let the count down begin
( 10 ) the three kids, pikachu & their pokemon pals --> are basically
homeless & drift from one spot to the next.
( 9 ) the pokemon creatues dont speak much & when they do >> all they do
is repeat & repeat their name ( squirtle , squirtle ) <-- example
( 8 ) that annoying narrator at the end of each episode that names all
the pokemons used in that episode.
( 7 ) Jessie from team rocket is often reffered to as ugly & a hag -->
Sorry but I see her as attractive,beautiful & sexy.
( 6 )weird names like ash --> why would a mother name her son such a
disgusting name.
( 5 ) ash's mother has let him go on a long journey by himself & doesnt
seem to care much.
Sorry guys & pokemon fan's but what mother in their right mind would let
a 8 year old son roam the streets in search of pokemon pals .
this seems irresponsible & the mother should be brought up on child
neglect charges.
( 4 ) each episode is very dull & booring to watch & if you've seen 5
episodes thats all you need ever to see . basically the same stuff &
situations happen over & over & over again.
( 3 ) the team rocket team are very weak & always loose in the end &
basically gain nothing in the process .
( 2 ) the other 2 kids who follow ash around -->
look up to him & keep saying wow he's brave or
he's got spirit & guts.
why dont they make a idol statue of him & worship it every night.
IT is ridiculous why kids older > would look up to a kid younger than
them
THE TOP # 1 REASON WHY I HATE POKEMON IS-------------------->
( 1 ) THAT STUPID YELLOW RABBIT-MOUSE NAMED PIKACHU REFUSES TO EVOULVE
INTO RACHU.
damn you gay ass pikachu.
Pokemon fans & haters feel free to add to the list --> why you hate
pokemon .
P.S --> even though I really hate the pokemon cartoon >> the pokemon
movie was exciting & had alot of violence in it .
to bad the cartoon isnt like the movie.
meotwo was cool & kick major ass in this movie.
Dinobot 2 captures pikachu & slices him up into
slices & then wonders --> does he prepare the
recipe for a mouse or rabbit.
dinobot 2 gets frustrayed & just gulps him down raw & dinobot 2 now
keeps repeating " pika , pika gotta catch those maximals. "

Some Transfans like Pokemon too, but that's no reason why it doesn't
need to go on a Pokemon newsgroup.
BTW, lots of violence does not make an enjoyable experience. I am
referring to *that* shuttle scene from TF:TM, of course.

Weird? Not the word I would use. but, that's because there is no one,
single word I can use to describe him. You know, I find myself having to
stop myself from responding to every single one of his posts for fear I'll
become some sort of obsessed troll. Is there something wrong with me? I
know I shouldn't let it get to me. At least Uniden was a little more
interesting.

Let's just say I was being... eh, kind. Then again, it probably
doesn't matter what anyone says, since he never appears to
read any of the rebuttals. He certainly never responds to them.

Then there's probably something wrong with both of us, because I've
often been tempted to give him a piece of my mind myself. I've put a
couple of spotty digs in, but it's not worth my time or yours, really.
Between his writing "style", his often less-than-sensible reasoning and
his arrogance (You know, of course, that we're all 100% wrong, right?),
he's certainly a source of consternation. I say ignore him, hard though it
is... he may not go away if we do, but it'll do wonders for our dispositions.

<<<( 10 ) the three kids, pikachu & their pokemon pals --> are basically

( Ash Misty and Brock aren't Homeless. We have seen all their Homes.
Since they have limited Means of Money they Camp insead of Shacking up
in a Hotel or Motel. It saves Money.)
<<<( 9 ) the pokemon creatues dont speak much & when they do >> all they

