Optimus Prime is and always has been a machine of murder. Even in the overall mess of RotF, his growl of “GIVE ME YOUR FACE” made me giggle like I was eight again and watching him gun down those jerkass Decepticreeps.

Lucas killed my childhood. Bob Orci & Alex Kurtzman, for all of the movie’s flaws and failings, jolted it back to life for just a brief second. Notice I credit the writers rather than the director.

Holy crap I can’t type today: “Transformer: The Real Movie…”

I’m am tacking above here: The Glaive not only killed the fuck out of things, it left an entire generation ignorant as to what a glaive actually is. On that note, add Simon Bellmont’s “morning star” to that list as well.

That was a great read. I was right there with you after Transformer: The Realm Move You Fucking Asshole Bay I’ll Gank You, trying to move due to these suddenly massive testicles I had to tote around. Prime didn’t just shoot the Dececpticons, he shot the shit out of them. Why? Because he had the touch, motherfucker.

Fuck Hot Rod.

For my money (none of which you actually get), I’d put the Glaive from Krull above the three-bladed sword. I mean, the sword was clumsy, and the effects for firing it were shit. But damned if I didn’t give the Glaive to at least three D&D characters when I was like 14.

And I’m still of the opinion that Wolvie’s claws only made sense when they were bionic implants. The bone claws are dumb.

I completely agree – OP’s gun is awesome. I’m sick fed up of the sanitised crap and want people to actually kick ass. I’m looking at YOU George Lucas – you made Han a pussy for not shooting first (when Greedo had a fucking gun in his FACE) and what you did to Indiana Jones will haunt me for the rest of my life – South Park had it right you fuck!
