Thanks man good answers to the questions and I liked your answer to mine and to the last question as none of my mates know I collect them,they know I like Transformers but not that I collect them and I think your response of football teams was a very good example,Well done sir.

yeah, i wouldnt mind doing this sometime, get in touch for when you want me to do it
as for the video presentations, very nicely done, you even had a support cast. great questions and fine answers h-rod, especially the last one. im like that too, i dont give a damn what people think except for the core people in my life. if i feel the need to justify my collecting habits then im doing it for the wrong reasons.

I think these are really good ideas and seeing them from Hot Rod,Jason and Transfans point of view would be really cool.

Thats one great attitude man I think that is a great way to look at it.Like I dont understand why people should mock someone that loves somethin ya know ,I'm a manchester united fan but I wouldn't say to a Liverpool fan your a whatever for liking Liverpool its peoples interests and Liverpool tickle some peoples fancies and I respect that for instance.My attitude to anyone that tries to mock me while wearing a Transformer t-shirt or whatever is yeah so? Cause why should I feel like its wrong ,it sure as hell isn't, people collect all sorts of things from keys to stamps(believe me I cleared some peoples houses with my uncles and its intruiging sometimes what I'd see and find but I'm cool with it) .I'd rather spend money on a Transformer than buying drugs or going out on benders cause they don't interest me but Transformers does.My Gf sorta understands my hobby in collecting them and she embraces it which is very cool of her cause I know she's not very interested in them and she sees that I spend my money on them and herself instead of getting locked or taking any drugs which I've never done but if anyone does here thats cool cause thats your choice and I respect that.I'm not bashing drink or drugs I'm just taking examples in my life.Don't get me wrong I do go out and drink but I am a student therefore have no money so I curb my expense on drink cause I know there's a certain Transformer I want and I'll keep money by for it out of what I have to get it.
My gf likes my hobby cause when I tell her stories of the mad shit my mates do when they've had a bit too much she knows I rarely ever get hammered cause I save money for my transformers which reduces my drink considerably and means I'm fresh the next day to see her that I'm not in bits hung over or after doin somethin crazy.And I'm happy to live that way cause I'm seen by my parents and my mates as the safe ,resposible, careful one.
My brother used to collect Star Wars figures but now he's big into drink and its changed him so much so that he's even slagged me about my Transformers but I don't care cause I'm happy with my hobby and its kept me outta trouble.His attitude showed me that what I'm doin is good cause I don't get into trouble and if he kept collectin Star Wars figures he wouldn't be like that.
I was in town with him and he picked up a Clone trooper and looked at it and put it down when I asked him if he was gettin it he said no sure I don't collect them anymore but I know he still likes Star wars but he's tryin to take a tough guy approach cause I'd say its peer pressure with his mates and stuff which is kinda sad cause its takin him down a path thats not gonna be good as he's proven .
Sorry bout the rant lads just somethin to get off me chest to fellow Transformer fans who might see it my way.

Sorry bout the rant lads just somethin to get off me chest to fellow Transformer fans who might see it my way. I'd agree with pretty much everything you said there man. For example myself and Blitzwing were into collecting swords for a while and my ma hated it. She'd always give out that they're dangerous and stuff, and given that they were invented to kil people i'd say she was probably right but no the less it was enjoyable buying them. it's the same with transformers. It's great fun collecting them, good laugh when you go into jays to buy them and I've met a good few nice people through colecting them. What you said about drinking here I'd defo agree with, in my experience a good night is one where you have a few drinks but dont overdo it. I've often gone too far with drink and it's not pretty, why go out and waste your wages on, what results in a headache and dodgey stomach, when you can buy some shapeshifting plastic/ metal and then you have it for as long as you want. Dont get me wrong i'm all about having a good time but I wouldn't buckle to peer pressure or hide the fact i'm a fan (kinda hard to now anyways as me and hot rod are known in work for always talking about it, and having war within prowl on my desk for a while wasn't exactly subtle). Point is that it's lousy when people give you a hard time for being interested in something that they dont think is "cool".

And today on the TFIO show, we talk about feelings. Dude, you're the only one living your life. All the people that pass comment have their own lives to lead. They may or may not be a part of your life, but if you dig something that much, it shouldn't matter what anyone thinks. The only part of it that plays a big factor in my house is cost. For instance, I had to discuss getting the powered convoy trailer because of cost. Other than that, my wife is very supportive of it. Even if she wasn't, my interest wouldn't wane on it. Transformers is in my blood. Has been since the mid-80's. Aint not getting away from it now. And as for the ones who judge me and pass comment, their lives must be pretty empty that they feel the need to fill it with such garbage.

Thats exactly my thoughts on collecting them that it keeps me from bein in bits the next day and that I'm buying something that'll last very long.
And as for the ones who judge me and pass comment, their lives must be pretty empty that they feel the need to fill it with such garbage. Thats very true as anybody that has passed comment is either an idiot or a total tool so it doesn't bother me.I like to watch the programs and collect because I've never been in trouble and through the brotherness of the autobots I'd fight anyone who'd hit my brother but I;d never throw the first punch cause I try resolving things with words first.

ditto brother, ive never been in trouble with the law either and you did hit the nail on the head. my dad didnt like me collecting transformers at first but he did warm to it since it made me happy. now my dad wont go into my room cos he gets a little creeped out by all the eyes, looking, staring. it kept me out of trouble. and apart from that you gain responsibility cos its a real task to keep my collection clean.
video games did the same thing, sure im a fat git but it kept me out of trouble. to be honest, if it werent for games, god knows the shit id be into now. you heard it here folks
