ok, this is getting ridiculas, but just try and stop me from stockpiling up on Chocwave and Snoballimus Prime treats! Want!
Question though, why can't the find a similarly colored treat for sentinel? Like, IDK, use red snowballs.

Oh my Land!

snoballimus is a terrible terrible thing Haha. Sounds like a B-movie porno name.

Chocwave.. awesome.


I'm buying a set to keep MISB...



































Wait for it..

I must have Chockwave and Snoballimus!

Yeah, I'll be getting the Optimus ones for sure, and will eat them while watching DOTM.

I love me some snowballs. Must get a box of these.

I don't ever buy treats like these. Not that I don't like them, they're delicious ... just gotta watch the waistline. But you know what? I'll use this as an excuse to have a box in the cupboard. You know, to "review" these for Seibertron.com. Right?

Wow this was just unforeseeable! I would have expected gummies or even a cereal! How about a tasty cereal that tastes like fruit loops or trix, or allspark oats with marshmallow ? Mmmmm Cybertronian cereal... Maybe I too will buy one of each and open it in another 25 years to celebrate 50 years of Transformers...

Coconut!!!?? Blech!

They probably won't sell these where I live, but I'd get some Chocwaves, probably not the Snoballmuses because of the coconut which...I'm not a fan of. <=I

Oh yeah...we never had Transformers cereal have we (The canceled G1 cereal doesn't count <;I)? jeez if the movie line couldn't make that happen then I don't think we're getting it anytime soon. I'd totally buy a few boxes of your idea though, it sounds ace.
