    Btw.: It is so cool that I found this site back then. I was at my old work and often reminisced about Transformers and started googling stuff about them and reading up on the Wiki about things I already knew and stuff I did not know yet and through this also often stumbled upon TFW2005. At first I mostly came here to read G13's attempt at funnies, until I registered to comment here. At first I gave him feedback on MySpace, because I loved his photo comics :D 

    Before I found this website, I did not even know that others were also so obsessive about an old cartoon and toys from the 80s. Also this site made me collect toys. Because I saw other grownups did it as well and I came to the conclusion that grownups can do whatever they want, even collect kid's toys.

    Let’s all hope for another 20 years of whinging about nothing in particular with frequent sprinklings of toygasm. And another 20 years, and another, and another...

    Still to this day I think Tim Formas is a made up name.

    Way to close to Trans Formers.

    That reminds of the participation award that Ryan got at Botcon, LOL good times. You know because Hasbro wanted to make sure someone didn't walk away with all the trophies.

    By Primus!
    Hail Unicron!
    We're a bunch of old farts!

    Thank you to the team.
    Incredible work, dedication and attitude; considering the late 90s and early to mid 2000's were extremely lean years for the fandom (unless you love you some Cybertron).

    I remember perusing the forums multiple times daily in 2005 and 2006, clinging on to hope for news on the live action movie!
    And when that Mars trailer dropped...

    Again, thanks for keeping the flame lit, and a tip of the hat to you lot.
    Being a TF fan before the movies was indeed a strange, quiet time. And you guys gave us hope!

    Hoping the team is doing well and taking care.
    Here's to another 20 years!

    I became active way back when RID/Car robots appeared on the scene. A few fun memories from early on:
    * bigbadtoystore.com was this crazy nitch site, had an exclusive beast wars unicorn, and years later introduced the idea of "Pile of Loot"
    * The grey prototype for masterpiece Optimus Prime and the alternator prototype
    * Worlds smallest transformers (2004-2005) line
    * Witnessing the birth of the 3rd party toys
    * Pretending Energon Optimus prime wasn't a fat ugly toy who's trailer transformed by "falling"
    * Being part of what I think was perhaps the best official transformers toy line of them all, classics
    * Being young enough to be excited about a transformers movie, but at the same time being old enough to want a movie with a plot and having conflicting feelings

    While life has moved on and I have turned into a lurker its crazy that I have been visiting this site for 20 years.

    Very impressive milestone! Let's see, I joined in 2002 (probably lurked for about a year before that), check the site multiple times every day, yet my post count is 46...
