If you get a Big Mac at McDonald’s and buy a $100 jar of pickles to put on it, that doesn’t make the Big Mac the most expensive sandwich on the market.
like a big mac with $100 of pickles.
I think we found our newest forum meme to join the ranks of "var mode", "poop", "preezy", and "stege".

Preezy was never really a thing like the others. It was a joke that briefly existed in one thread, and the one time it was referenced in a different context someone threw a tantrum about how this meant it was constantly being shoved down their throat everywhere for the specific purpose of ruining discussion forever.

So I was in Walmart in Brandon, FL today and saw these in the Christmas toy section at the front of the store. $24.97

Yep. It's all leftover Deluxe class stock from Legacy (pre-Evolution) and Studio Series. Exclusive to Walmart, too. Full details here:

I don't remember preezy at all.
I only remember it because it was partly prompted by an extremely tortured joke I made Freezon being called "Freezy" so she could be a counterpart to Rubble (this was either just before or just after IDW 2019 started). Rubble is blue, Freezy is red, get it?

And also because the guy getting mad about it was blowing it so out of proportion that I actually posted a screenshot of the search results for "preezy" being basically nothing.

...I just thought it came from someone feeling too lazy to fully type out the words "pretty easy".

Stupid Legacy bollocks. I pretty much cold-turkied out of Transformers a couple of years ago. I was even able to resist new toys for Metalhawk, Knock Out, Strongarm, some of my favourite characters. But then I stumbled across "post-apocalyptic garbage truck" and the bounders got me. So fine, I have to buy a bunch of Junkions and make a big dinosaur dude. Whatever.

I'll probably also pick up Metalhawk, Knock Out and Strongarm. Feh.

and hey miner Megatron?! Yes please! And is that little guy a motorbike made out of rock? I think I'll need that.

A point of interest regarding Titan class Cybertron Metroplex. If you get the DNA Design upgrade kit for him, in addition to his Mini-Con, better hands, and (unnecessary, but still kinda nice) gap fillers for his shoulders, you get an extra joint that allows his bucket wheel to raise and lower in vehicle mode. But what's really interesting is that this extra joint provides just enough of an extension to the weapon's length that, when arranged vertically, it becomes roughly the same height as HasLab Unicron.

My headcanon is still that Frenzy is blue, (like the toy), and Rumble is purple (like in the toon) and since the 'cons couldn't tell them apart, one of them had to start painting themselves red, and eventually they start swapping who gets to be the red one when they get bored.

I think something like that should be part of their official bios. I remember the (IDW?) comics mentioned minibots/cons like the cassettebots were treated like lower caste citizens or something? Perhaps this could be tied in with the racist notion of "they all look the same"?