( It saves Money by having them say their names, plus it helps Peole
remember their Names instead of saying, "Ahmmm. Who is that Yellow Rat
looking Pokemon?")
<<<( 8 ) that annoying narrator at the end of each episode that names
all the pokemons used in that episode. >>>
(What would you have them do? "Pikachu says" like sailor Moon? This is
to let you know from where the last episode left off and where the
current Episode begins.)
<<<( 7 ) Jessie from team rocket is often reffered to as ugly & a hag
--> Sorry but I see her as attractive,beautiful & sexy.>>>
(She is the Villan of the show. Remember, even though she might be
attractive on the outside. Her Character is shown to be very ugly on the
inside. It helps Kids to see that just because your Prety on the outside
and person can be ugly on the Inside and Vice Versa like Misty.)
<<<( 6 )weird names like ash --> why would a mother name her son such a
disgusting name. >>>
( I think names are fine! its better than what they did in Sailor Moon!
I wish they would have stuck with either their Japanese Names or Use a
Translated Version or something thats close to what their Names are.
Example: Sailor Moon Name is in Japan, Tuskino Usagi, In Us its Serena,
but in the Translated Manga its Bunny. Bunny is a Translated version
ofher Japanese Name which means Bunny of the Moon)
<<<( 5 ) ash's mother has let him go on a long journey by himself &

Sorry guys & pokemon fan's but what mother in their right mind would let

<<<( 4 ) each episode is very dull & booring to watch & if you've seen 5

( Thats Not True! In many Episodes gives Refference to "Pokemon The
First Movie" as well you See The Characters Grow in Maturity,
responcability and how they except and work with others. Its a very well
written Show! Even though it has been Edited. From what the Japanese
Version is Much better. Of course Usually every Japanese Shows are
Better! They don't mind if their Cartoons have a little Sexual Innuendo
in them. It shows how Close Minded People in the United States are. in
the US all cartoons these days has to have a Educational Value to them
or they don't get Broadcasted. Again, Look at Sailor Moon! It was Edited
Drastically and they added that Sailor Moon Says. Ick!!!)
<<<( 3 ) the team rocket team are very weak & always loose in the end &

( They are the Villians! They are always to Loose at the end of the

Oh, I've seen him respond to one or two every once in a while, just not
to the actual post. It's usually to someone else's post or his own that
started the thread. Very confusing when reading via Outlook Express.

Glad it's not just me. I'm guilty of a couple of digs myself. And I
agree. There are certainly better things I could do with my time.

Heh, writing "style." That's good. :) Remember, "Yes, you have the
right to your opinion, but you are 100% wrong." Shame I lost the original
version of that somewhere, but I don't think I could handle seeing it
misspelled everytime I looked at my sig :) Think I'll just keep my sunny
disposition and move on to the next post :)

people like you. It's like the Beast Machines Haters in this newsgroup.
They openly hate the show, yet they watch each show (probably over and over
again).
If you hate Pokemon, stop watching it fool!!! I watch the show, because I
like it...I have no idea why I like it...but I do. It's just entertaining.

1. The GOD-DAMNED HORRIBLE LIP SYNCH. Their heads remain perfectly still
while the mouth hole flaps open and shut in a limited fashion of 2 or 3
shapes.
2. Hackneyed Japanese animation style -- such as the big, spiky hair,
exaggerated oval eyeballs, etc.
These two alone prevent me from enjoying anything about this show.

Oh, that's right -now that I think of it, didn't he keep going on and on
about
that whole "Bob Skir and Marty Isenberg Should Be Treated Like Gods"
deal, for one?

10. They wander around from place to place, isnt that pretty much standard
quest routine? 9. It's something new how the Pokemon speak. 8. The narrator
at the end isn't the best but it hadly kills the show. 7. You don't like the
show cuz they make fun of the bad girl that you like? 6. Ash is wierd but
Spike in transformers isn't. 5. Okay letting a little kid go is a stretch
but it happens in shows all the time. How many times did Daniel rome the
universe is season 3? 4. Each episode does have a lot of the same storylines
but there are also a lot of good ones that break away froom the mold. 3. The
bad guys can't win, what about Megatron, he pretty much always lost at the
end of every show. 2. Brock and Misty dont look up to Ash, they just try to
boost his confidence at times. 1. Pikachu is the show's star.

