    You do.

    I see you encourage a lot of the radicons.

    It means a lot to be honest.

    I see you there most of the time. :)

    Fanart, fanfic, reviews, and a funny.

    They're all awful, but I like doing them so whatever.

    I don't.

    I am a parasitic wart upon the belly of the fandom.

    I bring joy to the world because I have such a beautiful ass.

    Plus, my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.

    Beyond that, just buying toys, I guess. And posting here. Although if it's with regards to vaguely notable stuff then I've contributed a handful of photos and scans to blogs and reviews. A few of my scans are in the TF Classics UK Vol 4 book.

    I also got a letter printed in the old UK Marvel Transformers comic. :) 

    I'm everywhere. I'm a ghost in the machine, an assassin in your attic, that nasty rash you visited your doctor about.

    Or as Moss would put it:

    Wow, OP forgot to put "whining useless garbage" as an option :D 
    Just joking, but in serious terms I buy the figures and create my own universe with them.

    I write way too many fanfictions, I draw extremely cartoony TFs, and I give my oppinion on things every here and there, I plan on having a photocomic in the future, and I distract people by bringing threads off topic with discussions of my post count, commas, and habit of calling myself a duck,

    I used to make a photocomic in the Funnies, but that was over a decade ago.

    :(  I only have one Transformer left. I can't make a new comic with just one.

    You could have him making witty observations about his environment. Like a solo stand-up comedian.

    Maybe he travels alone from place to place making new friends with other beings of a different species and helping solve their problems before moving on.

    The Littlest Robo.

    A'la:

    The Littlest Hobo

    Damn that catchy theme song...

    For the first few strips, maybe. But it'd get boring afterwards.

    Besides, it's been a long time since I've made any Funnies. The Funnies I see now are way different than the ones I used to read back then.

    I create and draw shitty fan characters. I've gotten better about not posting them online though. I've learned to do the right thing and l keep my horrible mary-sues and bad art to myself. :3

    Reading the comic books (MTMTE), watching the movies and shows followed by a little bit of collecting.

    So many memories; so many hours in MS Paint and Paint Shop Pro making those comics. :(

    I have some satirical fan fictions that are not meant to be taken seriously, as in general I don't like reading or writing serious fan fictions too much. Not that there aren't any good serious fan fictions.
    I really like your fan fic for what it's worth Coffee. I think it's pretty good, and I tend to understate positive things, too.
    Your humor is appreciated as always GingerChris.
