    "Damn it Slag, you overgrown rust bucket. Stand still!"

    "Grrrrr"

    *gulp* "Sorry. Look, I just need a second to apply a little of Wheeljack's kragle, okay?"

    "Hey Prime, I know I'm new around here and all, but is everything okay? You seem a little angry."

    "Why do you say that?"

    Why are the tail fins painted on your copy? I thought this version deleted the paint?

    It is, I swapped the earthrise parts and the coronation parts into this,

    that’s why I called it “earthrised” :p  it honestly works. This one has the coronation wings because the paint is better on those, the arms, can’t get the head but I think the original is better, I just felt like the original body has better paint no offense to the coronation one, it has paint as well but the earthrise has a gloss

    Edit: you can also swap the head, by swapping the front jet nose

    I won't lie. I had to wait 20 years for IMDb to exist before I finally could learn what galvatron was saying when he stepped on his crown. Before that it just sounded like "Does anyone else want to fissure his minions?"

    When Unicron was saying "You cannot destroy my destiny" before he blew up/as he was blowing up, I thought he was saying "Just a minute" for the longest time.

    Picked up Slug at the weekend and got him out of his cardboard prison last night

    He's a lot of fun! More fun than I expected him to be for sure. I don't think he's quite as good as Grimlock, but he is a good, chunky, fun toy. The Triceratops mode looks less potato-shaped in person than it does in photos, and is probably my preferred of the two modes. Robot mode is also better than anticipated, but I do worry about his knees. They're a little wobbly on my copy, like there's a little too much room between the teeth on the ratchet joints

    I don't think I'll be going all in on the Dinobots, but I'm glad I picked this guy up for sure. Helps that he was slightly discounted too

    Daniel can get in the bin though. Somehow worse than Wheelie, which is saying something
