There isn't an original "big" bone in Chimpman's oversized, superior body.
No, because in the superior future you have to wait for a woman to tip her fedora at you.

They've tried. But they just keep doing it wrong. See their current exclusively female Star Wars character push "Forces of Destiny" which unexpectedly is landing like a turd in a punch bowl. LEGO spent $10's of millions of dollars over several years doing deep research and testing. The threw out all assumptions and pc correct nonsense and actually studied how kids play. How boys play. How girls play. At what ages they play the same. At what ages they play differently. How they play differently. They created the definitive document mapping out how children play. While most "academic" studies just use a handful of research subjects, LEGO used tens of thousands. But you or I will never get to read that as it is proprietary company secrets. For a toy company having the most accurate handbook of how children in the real world actually play is a license to print money.
Whereas Hasbro said fuck it and largely just listens to whiny idiots on the internet to determine what kids want in toys. Just look at how overwhelmingly well Rey action figures sell. Gotta double the production numbers of those for the next movie, otherwise somebody will accuse us of being sexist. I'm sure someone will find a use for them all somewhere eventually. Maybe to repair the levies near Houston?
See LEGO spent more money and resources researching how girls play then any academic study ever made. Hasbro just listens to Moviebob. The results speak for themselves.
And Hasbro did make an attempt to entice girls just last year. They had a big contest and fans demanded an all female combiner team. Of blocky, chunky, body positive apparently lesbian feminist fembots. Nobody bought it. Not even the hardcore fans. Girls took one look and said "ick!"

They're actually comprised of twin sisters, "lesbian" couple is Jumpstream and Dust Up (They're the two cars that form the legs as the helicopter molds make for terrible legs). Pyra Magna has a hate/ love relationship with Optimus Prime. She hates that he's Optimus and because of the war but loves/ worships the fact that he's a Prime.
The Decepitcon recolour/ slight remold of the same figures has a more interesting backstory to their characters, but that's probably because Takara Tomy worked on it. Also, they have a weapon called Judge Pickle (Megaempress's giant axe).
I would like to point out the only reason why people didn't buy Victorion was because people literally had five to even seven molds of the limbs already (Combiner wars was heavy in mold reuse for obvious reasons) and the colour scheme. It's only saving grace was another Hotspot/ Onslaught mold in the form of Pyra Magna which people liked. Well other than the hip issues due to QC.

Say this about Bob: he's inspiring this thread to teach me more about a variety of subjects than i ever thought i could know.

Like his adipose-riddled brethren Dobson and Tony Goldmark, Bob serves best as a cautionary tale.

When the new Kingsmen movie comes out, I expect Bob to complain about the American agents especially Cowboy Channing Tatum, how the English and American characters play off their cultural differences, and that the main villain is a woman.

So they'll be a diverse group from a admittedly similar group of occupations, but diverse overall in the way an ethnic group should be? And it'll explore how these people were duped into rallying behind one poor leader who only paid them lip service? Goddamn what a return to form for Star Trek! I'm really excited no-its gonna be a bunch of racist hillbillies isn't it?
Also, on another note. Did Bob just insinuate that armies used to have units of Kickboxers? Because that's fucking amazing.

I wonder how long it will take Bob to find out that there's a new female Dinobot named Slash.
Robot mode for it looks okay, didn't know it was female until I looked at the bio, but the raptor mode is terrible. Standard arm as legs for the dino mode, but the legs are tucked under the stomach so it looks really fat. It would look better as a deluxe figure as there would have been more room for engineering, but it's a scout size figure.

Before man discovered metal, we used to have large scale wars over fruit trees we passed in our nomadic journey. Just for kicks.

On a more serious topic, let's take a minute to memorialize the senseless tragedy of the 9/11 attacks the way Bob would want us to:

Inaccurate. Bob wouldn't want it shown as Islamic. It has to be Activision and EA with their evil first person shooters.

Then they would still be moderates, you sniveling, spineless ape. Now you can't wrap your thick, thumb-shaped head around the concept of time?
Hateful bile mixed with a healthy amount of projection. There's the Bob we know and love!

Funny how, like all the other low-IQ neolibs, Bob can't see the double standard at play when he sneers at people being uncomfortable around Muslim immigrants but leaps to blame everything on the Russians

A question that doesn't get asked often enough is; What would happen if somehow there were Russian refugees seeking asylum in large numbers? Poor bob's head would explode.

He'd be a magnanimous douchebag who would fight for the Russians to come here so they live in ghettos and shit.

It's odd how he thinks moderates are really swayable. He doesn't consider they might be moderate because they disagree with the radical.
Then again bobs beliefs don't mesh with radical left wingers either so god only knows what he means.

It seems to come down to skin color since Bob doesn't realize that white people can convert to Islam. But remember that isn't racial bigotry if the victim is white.

Bob weights in on the Cuphead controversy.
Tl;dw: Bob is more concerned with the writing of the video game critique than the ability to play the game. Compares video game journalism to sports commentary. Claims that the internet went and attacked Dean Takahasi over his shitty gameplay, white knights him.
