that's awesome Zag! Looking forward to the new movie??
Um... no, not really. After witnessing the appalling travesties that were
Revenge of the Fallen
and
Dark of the Moon
, I don't have much faith in Part 4 being all that great. Or even halfway decent for that matter. I must admit, however, that my reaction to the trailers and spots for
Age of Extinction
I saw on YouTube was, "Wow, this one looks like it won't be nearly as sh*tty as the last two." So maybe there's some hope after all.

SUPER KAWAII DESU HAPPY FUN TIME!!!
Wait a minute. Do I see... Optimus nipples?
Oh, didn't you know? That's a prototype tie-in toy for the fifth
TransFormers
movie, which will be directed by Joel Schumacher.
BTW If you think
that's
provocative, check out this screenshot from
Autobots Gone Wild
:
You don't even have to bribe him with those stupid plastic beads to get him to do this.
And here he is with another "flash":
That's a bad touch... a VERY bad touch indeed.
ANYhoo, I just ordered a couple new Optimoid entities that are expected to arrive later this week.
Catch y'all then... if not sooner.

WHAT'S THIS?! You had several opportunities to pick up one of those bad boys, but never did?!
And you call yourself a TransFormers fan?! You phoney fair-weather types make me sick! How do you even sleep at night with the shame you bear every single minute of your life?!
20th Anniversary Master Piece Optimus Prime/Convoy is only the greatest TransFormer toy ever made! Well, okay, the
second
-greatest behind the original G1 Optimus Prime toy! Especially the Japanese release with the longer stacks, more chromed bits, and other cool stuff like a certain super-mega-awesome Japan-exclusive accessory! You know what: as soon as I get my home internet service back up in a couple days, I'm gonna show you just what you missed out on, just to make you feel even more guilty than you do right now... and deservedly so.
Until then: hugs and kisses!
LoveUbye

Impressive debate on the defense of ownership for Masterpiece Optimus Prime. I have always defended that I need to complete my G1 collection first, before jumping into those bigger MP versions. My buddy was all psyched when I pointed out the new TransFans 3rd-party MP Dinobot Slag. He asked me if I was going to grab it. I have a really HARD time spending $200 on a non-Takara TF, especially when I don't own any of the G1 Dinobots. As for Optimus, I could have gotten a Toys R' Us version or a Walmart version. I have always held more desire to own the Masterpiece Megatron though. That way I could physically compare the scale of Megatron in P-38 mode between his G1, MP, and an actual Walther P-38.

Hello again,
I considered grabbing the MP Megatron, but I didn't really dig the thin legs in robot mode. Otherwise, he looks reasonably solid. Besides, collecting just Optimus stuff is enough of a financial burden.
It also didn't help that, due to U.S. federal law making it illegal to distribute or sell realistic-looking toy guns, had I bought it, the seller would have been forced to super-glue an orange safety tip plug into the end of the barrel. Thanks, but no thanks...
ANYhoo, you know what time it is? It's PRIME TIME of course! Which I can now keep better track of with this clock and transformable wristwatch combo I grabbed a few days ago:
But that's not all; my Amazon order came in today...
Holy crapballs, what could be in there?!
Oh, the suspense...
AW H3LLZ Y3AH!!! Got the
TransFormers 4
Leader-Class Optie...
...aaaaand the Voyager-class "evasion mode" version that transforms into the G1-style non-flamey cab-over rig that us children-of-the-80s all know and love!
I'm guessing the appearance of cab-over Optiumus was the result of Michael Bay finally caving to the incessant browbeating from bitchy purist fans who wanted to see more of the G1-style designs in the live-action flicks. I mean, they could've focused their collective anger at the awful scripts of the last two movies more than the robot designs, but where's the fun in that? Way to keep your priorities in order, fanbase...
On another note: I'll likely catch
TransFormers 4
some time next week. Sadly, I don't have very high expectations; if it ends up not being as crappy as
Revenge of the Fallen
or
Dark of the Moon
, I'll be somewhat happy... I guess.
All right, enough boring nonsense; I'll leave y'all to your inadequate and inferior G.I. Joes, Masters of the Universe, and Ninja Turtles...

You know what else is awesome about him? Just about everything, that's what!
Hey, what's that behind Optie there? Does that look like... a trailer?
That's right: not willing to settle for just the rig, Japan got the whole kit 'n' kaboodle!
You've just seen the biggest transformable Optimus Prime toy, now take a gander at the smallest one:
Say, that little guy looks familiar, doesn't he.
Another Japan exclusive, the Smallest TransFormers toys were blind-boxed, with the trailer a rare chase piece. The box is a custom-made piece I bought on eBay.

That trailer is truly a sight to behold. Thats MP-01? Not MP-10? Either way, a nice representation of a 1980 Freightliner COE.
I am never against spending a half hour or so, doing something I found impossible at age 5, so I grabbed these from Walmart yesterday:
I wanted the Guardians of the Galaxy set mostly for the Groot and Rocket Raccoon minifigs.
I was more stoked to get this set though:
Photobomb courtesy of Francine. This set rocks. I love the pink and purple Sentinel. Blackbird AKA X-Jet is pretty decent but I felt I could have been done a little better. Its lack of any kind of landing gear kinda bugs me.

It's MP-1 with a separately-packaged trailer. They did release both together as a "Perfect Convoy" set, designated MP-4. The trailer is the 2nd-edition; the 1st edition was styled after the G1 'toon as opposed to the original G1 toy. I preferred the look of the 2nd edition version, so that's the one I picked up.
Sadly, I didn't find out about the MP-10 until well after it was released, and now it's too far out of my budget. Otherwise, I'd have definitely added it to my menagerie.
Speaking of which: I picked up a new mini-Optie for the big guy to build.

I would like to upgrade my G1 Optimus at some point. I got the 25th anniversary version with original smokestacks added. Not a fan of the colors though.

These were cheap so I grabbed them, while grocery shopping at my local friendly-Canadian, Save-On foods:
