Meeting of the Primes

"Meeting of the Primes"
We are secure in our dorkdom; which is why every time we obtain a new Optimus Prime, we have a ritual "meeting of the Primes". Included in this ritual and not pictured is Vector Prime…. and the unfortunate Rodimus. During this ritual each of the Primes "vocally" introduce themselves. "Hello, I am Optimus Prime", …. I would continue, but these meetings are sacred. I can tell you…the newbie gets the Honor of killing Rodimus Prime. Maybe we will add Geriatric Pri… I mean Sentinal Prime.


The Meeting of the Primes. Hello I am Optimus Prime. Hello, I too am Optimus Prime. Well Hello, I am Optimus Prime. Hello to you, I am Tonka Toy Prime. Hello, I am Fire Convoy Prime. Why Hello, I am Armada Prime. I say Good Day Sah, I am Power Master Prime. Hey tall I'm Lumberjack Prime. Hello, I am Uncombined For Wars Prime. Well Hello, I am Ice Age Prime. Hi I am Hollywood Prime. Hello Hollywood Prime, I am Prime Prime. G'day I am Vector Prime. Hi guys, I'm Rodimus! Wait....who the heck invited him???

"You still want to save your precious humans Optimus?"

 Limited Edition Seacons "Piranacon"
This Transformer figure is an awesome combiner. He was never as popular as Devastator, Bruticus, or Superion; but still awesome. Great figure at a great price at BBTS, wish the chest plate held on better, but otherwise outstanding.

As a note, even with him being true to Generation 1, the colors do make him look like a ghetto Transformer. You know, the ones found at your local Dollar G.

Transformers Generations Wheeljack

Wheeljack
I came back and picked Wheeljack up, after purchasing Warpath. I never owned this one as a kid, so didn't have a lot of attachment to him. Beautiful alt mode. Robot mode seems stubby to me as did the Gen 1 counterpart, but still a gorgeous rendition. If you are Wheeljack fan he should definately be in your collection.

Shockwave is NoT here…Edit Sold

Well I saw this thing falling out of the sky,
It had One big gun and one big eye.
I shook in my boots and I said OOOooww EEEee!
It looks like a purple Transformer to me.

Yes, I got my hands on one!
 Love the robot mode….but like most movie villians, alt mode looks like a glob of melted plastic. Why???? …and ultimately that is why I sold him.

On the "Warpath" hunting


Transformers Generations Warpath 

 Let the jealousy begin…. I did not think we would be able to find one due to a close time of release to DOTM, but we did. In fact we found two, but only bought one… we left the other for a very fortunate kid, hopefully. Deluxe class Warpath was worth the wait, he is among the favorites.
 I always loved the minibots. Here's hoping for a "Deluxe Class" Cosmos.
 This has to be one of the best tank conversions I have seen from Hasbro. I've alway had a problem with a Transformer that is built like a tank, but falls apart while transforming. Warpath seems very solid and durable, "built like a tank". If you see him, buy it.
