Newbie of The Year Awards 2004 - Semifinal 1

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Moderators:Best First, spiderfrommars, IronHide

Indeed. Others may care for different things tho.

I do not recall when he said such a thing, I do not have photographic memory, and I did not read every single post he did. Feel free to quote me in any way you like.

Nor, just for the record, have I ever said that I agree with everything Ishin said/wrote/flamed, whatever, any more than I agree with everything, say Aaron Hong does, to take an example from the top of my head.

All the time. The only cure is colorating the Dark Ages, think I'll get right to that now.

He really did imply it. He considered Pat Lee's "style" of drawing one of the be-all's of manga-esque styles, and that by us not prefering Transformers with tiny heads, breasts, and legs the size of my, urm, the size of mountains (all in the same pictures) that since Pat Lee was asian, we were not only hating on Manga style but asians in general. ******* ridiculous.

He also believed The Swarm became the Vok. :no:

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

True. Though, we must point out that DW was indeed, a company composed mainly of asian writers/artists (Pat, Roger, Mad Brick, Joe Ng, Don). I've never seen Adam Patyk (of course, he and Brick were maybe like the Ventriloquist and Scarface).

He also believed The Swarm became the Vok. :no:
I never understand why people believe that...
:sheba:



So Unique Ron is like Ishin, Starscream G1 and that *** at Seibertron.. what's his name, you know, the one who prefers cartoon Grimlock over comic? :eek:

I have to say, though, that I hate comicbook Grimlock.

Cartoon Grimlock is hardly interesting, but at least he's likable, like the rest of the Dinobots.

Actually, comicbook Grimlock is cool at the end of the US run. But King G is worthless.

I remember now, Silverstreak was the name... Yes, weird phenomenons like him DO exist. He prefers cartoon Dinobots, as they were funny and comical. And he cringes at the thought that Grimlock could be smart...

That's wouldn't be a problem, but he's also a renowned flamer... Kingmob can tell you stories, I'm sure.

Could actually tell you more about Unique Ron, as could Redstreak, if it's the same one who was at seibs and who used 4 different alt-IDs during his time there.
