For those of you wondering what the mysterious "Me Grimlock" forum on Transformers Club.com is, the cat is out of the bag.

Pete@Botcon has posted a long update regarding the new feature for Transformers Collectors Club Members.

Basically, the Collectors Club will be sending a Classic Grimlock figure around the country to individual Collectors Club members. The members who want to participate need to contact pete@botcon.com with their name and address that they wish Grimlock to be sent to.

The grand idea behind this is to piece together a photo journal of Grimlock's travels across the country. Each member who receives Grimlock is expected to take him "sight-seeing" and get plenty of pictures of area attractions with the Club Member and Grimlock.

For more details regarding "Me Grimlock", go to Transformers Club.com and log in to the "Members Only" Section.

Neat-o!
Reminds me of Ross Noble's pants around Australia journey in which he sent a pair of his pants, yes that's right, around Australia.

Why does this smack of Travelocity's "Roaming Gnome?"

Surely you can't be suggesting that the TF fan club is only dimly aware of other nations!

Yep. Someone made the suggestion of using Keychain Bumblebee. I can't remember why, though.

Just sent in my email to Pete.
I'm gonna take Grimmy to see the worlds largest...ahh you'll have to wait and see.
Here's a hint though: it's been in the Guiness Book of World Records since 1995.

However, since you have to be a club member to participate, they can always revoke your membership.....
