or fairly close to a light will make just enough heat for the symbol to come out. Not very close mind you but 6" is close enough for it to happen.

You got the super secret Jetfire rub sign variant...

:-?

Okay, I don't know what to tell you. Normally body heat is enough to change them. Is it really cold or really hot in the room you are in? (I think too much heat can overexpose the sign and make it dark again.) Is the plastic really cold?

Ive found on the classic's rubsigns, they are sometimes very difficult to get to reveal the faction. Never had one that dosnt actully work though.

Just another disadvantage to being a vampire. Also, those automatic doors at grocery stores won't open for you either.

And if vampires have one weakness it's black pudding fixes in the middle of the night. And if vampires have two weaknesses the other would be, STAKES THROUGH THE HEART.

Serious question do you have dry skin? I've noticed that if you have really dry skin, the rub symbol won't work. Don't know why.

What do you mean by doesn't work? Is it exposed and wont turn black again or is it black and won't expose? I have an original kup that has the autobot symbol always out and doesn't turn black.

The way you can tell a hardcore Trans fan is that they save money on buying soap, shampoo, deodorant, and toothpaste to buy a lot on ebay that contains vital pieces to Fort Max, 2 broken Shockwaves that could be used to assemble one working one, Starscream's left wing, Grimlock's sword (no bite marks), and an assortment of obscure incomplete G2 combiner bots that may or may not be KOs. Bonus if you don't pay the water bill in order to get the 90% complete Monstructor, Alligator Megatron, Pretenders Jazz lot.

That's funny! In fact, that's so funny, it's a repaint of funny. That's Funny Super-Mode.

And Swerve, you're twice-funny in this thread, too. I now have more wrinkles but less chance of dying of a stroke. Thanks!
