Godzilla movie in the works? Star Wars live action show too

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.

Firecons are awesome.

Fangry, on the other hand, is my number 1 most hated Transformer in the history of Transformers.

Logic and statistics indicate I'm more likely to be mugged or killed in such a neighborhood. So if I say to someone, which I often do, "don't go that way, it's a black neighborhood", am I a racist? I really don't think so.
Errr, nope. That's racist. If nothing else if you're trying to warn people off going into a bad neighbourhood the pertinant information is "It's a bad neighbourhood". The colour of whoever's going to be stabbing/stomping/pimping doesn't really matter. I mean, if you were talking to your black friend and trying to warn him off a dangerous place would you really go "it's a black neighbourhood"?

Don't go there; it's a dangerous neighborhood. = not racist

Yeah. That makes sense.

Why? Apart from being a constant punching bag for Grimlock, he never did anything Drift-like to deserve that...

Taste, mainly.

Er... I've been hating Fangry for so long it's a recurrent joke and I may have forgotten why.

Oh, wait... I remember.

He's a try-too-hard "look-at-me-I'm-a-rebel" Fuzor-before-there-were-Fuzors who salivates (which is never permissable) and appeared out of nowhere with a massive chip on his shoulder and a stupid name. He committed the cardinal sin of talking back to Bludgeon and couldn't even die properly.

Annoying and unkillable - it's a dangerous combination.