From what I read (can't remember what or where), Japan got the big-eye
influence from Disney. Plus it allows the Japanese to express emoitions more
easily. The spikey hair and stuff... that's just Japanese quirkiness. :)

Oh what a fucking horrible prejudiced statement. Have you realized that us
"Beast Machines Haters" might watch it because, oh I dunno, its Transformers? I
watch it because I want to see what is happening to my favorite toyline,
whether it is getting raped or if there's some possible way for it to get saved
(IMO).
I dislike the organic direction it is going in, but if there is some plot twist
coming up regarding it, I want to be there to watch. Despite my dislike for
Beast Machines, it is still Transformers, and I am going to be there till the
end-- no matter what its end may bring.
Statements like yours tempt me to call BM lovers "sheep" and "conformists", but
you see, all sides have their views and their idiots and their trolls. Most of
ATT has become a very, very intolerable place, simply because people can't
realize that they have differing views, and you can't *force* someone to change
their mind. Things like "You hate BM, then dont watch!" and "BM isnt REALLY
Transformers!" are tearing this newsgroup apart, and yet I don't see many
people doing a damn thing to stop it.
Not like it matters, right? Im just a BM Hater. I am stupid and am not a real
Transfan because I dont accept organics into a mythos about mechanical beings.
I am a fool for watch a show I despise. I have no right to be mad at what is
now considered canon. Me thinking BM's poor characterization, lack of plot,
and overuse of exposition doesn't matter, because hey, Im just a BM Hater. I am
not allowed to watch this Transformers show.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Watching Beast Machines is like
witnessing a friend you love dearly go through terrible suffering and agony.
He/she is hooked to a respirator and it's just too upsetting to watch this poor
franchise...err, I mean "friend" go through that type of pain. You want to pull
the plug.
Besides, if everyone only posted messages praising Bob Skir and his band of
misfits, this group would become pretty boring, wouldn't it? Take care.

The Top Ten Reasons Top Ten Lists Are Dumb
10. They're not original.
9. They aren't that funny.
8. They are usually padded with junk just to come out to 10.
7. Um, things.
6. There is no number six.
5. People frequently rip off Monty Python for a cheap stolen laugh.
4. Cause they couldn't think of anything themselves.
3. The #1 reason isn't even the funniest one.
2. Yeah!
And the number one reason:
1. That really lame "and the number one reason is" thing instead of
just listing number one. I hate that.

and I hated it, then I wouldn't watch it. If they come up with a show next
year called "Teddy Bears: Transformers", which features teddy bear like
creatures who transform into robots, I sure as hell won't watch it just
because it has the "Transformers" logo in it. Well sure, I'd probably watch
the first show...then if it sucked (which I'm sure such a silly thing
would), then I wouldn't watch it, even though it was "Transformers" by name.
And that wouldn't make me feel like I was betraying the Transformers
universe.
You're using the fact that this show is labeled "Transformers" as an excuse.
You must deep down inside like the show, otherwise you would stop watching
it, regardless of its name. People, in general, do not watch TV shows they
hate, because now-a-days, most people have cable with tons of other viewing
options. So by saying you watch the show because it is "Transformers", it
gives you an excuse to keep watching it, without having to admit you like
it.
Transformers is alot like "Star Trek" if you think about it. The original
show generated alot of hard core fans. Then "Star Trek: The Next
Generation" came along, which is kinda like "Beast Wars". It became popular
as well. Then "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" came along and it was not as
popular. Alot of the hard core fans tried to give the show a chance, but
alot of them didn't like it because it was different, kinda like Beast
Machines. So they stopped watching it. I, like other Star Trek fans, did
happen to like the show and watched it until the end. But those other Star
Trek fans didn't like it...so why would they keep watching it? Just because
it had the "Star Trek" logo on it? Hell no! They thought the show was bad,
so they didn't watch it, and it didn't make them less of a Star Trek fan.
And that Pokemon guy, who started this thread, really doesn't hate Pokemon
as much as he claims. He knows all the little details about the show, and
has obviously watched alot of the episodes. He likes it, but is embarassed
to admit it.

