Holly Hobbie is going DOWN!

Prime looks brand new because he is! I just picked him up yesterday. It's the limited edition 20th Anniversary Edition Optimus Prime. This is the first and only Optimus Prime made to look as much like the cartoon version of Optimus Prime as possible. The original figure didn't look anywhere near this good, is only half the size, doesn't come close to having the level of detail this one does and doesn't have 1/10 the articulation. And yes, it transforms into a truck!

I had a small collection of Transformers, but never had Optimus or Megatron or any of the other larger figures because they were too expensive. This edition is pretty pricy too, so when I saw this figure I wanted to check it out but I wasn't going to buy it. My wife is so great, she just looked at it and said "That's cool, why don't you get it?" So I did!

Hey, I'm glad your ROM still works. I'll say it again, that is one cool figure!

Trace takes the Optimus Prime doll and sits it down in the Gazebo with her Holly Hobbie doll.
"Well, hello, Mr. Prime! So lovely to have you back for tea!"

"Thank you, Miss Hobbie. Your hospitality is impeccable."

"It must be nice to sit down to a quiet cup of tea after a day of destroying Decepticons and saving the world."

"Oh, yes. And may I say, these lady fingers are delightful."

"I made them myself."

"You didn't!"

"Oh, yes. Please do try the cucumber sandwiches! You know, they are Rachet's favorite."

Armatron enters with a tray carrying more tea. The lovely party continues unabated.

A freind had the Armitron, and I would ask him to bring it along every time he came over. That was lots of fun. Didn't they make a mobile version (one with wheels) sometime later? I agree with Dave about the older, cool toys, but some of the new stuff, like the interactive R2-D2, blows away the toys from the 80's. I'm getting hooked on the Transformers Alienators, and considered getting the Optimus Prime 20th Anniversary (there was one left at the local Toys R Us).
Trace-hilarious...reminds me of growing up with my sisters. Sometimes their Barbies would invite my GI Joe and Big Jim over for tea, you know, after battling the forces of evil & stuff.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaa haaa!

Holy cow - THAT was funny!

...

BUT VERY WRONG!

You just can't go playing all nicey-nice with cool ACTION FIGURES like that!

This is an awful breach of toy etiquette

Optimus Prime drinks NOT tea, he drinketh high grade, synthetic motor oil-eth-eth-ishist-eth.

Sorry about that, not sure where-est my old English came from, it just came out that way.

Back to action figure etiquette and protocols.

Hmmm...


Ok, I can see it's time to bring in the cavalry!

[enter "Toy Story" mode]

** switches on ROM and takes a step back **

** ROM's eyes light up with, glowing an eerie, dead-cold red **
- abdominal lights sequencing back and forth
- robotic pulse... pulsating
- electronic breathing commencing

ROM scans the area, noting the gazebo tea party.

His eyes lock on the target.

Backpack rocket ignites...

ROM is thrust in to the air with the booming force of his rocket pack.

The tea glasses in the gazebo start to clatter from the approaching force of ROM's rockets.

The powerful force of ROM's rocket packs generates a strong wind that disrupts small objects as he approaches the gazebo for landing.

BAM!

The ground shakes and rumbles as the mighty ROM makes his landing just inches away from the gazebo play set.

He stands near the gazebo, towering over the others, with a menacing look in his glowing red eyes.

The whole gazebo quakes as ROM steps closer and stops in front of Holly Hobbie.

ROM looks down at the much smaller Holly doll, his powerful red glowing eyes beaming energy on her small face.

The small and meager Holly Hobbie sits in the shadow of the giant, robotic action figure.

It grows quiet.

Holly Hobbie looks up at the mighty, mechanical man, his eyes glowing red...

Oh yes... it is most certainly doom for Holly Hobbie and her little tea party...

ROM is SURE to crush them along with the gazebo...

Hi ROM. Would you like some tea?

Sure. I could use some nice hot tea. Could you top mine off with some fresh motor oil please?

Why sure Here you go.

Thank you.

Uh.... ??

I just love your eyes. Are they naturally red like that?

Why yes they are. ** blushes ** Thanks!

What's going on? ...

Why don't you have a seat near Mr. Prime over here?

Why thank you. My rocket packs need some recharging and I could use some relaxation.

Hi ROM. That was one heck of an entrance!

Hey Optimus. How have you been?

Oh I've been busy. You know, one minute I'm a truck speeding down the road, the next minute I'm a transforming robotic protector of good, from the evil clutches of the Deceptigons.

How's your tea guys, would you like some more?

I'm good, thank you.

I had the Armtron. My parents got it at RS for christmas. I played with it and my starwars/g.i. joe guys. It was a great toy and it was built to last (or at least mine did).

You never know what you have til you get rid of it. I sold mine at a yard sale we had (I was a dumb kid). A week later I found a dead snake that I was scared to pick up and I really would of had fun taking it out in the woods to play around with the dead snake without touching it (it was a just a harmless grass snake).

Why don't they make toys like that anymore? I mean, that durable. I must have droped it several thousand times because I was and still am a clumbzy fellow.

It really would have become handy if I found wee little nuke power core and needed to pick it up... lol

What a great toy.where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Trace gives Todd a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig smooch!

Gee, Todd, you look good in red!

Okay, putting the gazebo away. Have fun with your boy toys. I mean...toys, boys.

I've never laughed so hard reading a thread here... *wipes tears from eyes* Classic... simply classic!

Oh don't you even dare ED-209!
