Characters no one likes?

Post by **Best First** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 7:44 am

Does anyone, ever, like Wheelie for example?

are there any oter characters that are universally disliked?

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 8:36 am

I don't mind Wheelie. Don't see what the problem is to be honest.

Then again, I can't think of a single TF I dislike. There's certainly a few human characters tho.

I will say Dreamwave put me off Sideswipe and Sunstreaker for a bit.

def agree on that one.

Didn't like fallen much.

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 9:30 am

I quite liked the Fallen.

I don't think there's much of a Fangry fan club, though I may be wrong...

Post by **Best First** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 9:37 am

I think B Shockers likes him.

Although he is, of course, wrong.

Firecons?

Firecons are gash.

All cartoon fans hate Bludgeon for some reason.

Anyway I, think that there's a great dislike for Rodimus Prime and Blurr.

KingMob · Post by **KingMob** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 10:10 am

What'd Blurr ever do wrong?

...wait, what'd Blurr ever do?

Rodimus Prime I don't mind, it's bloody wee Hot Rod that gets on my nelly.

Hmm. There are vocal fans for most of the characters normally crossed off as disliked.

Brawn is crap.

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 10:59 am

See, Hot Rod's another one that DW put me off.

They were quite good at that.

I think Wheelie is almost universally hated.

Starscream divides most Transfans, he`s like Marmite I guess.

Hmmm...I don`t think many people seem to have much love for Warpath or Seaspray. But then, they were really annoying.

Post by **Best First** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 12:37 pm

i like WP cos he was the first TF i ever owned. Plus niether were annoying in 'the comic'.

DW on the other jand, aka 'not the comic' made WP annoying again.

pattern emerging.

I like Seaspray. He was my first Minibot.

He blatantly doesn't count, though.

Fangry it is, then.

Hound · Post by **Hound** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 4:23 pm

g1 Tracks?

...actually, I quite like the way everyone hates him

Brawn was kind of annoying, but there were a few cartoon episodes where I found him enjoyable. I always love his pathetic death in the movie too.

Firecons get my vote.

Predabot · Post by **Predabot** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 4:47 pm

Hmm... tough one. I think we need to broaden our horizons a bit.

Autobot Pretender Waverider anyone? What does he ever do except stand around and being whiny, in the first battle with the Decep Pretenders, and then when I think it's him that finds Prime when he's having a master-seizure in the Ark?

I was gonna say Swindle that greedy little git! Or Runabout & Runamuck, those pesky goddamn punks! But then I realised that they are those kind of characters than one loves to hate. {shrugs} Hate-love I guess.

I don't have that much against Wheely, altho the voice is screaching at times. Cartoon-Outback, the autobot wich I first thought was british, but is indeed really AUSTRALIAN

(I guess the name would have been a lead..) is bloody annoying too.

Hound · Post by **Hound** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 5:59 pm

I think the character no one likes is Predabot

WINNAH.

...I liked Tracks.

Don't have a problem with Seaspray or Warpath either. Quite liked Seaspray tbh, I think I used to have some sort of adventure book with him, Beachcomber and maybe somebody else in it that I liked when I was a kid...

Sunstorm is just terrible in every way.
And yet has fans.

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 9:27 am

Waverider has a cool robot mode. I have plans for that character...

Post by **Best First** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 3:23 pm

I like Micro's hey were cool toys. Esp Flak and Mudslinger.

Agree about Waverider. Shame he got obliterated by an eyebeam.

And utterly agree about Sunstorm. He is a bell.

BB Shockwave · Post by **BB Shockwave** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 6:43 pm

Why do I don't count about Fangry?

Ok, he lost every fight he started, but Andy Wildman did drew him so well!!!

And, stone me to death, I like Firecons... Sparkstalker was my first 'real' Decepticon toy, the others were only Micromasters. And they were quite funny in the "Enemy Action" where they had the brains not to transform...otherwise the Sparkabots would have died laughing.

I don't like Grimlock, in a way. It's not the character, it's how he has to be bad-ass and ALWAYS be right after doing something stupid. After seeing him b***-slapped by Jhiaxus in G2, I have forgiven him, though.

Waverider was well, helpful. You gotta give him that.

Sunstorm, worst and most pointless character ever. And he got 6 bloody issues to babble about some nonsense...

Micros are cool, yup. Flak's scene with the Con guard, it's a classic!!!

Mad Brick almost made me hate Shockwave, my favourite character. So you can see why I hate him. I mean,Mick, of course.

Wheelie was quite funny and OK in Space Pirates, he was annoying in the cartoon,and he was a royal pain in the hindplate in the old dubbed Headmasters version. He HAD to be in every episode,dammit!!!

Does Daniel count as a TF? He did transform in the movie... If so, I hate him the most. Furman was wise not to give him any lines even in his first and only appearance in Time Wars!

So that's how the Sparklers and Triggerbots ended up in Decepticon custody for Cash and Car-nage.

He did have lines mate. He blathered on about the Earth being the only home he's got. Cue violins.

cue violence, surely?

Post by **spiderfrommars** » Wed Sep 28, 2005 10:59 am

You mean you don't think he's cute?

Seriously tho, Blurr was a bit of a **** to abandon him on Junk in the movie. "Youcandoityoucandoit" etc... what if he couldn't do it??

Post by **Best First** » Wed Sep 28, 2005 11:28 am

surely Blur was just pandering to the fandom?

If anything, 13 and Think Tank were more pandering to themselves.

After The Great Escape? It's difficult to think of a more indulgent album...

Think Tank ruled.

13... not so much.

Ah, but the people loved it. For some reason. God knows why.

Graham Coxon hated it at the time, and I think Damon goes to great lengths to distance himself from the whole phase nowadays.

I could probably think of a more self indulgent [non Blur] album. But I can't be arsed. Be Here Now?

That's pretty bad. I found the CD in the street, and despite being scratched to buggery, I got a perfect set of mp3s off it. Now I dread it coming on random since some of the tracks are like 20 minutes long...

and my topic is... where exactly?