It's b-o-r-i-n-g (IMHO, I'd better add before all of the people who hate you
start on me to);
It's just too damn painful to watch;
It's only purpose is to sell cards and the like to millions of idiot
school-children. Storyline? Plot?
I'll assume that in response people will talk about the original transformer
series, Sailor Moon and other cartoon - but that doesn't make Pokemon any
better. And what's that, why do I watch a show I hate? I don't. I watched a
couple of episodes, but found myself longing for the appearance of Hank
Spandex it was so bad :(

discussions about the show and about the TF universe. I don't understand
why some people on this newsgroup feel compelled to keep watching the show
and posting nothing but negative comments about it. If they're Transfans,
then cool...you can post about numerous other TF topics, which you actually
enjoy.
Newsgroups, in general, are about people getting together to discuss a topic
which they enjoy. If you're a Transfan in this group, why not post on G1,
BW, toys, comics, or something else you do enjoy about the TF universe? Why
do you have to keep watching a show you hate and keep posting about it? Why
not focus on the other things you like?

That it is, but I'd use some different examples
than you. For instance:
G1=Star Trek: TOS
G2=Star Trek: TAS
BW=Star Trek: TNG/Star Trek: DS9
(TNG in that it was a new direction, DS9
in that it had a plot arc)
BM=Voyager
(Voyager because both it and Beast
Machines are being written by people who have no
clue what made Star Trek/Transformers
(respectively) great.)

There are two types of people in this world: those that divide everyone
into groups of two, and those that don't.

until the film "The Rescuers Down Under". Ever since then Disney has
always been influenced by Anime. "The Little Mermaid" promenantly
features all their Human Characters with the Big eyes and it was even in
Disney's Last Feature Tarzan. Remember a way to for the Character to
show any emotion is through their Eyes. You can always know what
emotional state a character is by their Eyes. Even Transformers.

Thank you, Captain Subconsious! I'm so glad you have intimate knowledge
of other people's psyches that they're blind to! What would we ever do
without your powerful over-modem psychoanalytic skills?
> Um. Wrong.
VERY wrong.
I do not like Beast Machines. Sorry. I find it to be a raging
dissapointment on many levels, both as a continuation of the TF mythos
and on its own as a show, past TF shows regardless.
But I keep watching. Why? Because it is a Transformers show, and I WANT
IT TO GET BETTER. And If it does get better, I WANT TO BE THERE TO SEE
IT.
Too bad so far it's seeming to be in vain.
I don't WANT BMach to fail. I have to admit, I think a lousy show might
be better than no show, since the show's very presense keeps it in the
public eye, which helps the toy line. And besides, as long as the show
continues, there's still opportunities for it to get better.

I do. To find things to hate about it. I like to do my research when I
develop my pet peeves, so I'm sure that my hate is justifiable. Hatred
based on ignorance is just stupid. It makes arguing your points a LOT
easier when you have evidence.

Well, that's one thing that Beast Machine's got on G1. I don't think the
Transformers characters ever expressed *any* kind of emotions through their
faces in any of the cel-animated stories. I mean, Megatron wore that perpetual
scowl on account of the eyebrows, Beachcomber had what my sister dubbed "sad
optics"...
I remember the first time I saw "The Search for Alpha Trion" and Alpha hints
that he created Prime. We get what can only be called a "reaction shot" from
Prime in the most abstract sense. I guess maybe his eyes were a smidgen wider
than usual, but I'm pretty sure it was just my imagination. :)

I guess the best way for the Generation 1 Transformers to express
emotion was through their mouths. The way the lines curved into
smiles or frowns, or opened wide in shock or surprise. A shot of
Starscream's terrified visage in "Traitor" comes to mind. :)

Hey, I got that impression too. :)
> ZobTrivia (11/25): Cite four references to turkeys in the G1 cartoon.
Ooh... tough one. But, as "Crocodile" Dundee said, I'll have a lash. :)
In "The Immobilizer", while the Autobots are in the forest testing the
title device, Trailbreaker replies in this manner to Megatron's "request"
for them to hand it over:
"Try and take it, Megaturkey!"
In "A Prime Problem", Optimus Prime has this to say about
Soundwave's chief dirty-bird:
"Laserbeak! You tinfoil turkey!"
In "Sea Change", as Astrotrain takes off with the various Decepticons,
Rumble is almost left behind. He just manages to jump aboard as he
screams:
"Hey, you Astroturkey! Wait for me!!"
And finally, I belive in "War Dawn", one of the Aerialbots (most
likely Air Raid) goes:
"Let's annihilate these turkeys!"

