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.

so japanese transformers get better paint jobs and exclusives,and here in america we get a billion bumblebees and frickin hostess snacks,way to go hasbro,-fail.

I can't figure out why these look so delicious to me, but they DO. The blue coconut is getting to me, and I'm not sure why.

Yeah, but you'll also need to compare it with other similar treats, so gotta get some Little Debbie and off brand as well.

Yeah, the "Little Debby" Can be your third party, while the "Off Brand" Can be knockoffs!
you gotta try em' all for the review!

"Chocwave" is a pretty funny-yet-clever pun, however "Snowballimus" isn't really all that great. Wonder if they taste like Energon?

Dammit! I can't have coconut!

They look very very VERY tasty .Cream and Convoy (aka Prime) Melissa is very happy ."Sorry Melissa my tasty Cream got all over your face "-Convoy ."It's ok ,your treat was very tasty "- Melissa . Sorry i had too ,what do you expect from a fan of the Kiss Players .

Perhaps Unicron may lay off the planets for a while and devour some of these things...NOM NOM NOM!

"Chocwave" is just awesome. "Snowballimus" not so much. Too bad they didn't continue the trend with the Twinkies and Cup Cakes... a shame there isn't a Kup.

I have a feeling I'll be eating a lot of Chockwaves.
