You know that old game "Rockem Sockem Robots"? Yeah, this is an updated version with Optimus and Megatron as the figures.

From the looks of the picture, it appears that it is Optimus fighting Sauron from Lord of the Rings.

oooo I wanna set.
IMO, Megatron looks like C3-PO

All the same, I always wanted rockem sockem robots. This version will do fine.
