That's the pic determined to be a punk'd job...

Although I found the pics that were being referenced:
takara-tomy-super-gt-optimus-prime-t90230s80.php#p1432300

And they were right, the green one is a bit Wheeljacky...thank goodness they didn't actually do that and give it a proper head or I mighta been tempted to drop the $100+ on it. Kinda hilarious if that's the supposed Fort Max fig. But I feel the same about this kind of shit as I do over-saturated, over-priced 3rd Party product...I'm happy when they make it an easy pass.

Nemesis Prime's Arms Micron is a sawshark. A lousy one, yes, but a sawshark.

We're still getting Air Raid from Hasbro. It's just that Hasbro renamed the Fireflight toy "Air Raid", so our Air Raid will have Fireflight colors. :BANG_HEAD:

Hey Jon, there's a way to make GDO Generations Springer look better from the waist down, but it sacrifices some of the figure's stability (photo taken by user Walky on Allspark.com):

When eating planets alone isn't enough to satisfy the Chaos Bringer's hunger, Unicron comes to Earth to fill up on McDonald's. McDonald's golden arches will light our darkest hour (when the Chaos Bringer would not share) by clogging his arteries, raising his blood pressure, and giving him diabetes.

Listening right now :) I like how Jon explained the reasoning behind the MECH episodes. It kind of helped me like those episodes a bit more; i still dislike them, but less so

Jon3point0, the GDO Laserbeak is awesome! You can get a pretty descent robotic bird out of him to be his bot mode. His jet mode kinda resembles his Cybertronian mode from MTMTE part one.

Motto: "Chaos... is coming!..."
Got myself a TRU MP Optimus Prime and I've been torn on whether or not to get the Takara version. Both are really good and have reasons to buy each. Both have little details that make me want the other version. If I could afford to, I would create a mash up of the best possible MP Prime. Obviously this is not feasible for me and the Hasbro version is much less expensive. I have sorta talked myself into keeping this one and saving myself some cash. He's certainly good enough for what I need from him. Podcast thoughts?
:BOT:

::EDIT::
The iGear specialists, yeah those panels are shit. I also don't know where to put the figures. They're far too large to be Classics and I don't need MP Ironhide or Ratchet. That's where they'd fit best. They're nice but I actually had some buyer remorse over them.
