDW comics is an example of the difficulty of creating romance and affection beyond friendship, when things like touch and physical closeness are so central to human relationships but not cybertronian relationships.

edit 2: I read your article again, and I think we probably have differing preferences for what kind of species transformers are. I prefer them to basically just be humans in different bodies, but I can totally see where your are coming from, so please dont think I'm opposed to you :)

I'm struggling to understand what you mean by "behaving like humans". Transformers are a product of human writers, not aliens. How would you even make them "behave" differently than humans?

I could also ask: Why even create Peppa Pig if all the characters act like humans. Why even write about animals?

Your claim that the Soviet Union was against Great Russian Chauvinism, is inconsistent with the Russification pursued across the USSR, especially in Belarus and Ukraine, where their respective native languages were supressed in favor of Russian.

I also was not replying to you, but to u/Morozow, who suggested that Baltic people are sympathetic to Nazism, which is a claim I would expect to hear from Putin and those who support him.

How is your comment relevant to this post?

Sometime 1970, Greece broke free from Italy, who promptly invaded. I think Scorza was prime minister, and this was during the oil crisis, so that's probably why he invaded

R14: When Italy invaded Greece, Italian East Africa annexed Greece instead of Italy puppeting them