Why don't Americans speak Japanese? You see, not everybody has to do things the

I can agree, Convoy sounds bad for Optimus, but again, maybe for Japanese sounds
cool.

I don't think so. The concept of Transformers is Japanese.

doesn't seem to understand that people have diverse tastes. See, Vic will
learn the lesson better if it hits home....
I realize why the Japanese speak Japanese, I realize why the English speak
English, why the Germans speak German and why the Brazilians speak
Portuguese. I realize why the Basques talk like they do...wait, no I don't!
Nobody does!
My point is this: I may have ethnocentric thoughts once in a while, but I am
*NOT* an ethnocentric individual.
This was, in-every-possible-conceivable-way, a satirical representation of
those who, for some reason, are incapable of realizing that the world does
not revolve around them.

You know, for someone who speaks as many languages

You just don't get it, do you? If a show named "Teddy Bears: Transformers" were
to come out next year, you wouldn't feel betrayed or upset at all? You'd simply
ignore it, despite the fact that it throws all previous continuity out the
window and is a terrible example of the Transformer mythos?

Uh-uh, nope, nada, sorry. I hated last year of The Simpsons, but I watched
every episode of it. Why? Because it's my favorite program, and I don't want to
quit viewing it because there was a chance it may get better. And you know
what? It did. Season 11 is off to a great start and, if I had stopped watching
The Simpsons, then I may have missed their resurection this year(although it is
still a bad season compared to the "golden age" era, which I consider to be
seasons 1-5).

[Goldimus hits the Autobot emblem on his front end, and gets nothing
but static back]
"Dang cheap Korean import communicator(no offense to any Koreans:)"
[Goldimus hears a whistling sound, and looks up]
"What is that thing?"
[It falls right at Goldimus, who is still trying to figure out what it
is]
"Not an air attack, there'd be more things falling at me...oh slag"
[The object hits Goldimus right in the head, and becomes stuck on his
horns. The object(kinda) opens, and a flash of light blasts out,
forming the imposing form of Transcharizard]
"Geez, remind me never to fall asleep in the same area as Kup ever
again" he said.
"Just get this thing off my head!"
"Right"
[Transcharizard pops the large Pokeball off Goldimus' horns]
"Wait a second, you have a working comm link, don't you?" asked
Goldimus, "contact BJ, tell her where I am, and that we're moving into
position"
"Oh yes sir!" replied Transcharizard, in his best Rattrap-sarcastic
voice.
"Oh, and tell her I have Zepherimus coming in with his Terrorcons"
"Goldimus, BJ wants to know where Tykus is"
"I would think guarding her, but last I saw, he was looking at a
topless picture of Blackarachnia" said Goldimus, dropping a shameless
plug:)
"Yes, yes, I'll tell him, Transcharizard out. BJ wants us to reinforce
Dave(the original)"
"Okay then, Goldimus Prime, transform and roll out!"
"Tranny, get in!"
[Transcharizard climbs in, and nearly gets stuck in the sliding door]
"Oh, Goldimus?"
"Yes?"
"Call me "Tranny" again, and I'll shove your exhaust pipe so far up
your..."
"I get the idea, consider the name deleted from my system. Now, let's

*All* 12 Dinobots?? Uh-oh... not even 6 G1-Silverbolts can stand

treatment! Can Wheelie come too, tho?
Rikard:
Uh... yeah, sure, why not? He can, uh, distract the enemy with
his rhy-
A deafening boom is heard outside. Rikard and the others run
out of the secret bunker and to their horror, see 11 Beast Wars
Dinobots tearing away pieces of the Royal Palace, draped in
flames.
DeathStormConvoy:
they have ---> destroyed the palace & the area around it!!!!!
death to all bm hatters!!!
Rikard:
Oh, holy heaven... (runs inside and literally throws himself at the
communication system) Silverbolt! Where the shock are you
when I need you?! Damn... there's no power. They must have
shorted out the whole neighbourhood... blast you, Blue-Jackal!
Deathsomething and WD engage the enemy with middling results,
and to top it all, the PokéBall suddenly appears just above the
street, ready to strike!
Rikard:
Get to cover, you two!!
Wait... 11 Dinobots? I thought there were 12? Where's... uh-oh...
A low, ominous growl is suddenly heard from behind...

