For some reason I've just never been able to get into the whole Transformers thing.

I'm disappointed.  I thought this was going to be a thread about the game Legend of Grimrock.

Grimlock could have been cool, like a prehistorically-themed Optimus Prime.  But they made him completely mentally handicapped: "Me Grimlock!"  Ugh.  He is probably my least favorite Transformers character.

Yeah, this is how I always felt.  I mean, I get it - dinosaurs have small brains.  I'm pretty sure that there's another way of making him seem less intelligent  though....assuming you even have to go that route.

He's not a dinosaur. He's a fucking robot.

Fuck you, he's a dinosaur, you obviously don't know about the origin of Grimlock.

You have a robot dinosaur. If you wanted to give him a monocle and make him drink tea while reciting Milton, I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be any more ridiculous than the fact that you already have a robot dinosaur. If they'd wanted to make him less dumb, I'm sure they could have found numerous ways to do that. Because, I mean, he's a fucking robot. That's a dinosaur.

You say this like it's a bad thing.

Not at all. Who doesn't like a robot dinosaur? My point, in response to and continuance of gpw's post, is simply that the choice to make him retarded was unnecessary and likely born from this being a show made for kids. If they had any desire to legitimize the character, they could have, because... he's a fucking robot. That's a dinosaur. You could say he's got equipment that amplifies his thoughts, or nanobots, or magical fucking brain parasites. Or a talking wombat penis from outer space that translates for him. None of that is harder to believe than the existence of a dinosaur-robot that talks and fights against sentient motor vehicles from another planet. Or whatever. I don't really understand the Transformers deal, as previously mentioned.

I'm not trying to be negative, merely pointing out that their choice to make him stupid was intentional. And I don't know why people do this, because stupid characters in almost anything end up being more irritating than amusing.

Fine fine. I was mostly just being a jerk.

Still, I kinda like that Grimlock was more or less retarded. It works for me the same way Minsc from Baulder's Gate did. He was already at the upper limits of ridiculous so it's not like anything he would say would or even should be taken seriously. Why not go all the way and make him a dumb brute?

I think Minsc was tolerable for me only because of the fact that he was funny. And because of the hamster. Mostly dumb characters just irritate me... but then again they usually don't do dumb characters so well as that.

Have you watched 80s transformers cartoons recently? It's all pretty dumb.

Haha, I probably watched two episodes as a kid, and I was forced to watch one of the new movies. That's basically 100% of my exposure.
