    I don't understand why they don't just make scale models of the bots.
    Seeing as how they're so realistic...

    if i could get there i'd take off in Ironhide like it was no one's business...

    I'd say something like, "hey wheres the keys to my truck?" and some one would be dumb enough to give them to me that would rock... i'd be out like a fat kid in dodgeball...

    You know they should raffle or put these vehicles in a contest i would kill for that Topkick Truck... its absolute candy

    I wonder if I'll be able to get my picture taken with them as long as I'm outside of the roped off area. I'm going to take my Prime helmet with me, and wear a TF shirt. Maybe I'll get special treatment *hopes to god*

    Those really are cool looking, I'd love to get accurate scale models of those, even if the transformation is forfeit.

    BTW Fastballspecial, where did you get your avatar from? I've seen a couple of people with the movie characters like that.
