10. Movie Airazor
11. Twitch

One of the last two can be blamed on a certain set of screenwriters and character designers, and the other on Phil Ayres... I leave it as an exercise for the reader as to which is which...

Karl

EVERYONE should own a Movie Mainline Airazor. I will be asking serious of those who don't buy her along the lines of "THAT THE F*** ARE YOU PLAYING AT??????"

So Phil got you to get Twitch then?

Had a relapse:

80: Allspark Power 2007 Movie Big Daddy.
81: Legacy Evolution Toxitron capsule G2 Universe Grimlock.

Big Daddy was dirt cheap on ebay, probably because the card was in a state and very faded (packaging to be recycled soon). It had been on my 'to reacquire list' as a modern toy...but the card says...2007!!!! It can't be that long ago!!!

DOC'!!!

BIG PHIL'S PULLING AWAY FROM YOU, MAN!


TAKE HIM OUT!


AND I DON'T MEAN FOR DINNER!

[The Doctor]

Phil counts his stuff differently from me. He lists every toy seperately. I list by sets.

-Ralph

[Shockprowl]

BOG PHIL IS A LIE!

[Benn]

I hope so, that sounds horrible.

There are different ways of counting things.

I would argue mine is decent - if I counted them by sets then my Battelmaster Rhinox would count but my Battlemaster Rhinox in with Weaponizer Wheeljack *WOULDN'T*

Besides it's my thread and I'm right.

My set count is currently my overall count -20 I think

[Pinwig]

I think we have previously ascertained (at length) that as the thread title says 'transformers', it means individual robots, not sets.

As is often the way of things (when Martin's not doing it), The Pinwig shines logic and understanding onto the bitter-insane rivalry of The Doctor and The Bog.


It is in the title.


Doctor, as honourable as your method is, as your sponsor, as strongly suggest switching counting method to one dictated by the thread title.


AND WHIP THAT BOG'S ASS REAL GOOD!

[Pinwig]

I think I might have missed why Phil is a bog. Or is Shockers just off on one again?
