    I sure do. I'll draw any of my sexy female characters in seductive poses in exchange for one meal at Taco Bell. And for a limited time only (i.e. forever) I'll throw in my dignity for free.

    thanks now all I need to achieve is that level of controversy that just the sight of my name divides the fanbase into a troll fight

    Is it even legal for the guy to sell shirts? I mean,can some dude just draw Optimus Prime on something and sell it? I guess it counts as parody,but in the case of the poster,there isn't a joke,it's just Transformers drawn cuter than normal. How's that a parody?

    Llamatron should be the new Lil' Formers artist,since his comic was actually funny. And it was illustrated better.

    There is more to Fair Use laws than just parody. And there's significant difference between using Dreamwave art, the rights to which are owned by Hasbro (IIRC), and art he made himself.

    I happen to like Matt's work... although since it's not really front paged anymore, I haven't read it in a while (really made it much easier for lazy people like myself).

    And I have no idea who this David Willis guy is... guess I'm not cool enough to know his awesomeness.

    And Matt, remember... You're nobody 'till somebody hates you. Guess you're really somebody now!

    Some people really need to grow up and stop being such babies.

    You don't like Lil Formers?
    Fine, that's your choice, but to continually moan about it is pathetic.

    You know what I do when something parodies something I like.
    I shrug it off and get on with my life.

    Some of you get far too butthurt about the littlest of things.

    I just don't like it because he ruins potentially good punchlines with straw man arguments.

    The ever infamous Prime strip COULD have had potential to be funny as the various Primes cover flaws in their respective stories... but in the end, it simply becomes movie hate and "animated's animation sure does suck" rather than mocking of the CHARACTER.

    I mean Primal's big joke was that he wasn't "Prime". Could have easily been a joke about how Optimal Optimus never got to do anything cool after its first apperance, or how his crew didn't listen to him at first, or even just "Beast Machines? Never happened."

    Eh. Whatever. I personally don't find Lilformers very funny, but cut and paste web comics rarely do it for me.

    Great poster, Matt.

    Will you have a table at Botcon, or are you just going as a fan?

    True. Very true. Even Matt has fallen for that.

    I think you're getting your wikis confused ... not that I find tfwiki's snark funny per se.

    QFT!

    The last episode of Animated I watched was the first one. I didn't like it.
    I have no idea who David Willis is,either.
    How does that make me or any other non-fan of the strip automatically a troll? It's just not a very funny comic strip. It's not even really unfunny enough to be notable,since the internet is practically drowning in poorly drawn webcomics and lame jokes about 80's pop culture as it is,without one more piling on.
