    Congrats TFW2005 and Happy Birthday! I remember becoming a member back when images of the 2007 movie designs were leaking. Good memories.

    Big congrats to Tony B and every admin that has managed to create a space that has been for Transformer fans while also managing not to turn into the intellectual version of Reddit or 4Chan.

    Happiest of birthdays TFW2005! I probably spend more time on here reading news and engaging with the fine folk of this community than I do actually watching/ reading/ playing with Transformers so yeah, grazie! :)

    Showing my age here, but remember when the 2005 Boards were a part of Transfandom, was there for the break up (though never knew what was behind it), and like a child in a divorce, I picked one to stay with.

    Lot of memories, still miss childishly trading barbs with that jackass Bodycount, Orson's World (where I ran the risk of getting booted by asking Archer a verboten question regarding Alternators), and spent years bitching and moaning about the Armadaverse (which I still stand by - apart from uniform 5mm fist holes and weapon handles, was a total step backward), and lots of unfinished fanfic.

    Best TF site on the web (though do like Dave Vandolein's use of metric measurements and occasional use of scale in his reviews - fellow Americans, you need to accept metric is better for most things, accept it). Thanks for providing this site.

    Happy birthday TFW2005! Just over three years have passed since I joined this forum, and it was one of my best choices... here I can have all the information I need (animated series, toys etc.), and all this is possible thanks, not only to a very professional staff in their work, but above all because they love the Transformers, and want to share this passion sincerely with other fans!

    Happy birthday! I still remember when I first found the site. It was when leaked pictures of the Armada Unicron prototype popped up, and everyone was shocked Hasbro was actually making a Unicron toy. What a ride it has been since then.

    Btw.: I miss The Fuzzy World 2005 on April 1st. Although it would have been cooler if the website had a different style and theme every year on April 1st :D

    Before TFW , buying

    Haha, those vids were from spending TOO much time in the Fuzzy World.

    It’s nice having a place like this to comfortably act like that without being judged.

    It used to be embarrasing buying TF’s before TFW. Would even sometimes lie and say it was for my nephew so the clerk wouldnt think i’m wierd.

    Turns out being wierd is great. Now i’m buying toys for my kids but when I throw a TF on the counter with their toys I say the TF’s are for me.

    Am truly thankful for you guys & Bacala for giving me a place to go with good people, and a place to embrace my nerdiness that I used to hide from my family and friends.

    It feels crazy to know I've been alive for less time than some people here have been on this site!
