    I still have G1 Jetfire. Sadly all his accessories are missing... as are his arms. I blame kid brother for that one. Still sits on my desk though.

    Why is it here I see all the Transformers 2 love yet else where I'm hearing about people walkin out after 30 mins and stuff? A lot of mixed reviews it seems.

    @RonMaverick291: If you are now, or still are able to think like, a 10 year old who wants nothing but giant robots fighting each other and cute girls looking cute and gets excited when toys, I mean characters, you love get "upgrades" (think KITT at the beginning of every season), you will like Transformers 2... a lot. And I really mean all that in the best possible way.

    There was an episode of Doctor Who, where robot judges, called Justice Machines, declared an entire galaxy in contempt of court and then carried a sentence of death on it. I can't remember that episode title or all the details too well.


    Maybe the Justice Machines didn't kill an entire galaxy. Maybe they just fined all the inhabitants or something.

    I always wanted to get into 2000AD but I would have no clue where to start. I like the British take on comics but not they way they publish them.

    Do the reapers from Mass Effect count? Wiping out all sentient life every 50 thousand years seems pretty murderous.

    Just not the ones from the TV show. They're all idiots. Although the stealth ones are decent.

    @Sukigod: Just what I was thinking! They might have been ignored here because the Beserkers eschewed taking filthy anthropomorphic forms (usually).


    As cool as a Boris Vallejo image of a huge planet-killing ship would be, it goes against Graeme's meatbag prejudices.
