    It's a wonder Hasbro still holds conventions with people like this populating the fanbase.

    Is that videotaped? I think every Transfan wants to hear it from them.

    Under rug swept.

    I'm sure I may be in the minority on this, but the whole "Shattered Glass" thing has absolutely zero appeal to me. Goofy ass repaints with a convoluted story built as nothing more than a way to fund the "fan club". You mean to tell me they couldn't come up with other, more interesting toys from the decades of Transformers lore to have as exclusives? Though, I guess it's pretty brilliant on the part of whoever came up with the whole thing. This fandom is weak as hell when it comes to being selective about the shit they'll throw their money down on.

    If that was the best they could do with Gigatron with what they had, in their words, why bother even making him Gigatron? Why not just use a different character?

    I don't understand these club decisions; was somebody forcing them to make the tank Gigatron? Why not choose another obscure tank Transformer that worked better?

    It's almost like they came off apologetic for him because they singled him out, like they realized it wasn't a good figure or something.

    Hey I like Gigatron. It honours Masterforce and the ending to LSOTW.
