Fantastic gift!

I gave not a single hint to my wife regarding what to get me. She still did a great job though.

I got a nice toolbox for my guitar fixing tools. Fender, Marshall and Gibson stickers and my band's old logo (SWAGE), all of which will be applied to the new box.

If I were to ask anyone around me about buying me a Transformer for any occasion, there'd be panic, eye-rolling, excuses and usually result in 'you get it, I'll pay you back'.

This is a strange new time for me. As I am getting older, peeps are more willing to indulge my hobby. My wifes side of the family DEMANDS that we make a list. We are headed there for 2nd Crimbo on New Years Eve so there may be some more robots around the bend.

My smart smart wifey free styled the Mythology book. Totally awesome. My 3 year old daughter picked out Legions Strongarm and the Legos for me with no coaching

.

My mother on the other hand, is always like, "I just don't know why you need all these toys". The irony? She collects like 50 different things, her father collected and built model trains. She wonders where I get it. Anyway, she did give me two really nice kitchen knives and this amazing framed piece of art.

This is an original illustration by an artist who was a friend and illustrator along side my Dad at Hallmark Cards.
So, I'm not complaining Mom.

The box is open and pretty beat, but all the pieces are there and Shockwave is in great shape. I don't know how he did it, but it's awesome.

And the shoulder joints. Don't leave him in gun mode.

I know about the hose. What is the problem with the shoulder joints?

What's the problem with Shockwave's shoulders?
