I went to Toys R Us the weekend after Botcon to see if they had the new “Power Core Combiner” figures. I found the three 2-packs (one basic-sized figure and his mini-con partner) that make up the first wave there. They looked much better than I though they would.

Recon Ravage was delivered yesterday. I ordered him eight weeks ago with a special booklet and two proof of purchase stamps, along with some money for shipping. This was the first mail order exclusive Transformer to be released since 1986 (that’s the historic part), so I’m pretty happy to get this guy. Chrissy...

As with the Autobot levels, there are different accomplishments and mini-games in each chapter that unlock bonus features. I reduced my screen resolution in order to make the game...

Since I finished BioShock twice, I decided that I should go back and finish the Transformers game. I beat the Autobot campaign a while back, but I was frustrated with the Decepticon campaign and subsequently found other stuff to do with my time. Scorponok was what did it for me — he’s slow and weak, easily the most...

Chrissy got me a huge set of Generation 2 Transformers on eBay for Christmas way back in 2003. I didn’t have any G2 figures at the time, so it was a big deal for me. Included was a complete set of yellow Constructicons, construction vehicles that merged to form the super-robot, Devastator. I already had the G1 Devastator in...
