Talk:Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 franchise)
CR vs MB
That section sure is... black and white. There are a lot of other reasons Beast Machines went the way of eek, but they're not addressed here. (For example, the final folding of Kenner into Hasbro.) Also, all US fans rejoiced when RiD was announced? Like hell. Scores of people were pissed that now everything they imported for twice US retail was now going to be brought over domestically. Another group of peoplwere were pissed it was nothing but "repaints" for a year. And then they were pissed even more when the cartoon turned out to be not exactly Babylon Five. "The US fandom rejoiced" is way oversimplified. I think that section needs some heavy moderation. --ItsWalky 15:24, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
RID rox, BM sux!!!1
"Many fans were paying hand over foot for imports of the Japanese line, all the while complaining about the poor quality of the Beast Machines line and show"
"Couple that with an all new 10-changer, Beast oriented, Gigatron and you had the making of the first new millenium Transformers series, one that combined the best from everything before it into one."
I think those two statements of opinion also need to be edited or eliminated.

- Indeed. The fandom complaining about the quality of the current line and buying imports from Japan is not a phenomenon exclusive to Beast Machines. It is merely the status quo. --ItsWalky 16:52, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- It seems that most of the opinion-laden statements were made by a single anonymous poster. I'd actually advocate just reverting back to MSipher's last version.--G.B. Blackrock 17:01, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
"yuk yuks"
I edited out the part that said the DVDs don't play in "real DVD players". Some of these jokes are dumb and misleading. I'm all for fun, but why litter this encyclopedia with it? It there a rule with this wiki that says writers have to put jokes in?