But anyway, it won't make any difference, BJ will find Swoop, but that
is only a copy.:)

This is really interesting, everyone's dividing into factions...
We could end up with a nice friendly little war...(and yes, that is an
oxymoron)

(The Original) glad to be on the British team, we ALWAYS win the wars ;)

"TC, you ready?You'll only have a few seconds to get out when I start
transforming"
"Don't worry about me, let's kick some skulls!"
"Alright then! Goldimus Prime, MAXIMIZE!"
[Goldimus begins to transform, as soon as Goldimus' roof detaches and
goes to subspace, Transcharizard leaps out just avoiding being crushed
by the compacting passenger compartment. Goldimus Prime pulls out his
Muffler Gun, and begins taking out enemy troops, as Transcharizard
helps the Dinobot Patrol]
"We don't have enough power! I'm calling in more help!" Goldimus yelled
to Transcharizard over the weapons fire, "Goldimus to StarJets, move in
and attack!"
[From the sky, 5 futuristic looking Cyclonus-ish jets swoop down, and
begin strafing the enemy]
"StarJets! Battle Mode!" caled the lead jet, and the 5 transformed into
5 indentical robots, and began destroying enemy tanks and aircraft.
"Transcharizard! Fire Blast now!" commanded Goldimus
[And TC let out a massive wall of fire, sending the enemy troops
running]
"ALRIGHT! Transcharizard, good work, call BJ and tell her we have this
area secured, and are awaiting further orders" said Goldimus,
"StarJets, remain here, and keep this place from falling to enemy
hands, got it?"
"YES SIR!" The StarJets all yelled at once.
"Goldimus, BJ has congratulated us on a good job, and wants us to help
the Box-O-Skywarp jam all communication channels with Hank and Mr.
Motivator" said Transcharizard.
"Okay then, let's get going, transform and roll out!"
[Goldimus and TC drive off toward the nearest radio tower, with an
endless loop tape of Hank and you know who ready]

Prime Saber: <Turns Blue-Jackal's box-o-Skywarp into dust-o-Skywarp.
Flings the dust with a wave of his sword into the now-suddenly-ill
Transcharizard, who coughs out the barbecued 168th Micromaster
platoon, burning up David Cousens' attack squad coming down.
Confused about its allegiance, the 14th Jigglypuff tank division
has silenced the media broadcasting of Hank and Mr. Motivator.>
<Plays the Transformers: Victory theme song.>
All right, who wants to invade Rikard's Scandinavian country now? ^.^
Original Dinobot: <To his platoon of Dinobots> "Retreat! Retreat!"

A newsreader stands with a camera crew in the streets of Norway...
Newsreader: "This is Marty Minkler reporting live from Norway.
We are witnessing the fighting first hand.
Just moments ago the 90th Blaster regiment stormed the
city, broadcasting Terry Wogans "Floral dance" song.
Meanwhile a crack team of Soundwaves have stormed
government buildings with a threat of broadcasting Tracks
greatest hits if power is not relinquished with 24 hours.
We have also received word that General Basso Profundo,
group captain Zebob Scandana and Lt.Cmdr Allegra are moving
to block supplies from the north of the city.
Oh, here's someone now..."
Newsreader approaches someone...
Newsreader: "You are?"
Tarantulas: "I am Tarantulas and we have invented a weapon that will
secure us victory over Norway, hehehehehe..."
Newsreader: "And the weapon is?"
Tarantulas: "We have cloned thousands of Daniel Witwickeys and will let
them loose to rampage through the streets of Norway,
Hehehehehe, it will be most entertaining, hehehehe"
Newsreader: "So there you are viewers.
Until our next bulletin..."
