Hope you have fun with the big boss bot
Well, it was an HTS delivery so that's why I was so surprised. I've never had a a package from them take less than 5 days. I think?

I know I said the Beast Hunt was "over", but I am really tempted to pick up Black Lio Convoy....if he was $50 or less, it'd be a no-brainer. Do you have him, Cobbes? Or at least the original, white lion incarnation?
I have the OG white version, but his lion face had an encounter with a candle flame long ago and is now dripping off his skull.
As Cary calls him,
Sewing with Nancy.
There is another kick ass Lio Convoy though. More on that in a minute!

What do you Think Cobro?
Well, D! Lemme tell ya!
I don't know if I was in a funk-a-dee mood when I opened him, I was pretty dang tired, but I just didn't feel THAT excitement. Like the excitement I felt when I tore into Nemesis Prime, or some other things I've gotten recently. And as I started to play I was a little underwhelmed by Ape-o-tron's use of the evolution gimmick.
But, as I sat and played with him to shoot these shots I started to warn up to him. My head started to make up little stories of how and why. I got to thinking about way back, there was at time when Bruce Banner and the Hulk were separated. Remember grey Hulk? What if through some wired Beast Machiney sci-fi munblety jumb The bot, Optimus, was separated from the beast, Primal?
They were two separate entities, but to make use of their full might, they had to combine together. Optimus still maintained a mechanical alt mode, the surf board space log, while Primal contained nothing but the raw strength and fierce energy of the beast. Optimus was made of the stuff Optimus is always made of. Heroism, reasoning, and compassion for all life. Primal was pure rage and brute strength. PRIMAL SMASH! Kind of a Jekyll and Hyde scenario.
But when the hour grows dark, through the power of the Matrix, the two combine them selfs and their skills to optimize both sides of the coin.
NOW WE'RE GETTIN' SOMEWHERE!!!
Now I'm into this toy!
Optimus alone is a pretty week toy, but he is just one part of the bigger picture. Not a terrible action figure, but no Nemesis Pax.
Wielding those blasters as billy clubs is stretching it, even for me. So I turned to what was buried in the past to seed the future.
Now we're doing it!
Best of both worlds!
Obligatory Collect-O-Tron lion ride.
Hey big guy..... The sun's gettin' real low.
Chest thumpin'.

You know straight out of the gate, I LOVED these accessories. The crown is dope, and the mace is SMASHTACULAR!
King of the Jungle!
Joined by a fellow Prime to lay waste to any Deceptichump who can't come correct.
I think part of my hang up came from knowing almost immediately that this Op Op couldn't even hold a torch to the awesomeness that is the original Transmetal toy, but given a minute and a sprinkling of head canon, I turned around real quick. Boil it all down to brass tacks and you're left with a real fun toy!
And I haven't even broken out the throne!
