Sadly there's no naration to go with the video just this description:

Man they have all the fun at the joe conventions... but we still win at drinking  

We should so do this with an army of Twin Twist's next year at Botcon... parachutes optional.

 

 

Would Twin Twist be in said army of Twin Twists? If so, count me in.*

*I can't go to Botcon '08 though

 

Gotta love the woman with a 15 inch waist

 

We ought to throw Wheelies and Cybertron Backstops at traffic. That'd be much more fun.

 

First year in a while I didn't want the Con Paratrooper

 

Wow so that looks fun

 

Maybe throw all the "scalpers" that think they can sell 08 Bumblebee for insane amounts over the edge.

 

Sweet.

 

  I'm all for that.

And instead of parachutes, we should use bricks.  

 

Parachutes optional?

 

That is pretty cool... someone should replace the music with "Ride of the Valkyries"

 

Holy Christ, that was awesome.

yeah, the parachuting joes have been a tradition for awhile.

 

I think we should have a Transformer jump at the next convention. But, no 'chutes and they all land into tarps stitched together.

 

that doesnt make sense. a tf con should have jumpstarters and throttlebots launched en massse instead.

 

So is there like a mad scramble at the bottom when they land? I wanna go loiter like six floors down from the drop point with a big net.

 

Forget the net.

TARGET PRACTICE!!!

Sling shot with some "AA rounds" through the parachutes.

Or, lean out with some shears to cut the lines. Yeah, I'm twisted.

 

Yup,
Back em up and watch them fly over the side transform in mid air fall several floors and take out grandma
