OK, these are admittedly a few years old, but I thought the board might get a chuckle out of them...after my divorce and relocation, I got bored one day while unpacking and started snapping some photo comics of my TFs and a few other toys. Due to my camera dying, I wasn't able to shoot more at the time, but I plan on returning to this soon.

Armada Supercon Prime was the first Optimus Prime figure I was able to buy off the rack new, so I'll always have a soft spot for the bendy little gump...however, for some reason, he ended up developing something of a Napoleon Complex in these strips.

No, my Cybertron Prime isn't mis-transformed. I just prefer him with the mask up...and with big feet.

...seriously, they could have at least made him a friggin' Voyager class.

Napoleon Prime may have been my first "new-off-the-rack" Prime, but the first Prime I ever bought was a beat-the-Hell-up Powermaster Brickimus Prime at a Star Trek convention back in the early 90's. He still holds a place in my heart.

...yes, I KNOW his name is actually "Repugnus." I had a lot on my mind, alright?

Again, I don't know what it says about my mindeset that these toys without Tech Spec bios of their own developed the way they did. For some reason, however, Universe Repugnus and Energon Cruel-Lock ended up as my main characters in this nonsense, as well as inexplicably best friends.

Yes, I DO love "The Venture Brothers," how could you guess?

OK, so I thought Universe Overbite was a pirate. The fact that he's originally the BWII "gay prison" Starscream was an honest coincidence.

Ironically, my collection of "evil Primes" now outnumbers the good ones by a notable margin.

If I could go back and redo this, I'd rearrange the positioning of the word bubbles in panel 2 to be less confusing.

This is my favorite of these strips. As you might be able to tell, I didn't go with the Furman version of the Dinobots, by the way.

I was going somewhere with this, but I'll be damned if I can remember where now...

Ever notice how many cranky ancient Autobots there are? Might be why the 'cons are so popular...none of them ever live to old age.

BTW, Burgess Meredith in "Grumpy Old Men" is friggin' hilarious.

Great stuff! Some really funny stuff in there!
