Btw you're Welcome for the Welcome. As I see you are a Rodimus fan. Can I ask why?


Hot Rod/Rodimus has always been my favourite character... I watched the **** out of TF: The Movie when I was a kid(I still watch it a lot :grin: ) and I really liked the Rodimus Prime toy cos he looked a lot more like the cartoon than many of my transformers.


Welcome!!

He likes Hot Rod/Rodimus because he killed Prime :P So like PQP said, feel free to tease the crap out of him :grin:


How about I warn him that in my fiction that Rodimus Passes the matrix to my charector when my charector is old enough and is high enough in rank to be the bearer and Prime. Making Rodimus a bridge Prime not a true one.

The hunting is pretty good useally. This year I dont know how it will be this year because of the drought we had this summer a lot of animals die just because of the heat and lack of water. Our water levels this year were low for the lakes even was lower than normal.

Did I mention Rodimus is jelus of the popularity of Sky and this starts a small civil war within the autobots and thouse who were for Prime's wishes begin plans to impeach him.

Hey ever thought of doing this since Michigan is very much a place you would find giant alien robots making a websight were we fake evidence of them here. Post pictures of huge foot prints and trees pushed down?

West Lansing Wal-Mart had a ton of older deluxes today. They also had 3x Dropkick, 3x Rescue Ratchet and 3x Thundercracker.

I picked up a 2nd Thundercracker and left everything else.

I used that HTS promo code on a ton of Star Cases. Great deal with the 25% off and free shipping.

The Star Cases work perfectly for the 25th GI Joe figures too in case anyone is interested.

Actually I meant toy hunting :grin:

Thanks to Highbeam, Tfpredaking and I are proud owners of Rescue Ratchet! thanks for posting the siting!

There were still two Thundercrackers at the Bellville walmart.. I would have bought one, but PQP picked one up for me earlier in the day :grin:

I did see two Evolution of a Hero two packs at the Ann Arbor/Saline Road Target. There is one left. There is another waiting to be traded to PQP for said Thundercracker :grin:

My friend and I went to Connor O'Neil's in AA tonight. I was telling him about Magner's Cider I had over in Ireland. It was really loud in there and he thought I said Magnus Cider. We decided we should brew a beer called Magnus. Then we could have the Premium brew of that beer, Ultra Magnus! Observe this commercial:

Can't deal with that now? Have a cool pint of Ultra Magnus!

Feeling like you're being pulled in four different directions? Sweep that feeling away with a smooth pint of Ultra Magnus! :grin:

sorry, I know that's pretty bad, but we thought it was funny :grin:

We would also have our German recipe.. Magnus Lenscherr :P

Any ideas? Oh ****, should I have asked? Anyway, tons of family still live there (Ludington)and my dad is Spartan alum, gramps was a wolverine. Party on people, party on. :PEACE:

Yeah, a few of us :grin:

I actually work at a comic shop, and RC13 actually lives at it :P

I know some of the other people read comics as well, but as for RC13 and I, I average about 25 books a week while RC13 isn't too far behind. I read everything from Marvel, DC and Indy titles with my favorites currently being Iron Man, the Boys, Mouse Guard, Exterminators, JSA, anything Sinestro Corps related and of course TRANSFORMERS BABY 8)

What are you into?

Oh yeah, big thanks to Highbeam for the Rescue Ratchet I now own :D

It came via RC13 shipping and handling. Its a premium service that delivers within an hour of purchase directly to your current location. Its really SWEET :P

Nice haul JT!!

They'll be here soon enough. TF Animated is going to be set in a Detroit of the not-too-distant future. Plus, parts of the movie were filmed downtown.

Sky Glory of iacon wrote:Anyone here into comic collecting?

I am. Very much so. I'm mostly DC with a few indy titles here and there. I also work at a comic store (kind of).

skyblast wrote:Man, you guys know how to freakin party!!! I've gotta find some way to spruce things up where I live. Any ideas? Oh ****, should I have asked?

I think that's mostly because some of us have been here since the beginning of recorded history and because most of us have met in person. Most of us have met because we have these little comic and toy conventions about once a month in a relatively central location so they've become an unformal Michiganders get together.
