Consider yourself warned, Proto!!

We could also include "Forgotten Transformations" with the topic. Like TM Rhinox's infamous Snowmobile mode that was cleverly hidden when the toy was re-released.

Don't forget about some repackaged Mini-cons that made it to the universe line never showed how to turn them into weapons such as Terradive and Thunderwing (turned into claws and a throwing star) and Prowl and Firebot (gun and missile pack). Theres more that I know of but just can't think of off the top of my head at this moment (I think they kept out siege mode where the cannon comes out of mammoth Nemesis Prime's head too).

That siege mode was included in the Nemesis Prime's instruction manual.

It would be nice if there were fan-panels relating to the whole "mecha" theme Transformers has going.
i.e., anime/Gundam panel (or general TV-mecha panel).. or Off-Topic panels (fan-run) - do you guys do that?

I'm a fan of anything that transforms, really :P

I think MST3K is different from "hatin'."

Parody should poke fun at something in a gentle way, not because you hate it or think it's stupid, but because sometimes it's fun to laugh at your own silliness (let's face it, some of G1 Megatron's plans were way over the top). Parodies are enjoyed the most by people who are familiar with the original work, after all.

I wouldn't want to go to a panel that was only about bashing, pointing out flaws, or complaining, but something with a funny parody would be a good laugh.
