    I'm still getting used to the site.

    Overall I love it, but a few things irk me.

    1.) The drop down menus keep disappearing before I can click where I want to go.

    2.) The related news tabs at the bottom sometimes come in handy, and like with the recent black shadow variant instructions, it'd be nice to have the links at the bottom for the Jazz instruction head variant, tomahawk, and Terradive that were revealed similiarly. Those being gone are annoying and make it harder to find related news.

    Well really that's it. Everything else I've gotten used to already.

    The brighter colors is taking a little getting used to. Also, I keep hitting the Transformer World 2005, thinking it is the Boards link.

    Has it been that long since I've watched it... my God, we are that old. Now why was 2010 important again?

    Not a big fan. Looks like something from the Angelfire/Geocities era of web design. Lots of bevel and emboss, strokes and outer glows. I thought the site looked classy and distinct before, but now it looks like you let a junior level graphic designer take a whack at it. It's too bubbly and difficult to distinguish text visually at first glance in many instances, I'd keep the back end work you guys have done and toss the new visual look. It's way too cheesy and photo shopped to look like a webpage with a legitimate designer.

    To put it another way I cringe upon opening this page now, where as before it felt distinguished and unique. Anyone with basic knowledge of photoshop could literally make this same design in 5 minutes or less.

    Please PLEASE change it, it's an eye sore.


    and by the way, why change the gray background? Now my avatar and signature no longer blend in!

    I will keep them that way to remember the old days.

    It's when the japanese dub of season 3 takes place.


    I do gotta agree, I miss the previous design. It was near perfection. I guess this is going to stay though, so better to just get used to it sadly.

    Yeah it's an eye sore. The features are fine but the color scheme blows. There's no contrast between text and colors.

    I like the redesign, but the lack of a mobile version is still a HUGE downer
