deganawida Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 All right, what's up with all the Transformer stuff going around? In the last 24 hours I've seen Devastator and the Autobot and Decepticon emblems in people's signature. Don't make me break out my Snake-Eyes avatar and have a G.I.Joe vs. Transformers avatar/image/signature battle with y'all! Well, it's either that or I break out an Ultra Magnus avatar and join the fun. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkan Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Boo urns. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepixiesrock Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I weep also... Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

Transformers are just cooler to look at. When it comes to the show, I prefer GI Joe. Though I do find it funny that 3 joes can take on 50 or 60 Cobra troops.

Azure79 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Oh man, do I have fond memories of GI Joe and Transformers and Voltron. Some random memories are 1. I remember almost pissing my pants in excitement when the Aerial Bots were introduced. They look like awesome fighter planes! And the combine into a huge robot!(I forget the name, but remember he had this high screeching voice) Correct me of I'm wrong, but Optimus Prime created the Aerial Bots to combat the evil car Decepticons right? And the leader of the Aerial Bots was afraid of heights right? I actually pissed myself in excitement one of my friends actually got the entire Aerial Bot set for Christmas...lucky bastard. 2. The coolest GI Joe I can remember is Snake Eyes and Stormshadow. Probably because they were both ninjas which are automatically cool. Out of curiosity Stormshadow was originally a member of Cobra, but then I remember all of the sudden his outfit changed from white to white and grey and he was classified as a member of GI Joe. What's up with that? I never did find out. 3. Ahh, voltron. As the five tigers they usually got their butts kicked by whatever new evil robotic menace the evil overgrown smurfs had built. But when they combined into Voltron and formed the BLAZING SWORD, they were toast. I remember thinking to myself, Evil Robots! Attack when Voltron is combining! He takes virtually forever, why don't you attack? I got my answer one day when one of the evil robots DID attack! Ha! The evil robot was struck back by the immensely powerful electrical field that surrounded Voltron, keeping him from harm! I should have known! Two questions, I have a vague memory that the original pilot of Blue Lion was not the Princess but someone else....anyone know? Also there was another Voltron too. Not nearly as cool as the Lion Voltron. Is this a Voltron from another time or what? On the other side of the Galaxy Voltron? Heh. Thanks for the great nostalgia trip people.

Incidently, Jetfire was the first flying Autobot (and one of my all-time faves). He was called Skyfire in the cartoons, and was a pacifist instead of the warrior-scientist of the toy. Jetfire was a repaint of some Robotech toy, as well. 2. Tommy Arishikage, aka Storm Shadow, joined Cobra after being framed for the death of the Hard Master of the Arishikage ninja clan. He originally went under to find the true killer, who was Zartan, but ended up being mind-controlled. When freed, he did join the Joes to help his sword-brother, Snake-Eyes (whose name is never revealed, BTW), and trained Cobra Commander's son Billy in the Arishikage ways.

Is there a way I can somehow watch those old cartoons. That would be awesome. Just a day watching old GI Joe and Transformer cartoons, eating cereal until I'm sick. I would buy the DVDs if they have them, hmm I'll go check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deganawida Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 They are releasing them on DVDs. These are the uncensored ones from the early 80s. Most of this info, though, you won't find in the cartoons. I would recommend hunting for the G.I.Joe comics written by Larry Hama and published by Marvel Comics (you can get them all pretty cheap), and picking up with the new series by Devil's Due Comics. The Joe comics were a lot better than the cartoons, and I enjoyed the cartoons (heck, I have the first two movies on special edition DVDs).

Azure79 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Thanks for the info deganawida. I do remember reading some Joe comics when I was in middle school. I was at a party and discovered my friend had this entire box full of them. So instead of partying I secluded myself from everyone and spent the entire day reading them. Needless to say I was quickly pointed out as a nerd who would rather read comics than party but school popularity be damned, those comics were fun. I remember them being quite visceral, with people actually get hit by the guns and dying! Something the cartoons didn't show. I'm gonna have to check them out again.
