Transformers Energon Marathon NOW!

[livius drusus]

Featuring two world premiere episodes starting at 2:00! On Cartoon Network! I finally get to see what all y'all have been nerdin' about.

LOL. Some large purple dude is "bored out of his mainframe" right now. Oh! It's Shockblast, and his mindless taunts don't bother the large red dude.

:autobot: :happy: :deceptic:


P.S. - It's pronounced ener-john? I thought it was ener-gone.

[livius drusus]

Um... Is Ironhide retarded?

Prior to the actually hearing it spoken aloud in the Ah-nold movies, I went around with the mindsound that it was Con-an the Barbarian instead of Co-nan.

That phenomenon needs a name...I wonder if there already is one.

[livius drusus]

I'm sure there is, but I can't for the life of me think of it. Meanwhile, Inferno is struggling with his inner Decepticon.

I know how he feels...especially with all this cold weather.

[livius drusus]

Huh. Weird. The Autobots won and the sun finally came out. Coincidence? I don't think so. :beady:

[HarryLime]

Energon? Isn't that the one where all of the cool giant robots of my youth scamper about mindlessly and call out their attacks as though they're metallic Pokemon? Blah. I'll stick to Generation 1, I think.

Oh. Erm. It's not the original? See, I kinda didn't know that. :blush2: They certainly seemed to talk a lot, but I don't have any specific recollection of anyone calling out an attack. The call out when they transform and unite and whatnot.

[HarryLime]

It's so funny that you've used an embarassed smiley while admitting that you're not incredibly well-versed in the realm of Transformers. You should probably take a great deal of pride in that fact. :)

Well ya know, I hate being totally pig ignant on a subject, especially when I've felt free to shoot my mouth off about it in the presence of crazy, crazy experts (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=23305#post23305). :wink:

[HarryLime]

Wow. Just wow. That's actually incredibly cool. But seriously, there's no shame in not being that well versed on TF. Actually, a good way to get up to speed is to just watch some of the original G1 episodes. That is, if you wanted to get up to speed. :megatron: They're out on DVD, and they, even when accounting for the rose colored glasses of my childhood, are excellent.

I'll drink to that. :tapbeer:

I remember a much cooler Megatron that could transform without blithering out "MEGATRON TRANSFORM!!" like a mechanical retard.

Yep. Agreed on this, too. I know that it's probably due to the fact that I grew up with the G1 shows, but they just seem so much more...mature than the new TF series out today.

I wish I had seen The God Gambit when it first aired, though...that might have led me on the path to atheism sooner.

I haven't seen any of the new stuff; no TV. I am planning to gradually collect all the old TV shows, but they cost real money.
