    You are not a true TF fan if you say "You are not a true TF fan if you say 'You are not a true TF fan if you say...'"

    You're not a true fan if you enjoy every series. 'True Fan' should complain about everything. :p

    You aren't a True fan unless you have watched clear through at least one entire Series (and not the English kind)

    You're not a true fan if you are not on a TF Forum.

    In Britain, Seasons are called Series for some reason.

    If you don't suspect that little yellow car is following you, you're not a true Transformers fan.

    I was a non online fan for quite a few years as I lived with my ex who hogged the internet and ridiculed my interest in it. In this time I did customs and got all my comics and info from my local comic book shops

    A true fan is passionate and cares deeply about the franchise, so I think you are not a true fan unless you have got carried away or emotional on ebay or a transformers fansite

    You're not a true TF fan unless you hate the Movieverse and take every opportunity to tell everyone so!

    This.

    There is no such thing as a "true fan". There are fans and there are not-fans. I've said it before and I'll say it again: What does it take to be considered a 'Transformers fan'? LIKING TRANSFORMERS. You don't have to enjoy the entire franchise, just anything to do with Transformers. Whether you only read the comics, or if you only collect the figures, if you're a staunch G1 fan, if you only like Bayformers, whatever.

    Only like Beast Wars? Still a fan.
    Animated and TFP is your bread and butter? Still a fan.
    Bayformers is the be-all and end-all of your Transformers knowledge? Still a fan.
    G1 is the Bible and should never be deviated from? Still a fan.
    Energon is your favourite series? Yep, still a fan.
    RID is the only thing worth watching? Still a fan.
    Comics are where it's at? Still a fan.
    Only in it for the toys? Still a fan.
    Heck, if you only like Kiss Players, you're still a fan (much to many people's chagrin). :p 

    So, in short, as TNS said, not being a Transformers fan merely means you don't like Transformers in any capacity.

    I agree that there's no such thing as a 'true fan.' That was the point of the thread, to make fun of the idea that you can't possibly be a proper fan unless whatever. You're a fan if you like transformers, end of.

    I love all the fake phony fans saying that there is no such thing as a true fan trying to deny the fact that they're only in for the fad. Pathetic. May Primus pit your soul because I will not. WRECK'N' RULE!

    *Shoots all the fake fans with the Matrix of Leadership* Light our darkest hour... ONE SHALL STAND AND ALL SHALL FALL! KAMEHAME HAAAAAAAAA!

    You're not a true fan if you make annoying ass, useless threads about "Transformers having implants", "liking a certain series or trilogy", or something equivalent.

    Your not a true fan unless everytime you see a camaro you think of which bumblebee repaint/ character who shares his body type it is.

    Your not a true fan if you collection doesn't feature every optimus prime and megatron from each particular line.

    Oh this one is good.....
    your not a true fan unless you've watched the entire unicron trilogy ... and found at least 1 thing you liked.

    Your not a true fan unless you own g1 toys.

    Your most definately not a true fan if you fail to realise the stunning grace, excellence, and sheer utter perfection that IS skylynx.

    I agree with this. Everyone who has different tastes are still fans.

    However it wouldn't be like a TF fan if we don't at least get a little uptight over some people's opinions. :lol

    You are not a true fan if you can't name more then 10 characters who were not in the movies. I think thats a pretty lenient benchmark.

    I had to laugh, I was just complaining about how irrelevant scale was in the MP line just yesterday. Don't forget the 'who got reformatted into the cyclonus/scourge' arguments! Haha!

    Anyhow! You're not a true fan if you can't acknowledge and accept that G1 was,is and will be the only thing relevant in the TF franchise for many years to come!

    Thread winner!:D

    If you enjoy Transformers in any form, you are a true fan.
