youbastards Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) Current image and quote are from "Sam Seed" in the original Drunken Master movie, one of my favorites. "youbastards" is just because it's my favorite exclaimable curse, particularly (skip to the 3:40 mark, or just enjoy the entire 6 minutes of hilarity) Edited August 5, 2010 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undeadpool Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 never even seen this thread ok well my username(which i would like to change but im not sure how i go about doing that) is because the first time i really decided to research minimates i found ironcow productions and i saw their ironcow minimate and i just thought it was wicked cool, i wasnt a big fan of cows i just really liked the robot elements so i decided to go with robomate(mate being a referance to minimates obviously) and no i had never seen lukes robomates until after i made my name(but im sure if i had id still use the name because their amazing looking) so anyway thats the origin of my not so creative name(which i would like to change, do i talk to a mod about that?) my avatar at the moment is stiltman getting his crotch exploded(i think this is when punisher killed him) i recently purchased a few stiltmen and saw this pic somewhere and had a good laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Like a lot of these stories, my name comes from my first experience online when I was 13. I think the convo went something like this: "Hey Dan, I need a cool name for my new Hotmail account?" "How about FunkGuerilla" And lo, the legend was born. Since then I've cultivated the name enough that I'd be sad to change it. Or I'm just lazy, either way. As for the Avatar, it's the funniest panel from The Goon ever. It's the perfect size and perfect randomness and I loves it. So there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Nice bit of nostalgia in here. So many names that we don't see anymore (and some that won't go away ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ivan, what's up with your avatar? Just a tight crop of my latest (Minimate-related) 3D render. Whenever I make something I really like I change my avatar to give the work a bit of promotion without spamming the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hey Ivan - a little off-topic, but i LOVE your shepard fairey - style Battlestar Minimate images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thanks SSP!!! I never even knew where it actually came from Who's in your signature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thanks SSP!!! I never even knew where it actually came from Who's in your signature? That's John Simm. He played the Master in a recent season of Doctor Who. That GIF is from a particularly dark yet funny scene in the episode "The Sound of Drums."

Mamba Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Mamba is short for Black Mamba. In a short film script I wrote, there was a character named Black Mamba who is a master assassin. And it just sounds cool. No avatar yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamfleet Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 screamfleet refers to my, large, or, well, decent size collection of starscreams from transformers. It's a fleet of starscreams, so screamfleet. Starfleet wouldn't have sounded right anyway, regardless of it being taken. The avatar is some starscreams.

Trekker 42 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 In case you guys were wondering why there's some guy in a dress as my new avatar, it's from A Very Potter Sequel where a male actor portrayed Dolores Umbridge in one of the funniest performances I've seen onstage. It's a sequel to A Very Potter Musical. Both of them are on youtube in about 20 segments each. Watch them if you like Harry Potter. They are astounding. Absolutely amazing.

DaveOMac Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well my name is Dave but the OMac came form ShaneOMac, Vince McMahoon's son. In the restaurant I worked at we all gave each other nicknames similar to a wrestler and mine just stuck. Hell I even own daveomac.com. As for my current avatar. I just love Deadpool rocking the leather jacket outfit Marty wore in Back to the Future 2. This was from Minimate Theatre #46. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I changed my avatar about two days ago yet the old one remains ......which is probably a good thing yet I know not why? The Red Indian (can I say that?) in my current one is Geronimo whose name ,amazingly enough, means in English..."he who yawns" . What a story that bloke had !

groundhog7s Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 After having my old avatar for multiple months, I've decided it was time for change. I figured what better time than to change it to correspond with my latest blog over on Crimson Monkey. And if anyone is interested in buying a bunch of Garbage Pail Kids extras, I can totally hook you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Love the garbage pail blast from the past.. looks like those are making a comeback. Vox is from a sketch comedy group my friends and I had in college called The Vox Box (voice box). My Avatar represents my happiest and saddest connection to minimates: They made Hal Jordan, but never Kyle Rayner or Alan Scott.. DC Minis died way too young.

MisterPL Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I just added the avatar I use at work on iChat; the black box. It just represents my general disposition. I usually don't have an avatar but this one suits me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havok Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I like Havok from X-Men. Kind of obvious i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well, mine's Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I particularly liked the 'wtf' look she gave off in that episode. Ironically enough TM2 Megatron posts in the same thread over at the AllSpark all the time, and he has(had) a Twilight avatar as well, so we're constantly thinking we're eachother. "What? I don't remember say that. oh. it's the other TM2." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
