I say a bit of both.
No...I take that back. Reynolds stole Cullen's hat...
Pretty cool though. Wish I could get this.

I'll be lucky if I get one! ROFLMAO
Only a couple of these get made since they are "Lucky Draw". I'm just glad I won Pretender Motormaster and Toiletbot last year, lol.

Fender, if you win the entire set again, I'm crying foul, finding a MISB ROTF Bludgeon, and bashing your skull in with him...
I am *still* envious of you winning those buggers...

-A little off topic, and I don't know if you recall this; but I used to chat with you a little over on Facebook a few years back. I was curious to know if Teletran-1 was up and running.
Also, if you're up for it, I might recommend bringing your custom Slayer RID Prime figure for the Art Contest! -Even if you didn't bring it to enter into the contest, I'd love to see it! It's a really memorable custom!

INDEED IT DOES! It doesn't fit perfectly in robot or vehicle mode, but with a partial transformation (extending the legs from vehicle mode) does make the figure fit inside. Glad to hear that you're coming Optimus!
