Yeah, the G1 toy was one of only a couple of mini bots I had as a kid. It was....not great. He spent a LOT of time in vehicle mode. This one has the opposite problem. Pretty good robot, but lousy car mode.

Mine still says November. I would definitely welcome him early with open arms, though.

Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches from the 1986 HBO television special "The Worst Witch." It's my wife's very favorite Halloween movie, so it's required yearly viewing. It features a cameo appearance by Tim Curry as the Grand Wizard, who does a musical number that cannot properly be described...

I wonder what options are available for the full-bearded gentleman?

Of course, there's one magic school that shines brighter than the rest:

It was clearly designed with the chest as part of the canopy, but they painted it for robot mode accuracy instead of vehicle mode. That would have been better, but the old Titans Return version is still the better vehicle by far. Studio series has a slightly better robot mode, though, if...

Depends on where you're transferring to. Hogwarts doesn't accept it, but most Witcher schools do.

Correct. This year Hasbro is presenting two lines: "Remedial Dungeons and Dragons" and "Dungeons and Dragons as a Second Language." "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" won't be available until next semester.

Megatron: "Behold, Optimus. I have harnessed the power of Thighmasters! My thighs are far too seductive for you and your chicken-legged Autobots! "

Empty spaces in my thigh keep me a low priced guy!

Found today at an antique store in a box of $1 Hot Wheels adjacent items: I swear I had a blue and red one as a child, though I live a good 2.5 hours away from St. Louis (the only place where they had the Transformers Happy Meals in 1985). Our family summer vacations did more often than not...

That was definitely a tough call. I wasn't sure how the episode was going to end. I'm not sure the Union rules about time travel are all that well thought out. I mean, obviously if you got stuck back in time and used your knowledge of the future to radically change things, that would be bad...

Dammit. I do NOW. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, even if that pic is fake, I can't imagine the real thing would be much different.

I apologize for the double post, but I just saw these and they were both too funny not to share:

Personally, I found the series enjoyable, though definitely not without some flaws. That Vader broken helmet scene, though...that was great. There's normally such a disconnect between the Anakin we see in the prequels vs. the Darth Vader we see in other media. This series, better than I had...

Thus bringing it full circle (since the Sideswipe was retooled into Cybertron Runamuck)

We showed ID4 to our son for the first time this year. It was fun watching it with someone who had never seen it.

That's not bad at all. It does need the "sunglasses," though.
