Shockwave: "And Shockwave too!!!" Scourge: "Today thanks to the help of Laserbeak, we'll give our thoughts on some interesting items from this year's Botcon." Scourge: "First to kick off the show, the new upcoming voyager Optimus Prime..." Shockwave: "Good news though! Energon Grimlock now has somebody that can ride him into battle." Scourge: "So put down drink, don't have to worry about the fat one jumping on you now." Shockwave: "Next up is the new leader class Armada Megatron." Scourge: "Armada Megatron? Looks more like G1 Megatron at some cosplay event." Shockwave: "Good point..." Scourge: "Finally, we have the new AoE deluxe Hot Shot." Shockwave: "How very Trackish...." Scourge: "It's the movies con! The same one that has a character that looks like Bulkhead named Hound."
Yeah, that Optimus is pretty weak-looking. It's been suggested that he might actually be the torso for a combiner team, but I'm not entirely convinced. Personally, I think that the new design is supposed to be a more "G1-ified" version of Rescue Bots Optimus, trying to be a mix between kiddy and normal, or else he's an upscaled version of the Generations 2014 Legends class Optimus. Of course, there's always the possibility that he's just a mediocre figure with a terrible design.
Now people, I wasn't planning on doing a full run down. Just some figures that would work perfectly for Scourge and Shockwave to make fun of.
Shockwave: "And that's how I made Ratchet see stuff that others couldn't." Scourge: "You just had to tell a story." Shockwave: "Like I knew his hearing was that good." Grimlock: "Me Grimlock king, me want story." Scourge: *Snickers* Grimlock: "Why truck robot laugh at me Grimlock?" Scourge: "Most of us know by now that the undies are meant to go inside." Grimlock: "Me Grimlock confused." Scourge: "Surly a king like yourself should know that by now." Grimlock: "Me Grimlock leaving!! Truck robot no tell me Grimlock how to dress!!!" Scourge: "I've took care of the issue, so as you were.... Um Shockwave?"
I had planned on making this longer, but it was just too hot. Grimlock: "Me Grimlock will crush tank robot!! Tankor: "Tankor will smash!!!" Grimlock: "Me Grimlock says tank robot is dum dum...." Tankor: "Tankor destroy dinobot......" Grimlock: "Me Grimlock no dinobot, me Grimlock king!!!" Scourge: "Looks like a dumb off." Shockwave: "Only thing missing is that green guy...."
