Nice comeback. Only took you 27 years to come up with it, too.

Zob (prepare for my devastating rebuttal in 2050!)

Wouldn't it be something if Rise of the Beasts brought a new influx of commenters to this thread? We should bit.ly the Google Groups link to all the message boards...

One point I never understood back in the day when this thread was current was the disapproval of Transformers turning into animals, when plenty of notable characters were animals. Dinobots, Lazerbeak/Buzzsaw, Scorponok, Predacons, Sky Lynx, etc.

so this is the origin of Trukk Not Munky
