"Nerd News, Humor, and Self-Loathing"Topless Robot (which, despite the name, is usuallysafe-for-work) is a blog dedicated to nerdy interests, run by Rob Bricken, a former writer for ToyFare, Anime Insider and Anime News Network. The site has become well known for its daily lists, entertaining contests which get hundreds of entries, and the notorious Fan Fiction Fridays, in which Rob gives the MST3K treatment to incredibly awful fanfic.Needs More Love, and Needs Wiki Magic Love.
After Transformers: Dark Of The Moon came out and was proven to be a very bad movie but not a wretched cinematic atrocity (according to Rob), Bay and his movies just became a punching bag for Rob rather than a satanic abomination that must be wiped off the face of this earth.
... and then came Aliengate, after which Rob proclaimed Bay as Nerd Satan.
Brain Bleach: Chances are you'll need it on Fan Fiction Friday.
That applies to Transformers as well, although he does seem to like Beast Wars and admits he doesn't have any opinion on Transformers Animated because he never watched it. The live-action filmsare another story. He also isn't too fond of Transformers Prime, but he stated in a later post that it was more disappointment than outright hate, and in a LATER post, he admitted that, while he still doesn't like it, that he can see why others do.
Sanity Slippage: When reading the more horrific FFF entries, Rob tends to lose all coherent thought and just spam Toht/Scanners pictures, with the occasional "WHY GOD WHY?" and "I Need a Freaking Drink" comment.
When in early 2011 he finally got around to the infamous FFVII fic "Beast & The Harlots", he went from typing using Toht's picture with the caption "HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE" in one section to "HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE" in a later one. And yes, the story really is that bad.
The entire latter half of the MSTing of MILF from UNCLE consists almost entirely of Toht Faces (understandable, since it combined Angry Beavers with Parental Incest). He finally went mad from the revelation upon realising that the author was too busy masturbating to complete the story and spammed almost a dozen of them.
Schmuck Bait: Admit it, the way in which Rob introduces "The Other Story" (real title "How Videl Discovered Her Abortion Fetish") just makes you want to read it even more.
Serious Business: The competition in the weekly T-shirt contests can get... intense.
