For the record, Val decided not to news the Octone comic which was by far the closest to softcore porn. We Don't want to deny fans official transformers material as long as it is within the bounds of the site.
Also, most of these toys did see retail release at the both toys r us and bic camera.
Ahh, I see. That means that kids under 15 CAN buy these, and get exposed to the contents of these comics. I just checked the Octane comic and although it doesn't feature the usual underaged girls, I DOES feature female Transformers in sexual poses, and with imagery that suggests sexual acts or functions (liquids dripping from groin areas, etc). Basically, it's not suitable for kids.
I still think it's a good idea to censor rather than restrict this content. That way, people get to see the content, but if they really want it uncensored, they are welcome to pay for the toys and comics themselves.
Also, for the record, it's not just me that's voiced concern over these comics, either.

I get it. I do. But if it's too bad to news then at least post a link in the forum with an NSFW tag so those who want to see it can see it.

Takara has never ever said that these toys were for adults, and any quote they did give us said that they were these toys for children and that children was still their target demographic (they are a toy company, selling these in toy stores, this should be obvious).
If someone can find a quote from takara saying this is not the case and these are for adults only, please let us know, this would be significant news. So far it is just an unfounded notion fans started and Takara not making any changes to Trypticon, most of the TLK line and their entire Power of the Primes output means they have been and will be selling the exact same toys as Hasbro, which are undeniably kids toys aimed at kids.

That's been suggested. However, Seibertron has been pretty good with this subject. They were the first site, I think, to separate the toy and comics discussion (to keep discussions on topic), and have enacted due diligence with what content they feel is appropriate or not.
However, even if the comic discussion isn't "Newsed", there is every chance that those who are opposed to the comics will still voice their views at that thread (as is their right). It wouldn't be a "Sakamoto Fan Boys" thread, but rather, a thread for any relevant views, news or ideas regarding those comics.
Btw, did anyone notice that the Bumblebee comic had NO NAUGHTY PICTURES WHATSOEVER? Or did I miss something?

I find it absolutely incredible that you're so unaware that you are the reason for all of this. You are the one who continues to derail threads until you get what you want. You are the reason that the threads are separate. And even though you keep getting everything you want it's never enough. You just keep coming in and running things for everyone else because it offends you personally. I honestly don't think you'll be happy until the comics are completely banned from this site.

I'm sorry, I was out of line. I'm just getting a bit tired of a certain user constantly making the same arguments over and over again, in a thread that was created solely to avoid his tantrums.

Interesting stuff. I was looking on the boxes (like the one below) and couldnt find the age group. Is it written in letters or numbers, do you have an example?

I can't read Japanese but I'm pretty sure it's on the bottom of the package in a black box in the upper right corner
Shaoshao Li is surprised to be met with Spike Witwicky in the Legends World, and more so when the chairman (after telling her to dismiss any silly rumors about him being an impostor) informs her that all Transformers in this dimension will cease functioning the next day. Indeed, that day Slugslinger reveals that he has reacquired Caliburst, whose mutant ability to fire anti-electrons renders all other Transformers unconscious and frothing at the mouth. Even his fellow Targetmasters Triggerhappy and Misfire aren't spared, as Slugslinger takes the opportunity to steal Blowpipe and Aimless from them, showing no remorse for his betrayal and instead bragging that shooting people in the back is what he loves the most. Merging with a transtector rewarded to him by "Spike" for his services, Slugslinger then combines the three Targetmaster partners into a massive plasma energy gun so infused with the deadly energy that he dubs it the "Plasma Energy Chamber".
As the plasma energy emissions begin slowly disintegrating the unconscious Transformers, Shaoshao demands to know why Spike is working with a Decepticon, and he claims the Transformers must be destroyed as they're an obstacle that prevents galactic peace from ever being achieved. He notes that that Shaoshao should understand, having once hated them too, but she's moved on since then and doesn't hesitate for a second to transform into her Targetmaster suit and save Hot Rod. She is joined by fellow Targetmasters Sue, who fights for Kup, and White Lune, who now works with Blurr and fights for him too. Together, the three of them all take on Slugslinger, but he destroys their suits with a plasma energy burst. However, the energy doesn't affect the organics within, who slip past his defenses and successfully separate his head from his body and break apart the Plasma Energy Chamber. The Decepticon himself is knocked out by Caliburst's anti-electrons in the confusion, allowing Shaoshao and Hot Rod to capture and imprison him. Afterwards, Hot Rod wonders if Shaoshao is alright with defying Spike and being branded a traitor by the Galactic Peace Alliance, only for her to tell him to take the blame.
Having heard that the Legends World was created by the Zamojin, Perceptor travels to the dimension in search of his old friend, Katsu Don, whom he's lost touch with and worries about. Highbrow looks forward to investigating the dimension's mysteries together with his fellow scientist, though Perceptor's first duty is to fix up Ramhorn, injured in battle to the point where his cassette mode is beyond repair. Perceptor replaces it with a new tank mode, and while Ramhorn hates it, the scientist insists that he made the right choice giving him a more mobile altmode is better. The group is then interrupted by none other than Katsu Don, who says he's here to "take back Nijika" before tearing Perceptor's head off and running off with it. Highbrow and Perceptor's colleague Minerva are ready to make chase, but Ramhorn warns them that the Zamojin are strong and that they should bring some extra firepower in the form of Perceptor's body.
Katsu Don brings Perceptor to the headless new body of Nijika, damaged in a previous battle, and, having recalled that Perceptor's parts are compatible with hers, attaches the panicking scientist's head to it. The process is interrupted by the other Autobots, who have reconfigured Perceptor's body into its rarely seen tank mode, and a combined barrage from both it and Ramhorn distracts Katsu Don long enough for Perceptor to remove his head from Nijika. He returns it to his original body and takes aim at Katsu Don using Ramhorn's third mode, a handheld weapon, and the Zamojin retreats, swearing he will fulfill his dream of creating a full-scale Nijika someday. Admitting that he wasn't actually going to open fire on his old friend, Perceptor hopes that Katsu Don will someday, on a night of falling stars, find the right path again.
After returning to Axalon, Perceptor figures that since his head was already separated, he might as well convert it into a small robot and live a comfortable, human-sized life. Unfortunately, this makes it less comfortable for him to use his microscope mode, as he now has to stand on Minerva's head just to look into the lens.

It's also the easiest option, after all, some people seem intent to shove their morally righteous opinions rather than shutting up and moving on. Why people continue to read stuff they know they don't like is beyond me ...

I agree. It's also good to avoid using, or reading potentially abusive language contained in posts, especially when such language could be better substituted with mature or ambiguous vocabulary instead.
It's also a good idea to refrain from stating that you've ignored them, as it defeats the purpose of ignoring them (if only Facebook were so easy in that way).

See, I posted what I did in an attempt to defuse situations that were driving this thread off-topic.
You, just drove it off-topic. Please butt out when staff are doing their jobs. Go read the rules, you'll see we don't like such things.
Cheers.

I'm sure you can guess how that's going to end. It was a note for folks, it wasn't up for discussion ...

So, White Lune is now the Targetmaster partner of Blurr, evil impostor Spike is still at large (and his true identity still unknown), the Plasma Energy Chamber is (or was) now a thing in Japanese continuity prior to Beast Machines, Nijika's headless body is a repurposing of the Hasbro Titans Return Windblade body, and the Minerva seen in Perceptor's comic is indeed the fully robotic Minerva Transtector who was granted a life of her own at the end of the Masterforce cartoon and whom would go on to become a colleague of Perceptor (and Wheeljack) in the Victory cartoon.
