    Do calm down. I dunno where you come from but I was brought up here in Britain with the term with no great malice intended and both my brother and sister are left-handed and would refer to their 'cack-handedness' (their words) all the time. My post wasn't written as an insult, and bringing up other definitions for the term has nothing to do with what I meant. Look at the link you posted on it. See where it says '1 British: Left-handed'? Click on it and the very top of the list says: '1: using the left hand habitually or more easily than the right'. That's all I was using the term for.

    If it really upsets you as much as it appears then just report my earlier post.

    Well I do all sunstreaker's as left handed and sideswipe as right. Between me and my bro, I'm the hot headed one and he's calm. I like my paint nice and all too.

    I'm left-handed and I display most of my stuff with the gun in the left hand. Or on the end of the left wrist, in the case of Henkei Ironhide and Cyclonus.

    Except for my stupid gunless Roadblock I just got on eBay :mad

    Sorry, but with all the stigma still associated with being left-handed, I'm a little sensitive about it. Also, I lived in England for several years when I was younger and that phrase was used as an insult in my neighborhood.

    I am glad to hear that wasn't your intention, though. :thumbs2: 

    (look, even my smilie is left-handed...)

    WELLLLL... Seeing as a lot of my Transformers are on high shelves, making it so I can't see every single one of em, the only left handed ones I could find were:

    1)Animated Swoop
    2)Animated Prowl
    3)Animated Megatron

    I'm SURE there's more though... I know there is.. Just can't see anymore... :p

    So it is. Now I demand a right-handed one too for forum equality. :p 
    For myself I used to be pretty adept with both hands before an accident around fifteen years meant I ended up with a better right than left (meant I had to give up learning to play guitar too). If that hadn't happened I'd have probably been putting guns in both hands of my TF.

    But anyways, I'm never here to insult anyone and most times I simply confuse people with my British slang. Since I ditched the official TF movie board a while back because it got nasty there I'm just here for fun times and not to cause friction.
    My TF:A Optimus is now holding his gun in his left hand to show solidarity for TFW community peace. :)

    Hmm, I've seen a topic like this once before and it was fun last time. Most of mine are posed right, I then to stick the shield/other weapon in the left hand to leave the right free like with Uni Ironhide. As for deliberate lefties, all my Sunstreakers are for a nice symetry with his twin. And I just realized my Titanium WWI Op is a lefty, maybe that arm just posed better with all that heavy die cast, but I like him as a lefty now.
