Now that Robin got her Male Prostitute, it looks like she is heading to the Cheese Cosplay section! :)

The was my first thought too!

I alwyas just figured the red/blue Leo Prime was supposed to be an indicative nod to how he kinda looked before he trans-scanned the white lion in the first episode or whatever. Or something like that.

I guess I better stroll down to Target and grab him tomorrow before Black Friday.

I was pretty disappointed when I picked up the original Lio Convoy. The Robot Masters version of him, however, is one pretty well put-together toy.

Yea, a friend of mine has that. If ever I was annoyed at Hasbro for a TF toy sales decision, it'd be for their not bringing over the Robot Masters Toy line.

I will never forgive Hasbro for nerfing Leobreaker's full arm mode and his articulation. For me, a good arm mode that looked like the cartoon would be the only thing this mess of a toy had going for it.

Yes, even if they did have good, fiscally-responsible reasons. And what the hell was with the electronics? You barely even noticed they existed.

Presumably the same mindset that brought us such hits as "Let's make 4 functionally identical Autobot Headmaster bricks in the same class" and "Transmetals means we can't make any furry beasts anymore" made its presence known by demanding that all Voyager-class toys have electronics packages... regardless whether their inclusion made sense for the toy, or even crippled it.

That sort of compulsive category-definition has been linked to autism.

Wow. It's been a long time since I've seen a Walmart Vest Employee.

It's true that the most unrealistic thing about today's portrayal of Walmart is the ability to find a Walmart salesfloor associate.

Well if you look for vests instead of Blue Polo Shirts, I can see why you can't find any. :P
