  • Corollary: If enough people complain, they'll bring you back and piss off the continuity-worshipping fan-boys. Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • Murphy's Law of Acceptable Disguise: All good altmodes are taken. Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • Just because you have a ten in one of your stats doesn't mean some leader toy can't pulverize you with its 10+ stat. Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • Cybertronian Marksmanship is an oxymoron. Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • Murphy's Cybertron Blues T-Shirt Analogy: My family was killed in the Great War that has lasted for millions of years, my city got burned down, Decepticons ripped me to pieces, Unicron attempted to eat my home world, and all I got was this stinking Autobot sigil burned onto my chest. Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • Shoot them all, let Primus sort them out. Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • If you have an aerial altmode and take to the sky, someone will hit you with an EMP blast. Sent by Robert Mueller.

  • If your leader carries a big cannon on his right arm, respectfully request a transfer. Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • Even if you wield the Matrix, end the war, and save the universe a few times, there'll still be a writer out there who will see to it that you'll be remembered for that one horrible story you were in. Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • The typical job interview will begin with "So, what cultural stereotype do you represent?" Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • Corollary: There are no original characters, just stereotypes that have yet to become prominent. Sent by Robert Mueller.
  • The more powerful your altmode, the longer and easier it will be to interrupt your transformation. Sent by Robert Mueller.
