Wait, has he not been sighted yet? If so, I saw him in a Toy R Us a few days back along with 'Bee, Heatwave, Electronic Heatwave and Chase, and the 'Bee battle station thing. Should have picked up Prime... I decided to pick up Ultimate Prime though.

Oh, Optimus, how humble you are. :lol:

I'm gonna have to start watching more of these Prime Reviews. These are just too funny.

"I am Awesomus Prime!" :G2BOT:

And in the review of The Motor Master: "I am Optimus Prime, and this is the review of Not Me."

Thanks! Believe it or not, every review is completely improvised. I only edit for time and leave everything else in, even the screw-ups!

If
Classics = Neo-G1
Animated = Neo-Rescue-bots?

Seriously, this looks like a step of devolution from Animated.

This is less related to Animated than it it to Playskool Go-Bots.

Insidious is not rated R!

If you're talking about the video I made, you should understand that I'm talking about the films I did the previews for ON the Insidious DVD as well. I was just making a general warning that non of the movies I worked on are for kids and I have a lot of kids that watche my videos but yes, you are correct, I was wrong about the rating for Insidious itself. Sorry. Kind of random that you post about it here though.

I loved the review for this. They finally stocked some at the local Wal-Mart so I grabbed one. Really cool toy. Picked up another for a Christmas gift for someone. I think kids especially will really like these and they do seem sturdy, which is always a plus.

I had no choice but to buy it at double the price on Ebay. That idiot seller sent it to me in an envelope! Of course, the packaging was totally crushed. :-x

Luckily for him, I was going to rip that sucker out anyway, and the toy itself was miraculously undamaged.

Anyway, on with the toy itself. THIS THING IS PURE GENIOUS! I mean, how cool a cartoony G1 hommage can be?

My only concern is the transformation. Sure, he instantly go from vehicle to robot mode. But a little tyke would need four hands to hold the head and arms down while pulling back his legs, because said arms and head keep popping up.
Wait...
Duh, I'm supposed to pull back the legs FIRST. #-o
