And then no one will notice or care ................ Erector made people give a damn about the Hall of Fame. Fans actually voted, made creative signatures, made banners, had passion about their favorite bots and Hasbro got creative on how to make a video for Erector.
I think for those that didn't know it was a joke, it must have just gone over their heads. BTW, see what I did there?
I honestly couldn't have cared less about the HoF prior to the nomination of Erector. Also, the only thing I cared about was actually getting Erector voted in. We've still seen little to nothing as a result of the HoF aside from toy displays at Botcon, slideshows at Botcon, videos at Botcon, and the voting process. I typically can't attend Botcon either, so that makes the whole thing matter even less. As far as Scourge goes, I want a repaint of the G2 RtS Prime into RiD Scourge and I want the name on the box to say "SCOURGE". Normally, I don't care, but this is my one exception. I would like to add that typically I post and try to do so to have my fun and still allow others to have theirs and that sort of thing. These items (namely Scourge) is quite a bit different for me, because I can see those who disagree with me basically being able to do what I do a lot of times and let others have their fun. If you wouldn't like your repaint of RtS Prime into Scourge to actually BE Scourge, that's cool. If you don't like the thraeds or the siggys, that's cool too. I'd like to ask that if you're able to deal and it's not a big deal to you, let some of us have our fun. You never know, there may come a time where YOU (a general address/no one specifically) want something really bad, and I may help out not because it's something I want, but just to be friendly
Erector was all over the place at Auto Assembly. Locustreign was leaving a trail of Erectors wherever he went.
He should probably see a doctor about that. And I hope someone was following behind him with a little plastic baggie and picking up his deposits. Civic responsibilty and all that.
Getting Erector in the Hall of Fame was just like getting Rory Fitzpatrick in the NHL All Star Game. What happened afterwards? They both disappeared. Now, since Erector is a toy, he has a greater chance of showing back up again than Rory Fitzpatrick.
Reddit? That aside, I think you'll find Erector still has his supporters. They might not be vocal, or a majority, but they do exist. That and people are waiting for the next silly character to rally behind. Discharge, Thrust, something like that.
I don't care what they call the theoretical RTS Prime Nemesis Prime/Scourge repaint. As for Erector, I think the whole campaign was fun but some people took it way too seriously. However, I would LOVE to have a new head for TRU 2007 Movie Mudflap so he can be a true CHUG Erector.
Remold of Energon Landmine in yellow. "Erectimus Prime." I'd comment on that one, but I'm pretty sure my computer activity is being monitored here.
I wonder if Venksta will do it if enough people are willing to support it. And with Venksta, we'd get more than a head. He'd have other goodies....
I'm honestly pretty disappointed that Hasbro evidently has no plans for an Erector in the movie line. Those micromaster-base style playsets would've been a perfect fit for him.
You mean the Cyberverse sets? Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea. I still want to see that damn nominee vid that was shown at Botcon.
Me too, though it seems we never will. I want Erector to show up in Prime, if just because: A) He apparently has a design and B) I feel like the writers of Prime are competent enough to explore a character like him; i.e. a bot that loves to build, and hates the war because of its stifling of art and creativity, and tries to fight in ways that prevent casualties on any side. That'd be neat.
Maybe, but I don't think the writers want to risk the fanbase tearing itself apart over more Erector crap.
True. Also, now that you mention it...what is it with yellow crane trucks being pacifistic artists? True dat.
