I would totally buy Devas-Tater if his limbs and bits had little wheels so they could also function as construction vehicles, but it would be waaay over the MPH budget sadly. In the meantime, Optimash Prime will do nicely.

If we're rolling with bad jokes, how about Fry-Lynx? Sourscream? Alpha Frion?

We need to have a sense of humour to live here.

I like new members who can be funny in Post #1. Welcome aboard!

This toy looks cute. I'll buy it for someone. Someone who just loves potatoes.

That would be entertaining... Did you ever see the "Married with Children..." episode(s) where they went to England? That would be me. Out of place, out of class...

Seconded! Welcome aboard!

I'm surprised to see this guy out so soon, especially here in Canada - usually we have to wait an extra month to get the new stuff, fun to be the first every now and again!

This and the Plush Prime are about the only Transformers related Items that my GF has ever wanteed more than I do.
Dont get me wrong I really want them too, but when I toild her the Plushies were available in New Zealand she flipped coz she knows they'll be in Australia soon.
I'll have to tell her to keep her eyes open for him in the next month or so...

I really thought Hash-tro Train would have gotten more of a response.

I spoke with a manager at Toys-R-Us here in Phoenix, and he said that he has seen them in the store. They only get a few at a time though. He was certain that they are on shelf to buy though. He suggested I call on Sat to check if they have some in on the next truck.

Yeah, I'd like to see some more as well. My son loves his Spider-Spud, and I am sure he will like OM.
