Are you sure you want to go this route? I mean Optimus was actually kind of a hippie, what with wanting to preserve all like and protect nature and hacky sack. Megatron, now that’s patriot. He’s the kind of guy that would sell weapons of mass destruction to someone, then accuse them of having them, and then use weapons of mass destruction against them. Or is that more like Shockwave. Either way, Bush sucks.

The toy was created in Japan. The character was created over here.

Yes that was the Japanese name, but the toy started out as part of the Diaclone line. The original character was actually just a mindless drone, and had a human in the driver seat controlling it. There where several of them with the same design, but different colour (the blue one is highly sought after).

I love how some Americans are so deluded, they’ve convinced themselves that all the problems caused by the republicans in power for the last 8 years were actually caused by the democrats who’ve only recently gotten a small amount of power. By that logic, all the stuff the neo-cons bitched about Bill Clinton must have actually come from the Republicans.
