Yeah, I finally saw that myself after I posted that Amazon/T'R'U link.
Weird thing: I have decided that I HATE the new form factor small cars, but
I used to LOVE the original mini-bots. So, I'm basically full of it. Go out
and buy the little ones, enjoy 'em. I'll just end up with Optimus, Magnus,
and the three large cars (especially now that I have seen Sky-Byte and the
Decepticon 3-pack in person at Wal*Mart today...boy, that Gasskunk ain't the
only thing that stinks on the evil side of the line).
I understand that TF:RID is supposed to be an alternate universe with a new
storyline, but I wonder what real benifit is to trying to re-mold Japanese
stories and animation to fit the American back-story. Why even bother?
